The suicide, in his prison, of Lieu
tenant Colonel Henry is the latest act
performed in the drama of the Dreytus
case, and everything seems to indicate
that the fifth and last act will end, as
in classical tragedies, by virtue being
rewarded and crime punished. That
is to say, arevision of the secret ana
illegal trial of Captain Dreyfus will be
granted. This is all that is wanted by
universal conscience, for the question
of the guilt or innocence of the prisons
er of Devils Island is secondary one
when .ontrasted with that of the SUI
preme right of any man in a civilized
nation to be judged not within closed
doors, and not without being shown
the documents which have led to his
Indictment, sentence and degradation:
1t is this aspect of the Dreyfus ques-
ton which has made it subject OF IN

For the last two years tremendous
fight has been kept on in France in

A woman,s Matrimonial Ventures,

Mrs. Augustus Thistlew ood, of Prov.
dence, R. l., has been married six
times. At her last wedding four Of
her former husbands were present and
acted as ushers. The fifth sent his
regrets and present, and an invita-.
ton to the bride and groom to spend
the honeymoon in his house. The
average term of seryitude for these
husbands was ten months; oil the di-
vorces were granted upon the applica-
ton of the lady without opposition.
The dissolution of matrimonial ties
has been due to the tact and diplo-
macy of the lady, who convinced her
several spouses that they were mis-
mated.

s!waste-basket of the German Ambassa-
dor at Paris by servant, who acted
as spy in the interest of the French
Intelligence Bureau. At least such
was the explanation given at Drey-
fuss trial, though it is more than
strange that documents of such i'm
portance should be carelessly thrown
by diplomat in his waste-basket. AS
to this document, it was asserted by
the accused captain that it was not in
the handwriting of Dreyfus. On the
other hand, some papers circulated
story according to which the captain,
having been summoned to the General
Staff and required to write few lines
dictated from the "bordereau," threw
himself at the feet of Colonel Du Patty
de Clam, and admitted that it was he
who wrote the treacherous document.
Since then it has been discovered that
the real author was probably Com
mandant Esterhazy, who was twice
acquitted by two courts-martial, but
who is reported in the latest de-
:spatches from Paris to have disap-
;peared as soon as it was stated that
the Government had decided to grant
q revision of the trial of 1894.
The trial resulted, as is well known,
in q sentence condemning Dreyfus to

where troops were assembled to wit
ness the painful ceremony of the de-
graduation. The insignia of his rank
as captain, tho badges of his profess
sion, were torn from his coat and cap;
even the stripes were torn from his
trousers by the adjutant, and his
sword was broken. He was then led
along the front of the troops; and dur
ing this awful funeral march he did
not cease to cry that he was innocent.

publication in L'Eclair which began
to open the eyes of the unpreiudiced
Frenchmen to the matter, and which
caused the opening of the campaign in
favor of the revision.
At that time Captain Dreyfus had
already been confined for nearly two
years in his awful prison of DEVILS
Island-the worst spot on the coast OF
French Guiana, nearly opposite the
city of which was denomi-
mated, together with its neighbor
Sinndendria, the "dry guillotine, "
when it was chosen as place of de-
portation for the Terrorists and anti
Imperialists sentenced by the Di-
rectory and by Napoleon I. But it
appears, according to the latest de-
spatchcs, that Dreyfus, whose death
was often reported, is thoroughly &c
clmated, and physically in good
health. He will be able, therefore, to
answer any charges which may be
brought against him, and to discuss
tho value Of the real or the forged
documents which were not eommnpi-

Nine. Dreyfus is still beautiful
woman Notwithstanding the trying
time she has passed through and the
great grief she has felt. The sympa-
thy of the world is hers. Newspapers
and people who formerly proclaimed
that Dreyfus was guilty, and that his
partisans, called the Dreyfusists,
wanted to surrender France to the
practical domination of Germany and
the German Jew fnanoiers, have given
up that criminal and stupid theory.
They are clamoring now for q prompt

who practically hypnotized the nation,
to which they represented themselves
as the immaculate chiefs of the army,
upon which the French confidently re-
lied for obtaining the recovery of the
two lost provinces, Alsace and Lor-
faine. But the suicide of Lieutenant
Colonel Henry, the factotum of the
General staff, and his avowal that he
had forged one of the secret docu-
ments used against Dreyfus, have
opened the eyes of the French people.
Thus it has suddenly been shown
that not only had the captain been
condemned without being allowed to
see and discuss the documents which
Influenced the opinion of his judges,
but that one of these documents, at
least, was forgery, confessed by the
forger himself. The first illegality
