''HOT 4 NATIONAL UNITY"

Senator 31cDoNAtD, Of Indiana, in Ills
Whereaseg and resolutions, declares that tho
"people Of the United Statcs aro not
a national unity, in tho ordinary Sense of
TINT ter1n.' .And he gives ns reasou there

Warrn0th,s Duel.

The presence of Ex-Governor Warmoth, of
Louisiana, in this city has, not unnaturally,
given rise to mysterious rumor, circulated
with extreme caution and secrecy, that he
was here with the purpose of arranging q
hostile meeting on the Canadian frontier
with Mr.. Jewell. of the New Orleans
Bulletin. to settle their quarrel by the use
of Derringers, at ten PAGES, under the duel
ling code. 1t was said that s'the other
principal was also hiding in this city, and
that the affair had gone so far that it only
waited for the appearance of Mr.. Jewell's
friend, who had been summoned from
Louisville, Kentucky, to attend him to the
field for the arbitrament Of arms. ThiG
promised sensation, butt 1t is spoiled BY
the simple fact that Mr.. Jewell was last
night in New Orleans and the difficulty
with Warmoth was ended. JEWELS seconds
had abandoned him and he has no connec.
ton with the Bulletin whatever. If War.
moth waits for him he is likely to take
''cofee for one" many times before he need
call "pistols for two."-Ne'c York Herald.

history in Ateuis.

"sOEy ~ SV LOUISE
The Missouri Historical Society recently
held meeting for the election Of officers.
Speeches were indulged in, several bottles
of wine were opened and drank, the local
reporter says, and there is no doubt of the
success of the institution. A ream of litho.
graph heading letter paper, with views of
the fair grounds and great bridge were do
mated by one of the newspapers. A city
directory was also presented to the society
by a gentleman. Another gentleman, who
wanted to be remembered for his good
deeds, also presented title deed, bearing
the ancient date of 1925 An autograph let
ter Of Edwin Booth, not very rare in finan-
cial circles. was placed in the archives by q
gentleman who remarked that Sin 100 years
from now it would be as valuable relic as
scrap of Garrack's writing is to-day" The
bridge, if it stands twenty years, will also
be valuable relic. A Mr.. Todd, on behalf
of a friend, contributed an empty claret
bottle which bore the imperial stamp of the
Emperor of France. The history of the
bottle is that it was secured when the
effects of Napoleon III. were seized and
sold at auction. Mr.. Todd confessed that
he had drunk of the wine which had been
in the bottle, and wittily remarked that it
imbued him somewhat with the spirit of
Cesarism." The reporter failed to put
[laughter] in brackets; but the bottle prob
ably caused smile. Chicago should imme-
diately look to its lsurels, and establish a
society that will eclipse st. Louis in relics
and historical richness. New Orleans can
never hope to compete with the great bridge
city in antiquarian deposits.
