Find English Leaders.

According to dispatch from a Daily
Mail correspondent at Rouen the Ger
mans have been able, with seemingly
uncanny precision, to locate the head
quarters of the British general staff,
no matter where it moves.
Throughout ten days, beginning
when the fighting was about Mons, the
invaders poured shells close to the
meeting point of the kings generals.
1t was the same thing when head
quarters were at Donai and Landre-
cies, whereupon Sir John French with
drew his position to lie Cateau. There
it was the target OF terrific bonn
bardment, which set fire to the town
and burned it. The next move was to
st. Quentin, where again the British
headquarters were mark for the Ger
man fire.

Mankato Fair a Success.

Mankato.-The three days fair of
the Mankato and Blue Earth County
Agricultural association was a great
success from every point of view.
The attendance numbered several
thousand each day. The exhibits
greatly exceeded those of any previ-
Gus fair, except in the swine and fruit
departments. The shortage in the ap-
pie crop was noticeable, and many
breeders did not care to exhibit hogs
for fear of getting cholera into their
herds The display in the main hall
was remarkably good.

many German soldiers were running
across fields, jumping over fences,
crawling through hedges, and making
their way through woods without any
semblance of order or discipline.
These men doubtless belong to reg.
iments which were badly cut up in the
fierce fighting which preceded the gen.
eral retreat. Deprived Of the ma
jority of their officers, they made a
mere rabble of fugitives.'

direction of the Central Pennsylvania
Suffrage Association. The association
is to be congratulated on the work that

suffrage meetings in four days seem a
great deal for Harrisburg, but each one
has met expectations-and more than
realized the hopes of the officers.
Miss Foley has spoken in three in
dustrial plants-the first time such an
experiment has been tried in Harris
burg; she has spoken in The ]. Horace
Mcfarland Printing establishment; in
the Susquehanna Woolen Mills, New
Cumberland, and at the Elliott-Fisher
plant. She also addressed a large au-
dience at the Young Mems Hebrew As

Council Isn't Such
an Able Bill Expert
at That-So There

City Council is about to have its
wrist slapped by letter. The chastise-
ment is due at tomorrow afternoon
meeting via City Clerk Charles A.
Miller.
The letter containing the slap
reached Mr.. Miller to-day from
Thomas L. Elder a Philadelphia col
lector of coins and curios. At the last
session of Council he wrote that he
had a SO note dated 1898 and issued
by the Borough of Harrisburg" In
vestigation showed that the note of
the same date and number had been
Cancelled long since and at Council's s
direction Mr.. Miller wrote Mr.. Elder
that the note was evidently counter
felt. Here's the reply Mr.. Miller got:
Dear Sir: Referring to yours
of the 18th. with a SO bill of the
borough of. Harrisburg dated
1888. 1 don't believe this bill is
counterfeit and you have got un-
limited nerve to stamp it coun-
terfeit. I have handled thousands
of old bank bills and know more
about their genuineness than your
esteemed council do. 1t is q very
handy excuse to put rubber
stamp on any note sent for re-
demption. l have cashed an
other also which was identified
with this one several years ago.
You have manned this bill for
even a curiosity and I think an
apology and some reparation is
due me. I will put my opinion
as a bill expert up against any,
body in your city at any time.
Very truly yours,
THOMAS L. ELDER,

General Picqart, Figure
in Dreyfus Case, Dies
BY Associdtsd Press

Amiens, France. Jan. 19.-General
Marie Georges Picquart, commander
of the Second French Army Corps.
who was one of the most prominent
figures in the Dreyfus case, died here
to-day, aged 60 years.
General Picquart, regarded as one
of the most brilliant officers of the
French army, rose to high rank at a
very early age. He was an Alsatian
by birth. His skill as a linguist, cou-
pied with his ability as soldier, led
to his appointment to the general
staff. 1t was while serving there that
Picquart discovered the forgeries
which had brought about the con-
domination Of Dreyfus to the horrors
of DEVILS Island.
During his retirement Picquart,
aided by Emile lola and others, con-
tinued his work in behalf of the man
who had been unjustly condemned.
They finally secured verdict of .in-
nocent'' from the French Supreme
Court and both Dreyfus and Picquart
were restored to the active list of the
French army.
