PARIS. Aug. Sat the conclusion Of yester-

fus rested for an hour. after which he spent
some time In working on his case. writing upthe
points on which he believed he would be qucs-
toned. NJ. Demange. Of Dreytus's counsel. Is
delighted with the course of yesterdays pro-
ceediugs. He ascribes Dreyfus's fits Of tremb-
ling TO fever.
Dreyfuss trembling was most pronounced
in his lower jaw and in his legs said NJ
DemanRc. His weakness is due to the fact
that he ha had only a milk diet recently"
NJ. Demangc relates some interesting facts
respecting Dreyfus's detention as a prisoner
on Devils Island. Dreyfus, he says. was
patient in his suffering and completely won
the hearts OF his immediate jailers. who Sc
cretely did their best to relieve his misery
when it was possible to do so behind the backs
Of the sergeants and the superior officers
Thus when Dreyfus was In irons, the Jaers
would silently craep into his cell for the pur-
pose OF padding his mauacles with a handker-
chief or q scarf in order to prevent the friction
OF the gives against his sore flesh. the prisoner
looking gratefully in their faces to express the
thanks which he was afraid to utter in words.
At daybreak the jaers would return and
move the evidence OF their charity.
NJ Demange says that when NJ Bertillon's
scheme Tor me detection OF handwriting was
first shown to Dreyfus, tho prisoner asked for
an explanation OF it. VI. Demange replied that
none was possible. as it was the work OF
mailman. Dreyfus asked that tho scheme be
left with him for two days, which was done
At the expiration Of two days Drevfus told
Demange that the scheme was remarkably
clever and mathematcaUy true. once the
premises were admitted but" he added.
tho premises. it is needless to say. are
wrong" Thus saws NJ Dcmange. lit ap-
pears that the only man approaching Bertillon
is the wretch whom that scientist sought to
keep in tho Galleys."
NJ Lahori said: He only keeps up his mag
nincent will power by moral courage. inspired
by his love for his wife and children. He would
have liked to have his wife attend the trial. but
she was unable to face the ordeal. Capt. Drey-
fus is most anxious to know the impression
made upon tho public by the reports OF yester-
days proceedings
The anti-rcvlsoulst newspapers are unani-
nous in Expressing their belief that yesterdays
proceedings augur i'll for Dreyfus. They
maintain that the prisoners curt dcnials OF

compnnied BY conclusive explanations.

At 1t Through q Glass.

ORANGE. N. j.. AUG S.-People continued to
visit the quarry OF John O'Rourke on Orange
Mountain to-day to look at the rock on which
the figure OF Saint Anne is made out. Among
the visitors were Col. and Mrs. Daniel F. Mini
han Of Orange. who were accompanied by
Father Murphy OF Rochester. After they had
looked at the rock through glasses they said
that the lines were probably due to volcanic
action. The Italians believe that there is
something supernatural In the rock and scores
OF them visited the place to-day. Some Of the
men brought their families with them. The
stone bearing the figure is fifty feet up on the
side OF the mountain. The quarry is a crater
OF an old volcano. 1t came to public attention
dozen years ago when the late Prof. Cook. the
New Jersey State Geologist. discovered the
volcano crater.
