DREYFUS CASE.
Causes Another Resignation in the
French Cabinet.

PARIS, Sept. 17.-At a meeting Of
the Cabinet Ministers to-day it was
decided to submit the decisions in the
Dreyfus case to a commission to he Sc
lected by the Minister of Justice, NJ.
Sarrien. The Minister of War, General
Zurlinden, and the Minister of Public
Works, Senator Tillate, left before the
council adjourned, which is interpreted
as meaning that they do not agree with
their colleagues in this matter, and
that they intend to resign.
The council met at the Elysee Palace
at $50 a. m., President Faure presid-
ing. According to a semi official note,
the Minister of Justice said that after
examining the papers he felt unable to
decide upon the question of the pro-
posed revision of the Dreyfus case un-
til he had taken the opinion of a spe-
cial commission of the Ministry of JUS
tice.
The Cabinet thereupon authorized
the Minister to summon a committee
for the purpose. 1t is reported now
that the portfolio of Minister of War
will be offered to General Lebrun or
M. de Freycinet, and that if they re-
fuse to accept the office M. Brsson
will assume the duties of the Minister
for War in addition to the Premiership,
and M. Valee will be appointed Minister
of the Interior.
AS he was leaving the Elysee Palace
after the Cabinet meeting a large
crowd cheered the Premier, NJ Brisson,
with cries of Viva la revision" ap-
parently showing that feeling was
changing in favor of a reopening of
the Dreyfus case.
Following is the letter General Eur
linden sent to Premier Brisson, Min
lister of War: Il have the honor to beg
you to receive my resignation as Min
lister of War. An exhaustive study OF
the papers in the Dreyfus case has
convinced me too fully of his guilt for
me to accept, as the head of the army,
any other solution than that of the
maintenance of the Judgment in its
entirety"

BALTIMORE AND OHIO.
Chicago Capitalists Secure Control
of the Road.

CHICAGO, Sept 1.-THE Times
Herald" says:
Phil d. Armour, Marshall Field and
Norman 3. Ream have secured control
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
They have made James j. Hill Presi-
dent of the Great Northern Railway,
the dominating factor in the reorgan
ization of the system, and have gained
for Chicago and the Northwest what is
practically trunk line from ocean to
ocean, controlled by Chicago capital.
Mr.. Ream engineered the deal by
which his wealth, with that of Mr.. Hill
and Messrs. Armour and Field, gained
controlling interest in the Baltimore
and Ohio, which henceforth is to be a
Chicago enterprise, fed and sustained
in transcontinental affairs by the i'm
mense mileage of the Great Northern
Railway. If any road completes the
gap between the terminus of the Great
Northern Railway in St. Paul and the
terminus of the Baltimore and Ohio in
Chicago, it will be the Chicago and
Great Western Railway, but that is a
matter for the future
Mr.. Ream will become a member of
the Executive Committee of the reor-
Mr.. Armour may become a director
although in all probability the trio Will
be represented by Mr.. Ream. Presi-
dent Hills connection with the trans
action foreshadows the statement that
he will be the prime factor of the road.

is not known, the details of the trans

Gals confirmed the report current in
Wall street on Thursday and in Chi
cago railroad circles that in addition
to the holdings of the road which the

have secured last week for Western
hackers of the road, Messrs. Field, Ar

public has on her shoulders the mantle
of Empire, and has taken the Scepter
Of Empire in her hands and has set
upon her own head the crown Of En-

London Life claims to have infor-
nation that NJ Emile Zola is about to
become a Catholic priest. 1t says the
Vatican was approached on the sub
ject fortnight ago, and that the Pope
had given his assent to the ordination
of the distinguished author six months
ago. NJ. Zola's conversion is said to
have been made by Father Gougon, the
pastor of a small parish church and an
intimate friend of the novelist.
All reports from France agree that the
Dreyfus case has now brought France
" the eve OI a CIlSlS, perhaps the IIlOSl
formidable in the history of the third
republic. The situation is rendered
more acute by the fact that it is
threatening not merely the existence of
the Cabinet but the stability of the
Constitution
A significant feature of the situation
is the attitude of President Faure. He
is known to be utterly opposed to a re-
vision of the case; but the Premier, M
Brisson, and a majority of his col
leagues have decided in favor of reopen
ing the matter, and with the resigna-
ton of the Minister of War, General
Zurlinden, as a result, there is but lit
tie doubt but that popular feeling is
still against revision. Thus the Cab
met will come in conflict with the peo-
pie, while President Faure, as the
champion of the army and with the
sympathy of the nation, assumes a for
midable role which may lead to grave
developments. This will be clearly seen
if the Cabinet decision leads, as is ex-
tremely likely, to mob demonstrate
1t is expected that with the present
state of that ill-feeling the army will

The fact that several dollars spent for the
right medicine has effected cure where a
skilled and expensive physician aided by
the latest and most ingenious instrument Of
science, had failed, Is matter Of much
importance.
Important, because II opens to downcast
sufferers a new, inexpensive and sure
avenue to the restoration Of health and the
full enjoyment Of the pleasures Of life.
Such was the experience Of Mrs. Ada
n. Herr, Of 439 North Charlotte Street,
Lancaster, Pa.
From weak, nervous, desponding per-
son, she was made strong, active woman
and = cheerful, helpfu1 wife.
Her story IS interesting.
Mrs. Herr suffered terribly from female
disorders. Her nerves became unstrung,
cramps griped her and caused the most
intense pain.
So weak and physically demoralized
was she, that the slightest labor wearied
her and household duties were a burden.
The most alarming symptoms of her
malady were the frequent fainting spells
that afflicted her.
= In the midst of her work, or in con-
versation, dizziness would come Upon her
and she would fall PROSTATE in swoon.
She consulted a reputable physician. He
diagnosed her case and prescribed the usual
remedies.
Instead Of improving, she continued to
grow worse; the ailment that was robbing
her life Of the joys Of young womanhood
\ became more pronounced.

1t seemed impossible to correct OF even to
check the disorders.
II had become greatly weakened said
MRS. Herr, in telling her story to reporter,
"and the awful cramps and the frequency
and nature Of the fainting spells alarmed
me beyond belief and shattered my system.
III tried electric treatment; it failed, and
did not know where to turn for help.
"A friend told me how her mother had
been greatly benefited by taking Dr.. VII
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
II had but little hope for success, bot de-
cided to give these pills trial.
took two boxes and was much benz
fitted. After taking six more boxes was
cured. DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People had done what all the previous
treatment had failed to do.
IL am folly restored to health now, and
do things that / had hardly dared attempt
before.'
No discovery Of modern times has proved
such boon to women as Dr.. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on
the blood and nerves, invigorating the body,
regulating the functions, they restore the
strength and health to the exhausted woman
when every effort Of the physician proves
unavailing.
These pills are recognized everywhere
as specific for diseases Of the blood and
nerves. For paralysis, locomotor ataxia,
and other disease ionS supposed incurable,
they have proved their efficacy in thousands
of cases. Truly they are one of the greatest
Blessings ever bestowed upon mankind.
