Dreyfus usi UPHEAVES ALL FRANCE, g Life of the Famous Exile in His Prison on Devil’s Island. ^ ” The suiciilc, in his prison, of Lieu- tehant-Colonel Henry is the lstost not performed in the drnrnn of tho Dreyfus osse, and everything seoms to indicato that the fifth and last not will end, us in classical tragodios, by virtue being rewarded and crime punished. That is to Bay, a revision of the secret and illegal trial of Captain Dreyfus will bo granted. This is all that is wanted by ■universal conscience, for thp question •of the guilt or innocence of tho prison er of Devil’s Islund is a secondary one when contrasted with that of the^ su premo right of any man in a civilized nation to bo judgod not within olosod doors, and not without being shown the documents whioh liavo led to his indiotmeut, sentence and degradation. It is this aspoot of the Dreyfus ques tion which has made it a subjoct of in terest throughout tho world. For the last two years a tremendous fight has been kept on in Franco in favor of a revision of tho Dreyfus case, by tho lovers of justice and fair deal ings in tho courts. Emilo Zola, Cle- mencean, Janres, Pressenso and a host of other celebrated men have fought in vain for tho revision. The French people refusod to listen to any necusa- oity of Cayenne—iwhioh was denomi nated, togothor with its neighbor Binndondria, the "dry guillotine,” when it was ohoson as a plnoe of de portation for tho Terrorists nnd anti- Imparialists sentenced by the Di rectory and by Napoleon I. But it appenrs, according to tho latest do- spntohes, that DreyfuB, whoso death was often reportod, is thoroughly ac climated, and physically in good health. Ho will bo able, therefore, to answer any oharges which may be e front of the troops; and dur ing this awful funeral march he did rrfrt cease to cry that he was innocent. The captain was embarked at the lie de Be, in February, 1895, for the Devil’s Island, where he remains un der the guard of twelve men, in a cabin or hut, enoloscd recently by a high board fenco which outs off a view of the sea. If there is any hope for Captain Al fred Dreyfus that hope will bo realized through nnd by tho splendid efforts of Lucio Kugeuie, the captain’s beautiful wife. Soon after his arrival at his place of exile he wrote to Mmp. Drey fus: "I rely upon you tc solve this horrible mystery.” Then this faithful wife, who had offered to Bhare her husband’s awful fate and was pre vented doing so by the Frenoli Gov ernment, set to work to free the cap tain, or at least to secure for him n now trial. She went to Berlin and flung herself at the feot of the Era- poror. One word from him, she pleaded, would relense her husband. “Say," she prayed, "that the German Embassy received no information from Captain Dreyfus.” The Em- THE REALM OF FASHION. A Cutaway Effect. The new ciroular flounce and cuta way effects introduced in capes this season are extremely fascinating, and a revival of this popular and conveni ent wrap is already heralded. The tion against the Genoral Military Staff, tho only accusers of Captain Dreyfus, who practically hypnotized the nation, to which thoy represented themselves •as tho immaculato chiefs of the army, upon which the French confidently ro lied for obtaining tho recovery of tho two lost provinces, Alsace and Lor nine. But the suicide of Lieutonant- Colonel Henry, tho faototum of the General Staff, and his avowal that he bad forged ono of the seoret docu mentis used against DroyfuB, have opened the eyes of the Frenoh people, t Thus it has suddenly boen shown that not only had. tho oaptaiu been condemned without being allowed to aee and discueB tho documents which influenced the opinion of his judges, bnt that one of these documents, at least, was a forgory, confessed by tho forger himself. The first illegality was admitted by a Paris paper L’Eelair, the recognized organ of tho CAFE WITH CIRCULAR FLOUNCE. brought against him, aud to diBouss tho value of tho real or the forged documents which wore not communi cated to him or his advocate at tht timo of his trial, which took place in Decomher, 1894. Two months before, a "bordereau,” or megoraudnm, re vealing, as said a\)ove,'the programme of the mobilization of the French corps d'armee, was brought to Colonel Sandhorr, chief of the Intelligence Bureau of the General Staff, who died soon after, and whose plnoe was filled by Lieutenant-Colonel Henry, the too famous suicide nnd forgsr. The bordereau" had been found in the waste-basket of the Germnn Ambassa dor at Paris by a servant, who acted as a spy in tho interest of tho French Intelligence Bureau. At least suoh was the explanation given at Drey fus’s trial, though it is more than strange that documents of suoh im portance should be carelessly thrown by a diplomat in his waste-baskot. As to this document, it was asserted by the aooused captain that it was not in the handwriting of Dreyfus. On the other hand, some papers circulated a story according to whioh the captain, having boon summoned to the General Staff and required to write a few lines diotated from the "bordereau,” throw himself at the feet of Colonel DuPaty de Clam, and admitted that it was he who wrote the treacherous documont. Since then it has boon discovered that tho real author wns probably Com mandant Esterliazy, who