Eighty Per Cent. of Duels In Europe Re-
suit in Casualties
1t is great mistake to imagine that
casualties are the exception to Eu-
ropean meetings on the field of honor,
says the st. Louis Republic, On the
contrary, they constitute the rule,
their average amounting TO as high as
so per cent. of the duels fought in Ger
many, Austria, Italy, Russia, Belgium,
Holland and Spain, while in France
the average Is only about 40 per cent.
There We're 1000 duels fought during
the year 1890, In which roo men were
killed outright 1000 sustained dan
gerous wounds which in many cases
resulted fatally, while no less than
4,s00 Of the remaining combatants re-
ceived minor injuries. That is to say,
out of 5000 principals In 1900 duels
only / 400 escaped without harm. The
average Is nearly identical In the
other countries above named. From
this 1t will be seen, except, perhaps, in
France, the chances of escaping scathe-
less from n duel are relatively very
small.
Another disagreeable consideration
of the ''affair of honor is the knowl-
edge that, instead Of getting hurt or
killed yourself, you may have the
misfortune to inflict mortal wound
upon your adversary, in which case the
tribunals of the country will generally
sentence you to term of several
months imprisonment and to pay heavy
damages to the relatives of the dead
man

A young woman, member Of a
church choir in St. Louis, went to the
prosecuting attorney one day last
week and demanded a warrant for
the arrest of all its other members,
because they had asserted that her
voice was not good and that she
spoiled the harmony of every effort
made by the choir. She wept when
the attorney told her the others had
n right to criticise her voice.

service reform sits enthroned. The
chief watches the clerks of the division.
each one of whom is usually engaged in
a never-ending struggle to reduce his or
her IaborS to the minimum. Why should
clerks care to work Are they not pro-
tected by the ages of civil service ? Can
any power short of death or cabinet
officers command reduce them to the
ranks Of the more vulgar common peo-
pie? Not much. They stood their eX-
animation. That examination was not,
Of course, intended to test the asplrants
fitness so much as to manifest the bur-
den of overshadowing learning and
scholarship carried by the examining
board.
Here is where the usefulness of the
chief comes in. In active practical pol
tiles he has learned we'll the lesson how
TO be polite. genial and agreeable to his
fellows. This much-needed element
would become lost art IN the executive
departments of Washington if there
were not constant changes through po-
litieal methods OF heads of bureaus and
departments.
Hence, while the chief is tyro as to
the clerical duties of his position, he is
trained expert in being decent to the
great mass of people having business to
be attended to.
Nearly all the chief clerks ara local
partisan leaders. and have thus secured

leading article ON Washington.
as possible manufacturing center
The intelligent Mr.. Hutton seemed to
speak seriously of it, as though he could
be in earnest The proposition IS simply
ludicrous. No firm dependent upon
energy and enterprise for success would
for one moment stop to consider Wash
ington as place in which to found
great industrial institution. The ex-
ample of the government employees alone
would demoraliZe any corps OF real
workers that could be brought together.
Washington was not made for work.
1t is the kept mistress OF the nation. 1t
is beautiful in its Incidence, charming
in IFS lack of municipal energy. No
elections or heated campaigns mar the
harmony Of its rest. 1t loves sweet and
pretty and attractive things. 1t hates
over-eXertion, and cannot endure the
strong efiuvium that eXudes from
THE SWEAT OF TOLL.
In summer the soft cushions of its
asphalt pavementS give back no Earring
sound of vulgar trade; Its parks and
gardens WOO with their shade and the
perfume Of their flowers to perpetual
rest. In this atmosphere labor becomes
vulgar: and the only outlet for human
energy is found in the creation and
execution of laws; in counting the Sc
crets of science; in worShiplng before
the altar of the divine arts.
Washington will be the one great
center of rest from the rude clangOr
and bang of all the other great eenters
of trade and creation in America. By
and by the fool Astors and Van
derbilts. not to speak OF the other i'm
beetle milIionaires of the nation, will
cease going to Europe to rest their
nerves, rasped by the demands of social
and business life, and will build beauti-
full homes in the vicinity of Washing
ton. Castles of Incidence and gardens
of repose will then nestle around this
great center of culture, and crown with
beauty the blue hills that skirt the his
Ioric Potomac.
But business-never! Trade and COM

cellent in their place. Their place is

comets, they come, they amaze. they
vanish. Some Of them scarcely remain
here long enough to impress the shadow
of their shape upon the feminine lowell
ness in their departments. Others re-
main forever-things of beauty that
never pass away. If the administration
changes color, chief is mighty liable
to get dropped down peg in rank,
where he can pull the civil service blan-
ket over him, and thus remain snug and
warm until the untoward conditions of
the political thermometer change. Then
he crawls back into the sunshine Of
favor once more.
The first deputy commissioner OF pen
sions was that kind of hair-pin. He
was appointed chief of division during
Mr.. Cieveland's first term. When Har-
rison was elected. he knew he would
have to walk out of that $1,000 garden
Of cult and refinement. So he got ap-
pointed special examiner at $500,
stayed by the job while the suns of
Corporal Tanner and Greene Berry
Raum rose, and waxed, and waned, and
set. Then Secretary Smith advanced
him to the position of first deputy. In
telligence is not without its reward.
The clerical breed II Washington is a
caste by itself. 1t is of neuter gender.
1t has its own manners, customs, habits.
1t feeds well, dresses we'll, looks well,
and is well, thank you except, of
course, when assaulted by the deadly
malaria. The clerical cult tolls only a
little more than the lily Of the valley:
yet, as a rule, 1t surpasses Solomon in
his glory OF apparel. Government
clerks probably at some remote period
had the same ambitions as other people.
but now all they ask is to have a dead
mir or, THAR with aanuaipfa-oa
enough with a member of, congress
from their own state to hold out hopes
for promotion.
Then they saunter through life as
gaily as butterfly, doing justine mimi
mum of labor, and praying GOD and all
the other powers for the
MAXIMUM OF SALARY.
As rule, if they talk politics. they be-
long to the party in power while it is in
power. Then there is breathless pause
"a pregnant stillness-from November
until March. Then the shouting COM
! mences again.
The writer would not be unkind. The
government clerk is the creature that
he or she is made by the red tape that
binds them. 1t is known that every
human being is circumscribed, bound,
tied by his task in life. The banker is

association of apart with his library and
his briefs; the physician is impregnated
with the fumes of the medicines
he dispenses to patients; the eler-
gyman carries about with him
great chunks of the walls and the pave
| ments of the heaven and hell he believes
| in, so you can sample his creed at sight
usually.
Thus it is with the government clerk.
