PUTS LIMIT ON CHAMPAGNE
French Council of State Proscribe!
District! Bearing- the Name.
SEEI0US QUESTION IN ETHICS
I It Right to Kill a Man
Who I Hopelessly Doomed to
Die a Horrible
Death f
PARIS, Jan. 24. The Council of State haa
Issued a decree limiting the name cham
pagne to wines grown and manufactured
in certain districts. These districts are prac
tically all the Department of Marne and
the south half of the Department of Atsne.
As the departments immediately south of
Marne, Aube and Yonne, also formed part
of the old province called Champagne, the
wine growers there are naturally aggrieved
at not being able to call their product
champagne and are hoping to have the
decree amended to include them. One of
the leading dealera In champagne, on being
asked his opinion of the decree, said:
'It will not affect in any way the in
teresta of the great brands or the honest
commerce In champagne. That abuses
should grow up by tb side of this honest
and prosperous trade waa Inevitable, and
1' Is against these abuses that the limita
tion, now legal instead of remaining moral.
will react.
'By Including th arrondesslment of
Chateau-Thierry, the council of state evi
dently wished to give satisfaction to th
legitimate demands of houses which make
chamnaa-ne at moderate prices, but tho
great vineyards are all found in Marne,
the true and only cradle of the champagne
vine. I do not see exactly what 8oissona
la doing within the limits; it I beUer
known for its beans."
'Why do you think public taste favor
dry wines ao much nowadaya?"
'In my opinion the chief reason is that
champagne la no longer what it used to be,
exclusively a win for dessert. The fash
ion of serving champagne from the be
ginning of a meal comes to us from Eng
land and than from America.
"Logically th trua lovers of champagne
ahould begin a meal with a very dry
wine and finish It with a very sweet one.
Connoisseurs think most of the vintages
of 1889, 189S, 1893, 1899 and 1900. most of
which are now exhausted; they are now
selecting the 1904 growths, which are just
ready and of which they ought to buy a
stock."
Question In Ethics.
The recent railway accident In a tunnel
near Brlve in France, where after a col
lision a train took fire, gave rise to a ques
tion of conscience often debated, whether
a man has the right to put another man
out of his misery when It is Impossible to
save his life.
Dr. Bosredon, one of the first medical
men to reach the scene of the accident
says: "After a thousand difficulties I
reached the place where, the engine and
tender had been thrown Into a position
like a V and I saw the fireman, Lefort,
with hla legs caught under the firebox,
his head and the upper part of his body
alone being free. Tie unhappy man, who
was quite conscious, begged me with heart
rending crlea to get him out or else to
put him to death and deliver him from the
terrible torture he was enduring, for his
lower part was being burned as well as
crushed.
"After a hopeless attempt to extricate
him, I said a few words to cheer him and
went for help. One of the compsny's
engineers returned with me and aald it
waa quite Impossible to get him out. Ail
the time Lefort, who clearly and stoically
understood his position, kept repeating:
"Kill me! Don't let me suffer like this!
I am burning alive! Kill me! Kill me!"
"At this moment one of the gendarmes
came up and I asked him if he had his
revolver. He said he had not. It was no
time to debate; immediate death was the
only remedy, and I should not have hesi
tated to use the gendarme's revolver, and
I do not think my conscience aa a man
or aa a doctor would have ever reproached
me. Unfortunately we had to leave the
unhappy man to his fate."
Brute Strength Wlna.
Jiu-jitsu and brute strength met last Sat
urday night in Paris, but as the exponent
of the former, a Fienchman, Regnier,
weighed only '.36 pounds, while his oppo
nent, a Cossack Russian, Paboudny,
weighed 281, and their heights were almost
as much in disproportion, the result can
hardly be taken aa definitive. It only re
quired three mlnutea two aeconda and Reg
nier. with hla foot twisted till it nearly
broke, had given In.
Yet Regnier. who is the French cham
pion at Jlu-Jltau. waa the favorite before
the match deaptte the disparity between
the two men. Padoubny waa allowed any
hold by the regulations and it waa by a
Jiu-jitsu hold he made Regnier surrender.
Regnier tried several times to fix a hold
on his maaslve opponent, but it seemed
to give Padoubny no trouble to ahake him
off. Both men were naked to the waist,
which is not in accordance with Jiu-jitsu
wrestling.
Tit encounter, however, prove nothing.
Jiu-jtiau la not a sport and should not be
made the object of matches. It la an ex
ercise or a mode of defense, but nothing
mora.
