=. Mad Monarch, Frea,s.

"At the time the malady of Ludwig
II, the mad king of Bavaria, was at its
worst he gave orders that 80 of his
finest horses should be put in the best
condition possible for a race" writes
Professor J. Ii. Gore in The Ladies'
Home Journal when the report
came that no further improvement
could be made, he had them brought
into an open field where every conceiv-
able form of noise making device had
been stationed.
'.The horses were tied to posts. and
the king from an elevated stand gave
the signal that started the fare OF
trumpets, the booming of cannon, the
firing OF bombs and other outlandish
noises. The horses reared. plunged,
struggled to get free. and finally break
ing loose started in the widest of gal
lops from this bediam- But toward
whatever corner of the field they fed
they were stopped by noises just as
terrifying and sent to another quarter
to be frightened again and again.
when the horses became too tired
to run well. the king found the specta-
Gle uninteresting and ordered the orgy
to cease. BY this cruel freak the royal
stables lost a number of their most
valuable animals"

DRAMATIC SCENES IN COURT.
Dreyfus Brings Things to Climax by His
Words to Mercier.

Dreyfus Brings Things to a Climax by His
Words to Mercier.
Rennes, Aug. 14.-Saturday's session
of the DreyfuS trial was extremely dra-
matte. The chief interest centered in
the testimony of General Mercier, for
mer minister of war. His evidence was
expected by the anti-Dreyfusards to
prove conclusively the guilt of the pris-
oner. In this it failed. General Mercier
in concluding his statement said that if
he had not been convinced of the guilt
of Dreyfus he would admit that he had
been mistaken. Then the most sensa-
tional event of the day took place
Dreyfus, stung to the quick, sprang to
his feet and shouted, You ought to say
so now"
The court room was in an uproar
Cheer after cheer rang out for Drey-
fus, while Mercier was cursed and
hissed. Casimir-Perier, former presi-
dent of France, told of his connection
with the case and demanded the right
to confront and refute the assertions of
Mercier. The testimony given by the
other witnesses was in the main favor
able to Dreyfus. A letter was presented
purporting to be practical confession
of Dreyfus, which Casimir-Perier had
read during the first trial. and Dreyfus
solemnly repudiated it. declaring that
he did not write it, or have any connec-
tion with 1t.
II came out during the day why Cas-
imIr-PeYier had resigned the presidency
of the republic. He denied that his
resignation was due to any diplomatic
incident, the reason being that knowl-
edge of the interviews between Count
Won Munster and the minister of for
eign affairs was withheld from him.
thus compromising the presidential in
dependence.
General Mercier's testimony proved
little else than a rehash of the stories
which have been persistently circulated
to make it appear that the reason why
the secret dossier has been SO carefully
guarded was that its publication would
involve Germany in such a way that
war between that country and France
would be likely to follow. In fact he
said that Count Won Munster, the Ger
man ambassador, had talked about de-
manding his passports. General Mer-
cier said that upon learning of Count
Won MINISTER'S Intervention he made
preparations for immediate mobiliZa-
tion of the troops. las regarded mobil-
ization." General Mercier said, I'VE
were in complete state of transfor-
nation. and diplomatic affairs were
also critical" This was in 1894.
But Casimir-Perier read a telegram
he had received from the German for
eign Office declaring that Germany was
absolutely unconcerncd in the Dreyfus
affair
Berlin, Aug. 1.-THE statements of
Gen. Mercier before the court martial
at Rennes Saturday regarding the i'm
minence of war between Germany and
France excite only ridicule here The
semi-official newspapers declare that
there was never any idea of war.
