DREYFUS HAS A DAY.

CORDIER’S EVIDENCE STRONGLY FAVORS PRISONER. Never Thongbt Bordereau Enough to Warrant Conviction—Backs Opinion with Proof—Former Minister of War De Freycinet Explains ‘'Syndicate.” Tuesday was another good Dreyfus day. Lieut. Col. Cordier, retired, who was a member of the intelligence bureau at the time Dreyfus was there, occupied most of the time of the court martial. His testimony was strongly in favor of the accused. M. de Freycinet, former minister of war, also testified regarding the “foreign syndicate” reported to have been formed to fight for Dreyfus' freedom. He admitted frankly that he had no basis for the statement. Lieut. Col. Cordier was first called to the stand. He testified that at first he believed Dreyfus guilty, but later he became sine there was no proof of the guilt of the accused and certain facts tended strongly to the presumption that he was innocent. He related the first description given of the traitor. It was that he was a colonel, 45 years old and decorated, which did not answer closely to Dreyfus. The last named was 34 and not decorated. Then the witness, continuing, said: "Foreign officers are aware that some of the members of our service make a regular business of treason.” This was received with murmurs of surprise and negation by the audience. “Some of these know only French, but there are others who are linguists, such as Esterhazy, for instance, who is proficient iu the languages.” “Col. Sandherr,” continued Cordier, “was loyal and a patriot and he died an honest man. Trouble began in the bureau with the arrival of Col. Henry. Before that there was harmony. Sandherr disliked Henry. The latter’s famous forgeries were simply committed in order to demolish the evidence amassed by Lieut. Col. Picquart. There is no proof of Dreyfus’ guilt, while on the other hand there were numerous suspicious acts in other quarters.” Maj. Lauth here arose and

disputed certain of the dates and facts mentioned by Cordier. Later, however, he firmly reiterated his statements. M. Labor! then read a telegram from a man named Pages, who was a friend of Col. Sandherr, denying that Matthieu Dreyfus attempted to bribe him (Sandherr). Gen. Rpget now confronted Lieut. Col. Cordier, saying: “What part of my deposition are you pleased to designate as false?” Cordier: “It is all false.” A long dispute between Gen. Roget and the witness then ensued. “Were you not an anti-Semite in 1894?” asked Gen. Roget. "Yes, 1 was,” replied Cordier, “and I still object to having Jews in the army, but not enough to bring false evidence against one of them who is accused of the crime of treason.” This direct thrust at Gen. Roget caused a great sensation. Col. Fleur and Archivist Gribelin of the general staff also confronted the witness. Their argument, however, was without result. Gen. Mercier then took the stand, and to the surprise of every one supported Cordier in some of his statements. He also affirmed Pages’ telegram, read by M. Labori, to the effect that Matthieu Dreyfus ever attempted to bribe Sandherr was correct. The next.witness was former Minister of War de Freycinet. He looked like a little white mouse, which, in fact, is his political nickname. M. de Freycinet testified in barely audible squeaks. The witness tiret testified in regard to the 35,000,000 franc foreign syndicate to free Dreyfus. He said he got the idea that it existed from a discussion with Jamont on possible coincidences and happenings as the Dreyfus case progressed. This was the only basis for his statement to Gen. Mercier that such a syndicate existed. Col. Jouaust, president of the court, then asked the witness what was his opinion of Dreyfus. M. de Freycinet replied: “I will be satisfied, Colonel, with whatever verdict the court renders as correct.” The audience was disappointed at this diplomatic answer, which saved the witness from publicly declaring his opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the accused. M. Labori asked M. de Freycinet: “Do you know a single fact which would lead you to think that any foreign agent had done anything in France to bring about a Tension of the Dreyfus case?” “No, nothin,” replied de Freycinet. “Or anything that would influence the court of cassation?” insisted Labori. “No,” emphatically said the former war minister. The. court adjourned after the testimony of a few minor witnesses was heard. M. Gallichet, a reporter on military matters, and a friend of Col. Henry’s, testified that Henry was uncommonly uncommunicative when the Dreyfus case was on. Belhomme, another handwriting expert, who testified at the Esterhazy trial, persisted that the bordereau was not written by Efeterhazy. He would not say, however, that Dreyfus wrote it. Abraham Cohn Labatt, 97, Galveston, Tex., is dead. He was the second oldest ,Masou in the United States.

points to early action in the field and to

the certainty of a conflict. Unless President Kruger is aggressive, it is reckoned that the first engagement will come about the beginning of October. In the event of war the headquarters staff must turn to the artillery, for British infantry—even if 80,000 be sent, as is suggested—will be shot down like partridges by the Boers. The artillery, however, next to the engineers, is the strongest branch of the land forces. Both the Transvaal and Britain are busy seeing to their military preparations, and in Pretoria a most gloomy view is taken as to the outcome. Indeed, in telegrams received in London it is stated that war is certain, but the papers hesitate to publish them owing to their gravity. In an interview Tuesday, President Kruger said that the Boer position was best described in Psalm Ixxxiii., 1-5 and 13-7, iu which the psalmist declares that the enemies of the Lord have banded together against his people to exterminate them, and calls upon him to punish them, to fill them with shame, and to cause them to perish. The London Daily Mail's Cape Town correspondent says it is estimated that 15,000 persons have left the Transvaal since the crisis arose. The Government has announced in the Assembly that it is considering greater facilities to enable

$21,000,000. He plans that his company shall do this business for the farmers for less than $1,000,000. The by-laws provide that there shall be no rebates to shippers or dividends paid to stockholders, and that the surplus earnings shall lie reserved to finance a bank department, to pay interest on the bonds of the company and for the purchase of the business and good will of commission houses.

CAUSED BY A WEIGHT.

Collapse of Chicago Coliseum Said to Be line to 1 his. Searching investigation made Wednesday probably establishes the cause of the collapse of the twelve giant steel arches for the Chicago Coliseum, killing ten laboring men and injuring a score of others. A bias weight upon two arches at the extreme north end of the structure where the trusses first gave way is regarded as the cause of the awful accident. A Chicago dispatch says that experts who searched the ruins discovered four large chains attached to these two arches. From them were suspended two-inch ropes, running through a pulley, and the former wound around a cross section of heavy iron timber. The jarring of the hoisting engine and the attempt either to

hoist or lower this beam is said to have brought down the two steel arches and they in turn caused the collapse of all the remaining steel framework. Several tobacco warehouses.

On His Furlough.

The children of the reading class were reciting, and as they read the teacher asked the meaning of the various words. Finally the word “furlough” was encountered. “What does ‘furlough’ mean?” asked the teacher. - There was no Immediate reply, and the teacher asked the question again. A little girl held up her hand. “Well, Mary, tell us what ‘furlough’ means.” “It means a mule,” said Mary. “Oh, no,” replied the teacher, “It doesn’t mean a mule.” “Indeed, it does,” said Mary. “I have a book at home that says so.” “Well,” said the teacher, now thoroughly interested, "you may bring the book to school and we’ll see about it.” The next day Mary brought the book, and In some triumph opened to a page where there was a picture of a soldier standing beside a mule. Below the picture were the words: “Going home on his furlough.”

I had the worst kind of kidney trouble, fainting spells, and I could not stand long at a time. 1 also had female weakness and the doctor said there was a tumor in my left side. The pains I had to stand were something dreadful. A friend handed me a little book of yours, so I got your medicine and it has saved my life. I felt better from the first bottle.
