contains three documents
 ..one-a document known as the DsAV< igner, the terms og which are about as fol- lows: Doubt the proofs; service-lettersi st. uation dangerous for men with French officer; no information from an officer ot the line; important only as coming from the ministry; already somewhere else-'
 'sTwo-Document containing the words, 'Cette Candle de D.
 ''Three-A document which is nothing but the report of a journey to Switzerland made in behalf of foreign power'
 ''The second part of the dossier,' contdn- ued Pfcquart consisted chiefly of sup plementary review of the first It con- talned the gist of seven or eight documents, one of which, 'Cette Canaile de D. will serve for the purposes of comparison. It also contained the correspondence of at- taches A and B. These initials, it should be borne in mind, represent Colonel schwartzkoppen, formerly German militia " attache of Paris, and Major Panezzerdi, the former military attache of Italy at the French capital"
 Wouldn't Allow Him to See It
 At this juncture the colonel said it would facilitate his explanations if he were per nftted to see the secret dossier.
 "I have already had 1t in my hands, but I fear memory may fail me on some points,
 "What you ask" replied the president of the courtmartial, lis impossible. The minister's orders are absolute. The secret dossier can only be examined under certain conditions"
 "I regret it." answered Picquart; but l will try to refresh my memory"
 The witness next explained why Major Patty de Clams translation of the d'Avig- non document, which has been classed as ldiotfc, was open to doubt and why the document, if it had any meaning whatever, was as applicable to Esterhazy as to Drey- fus.
 Regarding the correspondence of the military attaches the witness demonstrated the insignificance of the information asked for While Paty De Clam regarded the correspondence as convincing and as clearly indicating an officer of the second bureau, Picquart maintained that the terms of the correspondence indicated that the writer intended to ask a friend and not a spy for the information desired. Many headquarter officers, he pointed out, were on cordial and absolutely intimate terms with the foreign military attaches.
 Colonel Picquart then took up the "Cette Canaille De D. document He called the attention of the court to the fact that it was addressed by Scwartzkoppen to Paniz- zardi and not vice versa as long believed. After giving his reasons for believing Dreyfus was not the person referred to in that document, Pcquart showed how Paty De Clam endeavored to ascribe the author ship of the document to Panizzardi with the view of establishing a connection which in reality did not exist between the various documents in the indictment against Dreyfus.
 The document referring to the French agents journey to Switzerland, of which Schwartzkoppen is said to have been in- formed. was only slightly commented, upon by the witness as he did not attach much importance to 1t.
The age-herald., 1899-08-19

he ascertained that the anti-Dreyfus proofs were worthless.
 He began by detailing how he first learned of the existence of Esterhazy and the efforts to discover something about him.
 The witness earnestly asserted that the first occasion on which he saw Esterhazy's name was when he read the address of the Petit Blue He said he was not acquainted with Esterhazy and never had Esterhazy watched. Previous to this the utmost ef- forts had been made to prove the contrary and to show Picquart knew Esterhazy be- fore the Petit Blue.
 The colonel emphasized this point, with the view as explained, of showing how cer- tain newspapers had trastied the facts and he created a mild sensation by adding ''I shall have occasion to point our other and similar examples"
 The witness then rebutted the charges against him of unnecessarily delaying the prosecution of Esterhazy. He said his ob- ject was to avoid a suspicion in regard to an officer who, perhaps, was entirely innocent.
 'eWhat mistake" he added. would have been aNerleu III loJt, tHSJ dNiSo TIT N4AS same way in regard to Dreyfus.'
 This remark caused murmurS of approval in the court. What the witness gath cred about Esterhazy's character, he con- tinued, created the worst impression of him, but he learned nothing to connect Esterhazy with any act of espionage, there fore, he did not mention his suspicious. An agent however, was ordered to watch Esterhazy who had completely compro- missed himself through his relations with an English company, of which he had agreed to become director. That could be permitted in the case of a French officer, said Picquart. Moreover, Esterhazy gam bled, led life of debuachery and lived with Mademoiselle Pays"

 MINUTE DETAIL AND < CLEARNESS OF LANGUAGE
Made Profound Impression-Plcquart In sists That De Clam Should be
 Made to Testify.

