at Richmond College, has in his possession
a, challenge for a duel from Mr.. Charles
G. Taylor. Jr., secretary to the manager
of the Mutual Life Insurance Company,
with offices in the Chamber Of Commerce.
These two young men have been at
loggerheads for a year. according to the
sta tenlent Of Mr.. Glrney last night AS
far back as that they came near having
a fight. Mr.. Taylor is the president of
the Lee Literary Society. Until about
three weeks ago Mr.. Gurney was the
vice-president Of this society. He says
he resigned at that time because of the
unpleasanrness between himself and the
president.
The climax of the trouble so far was
reached last Saturday night at q regular
meeting Of the club held at the Y. NJ c.
A. building. What happened at that
meeting, which was broken up, Mr.. Cur
ney says, by the presidents leaving the
chair in tit of anger with him, was the
immediate aforerrnner of the challenge
received Tuesday evening by Gurney.

The trouble Of Saturday night grew. out
81 the discussion OF report made by a
committee with reference to securing a

smittee In manner that caused hot words
between him and President Taylor. Mr..
Gmney says he saw Mr.: Taylor yesterday
morning, and the latter said he would
not fight in Richmond. He went to see
his second then, and that gentleman
wanted To- arrange a fight in Henrico

that he will decline.

bottle which was thrown into the
Mackinaw river, ten miles west of
Bloomington, H.. on July p, 1900 has
been found. Walter Roeder of Bloom

sage asking the finder to write him
when and where the bottle was found.
The bottle must have followed the
Machinaw river to its junction with the
Illinois thence down the latter to the
Mississippi, and from thence to the gulf
and Atlantic ocean. The long journey
around Cape Horn followed, and then
came the trip up the Pacific coast. Two

SCHOOL OF HoUsEKEEPING.
Beginning of the New Term at the
 Friendly League.

Friendly League.
 March 22 marked the close of the series of first course classes in house hold science and economies at the Friendly league. Of the success of this departure in Waterbury no great CT praise can be given than to quote one of the enthusiastic students and. by the way, one of the best house. keepers in town: Il learn something every time l come.' 1t is safe to as- sume that each of the 217 students who have been in attendance since No vember IS, the date of the schools opening, has a more comprehensive knowledge of the nutritive and eco nomic value of food and their use in the human economy because of the instruction they received.
 Instruction in the first course covers chemistry of foods, physiology of di- gestion, and the theoretical part of the lessons is demonstrated by the pre- paration individually of simple dishes. The object of this cookery is the pre- paration of food in the most appetiz- ing, digestible and economical manner If a certain heroine of George Eliot's writings had had the advantages of the twentieth century training in do- nestle science, and profited by the starch lesson, George Eliot would not have written: II know very well I shouldn't like her to cook my victuals called in to see her one day and she was tiishin' up dinner and I could see the potatoes was as watery as wa ter; 1 like my potatoes mealy. I don't see as anybody will go to heaven the sooner for not digestin' their din- ner, providin' they don't die sooner" Classes having finished first course will continue into second course work, and beginners are not eligible as the school of housekeeping has been estab- lished on graded basis and the stand ard is high. New classes in first course instruction are being formed and will begin work during the pres ent week, on tomorrow, Tuesday, morning, and on Thursday afternoon: also on Wednesday evening, this last being designed for league members. Advanced classes i'll second course will continue work on Tuesday evening, Thursday morning and Saturday af ternoon.
 About the middle of April series of special lessons for cooks will be given. A feature of the work will be cold dishes for summer lrincheons. This is by request. For admission to all of these classes application should be made to the Friendly league superin- tendent at the league office, or by tel ephone.
