Were the Words Addressed to
General Mercler by Cap
tain Dreyfus.
STIRRING SCENE AT RENNES
Second Day of the Public Ses-
... sion Held-Mercler Hounded
by Audience.

RENNEs, August l2.-The red and
white facade of tie Lyoee was bathed
in sunshine at $40 o'clock this morning
when Captain Dreyfus crossed the Av-
enue de la Care and entertd the build.
ing for second public session of his
trial by court martial. Stringent police
precautions had been taken, but barely
twenty persons were gathered to wit
ness the crossing.
The session opened at $50 o'clock
with precisely the same formalities as
on Monday. The reading to the court
of Df. Ransom's report, relative to flnd-
ing document in the lining of Drey-
fus' waistcoat, was begun. On Dreyfus
being shown by Col. Jouaust the docu-
ment found in the lining of the waist
coat by the penitentiary officer, he ad-
mitted keeping it as souvenir copy of
the bordereau. He owned this calmly
and without any trembling in his voice.
Then be listened calmly to the reading
of DR.. Ransom's report.
A stirring scene closed todsy's ses-
sion of the Dreyfus trial. General Mer-
cier spoke for nearly four hours in
ruthless denunciation of Dreyfus, who
listened unmoved until Mercier con-
cluded by saying that if he had not
been convinced of the guilt of Dreyfus
and If the latter's conviction had not
been fortified since 1894, he would ad-
NIT he had been mistaken.
DTeyfus jumped to his feet as though
the words galvanized him into life aud
shouted IN voice which resounded
through the hall like a trumpet note:
you have lied, scoundrel!"
The audience burst into wild cheer,
whereup0n the ushers called for silence,
but when Mercler replied he would
admit Drevfus innocent if there was
any doubt, the prisoner shouted again
"Why don't you then ?"
at LnIs tnfre was anUJuer ouIDursJ or
applause. M Cssimer Perier then rose
and dramatically demanded to be con-
fronted With General Mercler in order
to deny some of his statements.
. Colonel Jousust ordered the court TO
be adjourned until Monday, at 6:30 a.
M, 1aEss confront alton, and as Mercler

rose en- masse and hissed and cursed
him, those at the back of the court
standing on chairs and benches in order
to better hound him down.

TO USE LIQUID AIR.
A Factory To Be Established At Los
= esW Angeles ALSO At Las Vegas.

~ A&yN ~ M a m
The Los Angeles Times recently
printed news Item to the effect that a
liquid air establishment is to be inaug-
urated in. that city for the manufacture
and sale Of the article for commercial
purposes. The Fay Fruit company of
Los Angeles. which ships over 2,UO0 car
loads of citrus fruit. vegetables and
other products, is believed to be on the
ground floor Of the enterprise. If the
Les Angeles factory is built, other fac
tories will necessarily be constructed at
Las Vegas, Kansas City and other
points on the way across the continent.
The Times says: sH
Mr.. Tripler has broken . record and
demonstrated the possibility of using
liquid air for. refrigerating cars in
which perishable goods are shipped, by
sending lIquid air from New York to
Chicago-s distance of 1000 miles.
Liquid air can be made nowadays at an
expense of from 10 to 20 cents a gallon
A gallon receptacle in an oroi-
nary cold storage room will last q week,
and do tte'work Of a ton of ice, the air
costing, however, not more than 60
cents. - -. - 49, Ases
: Mr.. 1ripler's devices make it possible
to regulate tie Temperature produced
by liquid air. The inside of the re.
frigerator cars equipped with his appli-
ances can be kept automatically at an
eauable temperature. It will probably
be necessary to refill the liquid air res
ervoirs at two or three points on the
journey cross the continent, just as it
is necessary to refill the ice tanks under
the present system, SO this will necessi-
tate the construction Of factories at
some such points as Las Vegas and
Kansas City. x a;
The superiority Of liquid air reffiger-
alton is based on many reasons. For
one thing, it will rednce greatly freights.
Five tons Of ice are now necessary for
each car. This occupies about one
sixth Of the car space. The liquid air
reffIgeEating apparatus will, it Is said,
take up very little room, and weigh but
q tritie in comparison, althougfl fifty
gallons are used at a time. Conse-
| qnently each car can carr much more
fruit than heFet0fore, and the waste of
Ehaulihe "a sixth carload of mere cooling
material will be obviated
Ice refrigeration means the filing of
| thB car with moisture. LIQUID AIR
melts into perfectly dry atmosphere It
produces fhe same circulation Of air
(which takes place IN an Ice EafriRer-
ated car, but instead OF Vapor, dry air

