The Randolph Herald and News sptly
remarks: 1.-The secret of Gov. Pages
strength with the press is his uniform cour-
tesy, both personally and ia businsss
way, to the publishers, and their faith that
he is man OF strength, ability aud char
acter. Ii is not only their opinion, but Of
the people, as well, as events will show"
This is putting the whole thing in nut
shell Ne ppeic man has treated :he prs1s
of the state with such uniform courtesy
and consideration, and when he has the
reins OF government the daily papers fare
no better than the weeklies. During his
term as governor all important announce
ments to be made through the press reached
the country ofice as soon as the city office,
marked contrast to the practice Of his
successors in office. Courtesy combined
with energy and ability will grace a con-
gresham equally as well as governor.

now and then the Sultan, when he is
taken off his guard, utters "Merci

in French, which shows that his pre-
tended inability to converse in French
is like Dom Paul's professed ignorance
Of the English tongue.

DEATH OF MRS. WEBSTER.

Mrs. Harriet E., widow of the late Eli
phalet Webster, died on Sunday afternoon,
August 27, in the 91st year OF her age, later
an illness Of several weeks duration. Mrs.
Webster was native of Woodstock, Vt,
and was born July s, 1909. The greater
part Of her life was passed in Bellows Falls,
Keysville, N. Y, and in this town, where
for the last 80 years or more she has made
her home. She has also lived at different
times in Fitchburg, and Bartonsville. She
was twice married. Her first husband was
Joseph Parks, whose death occurred about
1861. Mrs. Webster was woman of
strong individuality and maintained during
her long lie, both her mental and physical
vigor in an unwonted degree. She was
naturally of ready wit, brig ght in conversa-
ton and of keene intellect, evfncing an in
telligent interest in all the affairs of the
day. She was great reader until in later
years partial loss of eyesight deprived her
OF this pleasure. Such admirable qualities
attracted many friends, and the respect of
all was hers by right of these. Funeral
services were held on Tuesday at o'clock
in the afternoon at the residence of Jarvis
Kinds, where her death occurred. Rev.D.
L. Sanford, rector OF the Episcopal church
in Bellows Falls, ,officiated. On Thursday

The Dreyfus Trial.

Rennes, Aug. 25.-When the Dreyfus
court martial opened Colonel Jouaust or
dered that the evidence given by M. Penot
friend of the late Colonel Sandherr, chiel
of the intelligence department, be read by
the clerk Of the court. 1t was to the effect
that Sandher said the Dreyfus family Of
fered him 10000 francs on condition he
would clear Dreyfus.
Demange, for the defense, disposed Of
the allegations by reading the actual note
written on the subject by Sandherr, there.
by proving that the Colonels remarks
had been distorted, Dreyfus' brothers
having only said "We are convinced Of
the innocence of our brother and will
spend our entire fortune to discover the
truth"
The testimony of the first witness of the
day, M. Linolle, former officer of the
government, was also in favor of Drey.

by court martial Of Captain Dreyfus on
the charge of treason was resumed at the
Lycee Wednesday.

Informed by newspaper man that Gen.
eral Roget yesterday received documents
from Esterhazy, now in London. The
counselor was much interested and CLEAN
ed all the information possible. On the
arrival in court Of Roget it was noticed
he carried bulky envelope containing the
documents referred to. Outside this there
was no incident worth noting at the open
ing of the proceedings.
The session began with the testimony Of
minor witnesses, including Comptroller
Roy and Major Drevielle. The latter, who
is employed in the German section Of the
second bureau of the war Office, deposed
that Dreyfus, while on the general staff,
could have had access unperceived to doc
uments during certain hours of the day.
The prisoner, replying, admitted he was
present during these hours, but explained
his presence was connected with his du-
ties.

Agreed With the sultan.

New York, Aug. 25.-The Manila cor
respondent of the Herald, describing the
agreement with the sultan of Sulu, says:
The sultan agrees to all the American
terms proposed and recognizes the abso-
lutte sovereignty of the United States
which the authorities declare he never did
for Spain.
An important clause of the treaty gives
Americans the right to purchase land. We
retain all the ports which the Spanish for.

