MoKINLEY'S SITUATION.
St Louis Globe Dutnocrnt
There are certuin politicians who re
fuse to believe that McKlnley will be
noailnuted, notwithstanding the mani
festly decisive drift in his favor. They
cite precedents to prove that his supe
rior strength is likely to become a
source of weakness when tho conven
tiou meets by causing a combination of
nil of the other candidates against him,
He 1h now, they say, much in the posh
tion of Seward in 1800, of Blaine in
1870. and of Grant in 18S0. But these
cases are not aualogous. The condi
tiona that now prevail are significantly
different from those which then exist
d. There was a strong and bitter per
Bonal antagonism in all of the three in
stances mentioned, aa well as a pro
nounced feeling that defeat would fol
low the nomination of the men in ques
tion. There ib no such opposition to
McKinley. Those who prefer other
candidates are not hostile to him in
any malicious sense, and are not saying
that the succoss of the party would be
imperiled by his nomination. They
honor and admire him, and are ready
to Rive him their enthusiastic support
in the event that he carries the con
vention. Tho precedents of the defeat
of leading; candidates do not count
against him, therefore, and may as well
be dismissed from consideration,
It is well to keep in mind tho fact,
furthermore, that McKlnley has a large
reserve power as a second choice can
didate. The states that are committed
to Heed, Allison, Morton and Quay can
not be combined on anybody for the
purpose of beating the Ohio man. They
are all friendly to him, and a mujority
of their delegates will vote for him
whenever they are released from their
obligations to local favorites This is
not a matter of conjecture, but of pos
itive information. It is reasonably
certaiti that he will have a mujority of
the votes of tho convention on the flrst
ballot; but if lie shall happen to come
short of the requisite number, they
will Boon be furnished. The conditions
are such that there can be no "dark
horse" trotted out to beat him. His
strength is of the kind'that is sure to
attract the votes of unpledged delega.
tions, and to prevent stampeding in
in any other direction. The sentiment
of the party throughout the whole
country is unquestionably in his favor;
the people are fer him in an earnest
and insistent way. In eo far as a thing
can le settled before it has actually
occurred be is a winner, and all talk to
the contrary is simply the idle specula
tion of politicians who are slow to ac
knowledge the failure of their attempts
to nominate somebody else.
The ninth annual session of the Be
atrice Chautauqua assembly will be
held June 16th to 28th, inclusive, and
will besides include a special Fourth of
July program of vory great interest.
Dr. W. L. Davidson, the well known
Chautauqua worker, will have charge

platform. This means that it will be
well done. For twelve days there will
be instruction along important lines or
study, including music, Sunday school

many other lines. Prof. C. C. Case, a
piince among chorus diiectors, will
have charge of the chorus, and will be
sides conduct classes in sight reading,
harmony and voice culture. In addN
tiou there will be the Schumann male
quartet, the Sunflower male quartet,
and the Tyrolean Troubadors, from the
Tyrol mountains, dressed in their nas
live costumes, give thoir famous Swiss

