 THE LATE JOHN BEATTIE's WILL Guilford, Dec. 12.-The will of the late John Beattie of Leete's Island was admitted to probate by Judge Chitten- den in the probate court this morning. 1 Messrs. Harrison & Zacher represented the executors and Messrs. filling, Webb & Morehouse appeared for Mrs. Emma Sullivan of Newport, R. l., daughter of divorced wife of Mr. Beattie. In approving the will the following wit nesses were examined: William Elem ing, Thomas Fleming and Thomas Han- nigan, all of Leete's Island while Rich ard Cruse and Mary Collins of Leete's Island and MT. Northrop of Stony Creek testified to the authenticity of the codicil.
 Attorney James H. Webb for Mrs. Sullivan contested the probating of the will on the ground that the usual for malities were not carried out by the testator inasmuch as the attestation clause declaring it to be his last will and testament was not seen by the witnesses, and also that the testator SiSueu HIS UdIue dlleF lllG WIlHCsSCS had appended theirs instead of before. Judge Harrison claimed that no spe- cial order in the signature of names was necessary, and quoted Judge Townsend in a paralleled case to sustain his claim. After bearing the testimony and the arguments, Judge Chittenden admitted the will to probate.
 The executors of the will are John Beattie jr., and Peter Beattie, and the will is drawn so that the business of the testator shall be conducted by his sons, John Beattie, jr., of Fall Rver, Mass. and Frank, David, Peter and Thomas Beattie of Leete's Island.

CANNIBAL IN THE INK
He Was from the South Sea Islands
and There Was Character
i'm His Writing.

Rather an amusing incident was con-
nected with the return to San Francisco, en-
route to Washington, of Justice w. L.
Chambers. who has been for number of
years chief justice of Samoa. The judge is a
well-educated and highly cultivated Ala
baman, with that polish Of that rara avis,
the Southern gentleman of the best type.
In an interview, published at Honolulu on
his way up, the chief justice was SO serious
ly misrepresented in his alleged statements
regarding Samoan matters that he took the
wise precaution in San Francisco of writ
ing out his views on the more ticklish mat
ters concerning which he was interviewed.
Like most gentlemen, Judge Chambers PEN
manship would never be taken as a model in
a district school. A printer on a morning
paper. to whom it was given to set up was in
despair.
:, Look here he said, ''this is positively
the worst writing ever was up against!"
"But that was written by the. chief jus.
tice of Samoa, man. Look how much char.
acter there is in the writing"
"Chief justice of SamoaH' snorted the
compositor. THAT accounts for it. There is
character in his hand. might have known

Ready for Battle Again.

These who claim that the battle for
free coinage of silver has been fought
and lost, and that it will never be the
leading issue again, do not realize what
must yet be done, and how slowly in
accomplishment in order to establish
the gold standard. The next step to be
taken by the gold standard powers will
be to treat all silver and silver eertifi-
Gates as credit money, redeemable in
sold. The secretary of the treasury has
already announced that he will direct
ly redeem the silver in gold when, in
his judgment, there is any necessity for
SO doing. After that policy is firmly
established the gold standard nations
wiz attempt to absolutely destroy all
silver as money. They viii claim with
irresistible logic that if silver money
is redeemable in gold it is nothing
more than a promise to pay gold: that
a promise to pay can be printed on
paper a. small fraction of the eX-
pense required to buy silver bullion
and coin it into money. The gold ad
vocates of this country will claim that
it is foolish for the United states to
have nearly $5oo,oo0,OoO invested in
silver coins when they are merely
promises to pay gold.-Illinois State

OUR FOREIGN GOLD DEBT.
The Difficulty About Paying Out Goia
ON Our Present Gold stand
ard Basis.

We often hear it said by way of OBJ
lection to free coinage that if gold
should go to a premium, and retire
from circulation, while we could use
silver or paper for local trade, our for
eign creditors would take nothing but
gold, and we would have no gold to
give them The answer to that objec-
ton is very simple. Even if gold
should go to a premium and retire
from circulation it does not follow
that we could not get gold. Any ma
tion can get gold if it has anything
to buy it with. Russia has been
silver standard country nominally, but
with a paper currency. Nevertheless
in her war chest something like $780,
900, 1000 in gold. India is a silver
using country and she is supposed to
have from $6Oo,O00,OO0 to $1,O0o,0O0,-
900 in gold boarded away. So with
other silver countries. If we were
on a silver basis tomorrow it would
not make our command over gold any
the less, but on the contrary greater.
In the first place every dollar that
was expelled from the United States
would add just so much to the stock
of Europe, where our surplus commod-
tiles must be largely sold. This
would raise prices there, and give us
more gold for our wheat, cotton, petro-
leum and breadstuffs. Our mines
would go on producing gold just the
same, and if we were to stop using
that metal for money at home, every
ounce that we could get from any
source would be available for the I,ay-
ment OF our foreign debt. Under ex-
isting conditions we have to pro-
vide gold both for home use and to
satisfy the foreign demand as well.
When the foreign demand becomes
unusually strong and a heavy export
of gold follows, the cry of danger
is raised, and the whole country is
nearly or quite thrown into a panic.
That is because we are attempting to
maintain a gold standard with an in
sufficient supply of gold. If we were
upon a silver basis or a paper basis
either, it would make no difference
to us whether there was much gold
or little gold in New York.-i.lix ois

WITH DEEPEs'r INDIGNATION.
The RevisiOnist Press of Paris De-
nOunce the Verdict-An Ex-
piatory Monument.

Paris, Sept. 1.-THE revisionist press
comments upon the verdict with deep
est Indignation, declaring that the bat
tie between the civil and military will
continue until the victory rests with
the court of cessation.
The Steele has opened a subscription
to erect an eXpiatory monument in
front of the Palace of Justice at Rennes
to remind future generations of this
outrage on justice.
The Temps, referring to the rumor
that the court-martial signed recon-
mendation to mercy, but only as re-
CARDS degradation from military rank,
says the mere mention of extenuating
circumstances proves that the judges
had doubt of which the accused should
have received the benefit, and it urges
the revisionists to remember that, in
order to demand justice from the coun.
try, it is necessary first of all to act
with calmness.
The Gaulois says: :.

will spring from the Dreyfus case"

Rennes, Sept. 1O.--The appearance of

minds of anyone that the final crisis
of the great trial had Heen reached.
Instead of scattered geTGarmes guard
ing the vicinity of th,' prison and the
Lycee. the whole town briStled with
soldiers, all the streets near the court
were guarded at intervals by double
lines of infantry. two companies of in
fantry sat on the church steps adjoin
ing the Lycee. with their arms stacked
in front of them. while the courtyard
of the prison and at v"rious other
points cavalry could be seen in readi-
ness.
Everyone entering the court was
subjected to the closest SCRUTINY. Even
the women who attended the session
were deprived of their small sun
shades before being permitted to pass.
\ larger crowd than usual witnessed
the passage of Dreyfus from the pris-
on to the Lycee, but tie crowds were
nowhere large, and aside from the
presence of the military. the town was
as tranquil as usual.

burst of applause, which was immedi-

Col. Jouaust, president of the
court, asked Dreyfus ii he had any
thing to add in his behalf. The pris-
oner, in a voice choked with emotion,
declared he had only one thing to say,
but of that he was perfectly assured.
He said: Il affirm, before my country,
and before the army, flat l am inno-
