2 JUSTICE TO DREYFUS. FRENCH CABINET DECIDES IN FAVOR OF REVISION. The Document, to lie Mont to the Court of Ce.mtfoii. Tho Minuter ot Justice Will Proceed Ageluet Any One Attuck * ing the Army. Paris, Sept. 27.—At a meeting of the rabinet Monday morning, all the min isters being present, a decision was taken In favor of a revision of the trial Df Albert Dreyfus, the captain of artil lery who was degraded on charges of Belling military secrets to a foreign power, and sentenced to imprisonment en Devil's Island, near Cayenne, and the documents in the case will be sent to the court of cessation. The crowds of people outside the min istry of the interior, where the cabinet council was held, loudly cheered the ministers, and there were shouts of "Vive Brisson!" "Vive la revision!" The cabinet ordered the minister of Justice, M. Sarrlen, to lay before the court of cessation the petition of Mine. Dreyfus, wife of the prisoner of Devil's Island, for a revision of her husband's case. The court, therefore, will decide the legal question as to whether the first trial of Captain Dreyfus was vitiated by the forgery committed by the late Lieutenant Colonel Henry, who was a witness before the court martial, and who confessed to having forged a doc ument in the case. The minister of Justice has announc ed that he has given instructions that proceedings are to be taken immedi ately against any one attacking the army. Henri Rochefort, in his paper, the Intransigeant, accuses Major Esterha zy of having been bribed by the so called Dreyfus syndicate, to "cover himself with dishonor by confession to II forgery, of which charge he was twice acquitted." M. Rochefort asserts that he paid Esterhazy 1,009 francs for copies of all the documents In the case, and that, in addition, with two other newspaper men, he paid Esterhazy, who was literally without a centime, 800 francs monthly to prevent him from Bying of hunger while waiting to obtain a pension. Continuing. M. Rochefort says: "Re cently, without any apparent incentive, Esterhazy mysteriously went to Lon don, abandoning his three hundred francs monthly. Why this emigration? Who paid for his Journey? With what money has Esterhazy paid for his meals?" The Figaro says: "The government may safely decide In favor of or against a revision, but Its duty is to come to a prompt determination." M. Clemenceau, in the Auroru, says "France is divided into two camps, those who conceive that the Interests of the country depend upon the con cealment of fact? by lies, and those who have a sufficiently high esteem tor the country not to separate patri otism from the aspirations of Justice Bnd truth."

' THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA OREGON'S CHAPLAIN ON TRIAL. %V U IJe lVe.d Mental Irreponilblllty for 11-mark* About blimp,on uu.l Ev..it Denver, Col., Sept. 27.—The court martial convened for the trial of Chap lain Joseph P. Mclntyre of the battle ship Oregon met here at 1 o'clock yes terday afternoon. It was ushered In with a sensation. Instead of the calling of witnesses to Inaugurate the trial, as is customary. Attorney Earl M. Cranston, attorney * if the accused, made an address to the court. Although the text of that address U unknown, the doors being closed, those who are best quullfied to Judge of such matters, assert that It is a practical admission of the charges and specifi cations and a proposition to submit to the court the expert testimony of Drs. Eskridge and Pershing. These two physicians are specialists In nervous disorders. They made an examination of Chaplain Mclntyre on Saturday. This was done at the In stance of friends of Mclntyre, who think that by reason of great mental excitement resulting from his experi ence In the Santiago campulgn he was not responsible for itterances he may have made In his lecture delivered here on August 8. The object sought In trying to have the testimony of these specialists sub mitted would obviously be to waive a trial and throw the chaplain on the mercy of the court. The charges against Chvplain Mcln tyre are three: Scandalous conduct tending to the destruction of good mor als, conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline, asd conduct un becoming an officer of the United States navy. The specifications are ten in number and comprise quotations from a news paper report of the lecture which the chaplain delivered in the Trinity Meth odist Episcopal church here on August 8, and in which he is alleged to have questioned the honesty of Admiral Sampson and the courage of Captain Robley D. Evans. THE SULTAN MUST SUBMIT Four Powers Agree to the l'uclflcafion of Crete.

Not Mercenary, ' No people care less about money than Americans. We are universally accused of extravagance. Our rich men astonish the world by their liber ality toward colleges and libraries and churches and charities. The posses sion of wealth on one side and its lack on the other is something of a bar to marriage all the way from a London palace to a tribe of American Indians, but in no other civilized community is it so little of a bar as it is in the United States. But our reputation is not purely fic titious. There is a reason for it, but one that proves the stupidity of Euro pean observers, with rare exceptions. The woman who has to make her own clothes is obliged to give more thought to her dress than the more fortunate woman who has simply to send her orders to her modiste, or, better yet. receive the suggestions of her costum er. And yet she does not necessarily care more for dress; probably she cares less for it than the rich woman who gives but a quarter of the time to the subject of clothes. It happens that ! comparatively few Americans have been lucky enough to inherit fortunes from their fathers, and still fewer have made mercenary marriages in foreign countries. They have therefore been obliged to make their own money, and to give that subject more attention than foreigners, who either inherit wealth or have no hope whatever of securing it. The American gives more attention to the acquisition of money than the European does, for he hasn't it and may get it, while the European has it without eflort or cannot get it with effort. But the American spends it more generously, suffers less when he loses it, and estimates very much less than the European.—Fred Perry Power's in October Lippincotf s.
