afternoon that Dreyfus will be condemn
ed
Relief at RenneS.

New York, Sept. S.--A dispatch to the
Times from Rennes says: There is
feeling Of relief that the foreign at
taches, Schwarzkoppen and PanizZardi.
will not attend the court at Rennes and
will not send deposition. The idea of
calling in foreigner to settle Dreyfus'
innocence or guilt was never popular.
1t is believed that the court acted rightly
in their decision. Be it remembered thai
they held themselves incompetent to cite
the two military attaches. Had they
been willing the court would have had
no option but to adjourn until their ar
rival. But they virtually said: IF YOU
want our evidence, you must send for it,"
1t is considered that the court acted with
praiseworthy dignity. The Cernuschi
fasco will now have no result. NJ. La
bori suggested that the state of mind of
the Austrian officer be inquired into
General Mercier's attack upon Captain
Freystmeter in the latter's absence is
commented upon. Commandant Car
riere. the government commissary, is
rough soldier, with comical gestures. He
is no orator. yet his opinion is the more
valuable owing to the effect produced
by his declaring that after one moment
believing Dreyfus to be innocent he is
now convinced of his guilt Forecasts of
the character of the judgment should be
received cautiously, for nothing has
leaked out concerning the result of the
secret sttings.

No Peaceful Solution.

Capetown, Sept. S.-'rhe reports of the
raad debate at Pretoria published here
create intense feeling, and the diSparag-
ing references to Mr. Joseph Chamber
lain. imperial secretary of state for the
colonies, and Sir Alfred Milner. governor
of Cape colony and high commissioner in
Africa are resented. The feeling dis
played by members of the raad surprised
those who believed that a peaceful set
tlement would be reached, and such IA So
luton in the opinion OF many has been
rendered very difficult.
In spite of a downfall of rain. LOO
workmen assembled last night and
passed a resolution implorng a prompt
termination by the imperial government
of the present tension. which is causing
great distress, bringing the community
face to face with bankruptcy, alternating
the moderate element here and in the
Transvaal and sapping British prestige.
The resolution also aftirms unabated con-
fidence in Sir Alfred Milner The meet
ing, which was orderly, closed with
cheers for Chamberlain. Miner and
Rhodes and with groans for Kruger and
Screiner.

THE b0ER
SITUATION
Thousands Wait For the
English Decision.
IS NO FIGHTING AS YET
But the TranSvaal People May Soon
Take Aggressive ActiOn--NO Re-
port Given Out as to the Result of
the British Cabinet Meeting.

London. Sept. S--The cabinet council
here today attracted greater public at
tention than any meeting of ministers for
years past A We'll dressed crowd of 1000
or 1900 people impatentiy thronged the
precincts of the foreign office throughout
the session, eagerly scrutiniZing the faces
of those coming and going, in the hope of
obtaining a glimmering of the outcome
of the momentous meeting.
The generals We're en,huS:as tically
cheefcd as they appeared. the crowd eNi-
IDENTIFY understanding they had been
summoned to be in readiness in the event
of ministers wishing advice.
Chamberlain secretary of state for the
colonies. and the earl of Selborne, under
secretary We're the first arrivals among
the officials and We're followed by Field
Marshal Lord Woseley, commandments
chief of the army: General Sir Redvers
Butler, who. it is said. will have field
command in the event of war with the
Transvaal. and General Sir Evelyn Wood,
adjutant general.
The arrival of Lord Salisbury. the pre-
mier. was the signal for tremendous
CItel'ilS. ! ut ISL iHultdtloH oI tIlt pos
sible decision of the cabinet came from
the stock exchange, where the tone re-
covered on report that the ministers had
decided not to send an ultimatum to the
government of the Transvaal but to in
sis, that the TransNaal must agree to II
conference at CapetoWn, but it is too
early yet to give this as definite infor-
nation of the action contemplated or
taken.
The ministers came out arm i'm arm,
laughing, chatting, greatly contrasting
with the manner in which they went in.
Salisbury again received an ovation.
Although the foreign Office has not
given out statement the general i'm
preston was that no ultimatum would
! be sent to the Transvaal at present and
that the limit will be placed for Il confer
ence at Capetown. The short durat tion of
the council and early departure of the
military men summoned We're taken as
indications that the situation is more
pacific. though OF course this is only u
surmse.
A special dispatch received here today
from Lady Smith, Natal, says British
troops there are actively engaged in
maneuvres over the hilly country. Con-
| tinuins, the dispatch says:

/ the finest ever seen in South Africa. and
the health Of the men excellent, every
thing is ready for war"
| All adviccs confirm the presence of a
large number of armed Beers on the bor-

Situation Is Critical.

