Dana of New York said;
"Almost all books have their use, but
some are Indispensable TO this kind of an
education. But Of all these the most use
ful, the most Indispensable, the one whose
knowledge is the most effective, is the Bi-
BILE.

THE DREYFUS CASE.
REPORT OF THE CAPTAINS AT.
TEMPTED SUICIDE INCORRECT.
Count Won Munster Publishes Note
Declaring That the German En-
bassy Never Had ANY Relations
With Dreyfus.

Paris, Dec. 24.-The report that Captain
Alfred Dreyfus, the French officer who
was sentenced on Saturday last to be
deported for life and to be inferred in a
fortress, had afterwards attempted to
commit suicide. turns out to be incorrect.
AS the newspapers have been claiming
that the accusation made against Captain
Dreyfus was based upon a, document
stolen from the German embassy, Count
Won Muneter, the German ambassador,
publishes a note today declaring in the
most positive terms that the German en-
hasSy never directly or indirectly had any
relation with Captain Dreyfus and oe-
handing the statement that the document
referred to was stolen from the German
embassy be denied as malicious false

The relations of Japan with the neutral
powers are more friendly than ever. A

other states the negotiations are making
favorable progress.
In conclusion the speech says:

government and the people to assist in

The government is sti1 sSeptical in re-
gard to China's peace overtures and
points out that no authoritative state
ment has been made by China IN regard
ito the mission of the ENJOYS, and while
China now processes to wish peace, news
has reached the government of Japan

AFTER PORTER ASHE.
Williams Says He VIII Land Him In
San Quentin.

San Francisco, Dec. 24.-"You can
saw for me that if there be any law in
this state to punish man for robbing
an insane woman. I will have Porter
Ashe in San Quentin before he is many
months older"
That is one of the remarks made by
Thomas H. Williams, jr. 1t indicates
that much more than what has already
been related may still be said Of the
affairs of the unfortunate Mrs. Althea
Terry. whose dramatic career seemed
to end when she entered the gates of
the asylum at Stockton. 1t is matter
of recent news that Mr.. Williams was
appointed the temporary guardian OF
the affairs of Mrs. Sarah Althea Terry,
widow of Judge David S. Terry, who
was killed while assaulting Justice
Stephen J. Field. four years ago. He
expects the superior court to make him
her permanent guardian on Friday
next. When he made his appeal he
preferred serious charges against r.
Porter Ashe, who has been acting as
Mrs. Terry's guardian for three years.
He accused Ashe of many reprehenis4ole
acts and plainly called him to task for
alleged dishonesty. In his petition ne
did not enter into details.
He will have much more to relate
when the affair is investigated, and he
says he will push the matter TO the end
to prove his charges against Ashe. He
accuses the latter of having Dlundered
the estate of Mrs. Terry. He has IN
his possession certain documents which
look none too pleasant for Ashe- When
the latter is heard ne may have an ex-
plantation to make.
Williams says that Ashe pawned
gold watch belonging to Judge Terry
and jeweIry belonging to his mad
widow. applying the proceeds to his
own use. He has receipts and checks
to prove some Of his charges, one of
which is that carload Of Mrs. Terry's
personal effects were removed from
her home in Fresno by Ashe and were
never seen since ALTHOUGH Ashe made
no accounting of the valuables
''Ashe has been masqueradine as a.
millionaire for years" said Williams.
HE has not a cent and has been using
this wonlAn's money to cut a figure.
know him and know Just where he
stands" He shall be called to account
for every cent of her belongings and
he may find to his sorrow that my
sources of information REGARDING him
have been startlingly accurate These
things have disappeared. Ashe is re-
sponsible for them before the law. I
would rather be a shareholder than
steal that way" was Williams angry

THE STORM IN HOLLAND.

Amsterdam, Dec. 24.-The damage at
Rotterdam by the storm is estimated at
500, 900 FORMS Out of 135 fishing boats be-
longing to the latter port, twenty-five
foundered and fifty were badly damaged.
Throughout North Holland where the
storm ragged with extreme violence the
damage is tremendous. The loss in live
stock is great, many cattle and sheep
having been drowned.
The island of Marker in the Zuiderzee,
ten miles north of Amsterdam, was al
most submerged. The dyke along the
banks of the Yassel river gave way under
the great strain and the water rushing
through swept locomotive off the track.
