CHINESE DUEL IN PARIS.
1t Was Fought with Tongues as the
Only Weapons, But They
Answered.

A duel in the native fashion between
two Chinese occurred in the exhibition
grounds recently, says the Paris CORE
spondent of the London Post. Pe-Ki-
Lo-Sang and Long-Si-Thuong had
come to Paris partners in little busi-
Hess in the Chinese section. Both fell
victims to the charms of a Japanese
beauty employed in a neighborinR Eel
ace, and the duel was decided on. Hav-
ing found a secluded spot, the two ad-
versaries-one big, strong and stupid,
the other small, voluble and nervous
placed themselves three PAGES apart.
Then, in accordance with Chinese Gus
tom, they began to call each other the
hardest names they could, think of.
The big, stupid combatant repeated the
same thing over and over again; but
the other, Long-Si-Thuong, invented
many remarkable expressions of con.
tempt: Son of dog, son of a SOW, low
est, backwooden baton of the lowest of
unlettered men, unearthly and filthy
rat, pigs flesh, and so forth. Finally.
after half an hours uninterrupted vo-
ciferation, Long so worked himself UP
that he had an attack of congestion.
When he was found in an unconscious
condition, the police thought Pe-Ki had
murdered him. An interpreter ex-
planned matters, however, and, Long
having been revived, the adversaries
shook hands. The little business in the
Chinese section will be carried on as be-
fore.

But month ago most men considered
him personally honest.

trust that has doubled the price of ice
for every family in New York. He did
not pay cash for his stock. It was set

IDENTIFY with this, the dock board, COM
posed of three tools of the ring, has IA
vored the ice trust, and made it prac-
tically impossible for it's few and weak
rivals to unload their ice in New York.
Do you blame people for saying that
the trust would never have let Mr.. Van
Wyck, his brother Augustus and lot
of other"politicians have stock on 'easy
terms" but for the power of the city
officials to favor one ice company as
against another in the renting of pub
lie docks?
Whether or not Mayor Van Wyck is
impeached and ousted from his Office
for this blunder, you need no longer
consider either him or his brother as a
vice presidential candidate. He could
not carry his own state. He could not
carry his own city, heavily democratic
as it is. The men who have paid ten
cents for five-cent lump of ice have
made themselves heard.
Mayor Van Wyck really ought to 20

ask how it feels to be forgotten. Thus
he might learn how to be chummy with

ADVICE TO WOMEN DOCTORS.
Chinese Minister Says They Should
Go to the Orient and Learn
Medicine.

WI Ting Fang, the new Chinese min
lister to the United States, is veritable
genius. Besides being accomplished in
Chinese literature, and statesman of
rare ability, he is a linguist and phil
osopher, says Washington exchange.
He was the principal attraction at the
recent commencement of the Woman's
Medical college in Philadelphia, and, of
course, was set down for a speech.
'Since l came to this country" he said,
II have met women doctors, lawyers
and journalists, but until I received
the invitation to make this address it
had never occurred to me the women
had advanced SO far as to have an in
stitution exclusively devoted to the
training Of women for the medical pro-
fession, : / /: ( E. / =,
II am particularly Interested in this
institution, because of the Chinese girl,
who, after studying here, returned to
her native land, where she has since
made a great success. IN China it is
|sgenerally sbelieved that there is one
sphere for women and another for men.
The world has acted upon this belief
for ages. I am glad that women have
gained such a position in the medical
I profession that they cannot be re-
moved.
"There are medical works in the Chi
nese language containing medical
knowledge gained from the experience
and practice of long ages. tits great
pity that this contribution of knowl-
! edge cannot be available to the whole
world because of the great difference
in language. The Chinese attach great
value to the practice Of medicine. If
the good. people of the European ma
tions and of America had sent only med
ical missionaries to China, missionary
troubles would happen rarely. If you
were to ask my advice to-day, young

