AN AMERICAN DUEL
Poor shots--All the Cartridges Fired.
No One Killed,

Az ShO AAAAAO0s
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The Jour.
nal this morning says: Warren
Radcliffe McVeagh and Paul Tup-
per Wilkes fought duel with re-
volvers at short distance on the
parade at Fort Lee yesterday. They
were seconded by Robert Ratcliff
Owens and Frank Butler. Both
men were wounded. The four
young men engaged in the affair OF
honor are well known locally,
while three OF them enjoy reputa-
tions that might almost be called
national. Mr.. McVeagh is news
paper man, writer of short stories
and a leading member of southern
society. Mr.. Wilkes is famous
throughout the west as the slayer
of George Shepard, one of the lead
ers of the Riel rebellion, and his
second, Mr.. Frank Butler, is lee
turer Of considerable renown, a son
of the late Col. George Butler, U.
S. consul to Egypt under President
Grant, and Of Rose Z. Eytinge, the
world known actress. Mr.. Wilkes
is son Of ex-Judge Wilkes, Of
South Dakota, and a lineal de-
scendant of Johd Wilkes.
The Journsl says the wounds re-
ceived by the two contestants were
not serious. The firing of all the cart
ridges and not the actual injuries
received terminated the duel, &C
cording to arrangements made at
the start. Principals and seconds
when seen last evening admitted
all of the facts set forth in this
story, refusing only to divulge the
original cause of the trouble.
Mr.. Owens called at the Journal
office later and asked that this
story be suppressed. II it were
published, he said, he should be
compelled to deny that any duel
had taken place.

SHAVING STANDS:

There's economy in shaving
if a man could only learn to
handle a razor without danger
of losing his skin. But women
folks have such a fashion of
putting things IN out of the
way places, that there is little
encouragement for a man to
practice the BARRIERS act upon
himself unless he is certain
that he can find his shaving
materials when he wants them.
Shaving Stands are made for
shavers, and one of them in
the house obviates all annoy
ances-there's a place for
everything and everything in
to place.
We have fifty different styles
for you to select from, and you
can get one at your own price.

BEDROOM SUITS:

In oak or birch are selected
by people whose tastes run to
the refined and elegant. For
room decoration as well as for
service there is a certain ele-
gance and richness about these
woods not found in any other,
and yet the prices are not what
you would imagine them to be.
Birch sets with dressing cases
having cheval plate mirrors
are preferred by ladies, because
the long glass allows them a
view of the full figure. The
old fashioned large square glass
is quite as fashionable and as
much in demand because the
bureaus to which they are at
tached give larger space for
clothing. ..
We have them in all styles
and in modern designs.
Price from $25 to $50.

DINING TABLES ::

Each an original in design;
none are copies. All the best

intended for large rooms are
heavy and solidly carved.
Others have more lightness

AS to price. Hand carving
takes time and money; tia
more carving on a table tho

Rich wood is expensive, the
larger the table the larger the

In Antique Oak from 81 to

furniture such as we show
you. As in other articles, oak
in antique designs is the favo-
rite for book cases; rich carving
adds to the appearance and
increases the cost, we have
them both plain and fancy
and the workmanship governs
the price; the man of limited
means can get something to
suit his finances with the same
facility as the man who has
money to burn"

CHIFFOUIERS::

In these days when ladies
require many changes of cloth
ing, or where the family house
hold is made mp of many little
ones, there is a demand for
space in which to put things
away. The bureau drawers
are crowded and few houses in
Honolulu are provided with
necessary closets. A Chitfo-
nier, then, is necessary in
every home where storeroom
is scarce.
These are made nowadays
for the use of gentlemen as
well as ladies', and the designs
for one are quite as pretty as
for another; some have a drop
lid which unfolds to the gaze
a regular recepticle for pens,
ink, paper and other articles
of stationary,
Birch and oak are the ruling
woods and the price depends
upon the size-from $l4 to
$3.50.

