He Says Socialists VIII Triumph AZ
Dreyfus Is Acquitted.

LONDON, Sept. 4-Major Count Ferdi-
nand Walsin Esterhazy, writing to the
Evening News to-day, describes the expert
handwriting evidence in the court-martial
of Capt Alfred Dreyfus at Rennes as an
overwhelming mass Of stupid nonsense. He
refers to the late Lieutenant Colonel Henry,
Major Du Patty de Clam and himself as be-
ing ''victimized by the general staff to cover
their own faults" Continuing he says:
France is being devastated by a civil war
all the more abominable because it Is not
being fought with arms. The Dreyfus YER
dict will not end the strife. The acquttal
of Dreyfus, for which the government is
working secretly, will result in the COM
system and the triumph of the Socialists"

Says Dreyfus IL Guilty.

NEW YORK, Sept. "A dispatch to the
World from London says: "Esterhazy, being
asked by reporter of the Sunday Special.
after reading the evidence given at Rennes.
If he still deems Dreyfus guilty, answered:
Yes. guilty; most decidedly so. And yet
am afraid the court-martial is going to ac-
quit him. 1t looks very much like 1t just at
present, at any rate
The interviewer asked what in that case
would happen to Mercier.
Oh replied Esterhazy, MERCER GER
tainy will be condemned for this miserable
traitor of Jew, and that will only be the
beginning of the deluge. Mark my words
the acquittal of Dreyfus will be only the
beginning of trouble in France
Why them he was asked, don't you
who know the truth about everything, &c
over to Rennes and help set things right?'
No. said Esterhazy, with a sneer, L am

The social prophets are at variance III
their predictions concerning the coming
season. It is a way that experts have.
There are pesslmistically-i inclined author
tiles who talk as if every man in society
will be wearing Army blue in the Philip
pines before the winter is through. 1t isn't
a cheerful outlook for maids and matrons,
nor a particularly alluring one, most likely,
for the men. Happily, there is brighter
horoscope cast by more joyous interpreters
of events to come-and the comfort OF II is
that it is twice as apt TO come true. The
middle of two extremes constitutes fair
average. and by that reckoning there is
every proba bility that this winter will be
as gay as even the debutantes can wish.
Another week of weddings and then fash
ionable interest Will be centred on the sea
sons buds.
One of the first debutantes of the season
to be presented will be Miss Martha Dal-
zell, whose coming-out tea will occur oD
November Il. Miss Sanger will be intro
duced on November 2S and Miss Mary
Hopkins on the following afternoon. The
date OF Miss Gladys Ffoulke's debut has
been announced for December 3. Her
cousin, Miss Dorothy Coggeshall, will be
introduced on the same occasion.
II is said that Mrs. Mckinley will sig
nalize the coming out Of Miss Grace Nc
Kinley with ball for young people. Miss
Anna Hitchcock, the young daughter OF the
Secretary of the Interior who will make
her bow TO Washington society this win
ter, cannot officially be called a debutante,
as she received with her mother and elder
sister at st. Petersburg toward the close
Of Mr.. Hitchcock's residence in that city
as the United States Minister to Russia
The debutante list includes also Miss Eliza
Bates, second daughter of the PaymasteI
General of the Army Miss Alice Ward
granddaughter of Mrs John S. Ward Miss
Eta Wallace. daughter of Commander
Rush Wallace Z. S. n, and Miss Julia
Kellogg, only daughter of Col. and Mrs.
