A Dictionary Dilemma.

A good story is told with reference to
the publication of certain Biblical die
tionary. The editor is said to have given
the article on the deluge to what he con-
sidered a safe hand, but when the arti-
Gle was sent in it was found to contain
views which would certainly have
shocked orthodox readers. It had in it
too much science and too little the
ology.
What could be done? The volume had
to be published forthwith. In this di-
lemma he put in his dictionary, ''Del-
uge-See Flood"
This, at any rate, postponed the diff
Guilty, and the article on the food was
given out to a writer who, it was
thought, could be trusted better
But when the second article came in
it was found to be worse than the first,
and another postponement was neces-
sary.
The new volume contained another
reference, "Flood-See Noah," the be-
wildered editor trusting by the time
Noah was reached he would succeed in
finding a man who would be able to
mingle science and orthodoxy in due
degrees.

A Memory of BOyhOOd.

The boy is there. a barefooted free
kled, backwoods lad, whose age might
be anywhere from to 10, fishing pole
in hand. There are bramble scratches
on his bare brown legs, like the marks
of wildcats claws, while patches of
sunburn show rosy red through the
opening of his cotton shirt. A single
suspender and brim torn straw hat
complete the tout ensemble, if we may
except yellow. switch tailed cur, with
one ear slit and sinister cast in an
eye, sitting close at the fisher lad back.
But sunburn. scratches and tatters.
even the dog, are all forgotten as the
boy watches breathlessly the wabbling
cork that buoys his fishing line. A
kingfsher utters its harsh rasping pro-
test against this invasion Of it's vested
rights; a squirrel chatters Historically
just out of reach of the owner of the
switch tail who dares not resent the
intrusion. Outing.

DREYFUs TO HAVE A CHANCE.
Court of Cessation Hearing the Debate
Over Revision.

Paris, May 30.-Al Of yesterday the
full court of cessation listened to M.
Ballot de Beaupre read the report of the
civil section of the court on the ques-
ton of a revision of the trial of Captain
Dreyfus. The report was distinctly in
favor of a new trial and declared that
the material evidence of the bordereau
and the moral evidence cropping out
during the inquiry pointed not to Drey-
fus but to Esterhazy as the culprit.
There does not seem to be any doubt
that Dreyfus will get a new trial.
In another hall of the same building
was progressing the trial of Deroulede
and Marcel-Habert for attempting at
the time of the election of Loubet as
president of the republic, to raise rev.
olution. The whole day here was taken
up by rather bombastic and decidedly
egostical speeches by Deroulede and his
colleague and companion in trouble.

arbitration Canada interviewed with i'm
possible conditions has caused a sensa-

from Washington, were that Pyramid
harbor was in any case to go to<Canada,
together with strip of Lynn canal,
which would extend back to Canadian
territory.
This statement is explicitly denied in
official quarters. 1t is asserted that Can
ada, in suggesting as compromise por-
ton of Lynn canal, attached no condi-
TORS. 1t is further claimed that when
the official correspondence is published
it will show this to be the case, and that
it was the United States that attached
conditions as to exemption of territory
from arbitration
In the house Monday night Sir Wilfrid
Laurier. the premier, replying to aQues-
ton relative to the Alaskan boundary
question, said that Canadas position to-
day was exactly what it was when the
commission adjourned. He said that
Canada'S construction of the treaty of

ing. Representatives of the Grand
Army of the Republic called later for
the flowers and removed them to the
cemeteries to be placed upon the graves

children of each school. The veterans
words met patriotic response from the
schools.

Santiago de Cuba, May 31.-Decora-

notwithstan ding the fact that there are
few graves of American soldiers in this
part of Cuba. Joseph G.. Saunders ar

when some thirty Americans and six
British subjects, with many Cubans,
who were conveying assistance to the

schooner Virginius were captured by
the Spanish gunboat Tornado and soon
afterward shot by the Spanish.
The graves were located with consid-

near relative of a member of the I'M
fortunate crew. Flags fioated at half
mast, a salute was fired at noon, and
regimental band played a dirge. Mr..
Lloyd, deputy collector at Guantanamo,

Cubans were favorably impressed with
the idea of decorating the graves of
their own soldiers.
