DE CHIMAY FIGHTS A DUEL
Former Husband of Clara Ward Chal-

Paris, April 26.-The outcome of the
article by NJ. Clemenceau in The Echo

tween NJ. Clemenceau and Prince Car

simultaneously, Clemenceau receiving
q cash in the right arm and the prince

NJ. Clemenceau's article in The Echo

food and other comforts of life.

parsonage to prevent her from going

What was the honoC of the Chimay

SEEING AND BELIEVING.
Some of the Tricks the Eyes Play on
the Understanding.


1t is an old and wise saying that sec.
ing is believing" yet everybody knows
that very often what you see, and there
fore believe, proves to be not really true
at all. As we grow older, says writer
in st. Nicholas, finding that our eyes
have so frequently deceived us. we are
often not satisfied until we have verified
it by touch or smell or hearing or taste.
or by looking at some doubtful thing
from different points of view, or under
a different lighting.
We are not willing to believe that a
conjurer actually draws rabbits from
n mans ear or coin from the tip of his
rose just because our eyes tell us such
tales. Sometimes our receptions are
so lasting that things must bt made
wrong in order to look right. which
seems rather contradictory. If we look
at the letter S or the figure as care
fully as we can the upper and lower
halves seem to be almost exactly the
same size. If we turn them upside down.
the difference in the size of the loops is
quite astonishing. and we wonder how
we could have been so mistaken; yet
perhaps the truth is that the loops are
neither so different nor so much alike
as they seem to be. as we see when we
look at them turned upon their sides.

COREAN PAPER.
It Is Better Than That of China or
Japan.

1t Is Better Than That of China or
Japan.
The statement is made by writer
in the Apotheker Zeitung that a re-
marllable kind of paper is produced in
Corea entirely by manual labor and
without the use of machinery. Its quail
ity eXcels that of the very best made
in China or Japan. The raw material
used for this paper is obtained from
the bark of Broussonetia papyrifera,
which is collected in the spring and
beaten in water containing large adj
mixture of wood ashes, until reduced to
thick pulp; this is taken in large ladies
and spread upon frames of bamboo,
and in this way formed into thin sheets
Another kind of paper is produced
from old scraps trodden into pulp,
much in the same way that grape juice
is expressed in some Countries pro-
cess of pulping which, though slow, has
the advantage of not breaking the fiber
so much as when machinery is used;
then, after the pulp has been made into
paper, the sheets are piled up TO the
height of six feet and cut into pieces,
to be again subjected to the feet stamp
mg-at the same time the roots and
seeds of the plant called "tackpoui" are
added, the soluble parts of which are
supposed to give tenacity and tough
ness to the paper.

Explosion on Underground Railway.

London April PA tremendous ex-
plosion occurred on the underground
railway as a train filed with men from
the city was making its usual stop at
the Aldersgate station. The glass roof
of the station was blown out and the
platform was strewn with debris.
Many of the gaslights in the waiting
rooms and on the platform were ex-
tinguished. A general panic ensued.
1t was found that a first class coach
had been completely wrecked and many
persons hurt. Ten of the injured were
found to be in a precarious condition
and were removed to hospitals. The
explosion is believed to have been the
result of a collection of gas which be-
came ignited in some way. Many per-
sons, however, believe that the disas-
ter was not due to accident, but was
caused by the explosion of a bomb
which had been placed in the station
with the intention of wrecking it.

Gently celebrated its fiftieth anniver-

tains portion of the bones of
Irelsnd's patron saint. The ques-
ton having been raised as to
the genuineness of this relic, docu-
mentary evidence has been produced
showing that it had for centuries been
in the possession of the monastery of
the Holy Cross in SaXo Urvo, Italy.
This institution has a fully attested
record proving beyond question that
the relic is a portion of the mortal re-
mains of lreland's saint. Great in

lie community as to whether the relic
will manifest am. miraculous char

Dennison. 70 years old, one of New Jer-
seys educators, who has a record re-
markable for fidelity and hard work.
attempted suicide at his home in Hale
don, suburb of Paterson, as the result
of self inflicted wounds. The story of
the case was most pathetic one. He
had grown helpless and sought by sui
eide to relieve his wife of the burden of
his support.
For IS years Professor Dennison was
principal of the Haledon school, hold
ing the position until four years ago,
when it was decided to place a younger
man in charge of the institution. Pro-
fessor Dennison never recovered from
the blow of his dismissal.
He has been i'll lately and sent his
wife out of the house ostensibly to get
medicine for him. She left him in his
favorite corner at the window. When
she returned. she found him lying on
the floor half conscious, his head rest
ing on hassock that was covered with
blood. Examination disclosed the fact
that the aged pedagogue had severed
an artery in his wrist with a razor, and
then. fearing that death might be de-
MED him. had cut his throat. Physi-
clans who attended him say he cannot
recover.
Professor Dennison was for years a
member of the Passaic county board of
examiners.

Race Trouble In the Far West.

Ardmore l. T., April Pas a result
of the warning given to all the negroes
in the town of Davis by a mob OF
masked white men. not a colored man
remains in the place. The federal
grand jury, which was called together
by Judge Kilgore to investigate the
outrages, examined a small army of
witnesses, but reported that it had been
impossible to identify any of the raid
ers. When it became known that no
indictments had been returned the
colored people hastily quit the town.
The murder of white man by a negro
was the preliminary cause ofthe trouble
at Davis.
