wound is tho victor. After the wounds
have been dressed reconciliation is of.
fected; tho former enemies leave tho
place friends. Indeed, the duels are not
often the outcome of personal animosity.
The superhuous energy which in England
and America is worked OFF in outdoor
sports, in rowing, cricket or baseball,
here finds its only outlet in the duel. II
these duels were always harmless one
could dismiss them with laugh, as only
one other form of the inevitable and even
enviable folly of youth. But uufor-
tunatcly there is another side to the pic
ture. Sometimes the duel Is the result
of deep and deadly hatred, aud then it
is fought out even to the death. The
comparatively harmless schlager is dis
carded, and in its place the pistol or the
saber is substituted. No silly child's
play here, but grim and wicked earnest.

A Born COurtier.

During q stay of Emperor William L.,
OF Germany, at the fashionable watering
place at Ems that monarch paid q visit
to a large orphan asylum and school that
was under Government patronage. The
presence of so distinguished parsonage
created quite sensation in the establish
ment. After listening with much inter

classes, His Majesty called to him .
bright, faxcn haired little girl of five or
six years of age, and, lifting her into his
lap, said:
"Now, my little frauleiu, let me see
how well you have been taught. To
what kingdom does this belong" And
taking out of his pocket an orange, he
held it up to her.
The little girl hesitated a moment,
and, looking timidly up into the Empe.
ror's face, replied:
"To the vegetable kingdom"
every good, my little fraulein; and
now to what kingdom does this belongl"
Aud he drew out of his pocket gold
piece and placed it on the orange.
Again the little girl hesitated, but
soon replied:
"To the mineral kingdom"
"Better and better" said tho Empe.
ror. "Now look at me aud say TO me to
what kingdom I belong"
At this question there was an ominous
silence among the teachers and visitors
who were listening with much interest
to the royal catechism. Could she make
any other reply that "to tho animal
kingdomi" The littlo girl hesitated
long, as IL perp!exed as to what answer
she would give. Was the Emperor an

tinent inquiry: "Are we notin danger

absurdity that is attempted to be intro
duced is the chaperone or duenna system
of the Old World. There are, of course,
some instances wherein the chaperone is
all well enough. A young lady should
not go about, in great city, to enter
tainments without some sort of chaperon-
age, nor can she be expected to appear at
an evening party unaccompanied by some
elder, who for the time, has her in change.
So far, chaperones are necessary and
proper. But the idea that girl can not

Saws the New York Tribune; "Austria
has Just played her trump card in the
Balkan question by closing her frontiers
to servian swine. Hogs constitute the
principal, and, in fact, almost the only

through Austria is to shut them OIL from

shown that she has plenty OF resources

FUTURE OF THE NEGRO.

Prof. Langston Thinks Providence Will
Guide the African Voter.
About the only representatives to the late
Law and Order Convention who remained
in the city yesterday were Edward Everett
Hale and Prof. Langston, of Virginia. Mr..
Langston made three addresses yesterday-in
the Methodist Church, on Watson street, in
the morning, at the Wylie Avenue
NJ. E. Church in the afternoon,
and at Browns Chapel, Hemlock
street, Allegheny, last night The name of
the Southern orator drew immense crowds
In his address last night he spoke of the
wonderful Providence which had brought
the African race to America as slaves, and
in 245 years made them free and gave them
rights equal with their former masters.
He believed the same Provide ence would
guide the steps which would finally bring
an amalgamation of all races and place the
colored man on a common footing with the
rest of mankind, and wipe out all social
differences.
The speaker said his race was a rolling
stone, but stone that gathered moss. In
the North the negroes were successful in OBJ
tanning the comforts of life, even wealth,
and on their action would hang much Of
the fate Of the colored men in the South, for
the Northern people judged all the race by
the negroes they saw among them. 1--WE
are rapidly becoming power" said Mr..
Langston. when we were emancipated

the case of Detective w. L. Braun, of

arrested after midnight, while attempt

IL Anderson street. The long butcher-knife
which had been used was laid on the Nav
or's desk Then Mrs. Braun gave her testi-

she tainted and was carried back. The

in the air, after the style of a professional
juggler, and was about to deliver lecture,

MAKING A RECORD.
WEATHER sHARPs DOING SOME VERY
PRETTY WORK.

More Clear Skies and Bracing Atmosphere
Promised-A Delightful Sabbath-How
Pittsburgers Enjoyed the Day - The
Streets of the City Crowded for Hours.
Bright, clear skies, with an atmosphere
as pure and bracing as can well be imagined,
greeted Pittsburgers when they turned out
yesterday morning, and these conditions
prevailed throughout the day.
Last night the heavens were bright with
stars, and the Signal Service man had
enough confidence in his reports and the
outward signs of that portion of the uni
verse visible to him to predict that the
pleasant spell would last at least "a hours
more, with everything in favor of even a
longer run. High barometer and low tenn
perature were reported from nearly all sec
tions of the country, while the rainfall was
very light.
Conditions like the ones mentioned above
are rare indeed in this vicinity, at this time
OF the year, when winter, with its frills and
chills, is usually preparing the way for a
little engagement, and people who could pos
sibly do so made the most of it. Filth
avenue, Wood and Smithfeld. streets, the
stamping ground of downtown loiterers or
sight-seers, were full of people from morn
ing until night. They did not travel singly
or in pairs but in droves, and the merchants
who had their windows filled with attractive
displays secured great deal of cheap ad-
vertlsing. Some of the displays drew like a
place of amusement, and the crowds never
grew weary of stopping to look at the same.
In the suburbs, where any streets are yet
remaining to drive upon, there was no end
of fashionable turnouts Many handsome
private rigs were to be seen, and in addi-
tion the livery stables were very fully rep
resented. The East End and Perrysville
road, as usual, caught the bulk of the peo-
pie, and more than one gentleman and lady
will be recalling with enthusiasm to-day
the pleasures of the drives they had.
The cable, horse and electric cars also
came in for very liberal patronage, hun
dreds and thousands OF people going over
the various routes just to see unfamiliar
parts of the city, and to breathe in little
of the invigorating air, and duplicates oil
the day from now until winter loosens Its
grip next spring will doubtless be rare in
deed.

Neither Potatoes Nor Poultry Proved Profit
able to an Amateur.
Before embarking in the livery business
Mr.. John O'Riley, o. Mt. Washington,
tried his hand at farming. He hired man
to plow, and the plowing cost So. He then
bought four loads OF manure, which cost So.
Three bushels of seed at 81 80 per bushel
cost 81 80, and two pounds of paris green
81 20. The hoelng Mr.. O'Riley did him.
self, and received much pleasure from the
contemplation of the vines, which grew
about four feet high. In the fall the tops
died, in the usual order of things, and the
family almost felt sad over the loss of the
beautiful white foliage. But the potatoes
were dug and the output was something less
than a bushel of merchantahle tubers,
though there were fair amount about the
size of cranberr1es. Deducting the pleasure
of cultivation, Mr.. O'RiIey states that these
potatoes cost him slightly less than S25 a
bushel.
Next year Mrs. O'Riley suggested a
change to poultry, and a stock OF chickens
was purchased. They seemed to do we'll,
but one night fox, either from the wilds of
Sawmill Run or pet of uncivilized tastes,
got into the inclosure and killed over 80 of
the flock. The next day was Sunday, and
Andy Good held an inquest on the victims.
The verdict was that the fowls came to their
death either by fox or weasel. They were
all bitten under the wing. The fox subse-
quently convicted himself by returning to
the nelghborhood on another foray and get
ting shot, Mr.. O'Riley thinks farming isn't
his forte
