Sensation of Paris.

Paris, Nov. l9.--The allegation that
Dreyfus, former captain of French ar
tillery, was falsely tried and convicted by
court martial for selling French military
plans to agents of foreign governments,
continues to be discussed throughout
France. 1t is claimed the documents
Dreyfus was charged with selling to
Germany were never really sold to agents
of that country, but were prepared in i'm
itation of Dreyfus handwriting to black
mail him. his wife being wealthy wo-
man. and he himself in good circum-
stances. The plot, it would further seem,
was conceived in '93. when wave Of He

Major Esterhaay's Position.

World from Paris says:
Paris is in condition of excitement
over the Dreyfus mystery and even II til,
authorities had any notion Of smother

possible. Public opinion demands instant
action of some kind, and it is expected
that the ministry will be compelled Il

Major Esterhazy's story Of how he re

to implicate him has excited suspicion
against him instead of allaying it, Hi
statement that he can give no clue what

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates an un

proof that the kidneys and bladder are

The bogus check operator was

forged checks for the respective
amounts of SO. 60 and 81 10. The checks
were drawn on the Second National
bank. and bore the forged signature
of c. Hopkins, as manager of the
Standard Laundry company. Both
checks were made payable to Herman
Craig, and were cashed by the dealers
without question. They were present
ed in each instance, it is thought, by
the same individual, though differ
ence of description leads to the belief
that the forger is an adept at the bust
ness. and disguised himself after his
first successful venture. The writing

Senator Miller and Representative
Bigelow, who introduced in the senate
and house respectively last week a
bill to raise the taxation of all insur-
ance companies doing business in the
state from 2 per cent of the premiums
received to per cent Of the premiums
received, have each on their desk a
tabulated statement, of which a copy
is herewith produced 1t gives the total
Of the insurance business done in the
state for fourteen years, from 1882 to
1895, inclusive. On these figures these
gentlemen will urge the passage of the
bill to double the taxes of insurance
companies. The idea Of this move
originated in one Of the state depart
ments, where it is thought that the fact
that the insurance companies have in
the fourteen years mentioned, received
about $37 100000 over their losses and
have paid less than 81, 100000 taxes is
proof of the fact that the state is not
getting as much revenue from this
source as it should. The state now re-
