one of the bravest Incidents of the war.

natives that he and his men would
be eXterminated. The guides deserted
them before Mangatarem (or Mangala-

artillery was focused upon the main
street. along which the Americans adj
vanced.
The guns were manned by Spanards,
who said afterward that they had fired
over the heads of the Americans as
they desired that the latter should
win, hoping thus to gain their own
freedom.

GRAVE POLITICAL BLUNDER.
How the Verdict Is Regarded In Ger
man Official Circles.

Berlin, Sept. 1O.-The Dreyfus verdict
causes a feeling of almost stupefaction
in Berlin. It has been hoped that the
statement of the Reichsanzeiger, as
amanating directly from Emperor Will
lam would have rendered impossible the
repetition of what is described as lone
of the greatest judicial and political
crimes of any age
1t is universally agreed that the sec
ond verdict is grave political blunder,
a violation of the laws of civilization,
and an act of moral cowardice which
the world will find it difficult to par
don.
The German press unanimously
describes the verdict as cowardly and
impolitic, not to say criminal. The
Cologne Gazette says:
1T is a cowardly verdict, in the bar
barous spirit of the middle ages. By
this crime the judges have imposed a
line Of demarkation between France
and the rest of the world, which al
though it will not prevent diplomatic
intercourse and stay the common ex-
changes of products, will, according to
all the notions of right, justice, honor,
tolerance and ethics which the civilized
world bears with it in the twentieth
century, form a barrier only to be re-
moved by time and laborious effort. -
The other leading journals comment
upon the verdict in similar strains.

The Business Instinct.
Yonths, Cnrnnantnn.l


Too many people are accustomed to
think of politeness in address as appro-
pirate in company, but, quite out of
place in business. An engaging manner
is useful everywhere.
This axiom is amusingly illustrated
by a story which Justin Mccarthy tells.
Soon after the civil war, he says, 1
happened to be standing on bridge in
New York, amusing myself by studying
the crowd, when shrill, youthful voice
accosted me with, 'eap'n, shine yer
boots?" 3s
The chance distribution of military
titles was ready and liberal at the time,
when so many soldiers were returning
to civilian life, and I paid no attention
to the invitation.
Just then a rival bootblack passed,
and imagining where the cause of my
indifference lay. he advanced, and push
ing past the unsuccessful claimant, he
gave me military salute and appealed
to me with the captivating words:
Brigadier general. shine your
boots?"
I had my boots shined on the spot.
