Death Of Alfonso De Aldama

we'll known Partisan figure will be seen
on the boulevards no more. Alfonso de
Aldama, the noted duelist and man OF
fashion, has just died in his fiftieth year.
Although born in Cuba, OF the piuest
blood, he had spent most of his life in
Paris, and was one of the swells of the
second empire. In appearance he was not
unlike Philip w. as painted by Velas-
quez He was genuine hidalgo, and had
the right to use the title OF Marquis de
Donelo. In early manhood he had been an
officer in the Spanish army, but threw up
his commission when Queen Isabella ceased
to reign He is particularly to be remem-
bered for having fought duel with that
old fire-eater and Socialist, Henri Roche
fort, who had written disparagingly con-
cerning the ex-queen of Spain. With the
sentiments of the race of Don QuiXote,
Aldama constituted himself the knight er-
rant of the deposed queen. Two shots
were exchanged without erect. ALBANIA
then took up fencing with great ardor, and
became the most famous swordsman of his
time in Paris. He had all the sensibilities
of honor attributed to a seventeenth CEN
tury character of Dumas pere, and ap-
pealed to the field of honor on the most
trivial provocation. Subsequently he
fought M. CASTOR Jollinet, M. Soheage,
Gen. Loizillon and some others. In one
of these encounters the Cuban was pierced
through a lung His meeting with Gen.
Loizillon was brought about by an alter
cation between the two at NJ Molier's pri-
vate circus. Aldama, struck the general,
who was in mufti. He was afterward pro-
fuse in apologies when he found he had
raised his hand against an officer of high
rank. The duel was fought with pistols
in the military school. Neither was
harmed. He was once dining at Bignons,
when he noticed a gentleman staring at
him. moment later this gentleman
brushed rudely by Aldama's chair, and
the swordsman sprang suddenly to his
feet and made use of language more forci-
BILE than polite. His opponent was the
Marquis de Taranta, who replied: In the
presence of such language, withdraw the
excuses I otherwise should have made.
Aldama slapped the Marquis face, and a
duel resulted 1t is reported that when AL
dama's physician recently Informed MIN
that he must die, he replied that he was
glad to go, so as to escape the exhibition

JOHANNESBURG FRIDAY CLUB
The Mining Camp Does Not Neglect
Society and Intellect

JOHANNESBURG, April 23. TO re-
lieve the monotony of desert life, early
in the fall several ladies of Johannes
burg met and formed club, to be known
as the Friday club. Its purpose was two
fold: intellectual and social. For the first
few weeks the current topics of the day
were discussed at these meetings; later
the life and works of some prominent
author were taken up. The need of a
systematic course of study was felt, and
it was decided to take UP this years
Chautauqua course, the clNb meeting
Friday afternoon of each week. On last
Tuesday evening, in the parlors of the
Hotel johannesburg, the club gave it's
first reception, the guests of the evening
being the husbands of the club members.
Flowers had been sent from Los An
geles and Ontario, and the parlors were
tastefully decorated by Mrs. Frank Grif
fifth and Mrs. Frances Qua. A short
program was rendered, each number be-
ing we'll received. To show the gentle
men present that while the club members
were cultivating the intellectual side of
their character they were not neglecting
the practice of the domestic arts, dainty
refreshments were served. Toasts, "To
the men" and ITO the ladies'" were
given. The evening was spent in social
converse, and at it's close "Auld Lang
Syne" was sung by all present.

PERRIS INDIANS
They and the Darktown Minstrels
Please Riverside Greatly

RIVERSIDE, April 23.-The city was
visited yesterday by $50 of the scholars
Of the Perris Indian school, who came
over on a special train under charge of
their superintendent, Harwood Hall. The
children paraded the principal streets,
after which they were trated to a supply
of oranges and given the freedom Of the
city. Under the present management of
the school the young Indians have maGe
fine progress, and on their visit here yes
terday they appeared we'll dressed and
we'll behaved.
The Darktown Minstrels is the name
under which number of society ladies
presented a very clever minstrel per-
formance at the opera house last night.
The entertainment was given for the
benefit of the Rathbone Sisters lodge,
and the seating capacity Of the opera
house was taxed to it's utmost to ac-
commodate the crowd. The novelty Of
forty regulation corked women minstrels
served to make the event popular one,
and the ladies certainly demonstrated
that they were equal to springing on the
public any number Of jokes and gags,
just the same as the minstrel man.
