EVIDENCE AT KEYNES YESTERDAY
 EXPECTED ID CAUSE ACQUITTAL
The Testimony of the Entire Session Most Favorable to the
 PSOner---Ihe Generals Confused
Paty de Clam, who had had the bordereau in his hands for the previous twenty days"
 The Words New Piin"

Paty de Clam, who had had the bordereau in his hands for the previous twenty days.
 The Words New P,an"
 M. Defends Lamothe, by this, intended to show that Du Paty de Clam purposely used the words new plan in the circular or der by what the witness described as ar guing in a vicious circle to back up his contention that an officer of the ministry wrote the bordereau and that that ofhcer was Dreyfus.
 General Roget then rose to reply to M. Desfonds Lamothe, but found he had. caught a tartar. He did not succeed in shaking the witness testimony while M. Desfonds Lamothe took the unprecendent- ed course of actually questioning General Roget and getting the better of him once or twice. The two men stood exchanging heated arguments, totally ignoring Colohel Jouaust who was twice obliged 10 ask them not to speak at each other anu 10 re- main calm General Roget especially was excited, particularly when he found that he was making no impression on his op- ponent who, on the contrary, scored or him.
 Roget Badly Worsted
 Roget was unused to this treatment, as hitherto he has had his own way and been allowed to bully witnesses. Finally, on Roget declaring that Dreyfus might have written 1T am going to the manuevres, because he could have asked special per- mission which is, invariably granted M. Demange asked him if there was any proof that Dreyfus did ask such permis- sion. To this General Roget replied:
 q don't know. No trace has been found of his application" This answer brought a chorus of "Ohs'' from the audience, be- cause had Dreyfus asked, traces would have been easily forthcoming. Roget then said that Dreyfus might have asked verb ally, in which case no trace of his appli- cation could be found
 Quite so," rejoined M. Demange, "but the head of the bureau could be asked wthther any such request was made"
 This practically ended the session, which was one of the most interesting and un- deniably the most favorable to Dreyfus yet held. The military witnesses followed the evidence with all eyes and ears, ex- changing confidences. which, judging from the expression on thelr faces, were evil dently far from agreeable.

New Orleans, La., September 2.-The board of health announced tonight that there was no case of yellow fever in New Orleans beyond the suspicious one reported on Euterpe street and which is considered out of danger. Today a house to house canvass within a radius of ten blocks from the two houses in which cases had ap- peared revealed not single case of ill- ness that was even remotely suspicious.
 This house to house canvass will be con- tnued for five days, and if at the end oe that time no further cases develop in the vicinity of the two reported 1t will be taken for granted that there will be no spread. There was a full meeting of the state board of health today to discuss the situation. The health officers of Mississippi and pr. Murray. the government representative, were present. It was decided to wire the health officers at Montgomery and Mobile and pr. Blunt of Texas, inviting them to an immediate conference in this city and tc an investigation of the health conditions In New Orleans.

Health Officers Invited.

A telegram was received from Dr. Blunt this evening saying that he could not come at once. but giving the impression that he would do so soon as possible. Tele- grams were subsequently, sent to the Ala bama officers notifying them of Dr. Blunts reply, and requesting them to hold them selves in readiness to come to New Or leans when Dr. Blunt can do so. The health authorities here are confident that the two cases reported here will prove sporadic and that there is no danger of a spread of the disease. The Mississippi phy- sicians have resolved to stand by New Or leans and to urge the sister states to re- move their quarantines until there are de- velopments warr tnting extreme action. In the meanwhile freight and passenger traf- fic to Alabama and Texas is tied up.

Fattening Hogs Early.

The most common mistake of farmers
in feeding hogs, though much less frequent
ly made than il used to be, is TO starve or
halfstarve the animals through the early
summer and only begin to feed heavily
when corn husking begins The soft
nubbins are always given first, and the
pigs stomach, unused to such heavy food
is unable 10 digest ii with the result that
it ferments in the stomach, and this causes
acid to rise in the mouth, making 1t sore
as soon as the corn is hardened for the
pig to chew. 1t is often said that allowing
pigs to run in orchards and pick up sour
apples is what makes their teeth sore. 1t
is true that pig which has sore mouth
and aching teeth has also generally an
acid mouth, but the sourness comes from
fermentation in the stomach, rot from
something sour originally put into it. If
the apples are cooked and dry corn is
ground into meal and mixed with them,
there will be no sore mouth. The small
potatoes, refuse beets and other roots, if
cooked, and also pumpkins, make an ex-
cellent base with which to feed any KINDS
of grains The grain may be cooked with
the roots. and thus softened it will digest
nearly as we'll as if dried and ground. But
it must be remembered in feeding cooked
grain or meal that the grain swells so that
il has less bulk than grain or meal that
has not been cooked. The hogs fill them
selves with it and as it digests more quick
ly than uncooked food they require to be
fed more frequently.

Value of Eggs and Poultry
Marketed.

Some time ago paper read before a
farmers institute at Princeton contained
the statement. that the number of chickens
marketed in the United States last year
to 1850, 900, 900, and of eggs
1 5000, 900, 600. The total value of chickens
and eggs produced was $500, 900 900.
By way of showing the comparative i'm
portance of the poultry industry it was fur
Their stated that the value of our tobacco
crop has rarely been as much as $4,000, :
900. The value of our potato crop is less
than $50, 900, 900 on the average. The
value of our barley crop is not often as
much as $50, 900 900. An oat crop worth
$500, 900, 900 is unusual output of pig iron
has rarely exceeded 81 &c, 900, 900 in value.
Coal, by far the most valuable of our
mineral products, gives total annual out
put of some 5000, DOC, 900.
While the, authority for the high estimate
of the value of the poultry products was
not given, the publication of the figures
directed good deal of attention to the

Very rarely in the history Ct ordinary
moon eciipses have the observers been
favored with as perfect weather as at

moon Saturday night. From scientihc
standpoint the eclipse was unimportant.
The moon began TO enter the earth

total as It ever reached 1895. 1000 OF It's
diameter, when in the shadow. In this
city not cloud marred the effect OF the
shadow, and the spectacle was viewed
by crowds on the streets.
To the unprofessional observer, the
eclipse was spectacle of rare beauty.
The moon was full, and in its bright
light the fieecy clouds. which sailed across
the sky. stood out in bold relief from the
blackness OF the void beyond. As the
shadow crept across the face Of the moon
the pale yellow-blue Of the lunar light
changed TO pink, and at the upper edge
to dark luminous purple. Slowly the
pink grew more vivid until il was red,
and then the red softened to transpar-
ent misty shade, ike the color OF an
opt ming rose bud or the first faint blush
Of the dawn. As the shadow passed
from east to west the red grew fainter
and fainter, until at last il faded into
pink again. and then into violet and blue
Then the yellow light came from be-
meath the dark and the eclipse was over.
This beautiful color symphony is ex-
planned by the astronomers as follows: =
Those rays OF the sun which pass through
the earth's atmosphere tangent to the
surface of the earth are refracted by the
comparatively dense medium into the
shadow. Wherefor being thus deprived
OF their violet and blue elements, they
illumine the moon. as they fall upon II,
with the red rays of the spectrum. The
next almost total eclipse of the moon TO
be seen in this part of the world will not
take place until October 10th. 1902.

after spreading out In line of skirmish-

squarely into an ant-hill. Thousands
OF the little pests swarmed angrily
over him, biting with the peculiar pen
etration of Filipino ants. In second
the soldier jumped up, swearing and
almost screaming with the pain.
