London, Sept. 12.-Although the aspect
of affairs is more peaceful, special dis
patches from johannesburg report the
greatest anxiety there, Fifteen hun

arms and considerable exodus to Cape
Colony. According to this correspondent

became tangled in the cross examination
and later said that Dreyfus had volun-
teered that If he had given anything to
foreign government he had got more inn
portant information for his own country
in return
NJ Bertillon, the famous anthropo-
metrical expert, attempted to prove by
diagram that Dreyfus must have written
the bordereau. He was Immediately con
tradicted by Charavay, who had formerly
been an ant-Dreyfus expert, but who
now testified that the handwriting was
unquestonably Esterhazy's. Telletier,
another expert, corroborated Charavay.
Colonel Cordier, who had been Sand
herr's assistant in 1894 in the intelligence
bureau said that Henry's entrance into
the Office had been followed by disor
ganization and suspicion. Henry's for
gerry, the witness declared, had for its sole
object the ruin Of Picquart, whom Henry
was anxious to supplant. He fixed the
date of the bordereau at Sept. "a to 20,
1894. This was an important point for
the defense. He further stated that the
inquiries into Dreyfus' character involv-
ed several men of the name Of Dreyfus
and showed absolutely nothing against
the prisoner except that he was hardly
entitled to wear orange blossoms on his
wedding day. He denounced Esterhazy
as having been almost openly in the en-
ploy of the German government.
NJ. Picot stated that Colonel Snyder
the Austrian military attache, had told
him that the pieces enumerated in the
bordereau were of little value; that Els

Though a majority of those in the
courtroom fully expected the verdict,
they were completely stupefied when 1t
was given, and the silence which pre-
vailed in the room and the way men
turned pale and caught their breaths
was more expressive than any other
manifestation could have been.
Colonel Jouaust read the judgment
without tremor in his voice, and APP
parently unmoved. The text OF the
judgment is as follows:

Brief Resume of the Significance Of
the Terms Used In the Trial and
the Connection of the Principal Ac-
tors Herewith.

the Terms Used In the Trial and
the Connection of the Principal Ac-
tors Herewith.
During the five and a half years that
the Dreyfus case has been prominently
before the world there have crept into
it number of terms designated to de-
scribe certain documents of Importance
bearing upon the guilt or innocence of
the accused. There are so many of
these peculiar terms employed that not
one person in 10000 understands their
significance. The facts which are given
in the little dictionary" which follows
may for that reason assist in a proper
comprehension of the case:
THE BoRDEREAU-The document found in bits
among the waste paper at the German embassy,
peoed together, and attributed to Dreyfus,
though undoubtedly Esterhazy wrote it. 1t offers
secret information and is OF course unsigned and
undated.
THE SECRET DoSSIER-A collection of more
or less private documents bearing on the case,
only one of which, unless the war office has
manufactured any more forgeries, mentions Drey-
fus by name, and this is aboutely commonplace
and innocent

vate information illegally lent him by the war
office.
THE "BLANCHE" AND "sPERANZA" TELE.
GRAMS-rwo kilograms forged by Du Patty de
Clam and Esterhazy and sent to Picquart with
the object OF "blufling" him into the belief that
a lady who was in the pilot" had given away
the "secret" that he forged the Esterhazy petit
bleu"
THE PETIT BLEU-A small blue postal card
used in the pneumatic tube service and found at
the German embassy, written by Colonel Won
Schwankoppen, the German military attache, to
Esterhazy inviting him to call. 1t was torn up.

BY following the habit of friends.

AS took my coffee in very moderate

old, and know that this gas trouble
came on about the time was twenty,
and has been with me ever since. |

of food pleasant to my taste, but with
out any appreciable benefit
All Of my friends have known OF nv
trouble, as it has been of such long
duration. Some time ago / was called
to nurse sick friend who had Postum
ROOD toffee in the pantry and used il
in place of coffee, praising it very
highly. For about a week used it as
they did, as my only beverage, and the
second day | noticed a change in nv
condition, and from that time on
never had one attack of the belching
of gas. The friends exclaimed WHY
where has your trouble gone p and
every one in the house knew that had
been entirely cured by leaving off cof.
fee and taking Postum Cereal instead,
lou can depend upon it that never
since that time has coffee passed NV
lips, and never will while | can get the
food drink Postum. My stomach has
grown so strong since that time that |
can eat anything like, and now take
great pleasure in my meals and in life
altogether send you list of friends
whom know have been greatly helped
by leaving off the use of ordinary cot
fee and using Postum Food Coffee in
its place. Some of these made very
flat, poor Postum on the start, as they
only boiled it n few minutes, but il IA

the only way to get the flavor is to boil

under the present laws are in many respects
worse than the buildings erected thirty years
ago. Tho condition OF New York city's ten
ement houses" says the report us disgrace
to this city and to this State. and although
nearly all OF our respectable workingmen and
mechanics live in such buildings. dangerous
and unsanitary conditions are allowed to pre-
vail and are growing steadily worse from year
to year
Among the amendments to the law demand
ed by the committee are these:
No tenement house not absolutely hreproof

which the halls are not light enough in the day
| time on all floors to permit an ordinary person
to easily read without the aid OF artificial light.
| shall have every door leading from the public
halls to rooms provided with ground glass
panels OF an area of not less than square
