DREYFUS AND ESTERHAZY.


mt the Latter'S Expense.
Paris, April 1S.-Contnuing the pub
lica ton of the evidence given in the
Dreyfus revision proceedings before the
court Of cessation, The Figaro prints
further testimony of Colonel Picquart,
In the course of which the witness. re-
ferring to the alteration in the petit
bleu, said he never retouched the pho
tograph. The alteration, he declared,
was made after he left the information
bureau. He did not know Esterhazy be-
fore he got the petit bleu. When he re-
ceived that document he inquired about
Esterhazy, and the report he received
was unfavorahle. An investigation
showed that he was in straitened cir
cumstances and was doing shady things
and had tried to get possession of his
wifes dover.
Colonel Picquart asserted that as soon
as he saw Esterhazy's handwriting he
was struck by its similarity to that Of
the bordereau. He re-examined the Sc
cret dossier and found the document
equally applicable to Esterhazy and
Dreyfus. He knew that Colonel Henry
and his subordinates were spying on
him and accused Colonel Henry of be-
ing the author of all the Vaccination
against him since 1896. He did not
know, he said, whether Colonel Henry
had intercourse with Esterhazy.
When he showed General Gonse the
similarity of the writing of Esterhazy
and that in the bordereau, General
Gonse was opposed to taking the opin-
lon of experts. He noticed in the let
ters that his family We're writing to
Dreyfus indications that early steps
would be taken to secure a revision of
the case. The press campaign in favor
of revision coincided in time with his
telling General de Boisdeffre that he
was convinced of the innocence of Drey-
fus. Colonel Picquart said he was
struck by the silence of Colonel du Patty
de Clam, who was never mentioned in |
the campaign.
The colonial information bureau sent |
him a letter addressed to Dreyfus |
which was similar to that sent to Ester |
hazy by yelled lady. But later he dis
covered it was a forgery.

Pence Conference tsOsSiU.

Berlin, April 1S.-Although the United
States ambassador here, Mr.. Andrew u.
White, has not received formal instruc-
tions on the subject, the officials of the
embassy suppose the American commits
sion which will represent the ITnitod
States at The Hague peace conference
will carefully abstain from mixing in
purely European questions, but will take
an earnest part in the discussion of the
application of arbitration and improve
ments In the Geneva rules for the pro-
lection of field hospitals and that they
will urge the principles the United
States advanced a the Paris conference
of 1855, coupling unanimity as to bellig-
erent noncontraband property seizure
on the high seas with pledge to alb
stain from priVateering. This the pow
ers then refused to adopt but they may
now be willing to consider it.

VIII Let the Soldiers Return,

Washington, April 1S--Orders have
been issued to General Brooke to dis
charge men in the regular army in Cuba
who had enlisted only for the war with
Spain. Considerable complaint has been
made because these men were not al
lowed to return home, and those whose
applications were refused have inter-
ested United States senators and others
to procure their discharge. Under the
law increasing the regular army for the
war with Spain there was a provision
that the enlistment should be only dur
ing the war.

How the Doe.o. Go. Hi. Clock.

From the Philadelphia Record: In
the hallway of a Philadelphia doctors
house stands a fine example Of
grandfather's clock, the possession of
which the medical man owes entirely
to a pinch of SNUFF. Some years ago
the doctor in question set his heart
upon such timepiece, and devoted
two of his vacations to clock hunting.
He visited many New England farm
houses without success. as old furni-
ture has been pretty well gathered up
by the dealers down East" and then
carried his quest into Delaware and
Maryland, where he found many old
clocks, but none of them for sale. He
was about to return home disconsolate,
when he was called into consultation
over a patient dying of quinsy. The
resources of medicine had been ex
hausted. when the Quaker City doctor
hethought himself of an old snuff box
he had picked up during his wander
ings, in which still fingered modicum
of snuff, pungent as of yore. With
this powdered tobacco the doctor as
sailed the nostrils OF the sick man.
who, sneezing violently. broke the alb
scess in his throat that was choking
him to death. Stimulants were admin
istered and the sick man recovered.
The Philadelphia doctor left the place
the morning after this remarkable op-
Grafton. but he had not been home a
week before the grateful Marylander
sent him a grandfather's clock, accom-
panied by card upon which was writ
ten: This clock, which struck the
hour of my birth. would have also
marked the hour of my death If your
skill and knowledge had not stayed the
hand of the destroyer"

ROPE MAKING IN MANILA.
A Good Product Turned Out with the
Most Primitive Machinery.


