Holland.

There exists in Holland useful So
ciety. which under the name of
"Achawa." forms union of teachers of
Hebrew and Jewish religion. The OBJ
ject of the Union is not only to promote
the study of these subjects, but also to
safeguard the interests of its members.
The teachers find it a great hardship
that they should be called upon to rem
der military service, and it was reported
at the meeting that all attempts to Sc
cure for them exemption from these du
ties have so far been fruitless.

Paris.

So far as can be gathered, the ques
ton of Major Dreyfus' S promotion to
the rank of Lieutenant-C Colonel remains
in abeyance. and will not be settled one
way or the other until Parliament re-
assemblies in October. He is now under
stood to have written to the Minister OF
War, not to tender his resignation abso
lutely but to inform him of his determ-
ination to leave the army if he is not
promoted. According to the Petit Mar
seillais, which has already published
some interesting and apparently fairly
correct information on the subject, Gen
eral Picquart is as firm as ever in de-.
clining to help Major Dreyfus by taking
the initiative in submitting a PROPOSE
ton to the Chamber of Deputies for his
promotion, so several private members
of the Lower House are expected to come
forward instead. They WILL however,
have to depend entirely on their own re-
sources and on those of their political
friends, as the Petit Marseilais says that
the Government is resolved to hold en-
tirely aloof. General Picquart is repre-
sented as having replied to question on
this delicate matter that he would
neither oppose nor support an applica-
ton. But it appears extremely probable
that when the new session opens the po-
litical friends of Major Dreyfus will
embark on an active campaign with a
view to securing majority in favor of
his advancement at the Chamber Of Dep

TRAMP FAST MAKES
 TROTTING RECORD
DEFEATS DOROTHY AxWORTHY AND THISTLE DOWN IN SPEC TABULAR KENTUCKY FUTUR- fTY-GOOD CARD TODAY.

Lexington, Ky. October 10-Tramp Fast, 2-year-old roan colt by The Tramp, is now champion 2-year-old trot- ter of the world. He won the 2-year-old Kentucky futurity here today in 2:12h, which is the fastest mile ever trotted in a race by a 2-year-old but it required one of the greatest struggles ever witnessed on the trotting turf to win.
 An eye lash in the first heat and q short head in the second heat gained the most stirring victory of light harness horse history. Dorothy Axworthy, so lame she could hardly hobble along, is the heroine of the race, for she forced Tramp Fast to break the worlds record to beat her Thistle Down is not dsgraced for the nose that separated him and Tramp Fast at the finish of the second heat proved that. except his conqueror, he is the greatest colt in the world.
 The Leading Lady, favorite, was not in condition for the race and broke badly in both heats.

Montgomery, October 10.-(Special)-In 1903 team of ball players from Annis- ton came to Montgomery. In the out field was the fastest youngster ever seen in amateur ball. He damned the ball every time it came in a mile of him and ran bases like there was not limit to the steal. Watch that youngster,' said the wise ones. That youngster was Ty Cobb of the victorious Detrots. His career in the South Atlantic and promotion up the line are facts of history.
