OUEEREST OF ALL DUELS.
one OF the Most Remarkable Anatrs
of Honor Ever Placed
on Record.

Letters from Buencs Ayres give de-
tails of a remarkable duel, of which the
famous Italian fencing master Cher-
aler PM, was the hero. PM recently
Guened a school of arms in the Argen-
tine republic and, having been subject
ed to some criticism by a local journal
:st, told the scribe in his own frank,
pleasant way what he thought of him.
Reoaration was demanded and pistols
were the weapons selected. The con-
ditons Of the meeting were singular.
The aGycrsaries were TO be placed back
10 back, and at the word of command
were each TO take 10 steps forward and
then To turn around and fire stimuli
taneously. On the ground the men
were placed as arranged and. at the
given signal. began to march forward,
one of the seconds counting the steps.
PM had only made five strides when
he heard a report and the whistle of a
bullet past his ear He turned and
saw his adversary with the smoking
pistol in his hand. PM. in furious
rage, dropped his weapon, rushed at his
man and gave him n sound thraShing
with his fists. The seconds took sides
for their respective principals and a
general melee went forward until some
gendarmes arrived. Pini's adversary
then took TO his heels and has not since
been seen.

TO REGISTER COLLECTIONS.
Devices to BE Tested for the Keeping
Track of the Collections of
Mail Matter.

An experiment will soon be made at
New York city with a number of devices
for registering the time at which col
lections are made at mail boxes
throughout the city. 1t occasionally
happens that a collector fails to get
mail from some of the boxes on his
route and serious delays follow in
consequence. Several plans have been
proposed to prevent this neglect. One
is through means of a card marked with
the number of the box and time of col
lection. which drops out with the mail
as il is collected. Another plan is for
the collector 10 stamp the time of col
lection on strip. which becomes rec
ord of the Office. Quite an elaborate
plan is TO have electrical connection
with the post office and the boxes. so
that an apnunclator at the office will
indicate when the mail boxes are
opened. If any of these devices prove
practical il viii be put in operation in
all the large cities.

INNOCENCE ABROAD.
Young American Visits Havana ana
Makes Very Awkward and
Amusing Biunder.

A short time ago young man ar
rived at Havana from New York with
letters of introduction to several Cuban
families. He put up al prominent
hotel and was very dissatisfied with ii,
telling most of his new-found friends
what he thought about il. After stay
ing there few days he paid visit to
Cienfuegos on business. returning a
week later to the same hotel. That
night he called on Cuban lady and
gentleman. and the lady asked him if
he liked the hotel any better than be-
fore, and he replied that he did not.
whereupon she said, Spanish fashion;
Our house and everything therein is
at your disposal" In his innocence
and ignorance of Spanish customs the
young man jumped at the proposition
and said he would come the next day,
which he did, bag and baggage. staying
there for two weeks, much TO the dis
gust and chagrin of the man and wife.
as. according to Cuban and Spanlsh
customs, the man could never leave the
house, wife and guest alone therein
with only the servants. Consequently
whenever he had to go to business his
wife had to go, too, though he so ar
ranged it that most of his business was
brought to his house to be attended TO.
Before his departure the young man
urged the hospitable couple to be sure
and stay with him instead Of going to
hotel whenever they came TO New
York. 1t is safe to say that this family
is not likely to be in a hurry to again
invite people 10 make their home with
them, Spanish fashion.

SHE CARRIED THE OBELISK.
Once Famous Weasel Thai Is Now
Used as a Sea Going
Coal Barge.

A vessel which was once a famous
steamer, but is now a commonplace
seagoing coal barge, is in port loading
for New England port. The Dessoug
was built for the khedive of Egypt in
1864 and named the Denton. At that
time she was considered one of the
fastest and most beautifully appointed
vessels afloat, and the khedive enjoyed
her immensely for awhile. But he got
tired of her and in 1879 William Ill.
Vanderbilt bought her to transport the
obelisk from Egypt to Central park,
New York. Lieut.. Commander Cor
ringe took command of her, having
been detailed for the purpose by the
United States government, says the
Baltimore American.
The obelisk, which weighs 1916 tons,
was far from the shore line, and buried,
besides, deep In sand. 1t was alto
gether too heavy for ordinary ma
chinery TO be used, and it was carried
down on immense platforms with can
non balls under them for rollers. Then
ii was placed in crib fixed on pom
toon. The pontoon and ship were lifted
in craving dry dock, head on to each
other. and when this had been accom-
plished a hole 20 feet long and ~ feet
high was cut in the starboard bow of
the boat below the water line. Through
this the great stone was rolled into the
hold Of the ship on groove having an
improvised ball-bearing attachment,
obelisk was braced along the keelson,
and stout snoring fixed about it to make
it immoyable. After everything was
made shipshape and the ribs and plates
were replaced at the bow of the steamer
she finally set sail for New York or
June ~, 1850.

ACHIEVED GREAT RESULTS.
May wright SewaIl Talks of the
Work Done by the international
Council of women.

Mrs. May Wright Sewall, the new
president of the international Council
of Women, has returned to Indianapo-
lis, Ind, from England. She describes
the sessions of the council at great
length, also her visit to the queen.
Continuing, she says
perhaps the greatest result achieved
was to have the international council
decide to work for peace and interna-
tional arbitration. During the next
five years there will be three standing
comnittees-one on peace, one on the
press and one on the laws of the coun-
tries Affecting domestic relations. These
committees will each have one member
from each country in which a national
council has been formed, so the COM
mittees already have ten members each
to begin with. Twenty countries were
officially represented i'll the interna-
tional council, for ten now have nation
al councils and in ten others councils
are being formed by national vice presi-
dents. Many other foreign countries
were represented on the programme.
Six halls were occupied all the time and
$500 congress tickets were sold. You
may be interested to know tnat the
next meeting will be held in Berlin in
1904. and that there will be annual ex-
ccutive sessions. the next one to be held
in Paris next summer. As to the social
part of the council, my own personal
social engagements numbered los in
five weeks, so you see how beautifully
we were entertained"

Thomas Mintzer, 14-year-old lad of
Conshoh ocken. is probably the most

county says the Philadelphia Record
Through his own devices he earns SIS
week, and only works on an average
of six hours day. His business is meal
carrier. About three months ago Tom
my called on the employees of the differ

meals for Is cents a week. As many
of the mills are running night and day,
his offer included suppers as well as
dinners. Most of the employees were
paving 25 cents a week for the same
service, and the boys offer was prompt
~ accepted. At first Tommy was able
to carry the dinners in a large express
wagon, which was hauled by a goat,
but as he steadily gained customers it
became necessary to get a large push
cart. which he fitted up with shelves.
His business finally increased so much
that he had to bird horse and wagon.

Tommy starts out with the dinners at

these customers work in mills near

all the dinners delivered Ey 1908 noon.
His weekly collections average $3.50,

horse and wagon il leaves SIS clear,
which is more than some Of his oldest
customers earn in the mill.
