THEN. ...... and......NOW

Fifteen years ago today Captain Alfred DEeyfus was convicted by court martial for the second time on the charge of selling French military se- crets to foreign powers. It was one of the most sensational trials of the age, during which it is alleged the peace of Europe was threatened through the 'Dreyfus Affair." The verdict brought vigorus protests from the en- tire civilized world, which was con- vinced of his innocence Arrested five years before, he had been convicted by his superior officers at a court martial, degraded before army com rades, transported to Devils Island to exp1ate the alleged crime, and had been, through the efforts of infIuen- t1a1 friends brought back to France for a re-trial. The eyes of the world was turned on the court at Rennes, where the Semsiic army officer the first Hebrew ever to have entered the Staff of the French army, was battling for his honor. Four hundred journal istss from the four corners of the earth, rubbed elbows with society women some of whom had paid as much as $4O0 for a seat. Sensation followed sensation during the trial; but none was more startling than that given by General Mercier, the former minister of war. He averred that dur ing the Dreyfus Affair, the German Ambassador at Paris had delivered an imperative demand that certain paper alleged to have been stolen from the German Embassy, be returned to Ger many. <t
 From eight o'clock'', said the Gen eral while the audience hung breath less on his revelation of a. crisis in the destiny of France, until after. mid night the President of the Republic the Prime Minister, and I waited to know whether war. or peace would be the outcome of the neg citations We were within a, hairs breath of war"

Today Dreyfus is not only a. free man, but he has been restored to the French Army with great public cere mo41y. A captain when he was degrad- ed, he is now a, major in crack a,r- ttlIery regiment that is usually detail ed to all state functions Suffering the greatest of humiliations for @. soldier for twelve years, he today is fully cleared by official proclamation of the charges of treason, and has been hon ored with the distinction of a Com rnander of the Legion of Honor. His champions during his time of trouble have likewise been honored. Zo1a, the great French author. who suffered i'm priSonment for his fiery defense of Dreyfus, is now dead. but the republic honored his memory by placing his body in the Pantheon, the burial place of all the great soldiers of France. PicQuart, a lbrother officer, then with the rank of Colonel, who was cashier ed from the army for defending Drey- fus was restored with all honors and promoted to the rank of brigadier-gen eral. Dreyfus' enemies have been com founded. Colonel Henry, formerly con nected with the War Office, is dead by his own hand, after having con- fessed to forging Dreyfus name to a document that helped to send him to Devils Island.
 MajorEsterhazy had publicly con fessed through theLondon Chronicle that he wrote the 'bordergu the fa,- nous document which more than any thing else brought about the convic- tion for treason against Dreyfus. Els terhazy is now an exile of France, though not subject to official punish rnent, through recent amnesty law which pardons all offenders against the state up to the year 1911. Today the war with Germany has come about but not through the nnachina,tions of icS fighting for France on the firing line and was recently promoted for gal lantry in battle to the rank of serge ant.

OYSTER CROP IS
 REPORTED POOR
Some Hopeful Conditions Buoy
 Up Local Fishers Hopes.

Oyster sets in the, vicinity of Bridge port are very poor, according to local oyster dealers. At the offices of the Connecticut Oysters Farms Co.,, for merly the Sealshipt Oyster Co.,, one of the largest shippers in the conu- try, it was stated that the oyster sets near Bridgeport are below normal
 It was declared that while the sets are very late and much smaller than usual a warm extended summer would give the oysters sufficient start to keep this vicinity supplied during the win ter. An early winter with storms of any severity would result in the kill ing off of a goodly portion of the crop. LA report that. the oysters are still spawning was regarded as doubtful by them.
 The opening of the natural growth beds will take place on September 20. Local fishermen are making prepara- tions for invading the sets in the sec tions near Bridgeport, Southport and Roton, and believe that theys will meet with success, even should the sets be slightly below normal.

LET US Be OURSELVES

Many of us are mere parrots who
croak the sayings and opinions of
others without once coming to a de-
finite conclusion with our own jndg-
ment. fearing always lest we should
eventually be on the wrong side. 1t
would be far better however to think
! for ourselves and be forced to change
our opinions time and time again,
than to be forever taking our
decisions at second hand; for in time
our mental faculties would become
whetted and we should develop the
incis,ve faculty of distinguishing the
true from the false.
A vast deal must be taken at
second hand; men have not the time
and opportunity to investigate every
thing at first hand; if they tried to
do SO they would do little else. But
in taking information one need not
always consider that it is absolutely
correct, for others, too, are likely
to make errors. A man can take
wha; he gets at second hand, go over
it and form an opinion for himself
and be benefited by it.
Years ago it was Emerson who
told us that a foolish consistency is
the hobgoblin of little minds .adored
by little statesmen, and the statement
will hold good for many a day. The
world demands that men be consist
ent and Taught at and condemns
them when they are not. If one is
insincerely inconsistent, let him be
condemned, for he is an enemy to
society; but h+ that changes opinions
and actions because of better mental
and moral light is friend to society
in setting an example of sincere in
vestigation and thinking. There is
but one true course of consistency
and that is the pursuit of truth.
Such changes with sincere minds
may always be expected. for truth is
only absolute in the abstract. What
is truth and good for one man or
nation may under different surround
ings, such as climate, government,
ETC., not be truth and good for anoth-
er, and conditions are constantly
changing. In politics, everyone has
a place large enough and worthy
enough to demand that he be allow
ed to be himself, think and act for
himself, and throw his own person
ality into what he does.
A writer in the Christian World
urges the necessity for giving full
play to personality and says: The
vices of our educational system are
seen in the large proportion OF men
and women who have no intellectual
interests whatever, who read moth
ing but the cheap newspapers. who
take all their opinions from what
they are told, and are the easy dupes
of every plausible cuckoo cry. We
want to train men and women to
think for themselves, to take an in
telligent interest in literature, in
politics. and in religion, and to see in
their work more than the means of
winning their daily bread" F" Pom
tiac Pioneer.

His face grew wrinkled his hair turned gray.
His form grew crooked and wthered away:
