An Injurious Benefactton.

It is well known that missionaries III
China do great deal in the way of al
leviating suffering among those who
cannot obtain the services of a doctor.
Quite recently a Chinaman lost his
sight, and some sympathetic neighbors
came and enlisted the services of the
local missionary in his behalf The
missionary found his patient suffering
from cataract and succeeded in remov-
ing 1t and restoring sight to the China
man. The obliging neighbors then,
however, represented to the missionary
that he had robbed the man of the
means of earning his living Che was a
blind" beggar) and that in future he
would be expected to take him into his
service and keep him Wen doing is
difficult in China.-Petit Marselaise.

Farmers who i've in the vicinity Of
Muskego lake, in southeastern Wiscon-
sin, derive profitable income from
the lake each winter by harvesting
hay on the ice. The shafiowness Of
the water in the lake bed causes the
grass growing on the bottom to project
considerably above the surface, and
when the ice forms the hay can be
cut with great ease, though 1t cannot

SHOOTING AFFRAY.

Late yesterday afternoon serious
difficulty occurred in Charlottesville,
in which three persons were wounded,
two of them seriously. They were
Charles E. Joseph, a merchant, OF
Batesville, and Officers I. S. Hall and Z.
E. Stratton, of the Charlottesville po-
lice force. A fourth bullet struck Mr..
Fox, of Yancey's Mill, but its force was
spent and it did not harm him. The
ARRAY occurred at time when many
people where on the street. Officer
Hall, it is alleged, has been in the habit
of visiting young woman in the Abe
marie Telephone Exchange during
business hours. This the superinten-
dent, J. Frank Kelley, objected to-.
Finally he ordered Hall out of the
place. Hall slapped Kelley before
leaving. Kelley, it is said, appealed to
the Mayor for protection against future
assault. Later in the day Kelley and
Mr.. Joseph were driving down Main
street, when Hall arrested the former,
who, however, did not stop until hailed
again. The officer then assaulted Kel
ley, striking him several times in the
face. Joseph took the reins from Kel-
ley and started the horse with view
of separating the combatants. Kelley,
then drew his pistol and began shoot.
ing, his first bullet striking Hall in the
shoulder and infiicting serious wound.
Officer Stratton, who was hurrying to
the scene, was struck in the wrist by
the second bullet, flesh wound result
ing. Hall returned the fire. missing
his aim, and seriously wounding Mr..
Joseph near the heart. Kelley was ar.
rested and taken before the Mayor.
Upon report from the physicians who
examined Halls wounds Kelley was
admitted to bail in 81 900.

Pardon OF DrcYfnS.

Paris, Sept. 19.-Captain Alfred
Dreyfus, twice convicted of selling the
army 8, crets of France to q foreign
power, will be free man in few days.
1t was officially announced after the
cabinet council today that it had been
decided to pardon Dreyiu5 and that
President Loubet would issue the for
nal papers in the case in few days.
The announcement that pardon had
been decided upon, came after q pro
tracted meeting of the cabinet at which
the case was discussed in ali its bear
ings. 1t is generally believed that
Captain Dreyfus will be secretly liberst-
ed and struggled across the frontier by
mis- friends. When this is accomplished
the news OF his actual liberation will
be made public.
The announcement of the pardon
created little surprise as intimations
had been thrown out for several days
that such q course had practically been
decided upon.
While Dreyfus had been pardoned,
be has not been indicated. He will
simply be freed from prison.
The plans OF Dreyfus and his friends
are not definitely known, but it is be.
ieved he will 60 to England and live
in quiet until he can recruit his
strength. Meantime his friends will
continue actively at work TO secure his
final vindication.
The decision Of the government to
pardon Dreyfus was reached some day s
ago after consultation with his family
at Rennes, who have consented to with
draw the appeal made against the YER
dict of the court martial. For long
time his family and friends were IN
willing to accept pardon on these con-
ditions, but were finally persuaded that
nothing else was possible at present,
and that freedom was necessary to
save the martyrs life.
The cost of the trial at Rennes is
placed at $4,000. This is exclusive of
counsels fees.
Rennes, Sept. 19.-The news of the
Dreyfus pardon was received here at
, o'clock this afternoon. 1t caused
great emotion but no disorder resulted.
Captain Dreyfus is still in the military
prison here.
Paris, Sept. 19.--It is both asserted
and denied here that Captain Dreyfus's
destination is Folkestone, England.
Some of his friends, however, are in
clined to think that he will 60 farther
away from France than that.
Crowds are thronging the Boule-
Yards this evening discussing the prey-
fls pardon. Many conflicting reports
are ahoat. One story has it that Pres
dent Loubet signed the pardon yesler-
day and that Dreyfus has already pass-
ed beyond the frontier. The report,
of course, is improbable, but is taken
seriously by many Ffenchmen. Absol
lutely no disorder has occurred.
Paris, Sept. ia friend of the Drey-
fus family informed your correspcn-
dent this evening that Dreyfus would
leave Rsnnes tonight. Inquiry at Ran
mes fails to confirm this statement. Mad |
anne Dreyfus call on the prisoner this
afternoon. II was stated at Rennes
that Dreyfus would not leave for sew
eral dav5.
