With more discretion than she had exercised in falling in love and with more feeling than she had dis played over the cl0pement tine erring wife shut herself up in her stateroom instead of becoming d spectator. and it was reported that she even exhibited considerable emotion for time.
 The duel was fought according to the code. The principals were warned. the word was given and the pistols were discharged. At the first fire neither man was hurt, but at the second Stafford was shot dead. His body was taken aboard of his yacht. and Graham him. self notified his wife that her paramour had fallen. He didn't rejoice. and she didn't faint away. AS gentleman, though he had been wronged, it was his duty to inquire into the state of her finances and ask as to her future, and he did it. She desired to return to England and her parents, and it was arranged that she should do so. It might have been a gentlemanly act for the husband to have invited her aboard of his own yacht for the return trip, but he failed to extend it, and neither did he wait for the burial ceremonies of the man who had fallen by his hand. He made his way back home and upon his arrival gave notice of his intention to secure divorce and related without eXultation or extravaganza the fate of the man who had wronged him. It was what the clubs announced as "a pretty little affair all around' and what Lord Tomtoddy remarked anent:
 "Aw, to be sure. ye know, when a gentleman Is a gentleman he cawn't be anybody else, ye see. Yes-aw-dem pretty little incident, and if it wasn't that I am always so dem seasick when I go to sea l should like to have been there, ye know"

City PIatform-No Vote Taken.
 Columbus. O., July 1O.-The Mclean kilbourne element at the district meet ingS yesterday afternoon secured con trol of all the committees and will ac- cordingly have everything their way at the Democratic state convention. They were so strongly i'll tLe majority that there was no friction.
 In the Twentieth and Twenty-firSt districts, which include Cleveland, Tom l.. Johnson's followers had the upper hand as much as the Mel gan men had in the First and Second districts, which include Cincinnati. But in the rural districts the latter element dominated. The old state committee met previous to the district meetings and gave the tickets to the McLean-kilbourne men where there were contesUing delega- tions. and they took all the districts except those which include Cleveland, in which under the unit rule they could not control vote.
 The Johnson men after the result of the district meetings promptly an- nounced that they would carry the fight into the committee on resolutions for an all night struggle and then into the convention flor finish.'
 Temporary Organization Continued. |.
 In order to expedite business at the convention the committee on perma- nent organization last night voted to make the entire temporary organiza- ton permanent. This continues Charles II. Salen of Cleveland as chairman and Negley D. Cochran of Toledo as secre- tary.
 The committee ou resolutions first heard expressions of opinion from each of it's 21 members. The committee stood IT to I against special mention of free silver in the old form in addi- ton to indorsiag tke Kansas City plat form, 15 to s against indorsement of the Kansas City platform without any further declaration on silver and H to [ against r,atfiIIning the Kansas City platform with the Johnson plank on state taxation. There were some who favored no reference to the Kansas City platform. No vote was taken. the tally on preferences being secured from the speeches as each one was call ed on for his views.
 The following subcommittee was ap- pointed: NJ. A. Daugherty, chairman; Barton Smith, .IudSon Harmon, E. NJ. Kennedy. F. NJ. Heisley. W. H. Spence and w. l.. Finley. Of these Heisley represents Johnson. and Daugherty, who will present Kilbourne's name to the convention. favors compromise, especially on the taxation plank. The others are claimed by the conserva- tives. although some of them differ among themselves as to the verbiage of the taxation plank.

 o00 10 Public Institutions.
 New York. July 10.-Andrew Carne- gIe still has S3Ju uuu.u1 to give away in public beuefactions. Mir. Carnegie himself is authority for this statement. which he made recently at Skiho cas. tie to member of the New York Chamber of Commerce committee. who Is now in this city. but wishes his name kept secret from motives of per sonal delicacy.
 Several members of the New York Chamber of Commerce delegation which went to England recently visited MT. Carnegie at Siibo castle. and with them the millionaire discussed his gifts to the public. He remarked that in the future he intended 10 make other donations. more extensive even than heretofore. to public institutions.
 According to Mir. Carnegie he Is still undecided in what manner to dispose of his wealth for the public good. He wishes the public to obtain the best re- SNtANN run hiS iuANif CONTRIBUTIONS anu for tLat reason has not yet formulated any philanthr"pic schemes.
 Libraries VIII Get Some of It.
 Mir. Carnegie admitted that free li- braries and other educational institu- tions would undoubtedly obtain n DOT ton of the millions in question in order that the plans he had previously adopt cd should be fully developed. The diff faculties attending his recent gifts to the Scotch universities have. however, influenced him in considering other methods of diverting his wealth to the public good. and his hearers judged that he was considering the advisa- bility of directing his wealth toward endowing and supporting art galleries. scientific museums and similar institu- tions.
 MT. Carnegic's friends say that his plans are only a natural result of his famous declaration. Tt is disgrace for man to die rich" and that lie will undoubtedly make practical example of his doctrine.
 Mir. Carnegie. whose total income an- nually is estimated at Sl5.0OO.000. has in the last 2o years given to public libraries. schools. colleges and other philanthropic objects the sum of S40.- 964. .352. Of this sum American insti- tutions obtained S29.0T0,052 and for eign institutions S1l .S94 .JO0.

They were gentle men bred and born, and this story would not have been written if one of them had not forgotten his standing. At the age of 30 Graham fell in love and married a fair looking but shallow pated girl It is fair to him to say that he had far more money than she had and that he was in no sense actu- ated 5y mercenary motives. The girl was giddy, vain and superficial, but as Graham was only a dawdler and a dandy it was such a match as might have been expected on either side. With his money and family influence and native talents Graham might have become a man of note and influence, but he chose to remain a dawdler, a dandy and a gentleman. First, last and all the time he was gentleman.
 At the age of B Gives Stafford also fell in love, but unfortunately for so- cial conyentionalities and his reputa-