The minute detail with which PicQuart dealt with the evidence, the clearness of his language and his deductions had great effect upon the audience and eiicited gen eral admiration. The former chief of the intelligence department concluded his ex- animation of the first portion of the secret dossier by saying: May I be allowed to express deep regret at the absence of Ma jor Du Patty de Clam. It seems to me in- dispensable that this officer, who wrote the commentaries on the secret dossier, should be summoned to give evidence here. He could give us his "reminiscences and would help him. Laughter)
 "But," added Picquart, "since am deal ing with this question of the commentaries of Major Du Paty de Clam, permit me to point out to you, gentlemen, that this document was not the property of any par ticular minister. It was classified as be- longing to the intelligence department and as such it formed part of a well-defined dossier-a dossier which was shut in one of the drawers of my desk, and which was abstracted from it. This commentary, therefore, is upon a secret dossier docu- ment, which was improperly removed from my department. "(Sensation)
 Continuing, the witness said: ''A men, ton was made yesterday of the disappear ance of documents. That is the case in point
 Discusses Second Part
 Turning to the second portion of the dossier, Colonel Picquart described a num- Der of documents in it as forgeres, and said the police reports therein contained show nothing serious against DreyfuS. He explained that they embodied the theme mostly utilized by police spies in order to dupe the intelligence, and asserted that their information was mostly worthless, embroidered or false or prepared in order to make interesting reading.
 ..In the inquiry made by M. Quesnay De Beaurepair," (former president of the civil section of the court of cassation), continued Picquart, you have an example of the sort of people who can present in the most spacious guise what amounts absolutely to nothing You cannot imagine, gentlemen, was perplexity it is to get money, if only franc piece has been brought to the in telligence department in the shape of so- called 'information,' which examination has proved to be worthless"
 Dreyfus displayed the keenest interest in Picquarts protracted analysis of the dos sler, to which the whole audience listened without profound attention. The members of the courtmartial and the former minis ters of war were equally interested. Of the latter, Generals Billet and zurlinden were ill full uniform. General Mercier was at tired in civilian clothes. Near them sat M. Bertullus, the examining magistrate, wsao gave such strong testimony for Drey- fus yesterday. Madame Henry. widow of Lieutenant Colonel Henry, who yesterday taxed M. Bertullus with being a Judas, was not present.
 How He Convicted Esterhazy
 Concluding his examination of the secret dossier, Colonel Picquart explained how he had acquired the conviction that the bor- dereau was written by Este rhazy, and how

 About the Henry Forgery
 In order to make the proofs complete. witness continued his Investigations with the utmost discretion. In his opinion the only event of importance in the Dreyfus affair since the discovery of the bordereau was the Henry forgery, perpetrated Oc- tober 31, 1896.
 He added that it must have been handed immediately to General Gonse Shortly be- fore Henry perpetrated the forgery an agent named Guenee, Henry's right hand man, prepared a report declaring M. Cas- tellin, republican revisonist deputy for Laon division of Aisne, was about to play the hand for the Dreyfus family by un- masking in the chamber of deputies the prisoners accomplices, thus having the af- fair reopened.
 Colonel Pioquart incidentally cc:nolainei bitterly that while he was. afill chief of the intelligence department, Henry's tool, Cue nee should be allowed to mako reports against tho witness, who had then estab- lished connection between the reports of Guenee and the false deposition of Henry, who had testified that he had s- en the witness seated in Maitre LaSori's office with the document containing .As s-csls 'cette Cantaitte D. before them. EsSa new scheme said the former chief of tde intelligence bureau was compliment dos ve)epmept of the preceding.
 The next feature of Picquart's deposition was his recital of the intrigues against some and the pressure exercised by Henry with the view of fixing on the witness the blame for communicating information to the newspapers. Then turning to tho distant mission upon which he was dis ne felt when he was being removed be- cause he was no longer wanted as tho head of the intelligence department. He explained that if this disgrace had been frankly avowed it would have been less painful to him. The colonel also said that during his absence his correspondence was tempered with.
 Henry's Persecution
 Dealing with his mission to Tunis, which Picqua1t said ought to have been intrusted to commissary of police, the witness de- clared it was then that Henry. abandoning his grderhand intrigues.. began a cam raign of open precaution. Henry wrote to the witness, accusing him of communi- caring information to the press, with dis closing the contents of the documents and with attempting to subordinate off,

t' -.' C THE WITNESS WAS
 WISELY DISTRESSED
Had Been Speaking for Over Two Hours and Had Frequent Attacks
 of Coughing

At this stage of his deposition Colonel Picquart, Who had been speaking for two and a half hours, was visibly distressed. He had occasional attacks of coughing, but managed to continue, Colonel Jouaust not showing any inclination to suspend the session of the court in order to give him needed rest.
 The witness then turned to the news paper attacks on Dreyfus, saying that the information regarding the bordereau con- tained in them convinced him that they had been inspired by some one closely con- nected with the Dreyfus affair.
 They could not, he added, be attributed to the Dreyfus family, while they contained expressions familiar to Du Paty de Clam, whom it would be interesting to hear on the subject"
 Witness next said he asked permission to inquire into the sources of the articles, but was forbidden to interfere in any way whatever.
 Wanted to Squelch It
 Describing his interview with General Gonse. September 15, Picquart said: ''When I asked General Gonse for permission to continue the investigation, insisting on the danger of allowing the Dreyfus family to proceed with their investigation alone, the general replied that it was impossible, in his opinion, and in the opinion of General DeBoisdefre and the minister of war to reopen the affair. When I pressed the point in order to make General Gonse un- dmstsnd that nothing could prevent its reopenng, if it could be believed Dreyfus was innocent General Gonse replied: If you say nothing, nobody will die
 "'General,' I replied, ''what you tell me Is abominable. I do not know what I shall do, but won't carry this secret with me- (Great sensaHon.)
 q at once left the room" added the wit ness. "This is what occurred. know my account is disputed, but positively swear to it," said Pcquart, as he empha tcally smote the bar In front of the witness box, and he looked in the directinn of the gen. erafs.
 The colonel next described his intentions with regard to Esterhazy, which Generals Gonse and De Boisdeffre had forbidden him to carry out. He attached particular importance to this point, as it contained clue to subsequent occurrences. Later the witness said that while Paty de Clam evil dently acted wrongly in disgusting himself with a false beard and blue spectacles, perhaps he was authorized to do so.
 After a few minutes suspension of the session, Colonel Picquart resumed his

