CLAY AS A DUELLIST,
Episodes in the Career of the Great
Kentucky Statesman

Henry Clay was one of the men who pro-
fessed sentiments against du"ling which be
did not practice, 81 VS. Once a Week. He was
wounded in an encounter with Humphrey
Marshall in 1909, when he was a member
OF the Kentucky legislature. Marshall was
also wounded. The quarrel, singularly
enough, was about n resolution which
Clay introduced, recommending that men,
bers of the legislature should wear only
clothing OF domestic production.
A later duel and a more famous one was
his encounter with John Randolph, of Vir-
ginia, Senator from that State. Randolph
spoke of the combination supposed to have
been formed between Clay and Adams, by
which Adams was elected President and
Clay was made Secretary of State, as "a
"union of Biifil and Black George-the
blac kleg and the Puritan" Randolph's
pistol went off prematurely. 1t was rO
loaded, and when the signal was given to
fire Clay's bullet passed through flannel
dressing gown which Randolph had worn
to the field.
Randolph, who had told Senator Ben
ton that he would not try to kill Clay, fired
into the air. Mr.. Clay went to him imme-
diately, saying:
II trust in God, my dear sir, that you are
untouched; after what has occurred l
would not have harmed you for the world"
Clay and Randolph were warm friends aft
erward. The duel occurred In Virginia
at the end of the Aqued6ct bridge, Just
opposite Georgetown, April g, 1896. Nine
years later Clay said in the Senate, when
. bill to prohibit the sending or accepting
of challenges in the District of Columbia
was under consideration. that "wilen pub
lie opinion is renovated and chastened by
reason, religion and humanity the practice
of dueling will be discontinued" The bill
passed the Senate by vote of "a to /.

The Origin of Rillinrds.

In a letter dated 1850, which has been
presented to the Bibliotheque Nationale in
Paris. highly ingenious account is given
OF the origin of billiards. The writer de-
clares that billiards Were first invented in
England about the middle of the sixteenth
century by a pawnDroker named Bill Kew.
This man, it is alleged, used in his leisure
moments to play on his counter with the
three brass balls which he hung up DIS IA
sign. For a cue he had yard measure,
whence the term Bill-yard. or Bills yard
corrupted into billiards. This rtympiogy
will hardly satisfy Mr.. Skeat. but it is at
least curious as showing to what lclgths
the speculative etymologist is apt TO go.
The most astonishing thing about 1t, how
ever. is the fact that it is the work Of a
Frenchman, who might have seen at a
glance that billiards is merely uorrup-
ton of his own word, "billiar," from
billie" ball, the termination lard"
being perfectly regular and natural IN the
composition of a word intended 20 desig-
nate the table upon which the balls are
used.-LoDdon Telegraph.

YALE's ELEVEN SHAPING Up.
Practice Game DisclOses Some Good
Material in the Team.

Material in the Team.
New Haven, Oct S.-The practice at the
field yesterday afternoon was such as to
raise considerably the uniycrsity's hopes
of a fine eleven this year. The line ap-
peared stronger, the play snappier, and,
in fact, a general improvement was no
ticeable.
This WAS largely due to the appearance
for the first time during the sea son OF several
old-time players, Sanford and Brown,
guards: Letton, full-back, and Hatch at
end.
Sanford put up an excellent game at
right guard. Capt. Thorne has been hoping
to secure him to strengthen the line, and
if he can get back to his old form of two
seasons ago lie Will prove almost i'll
valuable just now.
Brown played for a few moments aud did
we'll enough tosecure hima seat t the train
ing table. DR.. Saulles, the Lawrence
vile quarter back. and Hatch, the hur-
dler, also appeared. 'Zeus' Longacrc's
game at guard has been such as to place
him in the front rank of candidates.
Sanford's appearance will have the de-
sired effect of making Cross hustle for
his place at center, as the formers ex-
perience will enable him TO fill that posi-
ton as well guard.
In the practice game yesterday Brooke,
of the University of Penns sylvania. tried
for goals from the field seven times
from the 20 yard line. Five times he was
successful. Colbert and Wharton We're
present. but did not play osgood was
there and was pleased with the teams work.
He has offers to coach the University of
Illinois and Wabash College teams, one
OF which he will accept.
n
University of Michigan game scheduled TO
be played in Philadelphia on November .,
was cancelled yesterday by the latter. The
letter stated that their faculty forbid the
game.
There are two ways in which q Pennsyl-
vania Princeton meeting might he effected.
One would be to meet on December 6, un-
der last years rules. Another would be a
deliberate challenge from Pennsylvania to
fight Princeton on November 16, under
the ale-PrncetOn code, if a compromise
were impossible.
The first is entirely practicable. Prince
tons season is over on the I'D. She would
have two weeks to develop her game. Penn
sylvania's last match is on Thanksgiving
Day with Cornell. Ten days would be
ample time for a general recuperation and
freshening up. The first suggestion would
be difficult of adoption, but Pennsylvania
could do 1t.
The London Globe, alluding to the de-
feat of the Cambridge team by the Yale
athletes, says: Their defeat was hardly
unexpected, but so entire Yale triumph
seemed altogether out of the question.
If America cannot prove her claims of the
river, she at all events is vastly superior
to England on the track. IL we wish to at
tain the American standard there must
be an alteration in current theories here"
