Declines American Gift.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 12.-J. T. Eichberg,
an influential Hebrew of this city is in
receipt of a letter from Nine. Dreyfus,
wife of the condemned artillery captain,
regarding the offer of Mr.. Eichberg to
establish a fund in America for the
purpose of purchasing sword for the
distinguished prisoner. MIR. Eichberg
some time ago proposed starting this
fund on subscription. but friends sug-
gested that he first communicate with
Nine. Dreyfus. He wrote her o long
letter, stating the sympathy which the
Jews of America and the people of tbs
United States generally felt for her hus-
band and begging to be allowed to pre-
sent the captain with sword as a gift
from his friends in this country.
The reply from Nine. Dreyfus. while
brief, is full of appreciation from hei
husband and herself for the courtesy
proposed by Mr.. Eichberg, but she de-
clares that she is compelled to decline
in behalf of herself and her husband.

toilet soap exported from Germany has
doubled since 1889. In that year it was

hold on the outside markets. Scarcely
any German soap comes to this coun-
try. England is Germany's best soap
customer, and last year bought 2,250,0O0
pounds out of total export of less than
100000. Belgium, Switzerland, the
Netherlands and France were the other
good customers. In 1898 Germany's ex-
ports of perfume amounted to s2.250, 900,

Rennes, Sept. 1.-THE judges of the
Dreyfus court martial, by mutual
agreement, have expressed to the presi-
dent of the republic, through Gen. Luz
cas-, the commander of the army corps
at Rennes, their sincere desire that
Dreyfus be not submitted to fresh de-

The court martial signed formal
recommendation for mercy yesterday
afternoon. Its object is to eliminate the

The recommendation will be handed to

Washington. Sept. 12.-It is believed

participation in the Paris exposition.
1t is known that expressions hostile to
The exposition, quoted from Senator
Stewart, are very widely sympathized
in, and it is thought that if the conyic-
ton of Dreyfus is permitted to stand
there will be very little friendly feeling
for France among members of either
the house or senate.
Such move, however. would be a
grave one. 1t is pointed out that to
Withdraw from participation in the eN-
position would be regarded as an Off
cial insult TO France.
There are now only two ways in
which congress could interfere: one
would be to revoke such part of the APP
preparation as has not been already ex-
pended in the expenses of the commits
sion, and the other would be to pass a
resolution that on account of the unset
lted conditions the valuable government

do either of these things would be suffi-

Several weeks ago James Heron was

charged with smuggling horses, and
taken to Nogales for hearing. While
at Naco. Bob Clayton, a friend Of Her
ron, asked permission to accompany
him to Nogales. The Mexican officers
consented but notified Clayton that he
would have to disafm himself, giving
him thirty minutes to do 30. When the
time was up the guards started toward
Clayton, who pulled gun and COM
menced firing, at the same time back
ing toward this side Of the line. The
guards, seven In number, returned the
fire. while two other cowboys. one of
whom was named France, came to
Clayton's rescue. who escaped to
this side, but received a bullet through
his body from the effects OF which he
died here last night. Capt. Molina, OF
the Mexican guards, was shot twice,

Judge Baldwin Explains.

JuOge BALDWIN, Explains.
New Haven. Conn, Sept. 12.-Judge
Simeon e. Baldwin was asked last eve-
ming If he favored the plan of DIR. Nick
erson, who, at a patients request, put.
him to death. when the case was clearly
a hopeless one. Judge Baldwin said:
Every physician should judge of his
own cases. For my part l am loath to
believe. as some persons have claimed,
that there are no physicians who are
not capable of telling when patient
can not possibly recover. In my address
I spoke only of the extreme cases. tax
ing it for granted that there was no
hope of recovery. / do not care to dis
cuss particular cases like that of DR.
Nickerson.'
Judge BALDWIN is president of both
the American Bar Association and of
the American Social Science Associa-
ton. The address in which he contend
ed that it is the right of man to die was
delivered before the latter body at Sar-
atoga, N. Y, on Sept. 4. He said in
part:
There are certain maladies that at
| tack the human frame. which are nee
tessarily fatal and others which natur-
! ally end in a speedy death, but may be
so treated as to lead to a protracted
state of weakness and suffering, ncom-
patible with any enjoyment of life OF
useful activity. and from which there
| can be no reasonable hope of ultimate
| recovery.
I'm uncivilized nations such diseases
| are of short duration. They are either
| left to take their course without inter-
ference or the patience is expedited on
| his journey TO the grave.
.In civilized nations. and particularly
of late years, 1t has become the pride of
many in the medical profession to pro-
| long such lives at any cost of discom-
| fort or pain to the sufferer, or OF sus-
| pense or exhaustion to his family.
But now, from the present stand
point of thought is not this misappli-
/ cation of the healing art? Is it not ar
unnatural contest with kindly as vel
as an unconquerable fate, or let us rath-
/ er say a kindly law by which God rules
| the universe and makes 1t a fit place fol
4 the habitation of those whom He has
made after His own spiritual image"
Later, in justification of the senti
ments expressed at Saratoga, he said IL
an interview here:
"As the old man has a right to 9
natural death. so has the unfortunate
babe that is born into the world witt
physical defects that but for surgical
