    DREYFUS CASE AGAIN.
REMAKABLE FRENCH MILITARY
TRIAL TO BE REOPENED.
Expected That the Third Hearing
Will Result in Clearing the Offi
cer of Charges of Selling
Army Secrets.
Facts urknown at the last military
trial of Capt. Albert Dreyfus have been
brought to the attention of the su
preme court of appeals of France and
caused that tribunal to reopen the
case which gained such world-wide
notoriety, and has dragged through
the military courts of France twice al
ready. And thus at last the truth re
garding the famous case may be made
public, and the name of the victim
of the most remarkable military con
spiracy in the annals of history
cleared.
In the summer of 1894, when Gen.
Mercier was minister of war, a mem
ber of the French "Contre-Espionage”
was caught near the German frontier
and released by the minister's order.
Mercier thereby incurred the strong
opposition of the liberal press, and in
order to stop the further cries that he
was in the habit of freeing traitors
be seized upon the opportunity which
presented itself when a bordereau or
list enumerating articles that had
been transmitted to a foreign power
was intercepted and brought to him.
The character of the contents showed
that the writer was a treasonable
member of the French general staff.
Mercier called to his aid one Du
Paty de Clam and ordered him to find
the author of the bordereau among
the officers of the various bureaus.
The handwriting of an Alsatian Jew,
Capt. Dreyfus, resembled that in the
bordereau, and after a sensational
trial, in which prejudice and perjury
had almost complete sway, Dreyfus
was convicted and sentenced to death
—a sentence later changed to impris
onment on Devil’s Island for life.
All this occurred in December, 1894,
and January, 1895. In 1898-99 the su
preme court of appeals decided that
Capt. Dreyfus might be sent before
the Rennes court martial and tried
on the charge of having transmitted
to a foreign power certain documents
mentioned which overwhelming evi
dence had shown had been written by
another man, now known as the no
torious Esterhazy.
Again the Rennes court-martial
found Dreyfus guilty of high treason,
but “with extenuating circumstances,”
and later, in spite of many of Drey
fus’ defenders, who wanted to make
his case a national issue, this man,
who had already suffered untold men
tal and physical agonies, accepted the
government pardon offered.
And now after seven years of weary
waiting, the name of Capt. Dreyfus is
to be cleared. Certain new facts have
been presented to the supreme court
of appeal bearing on his case, as fol
lows:
(1) The ‘‘petit bleu” (city tube tele
gram) sent by Col. Panizzardi to Col.
von Schwarzkoppen about the trans
port of troops on the Eastern railway
in the event of mobilization was not
written in 1894, as was believed when
Dreyfus was tried at Rennes, but in
the year following, when he was at
Devil’s Island; (2) At Rennes Dreyfus
was thought to have communicated s
CAPT ALBERT DREYFUS.
note on the different artillery regi
ments to the German government, as
it was supposed to have disappeared
from the bureau where he was work
ing. Now this very note has been
since found at the war office. (3) The
fact that the initial "D” occurred in
another "petit bleu” exchanged be
tween the German and Italian military
attaches was regarded as proot
against Dreyfus. It has since been
ascertained that the original inittal
was scratched out and replaced by the
letter “D.” (4) It has also been found
that several documents in favor of
Dreyfus were not submitted to the
officers who tried him at. Rennes. (5)
Since 1899 a document has been dis
covered which shows that Dreyfus
never made an avowal of guilt. (6)
It is alleged that there is evidence of
one false witness at the Rennes trial.
The supreme court will therefore
officially proclaim ex-CapL Dreyfus to
be innocent, and will restore to him
his civil rights. It will remain for
an assize court to fix the damages.

BIRDS WHICH AID IN DESTRUC

Occasional Instances Where Owls or

That there is individual variation in
c.nimals is becoming much more com
monly recognized than it used to be.
President Roosevelt has called em
phatic notice to this tendency to indi
vidual variation of habit among the
wild things—the big game—that he has
taken most interest in shooting. It is
a variation which seems to be inde
pendent of circumstances, and to be de

