How much is a ticket to Worcester"
One dollar, and you haven't long to

Yes. 1t is better to have few minutes

About how much time do you think is a

That depends entirely on the person."

a Chilly Duel.

A duel of an original character was
fought in front of the Antwerp railway
station. Two gentlemen from Liege,
after hard days sightseeing, refreshed
themselves so effectually at IL cafe that
from beer to brandy and from argu-
ments to insults they came to blows.
Blood alone could wash away the stain
of their mutual insults, but as deadly
weapons were not kept on the premises
for the use Of customers the proprietor
of the cafe suggested that as the street
was deserted the adversaries should an
initiate each other with "douches," and
he handed to each a portable water pipe.
Cold water being anything but an excit-
ing medium, the combatants after Il
thorough drenching shook hands and
hurried to change their garments.-Lo

whitney" said German, tell me, as
friend and as man to man, reyou sure
to win this fight:"
AS sure" replied Whitney, smiling
through his glasses, "as the sun rises
tomorrow morning"
Next morning Mr.. German positively
forbade his friends to use his name IN
the convention, greatly to the grief of
one of his enthusiastic supporters, who
had prepared himself with 5000 worth of
German badges and was only waiting
the word to distribute them through the
city.
AS is well known, Mr.. Whitney was
the real manager of the Democratic cam
paign last fall, Though behind the
scenes all the time, his was the hand that
held the throttle. 1t was Gorman's
friendship for Whitney, and nothing
else, that INDUCED the Maryland senator
to 60 to New York and take an impor-
tant part in the campaign. AS soon as
German appeared upon the scene the
betting changed to odds on the Demo
cratic candidate, SO great is the conf
dence of sporting men and politicians in
the wisdom and fnesse of the senator
from Maryland.
Gormans Correct Habits.
The friendship between German and
Whitney, who may be rivals before the
Democratic nominating convention of
1896, has been carried from politics to
business. Mr.. German is now n very
wealthy man, and much of his fortune
has been acquired during the last few
years in ventures which were suggested
to him by Mr.. Whitney. Gorman's for
tune is placed at million dollars or
more, and it is constantly growing. Not
only Whitney, but Whitney's alter ego,
Dan Lamont, IS great friend of the
Maryland senator. Though German
and the president are not on the best of
terms, the presidents secretary of war
continues his intimacy with the leader
OF the senate. Three or four mornings
week Mr.. German walks from his
home to the Arlington hotel and has a
half hours talk with Lamont before the
latter goes to LIS Office at the war de-
partment

side, which is in the majority in that
body, he is playing prominent part in
the sensational scenes attendant upon
the repeal bill contest, which has been

which the senate has witnessed for many
years. Inasmuch as Mr.. German is q

A Wise Caution.
In the Democratic convention at Chi

be candidate. His friends were urg-

German was almost convinced that he
could succeed. Rut his native caution
induced him to ask one moro day in
which to make up his mind, for he knew
full well that if he permitted the use of
his name against Cleveland and failed
his political career would come to an

 As he came out into the street, some thing of her evident desire not to be seen convinced him that the retreating figure was that of his wife. He followed quickly, and as soon as she noticed this she broke into run.
 Now, Tom realized that it was risky thing to run after and overtake flying woman, especially if she turned out to be the person of whom he was in search. But Tom was desperate, and he took the risk

 She leaned against the lamppost and wept.
 "Come," he said briefly, and without resistance she accompanied him in si- lence, broken only by her sobs, back to the house.
 The girl let them in and at once sur missed by the grief of her mistress that the friend who was i'll had died.
 Tom led his wife into their sitting room, and there she sank into chair, covering her face with her hands. She saw by his stern demeanor that he suspected her guilt.
 He closed the door, then standing be- fore her said sternly:
