2 WISES AM) WISE HOUSES METHODS BY WHICH CHAMPAGNE IS SOLD. Hoffman House Gatherings-Some of the Well-Known Men Who Meet at the Hoffman Bar Room—A Few Points About New York Politics and Politic aus. New York, Oct. 29.—0 none of the streets of New Yoi k running at right angles with Broadway is a big but dingy store. Great brass signs ou either side of the door Indicate that it is a wholesale wine house. You enter the offices, which have a dark but not depressing appearance, anil arc met by one of the retainers, who inquires your business. You state that you wish to see the head of the house, and after some delay you are shown into the inner office of the establishment. A mail who looks the tyjie of an elderly French Count, but who is a German, sits sipping champagne with a rich customer, and when you enter he tai>s a bell and orders the retainer, who responds to the call, to bring another quart bottle of wine. Two or three of the agents of the firm drop in, and as they sip their wine, they aid the father of the house, who-e establishment and attaches represent the typical rich wine place of the metropolis, tell you about the wine business of America. You hear the somewhat astonishing asser tion that the people of the United States are drinking little if any more imported wine than they did a decade ago, notwith standing the increase of population and wealth. You are told that this is because the mass of Americans appear to be becom ing more economical and to be learning to drink more l>oer and less wine. New York, of course, eousumes more champagne than any other city in the United .States, but Chicago uses a large amount of it. This is due to the fact that it is a great speculative centre. Sr>e ulators are the most liberal imbibers of champagne in the country, and places which eater to them are constantly besieged by the keen agents of wine houses These agents are fashionably dressed, ele fnnt gout.emcn. but tln ir life is a hard one. hey must drink wine and spend money lilierally, and each must have, besides a pleasing address, aa iron constitution. They must know and be on good terms with the bartenders and wine stewards at the fash ionabie resorts of the city, for little care lessncss in beeping wide a proper tem perature or in serving it may ruin its sale to desirable customers. They must know everybody who is worth knowing ami spend their liberal alio n ances for incidental with judgment. One agent for a then compara tively obscure firm had its wine put on the bills of fare of nearly every hotel in New York not long ago by reason of his exten sive acquaintance and popularity, but the firm objected to the extent of his expense account and he left them, taking with him much of his custom. A veteran agent of one of the wine houses, who, like many of the profession, had his training in Europe, tells of his experience one day at a restaurant in a small German town. He entered with five gentlemen of prominence who were on a rural excursion with him and won the astonishment and ad miration of the loiterers about the place when he gave the order: “Bring me six lx>t tles of champagne and six glasses. 1 ’ A peasant who was considered a great man by bis townsmen bad entered and heard the order. Determined not to let his glory fade before the lustre of the strangers, be turned to the waiter and in a loud and pompous tone said: “Bring me six bottles of chain- ' pagneand one glass.” His order and liis as- I tonishing feat of drinking nearly all the champagne raised him mightily m the esti mation of his admirers. The great champagne firm has ite depart ment of still wines conducted by experts in that branch of the trade, who will tell you the age and pedigree of a wine by tast ing it They will tell you that Americans are making comparatively slow progress in learning to drink expensive still wines, and that champagne is not after all the most ex pensive or vinous drinks. Clarets and Rhine wines at $6 a bottle are sold in con siderable quantities, and Giovanni Moro sini. Mr. Gould’s right hand man, who is not a wine drinker himself, but keepsa well stocked cellar, has some of that peculiarly rich brand of Italian wine known as Chianti, which is almost worth its weight in gold. The average New York wine firm occasionally sends a young man to France to perfect him in the study of his business. One of these has just returned and he states that the chempagne and still wine product of the present season is less in quantity but probably better in quality than that of last year. The French wine growers are slowly learning the vaiue of a certain application about the vines as a protection against mil dew. and nearly every