Gen. de Negricr'a Removal Meant as a Warninjr to the Militasy. The removal of Gen. de Negrier from the French council of war is the most 'important move yflt taken by the new Government in the cause of discipline. It may be regarded as the supreme test of the Government's strength. The na tionalist papers are wild with rage over the latest "affront" to the army , which they say has been beheaded. Many , per sons even who are supporting the new ministry think that this was a step of doubtful wisdom , as likely to goad the militarj' to desperation. Gen. de Xegrier was at no time mixed up in the Dreyfus affair. He has distin guished himself for bravery and skill as n soldier and general , and was on the road to succeed to the position of gener alissimo of the forces. His disgrace is meant as a warning to the militarj' not to organize conspiracies against the re public. This was , in a way , De Negrier's offense. The Government learned of his meth ods through an address made by Col. Bertrand to his ofQcers at Auxonne shortly after the departure of Gen. de Xegrier from a visit of inspection to the garrison there Col. Bertrand said : "Gentlemen , owing to the attacks upon the army , the generals of the council of war have determined upon the day after the conclusion of the Dreyfus trial to wait upon the Government and demand that these attacks cease. If they do not , the generals will act. " Col. Bertrand was summoned by the war office to explain these words , and he said that he made the address in accord ance with De Xegrier's order. The war council subsequently told the Govern ment they did not share the sentiment expressed. WARSHIPS SAIL TO HAYTI. They Will Protect American Interests in San Iomin ro. I Secretary Long Friday issued orders detaching the cruiser Xew Orleans from the Xorth Atlantic squadron at Newport and directing her to proceed a't once to Santo Domingo city. Orders were issued also to the Machais at St. Thomas , to proceed to the same point via San Juan. These orders -were made at the instance of , the State Department and xas a pre cautionary measure owing to the 'disturb ed conditions following the assassination of President Heureaux of San Domingo. The trouble between the Government of San Domingo and its creditors has reached an' acute stage. The'creditors , who are almost entirely Americans , have begun to clamor for an American protec torate , which would necessarily be the first step in the direction of annexation. Political plots are already shaping them selves. The adherents of Gen. Jiminez seek to put him at the head of affairs , while the friends of Gen. Maximo Go mez are talking of making him the ruler of the republic. It is said by oilicers who have recently been in San Domingo that interference by this Government would be welcomed by a large proportion of the inhabitants of the island. HERE'S AN ARP/IY HOBO.

AERONAUT'S DROP TO DEATH. One Killed at Strcator and Another Drove-na at Hillsdale. Aeronaut Thayer of Niles , Mich. , while making a parachute trip at Streator , 111. , fell 200 feet and was instantly killed. The balloon ascension was one of the spe cial features of the annual picnic of the Modern Woodmen. The balloon rose rap idly and moved to the southeast about half a mile before Thayer cut loose. AVhon he did so the balloon was already settling , and before he could get out oi the way the gresit bag turned over and struck the parachute , overturning it , and all * descended together. When Thayer's l > ody was found both arms , both legs and his spine were broken. Prof. Bert Ivimball , who made a bal loon ascension at the Knights of Pythias picnic at Bawbeese Park at Ilillsdale , Mich. , dropped into Bawbqese lake and drowned before assistance could reach him.

Adolpli Luetgert , who was serving a life sentence "in the Illinois State peui- tentiai-y at Joliet for Ac murder of bis wife , Louisa , died suddenly at a few minutes before 7 o'clock Thursday morn ing * The probable cause of his death was heart disease. It was thought at first that he might have killed himself , but the prison phy sician , after examining the body , con cluded that death resulted from natural causes. There were no indications of poisoning , nor were there any marks on the body. To all appearances Luetgert had been in the best of health , although he had been suffering from rheumatism. The chaplain of the prison said that in the several talks he had with the pris- ADOLPH I , . LUETGEBT. oner he had always declared his inno cence of any crime. He was confident he would be vindicated in time and that the Supreme Court would grant him a rehearing. lie frequently spoke about his case and all his thoughts seemed to be upon it. The warden and his deputies all 'pronounce Luetgert to have been a well-behaved prisoner. The only trouble which they ever had with him was a little argument he got into with a repre sentative of a large packing house over the meat furnished. He had to be placed in solitary confinement as a punishment for his conduct. Luetgert's passing away marks the closing chapter of one of the most grew- some murder mysteries in the annals of criminology his debt to the law which was fixed .by a jury at life imprisonment has been wiped out. EVANSVILLE MINERS RIOT. - Non-Unionists Attacked The , Mayor Forbids Parade. Rioting and disorder prevailed at two of the Evansville coal mines Wednesday. As the colored non-union miners came from the First avenue mines they were mot by a crowd of boys Avho carried tin cans. Several stones were hurled at them. AVhen a block away from the mine the miners pulled their revolvers and opened fire on the crowd. No one was hurt. Several hundred people gathered and the police dispersed the crowd and es corted the miners home. Nearly 1,000 striking miners , their families and sym pathizers were at the John Ingle mine when the colored miners quit work. Both the strikers and non-union men were armed. Mayor Akin issued a proclama tion forbidding the miners to parade. TO REMOVE THE DAMS. Illinois Valley's Demand on Chicago Drainage District.

It 5s very small , equally ugly aud even more convenient. It generally stands on a pedestal , or Is nailed to the wall of the living room , and the use of the picturesque lan guage In its presence Is accounted not a sin , but a pious duty. Thus If an Indian bruises his finger , or his cayuse steps Into a prairie dog's bole and wickedly breaks his leg , be confines himself to general remarks on tbe weather until he reaches home and sees again the comforting /ace of the grinning devil. Then he becomes sud denly possessed of the eloquence of a mule driver , and the things that he says would make any ordinary elfigy slirirel up with borror , but tbe swear ing god is used to it. After all , so-called civilized beings are not so far beyond the Indian. When we get angry at a man we burn him in effigy , or hang up a doll whose distort ed features convey our impressions of his unworth. and throw stones at it. Private 1'ostottlce. Tbe German Emperor has a little postoffice of his own , with officials de tailed especially to handle the volumi nous mail matter that comes every day addressed to him. All letters are classi fied under the three heads "private , " "official" and "immediate. " Private let ters are handed over to the Emperor unopened , those marked "official" land in the civic cabinet of the Kaiser if they contain petitions by civilians , while those of a military character go to the military cabinet. Chiefs of these two departments make all the neces sary inquiries regarding tbe communi cation , and then prepare tbe answers in accordance with the regulations for official letters. These answers are taken to tbe Emperor , who expresses his ap proval by affixing his signature. An swers are then dispatched by special messengers to their destination. Tbe messengers used in this service are tbe most trustworthy men who can be found. Hall's Catarrh Cure Is taken internally . Price 75 cents. "What She Wanted to Knovr.
