SELFISH MAN PUNISHED.
A. Little Train Incident That Gave

Passengers on as Atlantic City train a

about 20 minutes, one of them asked the
open window fiend" if he would mind put
ting the window down. Mo- he replied,

In front of the man sat travelling man,
who took IN the situation at glance Quick

and the wind twisted them. Their owner,
alter a few moments of such violence, got
red IN the face and then put his window
down. y few moments later he leaned over
and asked the other passengers to shut off
the draught IN a similar manner, but, to the
intense amusement and qualification Of the
balance OF the people in the car, who mad
watched the little comedy all the way

1t Won the Admiration OF the Captain OF
the Vessel in Which He Returned
to France.

Paris, July 3.-Capt. Coffiners de
Nordeck, commander of the French
cruiser SfaX. which brought Capt.
Dreyfus to France, said, in an inter
view published yesterday, that he was
struck by the immense power of self
control displayed by Capt. Dreyfus
during the voyage. The prisoners at
titude throughout was lone of irony
and disdain." He had been suffering
severely from seasickness when he was
transferred to the SfaX, but he walk ed
with firm tread. and during the en-
tire trip never showed a sign of weak
ness or nervousness.
Capt. Dreyfus was ignorant of the
fact that a new court-martial awaited
him, and remG;..,G III ignorOnce dur
ing the first part of the voyage. When
he was finally informed, not muscle
of his face moved. He merely said:
Il have no i'll will toward anybody.
/ shall be glad to re-enter the army,
which ! have never ceased to love-
He did not allude to the subject
again during the voyage. Most of the
time he passed in reading.

HIS BUSINESS ABILITY.
As n Hanger On Young Mr.. blank
Was n Gritty and Glorious
Success.

This fair maid will have a handsome dot
some timeCand It Is the ambition of her
father to have her marry one whose fortune
viii at least eqCaI her own.
Il want you TO stop that young BIaIaa car
ing here he remarked, recently, IN the au-
tocratic way that some fathers have. He
has no prospects worth speaking of, there is
nothing to show that he has any business
ability, and don't want him hanging around
here any more.
What is business ability, papa
'Why, you know. Everybody knows, of
course. Let me see. Why, it's the ability to
see the main chance, to grab 1t, and hang on
till YOU get the money. That's what 1t Is,
and there s plenty Of young men in Detroit
that have il. Blank lacks Ii wOefully.'
oh, he doesZ I'm afraid, papa, that
you're speaking without proper information.
lie knows that I'll have 100000 some time.
That Is a main chance worth looking after.
Mr.. Blank saw it. He reached out and
grabbed for 1t. He's hanging on, and he's
going to get IL. DO you happen to know Of
any other young man of his age and limited
opportunities whose business ability has as
suued him so handsome a fOrtune!'
The old genteman's answer sounded sUS-
piCiously like smOthered profanity, and II
was fully FIVE minutes before the bewitChing
creature could bring the sunshine OF smile
10 his face. Now he tells few confidential
friends that young Blank has the making Of
one of the best business men in the city

A REBEL DEMONSTRATION.
The FIIipInos Made a Night Attack on tho
American Lines at San
Fernando.

Manila, July 1.-The rebels made a
demonstration at San Fernando Fri
day evening. They took advantage Of
TIE darkness and rain to make sally
against the north line, seemingly only
for the purpose of annoying the Amer
leans, as they failed to push their at
tack. The American loss was a private
of the Seventeenth regiment killed.
and four men wounded.
The firing began at ten o'clock, and
the rebels expended large quantities Of
ammunition. All the troops FASTENED
to intrench. in expectation of a gen
eral attack. The Seventeenth regiment,
the Twelfth regiment and the Iowa
regiment participated in the engage
ment, but did not advance beyond the
outposts.
After an hour the FilipinOs fired
rockets, apparently as a signal to cease
firing, but there were scattering shots
all night which kept the Americans
under arms.
The enemy's loss was not discovera-
BILE, but was probably small.

