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.

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.

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.

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.