termined by the character of the indi
vidual. A little reflection will show
that it is far more reasonable to think
(hat there would be some such varia
tion than that there would not. We all
recognize a difference of disposition in
men and in women; we recognize a
difference in character in our dogs,
horses and other domestic animals.
There is reason to think that in the
natural state these differences would
be apt to be greater rather than less;
yet the writers of books on natural his
tory and on sport, and those who have
received in simple faith what they
have written, have been very prone to
an over-hasty generalization, to argue
from a single instance, or from too
few instances, as to the general habits
of a species, and on this inadequate
evidence to convict or to condemn, as
the case may be, the whole class.
This is a risk that is specially apt to
happen with the animals that have re
cently, and with some difficulty, been
rescued from the black list. The time
has gone by, in the more enlightened
places, when every hawk and every owl
are shot down. That which used to be
the rare exception has become the rule,
and owl and hawk are spared. It Is
excellently well that it should be so.
Not only are these two birds beautiful
and harmless, but both species, gen
erally speaking, are actively useful, do
ing much good to the farmer by eating
insects and small rodents, and some
little good to the game-preserver by
the destruction of immature rats. But
though this is the rule of these species,
and their general habit, there are in
dividual exceptions which are very apt
to lead to a mischievous misjudgment
if it be not clearly understood that
such cases are the exceptional ones.
Now and then an owl, forsaking the
usual harmless and valuable habits of
its kind, will sometimes form a per
sonal habit, all its own. of visiting not
only coops, but also dovecotes, and
preying on any unprotected young
thing which it may find not sufficiently
far grown to protect itself. It is per
haps difficult to say whether a bird
ever breaks a habit so formed, or
whether the habit endures for a sea
son only; but it seems more likely that
such a habit, once formed, would be
come permanent. We may perhaps
even say that there is a reasonable risk
of its being transmitted, by example
and by the taste for a delicacy once
acquired, to the young of a bird thus
individually differing from the type of
its kind. There is virtually no doubt
of the truth of the fact that these birds
do learn to prey in this way on the
young of other birds. The writer is
not able to speak of his personal ex
perience to its truth, but has been in
formed of its truth by those who have
first-hand experience of it, and whose
testimony is not to be doubted.
The great trouble is that the person
who falls in with an exceptional case
of the kind can hardly, by the most
artful persuasion, be convinced that it
is really exceptional, and not the com
mon habit of the species. Perhaps the
best way to convince him would be to
insist upon his making a note of the
contents of the crop of every bird of
the verminous kind which he kills. If
this were done all over the country,
we should very quickly have a great
addition to our knowledge, and we
should find local _ variations of habit
probably much more important than
we suppose.
SURGEON MAKES NEW HEAD,
Cuts Part of Man’s Brain Away and
Patches Up Fractured
Skull.
Paris.—Dr. Beaussenat of Neuilly
las performed a remarkable operation,
with results that seem almost mirac
ulous. A motor car ran into a cyclist,
who was pitched to a distance of 100
feet. The unfortunate man was found
literally planted headforemost in the
sarth. His head had penetrated sev
eral inches into the ground and was
'’rightfully crushed. The bones of the
skull were broken into bits and the
cerebral matter had escaped in sev
eral places.
The man was not dead, but seemed
done for. However, he was put under
surgical care at once and an appar
ently impossible operation was at
tempted. The brain was forced back
into the skull, except the wounded por
tions, which were cut away, and the
multiple fractures of the bone were
set. Now ihe man is perfectly well,
physically and mentally.
The doctor says that the patient's
brain has apparently not in the least
suffered from the strange vicissitudes
through which it passed or from the
loss ot the portions which were cut
away. At first, after his recovery, the
man had a few lapses of memory, and
for a time couid not remember his
name. Now his mental powers have
become entirely normal again. Pre
sumably, the diminished brain has
adapted itself to altered circumstances
by a redistribution of labor arnoug the
cells. Anyhow, the cyclist has had
sufficient mental grasp to bring a vig
orous action for damages against the
motorist

(Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.)
Sitting over their coffee in the even
ing, the various members of the coach
ing party were detailing impressions
from the day’s trip.
By common consent the others
paused when Madam la Baronne de
Vaux began to speak. The dainty
Frenchwoman was a favorite with all,
and she was usually sure of listeners
to whatever she chose to say.
“Ah, that little village” she cried,
gaily. “That little village all of wood,
with its wooden church! But in
France it had been all of brick and
stone. Yet it was like—oh, so very
like!—a tiny place quite near our
dhateau. And it was there that some
thing happened once, something droll,
and sweet.”
Madam la Baronne paused e.nd
smiled, and the sweetness in her face
deepened, and the drollness flashed in
her black eyes.
“Tell us, please tell us, madam,” the
others clamored.
"Surely,’’ the baroness replied.
‘There was a dear old boy lived in
the village, and, too, a dear old lady.
He was an old bacnelor, and she was
an old maid. Once, years and years
and years ago, she and ne had been
sweethearts. Somehow they could not,
or would not, marry. He went away
for years, while she remained in the
village always. Then at last he came
back, and they were good friends.
They were too old to marry, or so they
thought. But every evening he called
on her, and they sat and chatted on
the veranda when the season was
right, and at other times they sat in
two great chairs before the little fire
ir the little parlor of her cottage.
“One winter’s night, when the air was
most biting and their old blood chilled
by the frost of it,’ they sat cozily in
the parlor, as always, and the old gen
tleman, I suppose, was very busy to
heap the tiny fire high and to keep the
blaze brisk, so that they sat snugly in
their huge chairs and basked in the
warm glow, and chatted lazily and
drowsily of the past days, when love
was hot in their young hearts.”
Madam la Baronne broke off and
ran her merry eyes over the group
about her.
Have none of you read the tale?”
she questioned. "No? Well, there is
little more. Indeed, I have only to
finish now In the morning, when the
bonne entered the parlor to dust it and
put things straight, she found the dear
old gentleman and the dear old lady
in their great chairs before the dying
fire in the tiny grate, and they were—
sound asleep!”
The baroness smiled, and laughter
ran in the circle around her.
"They were married as quickly as
the law would allow. Otherwise there
must have been a whisper of scandal.
And, oh, I am sure that they lived
happy ever after; yes, even as happy
as before!”
The group chattered merrily over
the narrative and thanked the raeon
teuse with enthusiasm.
"And now let us have some music,”
the baroness suggested, and turned to
a patriotic American. “Of course,
that means you, Mr. Blennen.”
Blennen's dark, thin face lighted
with a pleasant smile, as he nodded
an assent to the general demand, but
before he rose from his chair his eyes
wandered toward a woman at a little
distance from him and there they rest
ec with a suggestion of expectation in
their gaze. Almost instantly tne
woman turned to meet his look, and
she spoke eagerly:
"Oh, please, Mr. Blennen.”
At the words a glow of pleasure
shone from the musician’s face, and he
hastened toward the piano.
The early summer night of the Hud
son valley was soft, languorous, silent,
save for the restful droning of the in
sects. Through the open windows of
the great drawing-room came the lux
urious mingle., perfumes of many blos
soms. It was a night and a company
tor music. For Blennen, though
the inheritor of a princely fortune,
was a master of music.
When he had finished, and the crowd
it enthusiasts at last allowed him to
break from their compliments, he went
to her. ,
She made place beside her, and
gashed a glance of fond pride upon
aim.
It was wonderful, wonderful” she
tried, softly. “Your genius, Vance, is
so true—so splendidly true! Ah, when
1 listened to you, my soul went float
ing in a magic land of harmony. I_”
She broke oif abruptly. Then, with
hardly a second's pause, she continued,
jayly:
“I should never mind my insomnia,
If 1 could lie and .hear you playing.”
“Poor child! you don’t show any sign
if it. You are as fresh and dainty, as
lovely and superb :.s ever—more beau
tiful in my eyes, Grace.”
The woman blushed and dropped her
<aze in confusion at the passion in
ais voice. Her silence emboldened
I'm, and he continued in an eager
ffuisper:
"Tell me, Grace, is not my happiness
coming to me soon—soon?”
But the woman raised her hand ap
pealingly, whilst she avoided the long
*ng eyes:
"Don’t, Vance. No, no, not yet. I am
afraid.”
The emotion in her voice checked
.him from another plea, and the an
guish of despair griped his heart.
Blennen, alone in his room that
night, reviewed the situation. He was
confronted by the vital fact that he
ioved Mrs. Morse with all his soul,
but that the happy issue of this love
was of the utmost uncertainty. For
fate made him the scapegoat of an
other man’s sins.
Mr. Morse had been a suave villain,
of exceptional personal charm when he
so willed, a hypbcrite, a debauchee, a
brute. He had tmated his wife with
exquisite courtesy ip the presence of
others! but, alone with her, he had
outraged her every instinct, had beat
en and bruised her flesh and scourged
her soul. His death had come as a
blessed release from the tortures her
pride had forced her to endure, but it
had left her with a morbid dread of
marriage, a conviction that all. men
were cowardly and cruel, that as her
husband had been, so any other might
be.
To-night, as Blennen reviewed the
words she had spoken to him, he felt
! a swift indignation that she must still
suffer physically, as her insomnia
testified she did.
"No wonder she broods, if she can’t
sleep nights,” he muttered angrily.
"What chance can I have?”
After a long silence, he spoke again,
and now very tenderly:
“If I could only play to her, for her
rest the night through!”
He went to the window and stood
looking out at the glory of the river
and the night. The spirit of the scene
crept to his ear and whispered her
name, and the memory of her and the
desire of her filled his soul.
One day the whole party sailed up
the river, and made a mountaineering
expedition into the Catskills. They did
not return until nightfall; and they
were hungry and weary. After din
ner the company was listless and
drowsy; very early, one after another,
they began to straggle off to bed.
Blennen came to Mrs. Morse.
“I’m not the least bit sleepy,” he
said to her, so low that no one could
overhear. "And I'm not tired. Of
course, you're not sleepy yet; and,
even if you were, I suppose you
wouldn't dare to risk a night’s sleep
lessness by going to bed so early. So
come into the library with me, and I’ll
piay you Chopin for a while. Will
you? Do!”
“It will rest me and soothe me,” she
said. "I am so glad you thought of
it!”
The great drawing-room was almost
deserted as the two passed out into

