Paris, Feb. 23.-The Soir announces
that NJ. Manau, the procurateur general.
will submit his report in the Dreyfus
affair next week. The report will ask
the court of cessation. it is said, to annul
the conviction, without ordering re-
trial. II this he correct it shows that
the evidence before the court not only
proves Dreyfus innocent. but that the
crime for which he was punished never
existed, as the French law allows the
court Of cessation to quash a sentence
without retrial only when there is proof
that the offensc alleged was never per-
ncfrated

The country Republican papers have
been some time echoing the story that in
the late election of Congressman the
country gave more than million Republi
can majority. Mark Hanna's statistical"
bureau at Washington had sent out the
story to show how the Gold cause is gain
ing. And now the Tribune almanac comes
and foots up the 1898 elections of Congress
men thus; Republican, $3.50 SIC; Demo
cratic, 5.208. 476-a majority of 1920,
and loss of four hundred thousand of the

by the Gold syndicate in the late elections,
and the advantages of en- Administration

The officials of the New England Thread
Company, q prosperous manufacturing
corporation in Rhode Island, have with
drawn from the Thread Trust. The
reasons assigned reflect credit on the
President and Treasurer of the company.
They say that their remaining in the trust
would result in the disiutegration of the
business of the ills, if not their actual
closing up. This would work untold hard
ship on the employees, many of whom
have been with the company for years. and
all of whom are faithful and loyal to its
interests. Here we have direct testimony
as to the effect of trusts upon labor. The
purpose of these illegal combinations is to
destroy competition, to limit production
and to establish prices. When mile or
factories combine, some of them are shut
down. The stockholders receive regular
dividends from the earnings of the trusts.
They perform no services and contribute
nothing to the pool But what becomes
of the operatives? They get no remunera-
ton. They are thrown upon the streets to
shift for themselves or to starve. That is
precisely what has.happened in many cases
during the past year. And yet there are
newspapers apologists for trusts, among
them being the Constitution Of this city.

WANAMAKERS.


when I was first married." said
a lady friend of the store, shop
ping was pretty serious work. Our
income was small; needs a-plenty.
But what of that The stores were
relentless. Some were notable for
high prices; others catered to 'popu-
ular trade. But one had to decide
for keeps. Stores didn't take goods
back; very seldom even allowed ex-
changes for other goods. If, in
poor light and u.der the gaze Of
salesperson that 'just looked through
one, a mistaken choice was made,
my poor little allowance shrunk by
that much if I gave the goods away,
or I had something that seemed to
last forever because l loathed its
sight.
"Wanamaker's came into exist
ence and with it a spirit of liberality
Ia seemingly whole-souled desire
to please. But it is useless to repeat
this part. Everybody knows that
what is bought in haste or in error
can be taken back, and shopping IS
really pleasure.
1t was a venture-this building a
business without pattern hewing
from untried possibilities. But it
proved to be
A LIKEABLE STORE.
It is not department store, of
hodge-podge counters filled with
goods bought at random, but it is a
store made up of stores-each quite
as complete in itself as is the indi-
vidual apple tree of the orchard.
Dress Goods store, now the most
comprehensive in the land, as well
as chief seller Of exclusive elegance.
Carpet store, far more complete
than any individual carpet store.
Shoe store, that turned thousands
of pairs of good solid shoes to the
governments use when even mana-
facturers halted.
And so on-the whole one sys-
TEN, one ownership, one vast help
full store.
Authors gain public-a clientele
not of owned adherents, but of sat-
ished readers.
The store has gained its public
not of blind dependents, but of
purse-string holders who have proved
it. Fine threads, spun by sympathy
and twisted by a real affection, draw
Our Public to us.
This Public grows in numbers-is
growing faster now than at any date
in the stores history. The REIN
forcements come from among our
own neighbors who have had this
fact forced home to them: That this
store is
DAILY OFFERING
GREATEST STOCKS
AND
CHARGING LEAST PRICES
FOR
GUARANTEED GOODS.
And the facts are logical. The
business is in excess of that done by
any other American retail store and
it is conducted in buildings which,
though we are sometimes ashamed
of their exterior looks, are almost
rent-free. Every nook is interesting
nowand almost every one is hold
ing stock at the top-notch Of reads

Whether Assemblyman Albeit had
the reception in mind when he offered
his resolution in the house the same
evening providing for the election Of
United States senators by the people is
not known. but at all events 1t was quite
a coincidence. The resolution declared
in favor Of an amendment of the United

reported last night. an attempt was made
to hold up the Duluth-Chicago train on

1t is now believed that the bandits eX-

tank, and the robbery would then follow,
but, being the fast limited, no stops are
made from Rice Lake to Chippewa Falls,
and the robbers, becoming enraged, COM

DRAMATIC.

The Boston Lyric Opera company closed
a highly successful engagement of two
weeks at the Metropolitan opera house
last night. The organization made a
decided hit and will be warmly welcomed
on future visits to this city. It is I'M
questionably one of the most satisfac-
tory summer opera companies that has
ever appeared in the Northwest and the
performances compared favorably with
many of the regular seasons operate
attractions. 1t is worthy of note that
the enterprise of the local management
in providing st. Paul with midsummer
attractions of such a high character as
the Boston Lyric Opera company and the
Neill Stock company is appreciated by
the patrons of the Metropolitan.
The Neill Stock company will play an
engagement in Winnipeg during the next
two weeks, returning to the Metropolitan
opera house, st. Paul, July "a. In con-
sequence of this the Metropolitan will be
closed for a fortnight The NeilI COM

half of the week of July "a, and Sol Smith

The correspondent found her looking

they should deprive me Of my liberty. It's
an outrage! While am no lawyer, 1 know
that this is not lawful. Why do I go to
funerals? Why do other people go to we'd
dings, to sociables or to church? It's a
consolation to me to pay my respects to
the dead. Preachers talk about the
brotherhood of man. That means the sis
terhood Of woman, too.
Years ago most of our funerals were
public. But now many are announced as
strictly private. l don't think this Is right.
1t shows a lack of feeling I'm a tender
hearted woman, and I don't like to see
1t. 1 consider 1t my duty to do what I
can to keep up and cherish custom. But
it's always SO. If you don't do like the
great majority you're called a crank.

worthy citizen. She must have spent 12,-
600 hours of her life, or one year and over
four months of her life at funerals. The
professions she had seen would, If
placed together, reach from Reading to
Chicago.
She always conducted herself with de-
corum, and was one Of the first to reach
the house of mourning. She lefsureIy ex-
amined the floral tributes, and some
times pressed a kiss on the forehead of
the dead. She preferred a seat near the
head of the casket When the services
opened she drew a handkerchief from
her pocket and by the time they were
half over she was convulsed with grief
When the singing and the remarks Of the
minister were over she had wiped away
her tears and her countenance assumed

The incident which cost her her liberty
