The castellane-Rodays Duel.

Count Boni, Anna Gould's little
spendthrift husband, struck NJ. De
Rodays, a Partisan newspaper editor in
the face, and there is q striking differ
ance in such cases between our laws
and customs and the laws and customs
of France. If the incident had have
happened in this country, Boni could
have counted with reasonable certainty
upon the happening of one of two
things, neither one of which would
have been duel at twenty-five PAGES,
for our civilization passed the duellEng
line nearly 100 years ago.
The most likely thing to happen if
little Count should go into an Ameri-
can newspaper office and clap the edi-
tors face, would be the dramatic exit
of wiser but not quite so handsome
Count as the one who went In. If
this did not happen, if the American
editor did not avail himself of the
natural and manly right of self defense,
then the Count could feel reasonably
certain of walk, or possibly ride
with sheriff, and free board and
lodging for few days in q common
Jail for committing the crime of assault
and battery.

European Barbarities in China

The evidence is well nigh conclusive
that the European armies iii China
have been guilty of conduct that would
add dscredit to the worst band of
Sioux Indians that ever went on the
war path. The barbarities of these So
called Christian armies must react upon
all Christian influence in the Orient.
The correspondent Of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, who is with the
American army in China, tells hor-
rible story Of inhumanity and brutality
on the part of the troops of the allies,
and his account is corroborated by
every American correspondent who has
written on the subject. Here is an ex-
tract from one of the letters published
in the Globe Democrat:
"The troops of the allies shot every
man, woman and child in sight during
hostilities, pillaged every village on the
line of march and looted every house of
anything of value it contained. When
ever any city or town offered armed
resistance it was burned after being
looted, and charred tiinbers, fallen
walls and stupendous heaps of brick
and stone stretching in every direction
farther than you can see are all lllat
mark the lines of former streets, of
business houses and dwellings None
we're spared, especially in the districts
where the Russians, Germans and
French dill the footing.
millions of dollars in gold and silver
bars called 'sishes' were looted from the
banks, mints, business houses and
dwellings, y Months after com
plete peace has been restored the Rms
SLAMS, Germans and French, in the dis
trict they control in Pekin. are commit
ting barbarities on the Chinese that
would put an Apache Indian to shame.
Even now private dwellings are being
looted by private soldiers of those
armies in such manner that the Of
ficers cannot fail to know it, and there
are well authenticated cases of beating
and murder where resistance was
made"

In all the writings of the late Benja-
min Harrison, it is doubtful il he ever
expressed more wisdom in an equal
number of words than he did in the
following extract from his inaugural
address:
"Let us exalt patriotism and moder-
ate our party contention. Let those
who would die for the flag on the field
of battle give a better proof of their
patriotism and higher glory to their
country by promoting fraternity and
justice. ** IdoDot mistrust the
future. Dangers have been in frequent
ambush along our path, but we have
uncovered and vanquished them all.
Passion has swept some of our COM
munities, but only to give US new
demonstration that this great body of
our people are stable, p .triotic and law
abiding"

indianapolis, March 1S.-On the
western slope of n grassy knoll, near
the graves of Thomas A. Hendricks

of which was preserved by ropes

The weather, like that of Saturday,
was indispensable, bright sunlight

cheek and Il sparkle to the eye. The
services at the church and grave were
simple in the extreme. all in most ex-

of Saturday there was an utter alb
sence of friction in everything that
was done. All was well ordered and
well performed.

Creston, Iowa, March l6.-Judge
Towner of the Third judicial district
has just rendered decision that has
a far reaching influence and is of
great Importance to the thousands of
stockholders and borrowers of the de-
funct Interstate Building and Loan
Association of Bloomington, Ill. The
cases were tried in the January, 1900,
term, and have been under advisement
since that time. The Illinois company
made loans and sold stock to Creston
parties, John A. White, j. j. Rice and
w. III. Robb, defendants in the case at
issue, being among the number. The
company failed and went into the
hands of a receiver, who got an order
from the Illinois court authorizing him
to sell the Iowa property of the con-
Germ. An auxiliary receivership was
established at Des Moines and SINH
lar order to that issued by the Illinois
court obtained.
G. u. Spinney, as assignee, bought
the loans and instituted suit to have
the borrowers pay the full amount of
their loans and take back their per
cent. of the dividends. The defendants
held the contracts to be Iowa con-
tracts, hence usurious. They also held
that the money they had paid should
apply on their loans. The court held.
the contracts usurious and that the
borrowers should have credit for what
they paid. In all three cases the court

SCENE AT THE DEATnBED.

tietic Incident.

2A~s 11es>A A1sc
tlletic Incident.
None of General Harrison's children
were present at his death, not even
Elizabeth, the little daughter, who had
been taken from the sick room by her
nurse before the end came. Mrs. Har-
rison kneeled at the right hand side
of the bed, her husbands right hand
grasped in hers. while DIR. Jameson
held the left hand of the dying man,
counting the feeble pulse-beats. In a
few moments after the friends had
been summoned to the room the end
came, DR.. Jameson announcing the
sad fact. The great silence that fell
OH the sorrowing watchers by the bed
side was broken by the voice of DR..
Haines, raised in prayer, duplicating
consolation for the bereaved wife and
family, which mingled with the sobs
of the mourners.
One of the most pathetic incidents
Of the whole illness of the general oc-
CURED Tuesday, before he became un-
conscious. The generals little Eliza
beth was brought into the sick room
for u few moments to see her father.
and offered him small apple pie
which she herself had made. General
Harrison smiled his recognition of the
child and her gift, but the effort to
speak was too much and he could do
nothing more to express his apprecia-
ton. Yesterday all efforts to arouse
the slowly dying man to consciousness
failed and he died without a word of
recognition to any of the loved ones
who surrounded him.
General Harrisons wealth Is vari-
ously estimated, public opinion rating
1t as high as $500,0O0. Those who
are best Informed about the ex-presi-
dents affairs, however, say he was
worth about $25O,OO0 or 100000. At
the time he was elected president he
was reputed to have accumulated q
fortune of $125,0OO from his law prac-
tire. and this has been doubled at
least since that time. OF late his pra-
tice, owing to his great reputation as
n constitutional lawyer, was very lucra-
tive. His fee in the Venezuelan boun-
dairy dispute, in which he represented
the South American republic, was
100000.

Rent Notes Exempt from Taxation.
Attorney General Mullan has just
rendered decision in which he holds
that promissory notes taken FOR rent
are not subject to assessment before
they become due, unless they are sold
or transferred so as to become the prop
erty of some person other than the
owner of the land for which the rent
Is to be paid. This decision is in &C.
cord with the plain language of the
statute and is unquestionably correct.
Why should a man be required to pay

the rents and profits therefrom before
they become due?
