DREYFUS CONDEMNED RENNES COURTMABTIAL FINDS HIM GUILTY OF TREASON, Is Sentenced to Ten Years Detention. The World Astonished at the Result. Comments of English and Germans Not Complimentary to the Court. Rennes, Sept. 11.—Captain Dreyfus was found guilty Saturday evening by the courtmartial of treason against France and sentenced to 10 years’ detention. The vote was sto 2. ASK FOR MERCY Judges of Courtmartial Ask That Dreyfus Be Not Degraded. Rennes, Sept. 12.—The judges of the Dreyfus courtmartial late yesterday, by mutual agreement, expressed to the president of the republic, through General Lucas, the commander of the army corps at Rennes, their sincere desire that Dreyfus would not be submitted to a fresh degradation. When M. Labori’s secretary informed Dreyfus of this action he was greatly affected and said: “I still have hopes.” CONDEMNED CAPTAIN Dreyfus Must Serve the Ten Years Says Colonel Jouaust. Rennes, Sept. 11.—Dreyfus has borne the terrible shock with marvelous fortitude, one might almost say with unnatural calm. He seemed stupefied Saturday when Maitre Labor! communicated to him the verdict, but he has since rallied. He is convinced that the 10 years imprisonment to which he is sentenced will be wiped out by the five years of solitary seclusion he has undergone on Devil’s Island, and he expects to be released by Oct. 15, which will be five years from the date of his former condemnation. He is so sanguine that he has made an extraordinary request of his wife for a novel to read in the meantime, explaining that his mind is so shaken and weighed down by recent events that he needs to divert his thoughts and to try to get all the recollections of the last three mouths out of his mind. He thinks that reading a novel will afford the desired mental repose and keep him from brooding. M. Coupois, clerk of the courtmartiai, is most emphatic in declaring that Dreyfus must serve 10 years from the date of a fresh degradation, but doubts if he will be degraded again. Colonel Jouaust has also declared that Dreyfus must serve 10 years, but, speaking with friends, he expressed a conviction that there would not be a fresh degradation. This ceremony requires breaking the prisoner’s sword and tearing off his epaulets, but Dreyfus never had his sword restored to him and he only wore undress uniform without epaulets, so that it would be impossible to carry out the regulations for degradation. This is Colonel Jouaust’s view. SCORED IN ENGLAND Dreyfus Judges Likened Unto Judas, Pilate and Judge Jeffries. London, Sept. 11. —It would be difficult to describe adequately the indignation the verdict of the Dreyfus courtmartial has evoked everywhere in England. In almost all the places of public worship yesterday references were made to the verdict. Canon Scott-Holland, at St. Paul's cathedral, said: “A nation is on its triaL France stands at the judgment bar. All civilization is waiting to know whether tomorrow news may add anything to qualify the naked cruelty of a bare telegram, anything to relieve the staggered conscience." Rev. Hugh Price Hughes, the well known Wesleyan divine, preaching at St James’ Hall, said: “Five unhappy judges have already taken their places, in the judgment of the human race, beside Judas, Pilate, Judge Jeffries and other creatures. They have sentenced their victim to a decade of imprisonment, but they have decreed themselves forever to the scorn, derision and execration of the human race. Unless France shakes off this infamy she will be left without an ally or friend.” Rev. Arthur Robbins, chaplain in ordinary to the queen, preaching at Holy Trinity, Windsor, said: “The civilized world is aghast at this great crime of five abject judges.” AS GERMANS VIEW IT Dreyfus Verdict a Grave Political Blunder. Berlin, Sept. 10.—The Dreyfus verdict causes a feeling almost of stupefaction in Berlin. It had been hoped that the statement of Reichsanszeiger, as emanating directly from Emperor William, would have rendered impossible the repetition of what is described as “one of the greatest judicial and political crimes of any age.' ’ The German press unanimously describes the verdict as cowardly and impolitic, not to say criminal. The Cologne Gazette says: “It is a cowardly verdict in the barbarous spirit of the middle ages. By this crime the judges have imposed a line of demarkation between France and the rest of the world which, although it will not prevent diplomatic intercourse and stay the common exchange of products, will, according to all the notions of right, justice, honor, tolerance and ethics which the civilized worl bears with it in the 20th century, form a barrier only to removed y and laborious effort. ” The oilier leading journals comment upon the verdict in similar strains. Paris, Sept. 12.-The Journal des Debats says it hopes that after the Rennes verdict the sentiment of humanity wil find scope, even in the most of conflicts. Public, opinion, it adds, is quite prepared for the eventuality of Dreyfus’ pardon.

