surrendered by Mexico.
The sheriff and prisoner were accom-
panied east by State Ranger Matthews,
who captured Keeton at Juarez last
May.
Keeton is not bad looking man and
made quite favorable impression on
the jaiIers and others who came in con-
tact with him while he was prisoner
here. He is accused of being one of
Pacific train at Coleman Junction and
killed the fireman. His brother is
now serving sentence of 80 years in
the Texas penitentiary as penalty for
the same crimes.
BAD MAN.
Although the prisoner does not look
like desperate man he is regarded as
such by officers and today as soon as he
was taken from his cell the bracelets
clicked on his wrists as they were
locked by Sheriff Knox.
Ranger Matthews, who is regarded
as upacquainted with fear, says he
would not trust Keeton in the least.
In describing the capture of the out
law at Juarez, he said that Keeton
would certainly have resisted arrest
and precipitsted killing, had not

THEENFEEBLED MARTYR
Will Be Taken Secretly
Across The Frontier And
Live Quietly Until His
Strength Returns.

PARIS, Sept. 19.-It is officially an
nouncHd today that Dreyfus's pardon
had been agreed upon in principle, but
will not be signed for several days
yet owing to formslities.
PARDON, NOT vINDICATION.
PARIS, Sept. 19.-It is the present
intention that Alfred Dreyfus, twice
. convicted of selling the army's secrets
of France to foreign powers, will be a
free man in few days.
1t was officially announced. after a
decided to pardon Dreyfus and that
Loubet would issue the formal papers
in the case in few days.
The announcement that q pardon had
been decided upon came after pro-
tracted meeting of the cabinet, at
which the case was discussed in all it's
bearings.
1t is generally believed that Dreyfus
will be liberated and smuggled across
the frontier by his friends. When
this is accomplished the news of his
actual liberation will be made public.
The announcement of a pardon as
created little surprise. as the intima-
tion. has been thrown out for several
days that such course had been
decided upon.
While Dreyfus has been psrdoned,
he has not been vindicated. He will
simply be freed from the prison.
The plans of Dreyfus and his friends
are not exactly known, but it is be-
lieved that he and his family will live
quietly until he can recruit his
strength.
Meantime the friends of the con-
victed man will work to secure his
final vindication.
The decision of the government to
pardon Dreyfus was reached some days
ago after q consultation with his family
at Rennes, who have consented to with
draw the appeal made against the ver-
dict of the courtmartial.
For a long while the family and
friends were unwilling to accept par
don on these conditions, but were fin
ally persuaded that nothing else was
possible at present and that immediate
freedom was necessary to save the
martyrs life.
NEWS OFTHE PARDON RECEIVED AT
RENNES.
RENNES, Sept. 19.-The news of the |
Dreyfus's pardon has been received
here at O'Clock this afternoon. It has
caused great excitement, but has not
resulted in disorder. Dreyfus is still
in the military prison.
DREYFUS REPORTED TO BE ACROSS
THE BORDER. |
PARIS, Sept. I9.-Crowds are thrOng- !
ing the boulevards this evening dis |
cussing the Dreyfua pardon. There are
many conflicting reports of the affair.
One story has it that President Lou
bet signed the pardon yesterday and
that Dreyfus has already passed beyond
the frontier.
The report of course, improbable,
but it is taken seriously by many
Frenchmep. Absolutely no disorder
has occurred.
DREYFUS'S DESTINATION.
PARIS. Sept. 19.-The assertion is
denied here that Dreyfus's destination
is Folk estone, England.
Some of his friends however, are
inclined to think that he will get furth-
er away from France than that point.

WANTS A NEW RELIGION.
Government of Japan at Present
Much Drawn to Everything
English.

1t has been stated on pretty good au-
thority that the leading statesmen of
Japan are thinking of making Chris
tianity the established religion of the
country, says the Evangelist. When the
government of Japan was changed and
the mikado assumed his kingly author
ty one of the first steps taken was the
endowment and establishment of the
Shinto religion: And Shintoism is so
broad and comprehensive belief that
t has frequently allowed Christian
services to be held in it's temples.
TO the American Episcopal church
belongs the honor of being the first
Protestant body to commence Chris
tan work in Japan, for Bishop Will
Hams established himself at Tokyo as
Early as 1859 and translated portions
Of the prayer book and Bible into the
japanese tongue. Should Japan adopt
christianity as national faith it is not
likely that it will take church exactly
TO the pattern Of either British or Amer.
lean Christianity, but the Episcopal
missionaries in Japan believe that the
holding Of the Japanese mind with
'egard to Protestant Christianity rests
very largely with the Anglican commu-
nlty' especially as the Japanese govern.
ment is at present much drawn to ey

continuing my examination" said
Sig. Marucchi, Il came some time since
upon ililie drawing, 15xS inches. It
was or. the wall of room in the sol
diers' Quarters in the house of Tiber-
Jus, says Ainslee's Magazine.
THE ines IN it were almost complete
~ obliterated. Nevertheless, by the aid
Of powerful glasses, l thought 1 dis
cerned pictorial reproduction of some
striking event. There seemed to be
two crosses with ladders leaning
against them. On one of these a SOL
der was mounting, carrying something
like tablet. Above the transverse bar
OF this same cross was another soldier
with u hammer. Beneath:was figure
dragging another toward the cross.
Yet another figure was raising ladder
to the second cross, and on a third lad
der soldier was mounting. Two ropes
hang from the cross beams which unite
the crosses. Names are written near
the figures. One is Pilatus or Piletus
(written Piletus). High above the
drawing is word resembling Crestus,
and near it is hammer, which, as is
known, was the emblem of the cruel
fiXion.
"All the circumstances brought me to
imagine for moment that might be
in the presence of a picture Of the cruci-
fixion of our Savior, and possibly even
drawn by soldiers who had assisted
at the event. Many others were of the
same opinion, though there were COM
petent authorities who read in it d
different Specification. They suggest
ed, for instance, the launching of a
ship, or the representation Of an aero
batic performance. One thing is now
clear, the large inscription over the
drawing can be no part of the idea
therein represented. 1t is the work of
many hands, written at various periods,
and composed almost exclusively of
libertine expressions"
