Two Young Kentuckia ms Fight a Duel
with Their Fists.

Two Young kentuekIa ms right a Duel
With Their Fists.
BOWLING GREEN, KY, Nov. 23.-Fri-
day Mr.. Guy Kelley, member of one
of the wealthiest families in Nashville,
arrived in this city. He was accompan-
led by six young gentlemen friends. A
short time after their arrival, Mr.. Carl
Herdman, one of the best known and
most popular young gentlemen in this
city, received a challenge from Mr..
Kelley to fight a duel. Mr.. Herdman
was not long in accepting the challenge,
naming the time, place and weapons.
In his note of acceptance he politely re-
fused to fight with knives. He also de-
clined the use OF pistols. He, however,
invited Mr.. Kelley and his friends to
meet him on the reservoir hill, where
he would attempt to furnish him some
amusement in the nature of set-to a la
Sullivan Corbett. Kelley and his
friends were promptly on hand, and
preparations were soon made and the
fight began. Mr.. Bunting was second
for Kelley, Mr.. Nahm for Herdman, and
T. j. Jones was referee. One round was
fought, and Mr.. Herdman who is one of
the best all-round athletes in this part OF
the state, got considerably the better OF
his antagonist. The second round was
begun, and just about the time it was
being finished, together with Mr.. Kel-
ley, the police arrived on the scene and
placed both combatants, their seconds
and the referee under arrest. The en-
counter was the result of a note written
by Mr.. Kelley to one of Mr.. Herdman's
girl friends. The trial resulted in the
principals, seconds and referee each be-
ing, fined $3.50 and costs in the city
court.

A Composite Photograph.

w. T. Stead has been making notable
experiment. He secured photographs of
Mr.. Gladstone and the sixteen members
of the new Liberal cabinet. Then he
divided the sixteen officers into four
groups, according to their facial char
acteristics. The four whose type of
face was somewhat the same were
photographed one upon another.
Each group had its head man, in
whom the type of features was most
marked. There are four clean shaven
members of the cabinet. These Mr..
Stead put together, with Lord Rosebery
at their head. The four men with the
largest heads constituted another group.
Last of all the four groups were photo
graphed one upon another, and Mr..
Gladstone's picture taken on top Of them
all.
1t is of interest to observe whose fea-
lures are most strongly stamped upon
each group. Whether this is any sign
that the man whose likeness is most
prominent has the strongest character
perhaps not even Lavater could tell. In
the beardless mems group Lord Rose
bery's face IL most prominent. Sir

THE occurrence at the depot Wed
nesday, complained Of in our local
columns, where a lady's money was
snatched by negro tough, needs an
explanation from somebody. We are
not disposed to blame without
knowing more of the facts; we are
rather disposed to look upon the Oc
currence as an unfortunate accident.
There are two things that should be
explained to the public. One is, why
au officer WAS not somewhere in call
ing distance to be found. The other
is, why the ticket seller was selling
tickets from the ladies' window to
negro tOughs. The further fact IL,
the ladies have mighty poor accom-
.'nOdations at this depot at best. The
room is nice enough if it was kept
decently. But the odors of strong
pipes and mean whisky and other
bad odors from filthy men, in the ad-
Joining room, more often than other

room. 1t il tolerably bad weather

waiting room and keeps it long at a
time. The door between the rooms
should be kept locked, and no man,
unless accompanied by a lady, should
be admitted to the ladies room.

wnman.s cain in Phrsinne.

