COL. DU PATTY DE CLAM.
Nemesis Lost Little Time In Overtak-
ing Dreyfus's Fersecutor.


copyright, 1889. by the Associated Press.l
PARIS. June 3.-Col. Du Patty de Clam is
is confined in the cell where he tortured
inquisitor, bereft Of conscience. What an
awful awakening there must now be of the
hidden monitor! Nemesis has been less halt
ing than usual in overtaking him. / am
told that he was preparing to escape to
Belgium when he was arrested.
Madame Du Patty de Clam is a sister Of
the Duke d'Ursel, a great Belgian noble
man, who is also governor Of the province
of Hainault. His first cousin is Count Nun,
head of the Catholic party in the French
Chamber of Deputies. Her brother recent
ly married daughter of Comte and Com
tesse De Franqueville, nee Earad. They are
owners of Chateau Muette. at Passy, which
was formerly a royal shooting lodge. The
chateau stands in a large park with state
ly avenues of ancient trees planted two
hundred years ago.
Madame Du Patty de Clam had the cler-
ical party behind her, and Col. Du Patty de
Clam was protected by his cousin, M. Cav
aignac. He, feeling himself forsaken. is
likely to make revelations.
General Mercier, former minister of war,
shows nervousness, though not the white
feather. He, too, was advised to go abroad,
but he will not do so. Before Col. Du Patty
de CLAIMS arrest his description and photo
graphs of him were sent to the frontier
commissioners of police.
A pathetic feature of the Dreyfus case Is
the eleven long supplicatory letters TO Presi-
dent Faure from Devils island. Dreyfus
fancied that General De Boisdeffre and NJ
Faure were his friends. and he wrote them
accordingly. His heart, soul and exasper-
ated nerves were expressed in those letters.
No wonder that M. Faure, in dying, suppl.-
Gated all those whom he had injured to
forgive him. Those meant, coming from
Faure's lips, Dreyfus and his family. The
late President suffered himself to be black
mailed into hindering the work of justice
and Nemises took him up also. Were ne
still alive the event of to-day could not
have happened. President LoubstOhas stood
out against all tampering with The judica-
ture.
Colonel Picquart's memorial was adopted
though in terms by the Court of Cessation.
He is still in prison, but will probably be
released next week.
sThe judgment of the Court of Cessation
was communicated to Dreyfus. and orders
have been sent to convey him. to Brest.
Nine. Dreyfus is ILL., The great Joy after
the prolonged tension is the cause.
Paris is quiet.
Major Marchand is Ill from the lunches
dinners and ovations he has received. He
wishes to go home, and will leave soon
His being here prevents hot excitement
about Dreyfus. EMILY CRAWFORD.

ed in San Francisco, where Augustus
Howard who is an old confdeoe man
with dozen aliases, and whose real name

about three weeks, but made no attempt
to arrest him until the papers had OK
plotted his crimes for several days, when
he escaped.
He is an old confidence operator and
the papers report that the amount he got

TRIED IT ON THE DOG.

Last night Robert Treat Paine, Jr.,
went out to Braintree and tried his
campaign for the governorship on the
dog. The chief feature of his speech was
what it did not say instead of what 1t
did.
Paine was nominated on the Chicago
platform, with few democratic access
cries thrown in which would hasten the
man who ran upon it into political OBJ
livion. But there wasn't a. word in his
speech about Bryan, or the crime Of
'73, or the gold bugs of Wall street, or
Lombard street. It was dreary waste
of words in which Paine succeeded in
substracting from the sum total Of
human knowledge.
To neglect to advocate the free coin
age of silver at a ratio of 16 to l, was
little less than treason to George Fred
Williams and Bryan. Paine is for ex-
pansion, but against its enforcement.
He is for free silver in the platform
but afraid to say so on the stump. AS
a campaign opener his speech was as
cheerful as a graveyard at midnight in
the dark of the moon. The democrats
nominated Paine because they found
Treat in his name. They expected he
would open his campaign with a cork
screw in Boston instead Of speech in
Braintree.
|. AS a result of the experiment with
the canine last night, it is quite likely
that poetic history will repeat itself,
and we shall hear that "the dog, it was
that died"

THE YACHTS.

