PARIS, Sept. 23.-The proclamation
Of the Minister of War, General de Gal
lifet, TO the army, declaring the Drey-
fus incident closed, has excited keen
opposition among the Dreyfusards,
Radicals and Socialists. 1t is rumored
that an attempt will be made to GUST
the Minister of War from the Cabinet.
1t is said he issued the proclamation
without consulting his fellow Ministers.
Some of the papers criticising him are
in close touch with several of the Min
listers, and General de Gallifet is cred
tied with saying:
"They want to get rid OF me. / am
quite prepared to go. But don't mean
to go alone. Either all of them disap-
pear with me or 1 stop where 1 am"

HISTORIC PLACE WHERE
DREYFUS is RECUPERAT!NG

The little city to which Captain Alfred
Dreyfus has gone to recuperate his
physical and mental health so wasted
and tried during his five years imprison-
ment on Devils Island and seven weeks
batting by the Military Court of Reunes,
is most admirably adapted to this pur-
pose. It is situated In the valley of the
Auzon River, an affluent of the Rhone,
near the foot of Mount Vintoux and about
fifteen miles from the famous city OF
Avignon. Its scenery is unsurpassed in
its soft, yet picturesque. beauty, as IS
also its climate, than which there is none
finer even in the south Of France.

~ ERLIN, Sept 2S.-The Dreyfus
excitement has largely subsided
X here since the pardon, though
many papers express the beuet
that the mystery surrounding
the case will one day be removed. Oth-
ers saw the end is wholly unsatisfac-
tory. In military and diplomatic cir
cles the idea seems to prevail that
Drevfus was indeed a spy, but for Rus
sia- This has found utterance in many
papers
An interesting outcome of the case is
the fact that the Emperor, who has
been deeply stirred by the revelations
made at Rennes Of the espionage sys-
tenn between France and Germany, OF
the extent and elaborateness OF which
he has hitherto been ignorant, has In
structed General Won Hahnke, chief OF
his private military cabinet, TO thor
oughly investigate how and to what eX-
tent the system can be abolished or re-
duced to a minimum.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press learns reliably that his Majesty
above all, was startled by the fact that
the military attaches of both countries,
while personally men of the incest
sense of honor, had been so deeply in
volved in the scandal, and he instructed
General Won Hahnke to ascertain II 1t
were possible for Germany TO take the
initiative in abolishing extraterritor-
fatty for attaches and other members OF
the embassies, thus abolishing the
most heinous and dangerous form Of
espionage.

MRS, KNUDSON'S BODY
FOUND IN THE RIVER
The Supposition Is That She Com
mitted Suicide While Tempo
rarilv Insane.


REDDING, Sept. 23.-The distracted rel
atives of Mrs Louisa D. Knudson were
relieved to-day by the finding Of the body
of that unfortunate woman in the river.
Even the knowledge Of death itself was
a relief compared with the uncertainty
that existed concerning the lady's fate.
While suffering from temporary mental
alteration as the result of sickness and
worry Mrs. Knudson left her home on
Thursday, September Ia. Since the night
of her departure she has never been seen
alive. She undoubtedly committed sui
eide by drowning.
A very thorough search was made for
the missing woman, but all TO no avail
until Saturday afternoon when Carey
Chapman discovered the body floating
down the river at point about two miles
below town. The .sorrowing relatives have
the sympathy Of the entire community.
The funeral will be held at 10 o'clock Sun
day morning and will be very generally
attended.

LOVE-MAKING OF OWLS.
These Birds Manifest Devotion
Rarely Met with Among Feath-
cred Creatures.

Perched on the same bough, on the
same wall or ruin, the lady owl, though
usually much bigger and stronger than
her mate, looks the picture of demure
coyness, if a little excited inwardly,
like girl at her first ball. But the male
owl is very much in earnest; for mo-
ment or two he remains quite still, then
he puifs out all his feathers, bows and
utters a softened scream. followed by
modified hiss that is full of tender
meaning, and then he nudges her with
his wing; she opens her big eyes very
wide, and gives him a sidelong glance
that may be hint, for, horrible to re-
late, from the depths of his interior he
instantly brings up half-digested
mouse, and, although she is as full of
similar rodents and stag beetles as
she can comfortably hold, she opens
her mouth and accepts the fragrant
gift with a murmur of satisfaction
that speaks volumes of love and thanks.
Then, when the dainty morse has been
disposed of, they caress each other ten
DERBY for a moment or two, and then
sit closely pressed to each others sides
while the process of assimilation is per-
fected, after which they simultaneous
ly fit away into the moonlight. on
noiseless wing, in search of further
prey.
Not only do the owls regard each
other with a devotion that is rarely
met with among more favored crea-
lures, they positively idolize their i'll
favored offspring, for whose sake they
willingly risk not only liberty, but life.
A young owl is not an attractlve-look-
ing object from our point Of view, but
in its fathers and mothers eyes it is
perfection, and the way they wait Oh
it, cuddle and caress it, feed it and
keep it clean, must be seen to be be-
lieved.-Pall Mall Magazine.

The way the native Filipinos and
Cinnamon wash clothes was something
new for our boys. The Filipinos gener-
ally leave the washing to their women,
but Cinnamon can often be seen doing
the same work. Along the stream will
often be seen as many as dozen women
washing clothes, wringing them out or
pounding the clothes on a convenient
stone. Very little pounding seems to
make the clothes passably clean.-St
