Hamilton; and IN 1891 the eldest son OF
Alexander Hamilton descended to the
grave by the same misguided path which
his illustrious father was soon to tread,
having been killed in duel which Origi-
mated in a political dispute at the theatre.
This duel was closely followed by other
political duels. In 1902 five shots were
exchanged between Dewitt Clinton and
John Swartout, a partisan of Burr.
Twice did Dewitt Clinton lodge ball in
the leg of Swartout; and five times did
the second of Swartout ask him whether
he was satisfied. But to every such Ques-
ton the obdurate duelist returned a fiat
negative; and although the leg,
upon which he continued to stand
as composedly as If he had Just
executed a pas de seal, was shot through
another shot II Dewitt Clinton had not
refused to inflict any further injury upon
the locomotive apparatus Of mis- autRgo-
MIST In the next year Clinton was chal-
lenged by Senator Jonathan Dayton, Of
New Jersey: and in the following year
the second OF Clinton in his affair with
John Swartout received a wound in duel
with Robert Swartout which promised at
one time to fOrestall the honor which he
afterwards enjoyed OF sitting upon the
Recorders bench of New York. In the
same year Coleman, of the EUentng Post,
challenged Cheetham, ofthe American GIN
zen, but, although Cbeetham could not be
brought TO terms, he had friend who
was under circumstances that remind us
of "The Duel After the Ball." by Gerome.
A Capt. Thompson, harbor master of New
York, espoused the cause of Cheetham in
such Outspoken language as to make him.
self the mark of the same cOndescensiOn
that Coleman had already extended to
Cheetham. The parties met in Jove lane
about nightfall on a cold winter evening.
Several shots were fired without
effect, owing TO the Obscurity OF the
hour. They were then placed nearer.
A bullet from the pistol of Coleman struck
Thompson and he tumbled headlOng into
the snow, exolaiming as be fell, ''l've got
it." He was conveyed, mOrtally wounded,
to the house Of his sister. The bell was
rung. The inmates came to the door, and
he was found on the steps In the darkness,
with his life ehbing away. But, shocking
as We're the circumstances under which
he had fallen, he refused with disinter-
estedness worthy of a better cause to re-
veal the name Of his foe, or to give any
account of the affair, saving that every
thing had been honorably done, and that
he did not wish his slayer to be m0lested

Story Of the Fan.

The following pretty story gives the
Chinese legend about the origin Of the
fan: "One evening when the beautiful
Kau 81, daughter Of a powerful Chinese
mandarin, was assisting at the grand
feast of lanterns, she was so overcome
by the heat that she was obliged to take
off her mask. But to expose her face to
the eyes of the profane and vulgar was
a serious offence against the law, so,
holding the mask as closely as possible
to her features, she rapidly futtered it
to give herself air, and the rapidity of
the movement still concealed her. The
other ladies present, witnessing this
hardy but charming innovation, imi-
tated it, and at once ten Thousand hands
we're huttering ten thousand masks.
Thus the fan was evoked and took the
place Of the mask"

The Close of the Case.

When Chief-J Justice Peters, of Maine
was at the bar he at one time tried a
case with lawyer who ranks among the
ablest, but at the same time among the
most loquacious, attorneys in the State.
Associated with the latter was a Junior
counsel, who made the opening argu.
ment. Judge Peters was aware that the
loquacious gentleman aforesaid had pre-
pared an elaborate argument, with
which he intended to close the
case. He would have the last fire.
Peters having to close his side first.
When the time for Peters to make his
closing argument came he said: your
Honor, 1 suppose the opposing counsel
in his closing argument will be REQUIRED
to confne himself to points which I
may treat in my closing ?" Certainly"
replied the court. "Then, your Honor"
said Lawyer Peters, 81 will submit my
case without argument" And he won
the case.
