MORE FRENCH HONOR.

Perhaps Justice, Zola and Dreyfus are about to have their innings. Colo nel Henry's revelation of forgery and his suicide gave very plain indication of what had been done. And now Ma jor Esterhazy, who has been hiding in London, says he is tired of being made ity fairly distributed. He makes the startling statement that out of the thousand documents in the Dreyfus case six hundred were forged. He de- fends himself as follows: Everything I did was in blind, unquestioning obedi- ence to my superior officer. I am a professional soldier. know no law but the law of absolute obedience to my su- periors. If I were ordered to take a gun and shoot my own brother I would do so without the slightest hesitation. I have now only my own honor to con- sider My military chiefs have aban- doned me. I owe them no further alle- glance.
 They say that the honor of the French army has required the dreadful crime that seems to have been commit ted against Dreyfus. If the truth is now being told the honor of the French army will require more powerful dis infectant than any yet discovered.

ish and American interests to make that country desirable member of the cable alliance, The cost to each nation would also be greatly reduced, as one Pacific cable would answer all purposes between Canada, the United States Hawaii, Australia, China, Japan and the Philippines.
 Another reason for this telegraphic alliance is found in the fact that the French have projected cable from New Caledonia designed to make an other terminus in North America. The annexation of Hawaii has made cable connection with that possession an im- perative necessity, and in the event that Great Britain should decide upon an all-British line it is highly probable that France and the United States would reach an agreement to join in terests in a Pacific cable.

THETALK ABOUTA PACIFIC CABL1

THETALk ABOUTA PACIFIC C4BLE
 There is a mild renewal of the asita- tion for an aII-British Pacific cable. The dependencies of Great Britain in the South Pacific are talking about con- tributing one-third of the cost if Great Britain and Canada will each contrib ute third.
 This country has a new and import ant interest in any Pacific cable scheme. This interest is amply recog- nized by an Englishman, Charles Bright, F. R. s. E., who presents a strong argument in favor of line to be built and controlled jointly by Great Britain, the United States and Japan. The principal argument in favor of an all-British line is that through isolation tion in times of war, at the same time inviolable secrecy concerning naval and military movements would be secured. The cutting of cables in the Hispano- American war has strengthened this argument in the minds of many. At the same time all realize that as a con- mercial proposition the Pacific cable scheme is not inviting, and that the only immediate benefit will be the pro- motion of intercourse between the countries so connected; in other words. the project appeals to national pride rather than to commercial instinct. MT. Bright points out that the friendli- ness existing between Great Britain and the United States, which will prob ably be sealed everlastingly by an in- ternational arbitration treaty, is a guarantee of the security Great Britain seeks through the construction of an an-British line. The interests of Japan are closely enough identified with Brit

CUBA AND THE SPORTSMAN.

CubA AND HE SgORI oMAtN'
 While Cuba offers such a haven to the invalid it is a paradise for the sportsman, wild game and fish of all kinds being abundant.
 Parties of gentlemen on horseback, fleet-footed deer. It is a common thing for small party to kill eight or ten deer in a day.
 The wild boar is plentiful, and some times, if cornered, dangerous, especial ly the old master of the herd, called "un soltario," which will tear dog to pieces or make a green hunter climb a tree, but a Cuban easily kills him with machete. The island boar sometimes weighs two or three hundred pounds, and his huge tusks, often five or six Inches in length. The meat of the fe- male is much relished by the natives. Wild dogs and cats, wild cattle, horses and jackasses abound. But the jutia, peculiar only to Cuba, which looks like a cross between squirrel with rats tail and rabbit, and which lives in the trees and feeds on nuts and leaves, is the great delight of the Cuban.
 Fowls are in great numbers. Wild guinea hens and turkeys are found in fiocks of from twenty-five to one hum dred. The whistle of the quail and the fiutter of the pheasant and perdiz are heard on all sides in the rural and mountain regions Ducks In abundance come over from Florida in the winter and return with the spring. Wild pig cons, with their white tops and bodies of blue, larger somewhat than tho do- mestic bird, offer, in hunting. the great est sport to gentlemen who will be re- strained within reason. In the early mornings the pigeons generally go to feed on the mangle berries when ripe, and which grow by the sea or near some swampy place. I have known a party of three persons to kill fifteen hundred of the pigeons within a few hours. RDbiches, tojosas and guanaros are found in the thick woods.
 Mocking and blue birds, orioles, tur- pals, negritos, parrots and thousand kinds of songsters and birds of brilliant plumage fit from tree to tree.
 The naturalist Poey says there are six
 
