DUEL WITH POTATOES,
How . Kentucky Preacher Defeated
Desperate OppOneut.

From the Lexington (Ky.) Transcript.
One way of combating an evil practice
is to make 1t ridiculous. 1t was by this
means that dueling was stopped in a GER
tain district in Kentucky some forty years
ago. At that time a travelling preacher
ed Bowman, strong, muscular man, was
conducting a series of religious meetings
in Kentucky. At one of them a well-known
desperate character created a disturbance,
and. being publicly rebuked by Bowman,
sent him a challenge to fight.
The preachers Grst thought was to treat
the matter with silent contempt Then he
reflected that dueling was all too common
in that region, and he decided to accept the
challenge.
As the challenged party Bowman had the
choice of weapons. He selected a half BUSH
ell of large Irish potatoes, and stipulated
that his opponent must stand fifteen PAGES
distant and that only one potato at a time
should be taken from the measure
The desperate was furious but Bowman
insisted upon his rights as the challenged
party, and threatened to denounce the fell
low as a coward If he made further objec-
lions. Seeing no way out Of the scrape the
desperate at last consented.
The contest took place on the outskirts
of the town, and almost everybody in the
place turned out to see the fun. The Sec
onds arranged the two men In position by
the side of each being a half bushel meas
ure filled with good-sized potatoes.
Bowman threw the first one. 1t struck
his opponent in a central spot and fell in
pieces. y shout of delight went up from
the crowd which Hurried the desperate.
and his potato flew wide of the mark
Bowman watched his chance and every
time his opponent stopped for a potato an
other one hit him in the side. leaving a
wet spot on his clothes and then scattering
on all Sides The fellow was hit in this
five fp1nS her 10 Ct VT tot ctr,
him in the short ribs, and he lay on the
grass doubled up with pain and groaning
Enough
The bystanders went wild with delight,
but Mr.. Bowman looked very sober. The
desperate was taken home and put to bed,
and there he stayed for more than a week
And when he again appeared he was greet
ed with so many jokes that life was almost
a burden to him.
That was the end Of dueiing in that re-
gion.

GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS

TOULON, France, June 12.-Four war
ships. under Admiral lie Bourgeois, have
started for Tangier. The ironclads Magen-
ia, Admiral Duperre and Alger, under Ad-
mral Gadaud. have also been ordered to
place themselves in readiness to sail for
Morocco at the shortest notice.
LONDON, June 12.-The news Of a dis
patch of a French fleet to Morocco and Of
the preparation being made to reinforce it
If necessary is attracting considerable at
tention here. The news from Morocco is
far from being reassuring and civil war is
anticipated.
Conflicting reports are still in circulation
in regard to the death Of the late Sultan
of Morocco. and the general opinion seems
to be that Sultan Abdul Aziz will have to
defend his throne with the sword.
The Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon, re-
ferring to the jealousy Of the powers in re-
gard to Morocco. says that the danger to
European peace is due to the fact that NJ
Dupuy is premier and that he may take
this opportunity of striking a blow at En-
glish prestige. A policy Of aggression would
be popular in France and Spain, which
countries would certainly be satisfied with
a dual control of Morocco. excluding Eng
land from having any voice In the aHalrs
of that country.
pect that a civil war will be the only way
Of settling the succession to the throne OF
Morocco.
The Globe, in view of the dispatch OF q
French fleet to Morocco, counsels the i'm
mediate strengthening Of the British neet
off the coast Of that country.
A dispatch to the Standard from Madrid
says:
The Spanish munster at Tangier tele-
graphs TO the government that the foreign
minister at Tangier has informed the for
a malignant fever from which he had suf-
fered before. No doctor was present at the
time of his death.
All the Spanish officers and diplomats

Apr ehend serious trouble II the fanatical
party, headed by Muley Mahommed, the
eldest son of the late sultan, should resist
the proclamation of his brother rs sultan.
1t appears that Muley Mahommed had late
~ given his father so much offense that he
kept him under arrest for some time. and
bad conduct. but had ultimately allowed
him to go to Fee. Four brothers Of the
late sultan are also likely to prove a source
of trouble to Abdul Aziz.
TANGIER. June 12.-The remains Of the
late Sultan Muley Hassan have been sent.
under military escort. TO Rabat for burial.
The succession of the late sultan's young
est son. Abdul Aziz. has been accepted at
Casa Blanca but a hostile feeling prevails
at Fee where Muley Ismail, brother Of
the deceased sultan. has been acting as the
sultan's representative. Muley Ismcil Is a
popular favorite, and trouble is feared.

Novelties in Ladies' Skirts.

The portion of the costume which
seems to be the leading subject of
INQUIRY at the present moment is
the Skirt. While bodlces and
sleeves are still following to some
extent the general lines OF the for
mer season, skirts are absorbing
theme of interest in the new impor
tatlons. Great is their variety.
The question of choice embraces an
extensive field, both OF extreme
novelties and simple practical de-
signs. Models to suit every caste
aud occasion are illustrated in the
popular Mcdowell Fashion Jour
nails which we have at hand. One
finds, moreover, in these magazines
IN their coupon patterns, a feature
exceedingly convenient for those
who desire a cheaper grade of pat
terms than the more expensive
made up models. Among these
coupon patterns are seen some ar
tistic and practical skirt designs fl
ling very appropriately a general
demand for the latter. The price Of
La Mode de Paris and Paris Album OF
Fashion" Is So so each for a years
subscription or 80 cents per copy.
"The French Dressmaker'' costs
$500 per alnum, or 80 cents Der
copy. "La Mode" with its low
price, sl.50 per year, or Is cents
a copy, is an admirable home mag
azine. For the accommodation of
customers they contain coupons
patterns, which as regards styles
and price are unequalled. If you
