Captain Dreyfus iu his dls^racefu
exile is a factor in French politics fai
greater than he might have been if he
had kept his freedom. It is certain that
his guilt was not conclusively proven
and he ought to have had the benefit
of the doubt in view of the magnitude
of his punishment. Governments can-
not afford to be unjust, and the suffer

hatred of his race may bring about
suffering to the nation which is respon-
sible for his undoing.
A New York judge has granted a wif<
a separation from her husband fur six
months, with alimony at the rate oi
$io a week. The plaintiff was a wife
30 years old. the defendant a husband
of 70. Doubtless the young woman feels
herself happy In being rid of the old
gentleman for six months, receiving in
the meantime $10 a week. At the end
of the first term of separation she can
apply for an extension and the old bus
baud is not likely to survive many d»
trees of court. Anything Is possible

recommendation to congress for an up
proprlation of $50,000 for improve

strong report of Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt, in which he points out
some weaknesses of the navy. Mr.
Roosevelt says: "I earnestly wish we
could as soon as possible withdraw
from active service tlie cruisers fittc'
with slow firing guns and substitute
ships with rapid fire batteries. At
present the real fighting efficiency o!
ships like the Raleigh, Cincinnati,
Marblehead, Montgomery, and Olym-

the same nominal class stands high,
while the reverse is the case of shir
like the Baltimore, San Francisco and

CHAPTER IX.—(Continued.)
Nothing came of the one solitary
gleam of kindness. The next day Mil-
dred did not see the earl at all; he
weat over to St. Cloud with some of
his friends. The slight gleam of happi-
ness died away, the old feeling of des-
olation came back to her. The Com-
tesse de Quesne called and pressed her
to go out, but the girl was sick at
heart. If ittoh a strsnje life married
without love, without even friendship
or liking married, yet living with her
hue band as though she were the merest
stranger—his wife, bearing his name,
sharing his fate, yet knowing no more
of him than did the lowest servant In
the household; his thoughts, his mind,
ills plans, his desires, his Interests, his
amusements, his pleasures, were all
strange to her. It was an unheard-of
position, an unheard-of fate.
Three weeks had passed away, and
Lord Caraven began to wonder how
much longer he was to remain in Paris.
If be had been free to follow his own
Inclinations, they would have led him
to the gaming-tables at Baden-Haden.
But, as he said Impatiently, he had no
idea of going there with a whole train
of people to look after.
Mow long would she expect to re-
main in Paris? The honeymoon that
most absurd of all institutions was
supposed to last a month. It would be
better perhaps to remain there until
It was over, and then go to Ravens-
mere. Me would be more comfortable
there. The house was spacious, and
It would be possible for him to move
about without being haunted by the
girlish, wistful face. So in Paris, un-
til the honeymoon was over, he de-
cided on remaining.

Three of the five deaths of student
In Chicago University the past year an
attributed to actual starvation by Pres-
ident Harper, who also affirms that i
every large university poor and ambi-
tious students sacrifice health, comfort
and life Itself in the thirst for an edu-
cation. Startling as is the statement.
It emphasizes one of the greatest needs
of the age, a proper understanding of
the chemistry of cooking, and the detri-
ment to mind and body of unsuitable
or insufficient food. Two kittens of the
same litter were recently set apart by
a scientist and brought up under Identi-
cal conditions, except that their food
was diametrically unlike. At the end
of four months whenever the scientist
held out his finger to one, the kitten
rubbed lovingly against it; whilst the
other would bite and draw blood. No
wonder, says a witty commentator, that
around some family tables the women
scratch and the men swear.
The Chicago wheat deal is attract-
ing much attention. Joseph Lelter
continues to hold his Immense pur-
chases of high grade winter wheat, an
amount now estimated at 15,000,000
bushels, in the meantime prices are
advancing in all parts of the world,
and it Is difficult to predict the figure
which Will be reached by May wheat.
The Lelter clique claims that the far-
mers have long since parted with their
wheat, and points to the fact that
"dollar wheat" fails to materially in-
crease the receipts at the principal
points. An interesting feature of the
situation Is the development that hun-
dreds of millers and wholesale Hour
dealers have been mixing corn meal
with Hour and selling this blended mix-
ture as high grade wheat. Tills Is said
to account for "black bread," and the
further fact that flour has not ad-
vanced in price In proportion to wheat.
This matter has been Introduced into
congress and some legislation may fol-
low, The reports of a Russian short-
age which were at first vigorously
denied, ar«' found to he true, and the
government will probably repeal the
duty on wheat so as to permit Imports.
The stocks now in Russian porti
amount to 11,600.000 bushels, as against
an average of 19,904,000 bushels foi
same dates in the last ten years. The
London Times prints a telegram from
St. Petersburg saying that the failure
of the crops threatens a worse dearth
than that of 1891. Russian editors are
forbidden to refer to the matter of the
coming reduction in import duties.
Maine is again to enter the list ol
copper mining states. The deposits