vineyard where this was not used proved a failure this year. The young agent made the astonishing dis covery that the iieople in the champagne district drink very little champagne. The Frenchman and German usually prefers a red wine, ami to meet the demand one firm is now producing what it calls ruby cham pagne. There are some royal wine drinkers in New York. One of these is a young man who may lie seen occasionally at the fashionable calc and who is isiinted out by the epicures hs the person who inherited Sam Ward’s stock of rare old liquors. Fat Gilmore, the famous musical director, never drinks any thing else but champagne, and he is consid ered one of the best judges of it in New York. There is a modest little restaurant on one of the crosstown streets of the city, whose proprietor is counted by friends who long for a taste of his private stock of Bur gundy, and who envy him because ho has been able to drink it all his life without get ting the gout. The association of epicures known as the Terrapin Club are constantly on the lookout for choice Madeira, which they use in cook ing their feasts ol diamond backs. Recently a member found live bottles of it at an old wine shop in a cheap quarter of the city. The place had changed bauds, and the new proprietor was asked what he would take tor the liquor. He was getting $1 50 a bot tle for his Madeira, and lie gladly sold the epicure the five bottles at that price. When he discovered that it was some choice old wine, worth at least $5 a bottle, he tried in vain to annul the bargain. A. J. Cummings. IL I went into the Hoffman House cafe the other night after the theatre, and I was struck by the general air of happiness and good humor that pervaded the place. It, was in the very beat of the political fight, and the big room was filled with politicians, actors and men-about-town. Familiar faces were seen on every side, from such fledg lings as Edward Hothern, son of the famous old comedian, and James G. Blaine, Jr., the son of his eminent father, to old-timers like Harry Hill, the dive-keeper, and Frank Work, the banker. Young Sothem lias rather a striking face, but his companion, Blaine, is about as sappy, puerile and effeminate-looking a youngster as I have ever seen. His features are small, his figure slim, and he dresses in the most advanced und dudish attire. He looks like a dude from the suburbs and not a dude from New York. There is a certain provincialism about him that intensifies the effect of his absurd clothe,-. De Lancey Niooll has just been indorsed by the Republicans for the District Attor neyship, It is in one sense the most remark able fight that has yet taken place for that office in the history of New York politics. | The District Attorney’s office did its duty under tlio law in prosecuting the tssxile i Aldermen. New York was so delighted at j the discovery that it had at least one faith ful department in its city government that I it immediately seized upon all its employes and tried to exalt them in political favor. There is something almost painful in the ef fect of any kindness on the j>urt of a New York officeholder to a voter. It is so unex pected and delightful a sensation tn the said voter that he becoin -s the slave t< > the office holder offhand. C'n!. Fellow- and . e Lan cey Niooll were bo h p imineut in the boodle trials. Nicol! w< rked thecases upand Col. Fellows, who is an eloquent orator and an old-time Democratic war horse summed up. He is one of the most brilliant and re markable speakers in the country. Both men were Democrats, and both had a strong local following. The Dem ocratic party lias a big majority lin New York city. There was a great straggle betwen the friends of Niooll and Fellows to see which should get the nomina tion. Fellows got it, District Attorney Murtine was nominated lor the bench, and Ntroll was left out in the cold. There'.qxm Niooll decided to run on an independent ticket; and he was taken upand indorsed by the Republican party, it was just after the Kepuulieuns had indorsed the young advocate that I strolled into the Hoffman House. Niooll had put his head in the door for a moment and he w as instantly surrounded by friends. He was quiet and dignified, but lie could not help showing some of the elation lie felt over the proofs he just had of bis popularity. He shook hands heartily with his friends and hastily retired. Col. Fel lows, small of stat ure, round, red-faced and genial, stood by the oyster counter with a fork in one hand and a wary eye ou the oysters. Every instant some nu n would rush up and so:*.