WHEN DUELS WERE FOUGHT.
Death of Man Who Was Maker OF
Coats-of-Mail,

Death of Man Who Was a Maker OF
Coats-of-Mail.
About two years ago." said a bust
ness man to a New Orleans Times
Democrat reporter, there died at the
Charity hospital an eccentric old Ger
man who once upon a time followed
the queerest trade in the world. He
was maker of coats of mail. Long
before the war he had little jewelry
shop on the north side of Canal street
and the coat of mail business was a
sort of private side line. The armor
he made was composed of small links
OF very hard steel, woven together so
compactly that one could not thrust
even a pin through the interstices, and
IT was said that the coats would turn
either knife or, bullet. They were
fashioned .Smething like sleeveless
undershirt, and were intended to be
worn Immediately beneath the outside
garments. In those days the use of
such devices was popularity attributed
to fellows who wanted to secure an IN
fair advantage in duelling and the rep
utation of wearing one under any cir
cumstances was fatal to reputation
Tor courage. Consequently the old
German didn't go to any pains to ex-
plolt his. business and his customers
must have come to him through many
devious chac1C-s. l knew the old
chap quite we'll when I was boy, and
l have often seen him putting the mail
together in his little back room. He
got the links from Germany, and they
came in long single strand chains,
which he fastened together at the
edges with small steel rings, thus
building up frbric, like knitting a
stocking. The coats were made over a
wooden form, shaped like mans
torso, and were astonishingly light.
After the war broke out good many
men bought them openly, as a legiti-
mate protection, and for while the
old man had more business than he
could attend to-"

stood Tuesday night with smiling face
on the platform of Steinway hall,
looking over the enthusiastic Repub-
licans assembled under the auspices of

delphia nominations. Every seat was
occupied. In the audience were more
than 100 women.

ton that trusts were not destined to
be dangerous to the country, asser-
lions that the Republican administra-

lngmen and praise for the Republican
nominees. The speaker was applaud
ed loudly when he said of Democracy's
opposition to militarism:
Il have always thanked God that I
never had any part with the party that
had an actual conflict with the army of
the United States.'
DAWES STARTS A PRESIDENTIAL
BOOM.
Comptroller Dawes preceded Con-
gresham >Dolliver with brief speech,
in which he told of the work of the
Hamilton club at the Philadelphia con-
vention and eulogized the Republican
standard bearers.
II am in favor of a ticket for 1904
having at it's head the names of Roose-
welt and Dolliver," he said, and a. voice
from the audience cried out, "Why not
DOlliVer and Roosevelt ?'
In answer to this came a storm OF
cheers, during which the representa-
tive from Iowa bowed and looked
blushingly conscious. The comptroller
emphasized the fact that the occasion
was the opening gun of the national
campaign in Illinois.
Vice President Frank O. Lowden, OF
the club, presided. Other speakers
were F. Al Dennison and Patrick H
