WHEN TIE BRIGHT LEAVES FALL.

I love the tine when the bright leaves fall,
When the children sit on the Old stone wall
Cracking and eating the sweet new nuts,
And throwing the shells in the rosdslGc rUts.
The autumn days are the days for me.
They may be short, but they're full of s!cc;
And short days bring us the evenings long
For reading and study, or mirtA and song.
Delightful gifts have the autumn hours
The brilliant vines, and the Snowy flowers,
The moOnbeanlS witclins, the nOOntiLeS kind
The woodland treasures that runlDlurS find.
Something for cleaners in every field!
And see what the vineyards and orchards yield!
The season whose charms shall my praise employ
Is the season that brings US the harvest joy.

French Court Annuls His Condemna-

WILL BE RESTORED TO RANK

Paris, July 13.-Alfred Dreyfus was
completely acquitted of the charges
on which he was condemned as trail

prisoned on Devils Island, and regard
ing which France has been torn II
years by the most bitter political and
racial agitation. His Vindication is
twofold. the supreme court first an
nouncing it's decision establishing the
entire innocence OF the accused man,
and the ministry later deciding to pre-
sent an urgent bill in parliament re-
storing Dreyfus to the army with ad-
vaneed rank and otherwise giving the
governments most ample reparation
The decision of the court WAS a
foregone conclusion, as exhaustive in
quiries had completely demolished the
faBric of the accusation against Drey-
fils, showing that the real eulprit was
Major Count Esterhazy. The decision
therefore annulled the condemnation
of the Rennes court martial and or
dered that the acquittal be posted and
published throughout France.
The decision of the court held that
Is all the accusations against the ac-
eused fell 10 the ground there is no |
necessity for a new trial, and conse-
quently the judgment in condemnation
IS annulled as unwarranted by the evil
dence
The ministers held protracted spe-
ciaI session at the Elysee Palace un-
der President Fallieres, and deter
mined on the governments course in
carrying out the decision. The text Of
two bills was formulated, which will
be introduced in the chamber of dep
utdes, coneerRing respectively Dreyfus
and Colonel Picquart, with the object
OF restoring both to the ranks they
would have held If they had continu-
ously served in the army Dreyfus
