The Old Dominion squire has issued no
cabinet order. but he has dealt resound-
ing and vigorous blow to all the miserable,
wouu-eaten rot about the code Of honor, So
called, by imposing a fine OF $500 upon
fight a duel. IL is the first instance on
record in our neighbor State OF such ac-
ton, and the sturdy squire deserves all
the more credit for putting the challenger
upon the level OF any other disturber of
the public peace. The Virginia proceed
ing does not partake of quite so much fuss
and feathers as the Serlin affair, but it's
dollars TO doughnuts that it will prove fully
aSeffecuve, If not more so, in accomplishing
the desired purpose. Columns have been
written about the barbarsin OF the duel
and all that sort OF thing; elaborate court
trials have resulted from such affairs. hut
the exact status Of a challenger has never
been SO clearly defined as by the action OF
the Virginia Justice of the peace. 1t strips
the romance from the duel, and stigma
ties participants, or would-be particip pants,
in it as common violators OF the law, to be
dealt with as such.

But, indeed, the most obtuse OF us must
have at times been conscious that at least
there exists In this world one great and
powerful class-One that never seems able
to understand how beauty may be allied
with goodness, grace with truth, courtesy
with sincerity. Beauty among them is re-
garded with suspicion, and the possibility
OF its covering snare is never forgotten.
With such as these virtue and rectitude
somehow stand for something hard and
cold, and the practical loses its value when
allied with the graceful, and the useful be-
comes questionable when associated with
the beautiful.
/ know a dear old lady who sighed and
looked solemn and sad when someone paid
20 cents for a milk pitcher which was blue
and so pretty that it delighted it's possessor.
Fifty cents for an ugly pitcher would never
have hurt her feelings or called out pro-
test about the extravaganza OF the age.
1t was the idea OF its beauty that mighthave
been alluring which called forth her pro.

The statement that Judge Cox will, after
retirement from the bench, devote most Of
his time to the codfication Of the laws OF
the District has given rise TO no little dis
cuSSion as To many needed reforms in the
criminal laws.
a recent conversation with several Of the
government prosecutors revealed the in
formation that the care and expense of
caring for illegilimate waits and foundlings
might be ohviated by a law making their
support obligatory upon the father. Nearly
all OF the large cities have such a law. In
Baltimore it works TO perfection, and if
Congress should act on this line the Board
of ChiIdren's Guardians would be relieved
of mach work caused by the care Of aban-
doned infants
1t is conceded by al! lawyers that the
method OF lunacy inquiries in the District
is defective. There is no law regulating
an investigation of a persons sanity. The
only act is the one establishing the Gov
eminent Hospital for the Insane, and that
act was declared by Justice James TO be
void, because its provisions did lot conSti-
tute due process Of law. The learned jurist
gave an opinion in the Bryant case, in
which he held that the matter was regu-
lated in the District by the old Maryland
law of. 1875, and to this day no other
legislation governs here. These and other
important questions will be subject matter
of much discussion at q meeting OF the
bar association to be held some time be
fore the convening of the next Congress.

ABOUT WOMEN.

Some years ago when colleges for women
were new in this country, and when the
world Of fashion was apt to look askance
at any but old conventional ways of edu-
eating its daughters, an ambitious young
friend of mine belonging TO a famiI Y with no
means, but with many social traditions
went to one ofthese institutions, determined
on the higher education for herself
She was almost the only representative of
her particular station n life, says L. II F 8,
writing n HarpeT's Bazaar and for long
time she was viewed with a suspicion she
failed to understand. When at last some
trouble befell her. a professor, who meantto
be kind, explained the Situation in these
words You know when You first came to
college your dress, your manner and your
bearing betokeped, you had been in society,
and that created pref udice against YOU"
A little moreI conversation followed, and
the teacher added: II never realized before
