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. FARMER S FRIENDS. BIRDS WHICH AID IN DESTRUC TION OF VERMIN. Occasional Instances Where Owls or Hawks Gain Appetite for Barn Yard Fowls Should Not Con demn the Species. 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 p 1 THE OWL NO EVIL DOER. 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 Motes and Beams.

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.

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 0 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

TRADE AND TRAFFIC. The trade of Chili is almost entire ly in the hands of Europeans. France imported $300,000 worth of apples from Canada last summer and fall. In 1904 Denmark sent to England over 85,000 tons of butter, valued at $45,000,000. It Is thtimated that 1,000,000 tons of Bteel rails for 1907 delivery are under negotiation, and that fully half that tonnage has already been placed. It is said that the hides of American live cattle sent to England to be killed and eaten are by prearrangement all sent back across the Atlantic, there to be tanned, and, mayhap, reshipped to England as leather or in boots and shoes. Shipments of anthracite coal during May amounted to 3,254,320 tons, against 6,005,158 tons in May last year. For the year, to date, the shipments aggre gate 19,709,783 tons, contrasted with 24,872,954 tons in the corresponding period last year. PASSING PERSONALS.

CLEVER DOCTOR. Cured a 20 Years’ Trouble Without Any Medicine. A wise Indiana physician cured 20 years’ stomach disease without any medicine as his patient tells: “I had stomach trouble for 20 years, tried allopathic medicines, patent medicines and all the simple remedies suggested by my friends, but grew worse all the time. “Finally a doctor who is the most prominent physician in this part of the state told me medicine would do me no good, only irritating my stom ach and making it worse—that I must look to diet and quit drinking coffee. “I cried out in alarm, ‘Quit drink ing coffee!’ why, ‘What will I drink?’ “ ‘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 ach is right again and I know doctor hit the nail on the head when he de cided coffee was the cause of all my trouble. I only wish I had quit it years ago and drank Postum in its place.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Never too late to mend. Ten days trial of Postum in place of coffee works wonders.

For nearly a generation the people of this country have known Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, during which time proof of thousands of cures by this remedy has been published and confirmed and not one person has been harmed in the slight est degree by their use. The pills con tain no opiate, narcotic or stimulant, nor any drug which could injure the most delicate constitution. ‘‘For over a year,” says Miss Charlotte Van Salisbury, of Cnstleton, H.Y., "I suffered from neuralgia and palpitation of the heart. My skin was pale and sal low and I was troubled with dizziness, 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., Schenectady, N.Y.
