ARRANGED FOR A DUEL.
A French Deputy Attacked by An.
other and Challenges Him.

During the sitting of the French cham
Der of deputies yesterday M. Poincarre
minister of finance. alluded to an insulting
article that had been written by NJ Gus
tave Bouanet, a socialist editor who repre-
sents a Partisan constituency in the cham
ber.
NJ Bouanet took umbrage at the Ian
guage of NJ. Poincarre and INDUCED in a.
violently abusive TRADE against the min
lister.
The only reply that NJ. Poincarre degned
to make to the attack upon him was:
Interruptions of this kind are replied to
elsewhere"
This of course meant that challenge
to fight duel would be sent to NJ. Bou-
anct.
After the session NJ. Poincarre sent his
seconds to NJ. Bouanet to arrange for a

 The professional beggar in New York uses various devices to get hearing, for if he can once gain the attention of his intended victim he has taken ths first step toward success.
 Can you direct mo to Ninetieth street and Seventh avenue?" asked Q poorly dressed woman whom I met in Fourteenth street
 "YOu had best take the elevated road at the corner and get off at Ninety-third street." answered.
 How far is it:''
 About four miles, I said.
 That's long walk, and haven't a cent. Could you give mo a nickel to pay my fare:"
 Within three days again met the woman at tho same place with the same story.
 Do you speak German?" asked n young man with n Teutonic countenance in good English.

 "I live in Hoboken. Could you lend me 3 cents to pay my ferriage, as l haven't cent will pay it to some one who is as hard up as am. "
 Twice since then the same man has started the same conversation with me, but he gets no further than the first question.
 A woman was standing at the corner of Twelfth street and Sixth avenue gag. ing intently at the Jefferson market tower.
 My poor old eyes are not much good" sho said in soliloquy and then turning 10 me asked. Can you see what time it is by that clock?"
 Half past Q.
 ''So late? Mister, could you give q poor woman few cents:"
 At 10 o'clock she was still at her post.
 Be careful if you go in there," said Ecnteel appearing man as 1 approach cd the entrance to n place of amuse- ment.
 Why" l asked
 "l have just come out and find have had my pocket picked, and have to go to Yonkers to get home. Could you lend me half dollar: will return it..
 I watched the man until he had col. lectcd two half dollars.
 Did you drop these, sir:" asked q boy as he ran up behind me with n pair of cheap eyeglasses in his hand
 ''No. They arc not mine.
 II am sorry, boss, for l thought you might give me few cents, as have had nothing to eat today"
 Two other men were approached i'll the same manner before had walked a block.

D. W. CALDWELL His very appar- snt talent for tho railroad business and his executive ability then led to his securing the office of general supcrin- tendent of the Pittsbu:g and Connells- vile railroad. In 1859 he became gen eral supc intcndent of the Central Ohio railroad, an office he filled until 1874, when he resigned tO accept n more ad- vantageous position as general manager of the Columbus. Chicago and Indiana Central, tho PittSburE, Cincinnati and St. Louis, the Little Miami, the Cincin- nati and Muskingum Valley, the JefTer- sonville, Madison and Indianapolis and tho Vandalia roads.
 He held this important position until 1881, when the Pennsylvania road again employed him. not as clerk, but as gen eral manager of all the Pennsylvania lines west of PittsburG In 1882 ho was elected vice president of the Nickel Plate road. He was appointed receiver later, and when the road was reorgan ized in lSS1 he was elected president. He pursued a cut rate policy that caus- ed considerable comment in railroad circles, but during his regime, which ended very recently. he succeeded in raising the road from condition of all most hopeless bankruptcy to place among the sound roads of tho east. He resides ill Cleveland and although a bachelor is q very liberal entertainer.

 Dune karns. who displays such an interest ill the colony, was an oil re- zion character almost us celebrated as Coal Oil Johnny. Ho was born at Karns Station. in Butler county, Pa, 5I years ago, was boring for oil in West Virginia before the war, entered the United States army at the age of IT, fought throughout the rebellion and left the service a first lieutenant. After the war he returned to the oil business, and at one time he had an income of s, 900 a day from single oil we'll. Dune was fond of champagne, and whenever he made a rich strike he would smash every silk hat in town and pay for them the next day. He wiis at one time considered worth 8, 900, 900, but lost nearly all his money fighting the Standard Oil company.

Life at Craig-y-Nos a Mixture of stateli-
 ness and Mcanness.
 Sensitive persons who happen to be invited to spend n week with Patti in her castle in Wales may do well to think twice before accepting. The divine Adelina is the reverse of an ideal host ess, and Nicolini is no more pleasing as host.
 Those who have tried it say that life at Craig-y- Nos is n mixture of stateli- ness, show. checscparing and discom- fort. Lights arc out at 10:30 in the cas. tic. In the billiard room, about which so much has been written, guests are not permitted to play on either madame $ or monsicur's own particular table. but must use another, provided solely for them. Both Nicolini and his little spouse are billiard fiends and wouldn't [ have their precious tables touched by prufane players.
 At the sumptuOus dinner table the same royal monopoly exists in respects to wines, the Nicolinis having their own choice and expensive brands and an in- fcrior quality being served to their friends This is all done with absolute frankness on the part of the hosts, and should an unwary visitor help himself from the Nicolini bottle he is brought up with n round turn and told he must not, for that wine is only given to the petted head of the house!-London Cor respondent

Costly Pipes.

The Turkish hookah and the Persian nargile are the most magnificent and expensive of all pipes
 The tubes through which the smoke IS drawn arc made of leather covered with velvet, or with gold and silver among the very wealthy. richly orna- mented with precious stones, while the receptacle for the water is usually form ed of glass handsomely cut, or engraved and gilt, or of precious metals decorated with enamels.
 The liquid in this bowl is frequently rosewater or other delicately perfamed distillation, adding considerably 10 the fragrance of the smoke The tobacco is lighted in a receptacle at the summit of the pipe, which is also formed of gold or silver and studded with magnificent diamonds and other gems. The tubes vary in length from five to ten yards, and the whole paraphernalia is often borne behind a nobleman on horseback, so that by this means he can continue his smoke as the inclination takes him. --Atlanta Constitution.
