THE pREYFus CASE.
The Prisoner to BE Allowed TO Make
n Defense.

PARIS, Nov. 16.-The Courier du
Soir says that NJ. Cavaignac. former
minister of war. and NJ. Deroulede, one
of the most violent opponents Of Drey-
fus revision, called upon the premier
NJ. Dupuy, yesterday and asked him not
to execute the decision of the court Of
cessation to notify Dreyfus to prepare
his defense. NJ. Dupuy refused to COM
ply with their request, whereupon they
threatened to make an Interpolation in
the chamber. The Courier du SoiT
adds. THE court of cessation has de-
cided in principle to demand the pro-
duction of the secret dossier, though
the formal steps have not been taken"
La Liberte asserts that the court Of
cessation has decided to impart to the
counsel of Dreyfus the text of the dep
ositions of the various ministers Of
war, the letters Of Comte Ferdinand
Walsin Esterhazy seized by the court
and the secret dossier If the latter is
produced.

It happened to be one of the old

to her friend in a tore that was au-

it's dreadful the way that man over

The girl made one or two more re-
marks and then suddenly the gentle
man sitting beside the offending one

me, madam, but as you seem to be

There is a regular hair harvest, just

hair comes from Switzerland, Germany
and the French provinces. There is a

hair traders walk up and down the vile

their belts, and examine the braids
which the peasant girls let down for

KATE ROSE VARNELL
KILLED HERSELF.

The Sequel Of the ROse-Nsrris Tragedy at
Palmyra, Mo-, Last June.
Palmyra, 40 May 6.-The sequel
OF the famous Rose Norris tragedy
OF last summer was enacted here
shortly after o'clock this afternoon
when Mrs. Kate Rose Yarnsll com.
mitted suicide by shooting with her
brothers revolver.
Last Sunday she came home from
st. Louis, where she had been living
since her marriage to Vsrnell, and
although she did not positively say
so, it was understood that she had
separated from her husband. She
was very morose, but gave no hint
of her terrible purpose. While in a
bedroom with a little niece late this
afternoon she suddenly took a 80
caliber revolver belonging to her
brother, Oliver, from a drawer, and
placing the muzzle at her right tenn
pie, pulled the trigger. The ball
entered the head just above the tenn
pie. She lived until 8 o'clock, but
did not regain consciousness and
made no statement of any kind.

il to help the Cubaas. The favored
daughter of the famous millionaire
will furnish the sinews of war for
four troops of Cuban cavalry. These
troops are not for the United States
but the army of insurgents and Miss
Gould will pay all the expenses of
their equipment and transportation
A short time ago Miss Gould sent
her check for 100000 to President
Mckinley to be used as he deemed
proper in the war and minated in
the letter which accompanied it that
she would like to double the amount.
This check was returned by the
President because under the law he
bad no power to accept it
Miss Gould was disappointed by
the result attending her patriotic
offering, but she was not discour-
aged. She consulted Mrs. Ledyard
Stevens Of this city, and was advised
by her to expend the money in send
ing soldiers to Cuba.
This proposition met with Miss
Gould's appreciation and at the sug-
gestion of Mrs. Stevens, George M.
Barber was consulted as to the best
way to carry out the project. After
conference it was decided that Mr..
Barber should procure commission
from the Cuban authorities as briga-
der general with authority to raise
four companies of cavalry of sixty
men each, to serve in the Cuban
army and to be under the orders OF
Cubans exclusively.
Miss Gould agreed to pay all the
expenses of recruiting these men, to
purchase uniforms, horses and equip
ments and to pay all transportation
to Cuba. This project was submit,
ted by Barber to the War Depart
ment, and he was told that If be
landed the men in Cuba free of ex
pense to the government the United
States would supply the men with
arms and ammunition.
MIR. Barber received his commits
sion aud authority to raise the troops
and having completed his business
with the War Department, LEFT
Washington to recruit his men.
