ABSURD MEN.
That They Should Fight Duel Over One
Pretty Woman.

Pretty Woman.
PHILADELPHIA. May 2O.-Miss Matte Ath-
srton. tho singer and the innocent cause of
the alleged duel in Chicago ON Sunday
morning between man alleged to be Baron
rudolph Kalnoky de Karespatak and hot
headed young southerner arrived here last
night. She ia rather tall, with 1.-THE and
graceful figure and bright, interesting
race. On the stage she il not tho conven-
tlonal actress. She is twenty-six years OF
age and native of Philadelphia. She met
baron karsspatak in the early part OF the
season in New York. She knew him az
plain Rudolph Kalnoky and did not learn
until long afterward that he Was an Aus
trian nobleman and relative of the
ex-premier Of Austro-H Hungary. She
met him after performance, to-
Rether with several members of the
company. They parted in New York as
good friends who had met casually, struck
q sympathetic chord in their mutual love
considerable surprise that Miss Atherton
met MIR. Kainoky again in Montreal. He
again attached himself to the young singers
train, and during their weeks stay in the
Canadian metropolis the nobleman's at
mained behind, however, when the com
pany left, and WAS almost forgotten when
he turned up again in Chicago. This was
toward the end Of their engagement in the
fair city. and there he met the fair southern
with whom he subsequently crossed swords.
The name OF this young man Miss Atherton
refused to divulge.
"rhe whole subject" she declared, with
q crimson blush, lis an embarrassing one
tor me. 1t sounds 30 egotistical to give
these details but L can't tell you who the
young southerner was. He was only youth
and why he should express the infatuation
he did is not for me to say. He is the son
OF prominent Georgia gentleman and for
his family's sake, as much as for his own,
will not give his name. He and Mr.. Kali
noky met while we we're in Chicago. In
fact, introduced them. ! thought they
were friends. II is true that Mr.. Kalnoky
came to Louisville while We were playing
there. As to any declarations either gen
tleman might have made to me you will
easily see have nothing to say. II seems
Incredible to me that they should fight
absurd things''

The Oldest Daily Newspaper In California
to Close Its Office.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 29.-The Alta, the
Oldest daily newspaper of California, will
gu spend publication within week. Ysster-
day it discharged nearly all its editors and
reporters. and will run for another week
simply with a small force.
The Alta has had u stirring history. II
originated in the transfer of the old Cali
fornian from Monterey to San Franci SEQ in
lSi9. In the following year it WAS made a
daily. 1t came ont one day ahead of the
San Frascisco Herald, and the two we're
rivals until the great vigilance com mittee
was established in 1856. The Alta su, =
ported this committee, while the Herald
opposed it, which caused the latter paper to
be boycotted, causing its death within a
week. The Alta was the leading San Fran
cisco paper till after the bonanza excite
ment, when the Chronicle sunplanted it.
For ten years the Alta has been moribund,
and its death was only question OF time.

dition by hard training. White is we'll
known. He is a large and very powerful
man and is in splendid condition after sew
eral months of hard work in the woods and
a course of training at the race track. His
weakness is want of science. If he hits Mr.
