Athletic Sports Indnlged In to q nea-


Many of the athletic sports, IL pur-
sued for sport or rs recreation, ara
valuable remedial helps and aid to-
ward physical improvement, says the
North American Review. Unfortunatc-
IL, the spirit of emulation in athletics,
which in some communities has grown
into intense rivalry, is likely TO lead to
excesses in training and practice for
contests, which unless checked and
brought down to IA rational basis may
do more harm than good. Many young
men seem TO think that because the
practice of athletics is favorable TO
health the more they can get OF this
practice the better. This is On err
rcneous impression, for it is as possible
TO overwork in athletics as 1t il IN busi-
ness and great many young people do
themselves injury by their excessive
zeal in the practice of competitive ex-
crcise.

few persons who were sound at the time
of commencing their athletic efforts
have injured themselves by the prac-

true that n certain number of young
men who We're distinguished for their
supremacy in certain athletic events
have died young. But the number of
young men who are now practicing
athletic exercises in this country and
appearing in public contests is very
large, as many as 600 or 700 entries be-

CHAIN OF HUMAN BONES.
Made I'm Libby Prison by Member
of q New York Regiment.

Made I'm Libby Prison by MEMBER
of q New York Regiment.
Cyrus o. Thornton, a farmer living a
few miles out of Bolivar, Mass, has
an odd watch chain 1t is made of hui
man bones. The chain consists of eight
links, each trife more than an inch
long, connected with plated rings. The
chain is about ten inches long and has
been highly polished by. years OF wear
and glistens like ivory, says the Fall
River News.
Thornton secured the chain at Peters,
burg, Va, In 1864. He was u member
of company ,E, F1ftieth New York en-
gineers. A member of the Twenty
first New York infantry made two
chains while confined In Libby prison,
and ON his release met Thornton and
sold him one chain for $50 In green
backs. Thornton has forgotten the
makers name. The bones were taken
from amputated arms and legs, and IL
required IS months time to carve out
the chains, For many, years after he
came home from the war Thornton
wore the chain every day, but for sew
eral years he has worn 1t only on Me-
mortal day and at grand army reunions.
Some of his 1eighbors laughed at the
idea of the bones being taken from hui
man bodies, and he sent the chain to q
surgeon, who examined IL and pro-
nounced 1t to be of human bones.

on all topics were so CHEEKY and hope

tiresome to the listening newspaper

coming as they did from q woman to
whom marriage had brought poverty
and uneeasing labor for an invalid hus-
band, were refreshing, and had the
ring of q true heart.

THE CASE OF CAPTAIN DREYFUs.
yice-President of French Senate In
sists That Prisoner Is Innocent.

PARIS. November I'm. Scheurer-

the Senate, who has been agitating for
a reopening Of the case of Alfred Drey-
fus, the former captain of artillery now
undergoing a sentence of life imprison-
ment for selling important French mill
tary plans to agents Of a foreign Power,
has written a letter to the newspapers,
I'm which he asserts that on October Both
he presented TO the French Minister for
War, General Billo, statements proving
the prisoner innocent
NJ Scheurer-K estner states that the
Minister promised TO make an investiga-
ton into the matter, and also undertook
10 communicate to Mr.. Scheurer-Kestner
the result within a fortnight pledging
the latter TO silence In the mean while.
Continuing, Mr.. Scheurer-Kestner ex-
plains that this is the reason of his mis-
understood silence, but as the fortnight
has elapsed without the Minister Of
Wars communicating with him. he now
repeats, without fear OF being contra
dicted, that he showed the Minister docu-
ments which easily establish the cul-
pability of another than Dreyfus.
The matter was much discussed in the
Hobbies Of the Senate to-day, and 1t is
stated that the Cabinet will discuss the
situation tomorrow, and issue pro-
nouncemept on the subject.

ALIEN sTAvE-CUTTERs ARRESTED.
Austrinns Illegally brought Into
This Country Under Contract.

WASHINGTON, November 15.-Com-
missioner General Powderly, Of the I'm
migration Bureau, to-day received
telegram from Special-Inspector Bald
win at Memphis. Tenn, stating that he
has arrested twenty-eight alien stave-
cutters. Illegally brought into this coun-
try under contract, and would go to Mis-
sissippl tonight to arrest the remain
ing twenty-five.
II Is stated at the immigration Bureau
that fifty Austrian immigrants arrived
I'm Baltimore on the North German
steamship Roland, ON September 9th last,
and were taken to Mississippi to work
In the stave camps. When the party ar
rived in Baltimore they were suspected
of being under contract, but the evil
dence submitted was deemed insufficient
to warrant their detention. Subsequent
lv. however, Commissioner-Genera Pow
derby sent special agents into the camps,
who secured sufficiently conclusive tes-
timony to justify their arrest and war
rants for the whole party were signed by
Secretary Gage and placed in the hands
OF Inspector Baldwin and three others
last Friday
AS soon as the men are arrested they
will be deported at the expense or the
steamship company bringing them over
I'D to this time the evidence against the
contracting firm. who brought the Aus
trlans into this country is not deemed
sufficient 10 justify criminal proceedings,
but the officials are said to be still at
work on this feature of the case.
