DReYFUs RESTS QUIETLY.
Courtesies Extended to the Prisoner
and His Faithful Wife.

Rennes. France. July 4.-Since the
arrival here of Captain Dreyfus little
or nothing else has been talked of but
the probable outcome of the next
court martial which is set for the early
part of August, and nearly all of the
city's population of. close on to 10000
people are of one opinion-that Capt.
Dreyfus will be a free man again at
the conclusion of the trial.
Captain Dreyfus rests quietly in his
cell. but is constantly watched by Off
GERS of the prison. He is, however.
given more than the ordinary attention
usually extended to prisoners and the
courtesy of allowing his wife to visit
him has been granted on three differ
ent occasions since his arrival here.
The long confinement on Devils Isl
and has made n great change for the
worse in his physical condition, and he
has also aged perceptibly.
The first meeting in the prison be-
tween the husband and wife. who had
not seen each other for four years, was
a most touching incident, and the Off
Ger in charge walked to a respectful
distance and left them alone clasped
in each others arms, where tears OF
Joy bathed the checks of the innocent
and loving words were whispered IL
the ears of devoted man and wife.
