Receives Cross OF Chevalter OF the
Legion of Honor.
Paris, July 23.-In the presence Of q
distinguished military assemblage Ma
jor Alfred Dreyfus, wearing the full
uniform Of his rank, received the cross
of chevalier of the Legion of Honor.
The ceremony, which occurred in the
courtyard of. the military school, was
rendered doubly impressive by being
held on the very spot where the but
tons and gold lace were stripped Off
his uniform and his sword broken
twelve years ago. The courtyard,
from which the public was vigorously
excluded, as the ceremony was purely
official, was encircled by two batteries
of the Thirteenth artillery, command
ed by Colonel large, who made the
recent discoveries at the war office
leading to the srehearing of the case
against Dreyfus and his acquittal
General Gillian, accompanied by a
number Of army officials, entered the
circle with trumpets and drums sound

tfon to Major Dreyfus' breast and
felicitated him on his we'll earned

The Deer's Tracks.

A deer if walking always places it's
feet firmly closed upon the ground, and
consequently the track Is sharply
drawn-that Is, the hoof is not spreat;
to any appreciable extent. Excep.
tions are sometimes the track of deer
that are heavy with fawns, during
spring and early summer, and those of
old bucks during the rutting season.
But even then the heels of their tracks
are considerably closer than In tracks
made by hog or a sheep. The hoofs
OF the latter two animals are always
rounder ut the toe than those OF deer,
making the tracks they leave easily dis.
tinguishable, and II the difference Is
not discernible In frozen snow the
fact that the trail made by hogs or
sheep does not register should settle all
doubts for the tracker. A deer IL not
wounded will always step with its
hind foot in the track made by the
front foot Field and Stream.

SETTLE CASE WITHOUT TRIAL
FRIENDS OF STANFORD WHITE
ASSISTING MOTHER OF
HARRY THAW.

New York. July 23.-Following the
report that Harry X. Thaw had been
reported insane by alienists employed
to make preliminary examinations by
w. M. K. OlcOtt it Is asserted that,
although without direct cooperation,
friends of Stanford White are on the
side of the mother of the prisoner in
an effort to settle the case without
the necessity of trial.
Still far apart are the divergent In.
terests in the case. Thaw. his wife
and Mr.. Hartridge, his personal coun-
sci, are all for a trial where either
justification On the plea of the "un-
written law or emotional insanity"
is to be the defense. The district at
torney believes the ends of justice
would best be served by trial.
Mrs. William Thaw and the firm of
Black. Olcott, Gruber & Bonynge,
which she still retains, although their
engagement is not recognized by her
son, are against a trial Mrs. Thaw
has set to herself the task of bringing
her son to her way of thinking in the
matter of retaining the Olcott firm and
accepting the advice regarding the
plea of insanity. Should other re-.
sources fail it is said that the mother
would apply to the courts for an ap-
pOintment as her sons legal guardian
on the ground that he was mentally
unable to take care of himself. She
would thus become committee of his
person and estate and have the right
to take any steps she might deem to
his advantage.

Early Decision in Hartje Divorce Case
Not Likely.
.Plttsburg, July 23.-A decision in
the Hartje divorce case will probably
not be handed down before autumn.
1t Is learned that when the plaintiff
closes his rebuttal, which is expected
to be Thursday next, some of the at
torneys in the case will ask for an
adjournment until the September
term of court, when the arguments
will be heard. z,+
A report is current that two new
conspiracy charges in connection with
recent developments in the case are
to be entered at once, but Assistant
District Attorney John S. Robb re.
fused to verify it. All he would saw
!. was that nothing would be done until
the close of the divorce trial
The conspiracy charge against Au,
gustus Hartje, his friend, John l..
Welshons, and Clifford Hooe, the ne.
gro coachman, will be called before
Alderman King Wednesday afternoon
next. If the divorce case is still on
at that time an adjournment may be
asked for.

cuatemaIan Troops Said to Have
Killed All Prisoners.
San Salvador, July 23.-The Saliva
dorean newspapers Indignantly accuse
the Guatemalan troops of having
killed the Salvadorean prisoners as
soon as they were captured. They
say that General .Cristales, when the
armistice was signed, returned to the
Guatemalan army all the imprisoned
officers and soldiers of Guatemala, but
the papers assert the Guatemalans
were unable to take corresponding
step because all the prisoners they
had captured had been shot.
The newspapers of this republic call
the attention of the civilized world to
this action on the part of Guatemala,
claiming that The Hague convention
Of 1899. referring to war on land, es.
tablished that prisoners remain in the
hands of the government of the en-

and June ia warrant for the
full amount of the insurance was
sent to L. w, Vasaly, recorde,
of the Little Falls lodge.
Had Mr.. Vasaly sent the war
rant to the recorder of the Be

widow, as is customary, all the
trouble would have been averted
But he preferred to deal directly
with the beneficiary himself.
May % Mrs. Anderson, the

urging that he hurry the m oney
if possible, and the recorder
ans wered that shecould have the
warrant when she had produced
the certificate, which had been
issued to her husband when he
took out the insurance.
1t was this letter that was de-

Anderson. Presumably seeing
a chance to make an easy $1,000,
she took the letter to an attorney
G. w. Scrutchin Of this city, and
told him that she had the m ,ney
coming but that she had lost her
certificate. Having no reason to
doubt the woman's honesty, Mr..
Scrutchin consented to act as her
attorney. and wrote a letter for
her to the Little Falls recorder,
explaining that she had lost her
certificate. - .
The answer came back that the
woman must make an affidavit to
that effect, and Mr.. Scrutchin,
as notary public, took her ac-
knowledgment. The affidavit
did not satisfy the head officers