The opinions of DR.. B. w. Richardson,
the eminent London specialist, are al
ways entitled to respect. He has written
lately for an English monthly notable
article on the gains women have made
physically in the past twenty years. The
change began longer ago than that, in
America at least, but perhaps DIR. Rich
ardson was so busy writing about the
benefits of total abstinence that he did
not observe it.
DIR. Richardson says that no changes
in the past twenty years in anything are
more remarkable than those which have
occurred in the education and physical
training of women. Mankind have al
ready learned that women can practice
physical exercises with as much benefit
as men can. He lays the credit for this
discovery at the door of the fashionable
outdoor society games. Croquet began
the revolution; lawn tennis, cricket and
swimming continued it, ''till now there
is hardly an athletic sport or exercise of
any kind in which the young woman
does not take her share as well as the
young man."
Swimming, however, DIR. Richardson
regards as the best of all exercises for
both men and women. Nothing brings
into play more muscles at the same time.
There is also another point in favor of
the swimming exercise which the doc
tor mentions that of course has no bear
ing on ladies, for they are already the
pink of perfection in that respect. 1t is
the habit of personal cleanliness which
the practice of swimming develops.
Lawn tennis is good exercise for wom-
en-. Cycling is good and would be bet
ter if women only wore decent clothes"
The learned hygienist is utterly against
the long skirts and corsets worn by
women. But even with the bad cloth
ing the sex wears DR.. Richardson does
not know woman who has tried cycling
in moderation that has not been bene-
flied thereby. Fifty miles a day is as
much as woman ought to attempt, he
believes, but then that would probably
depend much on the woman.
1t is encouraging to read DIR. Richard
sons summing up of the results of the
recent development Of athletic culture
among women:
The health of woman generally is improving
under the change. There is among women gen.
orally less bloodlessness, less of what the old
fiction writers called swooning, less of lassi-
tude, less of nervousness, less Of hysteria and
much less of that general debility TO which,
for want of a better term, the words "malaise"
and ''languor" have been applied. Woman,
in a word, is stronger than she was in olden
time. With this increase of strength woman
has gained in development of body and of
limb. She has become less distortioned. The
curved back, the pigeon shaped chest, the dis
proportional limb, the narrow, feeble trunk.
the small and often distorted eyeball, the my
opic eye and puny i'll shaped external ear-an
these parts are becoming of better and more
natural contour. The muscles are also becom-
ing more equally and more fully developed,
and with these improvements there are grow
ing up among women models who may in due
time vie with the best models that old Greek
culture has left for to study in its undying
art.

BOTH ROASTED.
Mr.. POwderly'S Opinion of the

And That by 1896 the People WIN Learn

Only One That Offers Relief-Voters of

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 23.-Mr. Powderly,
head of the Knights of Labor, submitted
to an interview as follows:
"What do you think of the labor stu
alton in the country today"
"It was never better. The recent
election proved that both Harrison and
Cleveland were as good, but no better,
than in 1888. But the impressions that
Carnegie-and 1 speak of him as repre-
senting a class-was the real opponent
of Cleveland, caused hundreds of
thousands who never gave thought to
such a question, to change their votes.
That act demonstrated that they are
thinking. They will continue to think,
and in 1896 will have found the Demo-
cratic party no better than the Republ-
can party, and will then turn to the
Peoples party-the only one that offers
relief. 1t now makes a Democrat mad
to call him a free trader. That party
stole into power and the people will Gust
it in 1896"

1t will undoubtedly be the grandest

went before. So each worlds fair is
greater than its predecessor.

The NavaI Parade Next Spring.

About the time of the opening of the
review ever witnessed in America will
be given in New York bay and Hampton
Roads. The most interesting point about
it will be that all the vessels of our navy,
new and old, that can be spared from
active duty will take part. Along with
the splendid ships of the white squad
ron will come, like grizzled war veterans
beside the handsome young national
guard, the old Kearsarge and Ports
mouth.
The outgoing Republican secretary of
the navy is anxious that the naval YES
sells planned and built entirely during
the present administration shall be fin
ished as far as possible before he takes
leave of Office. 1t was expected that
No. 6, the 5,5O0-ton protected cruiser
now building at San Francisco, would
be finished by the spring of 1898, but
delays in getting material made this out
of the question. No. 6 will not be done
till next fall. She is $40 feet long at the
water line and was modelled after the
fine Spanish cruiser Reina Regenta.
She is a three decker, and viii carry
1900 tons coal supply and travel at
sustained speed of twenty miles an hour,
it is expected.
1t is hoped that the New York and In
diana will be finished in time to assist in
the splendid naval parade between
Hampton Roads and New York. The
New York is tine largest cruiser yet
launched for the new navy. The Indi-
ana is the largest battleship. 1t is not
certain, however, that the Indiana will
be near enough completion to enable her
to steam along with the parade. The
other vessels will probably be the fol-
lowing:
Cruisers New York (hagship), Baltimore,
San francisco, Charleston, Philadelphia, New
ark. Chicago. Atlanta, Concord. Bennington,
Yorktown, Detroit and Mont dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius, double turreted monitor Mi
dispatch steamer Dolphin, gun
boat MRohias, practice ship Bancroft, torpedo
boat Cushing and the old Kearsarge and Ports
mouth.