 of fish in the Cuban waters Among those that delight the sportsman are the red snapper, lista, manta, gallego, cubera, surela and garfish. The sierra, which weighs from forty to sixty pounds, is extremely game, as is the romeo, so called because it snores when brought out of the water For heavy sport, fishing for sharks, which are good for nothing, or the gusa, which weighs from four to six hundred pounds and is excellent eating, offers abundant exercise. It is daily occurrence to see schools of fish, numbering from hun dreds to many thousands each fish weighing from one to four pounds, swimming around the bays and harbors waiting for bait. Any American who enjoys good fishing can find his tondest dreams more than satisfied in Cuba. Delicious shrimps, crabs and Holsters oysters and clans abound The lobs- ters have no claws and weigh from two to eight pounds. They are caught at night in shallow places along the sandy beach, torch. harpoon and net being the necessary outfit. Some of the riv- CTS abound in alligators, but few hunt them.-Field and Stream

A movement has been instituted by the Wayne county, Indiana, Historical society to secure possession of the homestead of Levi Coffin, at Fountain City, Indiana formerly known as New port. The homestead was one of the chief depots on the line of the under ground railroad" the work done by Levi Coffin and wife not being excelled, perhaps, by any other two individuals. They resided at Fountain City from 1927 to 1S47, and in that time more than two thousand fugitive slaves were helped on toward Canada by them, and not one of them was ever captured. The old house is in good condition, ap- bearing as it did when Levi Coffin and his wife. Aunt Katie, lived in it. The shed where the big wagon was kept still adjoins the back of the barn. Be-

In Scotland, says an English paper, a modification of the Gothenburg system seems to be making headway. A little village near the Dunfermline, named Hill of Beath, has municipalized it's public house and installed the electric light out of the profits. This success has raised envy in the soul of another village close by, called Kelly. Kelly does not see why it should not munic- ipalize it's whiskey drinking, so public meeting has been held with a real live County Councillor in the chair to pro- pound a scheme. A sum of G2,OOO is to be raised as capital wherewith to erect the public house. There are to be eight directors-six elected by the shareholders and two by the county council The shareholders are to get a per cent. dividend on their capital and the surplus profits are to be hand ed over to the county council, to be ap- piled as it sees fit.

MORE RULINGS
Commissioner Scott Passes
Upon Three Matters.
The Rent Receipt Question Again Con-
sidered-No Tax Needed ON Trans
fers of Burial Permits-0ther
Matters.

A communication received yeSter-
day by the Wheeling internal revenue
officials from the department at
Washington, gives rulings of Com
missioner N. r. Scott on two or
three very important matters. The
list includes ruling definitely out
lining the intentions of the internal
revenue officials with regard to the
stamping of rent receipts. On this
point there is much misapprehension.
A statement in private letter writ
ten by Commissioner Scott, to Mar
shall county man indicated that all
rent receipts would be held untaxa-
BILE. There is provision, however,
in the new law which places some
forms of receipts liable. Commission
er Scott's ruling is:
sThis Office holds that where re-
ceipt is given for money as rent, and
there are no other recitals in the re-
ceipt, it does not require stamp. If
the receipt contains any phrase or
clause that can be constructed as a
contract for the hire, use or rent as
aforesaid, then in such cases the re-
ceipt becomes something more than
a bare receipt and should be stamped
according to its tenor or effect.
BURIAL LOTS AND EXHIBITIONS.
In reply to questions asked as to the
stamp acts intent with regard to
transfers of burial lots and public ex-
hibitions, the commissioners hold in
the case Of the former that no stamp
is required on deeds given for more
permits to bury in certain ground
II the deed makes an actual transfer
Of the ground, however, the proper
amount Of revenue must be collected.
In the public exhibition matters per-
sons giving or holding public exhibit
tions, entertainments or shows in
school houses, churches or theaters for
private profit shall pay tax of $40 per
year. When a school or church or
charitable institution gives enter
tainments or performances for the
benefit of sect or for charity no tax
is levied

The Country Boy.

The country bred boy has the dis
tinct advantage over the city-bred
fellow in two things: his strength is
greater by reason of his country birth.
and he has d clearer idea of hard
work. The country-bred boy, as q
general rule, has to struggle for his
existence: he has to help on the farm,
and generally it is at hard work
This gives him strength and power Of
endurance. while all the time ne is
breathing an atmosphere Of pure air
into his lungs. Experience prepares
such a boy for hard work. The city
bred boy rarely knows what hard work
is, and when he meets it as a young
man he cannot endure it. 1T is true
that the country boy approaches city
problems with lesser knowledge Of
them than does the city bred boy
But often, as has been said, the two
fundamental essentials in carving
out ones way to successful career
are good health and hard work With
these young man can accomplish al
most anything he desires; without
them he can do nothing.
