THE TRIAL OF DREYFUS.


1t is announced in Paris that the
Dreyfus court martial will open at
Rennes on August I. 1t is strange
that this ancient capital of Brittany
should have Leen selected by the
French Government for the retriai of
Alfred Dreyfus by court-martial on Ills
return from the now more than ever
celebrated lie du Diable. Brittany is
one uf the Oldest and most glorious
provinces of France; the home of old
legends and blue blood, where religion
is still the pure, boundless faith OF the
early crusaders; the stronghold of
French honor and loyalty, not to men
ton the fact that there exists in Brit
tany an almost fanatica) hatred of The
Jewish race, allied to bitter autagon-
ism to all forms OF Republican govern
ment. Dramatic elements have not
been wanting in this shocking "Af-
faire Dreyfus," but the most dramatic
of all is without doubt the stealthy
landing of the broken-down convict at
dead of night and amid the fury of the
element, which seemed to protest
against this removal of a :andal which
ha, placed France in so unfavorable a
light before the eyes of the civilized
world.
Rannes is most interesting place.
Souvenirs of its past history meet one
at every step, and the splendid palace
where is to be held the second trial of |
Drey fus is the same in which Henry |
Ii. of England, presided over the
meetings of his Parliament.

ROBERT G. INGERSOLL DEAD.

The soul of Robert G. Ipgersoll has
left this world, the scene of his i'm
potent strivings against his Maker, to
| wait in another state of being the
Judgment of the last, Great Day, that
he may go to his own place" Let not
his fellow mortals presume to say
what that place is, remembering the
Divine injunction Judge not, that ye
be not judged"
Col. lpgersoll was the son of coz
gregational minister, and was born in
Dresden, New York, August II, 1888,
but was reared in Vermont. When
his father was preaching in theatre
in New York city, his church having
been destroyed by fire, Robert, then
child 3 years old, was baptized in
the theatre. When he was ten years
old the family went &c Wisconsin, re-
moving later to Peoria, Illinois, where
his father, Rev. John Ingersoll, died
May Z, 1859, and was laid to rest in
Springdale cemetery. In 1860 Inger-
soil ran for Cor ress in Illinois ON the
Democratic ticket against Judge
Kellogg. Ingersoll was defeated and
it was the last time he ever ran for
Office. He went to the war in 1862 as
Colonel of the Eleventh Illinois Cav
airy and served with distinction and
gallantry. In this year he married
Miss Eva Parker, of Tazewell county,
ILL.,, who survives him. He was ap-
pointed Attorney General of Illinois,
in 1866, by Governor Oslesby. In 1868
| he was spoken of for Governor, but
being barred by his skepticism, he
did not seek the office. In April, 1887,
he was admitted to the bar in New
York city, and his home had since
been in the East. His death resulted
| from heart disease with which he has
been afflicted since 1896 Col. Inger-
soil was highly endowed by nature
with those qualities of head and heart
which tend to endear a man to his
fellows. The Philadelphia Times says
of him editorially:
THE life of this man, endowed to
| win the brightest laurels in the gift
OF a great and generous people, must
he written in failure. Whyf Because
his richest gifts, his keenest wit, his
most persuasive eloquence were used
| to break down the Christian religion,
the most beneficent civilization the
world has ever known, the only civili-
Zation that has worked to the eleva-
ton and real advancement of man
kind. His fatal fault was not that he
was an unbeliever, but that he parad-
ed his unbelief and sought TO de-
stroy the faith of others. He tried to
tear down the dearest possession God
has given to His children, and offered
nothing in its place. Therefore is
this mans name, which should have
been placed SO high, written in the
sand.
But we can safely leave his final
Judgment to Him who in his death
agony cried Father, forgive them,
for they know not what they do"
while we lay flowers on the coffin OF
tender father, a faithful husband,
generous friend, an open handed
benefactor, a brave soldier and an
uuflinchiDg patriot"

THE NEW hartford AGRICUL-
TURAL SOCIETY.


The entire county will rejoice that
the effort, begun short time ago, to

the Society is $500, SO that enough is
already pledged to purchase all of the
rights and title of the old society in
the fair grounds and Leave $500 in

A capable and efficient board Of
directors was chosen and the new
society will be incorporated with

tanned in their public spirited efforts.
The buildings of the society are
greatly in need of repairs and improve
ments and the newly elected directors
have a right TO expect the people of

for the remainder of the capital stock,
the entire amount of which will not be
more than is needed to put the proper
ty in good condition and ensure first

The subscriptions already made

sacrificing and devoted efforts of MIR.

The Spring Festival.

The Chattanooga Spring Festival
program embraces the best features of
Mardi Gras and of themusical festivals
held every spring by many cities of tho
country. 1t has the gorgeous pageantry
of the Mardi Gras, without its obiec-
tionable dehauchery; it provides the
music of master artists, hot only for
cultivated ears, but for poular audien-
ces as well.
It's program includes flower parade,
which in beauty and variety has no SUI
perior, il an equal, in this country,
north, sQpth, east or west.
AT the same time with our festival
this year several states will dedicate
monuments at Chickamauga Park. Ken
tucky has already chosen May 3D. the
second day of the festival, for her
dedication. Georgia and Illinois are ex-
pected to dedicate on May the I'd and
4th, These events will bring thousands
of old ex-confederate and union sol
diers together from the states mention
ed and from other parts of the country.
In this respect the occasion will be
so important that Preident Mckinley
may be induced to be present. II is
known that he likes to fraternize
with the veterans of both sides
and that he would be glad to VISIT
Chattanooga and Chickamauga at this
time. No effort will be spared to secure
his presence Whether he comes OF not,
however, it is certain that several men,
bers Of the cabinet and other very dis
tinguished public men from Washing
ton will come. These officers, with the
governors Of Tennessee. Illinois K en-
tuclly and Georgia and their stats and
other noted men who will come with
them, will make most imposing as
semblage.
Besides these attractions, there will
be many side features equally as inter
esting, among them being an exhibit OF
Chattanooga manufacturers and OF
women's work and fine arts. A tourns.
ment in which all the cities and towns
in the Chattanooga districts will be in.
vited to participate will be another
unique function.
The programs will be so arranged
that guests will have opportunity moi
only to witness the events mentioned 4
but to take in the sights around Chat
tanooga, which are themselves worth {
visit to this city.
This is but an outline of the attrac
tions presented, but they are snflicien
to show that no other city in the coun
try can equal them. That every detail
will be carried out to perfection canno
be doubted when It's remembered tha
