THE PEOPLE ARE EXCITED.
The Minister of War Resigns be-
cause of the Dreyfus Case.

Paris, Sept. 5-M. Cavaignac Saturday
sent the following letter of resignation to
Nj. Brisson, premier and the president Of
the council;
81 have the honor to send you and beg
you to transmit to the president OF the
republic my resignation as minister of
war; There exists a disagreement be-
tween us, which being prolonged, would
paralyze the government at a time when
it most needs full unity of decision.
remain convinced of the guilt of Dreyfus
and am determined as heretofore to com
bat revision of the case. / do not in
tend to shirk the responsibility of the
present situation, but L can not assume
it without being in accord with the chief
of the government to which / have the
honor to belong"
These are the circumstances which led
NJ. Cavaignac to resign: After the dis
covery of Lieutenant Colonel Henry's
forgery the government sought means to
reassure the public The question of re-
vision was preached. Certain ministers
believed the time had come to throw full
light and to establish every responsible
ty. M. Cavaignac strongly objected. He
declared that he was convinced of the
guilt of Dreyfus
M. Brisson vainly pointed out to NJ.
Cavaignac that the revision would be
purely judicial.
NJ. Cavaignac replied that revision
could only be justified if some new fact
developed to show that there had been a
judicial error and that no such fact ex-
listed, Henry's forgery being subsequent
to the conviction of Dreyfus and only in
directly connected with it.
NJ. Bourgeois, called from Switzerland
made a new effort but NJ. Cavaignac
still refused. The latter saw NJ. Brisson
the premier, and declared that his deter
mination was immovable and that he
would resign After NJ. Cavaignacs de
parture, conference was held at the min
istry of the interior between NJ. aBrisson
Minister Bourgeois and Nj. Sarrien. About
8 o'clock NJ. Cavaignac's letter of resig-
nation was received. 1t is assumed thar
a majority of the cabinet accept the views
of NJ. Brisson as the others retain
their portfolios. The resignation of NJ
Cavaignac enables the government to de
eide the matter and it is believed NJ. Cav
aignac's successor at the war office will
soon be appointed and definite resolu
ton taken.

If there is any one thing more than
another for which the American people
should offer thanks it is their national
temperament 1t is temperament that
does not merely invite success, but that
practically assures it. In spite of our
hurry and hustle" there is. in the
American makeup, n kind of imper-
turbable calmness and assurance that
is akin to the British or German quail
ity, and that is the thing we call, for
want of a better term. AnglO-SaXOn,
and whose basal elements are TeutOnic.
An editorial writer in the Outlook a
short time ago related Il conversation
overheard 10y him in railroad train.
in which one of two men. who We're
commenting on the chances of com
mon friend for election to a public Of
flee, said: Hes showed how bad he
wanted it, and don't you know if you
know a man wants a thing as bad as
that. it kind of goes against you to vote
for him? That's human nature" The
writer proceeds to show how this in
stinct. common to all of us, so far from
being mean or perverse. is i'm fact a
part of the forces making for public
soundness. The nominee "intOlerably
anxious to win votes" is. in all proba-
bility, not the ideal man for the place.
and. while he may be morally superior
TO his opponent. he lacks the tempera-
ment of which the best political leaders
are made. The Outlook writer support
ed his theory by other instances and
attenuated it somewhat. but the gist Of
his remarks was that the ideal leader
does not set his heart on any given vic
tory. because for him victory more or
less does not greatly matter-he knows
success rides upon his banners, and he
preserves his inner calmness, even
when fighting desperately for the i'm
mediate issue. This is the temperament
that wins. that is never defeated even
when its bearer is ground into the dust.
1t is the temperament that fights best
when its cause is just. and that for
that reason whenever it has been pitted
against itself, as in the Revolution and
/ the Rebellion. has turned the balance
in favor of right rather than might 1t
is the temperament that has led n
peaceful nation into war which at the
outset seemed likely to enlist all the
powers of the earth against the defend
er of the weak. 1t is the temperament
! that stands behind the greatest civiliz-
ing forces of the earth at this present
moment and that would survive any
and all adverse forces external to
| itself. so long as it had a moral foot
hold. 1t is the temperament which,
! even if the great blind, dense mass of
/ Slavism could throw itself in the track
of civilization, would still rise with
keen untroubled face" above the SEEM
ing ruin, and would triumph in the end.
For the one thing that the Anglo
] Saxon has never yet learned is the les
son of final and real defeat. 1t is, above
all others, the invincible temperament

