Society senoritas in n Duel.

City OF Mexico, April "Details
OF duel in which the principals
and seconds were women prominent
in Mexican society have come to
light. One woman was SO seriously
wounded that surgeon had to be
called aud this led to the arrest OF
the participants. Tho duel grew
out OF love affair.
Rafael Riquelme went to a fsshi.
enable ball several nights ago, ac-
companied by Senorita Maria burns,
a belle of the city, Senorita Juana
Luna, TO whom Rquolme had been
paying marked attention, also at
tended the ball, and she saw San
orita Duran in the company OF IA.
fael. Flor Mexican blood suTged in
a passion. She confronted Senorita
Duran, and after quarrel challene-
ed her rival. The challenge was
accepted aud the next morning the
two women and four seconds drove
in two carriages to a vacant lot near
the Romita outskirts of the city.
The rivals stripped off their waists
aud the signal for the encounter was
given.
The first round was bloodless. In
the second round Senorita Duran
was aggressive, while her opponent
acted on the defensive. Senorita
Duran's terrific thrusts began to tell
upon her strength and then Senorita
Luna, who had been waiting for her
adversary to tire herself,took advan-
tage OF her WEAKNESS and made
savage lunge at her breast. She iu-
flicted an ugly wound, but Senor.ta
Duran again faced her and received
scratch on the cheek. In the third
round Senorita Duran was weak
from the loss OF blood. Senorita
Luna inflicted wound on her sword
arm. She dropped her weapon aud
the duel was over. The women kiss
ed and the vanquished one in true
chivalry fashion renouuced Ro.
quelme.
The seconds placed the wounded
woman in carriage and drove
home. Her condition became so
serious that a physician was called
in. Under the Mexican law no ply
stefan is permitted to treat wound
ed person without an order from the
authorities. The case was presented
to the police inspector and an i1ves-
LEGATION brought out the facts. Sem
orita Duran was taken to Juares
Hospital and the other five persons
were arrested and placed in solitary
confinement at Belem.

ST. MARY's ACADEMY,
Notre Dame, Ind.

We call the attention of our readers
to the advertisement of st. Mary's
Academy which appears in another
column of this paper The 10th year
opens Sept. 4th, 1900. We do not need
to expatiate upon the scholastic ad-
vantages Of ST. Mary's, for the cata-
iogue of the school shows the scope Of
work Included in its curriculum. which
is Of the same nigh standard as that Of
Nassar and Bryn Mawr. and is carried
oupt faithfully in the class rooms. We
simply emphasize the spirit Of earnest
devotion which makes every teacher al
1t. Mary's legally strive TO develop
each young girl attendant there into
the trC,s ST, noblest and most intelligent
womanhood. Every advantage Of
equipment in the class rooms, laborato-
ries and study rooms, every care in the
matter of food and clothing, and eXcep-
tional excellence of climatic conditions
all of these features are found at st.
Mary's, in the perfection of develop
ment only TO be obtained by the conse-
Grafton of devoted lives to educational
Christian work, in spot favored by
the Lord.-The Fine Arts Journal.

MEXICANs BADLY ROUTED.
Fought a Desperate Battle With
YucatnD Indians.

New Orleans, July 29-News reached
here last night of a desperate battle
between the Mexican troops and the
Yucatan Indians, in which the govern
ment troops were badly routed and
lost heavily. This is the engagement
which has been awaited with the

Tight. 1t had been a guerrilla warfare
up to the present time, when the meet
ing CT the two forces took place at a
point about fifteen miles out of San
Luis, the capital of the Indian tribe.
Details of the battle have not yet
reached this port. as all news from
lucatan must come via British Hon
duras. Gen. Bravo commanded the
Mexican troops. and il is said that he
had about 5000 men. The Maya In
dams numbered 5000 warriors, and it
was discovered that they were armed
with the most modern equipments of

RECREATION AND HEALTH.
Beth Can BE Secured at the Indiana Min
eraI Springs, Indiana.

Beth Can BE Secured at the Indiana Min
eraI Springs, Indiana.
Like the young man in springtime,
Of love-" when summertime comes we
all turn our thoughts to the consider
alton of the important question of
where we shall go for rest, recreation
and health.
There are all kinds of health and
pleasure resorts throughout this broad
land of ours, some of them, unfortu-
nately, anything but what their names
imply, and apparently operated for no
other purpose than to relieve the in
valid and pleasure seeker, financial
ly. So much SO is this the case that
1t is indeed gratifying to the one seek
ing rest and recuperation from the
cares Of the business and social world,
as well as the pain racked invalid,
who is fortunate enough to discover a
place where to use popular express
sion, he gets his moneys worth"
One Of the most interesting, pictur-
esque and delightful places in this
country is unquestionably the resort
known as the Magno Mud and Lithia
Water Cure, located at Indiana Nine
raj Springs, Indiana. Here come the
overworked business man, the worn
out devotee of society and the protes-
sional man on the verge Of nervous
prostration, as well as the sufferer
FRO rhn icvo
diseases for which the baths are es-
pecially beneficial. The place is also
largely patronized by those who only
seek pleasure and recreation, its loca-
ton making it particularly adapted for
this purpose. There are many roman
tic and beautiful spots and places Of
interest in the vicinity and it would
be hard to find a section OF country
containing so many beautiful drives.
The country is very hilly. but the
roads are all graveled and kept in
good condition. This is one Of the
things that makes the place especially
attractive to those afflicted with rheu-
matism, as driving is about the only
outdoor pleasure one crippled with
rheumatism can indulge in. Some Of
the cures effected are really marvel
Gus and many who have gone to the
Magno Mud Cure as last resort have
returned home within few weeks
filled with renewed health and
strength.
The accommodations. service, table
&c al AZ hn do
sired and the rates very reasonable
indeed. The Springs is under the able
management of Major H. L. Kramer
and a postal card inquiry addressed
to him will bring complete detailed
information as well as copy or the
"Mudlavia Magazine" unique and
interesting publication.

Uncooked Product of Tree and
shrub Finds a school of Adherents
In London.
While the vegetarian regards meat
as poison, the fruitarian looks with
no enthusiastic eye upon the Lenten
fare of the vegetarian. To him, I'M
cooked fruit is the only natural food,
and, though but small body, men do
exist in this cold country who eat
nothing but fruit. For long time
they have found their chief opponents
in medical men, who affirm that, for
equity persons, fruit is dangerous, some
even asserting that fruit may actually
engender govt.
Now, however. a little ray Of sun
shine penetrates the gloom where they
sit in glorious isolation, CT. cking nuts
and chewing raisins in ali the sylvan
simplicity of monkeys. A medical man
has arisen TO declare that he has fire.
quently cured govt with grapes and
oranges. Further than this, he de-
clares that his standing advice to
equity friends is: Eat plenty of fresh,
ripe, uncooked fruit" But, while the
tendency" Of fruit is to get rid of govt
altogether, ii seems that severe equity
headaches and bilious attacks may be
caused by eating it, particularly by
people who have long age shut the
tempting apple and pear from their
regimen. Therefore, though the fruit
arians wax holder for this medical tes-
timony, the equity would be wise to
take their fruit sparingly at first, and
not by any means make it their one
and only form of sustenance. 1t is, at
any rate, interesting to find that medi-
cal men are beginning to look with
kindlier eyes on fruit, but at present 1t
would probably be difficult to encount-
er two doctors agreeing over one SUI
fering equity person that his salvation
lay ia fruit diet.-London Globe.
