a DUEL AT a DANCE.
An Italian KeyeI at Mamaroneck, N.
", Ends la IA MurderOus Battle.

New York, Dec. 25.-An Italian
dance at Mamaroneck, n. Y, which
was started Sunday night as Christ
mas celebration ended Monday morn
ing in muderous row, one man be-
ing killed outright, another so badly
stabbed that he is expected to die
and several others receiving bad
wounds. The scene of the tragedy
was the Foot and Half House."
The row was started by Antonio
Dori. Verata Naraglano was waltz
ing around the hall with a young
woman who had refused to dance
with Dori. The latter followed them
about the hall, ridiculing their dane
ing and making himself generally dis
agreeable to them. Naraglano replied
to his taunts and Dori challenged
him to duel. The dance was stopped
Immediately. Naraglano and Dori
started outside, followed by all the
jewellers.
Naraglano drew a revolver, Dori a
stilletto. The latter made plunge at
Naraglano and drove his stiletto
deep into the mans breast Narag-
lano fired twice. One shot tore open
Doris arm and the other struck An
tonic Guiseppi, one of the musicians,
in the eye, the bullet penetrating the
brain. This Immediately precipitated
a general fight. When the Italians
had fought themselves tired Guiseppi
and Naraglano were helpless on the
ground. Dominica Chippi and Gui-
seppi Cortez were bleeding from
many cuts.
Guisepp, the musician, died last
night and Naraglano is still uncon-
scious.
After the fight there was a general
fight of Italians from the town and
as but little information can be OBJ
tanned no arrests have been made.

RESTS WITH DEVERY.
Tammany's Anti-Vice Committee Says
the Chief of Police h 10 Blame for
EXIsting Evils in Gotham.

New York. Dec. 25.-The Tammanv
committee of five at meeting held
Monday issued a statement that Chief
of Police Devery could rid the city of
vice in two hours if he so chose.
They further say that they will pre-
sent facts to the grand jury in the
event of no immediate action being
taken by the police.
Chairman Nixon presided at the
meeting. Several members of the
police department appeared before
the committee and said that the
places mentioned in the list given to
Chief Devery by Chairman Nixon
were closed. The majority of the
places were gambling dens and disor-
derly houses.
After an executive session of two
hours, Chairman Nixon gave out the
following statement:
The list of suspicious places
handed to the police is by no means
complete and we shall be guided by
developments as TO when and how
they shall be made public. My object
is to close such places, and by clos
ing them demonstrate to their own
ers that those who have taken money
from them for protection, lack the
power to protect. No matter what
party is in office, about the same sort
of men will be found farming out i'm
munity.
"Every department of the city gov
ernment except the police depart
ment is doing good work. | am salts
fled by what | have found that the
chief of police could close every gam
bling house and pool room in the city
in a few hours. Our motive now is to
show that these places are not pro-
tected by the Tammany organization
and, further than that, to show that
system which has existed during
this and the preceding administra-
ton, can be stopped if the police de-
partment can be induced to act. A
singleheaded commission with power
can remedy existing abuses, not only
for a time, but permanently. A BIZ
partisan police commission and the
excise department are the sores on
the body polite and they should be
reformed jointly, and they will be

knowledge of the iniquities which
owe their existence to them

RECEIVERS ARE APPOINTED.
c. IL. Baird 81 Co.. Steel and Iron MILD
Owners, are Embarrassed.

Philadelphia, Dec. 27.-Judge Nc
Pherson, in the United States district
court, yesterday appointed John n.
NJ. Sinner and William IL. Stoake re-
ceivers in bankruptcy of c. Il. Baird
Co., operating IA number of iron
furnaces. Counsel for creditors rep.
resenting about $160,000 of claims,
stated that the business would prob
ably be reorganized. The entire liza
biitics are nearly $1.500.0O0.
The concerns controlled by Baird
are the Elmira Steel Co., Elmira, n.
g.: Cumberland nail and iron works,
Bridgeton, \. j.; Fullerton rolling
mills, Ferndale, Pa, Catasaqua rolling
mill, Catasaqua, Pa: Chickles Iron
Co.. Philadelphia; Danville rolling
mill, Danville. Pa; Roanoke rolling
mill, Roanoke, Va, and blast fur
naces at Emporium, Pa, Roanoke
and Iron Gate, Va.
The failure is attributed to the
heavy decline in the prices of iron
during the last year and occasioned
no surprise in the trade. Mr.. Baird
issued Il circular announcing a plan
of reorganization and stating that il
the properties and assets are not
brought to a forced sale, the COM
oany will, he believes, be able to pay
its debts in full with interest.

PROSPERITY INITIATES.
Increase of Money in Circulation
Through Honest
Policy.

