 Valuable Secret for Him.

A Cincinnati man advertised his de- sire to sell valuable secret for fifty cents. He stated that he would tell how he was cured of drinking, smok- ing, swearing, staying out at night, going to the races, gambling, and hew he gained twenty pounds in weight in two years. Several persons sent him fifty cents each, and here is the secret they received: Just cured of all bad habits named by an enforced resi- denee of two years in the Ohio state prison" A woman notices this joke and observes that few men addicted to tns bad habits mentioned will consent to try this remedy, but there Is no doubt that many of them should be forced to do so.-Berlin Herald.

It is only possible at present to coll lect data from the duration of lives of birds in captivity; evidence otherwise must be unreliable, and it is purely a matter of theory as to whether the natural possible life is greater than that under the unnatural conditions of captivity.

RIVAL MEETINGS IN PARIS.
Charge Made That De Clam Is Held
Up as a scapeGOat.

-
Up as a scape&ORt.
Paris, April 26-The advocates and op-
ponents of Dreyfus revision held rival
meetings in Paris this evening, and fights
occurred afterward In the streets.
Several persons were injured. The FL
garo's publication of the evidence of Capt
Cuignet before the Court of Cessation has
thrown the anti-revision party into con-
sternatlon.
The Eclair and all the antl-Dreyfus pa
pers are boiling with Indignation. Several
of them suppress altogether the testimony
of this officer whose principal testimony
was that the guilt Of Dreyfus could be
only inferentially established from the Sc
cret dossler.
The Gaulois falls foul of the Figaro for
ITS infamous publication"
The Eclair denounces Capt. Cuignet in
unmeasured terms,
Capt Cuignets denunciation of Col. Du
Paty de Clam as forger is held to be a
complete giving away of the case of the
general staff The only possible explana-
tion for it seems to be that Cuignet. act
ing under orders, is making Du Paty de
Clam scapegoat for the staff.
1t Is rumored that a daughter of one of
the members of the cabinet, desiring To
put an end to the scandal, gave to the
Figaro gratis, the reports of the evidence
before the Court of Cessation.
The Figaro begins to-day the evidence
offered before united chambers Of the
court
NJ Paleologue, one of the permanent Of
ficials of the foreign office, in the course
of long explanation regarding the cipher
kilograms, expressed the conviction that
the document contained in the secret dos
sier, purporting to be a telegram of for
eign agent to his government, indicating
the relations of Dreyfus with Germany,
and which Capt. Cuignet had cited as
proving guilt was a forgery.

Reed and Pauncefote Overlooked In
the Great Crush.

New York, AprM 26.-Richard Croker

line steamship New York Save for his
sister, Mrs. Warren, Mr.. Croker was un-
accompanied.
When the Tammany chief reached the
pier, half an hour before the big liner
pulled out of her berth, he was met by
to say bon voyage"
As the time for the sailing of the ship
grew near, the crush on the deck where
Mr.. Croker was holding his levee became
so great that II was with difficulty that
one could even elbow his way to the CEN
tral figure Hundreds OF, hands were
thrust in front of MIR Croker, and he
grasped as many as II was physically pos
sible to do.
The whole ship appeared to be alive with
men and women. The saloon passenger
list contained some 800 names and their
friends, combined with the assemblage of
politicians. made one of the biggest
crushes experienced on a departing liner
in many day.
Arriving at Southampton, Mr. Croker
will proceed directly TO his place at Wan
tage, where he has his racing horses.
Speaking of his stable, MIR. Croker said
before the sailing OF the ship:
81 can't tell just now what / shall do In
the racing line until | reach England
have about twenty or twenty-five horses,
six of whom are yearlings. j have not set
tied anything yet about engagements for
the big events except that Knickerbocker
Is entered for the Derby"
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British am
bassador. who, with his family boarded
the New York, and ex-Speaker Thomas B.
Reed, who was also a passenger, were
scarcely recognized In the excitement and
enthusiasm which attended the departure
of the Tammany leader.

and took refuge in a cave and thus es-
cared injury.

trihuted over an area of mile. The barn
and granaues were destroyed and con-
siderable live stock killed.

