DREYFUS PARDONEC
The French Captain Will Soon be Sc,
Free.


The French Captain Will Soon be Sci
! Free.
Paris, Sept. 19.-Capt. Alfred
Dreyfus, convicted bv courtmartia
on the charge OF treason, with ex-
| tenuating circumstances has been
pardoned.
Tide council of ministers decided
today to pardon Dreyfus in prin-
ciple. The pardon will take effect in
a few days. Dreyfus has relinquish-
ed his appeal for a reversal of the
of the judgment Of the courtmartia!.
It is said that Dreyfus will be sent
abroad before the PRONUNCIATION of
his pardon, in order to avoid demon
strations. The announcement that
Dreyfus was to be pardoned had al
ready been discounted by predictions
and there was absolutely no excite
ment displayed along the boulevards,
when the newsboys ran along at
about 3:15 p. m. with the first edi-
tions, containing the statement that
the cabinet had decided to pardon
Dreyfus. The newspapers odd
quickly, but there was no rush for
them on the part OF the boulevardi-
ers. Those who bought the papers
sat down in front of the cafes and
read the announcements without
comment. Everyone expected it,
and the decision met with no opposi-
ton.
Droits de L Homme, the socialist
organ, said: ''Our task remains the
same after as before the liberation Of
Dreyfus, to continue the campaign
against all those responsible for the
Iamentable affair, and unmask the
forgers, traitors and false witnesses,
even though they may be covered
with glittering decorations. F."
In principle" is an OdlOm some
times used IN semi. official announce
ments of forthcoming actions. 1t
seems to have but slight bearing
on the matter except, perhaps, that
it implies the fulfillment of various
forma:ities before the pardon.
There is much remark here on the
strange coincidence of the death of
M. Scheurer-Kestner, the first
champion of Dreyfus, to whom he vir-
tually owes his freedom, on the very
day the cabinet decided to pardon the
prisoner. NJ. Schuerer-Kestner's
death was sudden. He had been i'll
during the past few days, but it was
not drought that his illness would
prove fatal.

Marshal Calls Hot Chase.

City Marshal CAN had quite an ex-
citing time. yesterday morning. with Il
prisoner. Fred Mason. who. after re-
ceiving his sentence for stealing an
overcuat. attempted to escape. The
man was captured some little time az
forwards by the marshal
A complaint was made to the police.
Monday night. that an overcoat had
been stolen from Mrs. Proctor's board
ing house. and. later. another conf
plaint was made that sum of money
had been stolen from the same place
The officers learned that up to the time
Mason went to the house there had not
been the slightest trouble from steal
ing. AS soon as suspicion was pointed
at the new boarder the officers began
a search for him and found that sew
eral times he had attempted to sell an
overcoat which answered the descrip-
ton of the one stolen. The man was
finally traced and. about midnight, the
officers laid their hands on Mason. He
was placed under arrest and. yesterday
morning. found guilty by Judge Shaw
OF the larceny of an overcoat.
When on Main street Mason attempt
ed to elude the officers but without
success. When near the police station
he turned around and saying good bye
started down over the railroad tracks
and through the streets in the vicinity
of Front street. The man is only about
% years old and in the pink of condi-
ton while City Marshal Call had his
265 pounds bound up in clothing de-
signed to keep him warm and not for
running.
The calls of the city marshal to the
people who had gathered to watch the
excitement were not needed and the
two had the race alone. Finally the
man seeing that he was in danger Of
being cornered started across the river
toward the Hollingswol'th & Whitney
Co. Here he was forced to change his
course and was collared by the mar
shall who took the man back to the sta
ton where he was placed in the strong
est cell.
Mason has quite a record, having Jus.
been released from Jail at Augusta.
where he was sent by Judge Larrabe,
Of Gardiner. for the larceny of watch
in that city.

by which City Marshal Call was not
given more truancy notices to serve. Il
took the school children but a short time
10 find this out. and in several of the
schools there was quite a mania with
some of the pupils for running away.
AT the Western Avenue school things
took more serious turn. There seemed
to be regular feud between the pupils
of this school and those in the South
Grammar school. Some of the scholars
in the latter school made it their business
TO lie in wait for the scholars in the
Western Avenue school and prevent them
from going in and out. The matter was
finally carried SO far that some of the
pupils in the Western Avenue school did
not go to school .it all. fearing the treat.
ment that they would receive from the
other scholars. There was no one N
whose hands the matter could be placed
and things assumed a serious attitude.
Chairman S. S. Brown of the school
board. and Superintendent Hitchings took
the matter in charge and finally succeed
ed in partially Strengthening the matter
out. The matter was brought before the
school board, Monday night. and there
thoroughly discussed, when the facts
which have been given above were
brought ,out. 1t was agreed that the city
should not get along without truan'

son that he has served on the school
board for ii of the II years he has lived
in the city he thought he ought to know
something of the school system and
what it has done. He referred to the
