When the first two witnesses had tes-
titled, and argued against NJ. BertIl-
Ions system. 1t was the opinion of the
sympathlzers of Dreyfus that II the
statements Of the witnesses were cor
rect, they had simply pulverIzed NJ.
Bertillon. The latter wished to, reply,
but the president of the court, Colonel
Jouaust, declined to allow the specialist
to go over his evidence again, taking
the ground that the trial would never
end II every expert did the same.
An amusing scene followed, NJ. Ber-
tlllon pleaded that he Ind a personal
statement to make. and mounted the
platform. But he had hardly uttered
half a dozen words when Colonel
Jouaust saw he was merely regrinding
his evidence. and. to the great satlsfac-
ton of the audience. CURLY told the
specialist to leave the platform, which
he did, discounted.
NJ. TeasOnlere's testimony against
Dreyfus followed, and then NJ. Chara-
way, the expert, who had previously de-
clared Dreyfus was the author of the
bordereau, was called to the witness
bar. His testimony proved to be OF
the greatest interest. as he came to con-
fess he had made an error. and said he
was now convinced that Esterhazy and
not Dreyfus. wrote the bordereau. This
announcement made deep impression
on the court, and was greeted with a
general murmur OF satisfaction.
The next expert. NJ. Pelletier, also
testified favorably to Dreyfus.
NJ Couard, another expert. then de-
posed that as the result Of his examln-
alton he had become convinced that the
bordereau was not written by Esterha-
~ but he could not say It was written
by Dreyfrs, because he had not seen
the prisoners handwriting. This Wit
ness kept the court in continual roar
OF laughter by the extraordinary modu-
iation Of his voice. misplaced emphasis
and gestures.

In brief, the mornings session may
be said to have been field day for
the handwriting experts, who devoted
themselves to demollshing one an
others evidence. The public followed
the dispositions llstlesslY but the
judges and counsel listened with the
greatest attention.
General Mercier did not seem to be
very cheerful to-day. He hardly said
a word to General Gonse the whole
morning, but during the brief suspen-
sion of the courts sitting he and Gen
erals Gonse and Roget walked up and
down the court yard Of the Lycee, en-
gagged in conversation.
General De Bolsdeffre was not pres
ert in court to-day. He has been alb
sent from the past few sessions, and 1t
is rumored that he is DESTROYS of leay-
ing the sinking ship. Of the general
stan.
The center of interest In the court
yard was Captain Freystaerter, of the
marine infantry, who testified SO Ia
vorably to Dreyfus on Saturday, and
who seemingly gave the lie to Colonel
aIaurel. who was president OF the court
martial In 1894 in a most important fea-
ture of the. latter's evidence. The cap
tain. dressed in blue black tunlc, In
dIgo blue trousers and wearing his five
decorations. held veritable reception
of his friends, who pressed around
him. and shook his hand. These friends,
however. were all civilians Not sim
gle uniformed officer spoke to him.
which is a first fruit Of his tFankness,
and a clear indication of the determine
tlon of the military clique to ostraetse
him.

Faust Turned Them Away.

Faust" at the opera house Fri
day evening merited the large and
fashionable audience which greeted it.
No play has ever been on the boards
here with as strong cast, such
magnificent scenery and wonderful
electrical effects. Porter J. White, as
Mephisto, was simply fine; his strong
voice and fine stage presence, con-
tributing much to the success Of the
play. 1t is seldom that our people
have an opportunity to witness a
standard play and especially with Such
a renowned actor as Mr.. White, and
those who attended enjoyed a rare
treat. - Beaver Falls, Pa, Democrat,

True to Life.

A recent Issue of the Fairmort In
dex says:
William Mckinley was born in
Ohio, January 2o 1874, and has there
fore just completed his fifty-fif year.
He is young to be President Of the
United States, for the records show
that most OF Our Presidents have been
three years nearer the sixty mark.
President Mckinley is the strongest
man, physically. that has ever occu.
pied the President cnair. In MS two
years Of Office he has never taken a
days vacation, ane he worked hardest
when summering at Lake Champlain
the first year of his term His latest
pictures show him cheerful md full OF
vigor, with world of determination
in his clear. cut mouth and chin. The
President has another popularity be-
sides that of being willing to work.
He is no talker and is not fond OF So
ciety. Like Gladstone he never wastes
a word; and, though he is the polished
gentleman and the finished diplomat,
he much prefers work to play writing
to dinner giving. His only oddity in
dress is his necktie, and he clings to
a string when the majority of Wash
ington statesmen are wearing the at
tractive fourth. hand and the up-to-
date puff.

The "Blue Laws,

The Wheeling Intelligencer makes
the mistake that many others have
made of snpposing that the ridiculous
travesties known as the Connecticut
Blue Laws" were real enactmentS,
and that some of them, notably, the
law making it misdemeanor for a
man to kiss his wife on Sunday, are
now on the statute books. The said
blue laws never had any existence
save is the prurient imagination of a
renegade Connecticut Episcopal
Clergyman named Samuel Peters, who
figured in the days OF the Revolution.
He was bitter tory, and went over
to the British. He invented the blue
laws, and published them with the
declaration that they had been enacted
by the Colonial Legislature. There
was not word of truth in the state
ment, and he very we'll knew it, but
he thought it good way to vent his
malig nant spite against those whom
he considered rebels and traitors.
The author of this vile libel was
generally known, Notwithstanding
his profession, as Sam Peters. He
did not have the respect or confidence
of even tt ose whose cause he es
poused. 1t is hardly worth while to
quote now his discredited falsehoods.

The Statesman is rantankerously

gret that our neighbor is so blinded
by partisan prejudice as to see no vir-
tue, truth or honesty in anyone not a
Democrat of the "Aunty' persuasion.
1t claims that Via and Brohard were
not elected yet it is fact that both
had majority of the votes cast in
their respective counties. So, also,
had Huntington in the Lewis-Web
ster district, yet they were counted
out. Was there no fraud in that? The
action against Kidd was in retaliation
and brought the McGrawites to terms.

The sentiment for the election OF
United States Senators by popular
vote is growing, and the resolution
introduced ii the Legislature reflects
similar movements in other states.
The expense to the tax payers OF
deadlocks and the attendant delay OF

other than those of the inherent love
of the American people to vote on
their representatives.

himself hoarse advocating electric
lights and other internal improve
ments, but since the city dads have
said LET ther, light and tn r.
was light" the Deacon has been wan
dering around the streets of King
wood like one of the lost tribes of Is
rael. He says this new tangled light
is too penetrating; that dark lantern
is plenty good enough for him. He
now wears goggles because the light
hurts his eyes and he has about quit
writing political lies, for the ways of
the wicked are dark, and Kingwood
is not dark town. At last accounts
the Deacon had decided to locate out
at Bald Knob, where his troubled
spirit would be at rest and there would
be no electric light to cast its refulgent
rays upon his innocent and lamb-like
countenance. May he rest in peace.

On Friday afternoon as we went at
press an alarm Of fire was turned in
for the First ward. The alarm was
occasioned by the exploding of gaso

Mr.. Kinsey Creque, III North Queen
street. The damage was only slight,
a hole being burned in the carpet and
pillow also catching fire. The blaze
was soon extinguished.
At the same time the alarm was
sounded the carpet on the floor of the
residence of Mr. VIM heidelberg er,

fire from the same cause. The dam
age here also amounted to but little.
