A CLOSE RANGE DUEL.
Two Hot Headed Southern Youths Fight Il
 6 Small Room.


 Small Room.
 MONTGOMERY, Ala, April 23.-A deplor- able tragedy here resulted in the death of enc young man and the possibly fatal wounding of another. Walter l.. Brag, son of the late interstate commerce com missioner, and Dr. Jesse Naftel had mis- understanding at the theater, where Sen ator Morgan spoke. They did not know each other, but had seats close together. Naftel spoke to Brag regarding the posi- tion in which the latter placed himself, claiming that he was obstructing bis view of the stage and speaker. He finally said to Brag, "A gentleman would not act that way" Brag then gave his name and aske Naftels in return, with the statement that the matter could be settled afterward.
 Brag went into drug store where Mai tells office Is located and asked Naftel to step aside. They went to the rear, where Il partition separated the store into two parts. Those in front heard no converse tion, and the first they knew of the diff culty came with the sound of rapid firing Who fired first or what was said is not known. Brag was fatally shot in the ab- domen and died in an hour.
 Naftel WAS wounded in two or three places, but not seriously except where ' pistol ball struck him squarely be- tween the eyes on top of ths bridge of the nose. Naftsl was taken to his home. Brag was all attorney of decided ability and bade fair to make . ran"tat;"-

Salvador and the White Cat.

Some peculiarities of the great Salvador are related by MT. Joseph Swigert, who, in speaking of the famous record holder says: ''He was the most vigorous yearling I ever saw. The blanks of the stall he occupied down in my place when he was yearling and 2-year-old are covered with imprints of his heels. He was given to the most pc culiar attachments. There was an old white cat about the stable, and the pair be, came companions. Any other animal that entered the stall would send Salvador into a rage, and he would trample upon it and kill it. But many a time have I seen this old cat perched upon the colts back per fectly at case It would get down and rub its back against the colts legs, and he would bend his head and lick it all over"

 Choate's Influence at Political Meeting.
 Special Correspondence.l
 NEW YORK, April 17.-Coloncl Inger- soil, speaking of orators and oratory re- gently, named Kossuth among the great est masters of spoken address. Chauncey NJ. Dcpew, delivering memorial oration at the ceremonial in honor of kossuth at Cooper Union, New York, dwelt with al most reverent eloquence upon these pow CTS of the Hungarian patriot, intimating that it was duo in great measure to his impassioned appeals for the freedom of Hungary and her people that tho patriot gained his influence to mold~his country men to his view.
 Ono of the ablest of American editors, himself a speaker of no little charm, in de- scribing Kossuths eloqucnce, said that 1t caused him to think of John Randolph's s description of tho oratorical powers of O'Conncll the Irish patriot and statesman. Randolph said after hearing O'Connell, "This is the man, these are the lips, the most eloquent that speak English in my day"
 Mr. Dcpcw, being asked by friend if the day of such cloqucnce and oratorical power as distinguished koSsuth had pass ed, said that the day when the spoken word would be supplantcd by any other form Of persuasion would never como so long as mon and women are what they now are The prcss instead of rcprcssing both the power of oratory and the capacity for public speaking of high quality, as so many have claimed, only whctted the de- sire of Americans to see and hear great speakers.
 A fine illustration of that assertion was furnished by MT. Depew's friend day or two after his chat with that great orator. The newspapers of New York had for some months discussed with much ability cer- tain plans for a rapid transit system for New York involving the expenditure of as much as $50, 900, 900. The chamber of com mere, a body composed of some of the most influential citizens of Now York, had reported a certain resolution favOring this plan It was about to take vote, which, it was believed would be unanimous.
 Abram S. Hewitt sat in a remote corner of the room. He looked with eyes that seemed to have something of reproach in them at the chairman of tho chamber, but he said nothing. At last the chairman asked him to express his opinion. MT. Hewitt arose almost hcSitatingly. He be- gan in such low tones as distinguish q man who has what the orators call stage fright. In d few moments his voice be- came clear. His eyes became bright with the Carncstncss of his convictions. He spoke with cloqucncc, yet using simple words and few rhetorical embellishments. The able mon before him sat intent, some leaning forward that they might catch every word
 When he was done, MT, Hewitt had for a moment the most impressive of tributes that silence which means more than ac-