cllne in the price of copper made them
unprofitable; improved anil cheapened
method of production is the cause ol
resumption of work. Copper is a met

it waa a chilly evening at the end
of October when the Earl and Countess
of Caraven reac.htMl Ravensmere. No
preparations had been made to receive
and welcome them. There was no gath-
ering of tenantry. The earl's tenants
simply detested the sound of his name.
They had been so heavily burdened,
so taxed and tormented by the earl's
confidential agent. Mr. Blantyre, that
they had no welcome left for his mas-

tar. They considered him an unjust
landlord, and they did not scruple io
say so. There were uo glad shouts of
welcome for him; even the curly-head-
ed children had heard so often of the
earl's folly and neglect that they had
no cheer for him when his carriage
drove through the streets of Court
Raven. Nor was there any warm \v< I-
uome from the servants. They w-i-
most of them new ones; as the old re
talners had died off or gone away, the
earl had never retained them. The
house hail become dilapidated; the ser-
vants were few. the stables empty.
It was all different now John Blan-
tyre had had carte blanche. Tin* in-
terior of the-castle had been beauti-
fied, decorated, and refurnished; w ;!
trained servants had been brou t
from London; the stables had I • n
filled. There was a general air of pi
perity about the place, so that the « i
hardly knew it again.
Did 1,/ord Caraven miss the \wl
come? l)ld lie see that he was dlsl'.k d
by his tenants —that his servants
seemed to have no interest iu him?
Did it strike him that a life of sell
Indulgence always brings its own n
ward? Uidy Caraven gazed with won
der at the magnificent home which was'
to be hers. The first words she s .id
to her husband were:
"1 had no idea that Ravensmere was
so large."
Me looked half Incredulously at her.
"Did you not really feel Interest*"!
enough In the place to ak about i1
he inquired.
"I was very much interested in it."
she replied, quietly, " but I never
thought of asking any questions
"I should have fancied that you
would know all about it," he safcd
"the number of rooms and their con-
tents. I am surprised that you do
not."
She did not in the least understand
the drift of hiM words. That he should
ever fancy that she was mercenary,
that she wanted the full value for all
the money she had brought him, naver
occurred to her.
They dined together almost in si-
lence. Lord Caraven did not tell his
wife what a comfort he felt to see
the family plate once more in vim. HU-
dred was slightly overwhelmed by the
magnificence of everything around.
Mow little she dreamed that her for-
tune had preserved the grand old place
from utter ruin—that but for her the
massive plate, the beautiful picture
even the old walls themselves, wouhi
have passed from the Caraveus, and
the family name would have been
written In the dust?
Perhape some such thought occurred
to him as he looked at the sweet face
before him; perhaps that thought made
him feel a little more kindly toward
Mildred.
After dinner was over, instead of lin-
gering over his claret, he joined her
in the drawing-room.
"1 have been thinking," he began,
"that you would like to see the house;
some of the rooms are very handsome,
fiome of the pictures very fine."
"I should be pleased," she said, gen-
tijr.
"I have been thinking, too, that you
ought to make your choice of rooms.
My mother used a very beautiful suite
iu the western wing. You shall see
them all and judge for yourself."
"I should not like them to be very
far away from the rest of the house-
hold," she said.
"Do you believe in the Ravensmere
ghosts?" he asked, laughingly.
"I have never heard of them. But in
a large house like this I should not care
to feel that I was quite alone."
"You shall choose for yourself," he
•aid, briefly.
Perhaps the hour that followed was
the happiest that Hilddred had knowu
since her marriage.
He talked to her, and showed her
the various art treasures, the costly
pictures, the statues, the ancient ar-
mor. She was pleased and bright and
Interested In all he said. He showed
her the library, where the accumulated
treasures of so many scholars lay.
When she had seen and admired all,
he said to her:
"If all these were on the verge of
destruction, and one woman came for-
ward to save it, what would you call
her?"
"I should call her the good angel of
the house," she replied, not having the
least Idea that he was referring to her.
He bowed to her.
"That shall be my name for you,"
ho said. "You shall be the good angel
of the house."
She had chosen her rooms in the
western wwing—rooms that opened ou
to a broad beautiful terrace—from the
windows of which one saw pleasant
glimpses of garden and distant land-
scape. The housekeeper, Mrs. Hamp-
ton, showed her over the whole suite.
Lady Caraven preferred these.
"You will be lonely, my lady," she
said; "most of the Ladies Caraven
have preferred the eastern' wing."
Hildred thought to herself that there
had never been another Lady Caraven
like her. She had been married—so It
seemed from the words her husband
had just spoken—for her money; she
was not there because she was be-
loved by the master of the house, but
simply as an appendage of her money.
It mattered but little what rooms she
chose; she did not at present even feel
so much at home as did the servants iu
the house.
Your ladyship has decided, then, on
this suite?" said the housekeeper.
"Yes," said the young countess; "I
prefer them to any others. And I will
remain here now while my boxes are
unpacked. I will not go down again."
Mrs. Hampton thought her decision
strange indeed; it was the young wife's
first evening in her husband's home,
yet she preferred remaining in her
rooms while he was down-stairs.
Shall I take that message to the
earl?" she asked.
Lady Caraven looked up in some sur-
prise.
"'Oh, no!" she replied. "Ixml Cara-
ven will not expect me."
And the housekeeper, who was a
shrewd woman in her way, thought it
seemed a strange kind of marriage
w here husband and wife preferred sol
| itude to each other's society.