CQrrectIy-President VIII visit the
Raleigh.
Washington, April 26.-The case of Capt.
Coghian may be considered as finally
closed.
The German ambassador, DR.. Won Hol-
leben, called at the White House this aft
ernoon and had a conference on the sub
ject with the President of such satsfae-
tory nature, that the matter was regard
ed as settled.
The President explained the course the
navy department had taken in administer
ing a reprimand to Capt. Coghlan. 1t
was also pointed out that the officers ex-
PLANTATION of the incident stated that his
utterances had been much exaggerated.
on the part of the ambassador there was
every disposition to deal as lightly with
the matter as possible and not to premit 1t
to become source of friction
During the day the navy department ad-
ministered to Capt. Coghlan the reprimand
which had been determined upon yester-
day as stated in these dispatches. This
was in the form of letter from Secretary
Long to the officer 1t is said at the de-
partment that the letter will not be made
pubic before the officer received it, and
probably not then.
COghIan's Statement.
The department made public a brief
statement OF the contents of Capt. Cogh-
lan's letter in answer to Secretary Long
request for an Acknowledgement of the re-
sponsibillty for the utterances ascribed 10
him, but the contents were more fully
stated in yesterdays Associated Press dis
patches. The statement is as follows:
"Capt. Coghlan has replied to the de-
partment, stating that the newspapers
have not reported him with substantial
accuracy. Also that he intended no dis
respect or contempt to the German flag,
and is extremely sorry that any such in
depreciation was put upon his remarks.
Proper reprimand will be sent and such
action taken in respect thereto as Is
proper"

pays his visit of state to the cruiser at
Philadelphia next Friday 1t has been
determined that prior to the ceremonial
visit If at all, no change shall be made
in the command as the result of the at
terances of Capt Coghlan.

would be an unkind and unwarranted re-
Election upon the officers and crew of the
ship to abstain from paying the visit
which had been arranged for. and occupies

GERMANY Is MOST FRIENDLY.
So Declare the German-American
Editors at st. Louis.

Editors at st. Louis.
st. Louis, April 26.-The German newspa-
per publishers of Missouri held meeting
here to-day for the purpose of defining
their position regarding what they cali
"the new policy of imperialism"
Dr. Emil Protorious, editor of the West
liche Post, presided. After lengthy dis
cussion the following resolutions we're
unanimously adopted
l. Systematic and uninterrupted efforts
have been made during past twelve months
to destroy by mispresentations and uu-
founded sensations the good feeling and
the old historic friendship between the
United States and Germany. These ma
licious intentions have created among the
German-American population the greatest
indignation. We, therefore, regard it our
duty as loyal citizens to denounce these
continued falsehoods and misrepresenta-
tions which endanger the Old friendship of
the two countries.
q The friendship between the United
States and Germany is as old as the his
tory of the great American republic, and
has lasted uninterrupted. AS the govern
ment of Frederick the Great was the first
European Power which acknowledged the
young republic of the United States, Ger
many was the first to acknowledge the
supremacy OF the United states IN the
Philippines This fact alone proves plain
ly that Germany has no unfriendly inten-
tons, and no desire to oppose us in the
Orient.
s. In the glorious history of the United
States from the time of George Washing
ton to the days of the civil war, the Ger
n-American poulation has shown strong
and patriotic loyalty to the union. In
those days of the republic the German
Americans stood firm and true by the
union as they will do in the future. We
German-Americans and the Germans in
the Old country have been cruelty misrep-
resented. We proved our loyalty during
the past war and will continue to prove
il whatever the future may bring. But,
we protest most emphatically against all
falsehoods and intrigues which are intend
ed to interrupt in the interest of England
the friendship between the United States
and Germany.
A. True 10 the constitution and tradi-
tions of the republic, we take a firm stand
against militarism and imperialism,
knowing that the German-American citi-
zens stand almost unanimously against
this new course which would endanger the
welfare and the future of the republic.

RELATIONS MOST CORDIAL.

COghlaD Incident.
New York, April Pa copyright cable
to the Evening World from Manila, April
26, says:
Admiral Dewey was seen to-day by the
World correspondent on the Coghlan in
cident.
The admiral is still unacquanted with
the details of the famous speech, but he
declared that his relations with Capt.
Coghlan are most cordial.
He received a cablegram from the cap
tain of the Raleigh when that warship
reached Algiers, congratulating the ad-
miral on his promotion.
Admiral Dewey is certain that Coghlan
could not have said anything calculated
to place the admiral In a false position.
He showed the World correspondent a
letter from Admiral Won Diedrichs of the
German navy, congratulating him on his
deserved promotion and also his letter
in reply, which closed with the words f:
All our differences were of newspaper
manufacture
Admiral Dewey also says he is on the
most friendly terms with Prince Henry of
Prussia, who succeeded Won Diedrichs as
commander-in-chief of the German fleet
in Chinese waters"