Today the yachts will make another
attempt, the fifth, to complete the first
race. Beginning with today, they will
sail, or try to, each day until the inter
national match has been completed,
With each failure of the yachts to drift
over the course within the time limit,
the hopes of New Workers have fallen,
till they are about ready to give up the
cup without trial. The cartoonists of
Gotham are making merry over the in
ability of the yachts to complete one
race in week and half. Pictures
have appeared in recent publications
representing the yachtsmen and crew
and reporters as old men, with long
white boards and white hair, still wait
ing for the finish of the international
match. 1t may be that the race will
provide the theme for modern "Rime
of the ancient mariner"

OUTLOOK BRIGHT.

The early plans made by the man
agement of the Worcester base ball
team, show more than anything else
how much confidence the promoters of
the game have in Worcester as a base
ball city. The successful season recent
ly finished warrants that confidence.
The management was handicapped in
the choice of grounds, but it was a
drawback which had to be accepted, for
the question resolved itself into playing
at the oval or not at all. In spite of 1t,
Worcester made a place for itself at
the top of the league in financial stand
ing.
This success was attained by conduct
ing the team on a business-like basis,
in the same manner as any financial
enterprise. The reputation of Worcester
as a good base ball city was retrieved.
1t was conclusively proven that the
failures of previous clubs were entirely
due to laxity of management. With the
same management behind the club
another season, whether at the old or
a new location, the prospects for next
season are reassurirg.

RAILWAY MArERTAL.

There has been some sharp criticism
in Worcester relative to the refusal of
the railroad managers to declare higher
dividend rates, but it should be remem-
bered that while labor and almost all
material used by railroads have adj
vanced, rates, except in few isolated
cases, are not increasing The full effect
of these conditions have not yet been
felt, because in the matter of material
the railroads are protected by contracts
placed some time ago, before the ad-
vance became pronounced
If the present prices of steel and other
materials continue, however, the roads
will be obliged to place orders to some
extent, although their purchases will be
less than during the past few years.
This means that large part of the in
creased earnings will be absorbed by
the increased cost of operation. The dis
satisfied ones may realize before an
other year has passed that the railroad
management is right.

ALABAMA TRouBADoURs.
Gorman's Negro Company Appears at
the Worcester Theater.

Germans Alabama Troubadours were
greeted by small audience at the Wor-
cester theatre last night. but it was an
indulgent audience that overlooked the
bad features and made the most Of the
good ones. The company has improved
lake last summer, and several new acts
have be IN added, which, together with
the advantages scenery gives, makes it
q fairly presentable show. Many of the
individual acts are OF unusual quality,
though the performers were almost
without exception obviously born and
reared north of Mason and Dixon's line.
They work hard to give the genuine
southern effect to their songs and
dances, but their language is too correct
and the singing lacks the real southern
swing which is so full of melody.
OF course, most OF the songs are in
rag time though several CT the old
ballads are sung with good effect. Little
Rosie does a pleasing speciality in the
second part where she introduces an
old plantation song Of the right sort,
accompanying herself on a banjo with
no mean ability. Hattie May has an I'M
usually sweet soprano which she knows
how to use and Charles Sport sings
several solos In an excellent tenor. Jas.
Reed sings "Old Black joe in the first
part, and several bass solos in the sec
ond part.
The dance given by George Dupree is
full of novelties in the way of steps,
and Spencer T. Finley has monologue
act which is undoubtedly original. The
Rough Rider drill has been greatly i'm
proved since last summer, and the old
war songs are sung with the usual eff
feet, the raising of Old Glory during the
singing brings rounds of applause from
the audience. The performance winds
mp with a cake walk, in which the entire
company takes part, the manager being
little Phil, who has great deal to do
during the whole show. The same com
pany has the stage tonight and deserves
larger audience than that accorded 1t
last evening

ANOTHER UNION.
An Effort Will Be Made to Organize
Swedish Machinists.

At a special meeting of the Machinists
Union in labor headquarters last eve
ming, it was voted to organize a. local
union composed of Swedish machinists.
Organizer John J. Connolly of Chicago
advocated the project, believing that it
would stimulate the growth of the un-
ion movement among machinists. A
mass meeting of Swedish machinists
will be held in labor headquarters Mon
day evening. Organizer Connolly will
have the assistance Of an interpreter,
and thorough canvass will be made
for members.
1t was estimated that 1900 workmen in
Worcester shops are eligible to mem
bership, and from this, Organizer Con-
molly has faith in being able to draw
the nucleus for q union which will run
a close race for honors with the hust-
ling local now established. A petition
to the board of aldermen for a public
meeting for discussion of the action of
the aldermen regarding the eight-hour
law was circulated, and the names of
100 legal voters were added.