Tho Irish American Military Union De-
clares for Ireland's Independence.
NEW YORK, June ia special con-
vention of the Irish-American Military
union was held Sunday in this city.
About 600 delegates were present from
various sections of the country. The
meeting was called for the purpose of
adopting measures for the utilization
of all Irish American military organi-
cations with the union in view of prob
able eXigencies in connection with the
question of lrelands dependence, and
also to consider the advisability of hav-
ing an encampment next year for the
assembling of the Irish-American troops
from the various states. A resolution
was adopted inviting ''all Irish-Ameri-
can military organizations in the
UniGed States to affiliate with this
union to the end that we may be in a
position to take concerted action at all
times and may establish such brother
hood OF affection as will in its strength
be capable OF effective work toward
securing Ireland's independence"

Richard was born in town In northern
Massachusetts,, and III 1902 his father
took him to Truxton, Cortland county,
a section Of the country then almost
wilderness, in which penrs and pam
theirs abounded. The elder Riclard
owned the only team of horses for
miles around and on one Of these horses
it was lsracrs proud distinction when
he attained the age of six years to ride
to the mill carrying bags OF corn. The
boys early life was made up of Il great
deal of work and very little pay, with
hardly any time for schooling He be-
came farmer, and removed to Cort-
land when young man, settling down
there with the intention of living out
his life on his farm. For many years
he lived quietly with no disturbing ele-
ment in the quiet routine of existence
until the rebellion broke out. At an
age when most men are beginning to
look toward rest Us the greatest of all
things to be desired, Mr.. Richard
caught the martial fever and started
for the front. He was, in spite of his
sixty years, as straight as an arrow
and much more agile and powerful,
than the average man Of half his age.
His first work was to take charge of
wagon train, his long familiarity
with horses having marked him as
suitable for this duty. But he wasn't
satisfied with IT, When his company
went to the front and the smell of
powder reached his nostrils he made
his way to headquarters, and secured

He got gun few days later and

Secretary Olney to Stretch the Monroe
Doctrine.

SecreIhrg olhtS u
Doctrine.
CARACAS, Venezuela, June 1T.-Every
one here is anxious to know
what policy Secretary Olney will
adopt concerning this country
and its quarrel with England.
1t was we'll understood Secretary
Gresham had promised to intercede in
our behalf, asking England to submit
to arbitration, as Lord Granville had
promised Guzman Blanco in 1883 would
be done, promise which Lord Sails
bury afterward refused to recognize. A
seini-official telegram from Washington
says Secretary Olney will follow Secre-
tary Greshams policy and will finish
q new Interpretation of the Monroe
doctrine which the latter had under
study, enlarging its scope.
Government officials say the govern
ment has been assured it will not have
to cede the territory between Essejuibo
and Pumpabrima, on the Orinoco delta,
including the immensely rich min
ing region lying back of it. The
presence of an American commission
in Nicaragua examining the canal is
pointed to as an indication the United
States hereafter will take more de-
termined stand in favor of American
republi as against Europe.

A PORK STORY or THE WAR.

Confederate OGlcor Relates How His
Camp Was supplied with Frosh Ham.
Capt William Hickman, one of Uncle
Sans revenue inspectors here, had
some very interesting experiences dur
ing tho years he followed the lost
cause, and lie loves to relate them.
One of the best stories he tells is on
Gen. 10 Shelby, in whose command he
served. Recently he chatted with some
friends and related this story:
at wns during the Red river cam
palgn and we were quartcrcd at mis-
cradle little village where there was
little to eat and that of a very poor
quality. We lived for long time on
the poorest quality of beef ever saw
and the result was we almost starved
to death. The rules of the camp were
very strict, and it was almost impossi-
BILE to get out and back again with any
outside provisions without detection.
But times got so very tough that we
decided to try it, One day one of the
boys and myself got outside and after
wandering around through the creek
bottoms for several hours found nice
fat hog. What did we do with the
hog? Well, never mind if you can't
guess easy. The hog won't squeal on us
now. After getting those nice hams and
shoulders wrapped up in our blanket
30 as to look like u sack OF corn we de-
