Paris Correspondence of the Philadelphia.
Ledger.
The Dreyfus case has once more become
the subject of public comment, for the
news has been received to-day in Paris
that M. Artaud, chief magistrate in
French Guiana. Is about 10 visit the I'M
fortunate ex-captain of artillery in the
Isle de Dable, where he has remained
strongly guarded ever since his transport
tation to the colony after the terrible scene
of his military degradation in the court
yard of the Ecole Militare. IL seems
that M. Artaud Ia making this visit Is
acting In accordance with special instruc-
tons sent out by the government at home,
and there Is, consequently, no little epee-
ulation as to the meaning of the visit and
the consequences which may arise there
from. Notwithstanding his repeated dec
larations that within a year or two his
innocence would be established, Alfred
Dreyfus Ia to-day apparently no nearer
the rehabilitation of his good name than
when the decision of the secret tribunal
which condemned him was first made
public. Indeed, it would seem as though
the precautions which were taken by the
authorities TO guard against his escape
have lately been redoubled.
The prisoner himself, as the hopelessness
OF mis- position is made more and more
manifest, has become an utter mental
and physical wreck. / understand that
unless some change is made in his sur
roundings, his death is only a matter of
months. Careful arrangements, indeed
have been made In view of this contin-
gency, in order that there may be no ques-
ton of his Identity. AS soon as he has
bid final farewell to that life which must
be an inexpressible burden to him, his
body is to be photographed, embalmed ana
brought back to Paris. At present DETAIL
ed reports Of his health and so forth are
cabled to the home government at fire.

alone, both from and to the Isle de Dia-
BILE amounting TO nearly $1,000 a month
In addition to this. a steamer has recently
been purchased which will make FREQUENT
cruises around the island, so as to keen
careful watch to prevent any attempt
at rescue. All these precautions DEM
onstrate the Importance that is attached
by the authorities to the prevention of
any communication taking place between
Dreyfus and the outside world, and would
seem to point TO the fact that he has nor
yet divulged all the secrets i'm his possess
sion and that their value to the enemies
Of the government must still be undimin-
ished by the lapse of time.

the race betwee Robert ]. and John r.
Gentry, and also to see the pair attempt
to lower the double team pacing record.
The track was smooth, the day perfect,

The Ethics of Suicide.
FROM the Chicago Chronicle

From the Chicago Chronicle.
The great increase in the number of
suicides throughout the country justifies
to some extent the sneer Of older eiviliza-
lions that we are a nation Of emotional
lists rather than Of reasoners. II used to
be said that a Germans idea of revenge
was TO kill himself rather than TO kill
his enemy. We have advanced even from
that idea We Kill ourselves to spite fate.
Any misfortune, from the loss Of wealth
to a cold In the head. is deemed justifica-
ton for self-murder There may be some
climatic influence which Is partly respon-
sible for the epidemic, but whatever the
cause, the results are startlingly apparent
Let us hope that we are not degenerating
into that morbid condition which, during
the second empire in France, inspired the
sending out Of invitations TO banquets 10
