The Next COUNTY EAIR.

Our Nergennes and Bristol contem-
poraries are agitating the question of
holding the next county fair at Yer
gennes.
There is no gansaying that consider
able dissatisfaction prevailed at the time
of the distribution of wards at the last
fair, owing to the cutting down of the
premiums. The feeling was perfectly
natural one; but we have too much re
spect for the common sense of all con-
cerned to assume that there were any
who did not clearly understand the
causes which led up to the reduction. 1t
seems to us the height of ingratitude to
criticise those officers of the association
of the society in the past. If any criti-
cism is due, it is that they took the
trouble in the first place to postpone the
inevitable.
At the last fair there was no lack of
numbers In attendance. Hardly pre-
Vious fair had been so well patronized in
point of numbers. This fact was easily
accounted for by the low entrance fee
charged and the central location of
Middlebury. If under these conditions
the total receipts fell short of a sufficient
amount to clear off the old debt and nav
the premiums in full, it will be a con-
siderable risk for the society to hold a
meeting at a point far removed from the
centrally located county seat. The
county fair is purely a county matter.
1t cannot hope to draw on Chittenden
county, which has far more pretentious
fair of its own. The convenience of our
own people is, therefore, OF the first i'm
portance in figuring upon an attendance.
We have no doubt that the business
men of Vergennes would do their full
share in an effort to make the fair sue
cess. Attendance, however, is the ulti-
mate guage of success, and this can not
be controlled by the best of local prepar-
ations for the comfort and entertain
ment of the crowds. Add to the incon-
venence of location the extra expense
which will have to be borne by the So
ciety in arranging new quarters for the
fair and we have state of things hardly
encouraging to the hope of a successful
meeting.
Now that the old debt is cleared off
and a comparative degree of prosperity
is looked forward to another season by
our people, the chances of success for
the fair here in Middlebury are far
brighter than can be found anywhere
else in the county.

HE MAY YET GO FREE
CAPT. DREYFUS POSSIBLY THE
VICTIM OF A CONSPIRACY.

The Unfortunate Man Is Now Serving a
Life Sentence In Exile For the Alleged
Betrayal of French Government Secrets
to the German War Ofiice.
Captain Dreyfus who was exiled by
the French Government on a charge of
selling information to the German War
Department, may be freed, as it is be-
ginning to appear that Dreyfus was the
victim of conspiracy. An officer on
the German general staff, while at a
banquet in England recently, was ask
ed if Dreyfus really gave the Germans
any information. He assured the
questioner, upon his word of honor as
an officer, that Dreyfus was not guilty
of the crime for which he is confined
for life on the terrible lie du Diable, off
the coast of French Guiana.
The island, one of the Salvation
group, was formerly used as a leper
settlement. There are only two struc-
lures on the island, one of which is
used by the prisoner and the other by
his guards. No one is allowed to land
on the island, but from other islands,
either lie st. Joseph, where the bulk
of the convicts are confined, or the lie
Royale, where the marines who consti-
tute the garrison are quartered, the
prisoner on the intermediate rock can
be seen, the more readily that he is al
lowed to wear white clothes. The
length and breadth of the island is his
exercise ground during certain hours.
His time is mostly his own, and he

spends much of ii in reading. He is
allowed to have books and magazines,
but no newspapers ever reach him
Dreyfus admits that appearances were
against him, but maintains that he is
the victim of a CHASTITY judicial error.
He never ceases to declare that the
time is bound to come when his inno-
cence will be clearly established.
Every precaution is taken to guard
against his escape or rescue. His
guard consists of six men under SER
geant. The men are on duty two at a
time for four-hour stretches. from
dawn to dark. At dark one man en-
ters a sort of cage in the prisoners
house, whence he commands a view of
his bedroom. That man remains on
duty all night and never sits down.
One man had this watch for a whole
year but he nearly became insane. and
then the system was changed. so that
now a different man stands guard
every night. BY night or by day no
matter what may happen, no word may
be addressed to the prisoner.
A new sensation has been injected
into the Dreyfus case by the eXtraor-
binary charges of bribery made by
Count Walsin Esterhazy against NJ.
Standardization and Col. Pignard.
1t was they who took up the fight for
Capt. Dreyfus, declaring that he is
suffering life imprisonment, in order
that the real culprits, Esterhazy and
others, might go free.
Count Walsing Esterhazy is an Aus
trian who has long been in the service
of France. He was an aid to Presi-
dent Grevy. He was retired shortly
after the conviction Of Dreyfus, and
has since been living in Italy.
NJ. Scheurer-K estner has been hon
Orably prominent in France for thirty
years. He belongs to an eminent fam
lily, and his name has never been even
whispered in connection with anything
dishonorable
Nj. Leon Bazille, Deputy for Poitiers
in the Department of Vienne, who is
acting as Count Esterhazy's counsel,
expresses his belief that Captain Drey-
fus had a number of accomplices in
his betrayal of military secrets.
