A Dreyfus Case in Russia

1t is reported from ST. Petersburg that
an affair has lately occurred there which
is prototype. to, a certain extent of the
Dreyfus case. Several persons have
been arrested and tried for selling plans
of the Notifications to Austrian agents.
The trial, which was, of course, by court
martial, was held behind closed doors,
and the newspapers were not allowed to
publish word about it. At the end Of
five days, however, it was publicly an
nounced that two out of the eight pris-
oners had been sentenced to Siberia for
life. These two were a privy councillor
named Perobnoff, aged 40, and his daugh-
ter. beautiful girl, aged 20. Among the
accused were Alexander Lovitsky, at
tache Of the ministry Of war; and CaptSin
Nicholas Turchaninoff, an adjutant of

fortress, and formerly an interpreter to

which he had no right to secure.
Wore Nigntcap Before the Queen

wore N1gntcap Before the Queen
To the Earl of Sussex was granted the
privilege of wearing a nightcap in the
royal presence of Queen Mary. The fact
is mentioned in Miss Strickland's Lives
of the Queens of England" as being one
of the odd rewards bestowed by Mary
upon her friends after her accession. The
earl was valetudinarian, and had a great
fear of uncovering his head. Consider
ing, therefore, that the colds he dreaded
respected no person, he petitioned Queen
Mary for leave to wear his nightcap in
her royal presence. The queen not only
gave him leave to wear one, but two
nightcaps, if he pleased. His patent for
this privilege is unique in royal annals:
''Know We that we do grant tel our we'll
beloved and trusty cousin and council
lor, Henry Earl of Sussex, license and
pardon to wear his cap, Golf, or nightcap,
or any two Of them at his pleasure, as
we'll in our presence as in the presence
of any other person within this realm,
or in any other place in our dominions
whatsoever during his life, and these our
letters shall be sufficient warrant in his
behalf"
The queens seal, with the garter above
it, was affixed to this singular grant,

A DENVER OBJECT LESSON.

The short fight between The big
stores OF Denver and the newspapers
OF that city ought to be IN object les
son to business men the world over
A few weeks ago twelve of the lead.
ing stores of Denver entered into a
combination to reduce the pr,ce OF
advertising and then informed the
papers that they could accept a rate
rs Per cent. less than the regular
rate for advertising or take their advs
out of the papers.
The newspapers accepted the gage
OF battle and next morning the papers
appeared without the advertisements
OF the twelve big stores. Then began
a lively fight between the stores and
the papers and the matter being ex-
planned to the public, the public took
up the fight for the press and in a
few days the trade of the stores began
falling off to such an extent that the
stores were almost deserted. The
people Of Denver realize the fact tha,
the press Of the city struggled on in
the dark years of the towns history
and helped to bring in capitol
and advertise the resources of the
State and build up the country and
they also realized tina. the very pros-
perity of the town that enabled those
big stores to thrive was brought
about by a live and enterprisins
press, and they propose to stand bv
their press. The result was that the
stores found that they could not get
along without the papers and their
business was going to the dogs so
fast that they were glad to c~apitulate.
1t too about a week to bring the
stores to a realizing sense. of the
value OF advertising and they came
back and renewed their advertise
Then the clerk who sits be-
hind the advertising desk informed
them that the old rates didn't go and
that there was an advance of Is per
cent. The store proprietors stood the
raise, and admit that they didn't |
know it was loaded.

Under our laws, which allow of a

there is no excuse for the existence of

munerative Office depends upon the

proper person for examining into

is un-American. 1t is simply giving
