French system of Trial Bnrlesque,

The secrecy of the original Dreyfus
trial was bad, and the semi-secrecy OF
the Esterhazy trial was worse. The
public was permitted to know only OF
the evidence that looked black fOl
Major Esterhazy,, but the evidence on
1.-THE strength Of which he was acquit-
ted and the guilt5of Dreyfus practically
reaftirmed, was keptsecret. It is clear,
however, that the case turns very
largely on a question of handwriting,
and the chances for deception in this
are notoriotsly great" 1t must be said
that some of the differences of the
French tribunal on this subject were
uncommonfy like the: reasoning in the
famous trial in 'tAlice in Wonderland -
1t will be remembered that there, too,
a letter, containing a set of verses, was
the chief thing -"
Are they in the prisoners handwrit-
ing?" asked another of the jurymen.
mo, they're not" said the White
Rabbit, and that's the queerest thing
about it" lThe jury al. looked puz-
zled) 'E":

all frightened up again.
Please your Majesty" said the
Knave, Il didn't write it, and they
can't prove I did; there's no name
signed at the end"
IF you didn't sign it" said the King
'tthat only makes the matter worse.
You must have meant some mischief,
or else you'd have signed your name,
like an honest man"
There was a general clapping of
hands at this; it was the first really
clever thing the King had said that
day.
THAT proves his guilt said the

The plans for the building have not been

In the recent war with Spain the North
and the South were blended as one in de-
fense Of our flag. our battleships and
cruisers are manned by sailors and
marines from both the North and the
South. and I do not think It wise that any
name should be selected for any of our
vessels which will revive the unpleasant
ness which grew out OF the civil war and
existed for so many years.
LET Gettysburg be honored and revered
as the site OF great battle wherein the
