A prima Donna's Story of a Duel

Lima Cavalieri. now touring Europe as Manon in Massenet's well known opera, Is publishing her memoirs. which con.
 tail, some remarkable stories all vouched for as true by the fair autobiographer.
 Among these tales is one relating 10 two
 Americans who are said to have resolved upon a duel, because neither would agree
 to abandon the fair Lima to the other.
 The conditions of the fray provided that
 the combatants were to meet without sec
 onds. in a darkened room, and that pis-
 tols loaded with explosive bullets were
 to be discharged in the light furnisned by the tips of cigarettes in the mouths
 of the dueiists. The meeting occurred m
 a hotel and the noise of the pistol snots brought to the room the proprietor of the establishment and a corps of servants, all of whom suspected most dreadful tragedy. When the door was opened n was discovered that the Americans had caref,liy deposited their burning cigar cites on pieces of furniture and had hred at these marks while lying prone upon the floor. This is merely variation oI n another venerable duel yarn but IL is interesting as illustrating the limits 10 which some women will exercise their n- ventive faculties in securing adverise- ment.

A Famous Memory.

Mr.-Amzi Smith, superintendent of the Senate document room, has memory that is famous all over the Capitol. and has been carried far throughout the coun- try by Senators. He rivals Assistant Li. brarian Sponord, of the Congressional Library, says The Washington Times. m his ability to remember everything that occurs in connection with his estabish- ment.
 The other day the Senate Comnittas on Public Buildings reported bill fa- vorably for a building of minor import ance in a New England city. reporter who happened to be interested In this particular bill asked member of the committee if any report had been Hnde al any time this session or in an earlier session. The Senator appeal to did not remember, and neither did one or tne clerks of the committees, and there was nothing surprising In this. The newsps-
 per man then went to the document room and was proceeding to have an investi-
 ration of the .records~ made. when MT. smith volunteered the information that such a report had been made during the
 first session of the Fifty-sixth Congress.
 "The number of the report said MT. Smith, "is -. And when the clerks had hunted up the report with that number for the first ses, sion of the Fifty-sixth Congress 1t proved to be exactly the report and no other. Since that time there nave been mary thousands of reports and many tnousahos of bills in each session.

RELIC OF BARBARiSM.
Wedding Ring SymbaII Of Slavery in
Past Ages.

Chicago. April 21.-The romantic
ideals of seventy-five co-eds in = class
of anthropology at the University IF
Chicago have received rude shock
at the hands of Professor Frederick
Starr. The professor. in class lec-
ture. bluntly declared that the we'd
ding ring was relic of barbarsl... an
absolutely useless survival of the cul-
ture of primitive people.
Undoubtedly" said the professor,
| "the wedding ring is beautiful ex-
| ample of barbaric tradition. living in
the modern twentieth century. anl
filling no function whatsoever Per-
haps one of YOU can tell me the o4igin
of the use of te wedding ring. He
feceiyed no answer from te seventy.
Ave young women.
The wedding ring represents the
nose ring. ankle or manicle by which
in past ages the sold slave was led
away from the mart by his new mas
ter he continued. "but every onn to-
day knows that a woman. when she is
given ring to symbolic the wedding
sacrament. is by no means slave.
| The dress coat was also included
in Professor Starr's crusade agains:
l"relics of barbarism." Turning to The
men of is class. added: ."What is
the origin of that absurd garment, III :
dress coat? Nothing less than the
hunting coats of our ancestors. who
divided the tails of the long frock
coats, cut away the front, sewed but
tons in the back to hold up the tails,
and used the coat for hunting
jacket Now, why is the servant
dressed in the conventional evening
costume also? Just because he for
merly had to wear out the old hunting
coats of his master"

Won't Cross the Line.

The trolley cars of the Lehigh Trac-
tion Company now come no farther
than the borough line on South Centre
street. The new order took effect this
morning and Will continue while the
ordinance recently passed by the bor-
ough council remains in force The
ordinance levies a tax of $500 year
upon traction companies operating cars
within the borough limits, and this sum
is alleged by the Lehigh Traction Com
panys officials to be exorbitant. The
councilmen, on the other hand, claim it
is very moderate remuneration for the
valuable franchise enjoyed by the COM
pany.
The next step likely to be taken by
council is to declare the poles, wires
and unused tracks of the company with
in the borough a public nuisance, which
will be followed by tearing them up, as
has been done elsewhere when similar
controversies arose.
