temporary gilt frames. The portraits are
IN an excellent state OF preservation.

Prisoner Not Surprised mt the YER
dfct-A Pardon Expected.

dfct-A Pardon Expected.
RENNES. September Elf the major
ity of those in the courtroom this after
noon fully expected the verdict. they were
completely stupefed when IT was given
and the silence which prevailed In the
room and the way men turned pale an"
caught their breath, were more impress,
sive than any other manifestation couiu
have been.
AS the audience left the courtroom
fully ten or fifteen men were crying
openly, and the majority OF those pres
ent walked quietly down the street ior
more than a block without speaking a
word. 1t was like a funeral procession
Meanwhile a tragedy was being enact
ed I'm the little room of the courtroom.
where Dreyfus listened to the reading OF
the verdict. He had been told the result
bv his lawyers. and had wept bitterly,
but when I'm the presence or ofhcials OF
the court-martial he listened impassiyely
to the sentence.
MADAME DREYFUS BRAVE.
His wife. who was waiting In torture
and suspense al her house. bore the news
bravely. and when visiting her husband
this afternoon showed the onlookers who
were in the streets no sign Of her suffer-
ing as she walked from her carriage to
the prison.
Matthew Dreyfus was not present in
court this afternoon, but visited his bro
Their after the verdict had been rendered.
He found him perfectly calm and with
out any manifestation Of surprise at the
finding OF the court.
The prisoner simply shrugged his shoul-
ders. uttering an expressive BAN add
ing. as he embraced his brother, as the
latter was preparing to leave. Console

PARDON GENERALLY EXPECTED.
The general belief is that Dreyfus Will
be pardoned but this will not satisfy his
friends. who vehemently declare that they
will continue the battle until the judg-
ment is reversed.
The verdict they say, Is directed more
against the Hebrews than against Drey-
fus. and IL allowed TO stand will make
their existence in France impossible.
Maitre Labor and Maitre Demange
took the midnight train for Paris. They
drove to the station in a closed carriage,
escorted by four mounted gendarmes.
The road was practically deserted, and
no demonstration occurred.
APPLICATION FOR REVISION.
Maitre Demange and Maitre Labor will
tomorrow sign an application for re-
vision of the case. though there Is no
hope that the verdict will be reversed.
Both are much upset. though ii can
hardly be said that they are surprised.

Evidence I'm Fra nee.

Those who are amazed at the kind OF
testimony that passes for good evidence
al the Rennes court-martial should re-
collect that there is not in France. as
In England and America, laws and Gus
toms that establish what legal evidence
Is. As Professor Thayer, of Harvard, in
his book on the principles of the Law
of Evidence" points out, the English
law of evidence consists Of body Of
rules formulated by judges during the
last few centuries for use OF the court
and the instruction of the jury. In
France. however, there Is no law or
legal custom as TO exclusion OF this or
that kind of testimony, hence both In
court-martials and I'm the regular civil
procedure all sorts OF opinions and In
ferences are accepted as testimony and

man may be convicted by evidence that,

Housekeepers find that highly-polshed

Housekeepers find that highly-polished
library and parlor tables need protection
almost as much as does the dinlng-foom
board one New York woman accom-
plishes this by the use OF mats of stamp
ed leather. These mats are made In va
rious sizes, and are faced on the under
side with Canton flannel of a color TO
harmonize with the leather. They are
convenient for use wherever they arc
needed TO protect the polish OF handsome
tables from DETACHMENT by lamps and
other bric-a-brac. The problem of the
protection OF the dining-tGbie from the
heat OF hot plates and dishes has been
solved by an uptown firm. AT their shop
may be had a perfect heat-proof fabric
of asbestos and Canton flannel. The ma
terial is manufactured IN widths which
permit the widest table 10 be covered,
and IL is also cut up into oblongs. squares,
and small circles TO slip under doylies,
tray, and centre cloths. One ingenious
housekeeper had already partially found
"A way out of the same dilemma. For
use under pate and dish doylles Tor
luncheon and breakfast she bought the
round asbestos mats sold at hardware
stores for service on the range. Iheir
lin rims which would have scratched
the table, We're easily pTied on, leaving
a comparatively soft surface. These are,
however much sitter and also less
smooth at their best than the Fabric al

Dreyfus guilty Of entering into machina-
tons to send secret documents TO a for

which was that the court. by majority
Of 5 to 2. had found Dreyfus guilty.

The pent-up feelings of the audience
were expressed in a long. deep-drawn
