Prisoner of Devils Isle Masters
Details of His Case.
GRATITUDE GOES OUT TO FRIENDS.

Rallies From strain OF His Prolonged
Torture and Is stiI Strong In Mind.
Rennes shows Little Agitation over
Presence of Prisoner.
RENNEs, July 5.-It is impossible to
imagine q town salmer than Rennes.
The inhabitants continue absolutely in
different TO the presence of Dreyfus.
Barely half a dozen persons witnessed
the visits of counsel and Madame ORGY
fus to the prison yesterday. The town,
however, is full of detectives, who scru-
tinize all strangers, and a few gendarmes
are p~atrolling before the residence of
Madame Dreyfus. Matthew Dreyfus
paid his first visit to his brother yester-
day, the interview lasting half an hour.
The brothers threw themselves into
each others rms Matthew said he
found his brother aged and broken in
health, but not the physical wreck he
feared. In spite of his sufferings, Drey-
fus' eyes are as bright and his mind as
clear and his intelligence as clean as
when he was occupied with his duties
on the general staff. He was troubled
with insomnia during the voyage, but has
recovered. The prisoner is still suffer
ing from d~ysentery, but it is now slight,
and there is every reason to believe he
will rapidly recuperate his forces. Nat
urally, he is under medical treatment.
Matthew found his brother in good
spirits and buoyed up by the necessity
of mastering all his strength for the
coming ordeal and by the hope that at
last he will have justice done him. He
is extremely reserved as to his life on
Devils island, which has left an indeli-
BILE impression and remains in his mem.
DRY as a horrible nightmare. Dreyfus
looks back to his existence of the past
four years with relief, tinged with a
feeling of horror of a san man who has
escaped from a madhouse. He declares
his brain is almost reeling in the face of
the mass of documents and explanation
NM. Demage and Laborie are bringing
out regarding the extraordinary machi-
nations of his enemies and the persever-
ing devotion of his friends. Dreyfus is
astonished and full of heartfelt gratitude
at their sell -sacrifice. This feeling is
particularly strong as regards Colonel
Picquart, whom he hardly remembers
and the story of whose persecution has
prOfOundly moved him.

TAMMANY CELEBRATES.
Bryan and the Chicago Platform Loudly

Bryan and the Chicago Platform Loudly
tbsered by the Assembly.
New York, July 5.-Tammany Hall
celebrated Independence day, as Gus
tomary, at the Fourteenth street wig
wan. The gathering was remarkable
for its unexpected features. Ex.Gov-
ernor Hogg of Texas created a sensation
by the manner in which he introduced
The name Of Mr.. Bryan and the Chicago
platform TO the assembly. Mr.. Bryan's
name was received with tremendous APP
plause. The boom which was launched
for Augustus Van Wyck had a very in
different reception. II had been ar
ranged that Congressman James ID.
Richardson of Tennessee should speak,
but he was unable to attend, and Gov
ernor Hogg was asked to speak in his
place. When Governor Hogg arose he
received "A hearty welcome, and he in
dulged in a few remarks that seemed to
please the Tammany men immensely.
After a few moments, which he used in
outlining the well established principles
of Democracy, Governor Hogg began q
philippe which set the house in an up
ioui' APPLAUSE ptSuh WhCh hO oo-
serted that next year the Democratic
party would declare for the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at the ratio of
l6 to 1. Men who had appeared to be
half asleep woke up with a
start and joined In the applause.
When the speaker promised a plank
in the platform in which imperialism
would be denounced, it was evident
these sentiments were displeasing to
the Tammany leaders, and it was inten-
sified when the speaker continued: "In
this great contest we want the aid of
united Tammany-the greatest local po-
litical organization IN earth. We want
you to close up ranks, settle your local
difficulties, if they exist, and &c arm
in arm with the stalwart breadwinners
of the south and west to victory next
year, under the leadership Of the chiv-
~alrous, the dauntless, the matchless
great American, William j. Bryan"
AS the last words fell from the lips of
the speaker the audience was carried
away in an outburst of enthusiastic ap-
plause. Cheer after cheer arose and
what had started out as a Tammany
love feast became a bowling silver dem
O%nstratiOn.

A NEW FUEL.
The Caikins Electric OIL burner Solve,
the Question OF Cleanliness
and Economy.

the Question of C%leanness
and Economy.
l.. II. Waterman of Jamestown, N. d.,
has on exhibition mt Walters second
hand store an invention that is likely to
revolutioniae the method heretofore EN-
ployed of running the cookstove. 1t is
the Calkins Electric Oil Burner and Mr..
Waterman is superintendent of the Pa
ciic and central div isions of this country.
The burner attaches to any ordinary
cookstove, is a simple contiivance aud
uses either crude or refined petroleum
ms its fuel, which apparently gives all the
results where coal Is used, at u cost, 1t Is
said, very much reduced from that of coal,
not counting the convenience to the
housewife in the matter of cleanliness
and utility,
The fuel Is fed from an ordinary tank
into the burner, which occupies n Of
the holes on top the stove. The flow Of
oil and intensity Of the heat produced
can be regulated much more easily and
quickly than an ordinary coal fire and n
degree of heat from ordinarily warm to
red hot can be maintained at will.
The draft is received at the top of the
burner SO that all the odor is carried up
the chimney. After the burner becomes
hot it generates n gas which heats the
eutire atoye-tOO tank. Oyen and all
The burner is simply constructed, easily
cleaned and not easily put out Of order.
The invention is n wonder and it only
requires an exhibition of its merits to
sell it. Mr.. Waterman is hiring agents
to sell the burner.

Injunction Against Foreman,s Book.

Hone KONG, July 5.-Messrs. Kelly
& Walsh, the publishers, have been
compelled by an injunction of the su-
preme court to cease publishing John
Foreman's new book Oh the Philippines
because United States Consul Pratt has
brought an action for libel on account
of his alleged interview with Aguinaldo,
in which he was said to have promised
the Philippine leaders independence if
they would help the United States in
the war against Spain, which Pratt
claims is false. The book is therefore
prohibited by order of the supreme
court.

Postmaster Sprecher's books show that
for the fiscal year ending July LIST there
was but one month when the receipts
fell below 800, while some months
showed receipts of more than $1,000.
The following figures show the com
parison of the receipts Of the fiscal year
ending July 1898 with that just closed,
by quarters:
For the quarter ending September 30,
1897, the receipts were 81 ,90S 62 quarter

This shows a gain In revenue during
the past fiscal year of.$ IA. 73, and is an
average gain Of 1858 per month.
Another interesting feature in these
figures is that while the difference in

the greatest difference between quarter.