' n—1 "The dinner will

I tance they will not arrive until late."
I "Do you mean." she said, "that I am
' to arrange for your guests for their
1 wants and comfort?"
( "What terribly straightforward ques-
tions you ask." he replied, laughing,
i "You are sole mistress of the house

i "I have not yet learned to think of
i lryself yet as mistress of this house,"
: ne rejoined, with proud composure.
' "Then I must ask you to begin." he
aid. "You are indeed sole mistress of
| this house; every one in It is bound to
{ obey you—whatever you direct is to
be done."
"But." returned Hildred, "yesterday,
; when I went into the housekeeper's
room, she did not seem Inclined to
! t-ubmlt to my authority at all. She
said that her keys were mislaid when
1 wanted to look over the linen-press.
1 fancy that she thinks 1 am rather too
young to hold much authority."
"I will soon settle that matter," said
the earl.
He rang the bell, and in answer to
I s summons a servant came. He
sent for the housekeeper, who looked
slightly troubled at the unexpected call.
"Mrs. Hampton," said the earl, stern-
ly, " I have sent for you to say that
every order given by Lady Caraven is
to be attended to Instantly—that she is
to be obeyed implicitly as I am obeyed
myself—that the least show of disre-
spect or disobedience will be punished
by immediate dismissal. You will see
that my commands are carried out.
"I will do so, my lord."
"You will go for the future to Lady
Caraven for all your orders—you will
take them only from her."
"Thank you, my lord," said the
housekeeper, retiring with a sense ol
relief.
Hildred turned to her husband.
"And I thank you, too," she said
calmly. "I should not have spoken but
that I saw there was a disposition in
the house to ignore my authority—I
knew that you would not like that."
"Certainly not—you have done quite
right," he told her—and a sudden
sense of her cruel position came over
him. Was it likely that the servants
ould show much respect to one who
t ey could plainly see was an unloved
w. »e ?
He quitted the breakfast room not
quite satisfied with himself, and not
satisfied with her.
"Marriage is a mistake at the best
of times," he said, "but marriage for
money is the greatest mistake of all."
Exening came and brought the ex
pected guests Sir Charles Courtenay.
a young baronet who had but oue idea,
and that was love for his wife, lady
Alice Courtenay, who was pretty, live-
ly and accomplished. Hildred liked her
at once. Her face was sunny and fair,
and laughing eyes and sweet lips
made her a very attractive picture.
Mildred looked at her with something
like envy. She was charmingly
dressed, and had a bright expression
of countenance.
That evening when lady Caraven
was dressing for dinner, her faithful
maid could hardly be satisfied; she
brought out jewels, flowers, ornaments
of all kinds.
"Do wear them, my lady," she said.
"If you would but let me help you more
In your toilets! lady Courtenay Is so
beautifully dressed, do not let her have
all the admiration."
The girl had grown so sorry for her
young mistress that she sometimes
ventured to speak familiarly to her.
Mildred sat listlessly before the toilet-
table; neither jewels, flowers, nor
dresses had the least interest for her.
"I think it very probable that all the
admiration will fall to her lot whether
I take pains with my dress or not,"
she said, musingly.
"My lady," returned the gir, earnest-
ly, "you do not know how beautiful
you are—you do not indeed, if you
but take some little interest—you have
a lovely figure and bautlful hair—if
you would but care a little more!"
Lady Caraven laughed good-natured-
ly; the girl's admiration was so sin-
cere that she could not be angry.

