scene of q fatal duel, one cold, snowy
night in the winter of 1904, the parties
of the combat being William Coleman,
editor of the New York Evening Post
IAN organ of the Federalists), and Cap
tain Thompson, harbor master of the
port of New York. Thompson
who had made quite an
effort to provoke Coleman, remarked
freely that he had no fight in him, and
that if slapped well on n side of his
face, he would only be too happy to pre-
sent the other side for similar treatment.
Coleman, after making sure that Thomp-
son, had used the language attributed
to him, challenged the offender, who ac-
cepted, designated pistols as weapons,
and named IL o'clock as time of
meeting, and at or near University
place the scene of battle. Each party
had surgeons and seconds, and agreed,
as it was showing at the time, to fire at
each other at twenty yards. Both fired
the third time, when Thompson was
heard to exclaim, "My God! I have got
It'll" and, reeiing sideways, fell, mortally
wounded, into the snow, and died a
short time after having been conveyed
to his residence. The dying man made
Il statement in the presence of a number
OF friends to the effect that the duel and
his death We're the consequences of his
own quarrelsome characterand rashness,
and his last words were forgiveness Of
Coleman, whom he believed hal no
intent to kill.

lady-like. 1t was said of Rachel that

moment the Russian girl entered the

was somebody. Herbert Spencer
