pointed out the house occupied by the famous prisoner of Devils Island as we i passed down a quiet suburban thor Oughfare of the worlds gayest city. He had had an interview with Dreyfus that very week. He found him writing at his desk as unconcernedly as re- tired banker, determined to take life easy.
 He explained that he accepted the pardon which many declare he should not have done, at the sole ad- vice of his friends, and on the under standing that he could appeal against the decision. This chance has gone, now that the president has proclaimed an amnesty for all concerned.
 Dreyfus, continued my friend, is not a sympathetic man at first sight-rath- CT the other way; but the more you see of him-and have chatted with him some seven or eight times during the present year-the more you like him. After each conversation your opinion of him improves. You quickly discover the fact that he views with broad hti- manity the motives and acts of the men who made him curse the hour of his birth thousand times.
 He acknowledged to me the other day that his natural inborn reserve had made him many enemies.
 Until I met my wife" he once said to me, T never cared for the society of anybody. It was wrong. but never knew it until it was too late. I sought no friends and acquaintances because had not that inclination and because my ambition to succeed made me care full of my time. The hour devoted to friendly intercourse would be better spent in study, thought. When I joined the general staff, for instance, I card to superiors and comrades alike. It made bad blood; they thought me unciviI." %
 Dreyfus admits, without a shadow of hesitation, that many features of his case are unexplained to this day. He has many sincere friends who visit him frequently. Zola was a regular visitor to his house. Thus the ex-prisoner of Devils Island spends his time, happy in the confidence and love of his wife and children. With the exception of the police and few special friends no one knows of his whereabouts. .
 If Paris knew that the author of that historical and startling book, Five Years of My Life,' in which the writer tells of his sufferings during his five years banishment, was walking it's streets like an ordinary citizen it would go into convulsions. But Dreyfus-nor his most intimate friends, for that mat ter-is not likely to satisfy its curiosity by making himself known.-F'rom Tit Bits.

THE GUESTS EXCURSION.

Owing to the Hack men's Strike Extra
 Trolley Cars Had 60 be Obtained
 At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon the delegates and friends assembled at the New Haven house and preparations were commenced for the carriage ride about the city, which was scheduled for that hour. The committee on it's arrival found itselF confronted with a. rather serious problem. The Hackdrivers union declared a strike at o'clock yes- terday morning. and while there were any quantity of hacks in this city there was no drivers for them. It was intend ed to have used about seventy carriages but all that could be procured was about twenty. These arrived at 2:30 o'clock. As there were about 300 in all s who wished to take the trip around the city the committee sent for trolley cars to be used by those for whom there was no room in the hacks. The railroad company kindly complied by sending seven regular cars and the directors private car. The striking drivers con- gregated about the New Haven house and a special detail of police was sent there under Sergeant Gibson, but there was no particular need for them as the strikers made no trouble whatever.
 A tally-ho was procured and added to to the hacks. The procession of car- rages started about 2:2O o'clock with the three mounted policemen in front. The procession went down Chapel street to Temple, to Grove, to Hillhouse ave- nue, to Sachem street, to Whitney ave- nue, to Rock lane, thence up East rock to the top by way of Farnham drive, At the top a. stop was made and the places of interest about the city were pointed out to the visitors. A number of the delegates climbed to the top of the Soldiers monument. After some lit- tie time spent on the summit the car- riages drove down by way of the Eng fish drive. The party then went to Fort Hale park and Fort Wooster. The return drive to the city was then made and then all historic places of interest were visited. The party then returned to the New Haven house after having spent most enjoyable afternoon,
 Those who took the trolley cars were conveyed all over the lines of the con- pany and returned to the hotel at about the same time as the carriages. Enough time was then allowed the deIaeates and guests to prepare for the banauet, which took place at Music hall at 6:30 o'clock