The sultan collects no revenues, but will
receive an annual salary for maintaining

chiefs are also salaried. The Sultan's
mother is largely responsible for the hap

THIRD WEEK Of THE TRIAL
DREYFUS CASE ALL THE TOPIC.
The Judge Gets Angry-The Crowds
HOOted and Yelled-Old Scandals Are
Brought Out -Dreyfus Gives Better
Impression.

Rennes, Aug. 22.-The third week Of
the Dreyfus court martial began without
incident. The possible temperance OF NJ.
Labori attracted large audience at the
Lycee, but though he is progressing as
satisfactorily as possible, his physicians
deemed it best for him to remain quiet.
When it became known that the distin-
guished lawyer would not participate in
the proceedings, large number of disap.
pointed persons quilted the court room.
The court settled down to business
quickly and by 8 o'clock five witnesses
had appeared at the bar. If this rate Is
continued it is considered the court will
get through with the 80 ordered witnesses
before the beginning of September and 1t
is expected the verdict will be delivered
by September 7.
All the witnesses Monday were hostile
to Dreyfus but none of their evidence was
fresh. The audience followed the depo-
sitions with comparatively little intrest,
reference by NJ. Gribelin to the rela-
tions of Dreyfus with the demi-mondaines
proving the most appetizlng portion Vi
the mornings proceedings.
A subdued litter went round the court
room when Gribelin even professed TO
know the exact amount Dreyfus spent
upon his various amours. Gribelin gave
his testimony with an honest demeanof
but nothing in his appearance would con
tradict the contention Of the Dreyfusards
that he was Major Laths' tool in the
Vaccinations of the general staff against
Colonel Picquart, who listened to Gribeiln
with an air contemptuous impatience.
M. Demange, counsel for the defense
was more successful than usual IN cross
examining him, and visibly disconnected
Gribelin. The counsel scored distinct
hit when he got Gribelin to admit that ne
mixed i'll the intrigues of DE Clam ana
Henry to shield Esterhazy, and when
Gribelin was finally disposed OF his evi-
dence had suffered badly.
Dreyfus created better impression To-
day. He entered the court room with a
more confident bearing and replied to the
witness in calm voice without any
theatrical gestures, and his remarks were
put SO lucidly that he appeared to MAKE
an impression on the judges, all OF whom
are reputed to be bitterly opposed to hiln
The session wound up with scene Oh

Tended the latter, when Colonel Picquai,
asked to be allowed to refute some u

"What, again?"
An outburst of booing and kissing came
from the audience at such display u
unfairness. The judges and gendarmes
quickly suppressed the noise, but Jonaus'
understood the well-merited rebuke admin

SMALLPOX IN NORTH CAROLINA.
Disease Has Almost Assumed the
Form of an Epidemic,

A dispatch from Raleigh, n. c.. says:
Smallpox continues to spread in thls
city. It's appearance has been re-
ported in twenty counties of the state.
The latest cases reported are from Gull
ford, Moore and Warren. The counties i'm
which cases have been reported to the state
board of health are Currituck, Pasquotank.
Perquimans, Gates, BERTHE, Tyrell, Edge
combe, Warren, Wayne, Johnston, Wake
Alamance, Guilford, Buncombe. New Hans
over, Northampton, Columbus, Halifax.
Mcdowell and Moore.
So rapidly is the disease assuming the
proportions of an epidemic that the state
board of health has appointed smallpox
inspector. DR.. Henry f. Long, who suc-
cessfully treated seventy-five in Iredella
county last summer, was selected. He VIII
visit infected districts, compel quarantine
of patients and direct their treatment
The disease is especially mad among tha
mill operatives at Burlington. Compulsory
vaccination in the town and county has
been resorted to. At Greensboro the au-
thorities have given the people three days
notice to be vaccinated, and failure to COM
ply with the ordinance will subject the Of
fender to $40 fine There is one case in
Wilmington and Ii is rigidly isolated. The
town Of Clinton, in Sampson county, has
ouarantined against Wilmington and Nor
folk.
The greatest secrecy prevails in infected
districts as to extent and fatality of the
disease, and this is one of the reasons that
induced the board of health to appoint an
inspector. Unless the epidemic is speedily
checked compulsory vaccination will be or
dered over the entire state.
