A Peculiar Duel.
New York World.

New York World.
A very peculiar preliminary to a
death sentence, that deserves to be
put on record, was that in vogue in
Franconia in the fifteenth century,
that is, in the days of the ordeal, in
which heaven itself was supposed to
take hand in the distribution OF
Justice. In case a woman had been
made to suffer III reputation by
man she was ut liberty to challenge
him to combat, which took place in
the following way: A regular ring
was formed tor spectators, and chairs
were placed for the judges. In the
middle of the ring was hole about
three feet deep, in which the man,
armed only with u club, had to de-
fend himself against the woman, who
was armed with a stone weighing a
pound, tied up in n handkerchief and
attached to q slender, willowy stick.
The lady had a space measuring ten
feet in diameter in which to eyOlute
and to attack.
The rules were rs follows: If the
man in attempting to strike the
woman touched the ground with
arm or hand he made an error. II
he made three such, or if the woman
succeeded in disarming him, he was
declared defeated, and was then de-

From an Unhappy Mother.

Among the letters of coincidence
which Emperor Francis Joseph re-
ceived on the death of his son was
one signed by the "Mother of Ober-
dank." In 1882 Oberdank was ar
rested for having n shell in his pos
session when the emperor visited
Trieste. He was tried and condemned
to death. His mother sent an ap-
peal to the emperor for his pardon.
So did Victor Hugo. Hismajesty re-
fused the pardon and Oberdank was
executed: Unhappy father!" says
the mother in her letter to the en-
peror. 81 regret that on account of
the tragic death of your only son

mother, telt on the morning of Dec.

Badly Addicted to the Railroad Pass
Habit.

A lobbyist ut Springfield, Ills,
who had been a railroad deadhcad
for mdny years, was called to his
home, about forty miles from Chi
cago, by telegram announcing the
serious illness of his wife. When he
reached Chicago it was late in the
evening, and there was but one moro
train to his town TINT night. AS he
was waiting for the train time he
noticed the conductor was a new
man, whom lie did not know, and
then for the first time he called to
mind the fact that he had left his
annual pass over that road in his
room ut Springfield. Approaching
the conductor, he introduced himself
and told the circumstances, said
that all tho old conductors knew
him, and he never had to show his
pass to them, so he had been care
less about it.
81 have no doubt it is all right"
said the conductor, "but l cannot
carry YOU"
'I'ut," said the gentleman, plead
ingly, my wife is very i'll. must

II am sorry" replied the conduc-
tor, but cannot carry YOU"
sis there anybody around here au-
thorized to issue u pass? Anybody
who Gun give me one?"
The conductor knew of nobody
around the depot who had that au-
thority.
"Well," said the lobbyist in des.
pnir. II shall have to drive out
there, and l don't know the road,
and it will take me all night anyway"
The conductor was ut last touched
by the lobbyists predicament and
said:
II can't carry you for nothing, but
l will advance the money to you IT.
"Thundcr and lightningv' ex-
claimed helobbyist, smiling all over;
'l'vc got n thousand dollars right
here in my pocket" and he ran off to
buy u ticket.
When he came back he said:

Bespoken.

The new teacher in some rural dis
tricts, if he is young and unmarried,
is often supposed to have matrimo-
nial designs on the young ladies of
the district, no matter how innocent
he may be of such intention. Some
time his supposed preference for one
or the other is made the subject of
gossip, and occasionally the teacher
is even the innocent cause of most
absurd jealousies.
A diffident, young man, who chan
ced to be already engaged to he mar
ried, taught his first term of school
in a western rural district some
years ago, and, in accordance with
the rural custom, he did u great deal
OF visiting around"
He spent one night at the house of
IN old farmer who had u daughter
famous, not for her beauty, but for
her lack oft. To enumerate her pc
culiarities OF face and figure would

Of beauty, who think IL head of red
hair, cut short and parted at the
side, is On attractionin u younglady,
would have been charmed with Becky
Ann"
When our somewhat fastidious
young teacher was introduced to
this paragon, her uncomeliness was
increased by the fact that she
was bare footed and wore an inhar-
monious gown OF green and yellew
calico.
Naturally enough his amazed gaze
was fixed often on Miss Becky Ann
during the evening. When lie retir-
ed to his room for the night, he was
followed by her father, who almost
stupetied him by saying, with per-
tect gravity:
"Look here, I'm going to tell you

ACat In Her Bonnet.

"Meow! Meow!' A household
sound, rs familiar to most people as
the melodious notes of "The Old
Oaken Bucket" and yet it struck
terror to the hearts Of fifty or 100
people seated beneath the gallery of
the Union Square theater says the
New York World. 1t was scarce u
fit accompaniment to the sentiment
expressed in the tender words and
music of "Good-By. Sweetheart"

fifth row in the orchestra, from
whose bonnet emanated these Ito

With paws and claws outspread,
q handsome specimen of feline family
had .lecen,led us though shot from
n catpault from the gallery upon the
unsllspecting audience below during
the first act of "Ardriell. There
was n cry and then II shout, in which
the cat joined Justify. The startled
audience below had seen it coming
and, like baseball experts, they
Judged the animal in it's fall, swaying
from side to side in the hope Of es-
Gaping those outstretchel claws. In
an unswerving course the beastcame
on and finally brought up on the
l,eadgear OF IL lady in the fifth row of
the orchestra. There was gasp, a
tear, and then n roar of laughter,
contributed by those who had es-
capped.
Like a flash the cat fed, leaving
behind upon the floor an elegant luce
homeland in n moment was upon

without avail, until it finally disup-
peared up the chimney of the mimic
scene. How it got into the theater
and whether it fell or leaped from the
gallery are unsolved mysteries.

Combining Business and Pleasure.

1t is a breach of etiquette to allow
the handing out of advertisements
to people as they emerge from a
theatre. Aristocratic people would
deem it On insult to have an advert

they were departing even from SO
public IL place. Judge, then, OF the
surprise OF the members of some of
Albany's best families when, upon
leaving the house of one of the So
