No words, no sketch, can convey the impression given by this gait of a man who for years has trod in a circle within an enclosed space 16 inches wide. It matters not that room is not now measured out to him with such parsimony he still has the air of one who is afraid to knock up against the palisade in the right or the palisade on the left hand, lie is walking yet on a narrow plank.

And his eye, too, lias retained the habit of not looking around, of seeing only the palisades and a strip of sky. These are the look and the gait of a man condemned to stride wearily on, all his life through, to a bourne he knows naught of. They are ihe look and the gait of a toy fate. When seated his immobility reminds one again of a painter's lay figure, put down upon a chair, with the dislocated limbs bent haphazard. From time to time, but rarely, the lay figure pulls itself up, as if it had received an electric shock, and we hear a few words that do not seem to come from his mouth, that come from somewhere far away, from behind him, from behind lU'e itself even; and then he becomes motionless once more.

And this lasts almost to the end of the sitting, until this mysterious being returns by the way by which he made his appearance; goes off with the same disjointed step, the blue eye ever fixed straight in front, in space, in the unknown the eye of the andering Jew, who is hazily dreaming of the last stage of his journeyings. CURIOUS FEATURE OF TRIAL. Sleepy Correspondents Take a Nap When There is a Lull in the Proceedings. Rennes, Aug. 20.

Among the curious features of the trial there is one that is quite unique and which never fails to surprise and amuse the casual spectator. Whenever there is a few minutes' lull on account of inaudible (if iin in tereI i tr tesrilrumv the MJIlli iimmiillv tiwi tn lcen find ir fre quently happens that a witness testifies amid a chorus of snores. It happened early this week that two journalists of international reputation, while enjoyintr a quiet nap, dropped their heavy canes with a geat crash to the floor. The audience awoke startled, some jumping to their feet, thinking in their dazed condition that some outrage had been attempted. Since then the gendarmes have carefully gathered up all sticks and umbrellas, partly, of course, to prevent their use as weapons in case of a renewed outbreak of passion similar to that of last Monday.

The explanation of this peculiarity of the Rennes court martial is the fact that nine tenths of the audienci is composed of correspondents, whose duties keep them abroad until 1 o'clock in the morning. They are obliged to rise again at 5, and it really reouires an unbroken series of exciting incidents in the court to enable them to resist tha overpower sleepiness which seizes them when interest Hags. ATTACHES TO AID DREYFUS? Report That They Will Send to the Court Martial I'roof of His Innocence. Paris, Aug. 20.

Les Droits de l'Homme, which foretold Col. I'aniz zardi's denial of relations with Dreyfus, asserts that other foreign attaches and diplomatic agents have resolved to intervene and turn over documents to the Dreyfus court martial which will help that tribunal to form a decisive conclusion. The same paper says that proceedings will be taken against a certain personage for forgery and also against Generals Mercier and ltoget for making use of forgeries. NO CASE AGAINST DREYFUS.

THEY SEE OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PACIFIC AND WANT AN AMERICAN MERCHANT MARINE.

Washington, Aug. 20. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson expresses himself as weil pleased with his Western trip from which he has just returned. He visited a number of beet sugar factories and studied the details of their workings. The secretary believes that it is Important to get Just as much as possible out of each product, and he suggests that from the beet product there could not only be made the sugar, but the pulp should be used in the dairy to increase the butter product.

There was, he said, no doubt in his mind that this could be successfully done. He is convinced that the production of sugar cane in Utah and some of the other Western states could be made a profitable industry, for while beet sugar could be produced for approximately ZVt, cents a pound, cane sugar could be made for two cents. By the introduction of and successful raising of cane these states would have another profitable crop to the planters and another paying industry would be added. While the present tariff," said the secretary, "gives a fair profit to the producer, yet it can be realized clearly that it should be the aim of all to lessen the expense of production so as to meet a situation which might arise should some subsequent administration lessen the protection of the producer. Should the effort now being made to open the ports of the China Sea to the agricultural products of this country be successful, the farmers of the Pacific coast would be greatly profited by reason of a good market for a largely increased production." The principal forest reserves of the country are in the West, and the secretary is anxious that new forests be planted to take the plaee of those destroyed by reason of fires and the cutting of trees for lumber.