was twice acquitted by two courts-martial, but who is reported in the latest de spatches from Paris to have disap peared as Boon as it was stated that the Government had deoided to grant a revision of the trial of 1894. The trial resulted, as is well known, in a seutence condemning Dreyfus to imprisonment for life and degradation from all military rank and honors, Alfred Dreyfus is a Hebrow from the the oity of Mulhauseu, in Alssoe, who had eleoted Frenoh nationality after his native place had boen annexed to the German Empiro. Ho was an ar tillery officer, a married man, fathor of two ohildren, qud possessor of a for tune sufficient to exclude the idea that he would resort to treason in or- peror said tho word she asked for, but it was of no avail. Next she visit ed the Emperor of Bussia, who took a keen interest in the case and did what ho could to help the plead ing wife. Next the Pope was drawn ipto tho affair, and also the Queen Begenl of Spain. All of these eminent persons used their influence to seouro a reopening of the case, but with no success. Still the work which Mme. Dreyfus did was bearing good fruit. The newspapers continued to fight about Dreyfus. Zoln and Max Nordau took up their pens and wrote with gall about Borne of the big people in Paris. Count Esterliazy was tried on a eharge similar to that on whioh Dreyfus was conviowd, and although not found guilty, the faot was all in favor of Mme. Dreyfus’s campaign. Then Colonel Pioquart, a friend of the model here illustrated ia of light- brown oloth, made en costume. The revers are faced with brown velvet, and brown satin is used for the band- some lining. The upper portion fits smoothly, a single dart taken up on each shoulder regulating the adjust ment, and the fronts are out away from the neok down. | The cape has added length given by the ciroular floouoe that iB joined to bretelles have an interlining of tailor- canvas between the lining of white faille and the cloth. The fronts lap in double-breasted style and are closed by diamond-shaped cut steel buttons. The skirt is seven-gored, in the latest mode, the narrow front gore being outlined with the trimming, an effect whioh gives height and dignity to the figure. The guimpe effect is a wonderfully attractive nnd becoming feature of the season’s styles aud may be plain-tnoked or lace-covered. Any of the plain-checked or novelty mixed goods are appropriate for its develop ment, and braid, velvet or ribbon may be used in decoration.

EX-CAPTAIN DIIEYFDS AT HIS HUT UNDER GUARD ON DEVIL’S ISLAND, General Staff, in its nnmber of Sep tember 15, 1896. Anyhow, it was the publication in L’Eolair which began to open the eyes of the unprejudiced Frenchmen to the matter, and which -caused the opening of the campaign in favor of the revision. At that time Captain Dreyfus had ^already been confined for nearly two years in his awful prison of Devil’s Island—the worst spot on the ooast of French Guiana, nearly opposite tho der to make money. After his sen tenco ho was takou from the military prison of the Cherche Midi to the squnre of the Ecole Militaire in Faria, where troops wore assembled to wit ness tho painful ceremony of the de gradation. The insignia of his rank as captain, the badges of his profes sion, were torn from his coat and cap; even the stripes wero torn from his tro-isers by the adjutant, and his swvrd was broken. He was then led Dreyfuses, fought a duel with Colonel Henry, and then came the last chapter of Henry's confession and suicide. Captain DreyfuB did well to rely on his wife to eolve the truly horrible mystery, and that eho will certainly succeed in liberating her husband or vindicating his memoiy if he should die there enu be no doubt whatever. Mme. Dreyfus mades this declaration: I am convinced of my husband's ab solute innocence and mean to prove it. Jehovab, God’or Providence will ere long crush bis enemies and restore him to me." This prediction cer tainly seems about to be fulfilled. Mmo. Dreyfus is still a beautiful woman notwithstanding the trying timo she has passed through and tbe great grief she has felt. The sympa thy of the world is hers. Newspapers and people who formerly proclaimed that Dreyfus was guilty, and that his partisans, called the Dreyfnsiste, wanted to surrender France to the practical domination of Germany and the German Jew financiers, have given up that criminal and stupid theory. They are clamoring now for a prompt revision of the trial of 1894, under standing at last that this is the only means to restore to the country the interior peace which has been so vio lently disturbed, especially during the last two years. A Woman'll Matrimonial Ventures. Mrs. AugustusThistlewood.of Provi dence, B. I., has been mnrried six times. At her last wedding fonr of her former husbands were present and acted as ushers. The fifth sent his regrets nnd a present, and an invita tion to the bride aud groom to spend the honeymoon in his house. The average term of servitude for these husbands was ten months; all the di vorces were granted upon the applica tion of the lady without opposition. The dissolution of matrimonial ties has been due to the tact aud diplo macy of the lady, who convinced her several spouses that they were mis- mated. Hood’s Pills euro indigent Ion. 23 cents.
