James w. Mccormick, Senator from the
Tenth District, died at his home in Fennyllle,
Allegan county, on Sunday, of disease of
the stomach.
Mr.. Mccormick was born in Allegan
county, February 22, 1888, and has always
been resident of Michigan. He practiced
law for number of years, but lately had
been engaged quiet extensively in farming
and fruit growing. He held many public
offices in his native town, being supervisor for
fifteen years and justice of the peace twenty
four years., and at the time of his death was
president Of the Fennv.lle Mining Company.
He was elected member of the house of
representatives in 1885 and again in 1887.
In 1888 he was elected to the Senate by a
large majority, although his opponent ran
on four different tickets. Senator McCor-
mick was a man of marked intellectual abil-
titles, and made good record in Lansing
last winter. He leaves family and hosts
of friends behind

The Washington correspondent of the
Flint Citizen has the following to say of
two men well known in this county:
Mr.. Coleman is one armed soldier, who
deserves we'll of his country. He went to
the war from Corunna, and served faithful
ly, loosing an arm in the meantime. He
first took position here as door-keeper in
the house. Later he was appointed clerk
in the pension Office. Being faithful and
efficient in the performance of official duty,
he was in due time promoted as member
of the board of review, where he is now en-
ployed. Mr.. Coleman is good republican.
and is active in political matters when oc-
casion demands. He is at the same time
commander of post in this department of
the Grand Army of the Republic, where he
shares the respect of his comrades.
Mr.. III. M. Newcomb is from Ludington,
and is gentleman of education and intelli-
gence. He is fourth class clerk and assist
ant chief of division; though capable of
holding still higher position. His stand
ing as man is unexceptionable, and is APP
preciated by those who know him best. He
has been an active member of the State
Association, and always takes especial inter-
est in Michigan affairs. His father was
leading Presbyterian minister in western
New York forty years ago. He was at one
time settled in my native town, where 1
remember hearing him preach.

Of Robert Schuyler.

At first the only use made Of the land was
to have a small starting office at Twenty
sixth street and Fourth avenue for the city
car line In 1854 building was put up for
the reception Of milk trains and the delivery
of milk and farmers produce AT night Nine
years later a passenger station FOR the New
York, New Haven and Hartford railroad
was erected. When the Grand Central sta
tion was put up in 1871 the Garden building
was abandoned by the railroad company and
leased TO Phineas T. Baruum.
Soon afterward Shook & Gilmore's mu-
scum was started there, and the building was

nenca he raturally'carne TO consider it an
appeal TO the decision Of his diety. This
gave it a sacred character which was en-
grated upon the Romans. During the Mid
die Ages duels, which had become very COM
mon, were approved by jurists and clergy
men as means of the trial Of case between
two persons But they became so prevalent
that the church was soon obliged TO interfere
By the truce OF God of l041, duels were
forbidden between Wednesday and Monday,
the DAYS intervening being sacred to Christ's
passion. Louis Y attempted TO restrain
dueling, and Philip the Fair framed laws
against it; but soon after permitted it
in criminal cases which could be settled in no
other way. The duel as Judicial ordeal,
lasted till the year 1886, when one Jacques
Legres was accused of crime. He was
forced TO tee ordeal OF battle, was beaten, ad-
Judged guilty and hanged Soon after an
other confessed shat he was the real criminal
This set the rude people OF those days to
thinking, and resulted in the abolition Of such
absurd appeals to heaven, and the Judicial
ordeal was abolished
From this tine the duel lost Its sacred
character. From being an appeal to the de-
cision Of God it became a means OF obtaining
satisfaction for al injury, especially for an
insult. Francis declared that none but "a
base born fellow" would be given the lie with
out satisfaction. This gave the duel great
impetus IN France, and thence 1t spread all
over Europe IN Franco the modern duel
may be said to have had its origin, and In
France among European nations 1t Is most
prevalent today, the code being recognized
among the highest classes. especially legisla-
tors and journalists.

