past grand councillor. He asks the men,
bers 10 advance the order and adds:
Our order may be safely recommended as
superior TO ALL but our members must be
taught that the welfare of the order is the
concern of each mem ber that fraternity is
not an idle term, and that their duty does not
end with the payment of assessments. They
should be required to attend council meetings
regularly, so that they may learn and practice
its principles, and prosperity will follow there
from.
In conclusion, after paying compli-
ment to the deputies and others for their
assistance during the year, he says:
The generous assistance and the uniform
kindness OF the members of the order have
been to me great encouragement in the
prosecution OF my work. The bu rdens of nv

MARRIOTT WON HIS POINT

Delay Till Mon

Payment of Fees to Jurors Insisted
On by the Court in Order to
Secure a Continuance.

When the case of Frederick Marriott.
charged with libel, was called by Judge
Daneerfeld yesterday Attorney Ben c.
Darwin arose and asked for continuance
until next Monday morning. Mr.. Darwin
stated that lie had been associated with
s. M. Shortridee in the defense and that
he had not been given proper oppor-
tunity 10 prepare; that his client had
been absent from the City for a long time
ana had not comm unioated with his at
torneys while away from home; that Mr..
Shortridge, the leading counsel in the
case, was actually engaged in trial in
another court.
Judge Daingerfield showed no sign of
acQuiescing with the request, and the de-
fendant was called to the witness-stand.
Mr.. Marriott was sworn and testified
that he had been absent from the City for
six weeks, and while he was away from
home he heard nothing of his case. Be-
fore he left, he said, District Attorney
Barnes assured him that the case would
not be pressed until ne returned; that
after he got back the case would be called
and set for trial.
District Attorney Barnes was sent for
and was asked about the agreement with
Mr., Marriott. He said he would not dis
pute the statement made by M. Marriott,
but he did not reme m ber the conversation
referred to. He had several talks with
Mr.. Marriott and knew that he intended
TO go East. So far as he was concerned
there was no objection to continuing the
case for q week.
After more argument and agree ment
Judge Daingerfield said there was an ele-
ment in this case that both sides over.
looked. He insisted that somebody ought
to pay the jurors lees; that the City
ought not to be put 20 this expense for
nothing.
Attorney Beatty of Mr.. Shortridge's e's
office argued that this was one of the mis-
fortunes of the law the defendant in a case
of this character could not be asked to pay
jurors fees.
Judge Daingerfeld insisted that the City
treasury must be REIN bursed for the loss
of fees. He said that $3.50 bad gone ND in

piished. Besides the time of the court in

A HINT TO THE WISE,
The Annexationists Have Abandoned Their
Mcctings-Blancos Reception.

HAVANA, via Key West, Nov. 9.-The
anneXationists have received through
the columns of newspaper of this
city hint that it will be well to aban-
don their meetings. The article in
question conveyed the intimation that
the club was to be proceeded against
as a gambling institution, under which
pretext it would be possible to cause
its members Il great deal of trouble
without going to the length of accus.
ing them of conspiracy. These meet
lngs have, therefore, been dscon-
tinued.
Gen. Blanco's formal reception at
the palace a week ago was a very
chilly affair. Outside of the officials
and representatives of commercial
bodies who attended, there were on ly
about 30 people present. Gen. Bianco
is said to be in poor health, to be con-
stantly in need of medical attention,
and therefore not likely to be able to
endure the hardships Of an energetic
campaign against the insurgents.
Personally, Marshal Blanco is well
liked by the members of all parties,
including the conservatives, who, ow-
ing to their wealth., generally succeed
in swaying the masses of the people in
Cuba. The autonomists and the con-
servatives are far from being hand in
glove, and no matter what faction the
new captain general favors he is pretty
sure to have the hostility of the other.

FOLLY'S VICTIMS,
supersensitve Frenchman Murders Ills
Family and Suicides.

PARIS, Nov. "a man named Drey-
ius, who is believed to be cousin of
Capt Dreyfus, the deported artillery
officer, imprisoned on an island off
the coast of French Guiana, his wife,
formerly the Countess Ohecurty, and
their three daughters, respectively IS,
IL and years of age, were found
yesterday morning dead at their resi-
dence in Mareceu.
The porter of the house found their
bodies lying on the floor in the bed
room of the youngest child.
Dreyfus left letter for the commits
sioner of police of that district, inclos-
ing 400 francs with which to defray the
expenses of the funeral of the family.
Dreyfus left long letter to the
Temps and others to his financial part
ner, NJ. Dikof, and to his mother-in-
law In the letter addressed to the
Temps he argues that suicide is iusti-
fable, urges that those dissatisfied
with life would do well to follow his
example, and says:
ut is better for the children TO die
with their parents, rs their mother has
also elected to commit suicide"
lie refers, without mentioning any
names, to "a man responsible for my
ruin,' but all the letters treat the rea-
sons for the suicide evasively. NJ.
Dikof asserts that the deceased was in
comfortable circumstances, and had
property with an annual income of
about 81, 500,
Dil1of's theory is that the tragedy re-
suited from excess of melancholy. lie
says he has heard Dreyfus allude APP
provingly to some recent suicides.
The apartments occupied by the de-
ceased family are richly furnished. In
the dining room the police found the
remnants of an ample repast.
In addition to carrying on his busi-
ness in tea, coffee and dried fruit, NJ.
Dreyfus had speculated good deal on
the boursc. lie often complained to
NJ. Dil1of about his losses, and the lat
ter says that he often demonstrated
with Dreyfus against indulging his
dependency. The method of suicide
was by charcoal fumes.

with mahogany or fine cedar sawdust,
which is kept in stock by furriers, and
of which enough to clean dozen gar

sum. Place the garment fiat on a bare

sawdust and rub it thoroughly into the

of both. When the garment has oeen
