Special Dispatch to Daily Alaska1.I
 Paris, July 2l-A celebration was held yesterday at the tomb of Emile Zola in honor of the acquittal of CEP' taiu-now Colonel-Dreyfus. It called out large concourse of people. Zols was a champion of Dreyfus and for his brave stand at a time when it required bravery to speak up for the accused man, he was made to suffer much. The exoneratiou of Dreyfus and the turn of the tide in his favor has caused the people to remember this and hence the outpou- ing to do him honor in the name of Dreyfus. Col. Dreyfus attended the and when recognized was cAeered for several minutes.

Every town in Vermont, at the ap-
preaching March meeting, should in
struct its selectmen to post such roads
against the use of automobiles, as are
especially dangerous, when so used.
There are such highways in all parts
of our State; but this is especially true
of our mountain towns, at many points
of which, it would be almost impossible
for team to pass an automobile with
safety.
We would particularly mention, in
this locality, the highways which enter
Ripton and Goshen from either side of
the mountain, and the main road from
Middlebury to East Middlebury which
because of the turnpiking is equally
liable to the most serious accidents.
if automobiles are allowed to use it.
This is not only desirable for the safety
of our citizens from serious accidents,
but also as precautionary step to
protect the towns against possibly very
large damages.

Aid the Carrier.

Our Nergennes contemporary hits the
nail squarely on the proper spot when it
says:
Did it ever occur to you that the posi-
ton of rural mail carrier is not the cas-
lest job in the world especially after a
big snow fall such as occurred last Fri
day:
The condition of affairs could be ma
terially helped if the patrons of the
rural routes would take the following
advise issued by one of Uncle Sans
assistants:
The department looks TO the patrons
of the free delivery service, who are
receiving the benefits of the service, to
use their utmost personal endeavors and
also to exert thier influence with the
road supervisors or with those officials
who are responsible for the highways to
the end that the road travelled bv the
rural carriers may be always kept open
and In such passable shape that the ser
wee can be regularly and punctually
performed.
Should the regularity of the service be
needlessly destroyed as the result of in
attention and lack of care bestowed on
the highways the permanent withdrawal
Of the delivery will likely result.
Rural letter carriers are requested to
serve their routes at all seasons of the
year and in every kind of weather when
it can be done without seriously imperil-
ing their lives or endangering their con-
veyances Of the United States mail.
which is their custody
Patrons should clean away the snow
drifts so that carriers can drive up 10
and reach boxes from their vehicles
without dismounting.
1t is not part of the carriers duty to
break out the roads after a severe snow

ments of a majority of those engaged
in agricultural pursuits in all sections of
the country. They feel that not only
are their rights ignored by the automo-
bilists, but also that their property and
the lives of themselves and families are
endangered.
These country people have clearly-de-
fined ideas of justice. They are peace
able and law-abiding class of people and
slow to act, but they have the sam e
spirit that inspired the patriots of rs,
and if aroused will fight as stubbornly
for their rights as did the Revolutionary
soldiers for freedom. They contribute
more literally than any other class to
the building and keeping in repair of
the public highways, and it is not sur
prising that their Indignation is aroused
to high pitch by the utter disregard
of their rights often shown by many
of those who ride in automobiles.
The majority of those who own auto

of automobiles can afford the expense
of building roads for the exclusive use
of their machines through all the States
in the Union where farming is carried
on. They should be compelled to do
this so as not to jeopardize the lives
of country people by running them down
on the public highways or frightening
their horses so as to cause them to
overturn carriages and kill the occupants
or run away, jump stone walls and
smash the carriages as well as ruin the
animals themselves.
The lot of farmers and their families is
hard enough without subjecting them to
such dangers as attend the use of auto
mobiles on the country roads. The Leg
islature of the different States cannot do
less than to pass laws which shall min
imize if not wholly prevent the dam