the hall, and on to the library, which
stood somewhat apart in a wing. This
room was sacred to the master of ths
house; guests rarely intruded unless
by particular invitation. When he hac
established her comfortably, Blenner
turned away without r word and seat
ed himself at the piano.
A few dying notes, then silence. The
shaded light of the electric bulb still
shone softly, but tne moonlight had
long danced from the waves. In its
stead, the mist over the river was
purpling warm with the summer dawn
Blennen moved soft.y to the window
and stood looking down on the woman
She gave no heed to his presence. The
dark lashes swept her cheek, hei
breath rhythmed gently, she was
nestled luxuriously amid the cushions
—the was fast asleep!
Suddenly, she opened her eyes and
stared into his face with the bewilder
ment of a drowsy child.
“Why, good heavens, there must be
a fire,” she exclaimed. “See how ligh*
it is!”
Blennen looked obediently.
“So it is,” he agreed.
“It isn’t light," she cried, “not day
light! It can’t be!”
“I rather suspect it is, though,”’
Blennen said, quietly.
“And do you mean to say that I’ve
been right here In this chair since
eleven o’clock last night? Sound
asleep for hours?” she asked, with
amazement that was almost awe.
“I’m afraid you have been,” Blennen
affirmed, apologetically.
' But the widow was far from indig
nation at this moment.
“Bless me,” she exclaimed, raptur
ously, “it’s a miracle! I—asleep for
hours! I can’t believe it. You are a
magician, Vance.”
Blennen seized his opportunity,
boldly:
“Marry me, and I’ll play you to sleep
any night you wish.’”
Instantly, the woman of the world
awoke to her knowledge of conven
tions. Her eyes dilated a little, and for
a minute there was silence. Then she
turned to him with a face that was
glowing:
“Yes, I will marry you now. Some
how, the fear has passed:’
"Aye, her nerves are the* better for
just these few hours of real sleep.”
Blennen thought; but he had the wis
dom not to speak aloud.
“But suca a scandal!” the widow
whispered as she drew her lips from
Blennen’s.
“Pooh! no one can know! And if
they do—”
"And if they do—they will laugh!”
“Yes, they -vill laugh, as they did at
madame's story.”

“ ‘Try Postum,’ said the doctor, ‘I
drink it and you will like it when it
is made according to directions, with
cream, for it is delicious and has none
of the bad effects coffee has.’
“Well, that was two years ago, and
I am still (Milking Postum. My stom

fainting spells and fits of indigestion. I
was very nervous and would start at the
slightest sound. At times a great weak
ness would come over me and on one oc
casion my limbs gave way under me and
I fell to the sidewalk.
“ Of course I was treated by our local
physicians and also consulted a noted
doctor at Albany, but nothing they gave
me seemed to benefit me. One'day I
read in a newspaper about Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills for Pale People and I imme
diately gave them a trial. I soon felt
much better and my color had begun to
return. I continued using the pills and
by the time I had taken eight boxes I
was entirely cured.
“ My sister, Sarah Van Salisbury, suf
fered terribly from anaemia. She was
pale and thin and we feared that she
would become a victim of consumption.
She tried Dr.Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People and in a short time she be
gan to gain in strength and weight.
She is now strong and well and we lxith
heartily recommend Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills to all who are in ill health.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists or sent, postpaid, on receipt
of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for
$2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Oo.,
