his outrageous demands upon the Ameri-
can merchants for a second payment of
customs dues. or attempt TO collect the al
legged dues by force, the Detroit would be
pretty apt TO burn some gunpowder.

says: THE Dreyfus case absorbs the at
tention of the world to an increasing ex-
tent as the examination of the Court of
Cessation proceeds 1t has become a fac
tor of the balance of power in Europe.
The opinion is now universal that if Drey-
fus is not given a new trial in which all
the evidence shall be submitted to him,
then the people of France are unfit for
self-government. In many impartial but
influential quarters even worse beliefs are
held; for instance, that the French army
is honeycombed with corruption, and is
as rotten as il was in the last years of
Napoleon III that the real betrayers Of
military secrets were the same
men who procured the con-
vction Of Dreyfus. and that
they have been in the pay of the German
war Office for years All this has a most
disastrous effect on the standing of France
among the nations. Her prestige is drag
gled, her OPINIONS are houted and her al
lance is cheapened.

says England is evidently DESTROYS that

the construction of the canal which shall

Spain will probably not wish to take her
$2O0O0.OOO in golden eagles. load it on
ship and freight it home, on account of the
expense that would be involved. 1t would
be cheaper and more convenient for her to
take it in European exchanges; and there
in it is said, lies the opportunity for Wall
street to make a turn on the transaction.
1t is understood that a New York bank
or syndicate will accumulate $4,000 coo of
sterling exchange, force the rate down as
close to par as may be necessary to the
making of the deal, and sell the exchange
TO Spain for her good American gold. This
would enable Spain TO get her money
home at a smaller cost than by the other
plan. of freighting it across, and would
at the same time enable the New York
syndicate to turn an honest penny.

QUEEREST OF ALL DUELS.
One of the Most Remarkable Affairs
of Honor Ever Placed
on Record.

Letters from Buenos Ayres give de-.
tails of Il remarkable duel, of which the
famous Italian fencing master, Chev-
..!icr PM, whs the hero. PM recently
,pcmed school of arms in the Argen-
tine republic and, having been subject
.~A 10 some criticism by local jour1al-
i"t, told the scribe in his own fink.
I:.casant way what he thought of him.
.t2paration was demanded and pistols
we're the weapons selected. The con-
dltions of the meeting were singular.
The adversaries were to be placed back
70 back, and at the word of command
were each to take Is steps forward and
then to turn around and fire stimuli
taneously. On the ground the men
were placed as arranged and, at the
given signal, began to march forward,
one of the seconds counting the steps.
PM had only made five strides when
he heard report and the whistle of a
bullet past his ear. He turned and
saw his adversary with the smoking
pistol in his hand. PM, in q furious
rage, dropped his weapon, rushed at his
man and gave him a sound thrashinp
with his fists. The seconds took sides
Tor their respective principals and a
general melee went forward until some
gcndarmes arrived. Pini's adversary
then took to his heels and has not since
been seen.

BARGAINS IN TOMBSTONES.
advanced Methods In the FuneraI
business Adopted Nenr q
City Cemetery.

The approaches to ell the cemeteries
about New York are lined with stone
yards, where hendpieces may be had
on short notice and in a great variety
of styles to suit the varying tastes and
degrees of grief or sentiment on the
part of thc Survivors. TombstOnes are
such cumbersome and heavy ware that
they are displayed at the very gates
of the graveyards for convenience in
making prompt deliveries. The de-
mand for them is reasonably steady,
and it would not strike the casual OBJ
server that there was much stimulation
to an eager competition in the business
OF supplying them.
1t is the more surprising, therefore,
says the New York Sun, to come across
job lot Of headstones at bargain
prices. Out in an eastern suburb Of the
city on Long Island a wheeling tourist
came upon an odd spectacle of mark
down sale of tombstones the other day.
All goods were marked in plain figures
In the regular and much approved man
ner of the great department stores.
The prices were attractive and the man
ner Of their exhibition was enough to
tempt one to lay in a supply against
the time when in the course of nature
he might need something in this line.
Lettered in white paint were all
styles, shapes and sizes in granite mon
uments-plain, polished and ornate.
"This style, $780," Every fine at s4s;"
"A beauty, only S14.5O," and Reduced
to $40" were some of the legends. The
stonecutter stood, like n hoorwnlker,
among his wares, wearing an inviting
smile, while rival dealer across the
way looked on with scorn all ever his
grimy face at the advanced business
methods of his neighbor.

The Man With A Gun.


A French Canadian named Isadore
Munyon created considerable excite
rnent on the Marshville bridge and on
the Westside last evening, and he Is
now cooling off in the city Jail. Mum
yon came into town yesterday from
Oyster Bay to make some purchases.
Among other things he bought was a
pistol. There was later added to his
purchases large supply of liquor.
When he started for home on a wheel
about z O'Clock he had a bottle of
whisky in each of his trousers pockets
and the pistol in front AS he went
down Fourth street near the draw
bridge he lost his balance and tell off
the wheel. His efforts to remount
caused several passers-by to jolly him
somewhat. This angered Munyon,
who whipped out his gun and pulled it
on the joshers. There was an inn
mediate scramble and the way they
went oyer fences and behind shelter
was sight to behold. Seeing that he
he had cleared the field of his antag-
onists Munyon proceeded on his way.
When he got to the top of the West
side hill he concluded to stop and
arouse the neighborhood, which he
did by firing several shots in the air.
Officer Mack followed Munyon out
quite way and brought him back to
town and locked him up. He will be
brought up in police court today to
answer for the fun he had

various packages showed that they
were gong in every direction, from
Hoquian on the west to Roslyn on the
east. In all yesterdays shipments
took out over 1900 jars.
Later in the day Mr.. Scobey stated
to representative of this paper. that
he is very well pleased with the ont
look for market. He thinks his en-.
tire product of 1866 jars will find :
ready sale.
The goods are strictly first class"
said Mr.. Scobey. "Great pains was
taken in the manufacture and thev are
as pure as nice fresh, ripe strawberries
and the best grade of granulated
sugar can make them. They contain
neither glucoe, coloring matter, CELIA
tine nor any other substance than
those mentioned. BY the way, the
food commissioner of this state Is inst
now investigating this class of goods
and II am not mistaken there will be
scattering among the highly colored
badly adulterated goods that are beinr
shipped in from eastern states and
from some even nearer. If people
only knew what they have been eat
ing in the past, in commercial jellies
and jams, they would appreciate
good thing and pure thing when
they get it.''
Mr.. Scobey states that his goods
will be on the shelves of all dealers in
this city in few days. He will set
aside reasonable amount to supply
the local demand and the balance will
be sold to the outside trade. The in
dications of success are now such that
he will probably continue the manu-
facture, increasing the output next
year and adding other fruit, such as
raspberries, blackberries, cherries and
prunes to the list.
Bro. Scobey, although somewhat re-
nowned as newspaper man and poll
tician, will now be known to fame as
the Strawberry jam Man." He GER
tainly deserves credit for taking an adj
vantage of one of our splendid oppor-
tunities, of preserving our own splen-
did fruit for use in other seasons, to
the exclusion of the ''doctored" East
ern article, which was the only thing
heretofore in the market.

Friday night at his home at South Bay.
Mr.. Sylvester had been confined to his
bed for several weeks, suffering from
heart troubles and Bright's disease
and gu Friday night at 1880 O'Clock
the summons came.
Crowell Hatch Sylvester was born

20. 1925, and consequently was in his
seventy-fourth year at the time of his
death. Ia 1S47 he was married in
Maine. In early life he was seafaring
man, having for time been captain
of an ocean-going vessel. His brother
Edmund Sylvester, the founder of Oily
mpia, had been on the Pacific prior to
1854 and in that year went east and
persuaded him to come to Washington.
In that year the brothers arrived in

being in comfortable circumstances.
He was an honest man and good

disposition. He left widow and two
children, Crowell H. jr., and Eunice
