turpentine operators have been suffering
from having their hands carried to Flor

scrbes that any person who shall hire men
within the limits of this state to work in
another shall pay tax of $500. This law
has never been enforced here, but on yes

HOPE FOR DREYPUSY YET
Colonel Henry, Arrested, Makes q Few
Startling Disclosures.
FORGED SOME OF EVIDENCE,
because 1t Was Necessary to Find Proofs
Assinst the Condemned and Dis
graced Captain - Belief a Now
Trial Will be Held.

Paris, Sept 1.-The arrest of Lieuten-
ant Colonel Henry on the discovery that
ne Is the author of an important let
ter which figured in the Dreyfus case is
one or the most sensational develop
ments IN the whole of this extraordina-
ry affair. Colonel Henry has been
throughout the fighting champion of
the army against Colonel Picquart, with
whom he fought duel. This new de-
velopment evidently entirely alters the
aspect of both the Dreyfus and the 70
la cases and practically nullif1es the
evidence Of Generals Pellieux and Bois-
denre and the declarations of the minis
ter OF war. M. Cavaignac, in the cham
Der OF deputies. In fact, some people
believe that perhaps the real turning
point In the Dreyfus case has been
reached and that the arrest OF Colonel
Henry will lead to revision OF the
trial Of the prisoner of Devils island.
1t appears that so soon as M. Cavai-
gnac assumed the office of minister for
war he charged the official bureau to
make thorough research Of the Drey-
fus case. and it was this inquiry which
resulted in the discovery Of documents
lately read in the chamber of deputies

Dangers From Violent Exercise.

There is considerable diversity Of
opinion as to the safety with which wo-
men may indulge in violent exercise in
view of possible injury. AS regard the
heart, there appears to be but one opin.
ion-namely, that that organ, accus-
toned to quiet life, may be danger
ously and permanently crippled by the
excessive strain in athletic sports. Ex-
perience in medical practice, says an
eminent authority, teaches that the pa
tient with u weak heart must be ex.
tremcly cautious in his exercises, and
the demonstration Of dilatation of the
healthy heart under sudden, violent,
exhausting effort which has been made
was of surprising nature. Many elm
ical observers in Germany and in this
country have detected by percussion and
observation of tho changes in the heart
beats that there is under strain and exer-
ton considerable dilatation, which con-
tinues for shorter or longer time after
the exertion is over. Ocular proof Of
this has been afforded by the Roentgen
rays. This shows not only the need Of
caution by those i'll good health, but
more particularly SO in the case Of those
who suffer from any weakness, consti-
tutional or otherwise, in this organ. -

"There are, of course. many worthy
private persons in the United States,
but what we have to think of now are
the people of that country as represent

last degree. Its courts of law and all its
civil institutions are corrupt; the meth
DDS of it's political parties are no better
