Is Found Not Guilty of the Charges Made
 Against Him.
Upon Being Liberated the Count Receives Quite
 an Ovation.
Fresh Chapter of Scandal Added by the Arrest Of a Couple for
 Blackn1ail.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PARIS, Jan. 11-Count Esterhazy has beeen unanimously acquitted
 The taking of testimony ended at 5 o'clock this afternoon. when the gov ernment's representative briefly ad- dressed the court. Counsel for Major Esterhazy followed. The secret delib- eration of the cOurt-martial. which fol- lowed, terminated at S:15 D. m., when the president read the judgment as follows:
 "The president put the following question to the court: Is Major Ester hay guilty of having had dealings with a foreign power or its agents to incite them to commit hostilities or undertake war against France, or pro- cure the means of doing So? The pres ident in giving his opinion said the court declared unanimously upon the aforesaid question that the accused was not guilty"
 The president then ordered Major Es- terhaZy to be liberated.
 Mathieu Dreyfus, on emerging. was not recognized by the crowd. Colonel Picquart who followed him, was ac- companied by some friends.
 Major Esterhazy appeared alone at S:20 D. m. and proceeded to the prison of Cherche Midi. The crowd greeted him with cries of 'Vive fArmee." "Vive le Commandant Esterhazy." and tried to shake hands with him. Directly Ester hazy entered the prison the police cleared the streets.
 The police have arrested and impris- oned Madame JeOuffrey d'Abbans and her paramour on the charge of black mailing an army captain. A number of letters supporting the charge have been seized. Madame Jeouffrey dAbbans is said to have been formerly known as doubtful character, passing under the name of Chabol. She married and has since been divorced from an elderly nobleman, NJ Jeouffrey d'Abbans. She pretended to be Major Esterhazy S ''veiled lady" and was examined dur ing the inquiry.

 We are not new-we are not of the mushroom growth.
 In existence since 1894, the green trading-Stamp system can be very quickly placed at it's proper commer- cial rating if any interested person will take the trouble to ask for a special report from Dun or Bradstreet.
 Its origin, progress and success are an open book, and can be read by everybody.
 We are among the largest buyers of general merchandise, one of the largest advertisers in the United States.
 We pay spot cash for everything, and we have always dealt justly with all our principals.
 But, in conclusion, we think it only fair to ask every person to carefully examine into the system before eX- pressing an opinion for or against it. The fact remains we are only agents. The storekeepers who dispense our green trading stamps are our princi- pals. We sell nothing; we only ex- change.
 There can, therefore, be no opposi- tion to us on the ground that we are competitive merchants.
 The green trading stamp system in- augurated and exclusively carried on by Messrs. Sperry & Hutchinson has proved itself to be one vast advertis- ing plan, and as such, and with these remarks, we leave it to the considera- tion of the purchasing public.

 We all know that some or the shrewdest business men will not ad- Iertise-strange to say some of these ! T. reSSeS.
 Some business men believe in news papers-others shun them.

 Because these inconsistencies are ap- narent. would it be right to condemn advertising in general as so much wasted energy, money and time? Every now and again the pulse of the commercial world throbs with new life. Business is imbued with renewed activity, such life-such activity is all ways the result of some great move | ment of an upward and revolutionary nature; such is the trading stamp sys- | tenn.
 It is a huge method of putting new energy into every business house which takes up it's principles; there is no business house which is exempt from its influences.
 The keynote of the success of the green trading stamp movement is the | fact that it has for it's fundamental principle the Encouragement of credit accounts and it aims to enlarge cash trade.

Since the great sale of furniture and carpets at the Pattosien Companys big store on Sixteenth and Mission the in- stallment business has been completely knocked out. People admit the amount they pay in fitting out homes. offices or hotels is as little as is required to pay a deposit on the installment plan, and after paying hundreds of dollars for goods charged ten times as much as they are worth by missing one months payment the house and home is gone-all there is left is four blank walls.

A trip to the summit of Pixies Peak is
an experience which no traveller to the
Rocky Mountain region should be will
ing to miss. The,tariff is somewhat high
by the Cog Road, So up and back; but
then everything connected with the Peak
is of necessity high. Ii you ever get as
far west as Denver, keep on to Colorado
Springs. You'll be delighted with the
town; you'll find some one here you
know, it's the greatest place on earth
for that; you'll see some of the grandest
mountain scenery on this or any other
continent, in the course of a days drive.
And then if this altitude of 5000 feet
doesn't make you feel uncomfortable,
which is pretty good Indication that
your heart is sounT, take trip up the
Peak. Beg or borrow the money, or do
something. Better yet, put So away in
corner by itself when you start for the
Rockies and label it, "To blow myself
on Pixies Peak" OF course you can
walk up if you will, but it's a hard
pull and long pull and you'll
wear out SIS worth of shoes on
the trip and perhaps have to stay all
night, one way or the other, at the Half
Way house and pay board bill; and [
warn you that board bills on Pixies Peak
are no laughing matter. You can go by
wagon road, or follow the trail on bur
no in the Ego old way" but both of
these methods are rather tedious and
consume more time than some tourists
have to spare.-[ Frederick F. johnson,
