INSUFFICIENT MAIL SERVICE.
Stockdale Citizens Complaining OF the
Delivery of their Mail at
Sutherland Springs.

SutueIlduu GpIluSo.
The. business men of Stockdale, now
that they have a, railroad, desire to.
derive the full benefits from it; and
are therefore using their efforts to get
the mail service over the Gulf Shore
extended to that city.
At present Stockdale mail is pouch
ed with the Sutherland Springs mail
and there re-distributed and convey
ed to Stockdale, arriving there late in
the evening, when if it was conveyed
by the train it would arrive there at
11:30.
The business men of that place have
been complaining TO Superintendent
Thomas of the matter, but he is uu-
able to remedy it, as that is only done
by the Postoffice department. The
Gulf Shore company contracted with
the government, when Sutherland
Springs was the terminus, to take all
the mail to that place and it was con-
veyed by the carrier, with whom the
government also has contract, on to
its destination.
Now that the road is completed to
Stockdale the mail is still conveyed as
formerly. Superintendent Thomas,
of the road addressed a letter to Su-
perintendent Teachout, of the Railway
Mail service anent the matter and re-
ceived a reply yesterday saying that
he would give the matter his attention
but that could do nothing until he re-
ceived orders from the Postoffice de-
partment officials at Washington.
In the meantime while this cores
pondence is in progress the Stockdale
citizens continue to receive their mail
long after the train has returned TO
this city, when if the train carried it
through they would receive it before
noon.

yesterday and created some little con-

minutes.
The animal was being bro&en into
the harness by colored man named
Thomas, in the yard, when it suddenly
became frightened and ran toward the
back door of the saloon. Upon reach
ing the door the animal did not stop,
but jumped into the door, completely
clearing a card table at which several
men were engaged in playing a game
of 'High Five" with the exception
that his hind feet struck Mr.. Hala-

The animal then ran out of the front

This, however, was all the damage
done.

EFFORTS IN DREYFUs's BEHALF.
Attempts to Influence the Pope and
Royalty.

LONDON. Dec. 5-A new Sunday news
paper, the Sunday Special, this morning
publishes a dispatch from Paris which
gives what is alleged to be the story of
the promotion of the defense of Dreyfus.
According to this story, a Frenchman
named Vignaud left Paris year ago for
Madrid whittier he went to endeavor to
secure the influence of the Queen Regent
in favor of Dreyfus Vignaud was intro
duced at court by the American minister
as a professor of billiards and met the
young King, who, with the influence of
an Austrian archduchesS who was staying
at the court and who favored Dreyfus, were
persuaded to write to the Pope asking his
Holiness to use his influence to obtain the
condemned mans release. The archduchess,
the story goes on to say, then returned to
Vienna and made it the center of Drey
fusian intrigues until the movement was
suddenly stopped by Emperor Frances
Joseph, who learned that Compile Ester
hazy was involved
The ex-Queen of Servia and Princess Wal
demar of Denmark gave valuable assistance
in the agitation. The latter talked regard
Ing the matter with the Gar, who re-
marked that the prisoners guilt should be
absolutely clear where the crime charged
was so objectionable. Emperor Nicholas
sconversed with President Faure, of France,
on the subject at the time of their meet
ing in ST. Petersburg, and the President de-
clared that whatever might be his personal
wish, public opinion was the other side.
The influence brought to bear on the Pope
did not result in any utterance on the part
of his Holiness, but it is known that Car
dinal Rampolla, papal secretary OF state,
intimated that certain of the cardinals. in.
Guiding Cardinal Vaughn and the pontin,
felt an immense amount of sympathy in
the matter and were intensely anxious that
all anti-Semitic prejudice should be kept

to the Pope, pleading with him for assist

NO EXPERT TESTIM ONY.
Defense i'm the Luetgert Case Will
Lose Important Witnesses.

CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-The defense in the
Luegert case is likely to be greatly hamp-
cred in the matter of expert testimony. 1t
came to light during the proceedings to-day
that Prof. John H. Long, of the Northwest
ern University, has practically refused to
have any connection with the present trial.
Professor Long one of the prominent
experts in the former trial and did more
work in the case than any other expert,
with the possible exception of DR.. REESE
For his services in the former trial Profess
sor Long was paid $780, In his researches
he spent much more than this sum. Ac-
cording to the attorneys for the defense,
there is no money available to recompense
him for any further services. In addition
to this, during the major portion OF the
former hearing it was vacation time in col
lege and Professor Long had time to devote
to scientific investigation. Owing to his
college duties now he does not feel that he
would be warranted it is said, in neglecting
work for which he is paid in the interest OF
other persons.

The woman who, Count Esterhazy says,
gave him a photograph of an important
document, which, according to her state
ment. conclusively proves the guilt Of Capt.
Dreyfus, is said to be the so-called Baron
ess De Kurth. She is a pretty and singu-
larry captivating French adventures of
much cleverness, who, during her two
years stay in Egypt few years ago, was
successful in securing the acquaintance not
only of the French minister at Cairo. the
Marquis De Reverseux. but also of Tigarne
Pasha, the Egyption foreign minister and
even of the impressionable young Khedive
| himself, who sent her back to Paris in order
to intrigue in his behalf.
No one knows the origin of her title al
though it is generally believed that there
has been a Baron De Kurth. who is the
father of her two children. But, in any
case, he has never been seen. She lives in
Paris, no one knows exactly how, in lux
urious apartments in the Rue de Ia Ire
noble, and her salons are frequented by
newspaper men, amateur diplomats a
Sprinkling of legislators and by certain
members of the French military and civil
service. who are possessed of more SuScept-
Utility to the charms Of the fair sex than
common sense. She has influential friends
in the French government thanks to whom
she is not disturbed by the police. 1t may
be added that she is tall, blonde. and pos
sessed Of beautiful eyes. Her means Of
livelihood are mysterious and. while some
believe she is the agent of a foreign gov
eminent there are others who declare that
she derives her means of existence from the
knowledge of compromising secrets of
prominent men; secrets which she makes
it her one object in life to ferret out.
She has taken the questionable place in
Partisan life of that equally mysterious ad-

wife of the eminent French general, Jung,
and who brought about the fall of old Cen
eral De Cissey the minister of war during

was accustomed to have the contents of
De Cissey's portfolio surreptitiously copied
for transmission to Berlin, while he was
engaged in lunching with her every Thurs
day-sust after leaving the Cabinet council
at the Elysee. She managed to escape from
France in time to save herself from the le-
gal consequences of this treachery, and if
she has returned to France it is under an
