TRICKED BY HIS MEMORY.
A Cleveland Mans Invitation to His
Wife By Telephone.
(Cleyeland Plain Dealer.

tCleNelanQ gldln DealeT.J
There is a certain Cleveland man who
fondly imagines he has an excellent mem
DRY. He never carries letters around in
his pockets, and he is pretty good at leav-
ing. orders at the grocer's. Occasionally
he gets his wife to ask him concerning
tine events of the day, and he makes a
good record when catechised Some
body told him that was the way Thurlow
Weed improved a bad memory, and he
finds it an excellent exercise. Not long
ago he had telephone put into his house
and frequently uses it. Another strong
point with him is his alleged memory for
telephone numbers. He has repeated them
over so many times that the numbers
which he is likely to use he can spin off
in lively style. But his oVerWeening con-
fidence in his ability in this direction
brought him to grief.
He was in his office a few days ago and
wanted to call up a particular friend. He
knows that his friend always answers his
phone in person. and when he had rung
talk as soon as he was sure somebody was
at the other end.
Hello, George" he said. How are

He paused for an answer and his
breath.
Before he could catch the latter he
gasped again. A shrill feminine voice rang
in his ear.

With a spasmodic gesture the man with
a memory rang off.

He rubbed his head distractedly. What
did it mean? Then he understood it all.
He had in a moment of criminal forgetful-
ness Iung UP his own phone instead of

His marvellous memory had played him

should be fined or imprisoned for yio-
latien of the city laws.
The monkey was sent to the COM
mission merchant from New Orleans
three years ago by one of his agents,
who was engaged in buying bananas
in that city for the Chicago trade.
Bingie, as the monkey is called, is a
great pet in the family and has al

Bingie has a bad habit of fooling with

chant took him to his home.
1t was probably Bingie's mimetic
instinct that led him at times to climb
up curtain or door to turn out the
gas. Often Bingie has been known to
enter the bedroom where his master
was preparing for bed and suddenly
douse the glim, leaving the surprised
man in total darkness.

caught him just as he was about to

ity had already been eXtinguished.
Bingie was arrested and taken to the
police station, where he was locked in
a cell until the following morning. He
was returned to his master only under
the condition that he be kept off the
street at night.

fact that one or two eastern newspapers
were much put out because he was not

more readily reach him.

to Lead to a General In

MILWAUKEE. WIS, Aug. 1s.-The In
quiry into the killing of Captain Pollock at
the Soldiers home promises to develop into
a general inquiry as to the treatment of
the inmates of the home by the officers in
charge, before the examination and trial
of Anderson is announced. The examina-
ton was formally begun before Commits
sioner Bloodgood to-day. 1t was said dur
ing the examination that system OF fines
exists at the home, where, If the fines are
paid in place of being worked out, they
are received without a voucher or receipt
being given.
QuarIermaster Rowley In his testimony
said the governor imposed the fines upon
the captain of a company reporting a man
for discipline. Some fines were worked out
while others were paid. Fines were paid
to the lieutenant or the guard, and he was
supposed to turn them over to the governor.
The question whether the governor of a
national soldiers home has the right to
impose fines will be decided SO far as the

AS MAX NORDAU SEES 1T.
Says Prejudice and Not Proof Is Like
ly to Decide the Dreyfus

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-A dispatch to the
World from Rennes contains the following
analysis of the Dreyfus court-martial by
Max Nordau:
This is a war of savages and not an
inquiry of cool research for the truth which
is now going on in Rennes.
II find that even American and English
newspaper men delegated here to give ac-
counts of the proceedings are gradually In
fected with a spirit of partisanship.
Some of the correspondence l am al
lowed to read before it is sent. 1t does
not give real idea of the strength of the
dency of the writers to belittle certain ar
guments or facts brought against Dreyfus.
II have been observing. from the begin
ming the attitude of the judges and public
and also have been gathering opinions of
the best qualified men of both parties.
You may believe me. acQuittal is far
monty thought In the United States judg-
ing from the tone of the editorials in the
American newspapers we get here.
You must understand that everybody's S
mind in France is fully made up-the opin-
ion is hard set and impermeable to any ar
gument whatsoever.
IF Roget speaks. whatever may be the
strength of what he says. the Dreyfusards
exclaim He dies, the scoundrel,' while the
anu-Dreyfusards. see proof of the accused s
guilt in every charge he makes. however
Likewise, when Bertullus argues that
Dreyfus cannot be guilty, all of his won
derfully logical deduction is absolutely
without effect as to changing anyone's con-
viction. One side cries how admirable
the other, What rot. what deceitr and
neither one side nor the other takes pains
to listen and think.
"If the judges are of the same cast of
mind as 1 have observed generally in the
unconsciously, what his vote will be, and
the verdict is already settled.
Now, if We may infer anything from
the spirit exhibited by the combative char
acter of the questions asked the witnesses
by the judges, it is to be feared that the
result of the new trial will not be what