 over, devoted most of the months of July to a journey for the headquarters staff. which also prevented me from attending to my ordinary duties. I was therefore able to give only very intermittent atten- tion to the Queneli case. Besides this Queneli was a returned convict, who had contravened a decree of expulsion and had been caught red-handed in another crimI- nal act He was, at first, not particu- larly interesting parsonage"
 Roget Interrupted
 At this point General Roget arose and said: 'I wish to be allowed to reply" ''You shall" said Colonel Jouaust.
 Colonel Picquart, continuing, said: q protest absolutely against the allegation that I consented to the communication of secret documents to members of the Drey- fus courtmartal, without the prisoners knowledge. I never ordered such com munication, and if 1t was done, it was not with my cognizance.
 'I hasten to add that in my opinion It would have been an insult to the court to believe its members would lend themselves to such machinations.
 CHI itduy, Icpcdl, tO IGpig lO every question. I will only point out that what General Roget has recounted in detail was published in general terms in the Gaulois January 7."
 Then the colonel proceeded to discuss the phrase occurring in the bordereau: "I am going to the maneuvres" He said there was no question of probationers going to the maneuvres in September. These he pointed out, would have curtailed their period of probation in an entirely unusual manner.
 Examined the Dossier
 After dealing with the testimony of ex- perts at the courtmartial of 1894. Picquart proceeded to examine the secret dossier, a close analysis of which he asserted was particularly necessary owing to the weight the document had with members of the courtmartial in 1894.
 "The dossier,' continued the witness. "may be divided into two parts. The first

 'I wonder now if had one or two inter- views. But I still see General De Boies- deffre, as he examined the secret dossier, with me, stop before he reached the end and tell me to go into the country. give an account of the affair to General Gonse and his advice.
 Before starting to see General Gonse I copied a note, four pages in length, which I made September 1. containing my resume of the Esterhazy affair.

 After my interview with General Gonse I did not work any longer on my own in- itiative. I said othing more until the res turn of General Gonse, September 15. Al that time Esterhazy was at the great maneuvers."
 Next witness dwelt on the rumors in September, in 1896, of the project of re. placing Dreyfus by man of straw and the discovery of the Weyler forged letter sup posed to be connected by the same process At about the same time the campaign for and against Dreyfus was started by tine newspapers. ,a

Music In the Siarras.

Travellers in the Sierra forests usu-
ally complain of their want of life, es-
pecially of birds. The trees" they
say, ARE fine, but the empty stiffness
is deadly; there are no animals to be
seen, no birds. We have not heard a
song in all the woods" And no won
der, going in large parties with mules
and horses, making so much noise,
dressed in outlandish, unnatural col
ors, every animal shuns them. Even
the frightened pines would run away
if they could But nature lovers, de-
vout, silent, opeD-eyed, alert, looking
and listening with love, sitting still
here and there for hours or days, as
their genius directs, find no lack of
inhabitants in these mountain man
sions, and they come to them gladly.
Not to mention the large animals or
the small insect people every waterfall
has it's ouzel, and every tree it's squir-
rel or tanlias, or bird-tiny nuthatch
threading the burrows of the bark,
cheerily whispering to itself as it deft-
iy prizes off loose scales and examines
the curled edges nf lichens, or Clarke
crow, or jay, examining the cones, or
some singer-orioIe, tanager, warbler,
resting, feeding, attending to domestic
affairs. Hawks and eagles sail over
head, and grouse walk in happy fiocks
below, and the sons sparrow sings in
every bed Of chaparral. There is no
crowding, to be sure. Unlike the low
Eastern trees, those of the Sierra in
the main forest belt average nearly
200 feet in height, and of course many
birds are required TO make much of
show in them, and many voices to fill
them. Nevertheless, the whole range
from foothills to snowy SUBMITS is
shaken into song every summer; and
though low and thin in winter, the
music never ceases.

Some persons are always 30 anxious

When ANYTHING has been thoroughly
tried and tested and found in every way
satisfactory, why do some people per-
sist in running after some new-tangled

the question not such serious one.
There can be no substitute for cod

Scotts Emulsion of Cod-liyer Oil with
the Hypophosphites has been used for
over twenty years, and when thou

properties, is it not strange that any
one would think of trying an expert

cod-liver oil? When you know you are
safe in taking SCOTS Emulsion, Is 1t
not too risky business to try something
new? Do you think SCOTS Emulsion
could have stood these twenty years,
and have larger sale to-day than ever
before, unless it had true, genuine merit.
Where do you suppose these substi-
tutes, which do not contain D. particle

And where will all the fancy prepare
