According to the laws of good society
in China, young widows should not re-
marry. Widowhood Is therefore held
in the highest esteem, and the older the
widow grows the more agreeable her
position becomes. Should she reach so

peror, get sum OF money with which
to buy tablet, on which her virtues
are named. The tablet is placed over

Dreyfus Condemned !.

Again another great crime
against civil liberty has been COM
mitted by military body of men
"a so called court martial of the
Tenth Legion Army Corps of
France, and an innocent man,
Dreyfus, has heen condemned to
ten years imprisonment for an
others acts. This result was fore
seen from the first, as all thinking
men who lave kept up with the
proceedings have felt that the
court was organized to convict,
and that it was fight against the
jews more than against .Dreyfus.
Henry Luvot, says:
Remember, brothers of the
greet American republic, you
must not judge France on this
verdict-a large body of the
nation clamors for truth and
justice-and so long as q single
one of us shall have a hand to
write with and voice to cry
with, the infamy of these five men
will be proclaimed daily to the
civilized world. And they will
never find enough gags and
enough handcuffs to smother our
anger or coerce our revolt"
If France is able to keep the
peace under the trying ordeal
through which she is now pa-s-
ing it will be we'll, but with the
people but one judgment exists,
and that is, that greater work of
infamy never caused a blot upon
a court or darkened the pages of
history than that just closed in
France.
1t has at one fell blow, struck
down justice, smothered evidence,
ruled in prejudice that Dreyfus
might be condemned. It shielded
the guilty, set at defiance the com
mon rules Of jurisprudence, closed
the voice of the people, and with
a despotic will, and pretended
examination of the case. rendered
q judgment that was fixed before
the trial commenced, that sends a
broken-hearted man to prison, and
q loving wife to worse than
death.
Justice is sometimes slow but
sure, and if the members of that
Infamous court escapes the ven
gance of an offended French peo-
pie we are mistaken. France is
now resting upon a smolderine
volcano which if permitted to dis
charge it's lava may engulf all the
sunny plains Of that nation, and
upon its ruins may be built up q
new France that will know no
court martials as power, and no
corrupt judges who perjure them
selves to vindicate the pride of a
vain, proud, official class of mill.
tary officers.
This may prove the starting
point of revolution that may
shake the foundation Of the
French Republic, out of which
may come purer Democracy.
Liberty to Dreyfus and death 10
the corrupt jncges should be the
cry of France.

HIGH SCHOOLS. TEAM WINS

The ST. Louis base ball situa ton lis as
unsettled as ever, and postponements will
probably continue until 1t is too late to
make arrangements for a new club in that
city the coming year. AdviceS from the
mound city are that another postponement
was taken yesterday for week it being
expected that in the meantime deposition
from President Young could be obtained.
Should the settlement of the case depend
upon the statement from the leagues pres
ident 1t can be said that 1t win be in the
very dim, future before the end is written
President Young desires above all things
to. keep out of the case. President Won der
Abe has been and is still a close friend of
Uncle Nick and the relations between
John I. Brush and the other contestants
for the st. Louis franchise with the presi-
dent of the league are of the most cordial
character. For this reason President
Young desires to keep out of the contro-
versy entirely, and as there does not appear
to be any statute that can compel HIM to
break his resolution. the chances are that
the case will have to go on without MIN or
his deposition.
President Young takes exception to the
recent published statement intimating that
he escaped from contempt of court only on
a technicality.
Il have too much respect for the judiciary
to even take long chance toward placing
myself in contempt.
THE attorney representing Mr.. Won der
Abe came to Washington, and, believing
that he could eas,ry obtain the deposition
from me, went into court, and by in
timating that the leagues president would
testify if legally summoned the necessary
papers were issued. l knew that l could
not be dragged into the case if / wished
otherwise but with my attorney answered
the summons and found that the ST. Louis
lawyer had left for home, doubtless COM
pretending the hopelessness of his visit,
and all legal proceedings were dropped
During his stay in Washington the St.
Louis lawyer minated in an interview that
the league magnates were trying to
freeze Mr. Won der Abe out of the big
organization and that they Were not par
ticular as to what methods they adopted
as long the end desired was accom-
pshed
Mr.. Young emphatically stated to rep
resentative of The Star today that the
legal fight in st. Louis is between two fac
tions in that city: considerable money is in
volved, and no matter which party receives
the sanction of the courts of Missouri the
ased recognition. The only desire of the
National League, as whole is that first
class club be placed in the mound city the
coming season. II Mr.. Won der Abe cannot
do this it is the intention of several of the
western magnates to lend helping hand
to some one else From the present aspact
of affairs it looks as though the only Way
out of the trouble would be for the parties
in opposition to MIR. Won der Abe to buy out
his interests or allow him a certain share
IN the new organization.

CHESS NOTATION.
PLAYER Who FavOrs the German
Method,

The following letter from S. W. Shaw OF
the Midnapore Chess Club, Alberta, Cana
da, commencing suggestions regarding
chess notation appearing in The Star No
vember II last, has been received:
81 was very pleased to see your remarks
in favor of using the German notation, but
think 1t would be more advantageous to use
that system in as near its entirety as posi-
BILE. The compromise suggested, Pei,
would lose one of its distinctive advantages,
for. when e2-e4, or Sc5-d3 is mentioned,
one knows at once where the piece is with
out looking all around the board, as at
present. Further when the square from
which taken is named, a game CAM with
equal ease be worked backward. The ini-
tial letters is a minor question, but there
is little doubt that K, D, T, l., S are less
liable to be misread than X, Q, r, b, KIT.
1.-The German system might be slightly
improved on by putting the initial letter of
the piece taken for instance. for a pawn on
QKt2 to take a knight on Obs it is simply
marked b2-c3; whereas, b2-c3, S, would be
