The DEATH OE ZOlA.

The sudden and tragic death of Emile
Zola removes one Of the most interesting
characters and one Of the most eminent
men of this generation. zola would have
been famous If he had done nothing more
than write books. He was a scholar;
he was literary genius. and writer
Of rare ability. His books attracted at
tention not only in France but the
world over. and some Of them may be
said to have marked an era In French
literature
But lola was more than an author He
was brave man with the courage to
stand for the right, and to denounce and
defy the powerful men who conspired
against Captain Alfred Dreyfus. of the
French army. Zola felt sure that ORGY
fus was innocent and that he was the
victim of damnable conspiracy. Under
that conviction he had the courage 10
print in one OF the Paris papers a let
ter in which he accused by name The
officers and members of the War Office
Of deliberately falsifying in the Dreyfus
case. In this famous letter he did not
mirce words. but in plain ana ringing
words brought his accuse tons against
Colonel du Patty de Clam. General Mer-
cier, General Billot. and others high in
authority, publicly charging them with
having falisihed for purpose, and with
having conspired against the name Of a
fellow soldier whom they hated. 1t was
ono of the boldest and bravest acts Of
recorded history In this or any age, and
for all time to come the name of zola
Will be honored.
