The second conviction Of Captain Dreyfus
does not cause surprise TO those who have
followed the course of the present trial
foreshadowed from the beginning. If the
court-martial which tried him was not de-
liberately organized to convict it was at
least 80 evidently pre-hostile to the de-
PENDANT, so little disposed to seek the truth
or do justice and so plainly determined to
vindicate "the honor of the army by rem
dering the verdict demanded by the ring Of
military conspirators against Dreyfus that
the whole trial partook of the nature of a
travesty on justice. 1t has presented al
most every possible feature that fair trial,
even by court-martial, should not present,
and has shocked the sense of justice of the
whole civilized world. The verdict is a dis
grace to France. to the French government
and people, and, above all, to the French
army. Incidentally 1t is an insult to Ger
many, which went as far as any foreign
government could in asserting Dreyfus' S
innocence.
If the French government, people and
army are governed by the spirit that ami
mated the judges in this trial the days Of
the French republic are numbered, and,
no matter what sort of government may be
substituted for il, the world could hardly
be the loser.
The case is not yet ended, for even if
Dreyfus's counsel do not appeal to higher
court. as they probably will, his friends
will never rest until they have secured him
justice, provided he lives long enough to
afford them time. The case may yet de-
velop national. and. perhaps, international

The British Trades Union Congress, In
session In Plymouth, voted down a PROPOSE
zion in favor Of bimetallism by decided
majority. the trades-unionists represented
being 10000 against $4,000 in favor OF
the resolution Later a resolution declaring
that the people should own and control the
means OF production and distribution and
take political action to bring the proposition
about also was voted down. Thus 1t seems
that neither silverism nor socialism meets
with the appreciation Of British trade organ

LINCOLN BIOGRAPHIES.

A life of Abraham Lincoln, written by
Norman Hapgood, is announced among the
Forthcoming books. Inevitably one wonders
What he can offer in the way of event or
circumstance in the great Presidents life
which has not already been told or what
different estimate of his character and deeds
he can make than that already accepted
by this generation of readers. 1t is, of
course, not to be assumed that the final
word has been said concerning this lead
ing figure in nineteenth century history.
That will not be spoken, perhaps. until 9TH
er centuries have gone and the world has
had a chance to view him and his work
from a long perspective of time. The peo-
pie of to-day. which is still his own day.
since those yet live who knew and worked
with him, feel that they have so thorough
a knowledge of him and of what went TO
make him what he was that all now re-
naming for any contemporary biographer
must of necessity be corroboratfve of what
has gone before. or a repetition. The Hay
and Nicolay work must be accepted for all
time as an authoritative story of Lincoln's
four years. and their annals include also not
a little purely personal matter. His one
time law partner. Lamon. published vol
ume of "reminiscences which. though prob
ably partaking rather largely of the custo-
mary inaccuracy of recollections, threw a
light on certain phases of his development
F. B. Carpenter, the artist, wrote of Lin
coin as he saw him in the White House
daily for six months. Abbott, Arnold, Coffin,
Stoddard and others produced biographies
of him which have been widely circulated

volumes relating to Lincoln. The latest
work published Is that Of Miss Tarbell.

WHERE is MISS GiLFoIL7
She Is Said to Have Como TO This
City From Turner's.

The police of Jersey City know nothing
of the whereabouts of Miss Theresa Gill
foil, the adopted daughter of DR.. Gillette.
a wealthy physician of Turner's, Orange
County. N. Y, who disappeared from her
home last Monda night. Miss Gilfoil is
eighteen ears of age, and Is reputed to be
very pretty. She is one of a large family
of girls, all of whom were adopted by well
to do people. DR.. Gillette has two sons,
both of whom are practicing physicians.
They became very much attached to their
foster sister. Miss Gilfoil was sent to
the best schools in Turner's, and arrange
ments had been made to send her to the
state Normal School at New Platz, to pre-
pare for vassar.
Miss Gilfoil was to have gone to New
PIatz last Monday, but h left home.
Tuesday morning DR.. Gillette learned that
she had walked six milesalong the Erie
Railroad tracks and then stopped and
boarded a train for Jersey City. DR.. Gil
lette traced the young woman as far as
this city, but failed to locate her.
A News reporter visited all the sta
ton houses in the city this morning. but
no trace of the mission girl could be
found. Inquiry at the Erie Railroad
depot failed to throw any light on the
mysterious disappearance.
Chief Of Police Murphy knew nothing
of the case until he fas interviewed by
the reporter. He notified all precincts to
keep a look out for her.