New York Sept. S--A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: Reports that
10000 troops will be moved Immediately
from India to Natal and that Sir Redvers
Butler Will be appointed commander of
British South Africa are premature. but
the situation is critical without doubt.
Todays cabinet meeting will be decisive
and the result can be inferred from the
text of the Boer reply and the probable
effect it will have on Lord Salisbury ard
Mr.. Balfour. who together are holding
Secretary Chamberlain under check. The
cOncensuS of opinion in London is that
a close approach will be made to war and
such a catastrophe will be prevented in
the end by the Intervention of the Cape
ministers and the retreat Of Kruger, who
is cautious enough to keep bridge open
on his rear
Mining operators. even milllonales. do
not know which way affairs are gong.
and there is no business in the South
African market. Sir Alfred Butler will
command the British forces in the event
of war. kruger'S forces are ordinarily
set down as 10000. A good many of his
warriors are dead men. who are brought
to life when there is an election. but those
who are left shoot straight. Mr.. Cham
berla lin is Queen NictoriaS favorite min
ister. who is at court oftener than any of
his associates.

Appeal to Foreigners.

Paris, Sept. S.-The Soir, one of the
most violent Paris anti Dreyfus papers
says: 1t is known that NJ Mercel-P Pre-
vost is president Of the Societe des Gems
de Lettres Francais. The articles which
he gives to the American journal the
New York Herald, have been the more
followed and noticed on that account.
Yesterday NJ. Marcel-Prevost closed his
letter from Renres by a para graz ph which
was particularly suggestive. Speaking
of the Dreyfus trial. NJ. Marcel-Prevost
thus expressed himself: AN interna-
tional drama, the last scene in which will
perchance not be played in France"
After this appeal to the intervention of
foreign armies, it appears difficult to us
that the Socete des Gems de Lettres
Francois does not choose a successor to

LunatiC'S Awful Deed

FL Paso Sept. s.-News has reached
here from Chihuahua. Mexico. of the ter
rible deed of a lunatic there a few days
since. Last Tuesday a crazy man created
a disturbance among the people in the

ing cane. The police arrived quickly and
soon overpowered the lunatic and took
him off to Jail. They locked him in a
large cell, where Is other prisoners were
confined. and neglected to search him
for weapons. 1t soon developed that the

COffec'S Low Price.

New York. Sept. s.-'The Tribune says:
The lowest price on record for future
coffee was reached yesterday when coffee
deliverable in October sold on the New
York coffee exchange at 440 cents Tht,
previous low pricewas 4.5o cents in June
for coffee deliverable in July. The high
price in II years was 2225 cents in June,
1887. for coffee deliverable in the follow
ing December. The cash price of Brazil
ian coffee was yesterday the lowest on
record, being 5.3S cents, or one-eighth
cent below any previous figure. The low
prices now current are due to the enor
nous worlds supply, and tire expectation
that the new crop will reach II .O00. 900
bags The increase in the worlds supply
in August was 100000 bags. the largest
increase ever reported for single month.

Naval Estimates.

New York, Sept. S-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: The
naval estimate for the fiscal year ending
June 30 1901. will aggre gate about $50,
o0G0G0. This considerable increase III the
cost of the navy is due in great part to
the expenditures which will have to be
made during the present and coming
fiscal years for the construction of the
54 vessels building and the three battle
viii be contracted for as soon as con-
gress takes action enabling the depart
ment to place contracts for armOr. Ad
mirals Hichborn and Melville have esti-
mated that $1S,OO0,00O viii be required to
meet the bills of shpbuilders. IN add
ton to this sum, Admiral Hchborn esti
mates that 5000 600 instead of 81, 900, coo
will be required for repair ships. There
is reason to believe that Admiral Crown
inShieId. chief of the bureau of naViga-
ton will recommend in his forthcoming
report that the enlisted force be in
creased to 20,0 900 men. and Will make es-
Inmates therefor. He will also mlke
ample provision for target practice for
the service. Admiral ONeiIrs estimate
for the armor for the vessels under con
struction and proposed Is very high. His
estimate for the present fiscal year
amounted to $4 0000G which was appro-
priated. The estimates for the coming
year will exceed this amount.

Without 1t per son would be lost as to the week, the day or the year.in the absence of q calendar old Robinson Crusoe dur ing his long and solitary residence upon lonely isle. had 70 carve 2 notch in q stick each day to keep q record of time.
 Batft is quite different now. Now a-days a calendar forms a very con spicuous part of every household and office. It is often very orna= mental, but is a necessity as well. If fills q daily want. Ifitis ornament al, it is appreciated for its beauty as well as it's service and stands the longer; and is the better taken care of.
 The general usefulness of the cal endar has caused it to be extensive ly employed by enterprising business men for advertising purposes. There fore the calendar manufacturers yIe with each other every season for the production Of the most attractive and artistic designs. There are cal endars now Of every degree and pre- duced hy every method known te the art of prineing. Asthe manufae- turers have beautified their ealen- dars each season. year bg year there grows an increasing demand ! for calendars for advertising pur- poses. The fact that a calendar is useful as well as ornamental and hangs for a year at least makes rank as an advertising medium along with the best known to mod ern methods.
 Another thing that makes q ealen- lar most attractive as an advertis- ng medium is that it is distributed 1 turing the holiday season when GUS omers and the public generally are cooking for some sort ofa souvenir. lnd it serves as bott a present and a perennial advertisement
