AN ENGLIsHMAN,s VIEW.
After Attending the Trial He Thinks
Dreyfus Is Innocent.

LONDON. Feb. 22-The Paris correspond
ent of the Daily News says: NJ. Laborie's
speech was a masterpiece. It's matter was
equal to it's merits. Its style was ample
and it's language copious. NJ. Laborie is a
clear, strong reasoner. with a lively fancy,
and the jury and a hostile audience were
visibly impressed. The continuation of the
speech tomorrow will be weightier than the
first part.
AFTER attendance at all the sittings of the
trial L have arrived at the irresistible con-
viction that Dreyfus is innocent. Every
deposition, whether positive or negative,
leads to this conclusion, and the accumula-
ton of circumstantial evidence is so crush
ing that the anti-Dreyfus papers have not
dared to present it in full to their readers.
Only the great DreyfuS organs have pub
lished really verbatim reports. All others
have been carefully edited. In fact, more
lies have been told in Paris during this trial
than in the whole Of Europe during the rest
of the century. But the very furore of this
lying is beginning to defeat its own object.
The advocate generals speech gave the i'm
preston that he feared NJ. lola. He scarce
ly assaulted him with the tips of his fin
gers. Undoubtedly he has received orders
from the authorities to give no encourage
ment to further controversy over the Drey-
fuS case.

THE PHONENDOSCOPE.
New Instrument That Enables Doctors
to study the vital Organs.

NEW YORK, Feb 21.-The invention is
announced of the phonendoscope, an instru-
ment of wonderful value in studying the
condition of the internal organs of the
body. 1t is declared by physicians to be a
tremendous advance on the old stethoscope.
The phonendoscope conveys to the ply
stefan the sounds made by the internal
organs, thus telling him whether they are
healthy or not. By its aid he cannot only
ascertain the condition of an organ, but
trace its shape 1t has been discovered with
the phonendoscope that the stomach as
sumes a different form when full OF the
different kinds of food and drink. The
rapidity with which various kinds of food
and drink are digested can also be studied
accurately with the phonendoscope. The
instrument Is the invention of DrS. Blauchi
and Bazzi of France
The difficulties with the StethoScope were
that 1t took trained and sensitive ear to
make 1t useful. Drs Blauchi and BaZzi
have long been endeavoring to simplify
these Investigations and have succeeded.
They nave constructed q new apparatus,
the phonendoscope, which permits the least
delicate ear to observe differences in
sounds. This was the problem which con-
fronted them. The noise which is produced
in percuSSing an organ is scattered. The
ear is far away and it only receives a small
part. What was needed was an instrument
which gathered up the vibrations, con-
denSed them, and carried them entire to the
ears The phonendoscope accomplishes this
object. Another advantage of the phonen-
doScope is that it can be heard by many
persons at the same time-a great adVan-
tage in clinical instruction, With the pho
nendoscope one can hear the organs live
and move. Up to now the treatises of anat-
omy have aScribed to the stomach the form
which it possesses in the corpse. This is
largely erroneous. 1t was impossible to out
line it on the living persons By means of
the phonendoscope it is learned that the
stomach is much larger in a vertical direc-
ton than the ANTAGONISTS thought it to be.
1t stretches much farther in this direction
when ii receives food.

PROPOSED IRISH REFORMS
LOCAL GOVERNMENT BILL INTRO
DUCED IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
It's Provisions, Which Were Explained
by Gerald BaIfOur, Approved by
Members from Erin.

