PANIC in WHEAT PIT.
Joseph Letter Lets Go of 100000 Bush-
els of the Grain.

Chicago, June 14.-After a brilliant
campaign stretching over months King
Wheat has suddenly met with a reverse
and the market is all in confusion.
There was a veritabe panic among the
bulls, who have been so strongly in
trenched that few believed that their
position could be successfully attacked
This panic struck the pit on the board
almost before the bell had stopped re-
sounding through the big chamber and
with a whirl and rush the price began
to drop.
In brief, the July option sold off IL
cents from Saturdays close, September
slumped Az and December 3h cents.
When the market opened in the morn
Ing July opened all the way from 80
cents down to so cents and before long
1t was down to rs cents. OF course the
name of Joe Letter could be heard on
al sides as being one Of the prime fac
tors in the trouble of the day. l.. u.
Letter, his father, was in the city and
all sorts of stories were afloat. The
one which gained the most credence
was that Letter the younger had, on
the advice of his parent, parted with
some 5000, 900 bushels of the product.
OF course, when this got noised about,
the little fellows tumbled over each
other in their mad rush to get rid OF the
slippery stuff. Letter had, it was said,
determined to get rid of some OF his
partners In the deal and had left them
high and dry while he went swimming
ly on down the stream TO success. one
Of the immediate effects of the panic
was a persistent story to the effect that
Allen. Grier and Cellar, who have been
acting as brokers for Mr.. Letter, were
affected by the big slump.
Joseph Letter is embarrassed but tenn
porarily, according to his own state
ment. He was compelled to unload
some of his holdings. Exaggerated ru-
mors quickly spread about the streets
and the report was soon spread broad
cast that the great wheat Spectator
had assigned and that his father had
withdrawn financial support.
'T have not made an assignment"
said Mr.. Letter, NOR do believe such
will be necessary. I am embarrassed.
however, but only temporarily. 1855.

tons handsome and most flourishing
young merchants, was elected president
OF the den, with the duties of buying
the provisions, having them cooked and
to see that each member cleans up his
own room, and rented this little cottage
In the rear Of the church.
Mr.. Warren, the president of the den,
when seen recently by a representative
OF the Atlanta Constitution, said that
he had no hesitancy in stating that the
den was doing finely, and that the in
mates were well pleased. He said that
now board costs them little less than
an average Of SO per month, whereas
boarding they paid about $l5, and every
thing cheap in the way of provisions.
"We decided" said he, "that IL the
boarding house keepers could make so
much we might save it, and SO organic
ed the den, and SO far we are well
pleased. You may state to the public,
however, and to the ladies incidentally,
that we are not in the den to get away
from their charms, for we all love the
girls and would be glad to have them
take care of us. You may say also that
we are all very handsome and think we
could and would make good husbands.
Tell all the ladies who want husband
to apply at once to me, as chairman Of
the den, and I can furnish them at half
price,"
Mr.. Warren stated further that the
boys did all their work and kept one or
two servants, and that the house was
kept as well as any woman could keep
it. These young men are worthy and
high toned, and their new venture is
watched with interest by the public.
Many interesting stories are afloat about
them, but they appear to be unruffled
and greatly pleased with the life in the
den.

One Can Always Give Himself.

One of the pleasantest Of day dreams
is to imagine how charitable you would
be IL you had plenty Of money. The role
of a bountiful master or mistress Is q
delightful one, and 1t is easy to imagine
how, il you had command OF q 1or-
tune, you would make people happy
and with what grace you would receive
their gratitude. OF course few persons
can venture to indulge the hope that
they will be rich, but while we are
dreaming these dreams it is well enough
60 think whether we are showing our
selves charitable in the use OF what Is
really within our command. Take, Tor
instance, ones thoughts. 1t is natural
enough to put hard and bitter con-
struction upon the actions OF others.
Possibly. from q superficial point OF
view. their conduct warrants It. But O

As to horseback Riding.

The Kentuckian was talking freely
about horses. Although it was a sale
stable, he was speaking his mind. He
had made the proper speeches about the
gait of the beautiful creatures the darby
trainer trotted up and down; he had
not lost his look of grave acquiescence
when he heard things about the horse
who trots. But chance word touched
his true thought, and he spoke the faith
of Kentuckians and westerners, Texans
and Californians, in something this
wise: "That's right. 1t ain'treally rid
ing to JOLT up and down and look stylish
on trotting horse You can't say much
about it in Boston, or anywhere in cities
where people don't care about the easy
steps. They don't know what you're
talking about. It's queer notion and
one my folks in Kentucky can't get used
to-that trotting horse can be saddle
horse. Women want to be stylish,
though, everywhere, and they would
learn how to rise up like the Boston
women. But they didn't keep it up. A

AT this time there was attached TO the
military staff a Hebrew officer, Alfred
Drevfus. son OF wealthy manufacturer
Mt Mulhausen. in Alsace. This officer, to-
cerher with his three brothers. elected,
after the war Of 1870. TO remain French
subjects Alfred Dreyfus showed con-
siderable ability, was a hard worker
and was then already the father Of two
little children. 10 whose mother he was
devotcdly attached.
The French authorities. having secur-
ed possession Of the b0Tderau opened an
inquiry ta discover its author. Comman-
dant du Patey de Clam discovered in it
a resemblance 10 the handwriting of
Dreyfus.
Dreyfus was arrested tried in camera
and sentenced to Imprisonment for life
and degradation from all military rank
and honors.
His depreciation which took place at
the Ecole Miitaire. Paris, on January
s. 1895, was witnessed by 1900 troops
and was as complete as is known to the
practice Of military law. The insignia
of rank. the badges of his profession.
were torn from his coat and cap, even
the stripes were torn from his trousers
by the adiutant and his sword broken in
two.
Drcyfus protested that he was inno-
cent. and said: In three years the truth
will be known and the minister himself
will take my part
Before the degradation he was asked
by Capt. Lebrun, in whose charge he was
placed al the Ecole Militaire, whether
he had ever thought of suicide He con-
fessed ttlat he had thought of IL on the
day Of his condemnation. but that sub
sequent reflection convinced him that. be-
ing absolutely guiltless. he had no right
10 take his own life-in three years he
was certain justice would be done him
Two years later doubts began to be
expressed regarding Dreyfus guilt, and
II was limited that a grave judicial error
had been made NJ. Scheurer-Kestner in
@ letter to Gen. Billot, then miniter for
war, declared that rich and titled Off
Ger, well known in Paris society, had
been requested to resign in consequence
or the continued leaking of military Sc
crets since Capt. Dreyfus' impris slment.
Furthermore, he declared that this off,
Ger was the author of the unsigned let
ter which led to the condemnation of
Dreyfus.
Subsequently NJ Matthew Dreyfus
brother of the condemned man, wrote
letter TO Gen. Billot in which he accused
Comte Esterhazy of being the author of
the famous memorandum.
In reply Comte Esterhazy's requested