BimetalIists Already Preparing for the
Campaign of 1896.
NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The Herald
Washington special says:
The bimetallists have already taken
the field. They claim to be preparing
for the elections two and four years
hence, respectively. General A. j.
Warner, president of the Bimetallist
league, issued a circular Monday en-
titled THE Coming Issue"
In it the Republican policy of tariff
protection is reviewed, and the point il
made that the effort to protect the home
market exclusively for home producers
has not resulted in general prosperity.
but, on the contrary, has engendereC
monopoly; has not prevented the con
tinued fall in prices nor relieved the
mass of the people from evils of in
creasing debt and taxes caused by the
continued increase in the money
standard.
The circular then proceeds to explain
why the efforts of the coming admins
tration will also prove futile in the
effort to bring prosperity to all. The
only way is to stop the increase in the
value of money,
General Warmers address closes with
this paragraph: 1.-The next issue, there
fore will be the money question. Nor
will this issue be long delayed Its sup
preston by the two leading parties in
the campaign just closed did not settle
it. The people are being educated on
the money question faster than the poll

Kate, the only servant, had left without
an hours notice, and Mrs. Dunno was

homework to attend to, with very limited
experience.
1t was Saturday, and a gentleman was
invited to tea the next evening. 1t was

Certainly the turkey didn't taste so nice
as it would have done II mother or Kate
had been at home. but then they would
have it cold for tea, and surely that would
be all right.

the state of affairs, and of course expected

Devising Means by Which to Give at Least
Part Employment.
LONDON, Nov. 23.-The vestries and
district boards will hold a joint meeting
on Thursday to consider the taking of
concerted action to relieve the distress
among the working people of London.
A committee of the unemployed" will
send representatives to the meeting, in
response to an invitation from the official
bodies which will participate in it. Some
action will b taken probably in the line
adopted by the Whitechapel board of
works which provided for the en-
pleyment of all the extra men
possible on the condition that the extra
men were residents of the district, had
been out of work at least one month and
had families dependent upon them. By
working the new men on alternate days,
such plan, if generaliZed, would pro-
vide employment to $4,000 or 10000
men and would relieve greatly the dis
tress of men who are tied to families.
No feasible plan has been suggested for
the relief of all the great army now
seeking work Were the married men
relieved. however, the most appalling
features of the prevalent distress would
be removed.

A SIIDINe-sCALE TARIFF
James Lowther's Scheme to Protect tn
Farmers of Great Britain.

James Lowther's Scheme to Protect the
Farmers of Great Britain.
LONDON, Nov. 23.-Mr. James Low
Their, who will be chairman of the COM
ing agricultural conference, has written
a letter to the farmers in Kent in regard
to the advocacy by the fair traders of a
duty on grain. He suggests the adop-
ton of sliding scale tariff, that shall
cease to be levied upon the necessaries
of life directly the home production
yields profit, and the giving of pref
erential tariff to grain from the British
colonies.
The Telegraph calls the proposals
moonshine. The Daily News says: 1--WE
are not going to make Mr.. Lowther our
Mckinley. but he is very useful in strip
ping the disguise from Lord Salisbury's
insldious suggestions"
The Morning Conservative says that
Mr.. Lowther's suggestions are utterly
impossible.
