The most disinterested and com-
mendable work ever done by Zola
was his powerful Interposition in
favor of the unfortunate Dreyfus. His
philliples against the clique which
made a scapegoat of Dreyfus attracted
j the attention of the world to the case,
| and, Incidentally, to the imbecility of
| the military and judicial system prev-
alent In France. He devoted the most
of his life to the acquisition of (he
1800,000, but when he died he did not
take the money with him.
-----—
One of the finest compliments ever
given a football team was paid to the
Trinity College boys of Waxahachie
by a commercial traveler on yester-
daay. "I was on the sleeper from
Dallas, en route for Austin,” said the
gentleman, “and at Waxahachie eight-
een members of the Trinity College
team came aboard the Pullman. I had
read somewhere in a paper about it
being possible to civilize a football
player, but I did not believe it; so
when the Trinity boys came aboard I
naturally supposed that fact put an
end to sleep for the night. Fancy my
surprise when I listened In vain for
any noise or disturbance. The boys
were simply quiet as lambs, and I
never in my life saw more genteel and
courteous gentlemen.” If that was
not a line tribute, what would you
call it?
Zola is reported to have left a for-
tune of four millions of francs, or, os
computed in our money, about $800,
000. This is a vast sum to have been
coined by an author’s pen. It is a sad
commentary on the taste of the public,
since it Illustrates the melancholy
fact that people of both the old and
the new world buy nasty and sensa-
tional books more readily than those
of merit and purity. The novels of
Zola are, as a rule, grossly realistic
pictures of the lowest obscene stratum
of French life. They are not devoid
of a certain power, but that very
power of his presentation of the
scenes he depicts makes his works the
more intensely repulsive to one of re-
fined and cultivated taste. He has
done much to deprave morals and
to lower standards of propriety In
France. He will continue to bear the

Texas affords many opportumities

ARMY SIGNAL CORPS WORK.
Washington. Nov. 4.—The annual
report of Gen. A. E. Greeley, chief
signal officer of the army, says the
corps has actually built and put in
working order in Alaska 1122 miles of
land lines and submarine cables within
a period of twenty-four months.
Speaking of improvements effected
by the corps in Cuba, General Greeley
says:
"It Is unquestioned that on occupy-
ing Cuba the American army found a
few dilapidated telegraph lines. In
leaving Cuba there was turned over
to the government a system of 3500
miles,"

dow she got inside where her husband

used her ax quick and hard and be-
fore the occudants of the room coul

had demolished most of (he furniture

She says he has been frequenting the

She resolved to take the taw in her

No arrests have been made.

Greater New York exceeded 115,000, aj
surplus of 6000 above the claim made
by Charlee F. Murphy, leader of Tam-
many Hall, but even that large vote]
was not sufficient to overcome the re-,
publican majority from up the state,
odell’e vote in the country districts
was lighter than two years ago, but
Coler’s was also lighter than Stans-
field’s. In New York City Coler’s pl-
rality was approximately 117.500, made
up as follows: New York couptv
83,000; Kings county, 26,500; Queenfl
county, 5500. and Richmond, 2800. J
oyeter Bay, where President Roose
velt’s country home is situated and
where he voted today, was carried bk
Coler, his plurality being 131. Tw
years ago odell’s plurality was 512. 1

Hon. T. M. Norwood, ex-United
States senator from Georgia, has de-
scribed the carpet-bagger in * forcible
way. It must be understood that the
south extends a welcoming hand to
worthy northern men who make their
homes with us. We prize their thrifty
ways and energetic methods. We
recognize their possession of every
political right that we enjoy, includ-
ing the right to run for office and to
be defeated. We do not quarrel with
them for their political errors, If they
be republicans, nor question their dis-
position to ride on the water wagon
if they be prohibitionists. If they
think that Grant was a greater man
than Lee, we do not resent their lack
of discrimination, and if they read
their children a chapter of the life of
Abraham Lincoln, instead of'a chap-

Today's election followed a campaig

the leaders on both sides, was remark
able for. the lack of interest taken b
the public. Almost the only points a

were the coal plank in the democrat]
