PARIS, Sept. o0.-Captain Alfred
Dreyfus, convicted by court-martisl,
on the charge of treason with extern
uating circumstances, has been par
doned in principle. The pardon will
take effect in few days. Drevfus is
at liberty to pursue, as free man,
the vindication of his honor, which
no pardon can give. The court OF
cessation is open TO him for quashing
the Rennes verdict as soon us the nee
essary facts for demonstrating his in
noccnce have been collected. The
prisoner himself is unable as yet to
declare his intentions in this respect,
but his family and friends, in an.
nouncing the withdrawal of the ap-
peal to the military court of revision,
at the request of the government,
affirm their purpose never to rest I'm.
til the rehabilitation of the injured
man is complete. The present solution
of the problem is, on the whole, the
best possible. 1t is necessitated by
the deplorable state of the prisoner S
health, which renders his survival OF
long term Of imprisonment during
Athe legal proceedings impossible.
%hereforc, Dreyfus will accept as
clemency what really belongs to him
as right.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

Every woman is good actress till
she goes on the stage.
There is one thing a woman never
can understand, and that is herself.
When the devil had his choice as to
instruments he first picked jealousy.
II they were named anything else a
woman would have just as queer look
in her face when she talked about her
legs.
II there weren't any bad men to be
horrible examples, probably there
wouldn't be any good women to be
shining examples.
Every racy story a man hears he
acts like it was old to him and every
woman like it was new to her, and
both are making believe.
When a man can make woman be-
lieve that he can't help thrilling at her
voice she feels she has to marry him
so that she can turn the current on
Whenever she feels like it.
The difference between a woman and
a cat is that when you tease the cat
you know she'll scratch you, but when
it's a woman you never know whether
she'll kiss you or tear your eyes out

ANTITRUST MEETING.
81. Louis Conference Addressed by Go

ernor Shaw and Others.
ST.. LOUIS, Sept. 21.-The antitrust
:orney General Crow. of Missouri, and
Governor Sayers, of Texas, was made
chairman. Gov. Stephens, of Missouri,
caused somewhat of II sensation among
the republicans present by denouncing
the national administration and it's
war policy. declaring that trusts and
Imperialism 60 hand in hand. At the
afternoon session Governor Thomas,
If Colorado, and Governor Shaw re.
lied to Governor Stephens, both dis
eeing with the latter Governor
Thomas argued that concurrent action
between the states and the national
government was necessary to control
the operations of the so.called trusts.
He concluded his remarks with a Wig
orous attack upon the Standard Oil Co.
Governor Shaw. of Iowa, then took
the floor and what seemed to many
fncetitiously derided the remarks ST
Governor Stephens at the morni6g
session. He made motion that TIP
governors of Missouri, Tennessee and
Texas be appointed to draft and form
ulate a bill such as, in their opinion,
may be safely and advautageously
passed by the legislatures of the sew
eral states, and which will, in their
opinion, as far as possible, remedy
the evil so universally acknowledged.
The motion was tabled. Governor
Jones, of Arkansas, in vigorous terms
scored Governor Shaw for his face
tiousness, saying this was no time and
place for remarks not tending to a
furtherance of the business efore the
conference. In his opinion the trusts
should be annihilated. In the even
ing Governor Pingree, of Michigan,
delivered an address which was close
]y listened to and frequently
applauded.

citing joint debate booked for the
evening session between William il
Bryan and Bourke Cochran, on trusts,
did not take place. Central Music
hall was packed with an eager audi
ence, but the people present had to
content themselves without the ora
tory of the famous Nebraskan, who,
however, occupied a seat on the plat
form. Mr.. Bryan said there had been
a misunderstanding, and that he wish
ed to avoid even the appearance OF
public debate with Mr.. Cochran. lie
therefore declined to address the con-
ference at that session, but will speak
to-day. Cochran made an eloquent
speech, in which lie defended aggre-
cation of capital. He was proceeded
by William Dudley Foulse, of Indiana,
and Edward Rosewater, of the Omaha
Bee.
CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-William J. Bryan
discussed trusts before the big confer
ence in session here yesterday. He
pursued much the same line of argu.
mcnt he has been accustomed to use
in dealing with the same subject.
Later in the session Mr. Bryan took
exception to some statements in the
address of Mr.. Foullxc, Of Indiana, and
made another speech OF considerable
! length in reply. Bourkc Cochran en-
aorsed much that Mr.. Bryan had said.
and was led to make quite extended
remarks, in the course Of which he
| emphasized his position in favor Of
labor unions. Following Mr.. Bryan
James II. Raymond, of Chicago, spoke
on "Patents and Monopolies;" G. W.
Northrup, Jr., of Chicago, spoke on
"Practical Federal Remedies for In
lustrial Trusts and 4. H. Walker, of
Minneapolis. spoke on TRUSTS From
a Business Mans Standpoint" In the
afternoon addresses were made by
Attorney General Smith, of Texas,
and ]. B. Dill, of New Jersey. The
committee on resolutions reported in
favor of passing no resolutions giving
the sentiment of the conference on
the trust problem. and the report was
unanimously adopted. After the adj
journment many of the antitrust del
egates met in the Sherman house to
formulate resolutions expressive OF
their views. The meeting was large

Seven Killed at Cnrtervilie, Illinois, by
Striking White Coal Digeers.
CARrERvILLE. Ill.,, Sept. 10.-Scven
non-union negro miners were killed
here Sunday afternoon in a fight with
white miners. The story of this out
break runs much like, its predecessors.
The state troops which held murderin
check had been withdrawn. A party
of non.union negro miners ventured
unguarded into the streets There
were hot words, threats, blows and
pistol shot: then running fight.
The death roll follows: John Black.
Henry Brandon, "Preacher'' Brown
ing, Sam Cummings, J. G. Floyd,
James Hayes, unknown man. Half a
dozen or more are reported wounded.
They are in the camp of their fellow
worlzmen, now frenzied and under
arms, and their names cannot be
learned. Rumors says several wounded
white men were carried off by their
friends, but there is no definite
knowledge of injury to any of the
attacking party. -Four Of the seven
killed died where they fought and
fell. Cummings, shot through the
head, fingered few hours. Two
others, shot on the run, escaped to
cover near the mines where they
worked, but only to die. The fight,
as soon as news of it travelled to the
mine encampmcnts, made the whole
body Of non-union miners mad with
thirst for blood. Mine superintend-
'ents had much to do to restrain them
from breaking loose into the town
and precipitating a general engage
ment. White men, with appetitcs
whetted, paraded the streets all the
afternoon, eager for another chance
to shoot down the negroes Arrival
of a company of militia from Carbon
dale brought feeling of security,
although prospect of more trouble has
not disappeared. These Carbonate
militamen have been here before and
are we'll hated.
