Women Listened With Relish.

NJ Gribelins reference to the rela-
tions OF Dreyfus with demj don DANES
proved the most appetizing portion OF
the mornings proceedings. The audi
ence, among whom were a number OF
women, listened to NJ. Gribelin's state
ments with characteristic relish. A sub
dued litter went round when NJ. Gribe-
lin even professed to know the exact
amount Dreyfus spent upon his various
amours.
NJ. Gribelin gave his testimony with
apparent sincerity. But he did not
strike one as being particularly intelli-
gent. Nothing in his appearance would
contradict the opinion OF Dreyfusards
that he was Maj. Lathier's tool in the
Vaccinations OF the general staff
against Col. Picquart, former chief of
the intelligence department, who listen

temptuous patience.

A Better Impression.

more confident bearing and replied TO
the witness I'm a calm voice without any
theatrical gestures and his remarks
were put SO luci9iy that he appeared
TO make an impression on the judges all

ranted display OF Partially.
NJ. Bertulus had been confronted with
the last witness, Captain Junck and
General Gonse had defended the lat
ter when Col. Plcquart rose and asked
TO be allowed TO refute some OF Juncks
remarks. Col. Jouaust made a gesture
OF impatience and shouted: What.

An outburst OF hooting and kissing
came from the audience at such a dis
play OF unfairncss from the president.
Judges and gendarmes quickly sun
pressed the noise, but Jouaust under

Venture Kept Quiet.

There has been very little said about
the new firm so faf and, in fact, prob
ably owing to business reasons the ven.
ture has been kept very quiet. Mr..
Walter Calendar OF the firm of CAL
lendar, McAuslan * Troupe said this
morning that he knew nothing about
the new firm. but suggested that some
OF the employees in the store might.
From gentleman who is quite promi-
nent In the dry goods trade the sugges-
ton came that in all probability the
Dig dry goods firm OF III. Il. Ciafiin &
Co. OF New York were back Of the new
venture. but this could not be verified.
The same gentleman said however
that he knew Of no firm that had ever
started out under more favorable au-
spices, and he foresaw success for the
three young men.
Naturally the opening of the store by
the new firm entails the removal of the
Tillinghast Catering company to some
other location, and while Mr.. L. A.
Tfllinghast could not be found, it was
learned that the company would still
be located on Westminster street in a
very favorable situation. several stores
being at present under consideration. A
prominent business man. who generally
knows what he is talking about. ca
sually remarked that he considered that
the change would be a distinct gain for
the Tillinghast company, which. he said
he had reason to believe would be more
''on deck" than ever before and greatly
enlarge it's business, the change sof
premises affording an opportunity
which has been sought for some time.
Thus Ii would appear that the trans
action will be advantageous to all con-
cerned and Providence will be the
g,ainer in the increase OF facilities af-
forded 10 the purchasing public.
