Details of an Awful Combat Between .
 Prince and . Playwright.
 The Prince de Sagan, believing that he recognized in a character in La Meute, !" the new play at the Renaissance in Paris, a resemblance to himself, chal. lenged Nj. Abel Hermant the author. The duel was fought in the park at St Ouen on the 18th inst and is thus de scribed by Le Temps:
 ''The Prince de Sagan was the first to alight from his carriage He raised his hat as M. Abel Hermant and his seconds appeared At the same time all hats were doffed in the group of those present The seconds measure out 20 paces and at each limit fix stakes, near which the combatants take their places
 Both are in black from head to foot wearing long overcoats buttoned up to the chin, with black scarfs concealing the neck The slight and thin silhouette of M. Hermant seems to offer less easy target than the tall. broad shouldered form of the prince, whose white head. moreover. forms. so to speak. a good mark.
 In spite of the sun. which is shining brightly enough at this moment, the air is very fresh. A cold wind stirs the grass round the two men and moves the skirts of their overcoats
 ''The preliminaries of the combat are very brief. The Comte de Dion takes from their box the pistols loaded by employees of Gastine Renette. and. standing between the two oombatants, reminds them that they are to fire after the word of command, 'Feur and that they may aim until he has counted aloud, 'Un, deux, troisp Then he hands them the weapons, returns to his post as directeur de combat, and in clear tones says: Gentlemen, kindly cock your pistols
 ''There is click, and then: Gentle men, are you ready? Firei One, two, threep M. Abel Hermant is the first to fire, almost immediately after the word 'FeuP the Prince de Sagan between 'Deux' and .Trois The two black sill houettes stand still in front of each oth- CT.

Neither of them, however, is hit

Make the Memorial Day Joyful.

Any celebration of this day W hich should tend to revive and keep in memory those buried causes of conflict, jealousy and sus- picion would be destructive of its true sig nificanoe and baleful only. Let the people run up their flags to the top of the mast. Let the bands play joyful airs and not re. Quiems. Let the flowers with which the graves of the dead are decorated be sym bols of the beauty and symmetry of a Union strengthened and a people harmo- nized by their common devotion to it.
 On which side did he fghtf It matters not. We are all together now. The same flag waves over all, and woe to its enemies. New York Sun.

 Games of Chance.
 The whole world is robbed. What is most sad. there are no cancellations for the loss and suffering entailed by gam ing. If men fail in lawful business, God pities and society commiserates, but where in the Bible or society is there any consolation for the gambler? From what tree of the forest oozes there balm that can soothe the gamester's heart? In that bottle where God keeps the tears of his children are there any tears of the gambler?

Chicago, october The word has been
flashed from republican headquarters in
New York to republican headquarters here
that there Is trouble N Ohio
This statement is accompanied by infor-
nation from Indiana and Michigan which
shows beyond n doubt that Bryan's
chances are best IN those two states.
Very unfavoratle reports nave been re-
ceived by the republican managers from

The result is condemnation The repub-

is to be seen ON ali sides.
1t begins to look as IL the republicans
are at last realizing what the Democratic
managers nave always sail, and that IS
that Illinois ana Indiana ara Michigan
and Minnesota, and even Ohio, are strict
~ drhatlblo ground with the chancrs n
most OF these States slightly in favor OF
democracy.
In bringing about the present constcrna-
tion the New York Herald has played a
prominent part. The llerald'g table con