While there are camels in the des-

land, dogs in Greenland, and caiques
among the Eskimos, Iceland will have
its ponies, who on those "pampas of
the north" will still perform the ser-
vices done by the mustangs of the
plains of Mexico, the horses of the Tar-
tars, Guachos, and even more than is
performed by any animal throughout
the world, says the Saturday Review.
Without the ponies Iceland would be
impossible to live in, and when the
last expires the Icelanders have two
alternatives—either to emigrate en
masse or to construct a system of hljdi-
ways for bicycles, an undertaking com-
pared to which all undertaken by the
Romans and the Incas of Peru in the
same sphere would be as nothing. No
let lander will walk a step if he < «n

like an alligator on land, a Texan cow-
boy or a Guacho left "afoot," or like
the Medes whom Plutarch represents
as tottering on their toes when they
dismounted from their saddles and es-
sayed to walk. Ponies are carts, are
sledges, carriages, trains, in short, are
locomotion and the only means of
transport; bales of salt fish, packages

been impelled to bring home such ol'

brought dried and with their scents
unimpaired are distilled in France and
j Germany rather than in the countries
of their origin. The most important
center of this manufacture is the little
city of Grass* near Nice and Cannes,
which, besides being a large center of
production for the distillation of
plants and woods, is the chief place

Interview* With III lit— 1 he Maine'*
Cipher (ode hihI I.u* Krmvered—
I'liotograph* of llie Wreck
Washington, Feb. 18.—The Navy
department received a dispatch this
morning from Admiral Sicard, in com-
mand of the North Atlantic squadron,
giving the detail of the court of In-
quiry to investigate the Maine disas-
ter. It is as follows: Captain Samp-
son, president of the court; Captain
Chad wick, Lieutenant Commander
Schroeder and Lieutenant Commander
Marix.
Washington, Feb. Ji. — The naval
court of inquiry appointed to investi-
gate the Maine disaster will begin its
work at Havana to-day. This news
came to the navy department from
Admiral Sicard at Key West. Captain
Sigsbce was heard from late last
night lie wired:
"Only most experienced wrecking
divers can do effective work on the
Maine. In the upper works 1 can use
service divers. Did some work to-day,
but with little success. Will do bet-
ter to-morrow. Parts of the Maine,
especially the superstructure and con-
nections, are oue confused mass of
metal."
Another brief telegram from Cap-
tain Sigsbee read: "Itaehe," which
means that the coast survey steamer
has arrived at Havana, bringing on
board aW the diving apparatus sent
from the squadron.
The newspaper reproductions of
photographs taken of the wreck were
studied with much interest by the
naval officers here.' Croat surprise
was expressed at the extent of the
wreck and the vast mass of steel and
iron heaped in the forward part of the
ship was a particular object of atten-
tion. The experts who hud first
ventured the theory of a bursting
boiler as the cause of the destruc-
tion claim to find .strong reinforce-
ments iu the pictures for that
belief. The great mass of metal
appears to be thrown up over the
boiler space and not over the forward
magazine, while the forcing apart of
the forward body of the hull, they
say, might have been accomplished by
the enormous expansive power of the
high pressure steam carried in these
boilers with their shells more than an
inch thick. As to what caused a boiler
to explode; whether a disguised bomb
in the coal, low water or faulty con-
struction, they do not now undertake
to say.
Captain Sigsbee to-day sent two tel-
egrams to the navy department on the
subject of interviews with him. The
first merely said: "I have consist-
ently refrained from expressing any
opinion of the Maine disaster."
Later in the day he wired: "No
newspaper divers have been used ou
the wreck of the Maine. Ono man en-
gaged by uie was subsequently bought
up by a newspaper. I declined his
services. Subsequently on his being
unconditionally released,I miirhthave
used him in charge of an officer in re-
covering bodies, but decided not to do
so. Any interviews with me, if print-
ed, are untrue."
MAGAZINE I> 11» NOT It LOW UP.
Lieutenant Commander liurm-tt of the
Survey float- llache ?iilk*.
Havana, Feb. 21 —Lieutenant Com-
mander Harnett of the survey boat
Bache said yesterday:
"You want the facts? I can tell
i you, there are ninety-five chances out
of a hundred that the investigation
will show that the forward magazine
i>f the Maine did not blow up first, if
't exploded nt all. and that it was not
the cause of the terrible consequences
that followed. The condition of the
wreck when first studied, and a later
careful scrutiny, makes this an almost
absolute certainty."
Chaplain Chid wick, of t lie Maine,
has recovered considerable sums of
money with letters and other personal
property from the bodies taken from
the wreck. In one case the initials
can bo seen on the coat lining and
may serve to identify the body of the
wearer, but the harbor water is so
filthy that the marks are nearly illeg-
ible. Chaplain Cbidwlck is. one of the
hardest worked officers, and upon him
devolved some of the most repulsive
duties of the situation.
