Fourteenth Regiment of Artillery,
stagiary of the staff corps, attached
to the ministry of war, is he guilty of
having in 1894 procured for foreign
power a certain number Of secret
documents concerning the national

Yes, the prisoner is guilty."
''In consequence" continued Col.
Maurel, land unanimously the court
martial condemns the man called
Alfred Dreyfus to transportation for
life TO the fortified enclosure, and one
demns him to military degradation"
The same evening Dreyfus, on the
advice of his counsel, signed an APP
peal to the court of revision that his
conviction should be quashed on the
ground of informality and that new
trial should be ordered. The court
refused the appeal, and found that
the first trial had been conducted
with all the formalities imposed by
the law. Dreyfus was accordingly
convicted and sentenced without any
further appeal being possible.
PROTESTS INNOCENCE.
Shortly before the sitting of the
court of revision Dreyfus was visited
in his cell by Major Du Patty de Clam,
VINO asked him if he was at last ready
to confess his guilt.

"ALFRED DREYFUS."
! THE DEGRADATION.
On the morning of January 4th AL
fred Dreyfus was told to put on, in
stead of the civilian clothes which he
had been wearing in his cell, a Cap
tain's full uniform, which had been
specially prepared for the occasion.
The lace on the cap, the red seams on
the trousers, the buttons and trim
mings on the tunic had been un-
fastened and stitched on again,
strongly enough to keep in place, and
vet so loosely that they could easily
be torn off. 4 sword was banded
him in its scabbard and ne was bid
! den to buckle it round his waist. This
sword had been filed on each side
about half way down the blade. At
o'clock Dreyfus was carried under
guard into the square, where, in the
presence of the assembled troops, he
was to be degraded. A few minutes
later Gen Darras, rising in his STIR
rups and waving his sword aloft, thus
addressed the prisoner: ''Dreyfus,
Alfred, you are unworthy to carry
arms. In the name of the French
people we degrade YOU" As these
words, spoken with ineffahle con-
tempt, thunder forth, the gigantic

ground with gesture of disgust and

HIS SECRET ARREST.

1t has since transpired that for
some time previous to his arrest, i'll

of documents which had been noticed
at the second bureau, Dreyfus had
been under suspicion of his chiefs.
The suspicion must have become a
certainty, when, on October |, he
was detached from the ministry of
war and appointed to service in the
Thirtv-ninth Regiment at the Ecole
Military, for. as stated. a period of
three months On the morning of

ministry in consequence, on the
morning of October Is and was not
seen or heard of again until the news
of his arrest was made public on No

Meanwhile Alfred Dreyfus had pre-
sented himself at the ministry of
war. where he was received by Maj.
Du Patty de Clam.

comrade." said the Major. I'VE will

Dreyfus sat down and took up a

The Major began to dictate: Al

CONCLU SION.

Robert Ingersoll is dead. Death
came to him with swiftness and with
out warning. Whether he was
even conscious of his end no man
can say. 1t may be that before the
spark grew quite extinct there was
for him a moment of perception-that
one appalling moment when within a
space of time too brief for human
computation the affrighted mind, as
it reels upon the brink of dissolution,
flashes its vivid thought through all
the years of its existence and per-
ceives the final meaning of them all.
If such a moment came to him and as
the light Of day grew dim before his
dying eyes his mind looked back
ward through the past there can have
been small consolation in the thought
that in all the utterances Of his public
teaching and in all the phrases of his
fervid eloquence there was nothing
that could hel p to make the life Of man
on earth more noble, or more spirit
ual, or more truly worth living"

NO MOTIVE SHOWN.

No valid motive why Drevfus
should have committed these acts of
treachery was put forward at the
time Of the arrest. or even has been
since. He was man Of considera bic
private means. His own private
income exceeded $4,000 year, and
his wife, the daughter of one of the
richest diamond merchants in Paris,
had a large fortune of her own. In
deed, at the time of her husbands
arrest, Nine. Dreyfus had a sum of
$50, 900 lying at her bankers waiting
for investment. On the other hand,
Alfred Dreyfus was not a spendthrift.
He was passionately devoted to his
wife and children, and had no laiSon
outside of his family circle. He was
not a gambler, but a man of steady
habits, who returned home directly
his work was over. The only luxury
he allowed himself was his stable.
He had some beautiful horses. At
school, as in the army, he was re-
puted hard worker. He was never
very popular with his comrades, who
accused him of naughty manners.
