champagne ia far in eiteaa of th* aup
ply from the vineyards owned and
ronlrolled hy the#* big houre* and in
order to Increase or augment th* atoek
front their own grape* they have re
autirie to the following plan:
Buying the Crape*.
The farmer* or grape growers In a
certain locality bring in all of their
grapes to a common entre-pot under
government direction and control and
when, at the expiration of two yenre
and some months, the big champagne
houses send their agents to the entre
pot end thefr Individual corks, cap
sules. labels, etc., are put onto the bot
tles. the product of the government, af
ter being sweetened and fixed accord
ing to their special way. Thus the Im
pression, very general, that In drink
ing a bottle of all importations of
French champagne with but two ex
ceptions. one Is enjoying (he Juice of
•ne particular vineyard, is destroyed.
The contents of the bottle may be th:’
product from vineyardstnlle# apart and
secured at the common entre-pot.
Champagne makes its own carbonic
ecld go*, the sparkling little bnbbles
that rise and buret at the top of the
glass, diffusing the bouquet and frag
rance of the wine. *
When the grape growers have a good
aeaaoo.when there have been no eould
burste, no rabbits, no ravage* of tb?
dreaded phylloxera, the farmers con
gratulate themselves on the "ciivee” or
perfect season.
The color of champagne, she pale
straw color, a darker orange tint or
even a distinctly red tinge, is, accord
ing to the amount of skin or cuticle
used in the pressings.
The ordinary color is the light straw
color, but a beautiful wine to look at
was the Importation a few years ago,
of a small number of cases, of a crim
son champagne.
Peculiar Features.
While it was a perfectly pure French
champagne, its general sale was cur
tailed by the impression that the color
was the result of doctoring by means
of a red Burgundy or claret, whereas
it was the excess of cuticle used in the
first process.
Another peculiar and Inexplicable
feature of champngne-making is that
while the wine from grapes from a par
ticular vineyard, or even arbor in a
vineyard, may be perfect and of high
quality, the product of grapes from
even one hundred or two hundred fest
away is a distinctly different and in
ferior grade. It ail depends upon the

gcrlleman. who ia a master of his sub
ject >ud who can. blind-folded, cor
rectly name the vintages of certain
wines, rrntintied to regale The Herald
man > n the subject of California sher
ry and sweet wines California can
not mike sherry as produced in Spain,
due probably to the absence of certain
climatic conditions. Crape* of fine and
equal quality for sherry ran b* raised,
exactly the same processes observed,
but the result 1* not the same. A some
th.ng Is larking in California sherry
that the Spanish article has. and the
remits oblalncd by the Spanish sun
Is sought for in the Golden State by
means of baking or steaming.
Tbe difference is quickly Been and
ap predated In (such u*ea as In cooking
terrapin with eherry, when the latter
article turns to vinegar.
Theer are the very greatest pcsslbll-
Itl ’* in California from the vintucul
turist’s standpoint. Nature has made
It a golden apot and the finest brandy
In the whole world la made there. That
this Is appreciated Is evidenced by the
fact that the German government has
contracted for Urge quantities for use
in tbe German army and navy.
Concerning the cost of champagne,
the gentleman estimaled that a first
class French champagne costs about
eighty cents per quart in Franca to
make.
This figure iffcludes the wine, the
1 bottle, the cork, the label and the cas
ing. This retails in the United States
for $3.50 to $4 and the difference in
| eludes the 40 per cent ad valorem duty,
importers' expenses, which are heavy,
i (he middleman's and the retailer's
profits.
That there Is not so much profit at
these figures Is told by the fact that
most clubs prefer to serve an equal
amount in money, of other items, rath
er than a pint or quart bottle of cham
pagne.
A brut or unsweetened champagne is
the healthier drink, but it is practically
unknown in the United States and par
ticularly in the South, while the sec,
or sweetened, wine, has by far the
largest sale.
During this delightful and instructive
afternoon's conversation, it is needless
to state that the subject had frequent
and pertinent, practical illustration
and when the little party broke up, it
was with mutual expressions of grati
fication and good fellowship.

No One Knows.
Nobody up there knows any resi
dent of the town who is concerned p*
executor or otherwise In the case Of
any estate, the heir* of which are un
known.
Judge Banka said that the estate
mentioned in the advertisement Is cer
tainly not located In the district over
which bis court baa Jurisdiction.
There are only two wills pending In
tbe Probate court which are of suffi
cient importance a* to th* extent of
the estates concerned to be thought of
in connection with the advertisement
of "executors.” They are the Albert
Turr.ey and Mrs. Gooken wills. In
neither of these cases, however. Is
tbero any doubt aa to the legal heirs,
and tbe mystery of the adopied child,
the Probate court officials are certain,
can therefore have no reference to
them.
Assistant Postmaster Smith was ask
ed what would be done with letters
received in his office addressed solely
to "executors.”
He said they would be held for in
vestigation.
He p;bb told that nn advertisement
had been Inserted in a newspaper .ask
ing for certain information to be s*nt
to "Executors, Fairfield, Conn." and
was thereupon asked If any resident
of Fairfield or anybody else had not
left word at the postoffice to hold for
htm all letters so addressed. “No
instructions have been received at the
postoffice regarding letters or other
mail matter addressed ‘Executors,’ ”
he said. "If any come wc will not
Uno wmhat to do with it, except hold
it, as I said before, for investigation,
as to the party or parties entitled to
It.”
Mr. Smith declared he could not im
agine who the person or persons re
sponsible for the advertisement could
be. He is sure (hat the Implied mys
ter.v is not part of Fairfield’s written
cr unwritten history, except in so far
as some of the actors in the drama
may have since removed to that town.
In that event they had certainly kept
their secret well, since there has not
in his recollection been a rumor or
inkling of any kind in Fairfield or
roundabout concerning him. Sheriff
Bulkley was equally at a loss as to the
identity of the "executors.” “These
people, whoever they are,” he said,
"are undoubtedly using the Fairfield
postotfice address to hide their true!
whereabouts. They may be staying

The Rumor.
There was a manor In euyculaiiou In
Bridgeport, of which city Fairfield is
a suburb, that a uian teamed James
Campbell, residing either in Bridge- ;
p„n or Falrfjeld, could clear up the
mystery of the advertisement. The
only man by the name of Campbell
living In Fairfield waa located at the
summer boarding house kept by Far
mer John Totten. He is James Camp
bell, an engraver, doiug business at 01
Bookman street. New York, and living
at No. 173 Penn street, Brooklyn. “Not
guilty," Mr. Campbell fatltlously re
marked when tjfo subject whs broaftb-*
ed to him. "ljliuvo not the slightest
conception of what the advertisement
moans, who the executors are, or any
thing In fad alibut the allaic No, I
did not insert , the advertisement.” In
Bridgeport an yffort was made- to see
a Dr. who resides on Bark
avenue, but h<\ was not to be seta.
Members cf hjs"'' family said that he
had gore out ofHOWD, adding, in repljt
to Questions, they did not know
where he had pone or when he would
be bac-U.
It was said that Dr. Campbell was
the family physician of the parents of
the child who was adopted by the
childless ecuple from the house at 140
West Sixteenth street, anti that It was
he who was advertising under the
name of "executors.” Dr. Campbell's
pos:office address, however, is not
Fairfield, but Bridgeport. However,
neither verification nor denial could be
secured at his residence last night.