* him by the hand and nearly wring it off of his arm, while he promised his enthusiastic support und pro phesied victory. The Colonel would smile, squeeze the hand in return, spear an oyster, and swallow it hastily in time for the next man. A wall circle of enthusiastic admirers stood about, four feet away, and gazed lov ingly at the orator and candidate. Com missioner Jacob Hess an<i Senator Fred Gibbs stood arm-in-arm at the. bar, two stalwart, broad-shouldered and happy men. They are war horses of the Republican party. Talking to them was Douglas Levine, a small, thick-set and amiable man that does not believe in anything that is not Democratic. Jimmy Oliver, once a news boy and now a legislator, stood with his arm on Ed Stokes’shoulder, talking confi dentially to the millionaire speculator and hotel keener. Both men were prematurely gray, and their w hite heads were in sharp contrast to tlioir ruddy faces. Con gressman Bourse < ,'ockran, who has a head like n buffalo, stood talking to E. G. Glm iiv, and Little Marshall Wilder and Rob Hilliard were rolling around in two chairs and pounding the ta bles in front of them with delight at each other’s stories. They presented a wonder ful contrast. Hilliard, tall, athletic, well molded, handsome and the acknowledged king of the dudes: Wilder, a dwarf, or rather a cripple, lacking everything that Hilliard possessed, except unbounded ani mal spirits and exhaustless good nature. Maurice Barrymore, suave and muscular, leaned over A. C. Gunter, the playwright, and discussed the limitations of different actors, w hile James Barton L'V wandered around amiably from one group to another, his round face beuming happily. Gen. Barnum and Maj. Rice talked war and Republicanism till the glasses danced on tlie bar, and there were dozens of round ers and Wall street men like Charlie Johns, Jeff George and Sam King, who drank champagne liberally and were willing to bet on anything in sight. No reception in a private house could ever have had the ease anil jollity of this assembly. Every man was acquainted with liis neighbor, though there were 200 men in the room, and, curi ously enough, there was very little drinking at the bar. Occasionally someone would give an order, but the glasses stood idle while the discussions waxed hot. It was the fim of meeting there that caused the crowd to collect for a chat an hour before bedtime. Blakely Hall. FLORIDA’S METROPOLIS. The Saloon Keepers Accused of False Swearing Discharged. Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 29.—Warrants were issued yesterday for the arrest of Byron Benue: t, W. H. Itjen and E. L. Wauklyn by Justice Magill on complaint of Dr. N. Webster and B. E.'.Sawyer, charging them with false swearing as regards their liquor business. In making application for license, the applicant is required to make affidavit to the effect that the names on the petition were placed there voluntarily and without hope of reward by the parties themselves. In the petitions of the above named de:-lulants the names of Dr. Web ster and Mr. Sawyer appeared, while they assert that they neither signed the petitions themselves nor authorized anyone else to sign for them; consequently it is claimed that, in making affidavit to the effect that the complainants did sign, the de fendants swore falsely. They were be fore Justice Magill this forenoon. The colored men who had charge of getting up the petition, appeared add swore most posi tively that the names on the petition were all right, but they were colored men and not the two who were prosecuting. The Justice then dismissed the case, Messrs. Webster and Sawyer having to pay the costs. The Nassau schooner “Fearless,” Captain Malone, came in this morning from Aboco with 400 bundles of bananas, 0,000 oranges, 500 cocoanuts and other fruit. The captain reports that the bark Mary E. Douglass, abandoned at sea in August, had drifted into Aiioco. Tiie cargo, consisting of as sorted merchandise, was in very fair condi tion, and the wreckers realized a good prefit. The hull of the vessel is worthless. COLUMBUS’ ELECTRIC LIGHTS. An Expectation that They Will Be in Working Order in a Week. Columbus, Ga., Oct. 29.