PARIS. May 3l-M Manau, tho Procureur-
General of the Court Of Cessation in his speech
before the court in the Palace OF Justice to day
said that the guilt Of Esterhazv had been cs-
tablished by the Figaro. lie declared that
when it should he decided to revise the Drey-
fus trial Picquarts detention in prison would
weigh heavily upon the national conscience.
There was much animation in and about the
Palace of Justice. but there was no disorder
There were many signs OF waning interest in
tho case
NJ. Manau entered into u long discussion Of
the bordereau. Happily. he said. Dreyfus
would receive justice. The Henry forgery
and tho contradictions OF the hand
writing experts had led to the di-rov-
cry that Esterhazys letters were written
on the same paper as that OF the bordereau
He desired. he said. to formally ubsolve NJ
Mornard. the counsel Of Nine. Dreyfus. of
having aimed at the integrity Of wcll-known
brethren OF the bar. but Esterhazy. having
been acquitted Of writing the bordercau. can
not be prosecuted again were he a hundred
times guilty.
AS to the innocence OF Dreyfus." he said, e
do not ask you to proclaim II. That is for the
new court martial, II is for YOU. gentlemen,
to say whether there are sufficient elements to
prove that the judgment Of the court martial
OF 1904 was tainted with suspicion in its pro-
ceedng.'
NJ. CassaGnac. in tho AutorHd. says it was
natural that NJ. Ballot Beaupre should decide
in favor OF revision OF the Dreyfus case. but he
exceeded his authority in affirming that the
bordoreau was written by Esterhazy
In the Hobbies tho chief topic OF CONVEX sation
was the effect that the declarations OF NM
Ballot Beaupr6 and Manau will have on the
courts verdict and the position OF tho
prisoner. 1t was regarded that the court must
order revision because new facts had been
discovered by NJ. Ballot Beaupre Apart from
this. tit Ia believed that the eminent jurists
constituting tho Court OF Cessation would not
admit revision being guided solely by the let
ter Of the law and ignoring sentiment.
As regards the position Of the pris-
| oner. It was taken for granted that
the precedent established in cases where
al error Of judgment was discovered would be
followed in his case, namely. reinstatement.

Some very circumstantial reports are ahoat

ANOTHER SMALLPOX CASE.

Street This Morning.

street Ih1s MORNING.
The Health Office inspectors discovered
another case of smallpox at an early hour
this morning at 917 Golden Street south
west. The patient is Julia Briscoe. The
woman was Immediately removed to the
contagious disease hospital and her house
was placed under rigid quarantine. The
five persons who live there were removed
to the detention camp this afternoon.
This is the second case that has been
reported within the last twenty-four hours
The first was that of Fred Young, also
colored, who lived at 10 Shepherds Court
This case was in very advanced stage,
and when the man was removed to the
hospital his skin was peeling, which shows
that the disease had run its course. He is
said to have been ill about three weeks be-
fore the Health Office was notified and has
been constantly attended by his wife.
Both OF these cases were reported to the
Health Office by members of the police
force. An officer of the Second precinct
was notified of Young's suspicious lness
yesterday afternoon. He did not investi-
gate the case, but as soon as possible re-
ported it to the proper officials, and an in
spector was sent to the place to make
diagnosis. The inspector reported that the
disease appeared to be very well developed,
but he preferred having the opinion of the
smallpox expert on the subject before
sending the man to the hospital The ex-
pert was accordingly sent to the place and
the result was that immediate orders were
issued to the ambulance corps to move the
man at once.
The smallpox guards were hurriedly
summoned to the place by telephone and
strict quarantine established. Six fami-

Few Days Brew
of Deadly
Uric Acid.

In few days you brew enough uric
acid in your own body TO produce death.
Your kidneys are your only salvation.
Because when they are we'll, they filter
out this deadly poison.
So, when your kidneys are sick, you can
understand how quickly your entire body
is affected, and how every organ seems to
fail 10 DO its duty.
They are all being slowly poisoned.
Uric acid poison irritates the nerves, and
causes rheumatic pains in joints, muscles,
and limbs, headache, backache, stomach
and liver trouble, shortness of breath, heart
trouble, dizziness. nervousness, irritability,
lassitude, loss OF ambition, weakness and
wasting away.
Red brickdust and similar sediments in
the urine are also caused by various salts
of uric acid.
The cure for these troubles is Dr. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney
remedy.
1t instantly relieves the cong.sted, over
worked kidneys, and gradually brings them
back TO health.
Healthy kidneys keep down the excess Of
uric acid. and you soon feel the benefit in
new health and strength.
Swamp-RCot should at once be taken
upon the least sign of ill-health. 1t will
make you well. and is for sale the world
over in bottles Of two sizes and two prices,
fifty cents and one dollar.
Swamp-root is used in the leading hos
pitals; recommended by skillful physicians
in their private practice. and is taken by
doctors themselves who have kidney all
msnts, because they recognize in it the
greatest and most successful remedy for
kidney and bladder troubles.
To prove its wonderful efficacy, send your
name and address to DIR. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, n. Y. mentioning this paper.
when you will receive, free of all charge,

Good Thanksgiving Dinners.
The Central Union Mission did much to-
day to make happy many homes in this
city, and also many persons who have no

wagons busy delivering five hundred bas-
kets TO as many homes. These baskets
each contained turkey ranging in weight
from six to twelve pounds and selectei ac-
cording to the number of persons in
family Beside the palatable turkey each
basket contained half peck of pota-
toes, quarter of peck OF onions, quar-
ter of a pound of tea. a half POUND of
coffee two loaves of bread, two pounds OF
sugar, one-half pound of butter, one
pound OF rice or hominy, one quart of
beans. some apples, and some ce-e-y. The
mission estimates that the five hundred
baskets will supply dinners to not less
than 5000 persons, who might otherwise
be either hungry or at the best poo.ly fed.
In addition TO this noble work of charity
the Central Union Mission provided dinners
for SEQ persons at the Mission house, and to
this dinner the employees and the inmates
were all invited. The einner was served