These forest reserves, not being policed properly, are easy prey for squatters and hunters of valuable lumber timber. It is not a diilicult matter for large inroads to be made on the trees before the depredations are discovered. Secretary Wilson said: There are no anti expansionists in the West. The people understand the subject better than those of the East, and realize the necessity of protecting our large and growing trade with the Orient. Dewey went to Hong Ivong for the protection of our shipping and destroyed the Spanish rleet to prevent it from attacking ot commerce.

An extraordinary impetus has been given to the commerce of this country in the Orient by Dewey's victory and the acquisition of the Philippines. Our merchant marine on the Pacific coast is inadequate for the trade, and the docks at all Pacific ports are piled up with goods awaiting shipment. "The Department of Agriculture is now sending butter and cheese to six different ports in the Orient in Japanese ships and the government is sending whole cargoes of goods in ships which do not lly the American The general interest which the United States has in this Oriental trade was demonstrated to me when I boarded a ship loading at Tacoma. I found in the cargo lumber, wheat and flour from Washington; butter and eggs from Iowa and Michigan; fruit from California; steel from Alabama; cotton goods from the Carolinas; bicycles from Chicago; notions from New England, and something from every state of the I'nion. "These goods were being sent to China and Japan, and nearly every industry in the United States was represented.

Goods of every description are being rushed across the country to Pacific ports for the Oriental trade. One of the great needs this commerce is a system of American counting houses and banks to handle our business with these people. The shipbuilding of the Pacific coast will be greatly advanced as the result of the acquiring of the Philippines. What the Pacific states lack can be furnished by the Philippines. The Facifie coast lacks coal and hardwood, which are found in large quantities in the Philippines, and can be brought in return cargoes cheaper than they can De hauled by rail from the East.

"There is plenty of money for the building of an American merchant marine and the people of the West want these ships built.

With These Weapons a Belvidere Boy Terorizes His Parents and Clears Out Their Home. New York, Aug. 20 Frederick Schwartz, IS years old, of Belvidere, N.

was sent to the Warren county Jail yesterday to await the action of the grand jury on a charge of assault preferred against him by his mother. Young Schwartz is the son of Gott leib Schwartz, and he seems to have devoted himself for some time making trouble for his aged parents. His father keeps a supply of liquors in his cellar. The young man, after doing all he could to reduce his father's supply by drinking it, smashed his mother's crockery, drove her from the house with an axe and then, seizing a shotgun, compelled his father to act as bartender at a temporary bar he established on the front veranda of the family home. These stirring proceedings took place on Friday afternoon, and Mrs.

Schwartz, unwilling longer to submit to her young son's domination, asked the police to arrest him. This proved to be no easy task. From the bar on the front veranda Schwartz had drank enough liquor to make him fighting mad, and he fought against arrest as desperately as he had proceeded against his father and mother. Policeman Shay, who was sent to arrest the young man, was unable to take him prisoner by force. He had to resort to strategy.

Young Schwartz held him at bay for some time, but Shay, who was once a "cow puncher" in Montana, obtained a lasso and succeeded in throwing Frederick to the ground. Shay then sat down on the young man and finally took him to the police station. Mrs. Schwartz, when she appeared in court against her son, explained that he had caused his parents great trouble for several months. He announced his intention of "cleaning out" the house on Friday afternoon, and began by breaking all the looking glasses.

He then devoted his energies to the family crockery. Mrs. Schwartz protested, and was directed by young Schwartz to "mind her own business." As he preceeded with the work of destruction she made another effort to save some of the household goods, with the result that Frederick chased her from the house with an axe. The young man then returned to the house and used the axe on some of the furniture and decided to open a bar on the front veranda. He ordered his aged father to act as bartender, telling him to go to the cellar and bring up all of the liquors there.

Mr. Schwartz worked as long as his strength would permit and then relaxed his efforts. This aroused the young man's anger. He got a shotgun and with it forced his father to continue the work. Young Schwartz kept drinking while this was going on.

with the result that he finally lost control of the situation, and his father escaped and notified the police. Mr. Schwartz was unable to appear in court when his son was arraigned. DIDN'T LIKE DEWEY'S PICTURE. It Was Turned to the Wall by the Democrats of Queens County.

New York, Aug. 20. Admiral George Dewey's picture has been turned to the wall by the managers of the outing of the United Democratic clubs of the borough of Queens simply, it is said, because the admiral expressed his loyalty to President McKinley and hoped he would be re elected. The outing is to be held in Assemblyman Wissel's grove in Ridgewood. Several thousand tickets were issued.

