DREYFUS'S LAWYER SHOT.
COWARDLY ATTEMPT TO KILL.
He Was waylaid by Asssssins-Was ON
His Way to the Court-He May not Re-
cover Msitre Labori Was "a Bright
Man-Rumos of Robbery.

Rennes, Aug. 1.-two men ambushed
Maitre Labor, counsel for Dreyfus, and
one shot was fired, hitting Labor in the
back. M. Labor fell in the roadway.
Maitre Labor left his house alone for
the court at g o'clock this morning. His
residence is situated in the suburbs of the
town, about a quarter of an hours walk
from the Lycee, the route being along a
solitary road beside the river Valaine. He
had reached point half way on his jour
ney when two men who had evidently
been lying in wait for him rushed out OF
narrow lane and one of them fired sin
gle shot from a revolver. The murderers
were only couple of yards behind their
victim and their bullet struck Labor in
the back. The wounded man uttered an
agonized cry and fell fiat on his face. The
murderers Immediately fled through the
lane from which they had emerged and
both escaped.
Only two or three laborers going to
work witnessed the shooting of Labor.
The spot was well chosen as the murder
ers could not be seen by M. Labor until
they rushed upon him, the lane being hid
den by bushes. Moreover, they were al
forded an easy means of escape by pass
ing back through the lane which led to
the country.
An incredible side of the outrage is the
fact it is asserted, that several passers-by
saw Labor shot and passed on indiffer-
emily, neither offering to help the victim
nor to join in pursuit of the assassin.
Still more incredible is the fact that an
individual who went to the side of La
bori as he lay wounded on the ground ID
said to have searched the pockets of the
suffering man on pretext of ascertaining
his identity and to have stolen their con-
tents.

Indians fled, leaving 70 dead on the field.
General Torres was slightly wounded and
there were three killed and 10 wounded"

NEW CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
FIVE MORE NEW REGIMENTS.
To be Organized at Once-Presi So
Orders-He Asks For Oficers-Rscom-

Root Gets in a Rush.

New York, Aug. l6.-A special from
Washington says:
Orders are expected within a few days
directing the organization OF five new vol
unteer regiments for the Philippines.
While final decision on the matter OF
existing still more troops has not yet
been made, the fact that Secretary Root
is already considering the question OF Of
ficers for the regiments, indicates the
strong probability that they will be or
gained. The secretary is extremely anx-
ious to get good o. GERS and as he can
not examine each individuals record, he
has decided to place the responsibility on
the governors of the states.
Political influence and personal or social
pull will cut no figure in the distribution
of the commissions in these new regiments
Secretary Root made that point unmistak-
ably clear to Senator Clay of Georgia,
when the latter called at the war depart
ment to urge the appointment OF several
young Georgians, who are ambitious 10
enter the army as commissioned o1ncers'
eve have heretofore had so much
trouble over civilian appointments, SAID
Secretary Root, chat we propose to make
the new appointments without the aid oil
political or personal influence.
To End the Insurrection.
Secretary Root is determined that the
fall campaign shall end the instruction
and that General Otis may have no eX
cuse for failure to bring it to close. lie
purposes giving him as large an army a
conditions may show to be necessary.
The proposed new regiments may b'
sent Immediately after the ten volunteer
regiments already enlisted should the ne
cessity for them be demonstrated. Should
it be apparent, when these commands hav'
been recruited, that Otis force Is still
insu. .cient to control the situation, re
cruiting will continue until all the volun
teers authorized by congress have beel
enlisted.
The recruiting for the ten new regiment
continues although they have their com
plement of men and the overflow ma,
serve as a nucleus for the new regiments
1t is the expectation of the department
that enough men for Is volunteer reg
ments will be obtained by the middle
September.

ROMANCE OF THE WAR.

One of Colonel Torrey's Men After Forty
Years Found His Mother Again.
That truth is stranger than fiction is
again proved in the curious story Of
how trooper in Torrey's wild riders
regiment found his mother after 40
years. The trooper, Tom Williams
Troop X, left jacksonville, Fla, the
other hight for Fort Meade to see a
mother whom he has thought dead
for many years. She is now 81 years Of
age, and she has long mourned for her
boy.
Many years ago the family lived on
the border Indians made raid and
killed Williams father. The mother.
with hroic spirit, bravely fought of
the Indians, killing several, when she
was knocked down by the merciless
blows Of tomahawk welded by red
demon. Tom, then youngster of or
8. was taken with the band. He lived
with them and was for year or two
subjected to the worst kind of treat
ment. He bears scars where Sits vert
made and skin torn off by the inhuman
redskins in their efforts to harden"
him. He also forgot the English lam
guage, One day tho band he was with
met defeat and he was rescued by the
whites. 1t took several years to win
him back to civilization. He was then
q strong, healthy youth of IS or 20. He
took up the cowboys pursuit and lived
in Wyoming. He enlisted under Colo
mel Torrey and went to Jacksonville.
In some manner his strange story
leaked out, and in some way his old
mother, now living at Fort Meade
south Florida, 200 miles south of Jack.
sonville, was informed of it. She COM
municated with friends in Jacksonville
Williams was informed Of the fact that
his mother still lived. In less than 20
hours he secured furlough and left to
see his old mother. 1t was queer
story, and his comrades crowded to the
depot to SEQ him off and wish him all
manner Of good luck and good wishes.
Williams is one of the best men of the
troop, and Colonel Torrey speaks high
ly of him, saying that he was very
quiet man, but with courage and
spirit that carried him through every

OF all wonan's work there is none

The first requisite is to have the cans

used in preparing jelly glasses.
AS an extra precaution after the tops
have been screwed down as tightly as

rosin, two parts beeswax and one part
tallow, melt and mix well, and when
preparing to can put on the back part Of
the stove, allow it to warm and after
each can is ready put a thick rim OF