BANDIT HUNTERS.
Force Organized to Run Down Train
 Robbers

Force Organized to Run Down Train Robbers.
 The Bandit Hunters is the name of new department of the Union Pacific railroad, and it's headquarters are any, where along the line of that railroad in this part of the country where the pro- tectors of the Overland Route" happen to find themselves. A dozen we'll known men of nerve, crack shots able to ride any horse with four legs, inured to hardships of the plains and mountains. well armed and superbly mounted. com prise the new department, and their duties are to protect trains from ban dits and to capture or kill those making attempts to hold up trains on the Union Pacific line.
 Out in the Red Desert" country a, number of trin robberies have occurred in times past, and it is in this section that the 'Hunter pass the major part of their time. The Red Desert Is a vast tract of land, something like one hum dred miles square, and instead of being desert" is one Of the best cattle and sheep sections in the west The soil
 
 There is very little water within the confines of the desert and few ranchers are to be found there. It is a favorite rendezvous of cattle thieves and is within easy distance of Robbers Roost," Hole int the Wall" "Jackson's Hole" and other abodes of reckless and hardened criminals.
 To patrol this menace to their trains the Union Pacific has got together it's band of fighters, and often fram the car windows may be seen two or three of the rangers, speeding their thorough bred horses over the level prairies, keeping their mounts in condition for the time when they may be wanted for serious business.
 During the past week these men have been more alert than usual, and rumors say they have discovered that an at- tempt is soon to be made by the toughs of Robbers Roost' to hold up and rob the Overland Limited"
 A unique feature of the Hunters" is their armored train, which is virtually moving arsenal. Several cars are fit- ted up with stalls for the horses and berths for the men. A kitchen we'll supplied with provisions and everything necessary for a trip of two weeks is carried in this train, which is also SUD- piled with telegraph office and oper- ator.
 When the secret service men have reason to fear hold-up at any partic- ular point the strengers, together with their horses, are loaded upon the train.

GOING INTO BATTLE.
Men Seldom Looked Eager When the
 Time Came.

Men Seldom Looked Eager When the Time Came.
 Former Governor Edward Scofie1d and friend who served during the war of the rebellion in the Sixth United States cavalry sat discussing the times when war waged it's wide desolation over the southland"
 T have heard lots of men say they were aching to get into a fight" re- marked the old cavalryman, but did not take any stock in their declara- tions. In fact, sat on my horse when the battle of Antietam was impending, and I saw regiment after. regiment of soldiers march up, throw their knap- sacks down in regimental piles, and go forward to take their places in the line of battle. Almost without exception ev- cry man was just little pale, and as he moved away from the piles of knap- sacks and other belongings which he was obliged to leave behind him, he turned and cast long, lingering look at them.
 Tt was an easy matter to guess the thoughts that were running through his Otldll | lCNSE SGS d6dlHs You who have never been a soldier cannot fathom the full meaning of that expression. In those knapsacks piled up on the borders of the battlefield were the pictures of the members of the home circle-the wife, the mother, the father, brothers, and sisters, and sweet heart-the connecting link between the soldier going forward with his life in his hands to fight the battle of his country and the home that he might never see again.
 T never saw but one man in all my career as soldier that thought en- joyed going into afight. That man was General Custer. He saved General Sheridan twice while we were on that famous raid, when we went within twelve miles of Richmond. The rebels had us surrounded, and General Cus- ter obtained permission of Sheridan to charge through the rebel lines. I shall never forget the look of pleasure that lighted up his countenance when he received his orders. He made the charge, captured rebel brigadier and battery of guns, and made gap in the rebel lines through which we rode in triumph.
 f'We found ourselves again surrounded a few miles further on, and General Custer once more approached General Sheridan. l was within twenty feet of him.
 " May I charge them again?" in quired General Custer as he came up with salute.
 " No, d-n you; when I want you to. charge I will give you orders.' was Sheridans reply. and it was the only time I ever heard him swear.
 ''It was not long, however. until Gen eral Custer received the orders he had been anxiously awaiting, and he went after the rebels again, fighting them in mud that almost mired his horses, but he cut his way through and again sav- ed General Sheridan's force He was the bravest man I ever knew.'
 There are other men equally as brave of whom we never hear" said General Scofield. ''Those men who made that charge with General Custer, for example"
 '"That is true,'' replied the other, ''but Custer rode way out in front of the line, with his sword in the air, and I do not see how 1t was that he es- capped being shot. "--Milwaukee Senti- nei.