FROM ARCTIC SEAS THE STEAMSHIP WINDWARDJAR. IRIVES ATJBRIGUS, N. F. " She Was With Lieutenant Peary, the Arctic Explorer, and Brings News of the Doings of That Bravo Officer. He Visits Fort Conger. Brigus N. F., Sept. 11.—The PearyHarmsworth steamer Windward, Captain John Bsrtlett, from Etah, North Greenland, Aug. 26, arrived here yesterday, reporting all well on board. She will be followed in a week by the Peary Arctic club’s steamer Diana. The Windward reports that all on board the Diana were well at the time the vessels separated. The two steamers met at Etah, Aug. 12, and worked in company under the personal direction of Lieutenant Peary in collecting supplies for the winter and the equipment for next spring’s campaign. The Windward was icebound in All Man bay from Aug. 18, 1898, to Aug. 2, 1899, being in a sort of eddy, undisturbed by wind or current. The season was one of continuous calm with very little snow, the minimum temperature at the ship being 70 degrees below zero. Lieutenant Peary made several successful hunting trips and laid in an ample supply of fresh meat, including musk oxon, seals and birds, for the winter. Utilizing the December moon he sledged the ice for 250 miles north, over almost impassable ice, to Fort Conger, the headquarters of the Greely expedition. He bad the misfortune to have both feet frostbitten, and several toes had to be amputated, which necessitated six weeks’ delay and confinement until he could make the return trip. Lieutenant Peary found Fort Conger exactly as Greely left it. The table was standing from the last meal and all the other appointments had remained undisturbed for 16 years. Tne buildings were in fair condition, though some of them would not be serviceable much longer. He took possession of all the property, real and personal, in the name of the United States government and posted notices to that effect. He brought away, and is sending home, the original Greely records, the sextent of Lieutenant Beaumont, R. N., of the Hares-Markham expedition of 1876-78, recovered by Lieutenant Lockwood, and many private letters and papers of members of Greely’s party, ali of which are to be forwarded to the Peary Arctic club of New York. A considerable quantity of provisions was also found and protected for further emergency. He also pushed beyond Fort Conger to Cape Beeohy, finding practically the same conditions of ice and seas as south of the former point. Subsequently he made a second trip to Fort Conger and in all four parties from the Windward reached that point and returned without other accident than that to Lieutenant Peary himself as a result of the winter work. Four tous of provisions, two at Conger and the others distributed between Cape Sabine, Durville, Louis Napoleon, Frazer and ocher points, not more than 50 miles apart, have been deposited, and both natives and whites engaged m the work have been made so laminar with the route and the caches that all risk to lite and limb along this path is practically ended. A boat is also cached at Cape Louts Napoleon. Lieutenant Peary’s last sledge journey was an overland exploration westward from the winter quarters of the Windward, completely crossing Ellesmere land, which was found practically ice free and to contain much game. Ample supplies for the remainder of the time of the expedition, not less than 50 tons, have been landed. Lieutenant Peary has built a commodious living and working room for himself and his companions in which they will be thoroughly comfortable during the winter, which will be spent in rest and working up the results of last year’s labors. ANSE HATFIELD Captured In the Mountains of West Virginia Without Bloodshed. Williamson, W. A a., Sept. 12. —Sheriff Henderson of Logan county and a posse of 15 went to the Hatfield fort, in the mountains, 30 miles from here, and, without bloodshed, captured Devil Anse Hatfield, his son Bob and John Dingess, a relative of the Hatfields by marriage. The prisoners will be taken to Pike county and tried on charges of murder, growing out of the Hatfield-McCoy feud. “Cap” Hatfield, the only prominent member of the faction now at liberty, is being hunted by a posse. MUCH TREASURE Steamship Bertha Arrives at San Francisco Loaded With Gold. San Francisco, Sept. 12.