IN THE PUBLIC EYE

That Captain Dreyfus looked somewhat unkempt and changed in appear*

ance when he landed at Port Halguen, as reported by the French newspapers, is substantiated by the accompanying picture, which was made by an American artist who was on the spot when the returning martyr of Devil’s Island stepped ashore. .The change which his long period of solitary confinement and ill treatment have wrought in the once strong and athletic looking Alsatian cap-

tain will at once be seen from this picture. The French authorities realized this and did their utmost to effect a secret landing, but all their plans were unable to get the best of the vigilance of the energetic foreign correspondents. Col. A. L. Hawains, commander of the gallant Tenth Pennsylvania, the only Eastern regiment which took part in the

Philippine campaign, died on the homeward voyage. His regiment reached San Francisco on the transport Senator. with the colonel** body wrapped in a flag, on the deck. His death occurred July 17, two days after leaving Na-

gasaki, Japan. Col. Hawkins was tKeidol of his men. His regiment has long: been the pride of the State. At Manila it took part in the battle with the Spaniards, and it has been active in the warfare against the Filipinos.

Herewith are shown pictures of the parties to a wedding which Miss Stanton of Warren, 111., claims was performed in 1890 and which she has just made public. Mr. Carlton, who is now a wealthy Cripple Creek man, refuses to talk about thecase, and the other day at Cripple Creek, Colo., entered suit for divorce on the grounds of desertion.

Mrs. W. H. Bens of Clay City, Ky., .was the oqly survivor of a party of fifteen prospectors, led by her husband, who

went to the Klondike a year ago. After enduring hardships that would have driven most members of her sex to distractioiL. this brave Kentucky woman, alone in the wilds of the Yukon river country, made her way back to civilization, and finally

reached San Francisco. She is now with her brothers near Clay City.

Mrs. Ellen J. Allen, wife of the Kenosha, Wis., millionaire tanner, while at the Edgewater, 111., golf grounds, receiv-

ed a message that her baby at Kenosha was dying. Immediately Mr. and Mrs. Allen took the electric car for Evanston to catch the first tram for Kenosha, only to learn that the train could not be stopped

They pleaded in vain, but the mother wan not to be daunted by red tape. As thefast mail came in sight she sprang on the track, golf cape in hand. She frantically waved the scarlet garment that nullified running rules, and forced the* engineer to bring his rushing train to a stop almost at her feet. Mrs. Allen, reached Kenosha a little later.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., whom Gov. Wolcott of Massachusetts has made chief’ justice of the Supreme Court of that

State, is a son of the literary genius of the same name. He was born in 1841, is a Harvard graduate, and has taught in the Harvard law school. He Is a veteran of the civil war, and was wounded at Antietam. His father had • weary

search for the son,

who was a captain, and his interesting: story, “My Search for the Captain,” embodies the facts of his long hunt for the wounded boy. Judge Holmes ha* been associate judge of .the Supreme bench.
