AN exchange prints the following:
The great want OF this age is men.
Men who are not for sale. Men who
are honest, sound from centre to cir
cumference, true to the hearts core.
Men who will condemn wrong in
friend or foe, in themselves as well as
others. Men whose conscience are
steady as the needle to the pole. Men
who will stand for right if the heaven
totters and the earth reel. Men who
can tell the truth and look the truth,
and not look the world and the devil
right in the eye. Men that neither
brag nor run. Men who can have
courage without whistling for it, and
Joy without shouting to bring it. Men
in whom the current of everlasting
life runs still and deep and strong.
Men too large for sectaran limits an d
too strong for sectarian bonds. Men
who do not strive. nor cry, nor cause
their voices to be heard in the streets,
but who will not fail nor be discoura-
ged, till judgment DO set on earth.
Men who know their duty and do it.
Men who mind their own bust
ness. Men who are not too lazy to
work nor too proud to be poor. Men
who are willing to eat what they have
earned and wear what they have paid
for.

leases were just about equal, and the

But the nine days ended last Wednes-

leases exceeding renewals by from
$4,000 to $4,000 daily, with one Or
two exceptions. In all new mortgages
filed the rate OF interest was generally
placed at 8 or 7 per cent, while last
year 8 per cent was the lowest rate
known for ordinary sums. Eight per
cent was reached this year several
times but it was made on doubtful
outside property, not on city or subur-

DATES OF THE DREYFUs DRAMA


1t may be interesting to many
readers who are carefully following
the proceedings at Rennes to place in
order the dates OF the leading events
of the extraordinary Dreyius drama.
1t was on October Is, 1894, that
Captain Alfrel Dreyfus was arrested,
charged with the crime of furnishing
vital information concerning the
French army and French defences to
foreign power In the following
month OF December he was tried by
court martial, and on December 90,
sentence of condemnation was passed.
On January 5, 1895, he was degraded
and disgraced in the presence Of the
army, the stripes being cut from his
uniform after the finding OF the court
martial was read. Not long after this
in secret and hurried manner he was
removed from France and confined on
the notorious lie Du Diable, says the
Chronicle.
On November Is, 1897, Esterhazy
was publicly denounced for his share
in the Dreyfus conviction, but court
martial cleared him. A few months
later however, early in 1898, the agita
ton caused by the Dreyius sympathi-
zers began to bear fruit Headed by
the Jealous lola they started vigor-
Gus campaign on behalf of the man
whom they firmly believed was the
victim of military conspiracy. For
time they made but little Roadway,
but on August 81, 1898, Lieutenant
Colonel Henry confessed to certain
forgeries that were used as corrobora-
tive evidence against Dreyfus and then
committed suicide. On March 81, 1899
the court of cessation listened to the
appeal fof a revision and the testi-
mony OF the hearing, clearly establish
ing the existence of fraud and forgery
in the proceedings against Drcyfus,
was published to France and the world
through the columns of the Paris
Figaro. On May 81 the court, the
highest tribunal in France, gave the
following decision:
"The court quashes and annuls the
sentence of condemnation passed De-
cember %, 1894, on Alfred Dreyfus by
the first court martial of Paris, and
sends back the accused before the
court martial of Rennes, to be tried on
the following issue:
as Dreyfus guilty OF having in
1894 instigated plots or held commun-
ication with n foreign power, Or one
OF its agents, with a view to engage it
to commit hostilities and to wage war
against France, or, in order to furnish
it with the means to do so, by betray-
ing thereto the notes and documents
enumerated in the bordereau?"
On June 5 the chamber OF deputies
directed that this decree of the court
should be officially placarded through
out the republic. Dreyfus left Guiana
for France few days later. On July
l he landed. On August Z the second
court martial began at Rennes.
