 Gen. Mereier was minister of war when the French spy at the German embassy brought to tRe secret service of the French army the fragments of the bordereau The report was re- eeiyed by Col. Paty de Clam, head of the secret service. He was violent Jew-hater. He appealed to Bertillon. and the man who invented the Bertillon system for measuring and identifying criminals, following Paty's suggestion who in turn reflected Gen. Merciers antipathy to the Jews-s said it looked like Dreyfus' handwriting. It was re- ported. Mercier ordered that Dreyfns be arrested. Paty de Clam tried to prepare the case against him. It was not strong enough to suit Mercier, and the minister of war secured pleader whose skill was as great as Paty's in- fanny The anti-semitie party and press had doubts of Mercier, and caught

note appeared in that journal asking if it were true that an important military arrest had recently taken place. This set everybody talking, for in France anything concerning the army is con- sidered of paramount importance. Wild stories were afoat, and the excite ment reached fever heat when the news was confirmed on November 1, by the appearance of brief official communi- cation in all the papers. Dreyfus was kept in close confinement until Decem- Der G, when his counsel, M. Demange, was allowed to see him. On December ia Dreyfus was arraigned before the court-martial, which was held in the Censeilde Guerre building. opposite the tnerche-1Iidi prison. Great crowds gathered 10 see him cross the street and shouted: Death to the traitor!" The trial was secret and lasted until December 2a. when theseourt found the

Department of War.
 The secret dossier, which figures so prominently in the Dreyfus ease, is q collection of papers belonging to the war department and collected in con nectiou with the ease. These papers are said to contain proof of Dreyfus' guilt even beyond the borderean The latter was admittedly written by Ester hay. During the first Dreyfus trial this dossier (which in free transla- tion would mean record of the case'') ) was submitted to the eourt-martial in executive session, not even Dreyfus' at- torneys being permitted to be present during this examination. There are, all told, some 400 documents in this col lection. These papers are examined in secret session, but Dreyfus' attorneys are present, so they may be informed of the record of the charges based upon these papers. Secrecy is demanded by the government because it is claimed that publication would cause compli- cations with foreign governments. The secret dossier has been in exclusive control of the general staff up to the present trial, and there is, of course, no saying what it may contain. So far the entire nasty Dreyfus mess has shown so much corruption, conspiracy and forgery that the value of this lse- eret dossier is very problematicai.

That added fuel to his flame, and Mercier became the most rabid foe of the imperiled captain. The press rewarded him by declaring him the paragon of patriots.

 not even the remotest manner con nected with tho alleged selling of
 French army secrets to the Germans.
 It was fragment from some inter-

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.

1t does not require all expert to detect the
sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow
cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy
circles under the eyes, the sallow parsnip-
colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheuma-
dsm, dull pain or ache in the back or over
the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate
often, or a burning or scalding in passing it I;
if after passing there is an unsatished feeling
as if it must be at once repeated, or if the
urine has brick dust deposit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation causing stoppage, and
sometimes requiring the drawing of the
urine with instruments, or may run into
Brights Disease, the most dangerous stage of
kidney trouble.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great dis
covery of the eminent kidney and bladder
specialist, is positive remedy for such dis

Santiago de Cuba, April 21.-The
special committee appointed by the
board of trade to inquire into the mu-
nicipal tax situation made its report
at public meeting yestrday afternoon
at the San Carlos club
According to the committee General
Brookes order abolished licenses and
all tax except per cent. on the in
comes from land. At present only
seven plantations are operating in the
province, and practically no houses are
being rented in the towns. The muni-
cipal revenues have been reduced from
$4,000 to $4,000 per month in Santi-
ago, and there have been similar re-
ductions In other towns. Public works
and schools must be stopped, 5000
persons are out of employment, and
as soon as the small surplus is ex-
hausted it will be necessary to resume
the free distribution of food in order
to prevent starvation. Outlawry is
almost certain to follow.
1t was also shown in the report that,
while the actual revenues of the
island are $15,000,000 a year, Santiago
province-represent one-third of
the area and one-fifth of the popula-
tion and collecting $500, 900 a month
receives of this total only $4,000 from
Havana, and moreover is not allowed
to collect additional taxes of self
imposed nature.

Bridgeton, N. j., April 21--A minia-
ture strike was yesterday added to the
big strike of bottle blowers now pre-
vailing. Fifty tending and swapping
up boys at the Bridgeton glass works
struck for higher wages. The union
officials have not yet been able to per-
suade the boys to return to work. The
company is able to run only four shops
out of seventeen. The company had
started up the works on a union basis
last Monday, having acceded to the
blowers demands. There were no
other developments yesterday in the
big strike. The Cumberland glass
company has 60 non-union men and
boys blowing bottles. The company
officials claim they will have many
more at work next week.

evening for participating in an assault
upon non-union negroes employed on
the Brambleton sewers, were dis
charged yesterday, the union having
entered into a written contract not to
allow any of it's members to interfere
with non-union laborers hereafter,
and to prosecute all who violated this
agreement. About 40 men, largely
increased force, were at work today
on sewer construction, and no further
trouble is anticipated there Work was
resumed on the Swells Point electric
line with about 100 men, nearly all
white. None of the union strikers
were taken back.

passing her home, which is on one Of
the routes from the Althouse home to
the centre of the city, soon after the
shooting of Saxton. This evidence was
intended to corroborate a witness who
testified on Wednesday that man in
black was seen approaching the Alt
house home. Newton George, the IT.
year-old son of the accused, testified
as to the intimate relations between
his mother and Saxton. The defense
has nearly concluded it's case.
