treaty with Spain shall in no wise e
termine the policy to be pursued by e

Dreyfus Praises Americans.

OTeyIU0 PRAISES Americans.
Carpentras, France, Sept. 25.-Drey-
fus spent Sunday quietly with his fam
lily and friends at Vile Marie He re-
ceived few callers and newspaper
men.
The big, firmly locked iron gate lead
ing into the Vile Marie was opened by
Matthew Dreyfus. In the garden were
Pierre and Jeanne, Dreyfus' two chill
dren, and several women of the family.
The captain was indoors, talking with
his brother-in-law, who is a rich mer-
chant and banker of Carpentras.
Capt. Dreyfus. referring to the mes
sages of sympathy cabled to him from
the United States, said:
Already MY brother Matthew has
thanked, in my name, the governors,
senator's, congressman, men of letters
and humanitarians, whose consoling
words We're sent to me by cable. The
fact that they are all personally UNI
known to me sharpens my appreciation
of their valued words of hope and en-
couragement.
II have learned that in America
there are no -Dreyfusards. as my
opponents are called. The day is not
France. What a change from the time
when so many believed me guilty of an
abomina BILE crime!
Il have also been informed that the
Americans without exception advocat-
ed the Justice of my cause. There is a
keen and highly developed sense of
Justice in America. 1t seems to be in
the American people as naturally as
the sun shines. They love to exercise
1T themselves and they bring pressure
upon others to exercise it,
1T is this strong sense of justice
which gives liberty its plentitude of
meaning in the United States. Liberty
cannot flourish where justice does not
obtain high ideals. A proper appreca-
ton of honor and strict sense of JUS
tice enables nations to rise to great
things and individuals to endure many
things

Pharmacy Report.

Des Moines, Sept. 25.-The commits
sioners of pharmacy have practically
completed their report to the governor
and they make showing which excels
that of any former biennial period. 1t
is shown that, outside of the direct
taxes, the licenses collected from timer
ant vendors of medicine, etc, are be-
looming one of the considerable items of
state revenue. For this period, s21,S60
was collected from this source alone.
This is much larger amount than
came from the general fees of the COM

CHINESE CHESS.
A Game Tint Is Too Complicated For
Modern Civilization.


Wei-ch'i is played on board contain
ing 324 squares, formed by 10 lines cross
ing 10 others Mt right angles, thus maxi
ing 3G1 points Of intersection. Three
hundred men are used, moving along
the points of ntersection-150 black and
lou white. One move at a time is made
by placing piece on point. The win
ner is the one who surrounds the greater
number of points with his own men, sur
rounds an empty point or a point occu-
pied by the enemy, who is then removed.
AT the corners and along the sides point
can be secured finally, but in the center
of the board there is always the danger
of a oesiesing army being besieged by n
greater one. An adaptation of the game
has been imported into Europe, but for
some reason or other it is chid's play
Wei-ch'i is not child's play. AT chess
20 minutes to half an hour is sometimes
allowed for single move. At we-ch'i
one move an hour is playing recklcssly,
like novice. Toward the end of the
game players will sit and look at the
board for whole day, at the end of
which white" puts down checker.
Then he suffers night OF remorse and
agony, knowing he has made mistake.
The Anglo-Saxon race probably does
not produce more than one intellect in a
generation capable of entertaining all the
possible combinations dependent on a
single move. The Mongolian race pro-
duces about 100 in one generation. The
patience. memory and expansive reten-
tiveness of mental retina required for the
study are made and not born. When the
Chinese system of education, of commit
ting thousands Of alphabetical symbols
and tones of reconcile philosophy to
memory, is abolished in favor of modern
science, wei-chi will be relegated to the
limbo of lost arts. 1t is an intricate
