AMERICAN GIFT TO DREYFUS.

Hebrew Dime Subscription to Purchase Testimonials. The Hebrews of America are planning a testimonial to celebrate the release of Dreyfus from Devil’s Island, and the tardy measure of justice to him meted out by ths French nation. Funds are being raised in Chicago, New York and all the large cities of the country. It is intended to present to Captain Dreyfus a gold-mounted and diamond-set and richly engraved sword. To Emile Zola, whose defense of the army officer led to his exile from his native country, will be given a solid gold pen, neatly engraved. To CoL Picquart, who always stood by the prisoner, will be presented a gold loving cup, with a richly engraved inscription.