Judge David S. Terry, Of California, who
was recently killed in that state by United

the party, the duel has raised a discussion re
garding the rules of the code as applied TO
this particular affair.
A gentleman in Savannah, Ga, who is con-
versaBt with the duello, says that the rules
were violated grossly, while on the other hand
everybody who knows either of the principals
or their seconds, Capt. Henry Jackson and
Mr.. Jack King, claim that these gentlemen
know what they are about in affairs of honor,
and that the duel as fought was strictly in
accordance with the most approved authori-
ties on dueling.
For years Wilson's Code has been the stand

always carried Wilson's Code when he trav-
eled. He would as soon have thought of
going away without his dress suit in his trunk
as without his code. Generally the little vol
ume was slipped in pocket of the dress coat.
Today, however, copies of Wilson'S Code
are not common pieces of property: in fact
it is difficult to find the little books for sale
at bookstores, and those who possess the vol
une are few in number 1t is a book, how
ever, which is Ike the Texan and his revol-

One Of the most important tenets of the
code is the almost absolute power of the sec

principal places himself entirely in his sec

course has been exhauotod To saftla the point

THE RULING PASSION.
The Wager of Two Dying Gamblers IN
San Francisco Hospital.

The Wager of Two Dying Gamblers IN =
San Francisco Hospital.
That the ruling passion asserts itself even
in the very face of the grim destroyer is al
axiom as old as the hills. Its truth was evil
denced by an incident which recently &C
Cured at the City and County hospital, and
which was related TO Chronicle reporter
yesterday.
Some months ago two consuInptives in the
last stages of the disease lay dying on cots Ii
close proximity TO each other. Both victims
were sports who by dissipation had contract
sd phthisis in its most aggravated form. One
was known as Bill Cunningham, q young
gambler, who had enjoyed the reputation
among his class Of being reckless bettor on
the turn of a card TIE other was an Eng
hsh sailor named Staples, whose sole passion
was to wager whatever he possessed in sup
port of any opinion which he might express.
The nature of the men, in this particular at
least was Identical, and both recognized each
other in a sense as brothers IN misfortune.
AS they lay on their cots, haggard and hollow
eyed and gasping for breath, they daily
wasted the remnant of their vital forces in
bantering one another about their appear
ance.
II say, Staples" said Cunningham one
morning in voice scarcely above hoarse
whisper, you're looking blue. Better brace
up, old man"
Staples, who really seemed TO be dead man
as he lay almost brearhless with his glazed
eyes half open and mouth widely distended,
pulled himself together with indignant
Jerk and made an attempt to raise himself
upon his arm.
BILLY" said he, you're wrong. To prove
1t I'll bet you dollar, the size OF my pot,
that I'll outlive ye."
I'm see that bet" replied Billy.
1t distance OF five feet the two dying
man glanced at one another, each eager To
show the other that his stock of vitality was
The greater Cunningham battled bravely,
but he was the first to show signs of weak
ening He finally resumed his old position,
but it could be seen that his respiratory ac-
ton was failing. Suddenly he gave one great
gasp, and with that sigh the spark of his life,
prematurely cut off, was eItinguished
I've won the bet, said Staples, as he took
the stake money with gratided smile.
Cunningha1ns body was at once removed
to the hospital morgue. The attendant had
followed the cortege to the door and return
ed Immediately to Staples cot. Scarcely five
minutes had passed since Cunningham had
expired, but when the attendant glanced at
Staples he saw that he, too, was dead The
last pot which he bad raked in was clasped
in his right hand The grip was wise like,
and an instrument was employed to remove
the silver from the stiffened. unwilling fin

The magnificent residence which was re-
Gently begun for J. Frank Colon, the lawyer
whose defalcation has caused such excitement
IN Minneapolis, stands on the corner of Nicol-
let avenue and Twentieth street, south, Min
neapolis. This building, which is entitled to
the adjective vast, is still unfinished. 1t is
built mainly of Pennsylvania green stone and
Kaosta stone of light buff and pink shades.
The style Of architecture is the French Gothic
of the time of Louis H. The steps are OF Luz
verne granite Iron beams are in all the
floors, and the whole building was TO be fire
proof and the roof Of black enamel tile. An
idea of the rich and curious effect of the
green and the different shades of the Kaosta
stone cannot well be formed without seeing
the building. The front porch Is composed
of a massive buttresS and two heavy arches
1t was intended to have much elaborate
carved work about this entrance. The cor
nor of the building at the intersection of the
streets is round. From the stone porch a
terrace extends around the corner, and above
this terrace is a series of windows separated
by nullions The mullicns and whole frame
work are Of the green stone. Some very
handsome and striking mosaic work is above
the windows