In the report of the director of the
mint appears convincing evidence of
the utter absence of any necessity for
an artificial imitation of our national
currency. For the fiscal year we pro-
drced 100000 in gold, over S6,0O0,-
OG0, 900 in excess of the output during
the banner year of our history. The
werld produced $306,O00,000, a gain of
$19,OO0,0OO and this despite the prac-
tical closing of the Transvaal mines pe-
cause of war.
Statistics upon this subject, as affect
ing the United States. throw additional
light upon feature of the recent re-
port of the secretary of the treasury.
Within the comparatively short period
of four years there has been an increase
of 33 per cent, or $500, 100000, in the
circulating medium of this country
fully meeting the demands because of
extraordinary emergencies and of the
increased volume of money moving in
response to enlarged and more active
industries.
Nearly two-thirds of this expansion
has been in gold coin and certificates;
one-fifth in silver dollars, certificates
and subsidiary silver coin, and the re-
mainder in government and national
bank notes. This keeping pace upon c
solid footing with the most wonderful!
development of general prosperity in
the history of the country should GER
tainIy silence those who would have
made us the silver dumping grou2d of
the world. on the plea that we could not
have enough money with which to car
ry on busines, unless this suicidal policy
were resorted to.
The increase that has been made in
currency that is good the world over,
is greater by 80 per cent. than all the
mints in the country could have turned
out in silver had they worked at their
fullest capacity, "a hours a day. Our
home crop of gold is annually increas-
ing, and the gold of the old world is
flowing to our markets. A great nation
is permitted to vindicate the adage of
honesty as a policy.-Detroit Free

partment is considerably en-
barrassed by the failure of congress
TO make provision before the recess

ton in the Philippines. The depart
ment has concluded that it is abso-
lulelv necessary to maintain an army
of 10000 men in the Philippines until

governments throughout the archi-
pelago has been executed.

WILL BRYAN RUN AGAIN7
The Defeated POpocrat Thinks the
Democracy VIII Act the
Fool Again.

Mr.. Bryan has recovered his breath
and, being sure of his wind, enters the
lists for the third battle. In a pub
lished communication Mr.. Bryan an
nounces the democratic platform for
1904. His announcement of that plat
form is in itself an announcement of
his candidacy for the nomination in
1904. The self-declared candidacy is
made more emphatic because he insists
that the platform for 1904 shall be the
same which he forced upon the Kansas
City convention this year, and which he
says he had a right to force upon the
convention because in all but two states
the delegates had been instructed for
his denomination. At the beginning of
the democratic platform for 1904 Bry-
an places the distinctively Bryanistic
doctrine of free silver. He does that
because he knows that he rises or. falls
with free silver.
Bryan reads out of the party for
1904. as for 1900 and 1896, the gold dem
ocrats. In his eyes defeat for the dem
ocratic party is less to be deplored than
obscurity for Bryan. Perpetual candi-
dacy brings Bryan better income
than ever did the practice of law.
But will the democratic party be
asinine enough to accept again the
leadership of Bryan? Bryan thinks it
will be, and he can claim the law of
probability as witness that if that
party has done an idiotic thing twice
ii is likely to do it the third time.-Troy

DUE TO REPUBLICANS.
Rural F~ee Delivery of Matts Benefi-
cent Result of McKinley's
Administration.

The rural free delivery has been
such a surprising success that it has
no open opponents. This has not al
ways been the case. When the ex-
pertinent was proposed by the Har-
rison administration it was quite gen
orally condemned and congress made
meager appropriation for very
limited trial of the scheme. 1t was
denounced on the ground that it
would involve an expense far beyond
the advantage promised. When the
Cleveland administration succeeded
that of Gen. Harrison a halt was
called and the postmaster general
demonstrated that rural free deliv-
cry of mails was impracticable be-
cause of the great cost. The scheme
of the Harrison administration slum-
bered four years. The Mckinley ad-
ministration took up free delivery IN
earnest, and under the energetic di-
rection of eX-Assistant Postmaster
General Heath the experiment was
pushed with vigor and intelligence.
Rural free delivery is more than
the word success would imply, since
it is the adoption of a new policy that
is certain to change the relation OF
city and country to an extent that
may be called revolutionary. To the
middle of November 2,614 routes had
been established in "A states, serving
a population of nearly 100000 peo-
pie. BY July 1 next 1900 routes will
have been established, carrying the
mail daily to 3,500,000 people. De
Quoting the expense of the old system
as far it has been discontinued, and
making allowance for the increase of
cost of free rural delivery is about
&C cents per capita. At the present
time 81 100000 residents of cities ana
towns have free delivery. In the ham
let's and on the farms within the linn
its of a reasonably free delivery sys-
TEN are 21,0OO,OOO farmers and villag-
ers to whom daily mail service can
be extended at a cost of S13, ,7S2,224.
If congress could be induced to cut
off the fragrant abuses of the regula-
ton of second class matter, enough
would be saved to the postal revenues
to pay the entire expense of rural de-
livery and something to spare.
The scheme for rural free delivery
is a republican device. 1t was urged
by Mr.. Wanamaker when he was
postmaster general. and was started
to be quickly abandoned. 1t was
taken up by the present administra-
ton, never having had the support
of democrats in congress until it was
an assured success. Rural free de-
livery is one of the great services
which the republican party has rem
dered the country. 1t is of vast con-
sequence to the large farm areas that
it's full benefits will not be realized
for years. The agents of parties are
criticised oftener than applauded-
criticised for insignificant and seem
ing defects. Would it not be fair,
once in awhile, to recall a great serv-
fee like the free rural delivery and
place it to the credit Of the party
which has rendered it?-lndianapolis
