LONDON, Nov. 20.—The Pall Mall Ga- zette this afternoon publishes a dispatch from Paris saying that the Meline ministry had a hairbreadth escape in the chamber of deputies yesterday, adding: ”At one mo- ment its best friends had abandoned all hope, and nothing but the patriotism ani- mating a number of deputies, independent- ly of party politics, saved it from downfall. The domineering tone of General Billot in his statement'concerning the Dreyfus case roused the hostility 'Of the chamber, and M. Melina at first declined to supplement Billot’s statement until he noticed that his own friends were deserting him. Finally he accepted the compromise in the form of a modification of M. Castelin’s motion calling upon the government to take ac¥ tion in the case and expressing confidence that the government would seek to punish. the intriguers. There was an animated discussion afterward in the lobbies, where it was the general impression that the gov- ernment would be forced to' order new prosecutions in connection with the Drey— fus case; that it was preposterous for the country to pay £2,500 yearly or the pris- oner’s keeping. and that it would have been better to have shot him. ” PARIS, Nov. 20. -— Le .Iaurnal today says it understands that in consequence of the debate on the Dreyfus case in the chamber of deputies yesterday the minis— ter of justice, M. Darlan, has instructed the public prosecutor to reopen the inquiry into the affair. BOOM IN THE CAROLINAS. Cotton Mills Resuming “’ork and Many ‘ to Increase Capacity. GREENSBORO, N. 0., Nov. 20.—Since the election the various cotton mills which had suspended operations—some of which had not resumed work since shutting down to curtail production, according to the agreement made at the Atlanta meeting Of southern cotton manufacturers early in the summer—have been resuming work until now about every cotton mill in both North and South Carolina is running, nearly or quite all of them on full time and not a few on double time. Several of the best known mills have announced that they will double the capacity of their plants without delay. The Spartan mill at Spartansburg will increase its capital from $500,000 to $1,000,000. There are between 15 and 20 new mills in course of construction in the two Carolinas. The completion of some of these became a mat- teroi’ doubta month or two before the election, but active work on all of them has now been resumed, and the mill men are expecting a busy and profitable sea~ son’s work. Other manufacturing interests in this section show the same feeling, among them the big new Greensboro iron and steel plant, fires in whose furnaces were lighted for the first time last week.

Robert Montgomery of Wanamie. near Wilkesbnrre, died under very pe‘ culiar circumstances, and evidently from fright or a belief that he had been warned of his approaching death by a wraith. and that he had a pre- monition that he cOuld not live. For years Montgomery was employed as pump runner in No. 18 colliery of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Com- pany at \Vanamie. He was a brave soldier in the late war, and was not easily frightened. Two weeks before his death he said that while he was attending to his‘ work he heard a pecu‘ liar noise in the "l ‘10.. He paid no at- tention to it at I n. time. - A few minutes inter a peculiar feel- ing came over 1m ' s though there was an awful draugl irculating through the mine and he ‘ecame chilly. He looked up from h 5 work, as he had just started to oi‘. the machinery, at the repetition of the strange noise. .He claimed he felt as though there was some one else about besides himself. He could not see any one, and strained his eyes far into the dark recesses, Then he beheld a white object about the size of a man. It moved about as though floating in the air and kept a certain distance from him. He spoke to the strange apparition\’ several times. but not a sound came from it, and it soon disappeared from view, keeping its face toward him all the time. Montgomery at once made a search, but failed to find any one lurking or hiding about, and he was in a quan- dary to explain the matter. He was very much affected, and told his friends he regarded the wraith as an omen of death. He at once gave up his position and a couple of days later took to his bed. although he had no specific sickness which the doctors could discover. He continued to talk of the wraith, and said itv'as of no avail to take medicine or curefor him- self. that he was doomed, and might as well reconcile himself to death. ‘ Some of his friends tried to dispel his thoughts about death, by saying it was a man sent in by the company to see if he performed his duty. But the deceased would never believe any- thing else but that it was the omen of death. and grow gradually weaker un- til the death he had looked for came early one morning—Philadelphia Press. Her Fortune in Stamps. There is a woman in New York to- day who actually posseses the round sum Of $100,000, and is nevertheless as poor as the poorest wretch who has just been deposited in the street by a not tender sherifi. Her husband had been very rich, and Wes supposed to be a shrewd man. He met the \Vaterloo of his career when he converted all his savings—some g2125,000—in the purchase of Columbian stamps when they were first issued. with a view of selling them afterward ht aTiiremium. He had great expecta- tions, but they failed to materialize. The panic came on and money grew scarce. He died shortly afterward. {I much disappointed man, leaving his whole estate, appraised at $100,000‘to his wife. This estate consists of stamps, from a penny upward. Now comes what you may call a paradox of life. His widow, who has all her life been accustomed to all the luxuries, a loving husband and all that wealth can procure, suddenly found herself as poor as any washerwoman with nothing in this world to support her but a pair of strong, willing hands. There were pressing debts, terms overdue, and bills galore. The poor woman was in despair. She tried to sell the stamps in big batches,, but failed to realize more than $2,000, which hardly covered the expenses of burial and probating the will. “As a last resort we applied to the Postmaster General, offering to sell the stamps or exchange them for oth- ers used at present. We received a short reply. It stated briefly that ‘neither this department nor its postmasters will redeem or ex- change postage stamps.’ ”——New York Herald. A PARIS SUGGESTION. ..' -..

Yale Kickers Confident. NEW HAVEN, Nov. 19.—0n the Yale campus today there was evident today an air of supreme confidence in the ability of the Yale football eleven to wrest the vic- tory from Princeton on Saturday.

It was the evening of the first anni- versary 'of their wedding day. ~ “I suppose, my dear, that a year ago today was the happiest of your life, as it was of mine.” cooed she' as she nestled up alongside of her hus- band. "‘Y-e-e-s-s, my darling, I presume it was,” he responded, hesitatingly. “Presume it was, indeed! I like that. Now, don’t, you know that it was, dearest?! “Oh, yes, yes; of course, of course. But there were drawbacks, you know, and I felt a bit more comfortable 3, year ago tomorrow, say. No Offense at all, you know, darling, but I can’t think of our wedding anniversary without recalling what a guy I must have appeared that day riding down to the station with an old shoe wound with white ribbons on top of the cab and how uncomfortable I was when picking the grains of rice cut of my ears and whiskers.” h - on AGenuine Kleptomaniae. ' A case of genuine kleptomania has just come to light in Paris, where a woman_named Bide has stolen 2,600 pipes because she happened to have a mania therefor. She is herself very fond of smoking, and has a' passion for coloring meerschhum pipes. When the police descended upon the flat where she lives they found the 2,600 pipes all neatly arranged on racks. She had succeeded in coloring thirty-nine of them. The French Court, however, was as skeptical as Recorder God on the subject of klep- tomania, and sent the unfortunate wo- man to prison for eight months-New York Journal. “i 7 and Tidy ellmm" 1i shaking it.
