A TERRIBLE DUEL IN MID-oCEAN
Two Young Men Fight Over u Girl
With Black Eyes.

New York World: The Noordland,
stanch steamship of the Red Star line,
set sail Saturday, Feb. 4. from Ant
werp. Yesterday she crept up the bay
and found moorage at a pier in Jersey
City. Arm in arm down the gang
plank walked two young men not yet
out of their teens. One was dark,
sombre, and pompous, the other fair
and Jolly. Both were fat, and they
were bosom friends. They were Jules
Fribourg of Metz and Simon Stein OF
RegensbuSg. On the pier they wrung
each Others hands and went through
all the extravagant forms of demon
stration with which people of the con.
tinent are won't to give evidence OF
grief at parting. The contortions over,

No Mans Land.

Kansas City Times: The strip of
country known as "No-Man 's-Land" is
l69 miles long by thirty-four and one
half miles wide. There are 10000
people living on it. 1t contains a num-
ber of villages with schools and stores.
1t has belonged to the United States
for thirty-eight years, and yet during
all that time has been neglected Or
phan, without federal or territorial law.
This strip of country has the most fer
tile soil and a climate free from the ex-
rules supreme. Offenders are caught
and shot promptly on conviction. One
who has recently been in No-Man s.
Land says:
For all these years it has remained
No Mans Land, in fact, for though it
belongs to the government and is pub
lie land it has never been made subject
to entry, nor has the United States even
ever extended its laws over this ter
ritOry. There is no officer who can ar
rest a man for crime committed in this
territory, no court which could try him
if he were convicted. March 80, 1885,
it was attached to the internal revenue
collection district OF Kansas for the
collection of the special tax on
the sale of tobacco and liquors.
tax, others do not. There is no author
ity that can punish the latter. The
government has established postotfices
and postal routes in the strip, but if
a postmaster should embezzle the
funds or should the mails be robbed
within the limits of this territory there
is no court before whom the offender
could be brought for trial. The mer-
chants do strictly cash business, as of
course, no debts contracted there can be
collected"
No title can be obtained to lots or
land in all this country because of the
neglect of congress. The people in this
strip are industrious and peaceable, but
They are within the government, but
| not of it. They are compelled to fall
back upon natures laws and take care
of themselves. They do this OCCASION

b! PARIS, Feb. 26.-lNew York Herald Gable
Special to the BEE. yesterday was
the first real skating day we have had this
year. There were two or three cases Of false
hopes at the end Of last month and at the be-
ginning Of this, but yesterday was right down
winter, and the ice was in excellent con-
dition both in the Vile Bon and Ponceaux,
but more especially at the headquarters Of
the skating club on the Bois de Boulogne a
pleasant sheet of ice which brings healthy
flush to SO many pretty face
and stretch to many q iaded
limb. Here is oil Paris, and very
pretty picture it makes as it whizzes and
fswirls over the CLASSY surface all the live
long day. There were plenty of inveterate
lady skaters, md charming they looked as
their winter garments clung daintily to them
When male Partisan goes out shooting rab-
bits he thinks Unnecessary to don the garb of
comic opera, with feathers and strange
dog as concomitants. The Parsenne, on the
contrary, when skating, is always n past
mistress in the art of dressing. From
Q a. IN. TO nearly D. III. there
was plenty of sport. Naturally there was
b good deal of plain, straight skating and n
few beginners, whose spidery inclination to
throw up their thumbs, bow sedately to the
ice. and then tumble amused the thoughtless
bystanders not on skates. Some falls, how
ever, came to the more skillful skaters. But
the most wondrous sight of all was NJ Michel
Perrel, veteran of seventy-two summers,
who skates as vigorously as any young man
pne-fourth his age.

tinued to-day and many Parisians scudded

made in fear and trembling, for that bad
witch, Old Mother Thaw, may breathe muggy
