The sIalbcrd.

The distinctive weapon of the Swiss
was the halberd, which was their prin-
cipal weapon at Morgarten and Laupen.
1t is curious to note how the Teutonic
nations, even to this day, prefer the cut
and the Latin nations the point. We
have been told by German officers that
when the Germany and French cavalry
met in the war of 1870 the German
sword blades always flashed vertically
over their heads, while the French dart
ed in and out horizontally in a success
sion Of thrusts. Even the German dead
lay in whole ranks with their swords at
arms length. So the English at Hast
ings worked havoc with their battle
axes. The Netherland mercenaries car
ried hewing weapon at Bouvines. The
Flemings at Courtrai used their goden-
days fitted alike both for cut and thrust,
and finally the Swiss made play with
their halberds, an improvement on the
godendag.
The halberds had a point Cor thrust
ing, hookwherewith to pull men from
the saddle and above all broad, heavy
blade, "most terrific weapons (valde
terribilia"), to use the words of John
Of Winterthur, "cleaving mon asunder
like a wedge and cutting them into
small pieces" One can imagine how
such blade at the end Of an eight foot
shaft must have surprised galloping
young gentlemen who thought them
selves invulnerabIe in their armor.

A Curious Divorce.

The charming old Duchess Wilhelmine
of Sleswick Holstein, grandaunt Of the
present empress of Germany, was the
divorced wife Of King Frederick VII Of
Denmark. The duchess, who subsequent
ly married the younger brother of the
present king, had no alternative left her
than to demand and obtain a dissolution
of her union with Frederick, for her
place in his affections and at the head Of
the household had been usurped by hei
French modiste, who was subsequently
invested by the late king with the title
of Countess Danner. Many years later
he yielded to her opportunities and le-
galized his relations with her after q
fashion by a morganatic marriage.
Notwithstanding her antecedents she
was treated with the utmost considera-
tion by the present king and queen Of
Denmark when they were eking out a
scanty subsistence in Copenhagen previ-
ous to their succession to the throne,
and it was from her that the Princess Of
Wales, the present czarina of Russia and
the Duchess of Cumberland acquired
not only their unrivaled taste for dress,
but also the practical knowledge which
they possess of how to make dresses and

at Nashville in 1870. His professional
career did not begin until 1894, when
he accepted his first engagement with
the Lynchburg club. His all around
work that year was Of such satisfac-
tory nature, and he gave such promise
of doing still better with more expert
ence, that he was re-engaged for the
season of 1895, which lasted five months,
beginning on April 10 and ending on
Sept. IA, Leahy taking part during the
period in one hundred and seventeen
championship contests, in one hundred
and ten Of which he credltably filed
the position of short shop, and in the
other seven games he played at second
base and in the outfield. His work at
short stop was of the highest order,
having dash and snap that infused
life and energy into that done by his
fellow players. While not being a rec
ord player, he is credited with num-
ber of fine fielding feats. The most
noteworthy Of these performances was
the accepting of all Of ten chances in
game against the champion Rich
mond team, played on May 81, at Rich
mond, Va, and the accepting of four
teen out of fifteen chances In a game
against the Roanoke nine, Aug. %, at
Lynchburg, Va. On Sept. 3, at Lynch
burg, in a game with the Portsmouth
team, he was credited with ten assists,
some of them being very difficult to
handle. While he was never known as
hard hitter, he has done some good
and timely batting. In a game against
the Roanokes, on April 20, at Lynch
burg, he made three safe hits, includ-
ing three triple baggers. He also made
home run and a double bagger in
game against the Richmond team,
on April "a, at Lynchburg. In a game
against the Norfolks, on Aug. 15, at
Lynchburg, he was credited with four
safe hits, including triple bagger.
He also made three safe hits, includ-
ing a double Dagger, in a game with
the Champion Richmond team on Aug.
Fl, at Lynch burg.

The Cincinnati club officials have de-
cided that their team shall do their
preliminary work in the South. AS
soon as the matter had been settled,
Manager Bancroft set the wires going,
and finally secured the grounds at New
Orleans for a month, and he and Capt.
Ewing will take their players to the
Crescent City about March s, and re-
main there till the last part Of
the month, when they will work their
way home, playing games in the prin-
cipal cities en- route, and arriving
home in time to open the preliminary
season on Saturday, April 3, with the
University Of Cincinnati team. Capt.
Ewing will take at least twenty men
south with him, number of them
being from the Western league, and
he expects to develop one or more good
ones. Ewing considers his catchers,
pitchers and infield strong enough, but
would like to get another strong out
fielder to go with Holiday and Mil
Ter, but II nothing better turns up he
has Hoy and Burke to fall back on.
After President Brush had failed to
obtain Clarke's release from the Louis
vile club, he said: II sincerely hope
that If any club succeeds in getting
Clarke 1t will be Western club. There
is no doubt about 1t that the Eastern
teams as whole are stronger than
those In the West. A Western man
ager cannot get a player from the
East. Time and again has 1t been
tried, but the Fasteners appear to be
arrayed against us. The only thing
that we can do is to. build up our teams
with young players, and in time we will
be able to dictate to the East. At the
present time the East depends more
upon the West for players than does
the West upon the East. In time mat
ters will come out Gll right, but It
requires time"

Gladstone on Montsnesro's Traditions.

We have the greatest respect for
Prince Nicholas Of Montenegro, but a
natural dislmclination to have to start
reading history all over again from the
beginning makes us hope that Mr.. Glad
stones compliment to him, conveyed
through The Chronicle, may carry a
little more than the stern facts Of the

tions of Montenegro, now committed to
his highness AS a sacred trust, exceed i'll

le and all the war traditions of the
world.

man if he does not grow warm all over
on reading this, but is it not a little

ever, here is a chance for the writers Of
historical romance. They are said to be
rather hard up for new periods just
now. Why, then, not try Montenegro?

To more readily understand the re-

be said that 7O70O ems of nonpareil is
the equivalent of nearly twelve col
