Captain Dreyfus has again been condemned by courtmartial and his punishment fixed at ten year's detention. The court stood five for conviction to two for ac-quiital. ac-quiital. The judgment was read to Dreyfus, who was in an adjoining room. lie listened impassively, did not give the slightest sign of emotion, did not utter a word, and marched back to prison like an automaton. The last hours of the trial added no evidence of the prisoner's guilt, yet the impression was general that he would be condemned. The announcement announce-ment of the verdict caused no demonstration, demon-stration, and few expressions of sympathy sym-pathy for Dreyfus were heard. The fact that those parts of the secret dossier dos-sier which most strongly implicated Dreyfus were shown to be forgeries seemed to have little influence with the court. The statement published in Germany, with the sanction of the government, asserting the innocence of the accused, probably hindred rather than helped the defense, as it gave an opportunity to raise the old cry that Germany was trying to save the traitor's neck. The opinion prevails that Dreyfus will soon be liberated. lie has already undergone five years' solitary confine ment, which counts doable, equalling ten years' detention. President Lou bet may also pardon him. Thousands of telegrams of sympathy from all parts of the world have been received by the Dreyfus family. M.

Salt Lake City, Sept. 12. W. J. Bryan addressed 5,000 people at the Salt Palace grounds Saturday night. His train was delayed and it was near 10 o'clock before he began speaking. Ex-Senator Dubois of Idaho addressed crowd before Bryan arrived. On political issues Bryan said: "If we wanted to let the money question rest the Republicans would not let us, because they are now going forward and proposing to carry the gold standard stan-dard a little further; they are proposing propos-ing to make gold the only legal tender; to retire greenbacks and place the nation na-tion more securely in the clutches of those who own the gold. We were fighting the money trust in 1890, and a great many people did not realize what the money trust meant, but when the same rule was applied to the toothpick and match trusts they began to see it. "Now they talk about expansion and do not like to be called imperialists. There is a good deal of difference between be-tween expansion and imperialism. Expansion Ex-pansion describes such acquisitions of territory as we have had before, the acquisition of territory to be settled by Americans and built up into American Amer-ican states. Imperialism describes the colonial policy which proposes to have a citizen here and a subject there, half republic and half imperial, half resting rest-ing upon the consent of the governed and the other half upon force. I do not believe the two ideas of government govern-ment can grow side by side. He doubted that any financial benefit bene-fit would follow the retention of the islands, but thought they would be a source of expense, adding: "I have no doubt that we can whip the Filipinos. I have never doubted it. I cannot tell how long it will take nor how often we will have to repeat it, but we can do it, because the Spanish Span-ish came pretty near whipping them and they had only been at it 300 years, and they got 520,000,000 for the option on the fight when they went out."

Chicago Journal: "Deliver me from any more wheat deals with women," Bald the commission man, wearily. "Just read this letter. Do you see what she says? Calls me a robber and sayB she will prosecute me. She won't do that, of course, because If she did her folks would find out about her little lit-tle speculation, and I know her well enough to understand the she wouldn't let it out if she could help it, and she couldn't prosecute me anyway. Then look at the rest of it. One would think from that letter I was running the biggest skin game on earth. But I suppose I ought not to be surprised. I never saw a woman yet who didn't want odds of a million to one in Ler favor if she took it into her head to put up a little money on something. I'll tell you what brought out all of that abuse. This woman decided some time ago to trade a little in wheat. She wrote, sending me $20, with instructions in-structions to buy her 1,000 bushels. I did so, but the price of wheat went down almost as soon as I had telephoned tele-phoned the order over to the firm at the board. I made up my mind that she shouldn't lose if I could help it, even if I had to help her out myself. So I began margining for her on my own account. I put up ?20 without being worried much, for I thought the price would go up soon, but it didn't, and I had to spend another $20 to save my own margin. There was $40 gone Just to protect her little old $20. Before Be-fore the market began to come up again I had to put in $80. Then one day the price came up very gradually. As soon as it got to the point where I could save myself I sold out, as any wise man would have done in my fix. As it happened, too, the price went back just after I had sold out, proving the wisdom of my course. Well, I informed my client of what I had done, supposing she would be delighted de-lighted at the interest I had taken and at my attempt to save her investment invest-ment for her. You can judge for yourself your-self from that letter how well pleased she is. Says I am a robber, after I took all that pains to put up that money to save her old $20. No, I guess I won't do any mere trading with women. They expect too much." DYING TWENTY-FIVE YEARS. Giant Poplar in Maryland Has Lived Two Centuries or More. From the Baltimore Sun: The oldest old-est and largest tree in Talbot county is dead. It has been dying for tv.enty-nve years oriiore. The tree is a mammoth mam-moth tulip poplar in a field of Poplar Hill farm, near the public road leading from Easton to Trappe, about a mile and a half from Easton. The farm hag been named for the tree for at least 200 years and is the property of Mrs. Edmund Law Rogers, born Plater, of Baltimore, and was part of the original orig-inal Plater grant made in early colonial times. Scientific men who have from time to time visited this tree have said that it would take at least 1,000 years for this species of poplar to grow to such size in this locality. lo-cality. It stands alone, a picturesque feature of the landscape, in an open field, and can be seen for miles from all roads and from the water courses. The wonderful size of the tree is In the magnitude and height of its trunk. Approximately it is 250 feet high and twenty feet in diameter. The head is comparatively small and the first limb is 200 feet from the ground, and it carries car-ries its diameter symmetrically all the way up. From its top at night, for many venturesome and agile climbers have ascended it, the light in Sharp'3 Island lighthouse can be plainly seen. A horse and carriage behind it cannot be seen from the nearby public road. The lightning has not spared it. It is seamed and gashed and stilt -by the many bolts which have also knocked huge limbs from its top. Tradition says that 200 years ago, which is as far back as tradition claims to have known the tree it is named in land deeds 150 years ago it' had lightning marks on it, and even then showed signs of failure. Three years ago it was struck four times in one summer. This fierce attack undoubtedly hastened has-tened its end. Well, the giant tree is dead. The old poplar of Poplar Hill probably saw the beginning of the twentieth century and died just before the beginning of the twentieth. It was the Mount Shasta of the Talbot land, scape. The Dreyfus Children' Friends. In reading of the affair which has upset the equilibrium of France for the last three years one is apt to think little of the family side of the case, tha daily scenes, the heartaches, the suffering suf-fering in the home of Capt. Dreyfus. An Antwerp merchant, Just returned from Paris, says that being in Paris on business a few days ago he visited the house of some friends of the Dreyfus Drey-fus family, who told him that every year Capt. Dreyfus' children receive on New Year's day, Easter, St. Nicholas' Nicho-las' day and Christmas a large case containing many pounds of beautiful presents. With each case comes the simple inscription, "From papa." The donor remains always anonymous, hi3 object being to make the innocent children believe their father really sent the gifts. This has been kept up ever since the day when the martyr left his country in exile. Clever Way to Catch a Thief. From the Philadelphia Record: A lady in Paris is reported to have lost her purse in a dressmaker's establishment. establish-ment. She had all the young ladies of the establishment called in, so it is seriously se-riously reported, and demanded from each one a lock of her hair. The tokens tok-ens were then pinned to pieces of paper pa-per bearing the owners' names, and as the customer left the establishment she remarked: "My purse has been stolen, but as I do not wish to subject innocent girls to the humiliation of being searched, I intend early tomorrow tomor-row morning to subject your hair and handwritings to a somnambulist and clairvoyant, who will tell me which of yo ia the thief." In the course of the evening the lady received an anonymous parcel containing intact her purse with its contents. Beggars In London. London probably suffers less from the plague of beggars than any other of the great capitals of the world. It is certainly less troubled with them than it was a few generations ago.
