Statistics OF Diela In ItaIv

Duel ste tistics, grewsome though
they are, are interesting reading.
An Italian man of figures" has
taken the trouble to ascertain to
what extent his country has contrib
uted during ten years toward the in
crease in the army of duelists. The
following figures are the result of
his researches: From 1884 to 1894 no
less than 947 duels were fought in
Italy ovoY newspaper controversies,
730 by rival lovers, 377 over political
questions, 2S9 for insults, 1873 for
private reasons and 0 over gambling
quarrels. In 70 cases the cause of
the duel was unknown. Journalists
and officers in Italy are first among
duelistS. OF the a3S duols fought in
1854, 1876 were fought by journalists
and 1865 by officers in tho army. Of
ducling lawyers there were g.; stu
dents, So; professors, %; deputies,
IA; engineers and architects, 10:

EngIand's Chestnut at Torworth.

1t is said that tho largest chestnut
tree known in the world is at Mount
Etna, i'll Sicily, but one of the oldest
and most remarkable trees in Great
Britain is u chestnut at Torworth,
the residence of the Earl of Dncie,
near Bristol. In the reign of Sto.
phcn, who uSccnded the throne in
1875, it WAS, we gather from The
NaturalistS' journal, doomed SO re-
markahlo for its size that, as appears
upon record, it was we'll known as a
signal boundary to the manor of
Torworth. 1t seems probable that
this tree is 1000 years old at least.
1t is still in very fair vigor and last
year produced large crop of nuts.
1t measures nearly so feet in circum-
ference. The body is short-only
about 10 feet in height-and it then
divides in , three huge trunks, one
of which measures nearly 80 feet in
girth. -WeStminster Gazette.

 New Scheme Is to Have Capital of S35,-
 OOO, 900.
 New York, Aug. 15.-The stockholders who object to the plans of the reorgan- ization committee of the Distilling and Cattle Feeding company, commonly known as the Whiskey Trust, renewed the fight insthe supreme court to-day to prevent the committe from carrying out their scheme of reorganization.
 Louis Marshall of counsel for the ob- jecting stockholders, made an applica- ton to Justice O'Brien of the supreme court, chambers, to-day for resettle- ment of the order denying an injunc- ton to restrain. the reorganization committee from bidding the sevnteen distilleries which were sold at Chicago yesterday for $9,S00,000 by order of the United States court.
 Lawyer Marshall said that while the refusal of an injunction had permitted the reorganization committee to bid at the sale yesterday, yet there seemed to be some question in the courts mind as to the legality of certain acts of the committees scheme of reorganization He said that the entire plan of the reorganization committee was before the court and the application for an in- junction and Lawyer Marshall asked Justice O'Brien to so modify his pre- vious order denying the injunction as to prevent the committee from carry ing out the scheme of transferring the property purchased yesterday to a new company about to be organized with a capital stock of $35, 100000
 He said that a resettlement of the order was asked for because the com mittee had bought the distilleries and | would carry out it's plans before papers could be prepared to enjoin them in another action.
 Decision was reserved.

CLINTO NTTLLE.

Aug. 15-The meeting conducted by the ladies at the chapel last Sunday evening was one of the most interest ing and profitable ever held there.

Brainard, after which extracts from various sources were read by Mrs. c. B. Sherwood, Mrs. w. E. Fowler and the Misses Edith Vih- bert, Blanche Clinton and Grace Page. Miss Edith Futile gave a brief sketch of the life and work of Frances ID. Will lard, Miss Mary l.. Richardson of Fran ces Ridley Havergal and Miss Bertha Bruder of Florence Nightingale. Mrs. S. G. Vibbert read a fine essay on the general topic and Mrs. c. B. Foote, with excellent effect, beautiful poem '"The Woman of Samaria.' Good sing ing by a quartet consisting of Mrs. w. E. Fowler Mrs. O. A. Brainard, Mrs c. B. Sherwood and Miss Emma Haus- man added much to the interest of the occasion.
 At the close MT c. B. Foote, in few well chosen words, expressed the appre- citation of the audience He also said the true sphere of the ''new woman" is in the lines of work which she has so signally blessed in all history. When the greater proportion of our church membership consists of women and her strong influence is felt in all lines of Christian work, we may well con- sider not what Christianity has done for women. but what woman has done for Christianity
