Mrs. Emily Crawford the well-informel
Paris correspondent of London Truth. tells
the pathetic story of how his papa's terri
bel experience came TO be known by the
9-year-ofd son of Capt. Dreyfus.
Nine Dreyfus, writes Mrs Crawford a
short time ago remarked with terror that
her children seemed 10 suspect the fate Of
their father
She had brought them up entirely under
her own eye. She was their governess.

kept them out of The way of newspapers
ia wkers. She never let the boy, who was
in his 9th year. see a newspaper. The ser
wants We're as careful as she was 10 keep
them in happy ignorance.
But Partisan cOnfectioners have thrifty
way. unknown in this country, of passing
together out of old newspapers little paper
bags to hold candies. The boy first guess
"a the truth about his father from read
ing about "TAffaire Dreyfus" upon these
candy bags.
Then one day he found on the cliff at the
seaside a torn kite made Of newspapers
Here was by chance printed a short histo-
ry. or restatement OF the facts in the case,
preparatory to the trial at Rennes. The
boy spoke 10 his nurse about the similar
ity of the name.
'Hush!" said the nurse; there are many
Dreyfuses."
But are there mary Capt. Alfred Drey-
fuses whose wives ARE Lucies? All. I
know now why mamma is so sad and why
papa remains so long awayi'
The nurse asked him what he had seen
to make him think so. and the boy show
ed her the kite and told what he and his
sister had read on the paper bags.
But you must never tell any one, new
err said the nurse. 1T would kill your
mamma if she thought you had found out
what makes her so unhappy"
The brave little man nodded, winking
hard to keep back the tears, and nothing
more was said then.
But now in the reunited Dreyfus family
there are no secrets.

ANOTHER sEcRErARHsHIP.

Senator Hanna is in favor Of the crea-
ton Of auotaer cabinet Office. Il has been
predicted that President Mckinley Will
advocate in his annual message the add
lion Of a secretary of commerce TO the ex-
ecutive household. 1t Is proposed TO put
into the hands of this new official an ship
ping interests, whether by land or water,
and all bureaus and services having 10 do
with foreign and domestic commerce. The
administrati ton of the maritime laws would
be taken out Of The hands of the treasury
department. and of the consular service
out Of the hands of the state department.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
would be brought under the control Of the
Secretary Of Commerce, as would also Inc
Pacific Railroads and the Nicaragua Ca
nal Commissions.
Whenever the Republicans take il into
their heads TO create a new office-and
they have weakness for that sort Of
thing-they have but little difficulty IN
showing on paper, that it is needed. But
is there any actual demand, other than a
political one, for the creation of this pro-
posed new secretaryship? All of the va
rious bureaus and commissions that would
be consolidated into the new department
seem to be getting along very well. It is
desirable that the consular offices be taken
out of politics, but the mere removal of
that service from the state department to
another department would not accomplish
that end
The leading feature of the commercial
secretaryship would, or ought 10 be, the
manageme Mt Of the merchant marine But
what have We in the lire OF a merchant
marine that is now demanding special at
tention? SO far from our shipping indus

officials which we now have. Instead of
the creation of new offices, what the coun-
try needs is that about fifty per cent. of
those which we now have should be Topped
off and the governments business brought
down to a system such as any careful
business man would provide for his private
affairs. Should the present admiuistra-
ton create a secretary of commerce. 1t
would probably not be a great while be

fessions, and another of the mechanical

THE BoER WAR AND BUSINESS.

We are a good many miles away from
South Africa. but not so far that She war
there will not affect US. Just what the
effect will be- however is problematical.
Some business interests will ne benefited
while others will be hurt. The meat pack
ers will make money because of
the war. Already the British gov
eminent has placed large orders
for canned beef for the British troops
with Chicago and Kansas City concerns.
Dealers in mules will feel the stimulating
effect on the market for those animals
made by the demand for several thousand
mules for service in the Transvaal cam
paign. Great Britain is still in the mar
ket for mules. Il is possible, should the
war continue long enough, that the grain
market will be influenced favorably. The
cotton market also is likely to feel the
effects of the war, but with a tendency
toward depression. a few days ago, it
will be remembered. when the Boer ulti-
natum was received in London the cot
ton quotations fell off slightly as one con-
sequence. Ocean freghts are already af-
fected. The British government has with
transports This reduction of the com
mercial carrying capacity has been fol-
lowed by an advance in ocean freight
rates Grain rates between New York
and Europe are something over shilnnss
per quarter higher than they were ten
DAYS ago. The rate on flour has adj
vanced shillings per ton. There has
been no advance in cotton rates, however,
for the reason that the movement for the
past fortnight has been Unexpectedly
light. and the tonnage already in the cot
ton ports is more than sufficient for pres
ent demands.
1t is to be remembered further, that
South Africa yearly odds immensely to
the riches of the world. One-third of the
total output of gold comes from that sec
ton The yield last year was S55.00O,00O
of the precious metal The great Kim
berley diamond mines are there also South
Africa produces IS per cent. of the dia.
monds of commerce, the annual output
approximating in value $4,000 900. Opera
lions in both the gold and the diamond
mines will be practically or actually sus-
pended during the continuance of the war,
and the immense streams of wealth which
they pour into the commerce of the world
will be shut off. This can hardly fail TO
be felt in the money markets in the event
that the war is drawn out 10 several
months duration.

