M. Coupers said: II have no doubt

code, Dreyfus must undergo degrade

captain in the army and he appeared
before the court in uniform. That he

confirmation Of their view, but they are
mistaken. He was sentenced to ten
years, not because that happens to be
double his time on DEVILS island, but
because according to the military code
the recording of two votes in his favor
fixes the term of detention. Had the
verdict been unanimous he would have
been sentenced to 20 years. Those pro-
Tossing to have ascertained since the
verdict the opinion Of the judges declare
that the vote of five to two was not
given by mutual agreement, but be-

from conviction Of his innocence. The
present procedure is the application for
revision, signed by Dreyfus yesterday.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Dr. Altree of
the marine hospital service reports a
death from yellow fever at Port Tampa
City, Fla, and says the autopsy renders
it certain that the original diagnosis of

are under observation and small quar-
antine station has been established. He
adds that house to house inspection
has been ordered, but that no quaran-

is also at Port Tampa, says there is a
panicky feeling there.

VERDICT OF GUILTY
1T is RENDERED BY THE DREYFUS
COURT-MARTlAL AT RENNES.

His Five Years on Devils Island May Be
Held to Discharge the Requirements of
the Second Sentence of Ten Years.
Plan for n New Revision.
RENNEs, Sept. 11.-Dreyfus has borne
the terrible shock of his conviction with
marvellous fortitude, one might almost
say with unnatural calm. Saturday he
seemed stupefied when M. Labori COM
municated to him the verdict, but he
has since rallied. He passed a quiet
night and rose when his orderly brought
him water at a. M, as he did during
the trial when it was necessary.
Madame Dreyfus and Matthieu Drey-
fus, his brother, visited him during the
course of the afternoon, his brother SUBJ
sequently leaving for Paris. The ap-
pication to the court of revision was
taken to him at noon by M. Labori's as
sistant and he signed it.
He has spoken but little, though he
has seemed in better spirits than might
have been anticipated. The meeting
with his wife was naturally very affect
ing, but both held up as we'll as posi-

Comment on the yerdict.

PARIS, Sept. 1.-THE revisionist
press comments on the verdict with
deepest indignation, declaring that the
battle between the civil and military
courts will continue until the victory
rests with the court of cessation. The
Seicle has opened a subscription to erect
an expiatory monument in front of the
palace of justice in Rennes to remind
future generations of this outrage on
justice. The Temps, referring to the
rumors that the court martial signed a
recommendation to mercy, but only as
regards from military rank, says the
mere mention Of extenuating circum-
stances proves that the judges had
doubts, of which the accused should
have received the benefit and it urges
the revisionists to remember RI da,"a,,-l

Quite an extensive telegraph
system exists in Japan, comprising
large number of small villages,
many having but few inhabitants.
The number of lines between the
principal towns and villages has
greatly increased during the past
few years. Last year an impor-
tant Geographic event was the lay
ing of the submarine cable between
Japan and Formosa, distance of
1868 knots. This was laid by the
Japanese cable steamer "Okinowa
Maru." The cable has seven
strand copper core weighing 1870
pounds per knot, and has a capaci-
ty of 400 "kana," or signals, per
minute.

Don't Be A Knoocker.

If your neighbor is prosperous,
let him prosper. Don't grunt,
growl or grumble. Say good
word for him and let it go at that.
Don't be knocker. Your turn
will come. No one man is the
whole show. If you see the town
is moving along nicely, feel good
about it. Help things along
shove little; push. Try to get
some of the benefit yourself. Don't
stand around like chilly old cada-
ver Don't waste your time feeling
sore because some fellow has a
little sand and sense than you have.
Do little hustling yourself. Don't
be knocker.
If you can say good word, say
it like a prince. If you are full Of
bile and disposed to say something
mean, keep your mouth shut. Don't
be knocker. No man ever made
a dollar by knocking. No man
ever got rich or happy minding
everybody's business but his own.
No man ever helped himself up
permanently by knocking his neigh
bors down. Give up kind word;
give it literally. 1t won't cost you
a cent, and you may want one YOUR
self some day. You may have
thousands today and next year be
without the price of shave. So
don't be knocker. You can't
afford it. 1t wont pay. There's
nothing in it. If you want to
throw something at somebody,
throw cologne or roses-don't
throw brickbats or mud! Don't
be a knocker. If you must kick,
60 around behind the barn and
take good kick at yourself. For,
if you feel that way. you're the man
that needs kicking. But, whatever
you do, don't be knocker!

for the "greaser" yard master to

Here was Hamilton, the fireman,

There were hints of the telescoping

Boys, do you want to know why

blue eyes.
The crowd assented, and Eusey

the Midland. Then they separated
the Midland keeping straight up
the valley to Silver Mite, while the
Grande swung to the north through

South Park country.
There had been a wasll-out up
