not directors and have no connection
with the Spenazuma Mining Company,

THE DREYFUS CASE
One Expert Discredited and Another
Changed His Mind.
COL. CLAM WILL TESTIFY
The Defense Cannot Get Him Into Court,
So His Deposition Will Be Taken By
Oommission-Labori Wanted to
Have Chance at Him.

Rennes, August 28.-When the trial of
Dreyfus was opened this morning Gen
| eral Mercier, minister of war when
Dreyfus was first tried in 1894, was
present as usual, thus definitely setting
at rest reports that he had fled to the
island of Jersey.
M. Paray laval was called by the de-
fense to refute the system by which
Bertillon, chief of the anthropometric
department of the Paris prefecture of
police, attempted to prove that the pris-
Oner wrote the famous bordereau in a
disguised hand, and by means Of key
Of the word interest" and that it could
not have been written by Esterhazy, al
though the document was in a hand
writing resembling Esterhazy's. With
the aid of blackboard M. Paray laval
demonstrated the fallacy of Bertillon' S
calculations, and criticised the latter's
unfairness in not subjecting Esterha-
zy's handwriting to the same tests as
the prisoners writing. At the same
time the draughtsman declared even if
Bertillon had done so, results would not
have proved anything.
M. Bernard, inspector of mines, who
took high honor lat the polytechnic
school, appeared to refute portion Of
Bertillon's evidence, which was based
on false calculations. Bertillon wished
to reply but the president of the court
Colonel Jouaust, declined to allow the
specialist to go over his evidence again,
taking the ground that the evidence
would never end if every expert did the
same
M. Charavay, an expert who previous
ly declared Dreyfus the author of the
bordereau, was called. He confessed he
made an error, and was now convinced
that Esterhazy and not Dreyfus wrote
the bordereau.
M. Pellier also testified favorably to
the prisoner.
M. Cordier, another expert witness,
then deposed that as a result Of his ex-
animation he has become convinced the
bordereau was not written by Ester
hazy, but could not say it was written
by Dreyfus, because he had not seen
the prisoners writing.
NJ Varinaud maintained the declara-
tion that he made before the court of
cessation that the bordereau was not
written by EsterhaZy
Colonel Jouaust announced that M.
De Freycinet, who resigned the minis
try of war May of this year, would be
among the witnesses tomorrow.
The session was closed with a request
that commission be sent to Colonel
Du Patty de Clam, whose illness pre-
vents attendance in court, to which Col
Jouaust agreed. This step does not sat-
isfy the defense, but they acquiesced to
the commission taking Du Patty de

1t is apleasure to quote some of
the words used by Governor Pin
gree in his late message to the Leg
islature of Michigan. He hit the
nail on the head when he said: The
war was precipitated by the clamor
of an unscrupulous press, with the
cooperation of equally unscrup-
ulous politicians who hoped that
the excitement and hysteria of war
would distract the popular mind
from the abuses Of their misgovern-
ment and from the grievances which
our people suffered and still suffer
greater than those which Spain's
subjects had to complain Of"

A large company of easily gulled
individuals was victimized short
time back in small country town.
By means of posters announcing a
grand sacred concert and by free
distribution OF complimentary tick
cts bearing on their face this condi-
tion, ''No Gentleman Admitted Un-
less Accompanied by a Lady," a
large audience was gathered at the
theatre. When Tho c;owd began to
press in through the doors, the
ticket taker began shouting:
GAN having compliment ary tickets
will pleaae pass up stairs to the gal
lery."
This was a dark, dreary, hot place,
not having the capacity for seating
comfortably more than 100 people.
Those who pressed forward with
their tickets were told that If they
did not wish to go to the gallery they
could be admitted by paying a shil-
ling apiece Every man who ap-
peared with complimentary ticket
of course had lady with him and
felt sort OF embarrassment if she
were not his wife or intimate ac.

English Children and Negroes.

The negroe is not SO we'll known
as one might expect, considering
that geography is widely and often
excellently taught in our primary
schools. The idea most frequently
expressed concerning him are that
he is black and foreigner.
"Here are some Of the definitions:
ga black man who lives 10 India"
ga dark man who comes from Amer
ica." ga negro ia slave; we read
Of them in Uncle TOMS Cabin"
ga gentleman who lives in foreign
country"
The country children are even
more lively in their descriptions
than the town children; "a negro is
foreign man with black skin all
over him with thick lips ahd curly
black hair; he goes naked"
"a negro is a man and they live in
very hot country and they have
little huts to live in" "a negro is a
black man who acts in a circus"
ga negro is q man whose skin is
always black, they are strong and
they live in huts, and do not wear
clothes and they shoot with bow"
GA negro is man what eats mis-
siouarys." The Sunday school mis-.
sionary stories and the circus color

The photograph taken by Mr.. J.

ed with the Beresford escapade, to
which we have made several refer
ences, is gaining interest among all
who like to hear Of historical events
in defunct Hawaii. A kamaaina
this morning stated the reasons
which led Beresford and his chums
to tear down the American coat-of-
arm from the Legation Gu Beretania
street. The night before the out
rage was committed some young
Americans" scions of leading men
in Honolulu, walked into the prem
ises now known as the Dickson prem
ises, opposite the residence then oc-
cupied by the U. S. Minister. In the
Dickson house lived the British
Commissioner Mr.. w. F. Sypge, and
on the evening in question, he was
entertaining at banquet Admiral
Seymour and his officers of III B. M.
S Sutledge. Whle the distinguish
ed Brltishers We're dining and
wining, the foolish young "Amer-
leans" hoisted the Stars and Stripes
over the British Legation, aud it was
in retaliation of that foolish act that
the "middies" tore down the Amer
ican Eagle from the U. S Legation.
If Lord Bresford yet remem bers the
incident, he will undoubtedly laugh
at the fuss made by otherwise sensi-
BILE men at boyish trick.
