About fifteen years ago Capt. A. Judson, q

store; After merchandising for a short fine. he
bought q pretty little home near the village OF

sailor conceived the idea OF building his yacht.
The keel was laid. the ribs slowly assumed posi-
tion. and winter ana summer the work dragged
on. Years passed. Tho first tlmbers began to
decay. and before the completion OF one part
the timbers were OF necessity replaced by new,
and yet the pet scheme wns not abandoned.

That DreyfuS. i'm whose cause /ola
got worsted in his first trial. should
die just as his champion obtained a
new trial, is most dramatic incident
in a very dramatic episode of modern
history. That Dreyfus should have
been bounded to death at last is not
to be wondered at. Treated as he has
been, it is a wonder that he survived
as long as he has done. The proba-
bility is that i'm Zola's new trial the
evidence which he, was so anxious to
bring in with regard to Dreyfus may
be admitted. If Dreyfus is dead there
will still be the satisfaction to his
family that his honor has been vim
Dictated.
1t is a curious fact that another
popular French author devoted him
self to as hard fight as lola made,
against judicial outrage and that he
won. This was Noltaire. The case
was the putting to death of Jean Ca
las for the murder of his son. Vol
taire investigated the case, devoted
himself for some years to sitting the
evidence, besieged the authorities,
scattered pamphlets upon the case
broadcast over France. and at last
triumphed. The council of state re-
versed its decree, acquitted the wild
ow and children of all completely in
the crime, ordered the council of Tou-
louise to blot out from their registers
the record of the conviction and SEN
tence of CALAIS, and to inscribe an act
of vindication, but-they could not
restore Calais to life; he had been bro
ken on the wheel. Is it that the same
fate will meet Zola's efforts? \ vim

copies Of it have appeared in the il

understand Arctic conditions have all