The centre piece of the ticket was an excellent portrait of Admiral Dewey surrounded by a wreath. It was not until the tickets began to circulate at Rockaway Beach that trouble began to brew for the outing committee. Certain members of the Democratic club In that ward objected to the admiral's picture gracing the tickets. They said the admiral was not a Democrat; that they had read in the papers that he had expressed a high regard for President McKinley and a desire to see him reelected. I'cmalids were finally made on the outing eooiliilllee to reral Ithe obnoxious 11, uty tickets and have others printed, minus the admiral's picture.

The committee was induced to recall the Dewey tickets. More than l.eito had been sold when word was sent to the various clubs of the borough, notifying them that the first issue of tickets would be recalled owing to an error in the printing. Some of the old time Democrats objected to the taking down of the admiral's picture. They said Dewey belonged to no parly, but to the people, and they had as much right to claim him as any one.

A NEW DEPARTMENT OF SCIENTIFIC PEDAGOGY TO BE ESTABLISHED IN CHICAGO SCHOOLS. Chicago, 111., Aug. 20. A new department is to be created in the Chicago public schools, to be known as tha: of scientific pedagogy and child study, with a special supervisor and assistants in charge of it. The child study work is highly approved of by the members of the Board of Education.

Dr. W. S. Christopher, chairman of the special committee on the subject, has just completed a report covering experiments made with children in the Alcott, Burr, Hoyne and an ungraded school as to their weight, height, endurance power, air or lung capacity, grip (right and left hands), sight and hearing capacity. In all about 1,400 children were examined.

Prof. F. W. Smedley, of the University of Chicago, and Prof. Victor Campbell, of the public schools, conducted the experiments.

The erograph, the child fatigue testing machine, showed in experiments with 1,400 school children that girls 16 or IT years old had far less endurance power than boys of the same age, while in children between 8 and 9 years old the endurance power of the girl was the same as that of the boy. After years the girls' endurance decreased and that of the boys' increased. TO SEPARATE THE SEXES. In the erographic test the child was required to lift with its middle finger seven per cent, of its actual weight for 90 seconds. The erograph registered by tracings the endurance power of the child.

Its use immediately revealed the neurotic shild, the child of highly strung nerves and irregular capacity for work. One of the important questions submitted to the Board of Education is: After a certain age is reached should the girls and boys of the public schools be separated in their school work and different tasks be assigned to each? As a result of the tests, Dr. Christopher believes that after a certain age girls should not study with boys, nor carry in the school work the same burdens put upon the boys. HEIGHT AND WEIGHT TESTS. The measurements for heights show ed that there is an intimate relation between intellectual capacity and height.

As a rule a child of normal height at a given age was found to be of stronger intellectual capacity than a child of less height at the same The same rule was found to apply to weight. A child of healthful intellectual capacity was found to be of normal weight for its age. This led Dr. Christopher to suggest that the test for the first admission of a child to school should be upon its weight and not its age, as at present. Investigation was made of how the strength of the child varied during school hours.

At 9 o'clock it was fair, at 10 strong, at 11 decreasing, and at noon it was exhausted. A slight revival was shown at 1 o'clock, it was fairly good at 2 and a second decline was observed at 3 o'clock. Tests were made of the dull, stupid and unmanageable children of an ungraded school. In every particular but lung capacity they fell below the well fed and disciplined children of the Alcott school. TO COMPROMISE DEBT.

Property Owners Appoint a Committee to Confer With Holders of Bonds. Santa Fe, N. Aug. 20. The property owners of Santa Fe county held a mass meeting in the court house last night, and appointed a committee to offer a compromise to the creditors and bondholders of Santa Fe county bonds.

The offer will probably not be more than 25 cents on the dollar, and perhaps only eight cents on the dollar. The county debt is over $877,000, and its taxable real and personal property a little over Jl, 713,000. Most of the bonds are held in New Y'ork city. A suggestion to repudiate the debt because it is above the four per cent, limit allowed by law was indignantly rejected by unanimous consent of the taxpayers. Over half of the bondholders some time ago offered to compromise for 60 cents on the dollar, and one Donanoiaer last evening was willing to accept a 23 cent compromise.

Most of the indebtedness was incurred for the Denver and Rio Grande and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad construction in the county about ten years ago.
