court-martial, convicted of treason to
France. He was condemned on a sin
gle document-a bordereau or mem
orandum of French military secrets of
no Importance or value, alleged by one
of the subordinates of Col. Patty du
Clam to have been found in the waste
basket of the German ambassador.
"2. This memorandum was, the
army's experts contend, in a handwrit-
ing identical in all essential points with
the handwriting of Dreyfus. The op-
position experts contend that it was
in the handwriting of Maj. Esterhazy,
French military spy.
SO. To influence the court-martial
two secret documents were laid before
them, but not shown to Dreyfus or his
counsel. These were two letters writ
ten by the military attache of the Ital-
ian embassy at Paris and referring to
French secrets sold by French Spy,
d. The army now admits that one
of these letters referred to another
person and not to Dreyfus, and both
the Italian attache and the German
attache, to whom he wrote, have
pledged themselves convincingly that
neither letter referred to Dreyfus, and
that they had had no dealings whatever
with him.
~. In 1896, two years after Dreyfus'
condemnation and when the agitation
for retrial began in earnest, Col.
Henry, who had just become the head
of the intelligence bureau. forged let

Italian attaches series. In this forged
letter Dreyfus' name occurred in full.
This forged letter was put forward as
the conclusive proof that Dreyfus was
guilty. Confronted recently with a

himself, and it is accepted that suicide

He was dismissed for collecting proofs

the bordereau was in the handwriting
of the French spy Esterhazy, and that

full woman Notwithstanding the try
ing time she has passed through and
the great grief she has felt.
Zola's interest in the case will go
into history as one of it's most interest
ing features. The great novelist, in
an open letter, accused number of
army officers of having conspired to
convict Dreyfus to shield themselves.
He was arrested, tried and sentenced
to a year in prison, and fled from
France. The peroration of the speech
which he delivered at his trial was
thrillingly eloquent, especially when
he said:
IF Dreyfus be not innocent. let my
name perish. If he be not innocent,
let my works perish. By all have done
for the literature of my country, by
all I am and hope for, swear that he
is innocent"

BULL AND BEAR BATTING.
Royal Sport in Olden Times Offered
for the Entertainment of
Ambassadors.

1t was royal sport, sport offered
to ambassadors. In a certain diary
it is related how the French ambas-
sailors, on May rs, 1859, were enter
tanned at court with dinner, the queen
herself looking on from gallery. The
next day they were taken down the
river to see the bull-and-bear batting
at Paris gardens. Forty years later,
when James l. entertained the Spanish
ambassador, after dnenr the bears
fought with greyhounds, and they wit
messed a bull-baiting. About the same
time the duke of Wurtemburg paid a
visit to London, and saw the batting at
Paris gardens.
"On September 1 his highness was
shown in London the English dogs, of
which there were about 100, all kept in
the same Enclosure, but each in sep
arate kennel
I'm order to crafty his highness, and
at his desire, two bears and bull were
baited; at such times you can per-
ceive the breed and mettle of the dogs,
for although they receive serious IN
iuries from the bears, are caught by
the horns of the bull and tossed into
the air so as frequently to fall down
again upon the horns, they do not give
in (but fasten on to the bull so firmly
that one is obliged to pull them back
by the tails and force open their jaws.
Four dogs at once were set on the bull;
they, however, could not gain any adj
vantage over him, for he so artfully
contrived to ward off their attacks that
they could not well get at him; on the
contrary, the bull served them very
scurvily by striking and beating at
Them
Bear-baiting was so popular that fell
lows roamed about the country leading
bears, which they offered to be baited
for so much an hour in the villages and
at country inns which they passed.
The master of the "king's game" had
power to seize upon an mastiff dogs,
bears or bulls for the kings service,
and to bait in any place within his do
minions. Henslow and Alleyn. both ac-
tors. were also masters of the kings
game; they had license to apprehend
all Migrants travelling with bears and
bulls.-Sir Walter Besant, in Pail Mall
Magazine.

ist lola.
[Sp ecial Correspondence.1

Much has been said of late about the
Dreyfus affair which is not only in
teresting to Frenchmen but the world
at large. No other subject of the day
is perhaps quite as fascinating, either.
It illustrates clearly the peculiar con-
ditions existing in the French republic
and demonstrates that up to few
weeks ago the army and not the civil
laws governed the people of France.
The facts to which all the details in
this celebrated case must be fastened
have been summarized very cleverly,
from the original documents, for the
New York World under seven heads, as
follows:
II. Capt. Albert Dreyfus. of the
French army, was in 1894, by secret

Fooled.

While the wife of Senator C. K.
Davis was going over the Northern
Pacific from the Pacific coast robber
climbed on the truss rods as the train
was leaving Glyndon, and attempted
to crawl through the window into the
stateroom she was occupying. Mrs.
Davis warned him away and the fell
low made some threatening remarks.
In an open satchel on the seat Mrs.
Davis had revolver. She thrust that
in the would-be robbers face and he
dropped from the rapidly moving train
to the ground.

THE VILLAGE CHURCH.

Unlike the modern temple
The little building white W.
Had no gayly frescoed ceiling.
Or stained glass windows bright.
There was no costly organ,
Or fashions choir to sing,
But pleasant are the memories
That round the old church cling.
The high seats in thu building,
With cushions fade,l red,
Inc quaint, old-fashioned pulpit
with sounding board DER head,
The aged pastor, feeble,
Who preached Of Joys above
And read from little psalm book
Inc old hymns that we love.
once more I see maiden
In the old familiar place,
der yellow curls are floating
Around her girlish face;
her singing, like wild bird,
Comes back through vanished years:
Gently, Lord, Oh, gently lead US
Through this lowly vale of tears!'
That bird voice, ringing clearly,
Seemed to us so strangely sweet,
AS every Sabbath morning
She sat in leaders" seat;
Her eyes. so blue and dreamy,
were filled with unshed tears
AS she implored: "Oh, give US
Rich grace in all our fears!"
Uncultlvared, Natural,
That voice in music rose
Like wild bird soaring heavenward,
In hymns that brought repose.
And deep peace gently stealing
Der all, in sacred place,
AS sweetly she repeated:
"Oh, refresh US with thy grace!'
To-day in church Of fashion
I listen to quartette,
With hymns and variations

And think the old tunes sweeter
OF years now passed away,
When yellow-haired young singer
Could the emotions sway.
