simply fighting to regain the land the
Catholics took from them. A local
paper has asked who is John Browns
soul marching with-Otis or Aguin-
aldo.' | believe John Browns SOUL is
marching with Aguinaldo. Mr., Simp.
son said, in substance, that he would
rather be with Aguinaldo than with
Gen. Otis.
An old soldier in the audience arose,
and said that the speech was drifting
too much into politics. This was ap
plauded, and greeted with cries Of
throw him OUT and "kick him of
the platform. . Men and women arcst
and Kissed, and the men kept crying
put him out. !"
Mr.. Simpson appealed 70 the GROVE

spoken only 10 minutes.

WILL CONTINUE THE STRUGGLE.
synopsis of the Letter Written by al. Emhe
lola to Madame Dreyfus.


Paris, France, Sept. %. The Aurore,
this morning. published a letter Wit
ten by NJ. Emile lola to Madame ORGY
fus, in which the writer reioices at the
former captains pardon, but says tnat
it doubtless comes late.
lit is revolting,'' writes NJ. lola,
'to obtain pity when one asks Tor
Justice; and all seems to have been
preconcerted, in order to bring about
this last iniquity. The judges, wish
ing to strike the innocent. in order to
save the guilty, seek refuge in an act
of horrible hypocrisy, which they call
mercy.
NJ. lola expresses regret that the
government trembled before the AFRO
gance of q faction, and adds: 10
think of going to appease the .peoFie,
by means of iniquity is the height OF
voluntary blindness. The only way to
have saved Frances honor, in the eyes
OF the world, would have been to sub
nit the case to the Court of Cas-
sation, but our degradation is such
that we are reduced to congratulating
the government for having shown itself
merciful. But this rehabilitation,
which ought to have been for the
glory of tho country, done i'm
mediately, your husband may await
with upheld head We are going to
continue the struggle. We are going
to fight for Justice tomorrow as vigor-
ously as yesterday. What we want Is
the rehabilitation of an innocent man
less for him, who has SO much glory,
than for the rehabilitation of France. "

JOSEPH a. mA.LALIEu DEAD.


Postmaster Hugh G. Browne has
received letter announcing the
sudden death of Joseph fl. Mallalieu,
formerly of this State, at Lincoln,
Neb., two week ago yesterday, the news
being great shock to Mr.. Browne. as
he and Mr.. Malalien were roommates
at the Wilmington Conference Academy
at Dover for two years.
Mr.. Mallalieus death resulted from
blood poisoning, caused by wound
on the leg. Deceased was clerk of the
county court and several months ago
while in the Court House he struck
his leg against the iron frame Of a
bench, infiicting the wound which
eventually resulted in death.
Deceased was born in Kent county,
Nd, 32 years ago. He completed the
course at the Conference Academy in
4 1886 and went to Nebraska, where he
! entered the Nebraska University. Five
years ago he was admitted to the bar
of that State and apparently had a
bright future before him. Shortly aftet
being admitted to the bar Samue
Lowe was elected clerk of the court
and Mr.. Mallalieu was appointed hi:
deputy and two years ago he succeeded
Mr.. Lowe as clerk. A widow and ONT
child survive him. An uncle, John T.
Mallalieu, is superintendent OF tht