PECULIAR P0IS0NS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY.
The Result of Imperfect Digestion
of Food.

Every living thing plant or animal. con-
tains within itself the germs OF certain
decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
disease and death called by scientists
Ptomaines) are usually the result OF inn
perfect digestion OF food the result Of in
digestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach. from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly digest
the food The result is a heavy, sodden
mass which ferments the first process OF
decay, poisoning the blood, making II
thin, weak and lacking in red corpuscles;
poisoning the brain, causing headaches
and pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart causing
palpitation and finally bringing on disease
of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ,
every nerve, depends upon the stomach
alone for nourshment and renewal. and
weak digestion shows itself not only In
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley, said
the best start in life is a sound stomach.
Weak stomachs fail to digest food proper
ly. because they lack the proper quantity
of digestive acids Qactic and hydrochloric)
and peptogenic products; the most sensi-
BILE remedy in all cases OF indigestion,
IL to take after each meal one or two OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because they
supply in a pleasant, harmless form all
the elements that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form OF stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh. insure pure blood,
strong nerves. bright eye and clear COM
plexion, because all these result only from
wholesome food well digested.

RADFORD.
District Convention knights o
Pythias-CattIe Interest

EAST RADFORD, VA, September pa
Especial. THE Sixth District Convention
Of knights Of Pythias met here Thursday
afternoon, and adjourned Friday morn
ing, after an instructive and interesting
session. An address of welcome was de-
livered by Chancellor Commander Frank
Cassel of Radford Lodge, and the re-
Spouse was made by Past-Grand-Chan
ceilor II. M. Darnall, of Roanoke. About
forty Knights were in attendance, and
the meeting was a success In every par
ticular. District Grand-Deputy j. NJ. New
ton. of Pocahontas presided, and the fol-
lowing programme was carried out, the
subjects being generally discussed: 1.-THE
Rank of Esquire" ID. f. French, past
chancellor of Pocahontas Lodge; "The
Ritual" j. r. Bryan, past chancellor Os-
ceola Lodge, Of Roanoke; "The Duty of
Pythian Lodges to Their Members-First
Their Own, Second Visiting" w. p Gum,
past chancellor Radford Lodge; 1.-THE
Uniform Rank" Past-Grand- Chancellor
III. NJ. Darnall. Osceola Lodge, Roanoke:

Order OF knights of Pythias," Robert
Catlett Grand Chancellor; volun-
teer subjects for the good Of the order;
general discussion; comforting rank of
knight by team from Osceola Lodge, No.
AZ. of Roanoke.
iht DdptlS Itdu dIlQ speeches maze
were of q high order and they showed
that the order in Southwest Virginia is
alive and progressive. This is the first
time in the history OF Pythianism in
Virginia that district conventions have
been held, and If the meeting here is q
sample of the interest taken, district con-
ventions have come to stay. The best
feature Of the meetings is the fact that
in the district conventions any Knight in
good standing can participate and dis
cuss subjects beneficial to the order.
while the Grand Lodge is made UP of
past chancellors. Heretofore the rank
and file have not had the benefit of hear
ing more than one or two addresses du-
ring the year, as the Grand-Lodge officers
would make their visits. After the work
closed the visitors sat down to repast
rendered by Radford Lodge.
The shipment of cattle continues from
this section. Henry T. Einstein will ship
10 European markets over six hundred
4-year-olds. while Hartman & Glendy will
