THE EsTRoLLEfs.

II TiEsSTRoLLER.
Well, here lam again, around to that
question Of public drinking fountains.
notice that the general drinking vessel
is used just as much as ever, and this
leads me to remark that the only scien-
tlfc way Of partaking at . public foun-.
tain is certainly the one used by horses
and other animals. just stick your snoot
into the living stream, drink all you
want, and let the filthiness with which
you may be infested dow away into
the sewer where it can injure no one. In
many of the parks in the larger cities
nowadays they have fountains arranged
30 that the human beast may drink
comfortably just in this way and no
cups or glasses are provided, and think
it's mighty good plan.
And while / am on this subject / want
to call attention to state of affairs in
North German park which should be
speedily remedied. And that is the
fact thatin that popular resort no proper
facilities have been provided whereby
the visitor may quench his thirst. True
there is a fountain and hydrant, but
as the average visitor does not carry q
hose, drinking is attended with more or
less discomfort and Inconvenience.
am. however, authorized by one of
our leading and public spirited business
men to say that he stands ready to do
nate to the park commission one Of these
now-fangled, sanitary fountains, free of
cost to the city, upon condition that it
be placed in some suitable location IN
the park and be kept in proper condition
for the use of the public. I am not at
liberty at this time to make public the
name of the gentleman who makes this
offer, but am free to say that he is a
well-known citizen and a man in whom
the entire city places the most implicit
confidence. If the park board desires
further information shall be pleased to
give it to them.
The editor who prepared the annexed
market report had a happy conception
of life and tab on things as they are :
"Young men, unsteady; girls-lively,
in demand; cotfee-considerably mixei :;
fresh fish--active and slippery; wheat
grain better than barley; eggs-quiet,
but will probably open in few days :;
whiskey-steadily going down; onions
strong and rising; breadstuffs-heavy !;
boots and shoes-those in market 's,ied'
and steadily going up and down; hats
and caps-not as high as last fall except
foolscap, which is stationery: tobacco
very slow and has downward tenden-
cy; money close, but not close enough
to get hold Of; feathers-light and 60
ing up; iron-very firm; butter-grow-
ing stronger; opium-a drug in the
market; advice-good but no demand"
"a woman will yank up the guyropes
of her corset until she almost squeezes
her immortal soul out of place." says an
observing cynic, "and put a dead bird
on her hat and 60 strutt1ng around over
town, selling tickets for an entertainment
to raise money to help send missionaries
to some foreign cline for the purpose
of teaching civilization to the poor
heathens who have never known what
it is to wear a corset and who have been
struggling on in the ignorant belief that
birds were created to sing instead of to
! bt worn on a hat.''
New Ulm review., 1900-08-15

There IS the ordinary hat and the Ian
pher hat. The difference is marked.
Always ask for the LampheI. 81
New Ulm review., 1900-08-15

According 10 the republican press,
where the populists fuse with the demo-
Gratis it is idiocy and treason, but we
notice that where they have made a
combination with the republics ns for
local or other reasons they are lauded
as patriots and wise men, Either state
ment OF the case is the vllest rot. Fu-
zion does not mean the surrender of a
single one of the principles of the popu-
list party, but is the wisest and most ef-
fective means for attaining the desired
end, aud the man who charges that fu-
sion means the sacrifice Of the principles
Of populism IS both TOOL and knave.
New Ulm review., 1900-08-15

If Van Saut is elected it will be by
trailing along at the tail of the national
ticket, That the republican leaders re-
cognize this is proven by the extraor-
dinary effolts they are putting forth for
the national ticket to the almost utter
exclusion of personal work for their
candidate for governor. The line of
campaign in this state can be summed
up in very few words: General prosper
ity, expansion and don't haul down the
flag, but mighty little in regard to state
issues except personal abuse of John
Lind. Watch them, and see If THIS guess
is not good one.

and an enemy of PAX Chez 1t was
brought out by the attorney for the
defense that PAX Chez had a criminal
record being booked on various
charges. including robbery. many diff
culties with the police. and two escapes
from jail. This evidence was somewhat
softened by the fact that the prodigal

time been an informant. helping the
police to get evidence against other Of

stated that his enemies intended to
make way with his client because he
was interfering with their interests.
The ChiDaman was kept on the stand
nearly an hour. and a lively interest
was manifest among the pig-tailed au-
dience. which consisted Of members OF
the See Yup, Wong Leung Too, and
other clans. PAX Chez was under tbs
fire Of hundreds Of pairs Of almond eyes
and was decidedly nervous. He testi-
fed that he feared TO be killed and that
his life was in continual danger. By
the time he had finished he had contra.
dicted himself many times.
The testimony for the defense devel
oped the fact that about thirty China
men had been present when the at

tack was made and, strange to say, the
evidence appeared to implicate everv
one of them except the three who had
been arrested. These it seems, were as
innocent as newborn babes, and their
bland, childlike faces showed no trace
of guilt.
Judge Wilcox could gather but little
of the truth in the matter and he dis
missed the case. More will probably
be heard of the difficulty, as the venge-
full heather Chinee" is not the man to
let such trif1es drop. Honolulu has
never known a highbinder war. but in
dications are that things will be lively
among the Celestial population before
long.
Deputy Sheriff Chiliingworth, who
has found the reformed informant of
much value in seeking out offenders of

others are all against him.

said. "The stories are very contradlc-

benefit of the doubt. so I therefore dis
charge them.

SEQUEL TO THE DREYFUs CASE.

1t now seems that while the question
of general amnesty for all persons
concerned in the Dreyfus case was be-
ing examined by commission of the
French Senate, Commandant Ester
hazy. who was then in London made
an exhaustive deposition before the
local French Consul General which,
however. was either not communicated
to the commission or rejected by it, A
recent number of the Independence
Beige, published in Brussels, contains
the full text of the deposition. which
was sworn to by Esterhazy Copies of
the documents to substantiate the dec
lar ations are also In some instances pre-
sented. The deposition incrminates
Colonel du Patty de Clam, Colonel Hen
ry. General Billot, General Boisdeffre,
General Gonse and General Saussier
Esterhazy swears that the bordereau,
which was the sole legal piece of evil
dence against Dreyfus. was forged by
Esterhazy, and that therefore the ex-
animation of it by the handwriting ex-
perts was illusory He practically
confirms the conclusions arrived at by
| the court de cessation as far as they
went admitting the truth of the
charges made bv this court against
him, but declaring that in forging the
document he acted in obedience to or
ders. Moreover, he declares that the
alleged letters from the Kaiser contain
| ing evidence of Dreyfus treason were
simply fabrications.
