A Glad Fathers Gift.

Harbor Master Charles Lawrence,

ed special notice, and he sent him a
telegram telling him of his sons safe
arrival. The man up the state was Sc

telegraphed Captain Lawrence, please

knew that 81. 30 per word was the rate
on Captain Green's message from ia

struction to Captain Green, pursuant
to the fond fathers request, found that
the twenty-five dollars presented by

nearly nineteen dollars to send. So he

The Question of Hats.

One who walks the most crowded
streets of New York for whole day
will see very few soft hats and only q
fair sprinkling of plugs. Not one head
in thousand is covered with anything
save the conventional derby. In a west
ern, and still more in southern, town,
he would in day see every variety OF hat
and cap known to the trade, and the same
individual probably changes his headgear
two or three times year, according to
the season. To the westerner, the knowl-
edge that the Gothamite wears the stiff
black conventional derby in rain and
shine, in January as in June, comes as .
decided surprise; but it is even SO. Does
the habit of being in crowds tend TO
bring all men to level in the matter Of
headgear?

have been familiar for years to every
editor in New York, and his writings
have been read by the readers of Har.
per's Weekly, Munsey's Weekly, The
American Press Association, Texas Sift-
ings, Puck and others. Recently he left
New York for Annoy, China, where he
is United States Vice consul. His de.
parture was much regretted by those in
New York who knew him, for Billy
Fales is all that the term good fellow
implies. In addition to his gifts as a
humorist and writer of graceful verse he
is possessed of really vast erudition. His
knowledge of almost everything that en-
cages the attention of mankind is posi-
lively phenomenal.
David A. Curtis, who elaborated
with him for more than year, said
once, 81 never heard Fales say 4 don't
know but once, and hardly ever found
his information Incorrect" 1t is COM
mon among Fales' friends to refer to
him as a living encyclopedia.
Fales was born in New Bedford, Mass,
in 1851. His family came from Rhode
Island, and was at one time very
wealthy His father was professional
linguist, and his mother is learned and
distinguished woman, who is president
Of the Sociological Society of America.
She comes from Baltimore family.
Fales was e51cated in the Brooklyn Poly
t0hnic AM Columbia college. He took
his degree the School Of Mines, and
afterward studied in the Columbia Law
school, graduating there with high hon.
ors in 1876. He then Travelled year or
more in South America, and returning
to Brooklyn began the practice of law,
and for several years was considered the
most promising and brilliant member OF
the bar in that city. He was associate
counsel with General Tracy in the
Beecher trial, and won considerable dis
tinction in the case. He also became
prominent in politics, and had more
than fair prospect of political distinc-
ton. For six or seven years, however,
he has devoted himself entirely to his
pen.
AS newspaper worker Mr.. Fales
came often in contact with the Chinese
of New York, and in order to better
study their life and habits he learned
the language some three or four years
ago. This was undoubtedly one of the
reasons that influenced the appointing
power when he was chosen vice consul
to Annoy Tom MASON.

A Dead Shot and Man of Peace.

E. E. Stanley, who recently died at
Milledgeville, it is said, had the reputa
ton of having killed two men in duels
on the same day. He was a very old
man, and the duels were fought sixty
years ago. At the time of the duels he
lived on the line between this state and
Alabama. He got into controversy
with a man named Halton and was
challenged. He killed Halton, and on
the same day Halton's second chal-
lenged him, and the second duel took
place q few hours after the first one.

something About Duels.

NEW YORK, April 16.-Although duels.
as usually fought in France, are com
paratively innocuous, they are far more
serious affairs in most continental coun-
tries. Last year no less than 1900 duels
were fought in Italy alone. Of these
fifty resulted in immediate death, LOGO
in dangerous, and in many cases fatal,
wounds, and 2,421 in wounds of minor
importance In Austria, in Germany,
in Spain, Russia and Belgium the COM
parative number Of duels, as well as the
percentage of mortal and dangerous
wounds, is even greater. In France,
however, not more than one duel in
every eighty-six is attended by any seri.
GUS results. This is mainly attributable
to the prompt Intervention of the medl-
cal men on the field as soon as ever one
of the parties has been touched. The
late Dr. Thevenet. who made specially
of attending duels, was famed for his
readiness to magnify the merest sword
prick into a dangerous wound, and it
was this popularity which caused his
services to be in such request by French
duelists.
The witty Paris croniqueur, Aurelien
Scholl, indeed went so far as to assert
that the worthy doctor was wont to
adopt the precaution of bringing vial
of blood with him when he was asked
to attend a combatant on to the field,
and that he contrived by dexterous use
of its contents to give such Il CHASTITY ap-
pearance to the slightest scratch that

which he had assisted had not cost soil
