LONDON, Aug. 12.-The Times says

ditionst communications of slight value
enumerated in the dossier more than
1O5 documents of considerable impor.
lance were furnished to the German ut.
tache in Paris, Colonel Schwarzkopfen,
at various times by Esterhazy, acting
as intermediary for and accomplice of
the late Lieutenant Colonel Henry.
Zone of these documents contained
detailed information relative to the
general plan of mobilization Of the
French army. The proceeds of this
traffic were divided between Esterhazy
and Henry. In Partisan diplomatic cir
cles the latter was known to be the
real traitor for several months before
his arrest and suicide, and beside the
power most directly concerned, namely
Germany, more than one European
government received information to
this effect early in 1898"

distress.

SOMETHING NEW
Questions on the War by Sunday School
 Teacher

Athens, June 21-(SpeciaD-A correspond ent of the Courier in this county writes to the paper that a new departure has been made in Sunday school literature in a neighborhood composed largely of northern people in this county. The questions pro- pounded to the school and to which they were requested to reply in unison last Sun day were as follows:
 Q. What new fields for missionary work have recently been opened up? A. Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippine islands.
 c. Is the war now being waged by the United States against the countries right? A. It Is.
 Q. How are the missionaries received in these countries? A. With kindness.
 Q. Why are they thus received? A. Be- cause they are from that humane country the United States.
 The correspondent says that for next Sunday the questions given out are as fol- lows:
 o. Is the present administration infalli- ble? A. It is.
 Q. Was the rebellion by the southern states wrong? A. It was.
 O. Was the rebellion in Cuba right? A It was.
 Q. Is the rebellion in the Philippines right? A. No, that is wrong.
 O. Who were the three grea test traitors the United States ever produced? A. Washington, Andrew Jackson and Jeffer- son Davis.
 Q. Why were they traitors? A. Because they were opposed to imperialism and ex- pansion, and advocated self-government and separation of church and state af- fairs.
 This matter has raised a row in the church circles that is likely to result in a worse division than the recent holiness question did few years since.

"soclety's" Breaking Up

The London Times, discussing the change of the Derby from society to popular event, has this to say of the change in British society itself:
 Its Derby Day's) decline, no doubt, has been, roughly speaking, coineident with the transformation which during the same period London society" itself has grad ually undergone. With the growth of wealth and luxury, proceeding step by step with the advance of democratic ideas, "so- clety'' in the old, exclusive sense of the world, society as it has been understood in this country for centuries, and as it is still understood in certain continental nations, ceased to exist. It perished not of inani- tion, as might have happened in less opu- lent and independent communities, but of hypertrophy. That is to say, it became too large to exist as a single group of in- dividuals lied" by still smaller knot of persons of recognized social rank and au- thority, whose tacit approval and accept- ance of any new candidate for entrance in- to the sacred circle was necessary to his or her admission. The day has gone by when the lady patronesses of Almacks could rebuke the Duke of Wellington's pre- sumption in assuming that his worldwide fame and immortal services entitled him to present himself without having gone through the preliminary formalities neces- sary to qualify for the privilege. Excluded persons of less importance than the Iron Duke would have formed too numerous body to submit humbly to their exclusion. It became impossible any longer to retain the institution under the control of aristocratic clique, and "society'' broke up into "sets' and coteries, never again to be reunited into an organic whole