—The steamer Bertha has arrived from Alaskan ports with a large amount of treasure from the arctic gold fields. The purser had in charge $1,259,000 belonging to the Alaska Commercial company and each one of the 68 passengers brought down considerable dust, though the exact amount is not known. Germany’s Surest Bulwark. Carlsruhe, Baden, Sept. 9.—Emperor William, addressing the burgomaster of Carlsruhe yesterday, and, expressing his satisfaction at the bearing of the troops, said: “Many centuries must elapse before the theory of permanent peace attains universal application. At present the surest bulwark of peace for the German empire consists in its princes and the army they lead.” Inspected Trainingships. Gibraltar, Sept. 9.—Admiral Dewey inspected the United states trainingships Saratoga and alliance yesterday, and was loudly cheered when leaving the vessels. The Saratoga sailed during the afternoon for Maderia.

VACATIONS AND THE EYE. How the Organ Im Taxed During the Summer Seanon. “Yes, the vacation season is hard on the eye,3." said Dr. Julius Pohlman recently, in answer to a question. Dr. Pohlman conducted a course of lectures last year at Chautauqua on “eating and seeing," and his talk was practically a continuation of the addresses of last summer. “Persons going away to rest or coming back to work,” continued the doctor, “almost invariably use their eyes on the train. If they do not read, they watch the scenery. You seldom see a person reclining comfortably—oven on a ’high back’ —paying no attention either to a book or the fenenposts just outside the window. The worst of it is that the books that are sold on the trains are usually in the poorest of print. The paper is cheap and thin and of a dull color —drab or gray rather than white. The type does not show up nearly as distinctly as it should. “When traveling by train and reading, you try to hold the book or paper steady, but the types jiggle irregularly back and forth as the result of the motion of the car and the shakiness of your hand. Your eyes also do a deal of dancing, not only in pursuit of the bobbing letters, but in addition because you also are shaken about more or less by the motion of the train. Imagine the effect on the muscles of the eye. First, mind you, the eye itself has an unsteady rest; second, it is trying to fasten itself on that which is more unsteady still. I wonder more people are not bothered with defective sight. “But reading is not the only ill. Fix your eye on things close to the car —on flowers, fenceposts, culverts, trees—and the effect is as bad as would be brought on by reading. Why will people persist in injuring themselves ? You don’t have to have the toothache long before learning its cause and attempting a cure, but people go on ruining their eyes right along for the sake either of killing or economizing a trifle of time. A headache is the first warning, but that becomes common after awhile and is not heeded any more than the headache that follows unwise eating. There is closer connection between the stomach and the eyes on one side and a headache on the other than most people imagine, but perhaps the public some day will be willing to watch out for its eyes as well as with them, just as it is being taught to take care of its teeth.”— Buffalo Express. Acrons Three Centuries. Henry Howard, one of the aged inmates of the Old Men’s home at Powelton avenue and Saunders avenue has just reached his one hundred and first birthday. He said: “If I live until the beginning of the year. I shall have lived in three centuries. ” He has never had much sickness. He gets up at 7 o’clock every morning and eats breakfast with the other inmates. He walks twice a week to St. Mary's church, Thirty-ninth and Locust streets, five squares away, ami does not become exhausted. He has not missed the regular service at this church once in 12 years. Another interesting inmate is Carl Beyer, 94 years old. He is able to walk long distances. Mr. Beyer has just left the Prcsby terian hospital, where an operation was performed for hernia. He is the oldest man ever operated npon for that ailment. —Philadelphia North American. The Retinue of fin American Palace. Tho household