NEW YORK VINEYARDS.
Grape Culture I the JLako Region of the
State.
Tho beat tablo rrnpes In tho United
States nro grown in that portion of New
York Btntc known ns tho "lake region,"
which comprises the country round
four big lahes -Kcuka, Cnuundaigua,
Seneca and Cayuga. TIiIb is tho land
of vineyards. Thcro are about 32,000
acres of vines in this lake country. Hero
perhaps nro grown more and better
varieties of table gropes thnn elsewhere
on the continent; here also arc produced
tho light, delicate tnblc and sparkling
wines that may yet make the New York
lakedlstrictos famous as the chain pnguo
district of France.
When the writer visited tho Lako
Kcuka vineyards he found tho story of
the grape written all over tho land.
The lake Is shaped like a bndly formed
Y. At tho base of this Y, in what in
called Pleasant Valley, is tho quaint
little village of Ilainmondsport. It was
hero that grape-culture took root nearly
50 years ago, when tlio first outdoor
grapes that found their way to the New
York city, market were sent by way of
tho Erie canal.
Of course the beat tlrno to see these
beautiful vineyards is during tho vint
age, when the vines arc being plundered
of their clusters of luscious fruit.
" Every season hath its pleasures;
Spring: may boast hor flowers prime,
Yet tho vineyard's ruby treasures
Brighten autumn's sob'rer time."
In September arid early October, then,
tho vineyards look their best; big
bunchce of grapes of exquisite tint and
color shino through tho leaves, which
are turnlngbrown and yellowish-brown.
The vintage begins when the curly
varieties, as Dclawares and ConcordH,
nre ripe, and it ends with the picking of
tho lato varieties, as Catawbus and Ni
agaras. So from the flrst of Septem
ber till the middle of October the grapo
harvest gives employment to a small
army of people. The majority of the
workers aro women, who become moss
expert in tho picking nnd packing of
grapes. Girls in their teens, rosy
cheeked maidens, and gray haired moth
ers flock to the vineyards from the
neighboring farms and villages.
Tho bunches of grapes aro cut from
the stems by shears which have a coiled
spring in the handle. The fruit Is laid
carefully in boxes, which, when filled,
are carried to the end of the row. Tho
boxes aro gathered two or three timen
a day and taken to tho packing-house.
Here the clusters are sorted over, dam
aged or imperfect berries are removed,
and unripe fruit set aside. The grapes
are packed in five and ten pound baskets.
Just as it takes a woman to stow away
a whole wardrobe in a Saratoga trunk,
so itrequircs feminine fingers to pack
ten pounds of grapes into a nine-pound
basket. It is surprising how many
bunches of grapes can be pressed tight
ly yet enderly into such small space.
The number of baskets of grapes sent
annually from tho New York hike region
rs enormous. A modest estimation of
the grape crop places It at about 20,000
tons, or 40,000,000 pounds. This will re
quire about 2,500 cars for transporta
tion, and as each car holds about 2,500
baskets, the reader can readily figure
that 7,000,000 baskets is not an over-esti-mato
of the number sent to market.
Tho bulk of the New York lake grapes
Is shipped to eastern cities to New
York, Boston, Philadelphia nnd Wash
ington. It is sent by fnst freight, tho
rnte being 35 cents per 100 pounds..
Markets for New York grapes are now
being opened in the west and northwest.
Grapes are shipped by car-loadB to Chi
cngo, St. Louis, Kansas City, St. Paul,
and even as far as Winnipeg, Manitoba.

NoTel Headache Care.
The latest "cure"' suggested for the.
relief of headache Is a haircut. A cer
tain physician in London line met with
great hucccss lately in his treatment
of persistent cases of "nervous" head
aches and he has flnnlly disclosed the
secret. In each, he says, after the pa
tient had lnid bare a long tale of woe
of sleepless nights nnd miserable days
he prescribed, briefly, a pimple linir
cut. It Is not necessary that the hair
should be cropped off short after tho
fashion of convicts. The curative prop
erty of tho treutment is based on the
fact that the tube which is contained
in each single hair 1b served in the
process, and the brain "bleeds," as tlse
barbers say, thereby opening a safety
valve for the congested cranium. A
commentator in the London society
press, in referring to this cure, says:
"Try the cure when next attacked by
headache, and if the result be not sat
isfactory rest assured that it is not the
fault of the prescription, but that the
head is so wooden that it wooden'tnet."

Itust-Covcrod Gold.
According to a report of the United
States geological survey the gold found
in the Cripple Creek district occurs
.sometimes in particles too small to be
seen with the naked eye, and at other
times in plates and spongy masses, some
of which nre ns much ns a quarter of an
incli in diameter. The gold is generally
coated with a rusty, yellow-brown film
composed of some compound. Youth's
Companion.
I will not be ns those who spend tho
dny in compinining of the headache nnd
tho night in drinking tho wine that
gives the headache. Goethe.
