Mr.. Isaac Homer, proprietor Of
the Burton House, Burton, W. Va,
and one of the most widely known
men in the state was cured OF rheu-
matism after three years of suffer-
ing. He says: 81 have not snfli-
cient commander language to convey
any idea of what | suffered. My
physicians told me that nothing
could be done for me and my
friends were fully convinced that
nothing but death would relieve ne
of my suffering. In June, 1894,
Mr.. Evans. then salesman for the
Wheeling Drug Co., recommended
Chamberlain Pain Balm. At this
time my foot and limb were swollen
to more than double their normal
size and it seemed to me my leg
would burst, but soon after / began
using the Pain Balm, the swelling
began to decrease, the pain to leave,
and now / consider that I am entire
ly cured. For sale by L. G.. Mat

THE HOSPITAL.

Elsewhere will be found a COM
munication in reference to the hospi-
tai in Martinsburg. The collection
of doctors are very agreeable but
there are others of noted reputation
who have been overlooked. Posi-
bly, this may have been failure to
recognize the other leading physi-
clans in the town. If the Kings
Daughters are intended to be dispen,
sers of not only charity but also of
attention to human suffering they
must change their line SO far as
published, of caring for patients, and
OF proper management for the hospi-
tai. The physicians named are
creditable gentlemen, but why not
get the other creditable physicians
into the fold and not let the sheep
die at the railroad station without
christian attention and help. If this
is to be hospital let it be one with
thanks, mercy and kindness to all.
We say let it be such.

FRENCH SOCIETY DUEL
Count De Montesquion Wounded BY
Henri De Regnier.
REsULToP A BAETERING REMARK

The Count. Indirectly Charged by a
Woman With Cowardice at the Ba-
zaar Fire, Issues a Challenge which
Is Accepted After Delays.
Paris, June 1e.-All Paris is talking of
the duel with swords fought yesterday
afternoon between two members of the
old nobility, Count Robert de Monies
quion and Henri de Regnier. at Neuilly
lie Vallois, growing out of a remark
made by Mile. Heredia, the sister-in-
law of Regnier, a few days ago in the
salon of the Baroness Alphonse de
Rothschild. Mile, Heredia, who was
with her sister, Nine. Regnier, turned
the conversation on a handsome cane
carried by the Count de Montesquion,
who stood near her, and remarked that
1t was just the sort of cane that might
have been used at the charity bazaar
fire to beat the ladies.
The count overheard the remark, and
interpreted 1t as an insinuation of cow
ardly conduct on his part toward wo-
men at the fire. Immediately with
drawing from the salon he sent a chal-
lenge to NJ. De Regnier, who was es-
corting his wife and sister-in-law, and
before midnight seconds were appoint
ed and the Dreliminaries of the duel
arranged. On consideration, however,
the seconds of De Regnier submitted to
the counts seconds that the remark
was one of mere banter, upon which
the count ought not to place so serious
n construction, and urged that the
matter be arbitrated.
a. HHz -
twitted De Regnier with being afraid
to meet him, and branded him in the
newspapers as a coward. This result
ed in a challenge from De Regnier,
after three days spent in the discus
sion of conflicting statements as to the
precise words used by Mile. Heredia
and Nine. De Regnier, who had echoed
her sisters remarks. The Count De
Montesquion Immediately accepted this
challenge. His seconds were the Count
Dion de Montesquion and Maurice Bar
res, and NJ. De Regnier's were Henri
Houssaye and Jean Beraud.
The duel was fought in the presence
of Georges Hugo and the artists NM
Forain and Caran d'Ache. The COM
batants attacked each other with the
greatest vigor, and for ten minutes
fought to kill In the third encounter
the Count de Montesquion was severely
wounded in the back of the right hand.
The surgeons then interfered and re-
fused to allow the combat to proceed.
The combatants on withdrawing de-
clined even to bow to each other. The
affair has made a tremendous sensa-
ton, as 1t may prove the first incident
in general boycott socially of num-
Der of men who are persistently accused
in certain quarters of having displayed
the rankest cowardice at the charity
bazaar fire.
M. De Regnier did not take his first
lesson in fencing until after he had re-
ceived the challenge of the Count de
Montesquion. He is poet and a lead
er in the decadent school of poetry He
spent the whole morning in sorting his
manuscripts, which, after he had care
fully locked them in boxes, he sent 10
his secretary for safe custody. Last
evening he called at the counts resi-
dence, but it is not believed that
reconciliation has been effected.
