REAL TRAITORS OF FRANCE.
Esterhnzy and Henry Furnished
Many Papers to Germany.

Esterhnzy and Henry Furnished
Many Papers to Germany.
London, Aug. 10.--The Times says:
I'VE are in a position to state that, in
addition to communications of slight value
enumerated in the bordereau, more than
100 documents Of considerable Importance
were furnished TO the German attache in
Paris, Col Schwarzkoppen at various
times by Esterhazy, acting as interme-
diary for and accomphce Of the tate
Lieut.. Col. Henry.
"One of these documents contained de-
tailed information re.ative tc the general
plan Of mobilization for the French army
The proceeds of this traffic were divided
between Esterhazy and Henry.
In Partisan diplomatic circles the latter
was known To be The real traitor for sey-
eral months before his arrest and suicide
end beside the power most directly con-
cerned, namely, Germany, more than one
European government received informa-
lion to this effect early In 1885,"
In an editorial based upon the foregoing
important Information the Times says
1T is hard to imagine anything in the
whole Of romance TO equal the sequence of
events whereby a traitor who had been
betraying the most vital interests OF his
country 10 a IOfelgu power, should, after
contriving to fix suspicion on an Innocent
man, and after securing that mans con
victiou by the eloquence of his denuncia-
ton, be the very man 10 be selected as
head of the secret intelligence department
in order 70 crush endeavors then begin
ming to he made 20 discover the truth.
Tine question arises: What gave this
bald educated man such power over his
superiors that they were impeled not only
TO lend the sanction Of their high author
ity but to devote their whole activity, elo-
quence and plighted word of honor 10 the
task of aiding him in his even struggle
against the light? Is 1t possible. that
without confederates whose word would
carry greater influence than his own. Hem
Ty could have imposed on the simplicity of
the whole general staff?
1T is quite clear that the acquittal of
the unhappy victim of perhaps the foulest
plot ever devised will close but one chap
ter in the story of the terrible internal
conflict France has had to undergo"

after the Columbia made a gain so that
the Defender could cross under her stern
the Columbia did not walk away as the
heavy breeze hove the latter down and
made her lose distance on repeated luffs

That Old Gag.

Colonel Hogaboom, the only really truly Southern California funny man, Is about to issue new book. It is his own biography, written by his mother in-law. AS he has no mother-in'law and very little biography it can be seen at once that the new volume will possess some elements of decided in terest. Hogaboom has an interesting theory about jokes and funny things to the effect that there is no such thing as new joks. All the poss'- bilities of fun he holds were exhausted in he PtolemaIc age, and since then all the humor.st can do Is to redress the old quips that used to cheer the slaves in the building of the pyramids. As matter of fact, there is likely enough truth in "Hogey's" theory. For example, the freshness of funny saying does not count-it all depends on who utters it and how. 4 book of Chauncey Depew's jokes has just been issued, and the very first one, placed in the lead, doubtless, because the editor thought it his best one, Is that miserable old whiskery yarn about the soldier from Yuma going to hell and sending back after his blankets. That is, happen to know, one of the doc tors favorite stories. When he eau e out bere two years or more ago I was detailed to interview him, having known him in the east. I met him at the Arcade depot, and just as ap- proached the group surrounding him someone called out, "Tell us one of your stories, doctor" And he started right in with the stone-age story of the Yuma soldier. And then he laugh ed and the crowd laughed with him as if it was all new to them, which proved to my mind that Californians are the very pOlitest people on earth.-Othe- man Stevens in L. 4. Herald.

Future of the Bicycle.

1t is agreed by all blcycle manufac- turers that the 1899 models represent the perfect wheel. Improvement seems to be impossible Precisely the same thing is true of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. It represents the limits of science In overcoming disease, and 1t Is impossible to make better medicine for the stomach, liver, kid neys and blood. A few doses of the Bitters will start weak, nervous and bloodiesspeople onthe road to strength. A regular course of treatment will bring back the pink to the cheeks and sparkle to the eye. Sleep will come naturally, and it will be refreshing and healthful.. Dyspepsia, indigestion and constipation will be completely banlshed, and the blessings of true health bestowed.