—The poles and wires for lighting the city by electricity have been put in place and part of the ap jMiratus has beeii received. The lamps have not yet arrived, but they have been on the road since Oct. 7. They should have arrived before now. As soon a>tiiey arrive the company will put them in place, and it is expected that the system will lie ready for trial in about a week from now. The city registration books have been opened since Sept. 10, and as yet only 349 voters have registered. Of this number 279 are white and se\ enty are colored. Only ten votei-s have registered from the annexed districts. Thomas Hill was stopped by two un known negroes on one of the unfrequented streets and robbed to day. The Russell county Circuit Court which has been in session at ISoule, adjourned Fri day night. Several of flic most important cases were continued to the next term. The following are the most iinjiorUuit criminal cases, which were disposed of during the week: Tom Ford, burglary, guilty and sen tenced to the penitentiary for two years. Jim Williams, grand larceny, guilty and sentenced to the penitentiary for one" year. Will Well borne, same charge, and same sentence. Wallace Fhearhon, assault with intent to murder, guilty and sentenced to the peni tiary for six months. Sale of a Lumber Company’s Plant. Pensacola, Fla., Oct. 29.—The Semi nole Lumber Company, limited, the own ers of extensive mill property, which through the death of the manager, and other unfortunate circumstances have re mained inoperative for some time past, was to-day purchased by a Western syndicate, and it is pretwble that the plant, which is of great value, will soon lie placed in active operation. Not to be Shot. Nogales, Ari., Oct. 29. —A dispatch from El Puso to the effect that Col. Arvisu and Lieut. Guiterez, the Mexican officers who created the disturbance on the American side in this city, were to lie shot, is a mis take. Arvisu was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment and Guiterez to three years. Offensive breath vanishes with the use of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, OCTOBER of), 1887. MISS DAVIS AT ATHENS. A MILITARY ESCORT ACCOMPANIES HER FROM MA.ON. Those Who Were the Immediate Mem bers of Her Party- Those who Will Act as Hosts in the Classic City—The Greeting at the Depot. Macon, Ga., Oct. 29. —This morning Miss Winnie Davis and her sister, Mrs. Hayes, left for Athens to attend the complimentary german ■ to lie given in honor of Miss Davis by the Athenian Ciub next Tuesday evening. They were accomr allied by Misses Matty, Liu and Gussie Bacon and Miss Flew Reese, of Macon. The party went under the escort of Judge Howell Cobb and Maj. Lamar Cobb, of Athens. M. B. Curry, of Virginia, was also a mem ber of the party. They travel in a special car and will return to Macon next Wednes day evening. Mrs. Hayes and Miss Davis will lie the guests of All's. Howell Cobb dur ing their stay in Athens. The Misses Ba cons will be the guest of Maj. laniar Cobb, Miss Reese will lie the guest of Mrs. Judge Thomas. A BRILLIANT AFFAIR. It is understood that the german will be the most brilliant social event that ever oc curred in Athens. It will lie led by Jeptba H Rucker, a leading and popular spirit in business and social circles. With the de parture this morning of Airs. Hayes and Miss Winnie Davis for Athens the round of brilliant entertainments and social pleasure that has marked the presence of the Davis party in Alacon ceased, and Mr. and Mrs. Davis will rest quietly at “Hill Crest” until next Wednesday evening or Thursday morn ing, when they will set out ou their return trip to Beauvoir. THE ARRIVAL AT ATHENS. Athens, Ga., Oet. 29.—This afternoon about 500 people assembled at the Georgia railroad depot to welcome Aliss Winnie Davis and All's Hayes to the (.'lassie City. A committee of Athenians, as also a com mittee from the Atheiiatuin Club, were present, each in a handsome carriage drawn by four beautiful gray horses decked in red, white and blue ribbons. Promptly at 5:30 o’clock the shrill whistle was heard and tbe train with its distinguished passengers in a special car came rolling into the depot. a military escort. Miss Davis and party were escorted from Alacon by a detatchmeni of sixteen men from the Green Rifles, under Captain John Hart. The guests were escorted to their carriages, and, amid the cheers of the throng, were driven from the depot. Aliss Davis and Mrs. Hayes were driven immedi ately to the residence of Airs. Howell Cobb, on Alii ledge avenue, where they received a few callers after supper tonight. There were many disappointed faces among the old veterans as the train rolled in this after noon and they saw that their old chieftain had not come, but as the stately figure of Aliss Winnie passed them tle y stepped back, raised their hats and walked off. ORIGINALITY IS EVERYTHING. How Fashionable Women Create a Sensation. New York, Oct. 29. —Anew conceit with modistes is to ornament all kindsof bonnets, hats and muffs with heads of animals, which are very pretty and original, although, per haps, valueless from a zoological standpoint. These heads, of cours*-. resemble nothing in the whole animal kingdom, and the result is, therefore, tlio