RAuRoADER'S TRAINED EAR.
Above the Trains Roar He Heard
the Cry of n Man Mingled
with the Trucks.

A gray-haired travelling man, who has
seen deal of life, pIffed his cigar into
coal and spun a weird yarn through
years ago." he said: 81 CHANGED to be
passenger on the through train be-
tween Cincinnati and Toledo. The air
was frightfully close and sultry, and
little party of us, who had sought
refuge in the smoking compartment,
threw the rear door wide open. 1t was
before the days of vestibules, and the
night wind came rushing in, so bur-
dened with the roar of wheels that we
could scarcely hear each other speak.
However, we sat there in our shirt
sleeves, burning tobacco and conversing
in yells, and were getting along fairly
well when all of a sudden big hand
some fellow in the crowd turned pale as
death and leaping to his feet he grabbed
the bellcord and gave it three violent
jerks. The lightning-like swiftness of
the act and the horror and consterna-
ton written on his face transfXed the
rest of us with amazement, and before
we could move we began to feel the cars
of the airbrake. In an astonishingly
short space of time the train had
kicked and pounded itself into halt,
and at the same moment in dashed the
conductor and brakeman.
"'What's the matter?' they gasped.
1.-The big man was still standing up
with his hand on the cord.
" Somebody's been crushed on the
brake beam under here he replied.
Every body ran out, and there, sure
enough, was the body of a man hanging
to the rear trucks. He was still breath
ing, but he died as we took him out, and
heaven preserve you from ever seeing
a human creature so manned and
mangled! He was a tramp, it seemed,
who had been stealing a ride, and when
the train had passed over a heavy up
curve the car sagged down far enough
to smash him like an egg shell. Well,
the strange part of the affair, of course,
was how our fellow passenger came to
give the alarm, and when we resumed
our places in the smoker he told us that
he had heard the poor devils shrek.
You see, he had been a railroad man
for years, and his ears were so attuned
to the ordinary crash and clatter of the
train that they had grown incredibly
sensitive to the least unusual noise.
That wall of mortal agony, which to the
rest of us was wholly inaudible, had, for
him, pierced the uproar like the note of
a bugle, and he surmsed instantly and
correctly just what had occurred.'-

AT THE PARIS MORGUE.
How the Dramatic "Third DeEree1
Is Worked on Murdercrs
in France.

y law that has recently come into
operation gives prisoners the right of
communicating with counsel within "a
hours after their arrest. One of the
immediate consequences of this meas
ure may be to put "A stop to those
"cOnfrontatiOns" at the morgue which
are so dramatic a feature of French
criminal procedure. With a view to
bringing Il murderer to confess, he is
taken to the mOTguc, and there brought
face to face with the body of his VIC
tim. Every artifice is used to make the
conformation as impressive as possible,
as it is hoped that the terrible sight
he is compelled to gaze on will so trou-
bic the murderer that he will lose com
mand over himself and make a clean
breast of his crime in his agitation.
When he enters the room he can see
nothing, as the stone bench on which
the body is exposed is concealed by a
curtain. The examining magistrate
presses him with questions, and then,
at what he considers the Opportune
moment, gives the signal for the cur
tain to be pulled back.
The murderers who have stood this
ordeal without flinching are comnara-
lively few. The majority of them eX-
hibit the utmost terror and implore to
be taken out of sight of the corpse.
There is chair in the room where
the confrontatiOns take place, in which
the majority of the most notorious
nurderers of the last 80 years have been
seated. Their names are inscribed on
its back, one of the first being Tropp-
mann, who, just before the Franco-Ger-
man war, butchered an entire family.
French criminal counsel have found
that these concentrations almost al
ways result in the confusion of their
clients, have looked into the matter,
and believe they have discovered that
the examining magistrate has no legal
right to subject prisoner to this or
deal. For the future they are going
to advise their clients to refuse to al
low themselves to be taken to the
morgue, and it seems that it is a moot
point whether the authorities will be
able to convey them thither by force
