His COurt-MartiaI Ordered Delayed by
the Court of Cessation.
PARIS, Dec. S-The Court Of Cessation
this afternoon ordered stay of proceedings
in the Picquart court-martial.

over the decision of the court, which the.'

LONDON, Dec. 9.--The Paris correspond
ent of the Times says: 1.-THE secret dossier
certainly proves a reasonable traffic in doc
uments on the part of officers of the general
staff having access thereto, but no names
are indicated and there is absolutely moth
ing to prove or disprove that Dreyfus was
connected with the traffic. No doubt the
dossier cannot be revealed to the public, be-
cause it contains reports emanating from
certain agents at certain places which it
would be dangerous to divulge

the dynamite guns proved ineffective, be-
cause they lacked distance apparatus. He
praised General Skaters treatment of the
foreign officers who accompanied his staff.
The United States regulars were character
ized by the lecturer as "a most excellent
body, though small" and their uniforms as
practical" A portion Of the lecture was
devoted to a description Of the extreme diff
Guilty with which both the American and
Spanish troops were provisloned.
Count Won Goetzen prophesied a great
future for the new American colonies, be-
cause, he said, 1.-The Americans are prime
colonsts." The lecture was frequently ap-

ADenth verdlct Critlcised.

LONDON, Dec. S.-Considerable public
feeling has been aroused over the case of
Lieutenant Wark, Of the Royal Artillery,
who was to-day sentenced to death on
charge of numbering Jane Yates, a girl Of
good family, by conspiring with her to pro-
cure an abortion. The evidence tended to
show that the girl was solely responsible.
She made a statement before she died ex-
onerating Wark, who declares that he did
all he could to dissuade her from any il
legal act. There was a dramatic scene at
the close of the trial. when he protested his
innocence. The newspapers insist that, even
if the verdict be legal, it is impossible that
the sentence should be carried out.

Pretended Death and Fraud.
LONDON, Dec. S.-The johannesburg cor
respondent of the Mail telegraphs "a re-
markable story was told to-day during the
hearing cf a charge of fraud against Charles
Gum. A statement was put in by the pris-
oner in which he declared that he was the
brother of the late Duke of Hamilton and
left England after fighting duel. For pri-
vate reasons his death was formally an
nounced and a sham funeral took place
Gum asserts that Robinson, of Rotherwell-
haugh, filled a coffin which was sent to
Hamilton palace and placed in the mauso-
leum and says if the coffin is opened and
examined his statement can be verified
The late Duke of Hamilton died May G.
1895, leaving no son and was succeeded by
his kinsman, Alfred Douglass Hamilton
The late dukes only brother was Charles
George Archibald. 1t is recorded in Burke's
peerage that Charles was born May IS, 1S47,
and died childless in May, 1886. If Charles
can prove that he is alive he may get
the dukedom and vast wealth.

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. W. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
DEAR Mrs. P1SKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
"After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. I had leucorrhea badly, and q
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
"Itook medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. I was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when I read your advertisement in a
paper. I sent at once for a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle felt so much better that
send for two more. After using three
bottles I felt as strong and well as any
one.
81 think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady I meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is a wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice OF Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham'a