Most Primitive Machinery.
From the Chicago Record: Rope
making is an industry at which many
work. The machinery used is primi-
tive, but the finished article the work.
ers turn out Is smooth and strong.
There is no way OF cheating in this
work. The hemp comes in bales, as
it leaves the plantations. It is taken
out to the street, where the work is
done and where the spools are, fer the
first process. Time and practice are
needed to learn the knack OF keeping
the reel going around by simple twist
of the wrist. The operator backs slow
ly away as the strands grow in length,
and when he has gone as far as he
deems necessary he begins to wind up
all the cord that he has spun. For
the next operation twelve spools OF
this cord and another machine are
used. The machine has twelve cranks
at one end and two at the other. When
the strands are laid, If the rope be a
long one. supports are erected about
fifty feet apart. These are to keep the
strands from twisting and tangling as
they are spun about Two men stand
at the upper end of the walk and face
the man who is turning the twelve
strands. Each has two cone-shaped
pieces of wood in his hands, and in
these cones are six grooves, through
which the strands run. The operator
at the strand end turns his wheel to
the right and the men at the other
end reverse the operation. The strands
begin to twist and grow smaller and
harder, and at last the two men with
the cones start slowly toward the
strand man. If there are tangles III
front OF them, they separate the snarl
with their toes In front are twelve
strands. Behind the advancing oper-
ators are two. 1t is slow walk from
one end to the other, and it is hard
work to keep the strands whirling and
the machinery going until the two
ropes are complete. When all is done
the finished object is rope the size of
be made, the operation is repeated with
as many strands as desired, according
to the thickness of the rope wanted.
The process Is the same, but cones
with larger grooves are used. The
rope may be made of any length In
fact, as long as the hemp holds out the
operators can splice and splice indef-
nitely. The rope is rolled up in great
coils when it is finished for shipment,
and is then wrapped in coarse cloth
manufactured from the same fiber.

Am,.bi,ltx and pordIp...

Philadelphia Inquirer: lately heard
an amusing story OF a lady who, hav-
ing rendered some small help to a
friend. was described with enthusiasm
by that friend as being most kind and
unselfish and devoted to the service of
others. A girl who heard this imme-
diately drew a mental picture of thin.
pale, subdued-looking creature in a
clinging, nun-like black dress with
bands of smooth. fat hair parted in
the middle. and on being introduced a
few days later to cheerful person in
fashionably-m gown and with
vigorously curly hair. she was SO TAX
en- aback as to be scarcely able to
speak. Why should kindly DISPOSE

to be, with the suppression of all that
Is pleasing in outward appearance?
The idea must surely be that the very.

of dress often involves far more care
than to follow fashions in moderation.

act OF smiling or laughing, and the

Simply Mr. Spencer.

Mr.. Herbert Spencer's emergence
from the habitual and all but enforced
retirement Of his old age-he is nearly
eighty-to protest against war in South
Africa. recalls the interesting Tact that,
despite all his high achievements in
philosophy and literature. he is still
simply Mr.. Spencer. with no honorary
titles or academic degrees. In that re-
spect he stands alone. Darwin, Car
lyle and Ruskin accepted doctorates;
Tennyson became a peer; Max Muller
has been knighted: and the late Baron
Bunsen had so many orders and de-
grees that he did not know what to do
with them. or course 1t is through his
own volition that Mr.. Spencer remains
unadorned. The highest honors have
been offered to him, by universities
and by sovereigns, only to be declined.
His reason is the generous one that for