AMERICAN CONSUL IN TROUBLE
Fined Im Russian Court for DIsor der.
 " Conduct.

Solingen, Rhenish Prussia, May l. United States Consul Landger was fined $7.5O to-day by the judge of local court for disorderly conduct in the court room, where he was present as a witness. Mir Landger protested that he was a United States official and could not be fined in that manner; thereupon the judge sentenced him to one days arrest for continued disorder ly behavior.
 It seems that MT. Landger was invit- ed to appear before a minor court as a witness against Herr pittmann, editor of socialist newspaper called the Ar beiterstim who published the fol- lowing paragraph in his paper: "Mr. Landger has exhibited in his show win dow broken chair with the inscription, Such goods can be bought at -" (naming local firm). This firm an- swered by exhibiting in it's window some of MT. Landger's notes with the inscription, For sale cheap!"
 During the hearing of the case to-day against Herr Dittmann the presiding judge questioned Mir. Landger with the view of clearing up the matter between him and the chair dealer. MT. Landger answered excitedly: Whats the mean ing of this? You are questioning me here about my private affairs; I am not t he accused.''
 In this remark the court saw gross misdemeanor and fined the American consul s7.5O. After several evasive an- swers MT. Landger refused to give any further testimony, whereupon the court sentenced him to one days arrest. MT. Landger protested against this, assert ing that as an American citizen he could not be sentenced by a German court. Before steps were taken to ar rest Mir Landger he left the court room and went to Elberfield to see the presi- dent of the district court, who at once notified the Solingen court not to molest the consul further and to order an in vestigation. Subsequently the Solingerl judge suspended the sentence, but did not cancel it.

HOW CAPTAIN DREYFUs LIVES.
He is Taking it Easy and is Living

He is Taking it Easy and is Living
 Quietly in the Suburbs of Paris
 It is not generally known that Cap- tain Alfred Dreyfus is living a quiet and retired life in a cosey little subur- ban house in Paris. Every day he may be seen on the streets of paris, in the Louvre and the great libraries, yet no one recognizes him because they do not know him. Curieusly enough, he wears no disguise, He has. frequently brush ed elbows with his greatest enemies. Not many days ago, for instance, an officer who gave evidence against him at the famous Rennes trial begged his pardon when stepping out of a tramcar, unconscious of the personality he was addressing.
 These facts were told to the writer by gentleman, great personal friend of the much condemned man, who

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 9.-Two
passenger trains on the, st. Louis di-
vision of the Big Four collided tonight
four miles west of Moro, Ill. They
met head-on. Both engines are lying
on their sides. Two or more men
were injured, one fatally.
The trains were the second section

AGAINST NEGRO
0FFICEHOLD DERS
White Mems Crusade Spreads
in Mississippi President
Is Warned.

Special to The Globe.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. s-The
crusade against negro federal Office
holders is spreading in Mississippi.
White people have served notice on the
postmaster at Jackson, Mss. that the
employment of negro carriers on star
mail routes must be discontinued at
once. The notice served on the jack
son postmaster was followed today by
similar warning being given to the
authorities in Lincoln county, Missis-
sippi. 1t appears that the postal Off
Gals have employed negro to deliver
the mail on a rural route in Lincoln
county and the white people have not
only informed the inspector that the
negro will not be permitted to perform
the service, but that if the inspector
takes sides with the negro as he did at
1ndianola he will be treated to dose
of tar and feathers.
The Evening States warns President
Roosevelt that his course in the matter
of negro federal oficeholders will lead
to bloodshed.
