JUSTICE DOESN'T COUNT.
Revision of the Dreyfus Case In France
Seems to Hinge Upon the Expedi-
ency Rather Than Justice.

Paris, Sept. 14.-The Rappel and the
Matin says at Mondays cabinet coun.
Gil the minister for war, Gen. Zurlin-
den, explained his reasons for oppos-
ing a revision of the Dreyfus case.
The premier, M. Brisson, and the min
lister of education, NJ. Bourgeois, these
papers add, urged Gen. Zurlinden to
change his determination, but Presi-
dent Faure sided with the minister for
war. An excited discussion followed.
and the council was adjourned until
the afternoon, when calmness was re-
stored. M. Bourgeois then pointed
out the consequences of the crisis, and
further discussion of the matter was
adjourned until Saturday next.
The newspapers here are unanimous
in the opinion that the situation is Sc
rious. They say that temporizing will
only delay the decision, which, if IA
vorable to a revision of the case, will
cause the resignation of Gen. Zurlin-
den, and which, if hostile, will lead to
a withdrawal from the cabinet of NJ.
Brisson, and result in a general crisis.

FUNNY THING IN SPELLING
Learning to Manipulate Typewriter
Gets q Man Into q Queer
Habit.

A Cleveland man has set about learning
the use of the typewriter. Up to the present
time he has had somebody to do his typewrit-
ing for him, but now he wants to know how
to run it all by himself. He admits that he
isn't an apt scholar. 1t comes slowly. The
letters are hard to find and the spacing is so
easily forgotten. But there is one thing that
amuses him. He is learning 10 spell and
learning in the same way he did when tow
headed boy in the early Cos. OF course he
could spell when he tackled the typewriter,
but not in the same way. Now he distinctly
enumerates each letter, and does it, too, with
the greatest care. 1t is a funny thing, but he
finds himself spelling out the words in the
newspaper and his wife says he spells them
in his sleep.
The other day the minister met him and
asked him how he was.
VERY WE'LL" he gravely spelled out,
and when the pastor looked amazed he real
lied what he had done and hastily explained
the cause of the popularity. And the minis.
ter professed to be greatly interested and
wanted to know all about it and the speler is
now greatly worried for fear the parson will
write special paper on it for some maya
zine.
When the minister finally left him he
shook hands and said 'Good-by"
Good" began the speller and then rec
objected himself and hastily added "by."
He hopes in time to wear out this peculiar
ity, and when he increases his speed on the
typewriter he no doubt wil.-Cleveland

New Mother-in-Law story.

A Cleveland man who went east to spend
his vacation brought home with him what he
thinks is a new mother-in-law story. Moth
er-in-law stories are drug on the market,
but this one seems to DE little less Iruggy
than usual. A man and his wife went to
Europe and the mans mother-in-law went
along. Up to this point there is no novelty
in the story. On the voyage the mother-in-
law fell i'll and died. Of course she had to be
was made, but instead of an iron weight to
sink the body they used big bag of coal. In
commenting on the arrangements afterward
the bereaved son-in-law, who suffered bad

mother-in-law was g-going, but b-b-blame me

RESIGNATION OF GEN. GOMEZ.
Tho Old Cuban War Horse Said to Have he
como Disgruntied and Thrown
Up His job.

Santiago de Cupa, Sept. 14.-An un-
contradicted report was received by
Gen. Lawton, Monday night, that Gen.
Maxine Gomez, the insurgent COM
mander-in-chief, has rendered his res
jgnation of the command of the Cuban
army to the Cuban government at
Camaguey, and that it has been ac-
cepted. Gomez, it appears, has been
protesting against the Cuban govern
ment's yielding the control of the af-
fairs of the island to the Americans,
and the explanation for resigning was
his disapproval of passive submits
sion to conditions tending to the
practical retirement of the Cuban re-
public, as such, and the establishing
Of the ABSOLUTE dominion of the Unit

'Oh, you hate to tell lie, do you? 1

he is innocent. You'll stand trial"
This was exactly what Williams attorney
did not want.