more chic, or chieu, as the French put it. Every year sere tiie tendency in fashions point toward the extraordinary and tiie bizarre. The commonplace has had its day. A woman may now bo original, odd, grotesque, anything, in short, but ordinary. If she lias any sort of individu ality she can gratify her own taste so as always to make a distinct figure in any assembly. If she lacks, however, a decided personality she must resort to tiie con spicuous in dress. To be like everybody else means to be nothing. Fur this reason ingenious Parisian dressmakers and milli ners study their subjects and devise special costumes, ornaments and combinations for particular customers. A fashionable woman can often create a sensation by tiie merest trifle in the details of her toilet. She will add a flower, a ribbon, a jewel, or a bit of lace to her gown in a way that nobody else has ever thought of, and straightway a fashion is introduced and taken up by a horde of imitators, who too often forget that to follow blindly another’s idea is to argue an absence of convolutions in one’s own cranium. Women also frequently im agine that the unusual is of necessity the elegant and beautiful. It goes without saying that this is a great mistake. Oddity in costume, unless tempered by the best possible taste, inclines toward vulgarity. French modistes seldom err as to correct taste, and in one other respect American dressmakers have much to learn from them. I refer to the harmonious blending of color. Our shops exhibit the most costly and gorgeous materials, but our dressmakers, unfortunately, do not know how to put them together. Clara Lanza. What Dr. McGlvnn May Do. From the Interior. When no other priest is present, and in ease of grave necessity, Dr. McUlyun ean administer baptism, penance, extreme unc tion and the euchanst—four of tho seven sacraments of his church —but he ean neither confirm, ordain nor marry. He can not say mass. Ho can exorcise his sacer dotal office when such exercise is necessary to escape death, mutilation, infamy or the loss of valuable goods, but such exercise without such grave neees ity would incur a permanent disability until a dispensi Son should remove the irregularity. He can validly receive all sacraments except pen unce; he ean receive that if lie be in good faith and penitent. I)r. MeGlyuu cannot Ist present or assist at mass; the law requires that if he enter church during mass he must ho ejected, and. if necessary, by force. If an ejection should not be possible, theservi ees must be brought to a speeiiy close. A “vitamins,” the same being Dr. McGlynn, is denied the privilege of attending such divine offices of the church as processions, vespers and other duties peculiar to holy orders. Dr. McGlvnn cannot, in reading his breviary, say “Dominus vobiscuin” (the Lord lie with you); hut he ean say “Domine exandi orationem ineanT’ (Lord hear my prayer). He is still bound by his vows of chastity and celibacy, but must read his offices in private. He has no share in in dulgences. Racing at Nashville.

TORTURE A Victim of Inflammatory Rheumatism Cared —BY THE USE OF Prickly ash, Poke root, Potassium Office Ai.apaha Star, \ Alapaha, Ga., .June U, 1880. f Gentlemen About nine months aero* was attacked with Inflammatory Rheu matism in my fvet, back, shoulders and breast. The pains were excruciating and continuous. For six weeks I was confined to my bed, and part of the time had to be assisted to turn over. At times 1 could not sit up, it to do so would have secured a fortune. My feet were swollen, and the bottoms of t hem so tender that walking was a constant source of the liveliest misery. It would I*- impossible to express in words the agony I endured. I tried a number of remedies, so-called, and some of them afforded tempo ray re lief, but it was only temporary, and I begun to despair of finding a cure. I had h *ard several gentlemen speak of a new Rheumatism cure manufactured at WaycrosH, and while I listened I doubted. Finally I met two or three parties who had tried this new medicine and had been cured, and i decided to procure a pint of it and test its virtues. This I did, and was satisfied I had been benefited. Well, to make a long story short. I con tinued to take the medicine until 1 had used three and a half quart bottles, im E roving all the while in my general ealth. and noticing a steady decrease in the Rheumatism When the half of the fourth quart was finished I felt as well as 1 ever did in my life, with only an occasional touch of Rheumatism, and since taking the first quart I have been able to attend to my duties in the office, not having lost u moment since on account of my former enemy.
