s>aris, June l0.--ali Paris is talking of
= ahe duel with swords fought yesterday
afternoon between two members Of the
old nobility, Count Robert de Montes-
uuion and Henri de Regnier, at Neuilly
le Vallois, growing out of a remark
made by Mile. Heredia, the sister-in-
II law of Regnier, few days ago in the
yeion of the Baroness Aiphonse de
Z thschild. 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, lust the sort of cane that might
have been used at the charity bazaar
/ IRE to beat the ladies.
1 The count overheard the remark, and
srpreted 1t as an insinuation of cow
. lily conduct on his part toward wo-
tsan at the fire. Immediately with
4 5ldrawing from the salon he sent chal-
u lenge to M. De Regnier, who was es-
before midnight seconds were appoint
ed and the preliminaries of the duel
arranged. On consideration, however,

newspapers as coward. This result

E s.dontesquion Immediately accepted this

Houssaye and Jean Beraud.

of Georges Hugo and the artists MN.

II wounded in the back of the right hand
\ y. The surgeons then interfered and re-
Il fused to allow the combat to proceed.
FW The combatants on withdrawing de-
&elined even to bow to each other. The
hffair has made tremendous sensa-
S}y tion, as it may prove the first incident
" in a general boycott socially of num-
bsr of men who are persistently accused
: In certain quarters of having displayed
I the ranleest cowardice at the charity
bazaar fire.
~ M. De Regnier did not take his first
Hsesson in fencing until after he had re-
ceived the challenge of the Count de
Montesquion. He Is poet and lead :

spent the whole morning In sorting his
manuscripts, which, after he had care
rally locked them in boxes. he sent TO
his secretary for safe custody. Last
evening he called at the counts resi-
sasnce. but IL is not believed that a
kpconciiation has been effected.

To share ner heart with Inc.

Tall and handsome, young and falr,
And l would not do my duty
II I'd lot her languish there.

And each Jack can have his Jill.

Improvement in values which has been

abandoned In face Of the strong rally OF

market with an all embracing surge to a
higher plane, wtping out the losses which
the painstaking efforts of the bears had
accomplished earlier In the day. and drlv-
ing them to cover losses by hasty pur-
cases on the fast rising scale of prices.
The dealings In the last hour were char
Erterzed by great animation. and the
volume of sales. which had been small
for two hours previously, was brought
up TO total considerably IN excess Of
that of yesterday, which was the largest
since the present period of activity In