A Maine Fish Story.

One of the queerest experiences in catcn-
ing trout that any man ever had in Maine
was had a. Moosehead lake recently by an
Attleboro sportsman named Williams. says
the Maine Sportsman. He was standing
on the apron of the dam at Wilson'S, fish
ing in the quick water below, and had
met with fair success. Near the shore on
mis- righI hand. in a little eddy. he noticed
a barrel lying on its side in several feet
of water. He wondered what it was there
for, and was so curious that he left hts
fishing and went down to examine. He
found that il was an Old nolasses barrel.
and was lying so that he could see the
bunghole. of course, ele barrel was fU.l
of water, and the man had no idea there
was fish inside of it, but just for curios-
ity he dropped his hook through the hole
and no sooner had il landed there than the
water was boiling, and the fisherman knew
he had trout on the other end. He play
ed him until the fish was tired, and when
he came TO land him he could not get him
through the hole. He secure a saw and
sawed a piece out OF the top of the bar
rel near the hole. The fish came out 1t
weighed three pounds, and was one of the
handsomest squaretaiIs caught in that sec
ton this year. One Of the guides said
that the trout must nave gone into the
barrel when small and had lived on bugs
and worms which had taken up their abode
on the inside.

Just Like the other clubs.

Mrs. Ada Brown Talbot Of New York,
editor Of the Clubwoman, says that the
most extraordinary club she ever ran
across is conducted by a very demure and
dignided little woman of Z, the daughter
of club president, says the Philadelphia
Post. The editor called one day and was
received by her little friend with open
arms.

tor Il hope it is comfortable and pretty"

NEWS FROM SOUTH ATRIcA.

Current news from South Africa may be
taken with grain of salt, unless the au-
thorty for the statements made is clear
Already we have had several examples of
monumental fakes, such as the story of a
great battle near Mafeking, in which it
was said that 500 Beers had been killed.
and the report that Mafekng had shown a
flag of truce almost before the attack had
begun The fact Is that lines of eommu-
nication are badly interrupted in the dis
turbed territory. The Beers have cut tel
egraph wires. torn up bridges and de
stroyed rail connections. Whatever news
gets to the outside, therefore, must come
slowly.
1t should be borne in mind, also, that
the interests of many stocks that are
dealt in on London and other European
exchanges are bound up in the fate of
South Africa and those stocks are par
ticularly susceptible to the events or the
changes chronicled as having occurred in
that territory. There are reasons for
thinking that stock jobbers in South At
RIGA or elsewhere are operating a literary
bureau for the purpose of disseminating
mining securities to suit their specula-
lions.
There are tens of thousands of persons
in England directly or indirectly Interested
in South African matters. Many of them
are mothers and fathers who have sons in
the British army there. To these the re-
ports of bloody encounters with the Beers
mean hours or days of doubt and agony
But the stock jobbers care nothing for
such considerations. They are after the
money there is to be made out of the
war, and the tears of mothers and the
groans of fathers do not effect them.
AS far as reliable advlces go, there has
not yet been any serious encounter, and
the Beers have taken possession of only
unmportant British positions. 1t is TO be
expected that there will be heavy fighting
before a great while, but it has not oc-
CURED yet. Meantime it is likely that the
British government will take steps TO cut
off the false and sensational stories that
are being sent out for stock jobbing pur-
noses

Suggestions have been made in many
quarters that in spite of the agreement
between MIR c. Oliver Iselin and Sir
Thomas ]. Upton, that an accident TO
either of the contesting yachts should not
vitate the race, some means can be de-
vised by which the race of Tuesday can
be declared off so that the Columbia and
Shamrock might run again the race to
be decided on the positive merits of the
two boats. Sir Thomas, of course. would
never make any such proposition, nor
would he hear to one coming from Mr.
Iselin. 1t is fair to conclude, therefore,
that he would hardly be willing to en-
terrain such a proposition coming from
any other source, or even to an agreement
10 resail the race made between the two
yacht clubs interested. The first race de-
monstrated the superiority of the Column
bia beyond question, and there is little
doubt that the next and last race of the
series, when it is finally run, will clinch
that conclusion beyond a doubt.
