PARIS, by Cable).-The Court Oh
Cessation has decided to grant a reVls-
on of the Dreyfus case, and institute a
supplementary inquiry. The court
however, has declined to order the re-
lease of Dreyfus. The judges OF the
court were occupied three hours and a
half in considering the judgement. The
public, whose admission to the court
was regulated with the greatest care,
awaited the decision with marked calm
ness. During the suspension of busl-
ness the public crowded into the lob
bies and there was evident anxiety to
hear the verdict. There was no de-
monstraton when the court rose.

Color. blindness and Street Cars.

"Color- blindness is more common
than folks suppose" said car-starter
on Canal street, "and we fellows have
a first-rate chance to find it out. It's
a common thing for me to tell man
to take a green car and then see him
stand stock still and let it go by. He
will swear it was blue. The same
thing happens with the yellow cars,
which look pink to lots of people. A
good many of them don't know that
there is anything wrong with their
sight, and think that the trouble is
with the other fellow. Why, l had a
man advise me not long ago to see a
physician, and warned me in conf
dence that I would get fired if the
company found out my condition. It's
no use putting up an argument IN a
case like that, so I thanked him and
told him I uld."-New Orleans