Dam of Lord Clinton (2.O6 80.
(From American Horse Breeder, Jan.3O, 1867
Editor American Horse Breeder:
The dam of the great trotter Lord
Clinton t2.0Ss) is given in the American
Trotting Register as unknown. 1t will
probably be remembered that Lord Gin
ton at one time held the worlds record
for trotting geldings. He once beat Alix
(2.O34) in a very closely contested race.
He also won one heat and a part of the
purse in the memorable three days race
for the Columbian Exposition stake, at
Chicago, September IA, 10 and l6, 1898,
in which new champion worlds trot-
ting record of 207s was made with Lord
Clinton close up and separately timed in
2.0S.
Attracted by the great success of Lord
Clinton and passing through Tennessee
while he was owned at Memphis, went
to see him and afterwards while in Ala
bama l saw his sire and dam. and being
much pleased with his sire, Denning
Allen, purchased him together with the
dam of Lord Clinton and brought them
to Vermont.
The mare was then. quite old; but we
were fortunate enough to get from her
stallion colt, which we named General
Gates, after our general who won the
great victory at Saratoga, whilst Lord
General Gates has never received any
training but is a horse of elegant appear
ance and fine trOtting action, and to a
remarkable degree has the quality of inn
pressing his own characteristics upon his
offspring
After my purchase of Denning Allen
and the dam of Lord Clinton, saw the
parties who brought the dam to Ala
bama and from whom she passed to j. f.
Disco, Little Rock, Ark, breeder of Lord
Clinton.G | learned that this mare was
bred by E. w. Hughes of Todd, Ky.
| then went to Todd KY, where saw
a son and the wife of Mr.. Hughes, who
toldime that the mare was bred by Mr.
Hughes and foaled about 1872: and was
gOtsby bay thoroughbred horse called
Revenue or Revenue Jr.. that was bought
at Powhatan Court House Va, for $4,000,
by Mr.. Brown, was brought to Ken
lucky and kept in Logan County two
seasons, and later sold to parties at Nash
vile, Tenn; that her dam was brown,
about lot hands, of heavy build, fine
PAGER and saddle mare, bought, when
about four, by f. w. Hughes from
George Nick Moore, Allensville, KY,
and said to be of Copperbottom blood
second dam by Stump the Dealer.
Lately, since finding out that the colts
of General Gates are exceedingly promis- |
ing both for looks and trotting action,
have made fucther efforts to trace his
dams pedigree, and have learned that
the Revenue stallion referred TO was a
son of the celebrated race horse Revenue.

The Deadly Auto m bile.

The automobile is a terror to country
farmers who keep a horse or two for
farm work, and general purpose use.
During the busy season, farmers who
live several miles from the village store.
sometimes feel compelled to economic
their time and send their wives. daugh-
tiers or half.grown boy to the stores for
necessary supplies, with horse that is
perfectly kind and safe under ordinary
circumstances.
Let an automobile come toward or mass
such an outfit and in the majority of
cases the horse that has been raised in
the country will become insane and I'M
governable from fear. The animal ia
liable to turn short, upset the carriage.
and dash wildly down the road or bolt
over stone wall or into a ditch, and in
either case jeopardize the lives of the
occupants of the carriage. A distressing
case of this kind occurred on the 4th
inst, in the edge of the woods about a
mile above Strong Village in Maine.
John w. Richards of Freeman. Me.
accompanied by his wife and one of his
sons, was driving to Strong, to attend
grange picnic. Mr. Stanley of Newton,
Mass, with an automobile had stopped
by watering tut to replenish the water
tank of his machine. Mr.. Richards
horse was SO badly frightened by the
automobile that he sprang to one side of
the road into ditch, throwing Mr..
Richards and his son from the carriage.
MIR. Richards head struck stone and
fractured his skull The boy was thrown
into one of the wheels of the carriage.
The horse dashed off at full speed.
but was quickly caught by a man who
was driving team ahead of the fright
ened animal. The boy was carried
around the wheel twice before becoming
untangled, and was severely bruised.
though no bones were broken. Mr..
Richards was taken at once to the house
of the nearest physician and other
physicians in an adjoining town were
summoned hut he died few hours after
sNN "NS'NOht Ni'hOul recovering con-
seriousness. He leaves wife and eight
children
1t seems cruel that the hard-work-
ing farmers who pay for building the
public roads cannot enjoy the privilege
OF driving over them except at the risk
of their own lives and that of their
families. The use of the death.dealinq
machines in sparsely settled farming
districts should be prohibited or restrict.
ed by law. No man should be allowed
to run an automobile upon the public
highway in such localities without first
giving heavy bond, with good securi-
ties, to cover all damages to property
and life that may be occasioned either
directly or indirectly by his machine.
The poor man who earns his bread
and supports his family by the sweat
of his brow, has rights that should not
only be respected but should be pro-
tected by law. There is not one horse
in one hundred that is raised ON
country farm which is not crazed with
fear at the first sight of an automobile
on country road. The country farmer
is not able to bear the expense of send
ing his horse away to become accus-
toned to the sight and scent of these
stlhkihg machines. EDITOR.
