How the EeOtSy aiks Should be

Editor StGr:-Please allow me to ask through
your paper: Is there no law compelling owners
OF unoccupied houses and vacant lots to clean
the snow. etc. from their side-pavementS, Or
are they allowed to let only rain or sunshine do
IL for them? Ii taxes can be collected from
those owners, no matter if their houses are Oc-
cupled or not, or their lots built upon, why do
not the city authorities keep the side pavement
clean and collect the cost the same as taxes?
This would give not only work for some poor
men, but the lives OF the rich and poor would
be less endangered. A SUFFERER

BENNETT ANDmAY.
A Statement Rejecting Very Credi-
tabIy Upon Esennett's Conduct
i'm the Celebrated EN-
rnrHaIRr

The n. Y. Times prints the true
story ofthe Bennett-May duel. given
on the authority of George Wilkes,
editor of the Spirit of the Times,
who received it from DIR. Phelps,
the surgeon on the occasion. The
story is entirely creditable to Ben
nett. DIR. Phelps says that it was
plain on the morning of the affair
that Bennett was there to fight.
Both parties had their own pistols.
Benefits were new, with all the
latest Improvements. Mays were
very old, and as it afterwards turn
ed out, hard upon the trigger. The
one that Bennett got was SO at least.
The party took their places, and the
word was given to fire. The direc-
tions were after the word ''fire" and
not after the word ''three." Almost
instantly upon the word "fire,
May shot. zone, two, three" fol-
lowed, and Bennett, who pulled at
his trigger with the best will in the
world, did not succeed in getting
his weapon off. He was baffled by
the stiffness of the lock. 1t was an
exciting moment. No one who
looked at his eye, as it bore straight
across the angry wound his oppO-
nent had inflicted upon his face a
few days before, could doubt what
Bennett intended to do, but the pis-
tol exhausted the Zone, two, three"
by its reluctance and dropped harm
| leSsly by his side. His second in
terp0sed, and claimed that as Ben
net had suffered his risk and disad-
vantage, through no fault of his
own, he was entitled to a return
shot at May. The claim, being ac-
! cOrding to rule, was allowed, and
May took his place empty handed
before Benefits pistol. The disk
of the weapon covered him as the
word was given, but Benefits face
changed as he saw his opponent at
his mercy. And before the signal
words were counted out, he had for
given him and fred in the air. This
Terminated the proceedings. AS
the party left the ground, Bennett
said to the sergeon: "Well DIR. do
you think | did right ?'' 81 should
have been sorry to have killed any
man at my mercy" was the ans
wer. "But," CHANGING attheshining,
fresh scar across Benefits nose ;
"but withs such pistol hand as yours
l should have been terribly tempt
ed to wing him." eat any rate, F."
said Mr.. Wilkes, ''his couduct was
generous, and his opponents should
have been glad to take any re-
spOnsibility of prosecution, if that
is what governed them, to save him
from being DETAINED and branded
as a coward. The gift of life was
worth certainly as much as that" 1t
may be added that Bennett, still
wears the red mark left by the scar
on his nose.

The New Orleans Times of a
recent date publishes the following:
How sad it is to look back through
the dim vista of seventy-five years
gone glimmering, and see that Lord
Palmerson was the very first clerk
of a fiat boat in 1903. The business
between this city and Nashville,
via river, will never be revived.
The disastrous explosion of the
David White in 1867, and the kill
ing of DIR. H. B. Shaw, her master
and owner, forever ended the ex-
pertinent of runninga through boat
between the two cities. The fine
boats that once fiOurished in that
trade have long since disappeared,
their officers are nearly all dead,
and but few of our readers will re-
member the following named cap

age, stood their last watch, and now
