ONE SCANDAL DIES WITH THE YEAR | nearly But the Dreyfus Case Is Yet Dragging Along. No Serious Charge Has Been Elicited Against Count Esterhazy.

Beginning Monday at 9 O J® | ments, but we will be frank. with PARIS, Jan. 1.—The o0ld . year has} seen out, apparently, the Panama scan- | ( dal and what ig hoped to have been’the| worst phase of the Dru)Ius-Esterhazy: affaijr. In regard tg the Drevfus. case, public ement: has dwindled down consid- bly The opinion ‘is universal that investigation. conducted by Com- mandant vary-has:elicited no serious charge against Count Esterhazy. It is expected thdt, armed’ with a verdict exonerating him, Count Estérhazy will institute civil ~ proceedings: against Mathien Dreyfus, who, with his brother Leon, is the subject of an inquiry by amining = Magistrate -Bertulus on charges of having attempted.to corrupt an official. Some time ago the asser- tion was made that-Mathieu and Leon Dreyfus had offered a heavy bribe - to the late Colonel Sandherr, who played an important -part in . the: proceedings of the court-martial, with a view to in- fluencing his attitude in regard to their. brot . This story was indignantly contradicted by Mathieu Dreyfus, who announced his intention- of . taking steps for libel against a - newspaper which published the story and against the widow of Colonel Sandherr. A couple of da passed, however, and Dreyfus took no move to start legal proceeding: It v then - surmised that he had been really bluffing, and rore than confirmed by gistrate Bertulus has at. the instance -of exc that M its pension abus stance, and it is roundly denounced by papers as ent inadequate - in the case of a widow Of a general.who gloriously upheld the honor of France through good and evil days: The Figaro contrasts the smallness this sum with the large pensions ived by the widows of certain parliamentary civil officia No successor has yet been named to Carvalho manager of the -Opera Comique, but Albert Car the pre: ent manager of the Theatres du Gym- nase and Du Vaudeville, is believed. to have the best chances. Some weeks ago I cabled you of the citement produced by the arrest of a large band of marauders who “oper- ated” chiefly in the neighborhood of | Neuilly bridge. Subsequent investiga- tion revealed the existence of pther dangerous gangs, the last of which is now securely under lock and key. The | last band arrested numberéd no . le than thirty-three, the eldest of whom i 10t more than 21 years of age. -Almost nnumerable crimes of robbery with violence are attributed to the young ruffians. The scene of their operations was, as I stated, chiefly in the suburbs near the river. In this connection it is pointed out that during the months- of May, June and July last no fewer than fi hree corp were fished out sine. far the greater number have been foully murdered. According to the last report of -the Board of Trade there were in Britain 2,000,000 farm - horses, about 10,000,000 ' cattle, more than sheep and something like 4,000,000 pig: —_— B e 2,000.000 pigs. NEW TO-DAY. Beauty is the power vates the strongest. na- tures. A woman’s personal at- tractiveness is the weapon with which she conquers het world. Almost every woman believes that she possesses at least some one attractive feature and strives to make the mostof that. But mere regularity of feature is not the most attractive form of beauty. Mankind is more influencer} by the bright glowing vitality of perfect health. A classic Cast of countenance will not make a woman attractive and captivating, if she is pale, thin, weak and nervous, or has a pimply complexion or unwholesome breath. icse complaints are due to imperfect nutrition. The digestive and blood-making | oreans. fail to extract the needed nourish- § mens from the food, and the liver is too slug- ©ish to cleanse the blood of bilious impug- ties. The entire constitution becomes weak and poisoned. « only perfect antidote for this state of | things is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medi¢al Dis- \covery. It gives power to the digestive and Ritri Ve organs to make an abundance of ure, rich, highkly vitalized blood, which rmeates the whole system with the sweet- 5s of purity; the beauty of womanly vigor animation, creates solid, healthy flesh and natural ; clears the complexion; dispels wrink- ounds out the form and imbues the whie physique with the irresistible natural magitisi of perfect health. : isjulia Ellis, of Faith, McLean C * After suffering foy .hi‘mx{:.while it disease, I was advised totry Dr. Pierce's .- 1 took seven bottles o?the * Golden cry” anc corite Prescription ' relief.
