 "If Dreyfus is declared innocent there will be a revolution in France" This is quoted on the best authority. Said this same person, journalists, statcmen and people of position unite in agreeing that there will be no middle course to be taken if Dreyfus Is freed.
 "The city will suddenly divide itself sharply into Dreyfusites and anti-Dreyfus- ties; and both parties will have such strong opinions that nothing can turn them.
 "The Dreyfusites will declare for Loubet. They feel that he is man who will give every man fair play They will keep him in the Elysee palace and will ask him to select cabinet after his own kind.
 "The anti-Dreyfusites are the royelists, and these will turn toward the pretender.

 One of the features of this glorious day will be the escort of Dreyfus to his home A beautiful white horse will be led out and Dreyfus, in his uniform, will be seated up on the horse The animal will then be led along, while a tremendous crowd will sur round the hero on all sides.
 Suddenly there will be a burst of music. It will be the Marseillaise. As the notes die away the music will swell into the chords of Sant-Saens' wonderful opera, Samson and Deilah;'' and 10000 voices will take up the chorus which occurs in the opera as Samson appears followed by the bassos, all old Hebrew men, who sing a song of triumph, their splendid voices rolling on the air.

A very pretty incident occurred on the steamship on which The Age-Herald cor respondent, Miss c. l.. Goodwin, took pas sage for Europe in June.
 Before leaving New York Miss Goodwin was presented with a wicker basket in which was a carrier pigeon which makes it's home in that city. The pigeon, which is a bird of four years of age. was formerly named Kipling, but a year ago was re- christened to Dewey"
 When a few miles out beyond Sandy Hook Miss Goodwin wrote little note and, tying it to Dewey's wing, released him from the basket with his face toward home.
 The bird rose high in the air circled around two or three time, then. with out stretched wings, flew toward home. It made the return trip in, nearly as we can estimate, half an hour, over distance of about thirty miles. Dewey has much better record than this, but being q wise pigeon he knows when to take his time.
 The last time Dewey was released he was liberated from a steeple in Harlem, dis tance of perhaps eight miles from our New

for Paris society consists of the aristocrats, those who have been left over from royal ty, and who either claim a relationship with the now defunct throne; or with the nobles who were part of the court of Na- poleon and Eugenie.
 Yet there are a great many who are in sympathy with Dreyfus, and these include z many people of wealth who are not of the religion of Dreyfus nor of the army. They are French citizens who desire to see fair play, and who are willing to have DreyfuS tried in open court.
 Perhaps if the city were exactly divided, it would be found that the people are half for Dreyfus, and half against him. But, as a whole the half that in favor of the Jew are of the poorer people, or of those who are not prominent either in society or the city government.
 With the aristocrats and those of influ- cnce against him the cause of Dreyfus is not a popular one. It is a cause which IS widespread beneath the surface. not one which is proclaimed from the street stump nor in public, but a cause which has It's

She could only sit and brood and think,
and then, as the long, long day-the
second day-drew to it's close, pray
heaven for Randy's coming. There,
more surely than anywhere else, if he
loved her, his love would lead him.
What days of jubilee there were at
Sedgwick when at last Randy was con-
valescent enough to be moved, and the
ambulance brought him back through
the same old hole in the fence, Flor
ence seated by his side. Another pa
tient was out on piazza farther down
the row, taking the sweet fresh air and
listening languidly to the purring of
Minturn, who still worshiped at the
shrine deserted by Whitaker. Unde-
niably sallow looked the Widow Nc
Lane, and her eyes gazed but languidly
at the joyous little cortege entering the
westward end of the road. Capt and
Mrs. Grafton, the Haynes, and other,
sympathizing friends had flocked
thither to welcome the fugitives, and
so it happened that there was no one
at home but Mrs. McLane and much
perturbed young battery officer to
greet two somewhat dusty civilians,
who had just driven out from the juno
tion, and now slowly ascended the
Grafton's steps. One - Mr.. Parry
came jauntily forward. The other--a
mutton-chop whiskered, plethoric-
looking party-hung reverentialiy
back, as though waiting permission to
venture into the presence of queen.
With swift, anxious, imploring glance
the invalid searched the impassive fea-
lures of her exasperating brother-in-
law and read no hope; but even from
the depth of her dcspond sprang some
thing of her old-time coquetry as she
lenguidly lay back in the easy-chair
and extended slender, bejeweled hand
to the adoring Swinburne. The bat
teryman bowed stif1y and pulled at his
mustache in recognition of this new ar
rival, and Ned Parry almost audibly
chuckled his enjoyment of the situa-
ton. Then stable call sounded and
drew the warrior away and left the
field in the hands of the civilian, and
then Parry decided he must "join the

emily he was patting Randy on the back
and showing symptoms of a desire to
kiss Mrs. Randy's hand, as he did Mrs,

THE END.
MONACO AND MoNTo CARLO.
How the Gaming Capital of the World
Begnn-WOrkings OF the
Institution.

Monaco is the name Of the kingdom
as well as of the capital and chief
town, and Monte Carlo is separate
town, lying also on the coast of the
Mediterranean. The two places were
originally about mile apart, but the
single street along the shore which
connects them has been so built up that
now they are practically one, and it is
hard to tell when you are in Monte
Carlo and when you cross the line into
Monaco. Monaco is the old town, with
dwellings and shops and castles and
dirt and a market place like any other
small European city, but Monte Carlo
is new, and lives entirely upon the
Casino. There are few dwelling houses
in it, few shops, few permanent resi-
dents beyond the hotel people and Ca
sino employees, and even the Casino men
live mostly in Monaco, where rents are
cheaper. Monte Carlo consists chiefly
of the Casino and it's appurtenances, a
group of hotels, railway station and
very handsome arched stone. railway
bridge.
Here are the Maritime Alps, rising al
most out of the back yards Of both
places, the sea in front, no bits of arabic
land bigger than flower beds, no man
ufactures, no chance for any industries
beyond fishing and retailing groceries,
if you take away the gaming tables.
1t was a strong temptation, no doubt,
to their little majesties of Monaco to GO
in for anything that promised to bring
money into the country. And the win
ter climate was the best in Europe,
and therefore suitable for great win
Iter resort. Let us give the devil his
due, and say that the prince was not
without reasons for making himself
the chief gambling pimp of the world,
The gambling industry was begun here
in 1856, but only in a small way. Then,
four years later, person named Blanc,
who had been expelled from Hamburg,
came here and developed it. At pres
ent the gaming tables support every
thing, The Casino company pays the
prince $250,OOO a year, for the conces-
sion, though that is only small part
of what they really pay, as l shall show
in a moment. This is stock company
of the ordinary kind, like any mining
or insurance company, with shares
that can be bought in the market and
that pay such handsome dividends that
they command always high premium.
So, if you are millionaire, as l hope
you are, and would like to be in posi-
ton to dictate to real prince, you
need only come over to Monaco and buy
enough shares in this company. They
are $1OO shares, and sell at present at
about $500, believe.-William Drys-
dale, in N. Y. Times.
