During the services last night at Temple

Sukkoth. Rabbi Voorsanger lectured on
THE Dreyfus Case After the Second
Court-martial." So large an audience
gathered that the seating capacity of the
house OF worship was entirely inadequate
to seat 1t, many remaining standing till
the conclusion. The music was particu-

French people ought to understand that
the source of American indignation at the
Dreyfus verdict springs not from a desire
to NEEDLE with other peoples business

The people of the United States could not
understand any judge and jury holding
in contempt the, opinion Of the highest
court in the land. as the Dreyfus court
martial had held the opinion of the Court
of Cessation when militarism declared
Dreyfus a traitor to his country He con-

clared him innocent.

The Paris Of .Mcst Virginia

The campaign between Parkersburg
and Charleston over the capitol removal
question has its amusing as well as its
serious features. The latest score is
made by the State Journal. OF the for
mer city, which generally comes out
ahead. The Journal makes good
point when 1t calls attention to the fact
that the other day the Charleston Mail
Tribune characterized Charleston as
the "cIeanest and Iovtiest city in the
state" and called 1t the Paris of West
Virginia" Now. says our Parkersburg
friend, the same paper pays Charleston
the tribute of saying that "one-sixth Of
the year 1899 has already gone, and the
streets OF Charleston have not been
cleaned, and there Is no prospect for
their being cleaned at that"
The two items in the Maif-Tribune are
u little bit inharmonous for fact, and
when our neighboring city, which is
justly celebrated for Its cleanliness,
makes the point 1t scores one in It's own
favor. Charleston may be entitled
to be called the Paris of West Nir-
ginia." in some respects. which we need
not mention here. The Mail-Tribune
editor possibly does not need TO be re-
minded that in comparing the capital of
West Virginia to the French capital. in
n general sense, 1t might occur to some
folks that there are some cases in which
Comparisons are odlous."
When Chicago used to call herself
"the Paris Of America" the remainder
of the country that knew something
about Paris and Chicago. took the
claim us literally true to such an extent
that the windy city withdrew It's boast.
and was content to stand upon Its own
merits.

ANINNOVATlOS
In Sleeping Car Service Introduced
by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.

by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.
Commencing Monday. February 10,
the Baltimore G. Ohio railroad will In
troduce n new feat1re in Its sleeping
car service, between Baltimore and
Newark, Ohio. inauguratlng what will
be known as the Ordinary" sleeping
cars. in addition to the regular stand
ard sleeping cars. One of these cars
will be attached to Train No. I. leaving
Baltimore at 700 p. IN. and arriving In
Newark at 10:22 a. m. next day, re-
turning on Train No. s. leaving New
ark at $50 p. m. and arriving In Balu-
more ut 1853 p. m. next day.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad Is the
first line TO Introduce this service In
the eastern territory for special nc
commodatlon OF the travelling public.
In these Ordinary" slcepers the Pull
man rate Is reduced onc-half. so that
passengers have the choice of paying
the higher Pullman rate and occupying
standard car or tnke advantage OF the
cheaper rate, and occupy the "Ordi-
nary" sleepers. SOB
These cars are new. have been es-
pccially constructed for this service,
and differ from the standard sleeping
cars only In being less deliberately fur
nished. The seats are upholstered In rat
tan. and the sleeping berths. when made
up. have all the comforts and convent
ences OF the standard cars.
Tickets Will be on sale at regular
Pullman ticket Offices handling business
between these cities.

The Junta's Bulletin Campaign.

The Philippine junta over in Europe
issues a bulletin claiming that Aguin-
aldo's army" holds 1000 American
prisoners, who will be taken into the
interiors" that the American losses care
far greater than those OF the Filipinos;"
that mot one Filipino has surrendered"
and that the foreign residents Of Cebu,
having asked the insurgents to with
draw to avoid q bombardment by the
Americans. they acceded, trusting that
their action will be brought before the
foreign consuls. who may arrange an
amicabte settlement with the Amerl-.
cans"
This Is fine specimen OF lying
about as 'nervy" as is possible to
imagine. II the Fillplnos expect to get
the sympathy and Interference Of the
European nations with such absurdities
as this they must be wholly ignorant OF
the diplomatic facilities and the means
OF gaining information OF the real sltu-
alton possessed by the powers OF Eu-
rope. These daily bulletins from the
European Filipino junta are generally
known to be manufactured OF whole
cloth. The consuls Of the countries Of
Europe In Manila are as thoroughly
posted upon the conditions as are Ad-
mlral Dewey and General Otis, while all
the world knows that the cable line is
under the control OF the United States
government.
So long as Aguinaldo's junta at Paris
continues to win battles and get control
of the situation in its mind and to drive
| out the American military and naval
authorities with Its boastngs on paper
the people Of the United States may
continue to take their sleep regularly
and their meals with good healthful
appetite. undisturbed in mind and
spirit. There is no use to disguise the
fact that this government has prob
lem on its hands, but It Is not quite as
much Of problem as the junta would
have Europe believe 1t Is. nor is Europe
wasting time about 1t.
The situation is not at all so grave as
1t was week ago, nor was 1t then so
grave as it was the week previous.
The bombast OF Aguinaldo himself is
more limited and conservative, but he
has not yet been able to prevent his
European junta from making Itself, and
his insurrection ridiculous among the
real civilized powers. Aguinaldo should
withdraw his European junta. No
cause was ever won by deceit and false
hood. The government OF Spain can
give the ambitious youth few sugges-
tons on this point that might be Of
value to him.

Last Day of Congress.

Congress will expire by Limitation ut
midnight tonight. 1t may be neces-
sary to resort to the usual act OF turn
ing back the clock long enough to dis
pose OF some belated business. or 1t Is
possible that the work to be done may
be completed long before the day Is
gone.
In any event, the Fifty-nfth Congress
will SO upon record as one of the ma
tional legislatures which have helped to
make important history In the life Of
the government. The part that 1t has
taken in the events of the past two
years will not be discreditable to the
party responsible for Its acts, when all
things are considered.
. The circumstances have been remark
able. md when duty called upon this
Congress to hold up the hands OF the
President In the great crisis through
which the country has passed 1t did not
fail in single instance. The faithful
ness OF this historic body Will be given
due credit by the history writer's OF the
future.

three years he has been devoted to
Mary, and every day OF those three

three years portion OF his time has
been spent in the perplexlng question OF
how TO make proposal OF marriage
and that further perplexlty common to

had been 2rccipitate and was assailed
with doubt as to how his let

night he didn't sleep. He thought
all sorts Of things and vainly wished he
could intercept the letter before it
reached her. But that was manfestly
impossible. 1t was not until noon the
next day that he received an inspiration
as he was passing telegraph office.
Rushing In he seized blank and ner-
vously peIned the following:

not open and deliver to me on my re-

After that he breathed freer, at the
same time wondering II he hadn't play
ed the fool In not letting the matter
