M0uth with n Bullet.

II somebody did not go to the hospital cut,
slashed or shot TO pieces or II somebody was
not hustled into cell for cutting, slashing or
wounding somebody, II would not seem like
Sunday. Now, this was the feeling that got
the best of 2, Parrellie and Louis Fernandez
at o'clock last evening, on Cont street, be-
tween Where and Robertson. and they met in
mortal combat Now Parfiellie Is an ind-
vidual that banks very little on the muscle,
but stands second to none on the draw.
The two men met as above stated and re-
newe an old quarrel Of some months stand
Ing. Both waxed wroth, and as words went
high and harsh Fernandez dealt his antag
onist blow, who in return drew his pistol
and dwelling 1t at Fernandez head, fired. The
moment the ball left the pistol the wounded
man reeled and fell to the pavement The
ball had penetrated his mouth and had made
its exit through one Of his cheeks.
The report Of the pistol brought Corporal
Broadhead to the scene, who arrested the &C
cused ami locked tim up IN tire Fourth Pre-
Cinct Station on the charge Of shoot ng and
wouDding with intent to commit murder.
The wounded man was removed to his resi-

Yilere, where he received medical attention
The wounded man was unable to make a
statement. The physician, DIR. DeBaurette
who was in attendance stated that the wound
was severe and painful, though not danger

The accused was visited at the station, but
declined to make q statement until he haC
seen his attorney.

"Pagan Eioauence.,,

Editor Star:-Your editorial on what Won
choose to denOm1nate pagan ElOauence al
luding TO Colonel Ingersoll's grafton over his
dead brothers bier, impreSseS me as being as
unwarranted In logic as 1t was ill-tIned and
out OF place. The sentiments Of the article
may have been orthodox, but they most Ger
tainly were devoid Of christian charity. You
assume that Colonel Ingersoll does not believe
In futurity. This is an Unauthorized gratuity
He has never said so, to my knowledge, and no
such deduction can be made from the Grafton
which is made the subject OF your article On
the contrary, he twice In the Grafton gives elO-
Quent expression OF hope Of life beyond the
'.mystery OF DEATH" What more beautiful ex.
preston OF a hope Of Immortality could be
clothed In words than Is implied In this SEN
tence: '.Re climbed the heights and left all su-
perstitioDs far below, while On his forehead fell
the golden dawning OF a grander day." Aud
again: ''ln the night Of death hope sees star,
and listening love can hear the rustic OF
wing" Surely this Is no rhetorical flour
ish Of show. IL was the outpouring OF q
grand ard noble heart and mind in loving
tribute TO the memory of dearly loved dead
brother, and sympathetic consolation to weep
ing kindred, but there Is no reason to assume
that the orator was betrayed into Inconsistent
cies or hypocrisy by his emotions. 1t does not
necessarily follow that a rejection OF the dog
ma OF the divine inspiration OF the scriptures
carries with IL belief that death Is synony-
nous with sannthiiatiOn," as you intimate II
a man may be pagan" and yet hope for a
grander day beyond this narrow vale, and adopt
as the bulwark Of his creed that ''happlness Is
the only good, reason the only torch, Justice
the only worship, humanity the only religion
and love the only priest" the world would he
none the loser II paganism was universal. and
those who walk In that faith to the end can
with an unfaltering trust, approach the grave
Like one who wrAgs the drspery OF his couch
