A DANIEL COMES TO JUDGMENT
And How MaIindy Found Her Mas
ter.
BY Agnes Warner McClelfand.

The pathetic little procession had wound
its way down the dusty road. and over the
brow of the Hill. leaving in the sunshine
of the valley the well filled acres, the
spreading orchard. and the pleasant old
farmhouse. that had meant much to the
heart of Martin Ramsey. but to which he
would never more return.
Law me" wheezed Mrs. Tinker, wip-
ing a furtive tear upon the corner of her
black silk apron so that's the last OF
poor Martin. Wen, he has seen sights of
trouble in his day Malindy and Belndy
has acted as contrary as two females ever
did, an Martin stood up under EN- spleu-
did. Pears to me. them girls take il

she amt one to show ii; as for Malindy
she's that cranky she wouldn't feel bad

Seems to me, remarked her mother,
thoughtfully, that Brother Rice didn't
have no cali to be so comfOrtin an conso.-
In. Them girls amt no spring chickens
they're 81 come next May, same age as

WILD RUMORs IN PARIS.
One Circulating There That Cnpt.
Dreyfus Is Dead.

DreYfuS is Dead
Paris, Sept. 2-The Dreyfus case pre-
sents no new feature. but there is a plen-
tiful supply Of rumors.
The first of these is that Dreyfus Is
dead, no letter having been received from
him for some weeks.
Another report is that Gen. Boisdeffre
who has just resigned the post of chief
of the general staff. has committed sui
eide
Both these rumors are undoubtedly with
out foundation.
Col. Patty du Clam is on vacation trip
ton of the statement of La Patrie that he
had been arrested for completely in the
Henry forgery.
Gen. Gonse. underchief of the general
staff who rendered his resignation yes
terday to NJ. Cavaignac. minister of war
has been persuaded 10 withdraw it as his
retirement under the age limit viii occur
next month
The lull in news however, has in no
way diminished the popular excitement.
Speculation is keenest over the motives
l. OAs
The traditions of the Intelligence depart
ment, which, at the time of the condem-
nation of Dreyfus, was under a conspic-
uous anti-5emite, Col. Sandherr would
probably have led a blunt mind ike Lieut.
Col. Henry's to construe the slightest hint
from above of the desirability of killing
off the anti-Dreyfus agitation into an or
der to do so by any means.
Col Sandherr who was then suffering
from incipient paralysis, seems to have
been the head of a general conspiracy
to haunt Jewish officers out Of the French
army.
The carelessness of the authorities in
allowing Henry to have a razor and in
not watching him, is generally interpret
ed as connivance. Had Henry been ex-
pened from the army, both himself and
wife would have LOST all pension rights.
AS 1t is the widow becomes entitled to a
handsome pension
The governments position is most un-
happy Notice of interpretations in the
Chamber of Deputies multiply.
President Faure is censured for leaving
Paris at such a critical moment.
Great efforts are being made to get the
signatures of a majority of the deputies,
which is q necessary preliminary to a
convocation of the chamber.
The movement in favor of a revision in
the Dreyfus case is growing by leaps and
bounds Considering recent events, Maj.
Comte Walsin Esterhazy retains an amaz-
ingly cool attitude
In the course of an interview yesterday
he said I7enrys death was regretable ''be-
cause doubtless, he had other revelations
to make"
Comte Esterhazy intends to appeal
against his enforced retirement from act
i've service in the army.

Washington, Sept. 1.-surgeon General
Sternberg is in receipt of a letter from
Maj Blair D. Taylor surgeon in command
Of the general hospital at Fort MCPHERSON,

to certain charges published in Southern
papers relative to the conduct of the hos
pital and the treatment of the sick there.
In the course of the letter Maj. Taylor
says: "Have spent this month for milk at
The rate of $500 a month; have as much
ice as can possibly be used, not only for
drinking purposes, but for cracked ice and
iced caps. Have special diet kitchens in

a special baker for the bread. Have now
seventy-one trained female nurses, but
need more on account of sickness of some
of them; have over q hundred hospital
corps men and have hired numerous la
borers in mess han and in tents, with
scrub women for the wards.
MY trained female nurses are very in
dignant at this Misrepresentation. Every
one is working to his or her fullest capac-
ity to care for the sick The only thing

BIDS WERE NOT BONA FIDE.
FRAUD FOUND IN SUBSCRIPTIONS TO
THE GOVERNMENT BONDS.

Systematic scheme Operated to
Secure Control of the Issuc-N1iI-

York Didders--SOIicitor Mcconnell
Declares Their Were Many FrRd-
uIent BIds-His Report withheld
From PubIicn ThOus-
and Subscribers We're Examined.
Investigation the Outcome of Bid
dcrs' Complaints.
Washington Sept. IA wide investiga-
ton of suspicious bids under the last call
for subscriptions to government bonds has
been completed by solicitor OConnell of
the treasury department and to-day he
submitted 10 Secretary Gage the mass Of
testimony on The transactions.
Several thousand subscribers were ex-
am,ned The facts developed show a sys-
tematic scheme operated by single par
ties TO secure a large amount of the bonds
The investigation was the outcome OF
complaints of wrongful dealing on the
part of many bidders.
Secretary Gage promptly Instituted the
Investigation and Solicitor O'Connen to-
day, after submitting his report, held a
conference foT two hours with the secre-
tary on the developments.
The report indicates that millions Of
dollars in bonds were acquired by irreg-
ular means and that a number of New
York bidders are involved in the case.
Many of the bidders, st is stated are
hired to sign, and The system was carried
so far, the report goes to show, that vir-
tual agents were employed who were paid
so much per subscriber, the last named
merely signing his name and giving the
bid with his signature to the agent or di-
rectly to the party seeking control of a
large amount Of bids.
The report and the exact facts are with
held from publication at this time for pru-
dental reasons, hut solicitor O'Connell
said to-day: There Is large amount of
fraudulent bids" 1t is said a further in
vesHgation Is 10 be made and that the
facts developed VIII be followed by action
by the secretary.
Secretary Gage said tonight that the In
vesugatlon showed that a large amount
OF bids offered were NOT bona fide but that
in none Of the cases involved in the inves-
tigation had the bonds been issued to the
bidders He said he had no doubt how
ever, that in some instances as yet undis-
covered bonds bid for in a similar manner
and unknowingly to the department, haC
been issued.