Dim Healev,slLetters


Postmaster Carruth has received in
struc'ions from Washington to hold
uncalled forletters addressed to Jim
Healey, the so-called cattle king, for
seven days only instead of the custom
ary thirty days before sending them to
the dead letter Office. Where return
cards are, printed or written on the
envelope, the letters are to be returned
to the senders. a batch of over fifty
letters was accordingly returned to their
writers or sent TO the dead letter Office.
1t is very doubtful If Jim Healey has
postofllce address. 1t is not known
at least, to the postofilce officials Healey
It will be remembered. was written up
not long ago as acattle and mining king
who lives in squalor southwest Of Ger
rillos. Healey lives at the place describ
sd and in the manner told of;but he Is
as poverty-stricke as his surroundings
would indicate.
One of the letters addressed to Healey
had special delivery stamp. 1t came
from Bucyrus, Ohio, and the feminine
author also sent letter of instructions
to Postmaster Carruth, In which she
says the reason that she affixed the
stamp was because Il am very anxious
that he should get SAID letter soon.'
There was evidently some doubt In the
mind Of the writer about Healey get
ting the letter at all. however. for she
a,so requests that if there is no way of
reaching Healey the letter should be re-
turned to her at Bucyrus. This will be
done.

PAUL DERouLEgI Arrested
He Was One of a Number of
ImperlalIsrs and Anti
Semites.

PARIS, August I'm. Paul De-
roulede, founder of the League OF
Patriots and member of the chamber
of deputies for the Angouleme division
of Charente, was arrested at o'clock
this morning at his estate at Croissey,
ear Paris. A number of members of
ths anti-Semite and Particle leagues
we're also arrested. "A semi-official note
issued this morning says:
"a certain number of arrests were
made this morning as result ofthe
magisterisl inquiry and by virtue of
article SO of the penal code regarding
conspiracy organized for the purpose
of accom- plishing change in the form
OF government. The persons impIi-
Gated belong to groups of the Royallst,
Youth and Patriotic and anti.Semitic
leagues. AT the trial OF the Neuilly
Barrack affair, facts relating to that IN
cident alone were used as a basis of
prosecution but searches were made
and documents were seized which led
TO the discovery of an organization
dated back to July, 1898, and a plot TO
seize the government by force. The
documents leave no room for, doubt
either IN regard to the existence of the
plot or as to the chief actors therein.
After a very close watch organized
proof was obtained that the same
groups were preparing for a fresh at
tempt at an early date, the proof being
such as to enable disturbance to be
averted by immediate measures. An
investigation of the affair was intrusted
to NJ. Fabre, examining magistrate. -
When an attempt was made to arrest
NJ. Guerin. president of the anti-Semite
league, he refused to surrender and bar
ricaded himself in his house, lie says
he has prepared to hold out for three
weeks, having a good stock of food and
fl earns. The doors and windows of
the residence are. barricaded and M.
Guerin announces he will blow up the
house before he surrenderS.
On application of M. sFabre, fresh
searches of various houses were made
this morning, including the headquar-
ters of the anti-Semites, where only nn
important papers were seized. A num-
ber of additional arrests Of unknown
persons were made in connection with
The conspiracy. ynT
Altogether sixteen members of the
anti-Semite and Patriotic Leagues ~and
Young Royalists have been arrested.
M. Guerin, as his dispatch ia sent,
armed with revolvers and KNIVES, still
holds possession, as his apartments are
headquarteIsO of the eanti-Semitic league,
TO which entrance is only possible after
running the gauntlet of strong body
of anti-Semites. 1t is reported that
M. Andree Buffet, vice president, of the
Young Royalist League, has been
arrested. mterA a.ft -

There was once in college a boy
and he was about to graduate. He
wrote back to the farm for his
mother to come She replied that
she could not do it. She said her
clothes were worn out and she had
no money to get new ones for the
occasion. She had already turned
her skirt twice and it was ragged
on both sides, The boy said come
any way. The poor old mother
went dressed in her best which was
not stylish The commencement
was in fashionable church The
son was prouder of his mother than
of all bis honors. He walked with
her down the aisle to the center Of
the church and saw her in one Of
the best seats There were tears 10
her eyes and she burst out weeping
for joy when her son came out and
pronounced the yaledictOry The
president pinned a badge on his
coat. The young man left the
stage and went directly to his moth
er. He took off the badge and pin
ned it to her dress There were
tears ia his eyes. Then he bent
over and kissed the wrinkled face.
The boy animated thus will make I
