statements did not tend to establish
the rumors on which the investigation
was based even to as great an extent
as did some of the other testimony.
The commissioners did not arrive at
any conclusion during the afternoon,

take any further steps, has not devel-
oped. The investigation, however, is
still open.

The occasion was one, he said, not
soon to be forgotten. DR.. Moore says
Dewey is high type of American cit
izen. He has fine presence, is digni.
fed and a strict disciplinarian. He is
not church-going man nor lady's'
man. He has been a widower for 90
years and cares nothing for the fair
sex. The admiral will reach home in
October. DR.. Moore expects soon to

ordered to his ship at any time.

That Only Comes by Accident.
WILL LAST UNTIL JULY II!
Value Has No Consideration. The Goods
Must All Go at Once.

Although it is unusal for us to
take stock in Midsummer, this
year we have decided to do it, and
from today, until JULY 18th, we
will slaughter our entire stock
without reserve, regardless of
value, and cost will positively not
enter into the consideration of a
single transaction. The whole
business must go---Clothing, Hats,
Shoes, Dress Goods and Notions,
all of which will carry sensation
al values at slaughtered prices !!
We have bought the largest
stock of Fall and Winter Goods
we have ever undertaken to ham
die, and besides the stock taking,
it's room we want! AS already
stated, this sale takes in and in
cludes every article of merchan-
disc in our store, and during this
sale we will offer you values
which you may never expect
again. It's Cash; no memoran-
dums. Bargains as is bargains,

THE EYES OF SNAKES.

One of the most curious facts with
regard to the eyes of snakes is that
their eyes are never closed Sleeping or
waking, alive or dead, they are always
wide open. This is because there are
by a strong scale, which forms a part
of the epidermal envelope. and is cast
off in piece with that every time the
reptile mouths. This eve plate is as
clear and transparent as glass and al
lows the most perfect vision, while at
the same time it is hard and tough,
so as to perfectly protect the delicate
organ from the thorns and twigs among
which, in flight from enemies or in the
pursuit of prey the reptile so often
hurriedly glides, as any close observ-
er Of the habits of the snake can read
lily discover.

Y RAYS AND WOUNDS.
Testimony of a Soudan Medical Off
Ger.

Speaking of the surgical advantage
derived during the Sudan campaign
from the use of the Rontgen light, the
senior medical officer of one of the hos
pitfalls says:
THE Rontgen rays proved of inval-
liable assistance in localising the eX-
act position of bullets, and in many
cases rendered probing of wounds I'M
necessary. In many cases the Y rays
prevented much suffering. which would
have been caused by probing the use
of the finger or enlarging the wound in
the ordinary search for the bullets,
as the skiograph at once indicated the
exact position of the bullet. In other
more complicated cases, the Macken-
zie Davidson method localised the eX-
act position of the bullet, so that the
surgeon was at once able to come to
the conclusion if operative interfer-
ence was judicious or otherwise. If
considered advisable. the removal Of
the bullets was much facilitated by
the diagram previously indicating eX-
attly where the projectile was to be
found"

JUDGE ADVISED SUICIDE
SECRET HISTORY OF DREYFUS
MATTER.
Colonel De Patty Du Clam Believed to
be the Mysterious Yelled Lady
Testimony of NJ. Bertulus

PARIS, April Gle Figaro today
publishes the evidence given by the
examining magistrate, Bertulus, be-
fore the court of cessation in the Drey-
fus case. NJ. Bertulus, it appears
gave an interesting account of his
examination of the late Lieutenant
Colonel Henry, who committed suicide
by cutting his throat with a razor, in
August last, in the military prison of
Mont Nalerien, after confessing the for
gerry of certain documents connected
with the affair. The examining magis-
trate said that when Henry found
himself cornered he confessed that
Lieutenant Colonel De Patty Du Clam
and Major Count EsterhaZy We're the
authors of the spurious kilograms to
incriminate Colonel Picquart, where
upon NJ. Bertulus said to Henry, "Es-
terhazy and De Patty Du Clam are
guilty. Let the latter blow out his
brains this evening and justice will
take its course against Esterhazy, the
forgeT, who is now making charges
against you, which, If they reach the
ears of your enemies may lead them
to accuse you of supplying Esterhazy
with the documents"
Henry, it further appears, upon hear
ing this, collapsed in his chair, speech
less, and then threw his arms around
the magis trate, kissed him on the fore.
head and cheeks, crying imploringly
Save us, save us; EsterhaZy is a
scoundrel."
The magistrate then pressed him 70,

sist, saying the honor of the army be
fore everything"
NJ. Bertulus also expressed the be
lief that the yelled Lady" who hal
figured in the case, was none othe,
| than De Patty Du Clam himself.