But it is not sufficient to possess q
perfectly we'll H-shaped corset and dress,
the material employed must also be
selected so as to suit the particular con-
ditions required by modern aesthetics.
This material, whether silk, wool or
cotton, must be essentially soft, light
and supple, without any stiffness. AS
to its coloring, the first condition is
that it should SUIT your complexion.
1t is much better, if possible, to choose
it at home rather than in a shop. Have,
large samples sent, or better still, ma
terials in the piece for you to choose
from. Try the effect in the looking
glass by full daylight, placing the ma
terial close to your. facs, and thus you
can judge what shade Of color is most
becoming to your complexion.
There is no place where, these slim
figures, whether they be natural or
manufactured" look more charming
than in the exquisite princess evening
gowns that are being worn so much at
the present time in Paris.
One of these is a beautiful gown Of
Embroidered lawn applique on net over
pale pink silk slip. There are medal
lions of filmy black that are introduced
in effective contrast with the deep
ecru tone background. The skirt is
shaped in the latest and most graceful
fashion, with round bodice and elbow
sleeves of the lawn applique on net, and
deep hounce of lace on the sleeves.
Another is a charming gown of pale
blue satin. The long train is edged
with. passementerie. In front on the
skirt are three .flounces of point de
Alencon lace. The satin cut in deep
scallops, with passementerie extend
ing to the waist line. The bodice is
low decollette, with straps of black
velvet over the shoulders, and cut in
| V to the waist line, where it is filed
in with point d'Alencon, and caught
with two straps of black velvet.
A third is pretty affair of pure
| white mousseline, made over slip of
| white silk, with rows of white pearl
| beads from the low cut decollette, and
caught at the waist line with green
panne velvet ribbon, the beads hanging
| loosely around the skirt, with ivy leaves
of velvet to form deep point. It has
elbow sleeves, with the ivy leaves to
finish above deep founce of lace.

In addition to it's other new, indus

a growth Of her fruit industry which
must soon attract the attention of
fruitgrowers elsewhere. Many of the
old farms of that state, particularly in
the northern part, which had about
driven their: owners into bankruptcy,
have been made under this new devel-
opment exceedingly profitable. The old

the shade of the dress. OF course, this
fad of the moment is pretty only in
light shades, such as gray or beige,
soft yellow, flax blue, Nile green or
flesh pink. Those of thick texture, with
patterns in relief, such as Irish guipure
or Venetian point, are preferred. They
are arranged into boleros of all shapes,
yokes, collars, round or square, and
sometimes continued into long lap
pets, peaked or scalloped.
Sleeves are also often entirely of lace,
matched in color to the dress, over a
silk lining. Strips of lace insertion of
the same shade are also used to trim
both skirt and bodiee, In straight rows
or across, with or without tucks be-
tween; or again in scallops or van
dykes, or other more or less fanciful
devices.
This style of trimming has the double
merit of being at once very elegant
and very quiet; there is nothing gaudy
about it, the whole toilet being mono
chrome, and varying only in the more
or less dull or glossy appearance of the
materials. If the dress is a light WOOL
en-, the collar and belt are generally of
silk or chiffon, but matched in color
to it, as we'll as the lace trimming.
The woman with the tall, slim figure
is to have all things her way again
this season, just as she has had it for
the past few seasons. One sometimes
wonders if the fashion designers will
never show any sympathy for the wom-
an without figure, or rather for the
woman with too much of figure. The
woman who is short and portly, broad
of shoulder and full of bust must get
along as best she may, while her more
fortunate sister has all things prepared
for her. But to assist these unfortun-
ates much has been done to modify the
undesirable figure.
The corset is the great agent which
gives the correct line; the style of the

is rarely heard nowadays. But if some
one were to jog his memory, he might
we'll be excused for shuddering as at
an evil portent.
Chaplin was the coming man in New
York politics, few years ago. He was
able, ambitious, courteous, a fine pre-
siding officer. He was landed in Office
as democrat in hot republican dis
trict by wave of indignation at an un-
fit nomination. In Albany he soon be-
came speaker of the assembly. There
was in that body no one to compare
with him in ability.
He was made mayor of Brooklyn;
men spoke of him for high honors--
for governor without shadow of
doubt; for vice president, perhaps.
And who knows what might happen
Then Mr.. Chaplin made little mis-
take. He aided, in scheme to defraud
the city, few men whose political in
auence doomed large before his ambi-
tious sight. You have never heard of
the East New York water scandal. 1t
was small affair, but it laid out cold
one of the brightest men in the United
States, one who was definitely headed
for the presidency, or as near it as he
could get.
Now, Mr.. Chaplin, who has comfort
able competence, sits in the Union club
playing bridge whist. He never ap-
pears at public meetings; is never al
luded to as prominent democrat;
never appears in court to plead case.
Perhaps he is too sensitive about pub
licity.
People do not remember him as q
mayor who misbehaved; they. don't re.
member him at all.
