ed 1.-The Theatre and Its People," and
will run through seven numbers of the

The articles will treat of every phase of
the theatre, the play and the actor, from
the inside, and " i'll tell how theatre is
managed; the actual money which
plays have made; how an actor is
trained and what the actors are actually
paid; now play is written and what

ALL FINISHED.
Testimony in the Dreyfus
Case Was Closed This
Forenoon.
The Arguments Begin.
Labori Causes a Sensation
When Refused Permis-
sion to Take Deposi-
ton of Absent
Witnesses.
The Arguments Begin.

Rcnnes, Sept. 7.-Labori's effort to
obtain the testimony Of the foreign at
taches in behalf of Dreyfus failed. In
court today Labori announced that nei-
ther Schwartznoppen nor Panizzardi
could come to Rennes. lie requested
that commission be sent to take their
depositions. The court unanimously re-
fused TO grant the request. Labor
pleaded that both Schwartznoppe and
Panizzarsl were willing to testify if
asked TO do so.
All the evidence was finished early in
today's session and Major Carrier began
the speech for the prosecution.
Jouast's rendering of the Courts de-
cision in refusing Labori's request was
followed by movement of silence and
then as It's significance was realized a
roar came from the Dreyfusites. Order
was finally established and labori
sprung sensation by saying: "lnas-
much as Cernuschi the prosecutions new
witness has not appeared at the public
session since he was secretly examined
we have only the right to say that at the
secret session yesterday Cernuschi was
forced to ad nit that he was mistaken in
the identity of the accused having been
misled by photographs and that Drey-
fus not the man"
Labori read the letter showing that
Cernuschi is unworthy Of credence and
also letter from Esterhazy upon
which Labori commented as to the sig
niticant fact that a month after Dreyfus
had been condemned papers showing
denials that the organization OF Inc
French army was given to any foreign
power.
A long technical wrangle followed
concerning this declaration in which
Mercer. Roget, Picquart and Hartman
took part.
In conclusion Carrier in his argument
said: "What was first examined in this
trial was the dossier, and l recognized
Picsuart's work. thought this man
was innocent but went deeper. The
Court of Cassations was superficial

Natural Question.

very long time ago the British
government ordered that English
should be taught in Welsh schools.
AS result. in 1865 a colony of perse-
cuted Welsh miners fled from the Brit
ish tyranny and settled in the deserts
of Patagonia. These men were heroes.
and with most magnificent courage
they dared to live in a desert where
not plant would grow, where the
water was brackish and the heat In
tolerable. They were surrounded by
wild tribes OF hostile savages, and
made them warm friends; they were
ruled by a foreign government, and
became loyal citizens. Through long
years OF want and famine they never
despaired. They have turned the desert
into beautiful fertile country, have
become rich, number 5000 people, have
extended their string OF settlements
right across South America, own a
paying railway, and ship large crops
OF wheat, wool, ostrich feathers and
quanaco skins. They left Wales to es-
cape the tyranny Of the English Ian
guage, and now, rather than talk
Welsh, they converse largely OF their
freedom in excellent Spanish.