LONDON. Feb. 21.-Great activity is
manifested by the Colonial Office officials,
the West African department and among
the high military officers who going out
to the Lagos hinterland. The latter are in
clined to discredit the news which reached
Akassa, Niger coast protectorate, yesterday
to the effect that two French expeditions
are advancing towards Sokoto, capital Of
the sultanate of that name, which is within
the British sphere of influence, but add
that if the news be confirmed it must be
followed by declaration of war.
Replying to a question in the House of
Commons to-day, Mr.. Chamberlain, secre-
tary of state Tor the colonies, said he re-
ceived yesterday a dispatch from Lieut..
Pitcher, commanding at Lokejah stating
that he had received information that four
French officers, with a hundred men, had
arrived at Argungu, on the Sokoto river
and within the sphere of British influence
Mr. Chamberlain added: II cannot believe
that, pending the negotiations, the French
| government can have authorized this inva-
| sion of territory over which our.rights have
been recognized by the convention between
| Great Britain and France"
In the House of Lords the Earl of Seborn
under secretary of state for the colonies,
| by Mr. Chamberlain in the Commons.
All the morning papers comment editori-
| ally on the gravity of the confirmation given
! by Mr.. Chamberlain and the Earl of San
born to the first reports. The Paris denials
| are regarded official disavowaI of the
advance of the French expedition. Official
and diplomatic circles in Paris are quito
calm and composed and it is Inferred there
| fore that the expedition Will be recalled.
| The West African commission continued its
labors yesterday (Monday) without unusual
excitement
The ST James Gazette, commenting on
| the rumors, says: "If the invasion of Soko-
| to is directed from Paris, it admits of but
! enc Interpretation, and the seriousness of
! the situation is increased when it is remem-
bered that these invasions of British terri
! tory must have been planned weeks before
| the present ferment in Paris over Dreyfus.
1t would appear that the French Cabinet,
foreseeing the revelations which should be
caused by the trial of NJ. lola, had deter
mined to bring affairs in West Africa to
a crisis to secure a renewal OF it's popu-
! larity.'

PRESCOTT, Ariz, Feb. 2.-Soon after

DANGER IN SODA
Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its
Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right in its place and
indispensable in the kitchen and for cooking
and washing purposes, but 1t was never iIl-
tended for medicine, and people who use
1t as such viii some day regret IL.
We refer to the common use of soda TO
relieve heartburn or sour stomach. d habit
which thousands of people practice almost
daily, and one which is fraught with dam
ger; moreover, the soda only gives tempo
rary relief, and in the end the stomach trou-
BILE gets worse and worse
The soda acts as mechanical irritant 10
the walls of the stomach and bowels and
cases are on record where it accumulated in
the intestInes, causing death by infiamma-
ton or peritonitls.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the safest
and surest cure for sour stomach (acld dys-
pepsia) an excellent preparation sold by
druggists under the name of Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets. These tablets are large %

GOALS TO NEWCASTLE"
Yankees Now Sending Thousands of
Golf Sticks to Great Britain.

WASHINGTON, Feb. elf ever there
seemed to be a case of carrying Goals to
Newcastle it would seem to be the at
States and sell them in Finland. Yet that
is just what is being done. AT the pretty
village of Hoy Lake, suburb of Liverpool,
there are golf links that are famous as
being the oldest and among the best in
England the game being brought there by
the Scotch, who have settled in large num-
bers in the locality. For a number of
years golf sticks and other paraphernalia
of the game made at Hoy Lake have been
exported to the United States. Quite re-
Gently, however golf sticks made in the
United States have been sent to England
and their arrival has aroused a great deal
of comment. There is already steadily
growing trade in England for domestic
wooden ware of United States manufacture,
particularly washing tubs and WaShboardS
There is undoubtedly a great opening in
England for American manufactures OF
including furniture, which is dearer there
than in the United States. There is no doubt
that most American articles manufactured
from wood are both cheaper and better
made than similar articles manufactured
in England. The reasons are that most
woods are cheaper in America, and i'm
proved machinery is used to far greater
extent in the manufacture than here. The
appearance of American made golf sticks
leads to the suggestion that the United
States could even supply bats and wickets
for the English national game of cricket
cheaper and of better quality than the Eng
fish made articles. Within few weeks one
Englishman resident in America has sue
ceeded in disposing of eight thousand golf
sticks made in the United States to the
largest dealers not only in England, but in
Scotland as well.
