THE LANDING OF DRnyruS

Greatest Secrecy Regarding the Dis
tinruishud Prisoners Movements.
Brest. France. June 28.-The French
first class cruiser Tage put 20 sea last
evening. the official explanation being
that she has gone TO experiment with
carrier pigeons. She Is. however, a
much larger cruiser than the SfaX
which is bringing Captain Dreyfus. and
the dispatch OF such big vessel with
carrier pigeons Is quite unprecedented.
Usually a torpedo boat Is sent and
the opinion, therefore, gains ground
that the Tage has gone to meet the
Sfax and 10 take Captain Dreyfus on
board The pigeons can be used 20
announce the transfer, and the Tage
might proceed 20 another port TO land
the prisoner.
AS against this theory and as an in
dication that the landing Of Dreyfus
will be effected here, there is the fact
that a large number OF gendarmes
from the country around Brest have
arrived.
The treasurer Of the famous League
Of the French Fatherland reached BresJ
last evening from Paris. Because this
organization has been at the bottom
Of the anti-Dreyfus movement, It is
thought he has probably come to or
ganize a demonstration.

The story Of love Is as old as the world,
and as all embracing as the universe II
furnishes the sentiment for all romances-
all novels--all plays.
The novelist considers II wholly from the
sentimental, intellectual side, but there is
another aspect even more tmpOrtant-the
physical side. Sentimental love between
men and women leads to close physical as
sociation-to marriage--to the rearing of
children. And so health must be consid-
cred. A weak, sickly, head-achey, back
achey woman cannot be good, helpful
wife She cannot bear healthy, happy
children. She cannot give her children
the proper care and training
A sick woman has no right to marry. A
sick woman has no right to attempt moth
erhood
But no woman need be sick unless af-
ficted with cancer. There Is a sure way
for her to regain her health. She need not

Washington, June 26-The agricul-

treating of the probable success of the
efforts of the department to establish
the Smyrna fig industry in California,
1t appears that the fruiting Of the
Smyrna fig is dependent upon the in
PRODUCTION from South Europe and the
establishment in California of little
insect which fertilizes the fig. The
bulletin says "Since the insect has
maintained itself for an entire year
there is reason to suppose that 1t will
continue to breed, and that California
in the near future will be able to place
fig upon the market which will pos
sess the same superior flavor as that
which has given the imported Smyrna
figs their pre-eminent commercial
rank"

COLUMBIA A SUCCESS.
The New Cup Defender Proves a
Speedy Sailer.
EASILY DEFEATS THE DEFENDER.

In AN Impromptu Race the New Yacht
Shows That She Is Fifteen to Twenty
Seconds Faster Than tho Present
Holder of the Americas Cup.
Newport, r. l., June 26.-The first
trial trip of the new American cup de-
fender Columbia, which took place IN
Narragansett bay yesterday, was more
successful than either her builders or
her owners had reason to hope for.
Not only did the new boat show her
self TO be able in every particular, but
she met the old racer Defender in
friendly brush of a mile to windward
and vanquished her with the greatest
ease. The race between the flyers,
which was over In five minutes, was
sailed In an eight knot breeze under
the same conditions, each boat carry
ing three sails, with sheet we'll flatten-
ed. It took the Columbia about three
minutes, sailing from the Defenders
weather quarter, to blanket her, and In
| five minutes she was 100 yards ahead.
! going past the old cup defender as II
the latter were anchored. Under these
| conditions 1t would seem as If the
Columbia were from Is to 20 seconds
a mile faster than the Defender, and
If she can make the same gain In a
hard blow anxiety as to the safety of
the Americas cup will be considerably
allayed.
Captain Barr gave the Columbia 6
good rap full, while Captain Rhoades
on the Defender did not try to pinch
out ahead. 1t was a fair, honest test
of the sailing merits of the two boats
under flattened sheets. The Defender
had plenty of room to reach out ahead
Of her rival, and only required the
necessary speed to do It, That she
failed In the attempt must be a source
of great qualification to American
yachtsmen in general and her owners
and builders in particular, for It show
ed the new boat to be wonder, anC
that the Shamrock will have to sal
with marvellous speed to win the Amer
ica's cup.
The trip yesterday was the builders
trial, and although the managing
owner, G. oliver Iselin, and a numbe
of his yachting friends were on board
still the Columbia's designer, Ma
Herreshoff, was in charge II is ex
pected the boat will have another tria
either today or tomorrow, and that b.
the end of the week she will be for
mally turned over 10 Mr.. Iselin. Il
the meantime her interior fittings vii
be finished and her bowsprit, whic
apparently started In the socket dur
ing yesterdays brush with the De
fender, probably will need some at
tention. Before the Columbia left 70
Bristol after the race Mr.. Iselin ez
pressed himself as being more tina
pleased with her, and it was happ
lot of yachtsmen that watched he
performance and went to Bristol wit
her last night.
