A BALLOON DUEL.

During the investment of Paris by
the German forces in 1870, frequent al
tempIs were made by plucly French
men to communicate with those inside
the beleagured city by means of bal
looms. None of these voyages, how
ever could compare for exciting and
perilous incidents, with one which was
performed by the well-known aeronaut
NJ. Nadar. That gentleman left Tours
fer Paris with important government
dispatches at o'clock one morning.
At IL he was within view of the cap
ital, and while floating some 5000 feet
above Fort Charenton, a second ball
loon was observed on the horizon. NJ
Nadar at once displayed the French
flag, and the other balloon responded
by exhibiting the same colors. Grad
ually the two balloons approached one
another. being drawn in the same d.
rection by the current of air. When
they were separated only by short
distance several explosions we've heard !;
the stranger had commenced to fire
shots at NJ. Madras balloon, the In
trepide.' which began to descend; rap
idly The French flag had by this time
been taken in by the other balloon and
the Prussian colors were exhibited in
stead. Those who were watching the
affair from the French fort below, and
who now saw the character and object
of the pursuer cried out that Nadar
was lost; but they were mistaken. He
had scrambled upon the car up the
network of the balloon on the first
shot from the enemy, apparently to
stop hole made in the tissue, and he
now descended as the balloon righted
itself, and on quantity of ballast
being thrown out again rose high in
the air. Then, loading a rife with ex-
plosive bullets, he fired shots with
rapid succession into the Prussian bal
loon, which SUDDENLY split upon and
sank to the earth with headlong ra-
pidity. On reaching the ground de-
tachment of Uhlans, who had watched
the combat from the plain, picked up
their own aeronauts, evidently severely
injured, and rode off to the Prussian
outposts. NJ. Nadar then descended in
safety at Charenton, meeting with an
enthusiastic ovation for his victory.

THE GODDESS OF PEACE.

II an up-to-6ate goddess Of peace were
established by the smart set there are
plenty of candidates for tossing olive
branches at her feet. For instance, the
Vanderbihs and the Wilson's mislt bu-y
the Ratchet, dug up because OF J-.e re-
cent marriage of young Cornelius TO
Miss Grace Wilson. In this particular
row there are innumerable supporters
en- both sides. One of the Wilson girls
is married to a Goelet, and naturally
the Goelets take tine Wilson side. Orme
Wilson married Carrie Assor. so the
AStors are brought into the fuss.

the proposed goddess with satisfactory
resulcs to society az large. The Van

IN HEl.L's KITCHEN.
Experience of New Policeman of 4
Tough Quarter in Gotham.

Ln SIOtn1a1t-
Whenever new policeman appears in
Helrs Kitchen. he is sure to have a
bewildering experience. If he conquers
the gang he is safe forever after. If
the gang conquers him he had better
go to some other precinct. HelIs
Kitchen is on the far west side. between
Thirtieth and Forty-fifth street, among
the gas houses, breweries and slaughter
houses.
James d. Cunningham was the ney'
policeman last night. His post covered
Thfrty-seventA and Thirty-eignth
streets. between Tenth and Eleven
avenues. He marched out swinging his
night stick with great show of nom
chalance,' but really feeling like the
Kentuckian invited to take a drink in
Maine-hoping for the best and fearing
the worst.
The Helrs Kitchen gang didn't do a
thing to Cunningham. They gathered in
groups on The corners, and when he or
dered them to move on they moved am.e.
loud cries of "Wah-ah-ah; go chasS
y'selfr'
Finally William johnson, eighteen
years old, of No. 452 west Twerty-sev-
enth street, refused to move INSTEAD of
smashing Johnson's head with the night
Stuck, as an old policeman wOnId nave

''Ah-h-f-h. Yer nottin but a dunn
N.Y. said Johnson, as he Suddenly dart
ed forward and punched Cunningham
en- the cheek. Almost at the same in
slant a dozen other fists struck the new
policeman. Blows seemed to shower on
him from the sky. He drew his night
stick. but he was too late. Johnson's
gang surrounded Cunningham and bat
tered him undlfne fell on his knees.
They kicked and thumped him and
took away his club and battered his
head with 1t. Tire gang were finishing
their work by promenading on Gun
bingham when Policemen Mcdonald
and Butler came running up.
Most of the crowd got away. johnson
might have escaped, too, if he had not
been so absorbed in the delight Of
wilacking Cunningham on. the head with
his own club that he couldn't hear
friendly shouts of warning.
The policemen ran up Eleventh ave-
nue. and caught Christopher Fielder,
twenty years old, OF No. 453 Tenth ave
nue., and Frank Mount, nineteen years
old. of No. SOL West Thirty third street.
Cunningham was battered and muddy,
but not much hurt.--N. Y. World.

AN INTRICATE PROBLEM.

In view of this it can De seen that the
difficulties of entertaining on a large
scale, where the leading factors of each
row must be invited, as we'll as their
respective followers, are not few. In
the natural course CT things these peos
pie run across one another, whether it
be at banquet, reception, cc'tilIion or
wedding. These unfortunate meetings
cast a Dom upon the rest of the guests
and all gayety is shocked into nervous
ness. Besides, the host and hostess are
roundly blamed by both sides fer Dis
playing so little tact in bringing them
together. These conditions have made
entertaining such a delicate problem
that many people will not attempt to
solve it, and will either spend most of
the season in their country homes, the
south or Europe, or entertain only on
most limited scale, inviting the few psO
pie whom they are absolutely sure of.
1t is small wonder, then, that the IDEA
of peace congress- should occur to
some of the few people who don't care a
rap about the rows, but who do care
when the gayety of the winter season is
placed in jeopardy. One man, in talk
ing about the matter in a semi-jCcuiar
way, said: Society in New York nesds
a complete reorganization. The I'M
written laws which govern it have been
outgrown by the times. Matters should
be readjusted on the lines adopted in
some one of the European cities-Rome,
for instance.

now in session at Sieblichen, near this

Ject OF invalid pensions. The discussion
was opened by Herr Book, socialist dep

age limit be reduced to GO years.
Herren Beoel, Mo.kenbulr and Quarck

the administration of the pension funds
be conducted independently of the gov
eminent.