staff of servants attached to the Castellane palace in Paris numbers 35 persons, which includes a secretary to the count, a major domo. a valet to the count, three footmen, a chef de cuisine and three assistants, two concierges, a maid to the countess, a staff of housemaids, butler and assistants. In the stables are three coachmen. a jockey and half a dozen grooms and stablemen. When a reception is on. the house forces are largely increased. The livery of the Castellane establishment is blue, with black knickerbockers, stockings of moire silk and a waistcoat of transparent red and yellow ; gala livery of white, with black plush knickerbockers and gold lace brandenbourgs. Another livery is white without the lace. On reception days the servants are powdered in the regulation court style.—Edward Page Gaston in Woman's Home Companion. Mr. Hawkins ns a Hobo. J. R. Hawkins, superintendent of the Detroit and Lima Northern railroad, while east a few days ago was looking with considerable interest at some rails that had been laid by machine on the Pennsylvania railroad track. He had been traveling and did not look very spruce. He was also shy on a shave. His hands were dug into his pockets as if he was trying to find a nickel, tie was startled by a voice saying: “I wud’n try dis line. pard. Dey's stiff on de Penn. Ever try dem ? Las' time I did dey trun me off. an I wuz near passin in me chips. Let’s hoof it ter Jamestown, w’ere we kin ketch d' Erie.” —Detroit Journal. Sin In a Reform School. Among the recent additions to the reform school boys at the Chehalis school is a lad named Sin. It has been the portion of Superintendent Westendorf for many years to deal with sin in the abstract, but this is the first time he has ever encountered the real thing. It is trusted that the professor will be enabled successfully to guide aright the footsteps of Original Sin and make a good man of him. —Chehalis Bee-Nug-

ONLY ONE CORE FOR SCROFULA. SQ C |q fhn flnlu There are dozens of remedies recommended for i Ui Ui Id illu UIIIJ Scrofula, some of them r , doubt being able to ta J _ - , afford temporary relief, but S. S. S. is absolutely QflV rfIUA TA th IQ the only remedy which completely cures it. jJJ LljliQl IU lllld Scrofula is one of the most obstinate, deep-seated nionnen blood diseases, and is beyond the reach of the uDdlllldlu blSuuSui many so-called purifiers and tonics because something more than a mere tonic is required. S. S. S. is equal to any blood trouble, and never fails to cure Scrofula, because it goes down to the seat of the disease, thus permanently eliminating every trace of the taint. The serious consequences to which Scrofula surely leads should impress upon those afflicted with it the vital importance of wasting no time upon treatment which can not possibly effect a cure. In many cases where the wrong WMEJ treatment has been relied upon, complicated glandular S swellings have resulted, for which the doctors insist that. a dangerous surgical operation is necessary. Mr. H. E. Thompson, of Milledgeville, Ga., writes: “A 1./mJ i?' bad case of Scrofula broke out on the glands of my neck, which had to be lanced and caused me much suffering. I was treated for a long while, but the physicians were un- 'MSc--able to cure me, and my condition was as bad as when I JB I I began their treatment. Many blood remedies were used, bOjßh but without effect. Someone recommended S. S. S., and ‘ e 7[’ 1 .7" ,Jl I began to improve as soon as I had taken a few bottles. »i"ft <3 Continuing the remedy, I was soon cured permanently, and have never had a sign of the disease to return.” Swift’s Specific— S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD —is the only remedy which can promptly reach and cure obstinate, deep-seated blood diseases. By relying upon it, and not experimenting with the various so-called tonics, etc., all sufferers from blood troubles can be promptly cured, instead of enduring years of suffering which gradually but surely undermines the constitution. S. S. S. is guaranteed purely vegetable, and never fails to cure Scrofula, Eczema. Cancer, Rheumatism, Contagious Blood Poison, Boils, Tetter, Pimples, Sores, 0 leers, etc. Insist upon S S S.; nothing can take its place.
