Arlund Makes Peace With Wife and
Wants Wetmore's Blood.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 14.-"There is
no joke about that challenge to fight
Wetmore a duel. mean every word
of it, and now await his reply so
spoke Peter Arlund today when seen
at his Office in the Equitable building,
and later at the police station, where
he called to see Captain Sullivan, chief
of detectives. Arlund reached home
this morning in time for breakfast.
Not long afterwards he was at his
Office reading the papers and see all
reporters who called. The Dane was
glad to say anything about the case
that tended to justify his action in
defending the mysterious woman-not
his wife-but refused to say who she
is, how she came there, or where she
now is.
"The woman Colonel Wetmore in
suited was not only my friend, but
the friend of my wife. My wife was
glad to see me on my return. She
in ST. Louis and laughed with me
about it.
But how about the challenger"
"You can say for me that l expect
to stand by everything that has been
said and done. Colonel Wetmore of
fered me second insult when he pro-
posed TO pay my wife's expenses if
she would come to st. Louis and con-
front me. If had wanted my wife in
ST. Louis l would have sent sfor hers
| am perfectly able to pay her ex-
penses to st. Louis. or any other
place"
"If he does not accept it l will go
after him. have to go to st. Louis
on business next week. and will have
my opportunity then"
Arlund will remain in Louisville un
insists that his challenge is a serious

close of the Office hours from Colonel

Mayor Sullivan of Hartford has
 written his first message. It's brevity and pointedness surprised the old timers who think it necessary to write columns of stuff that is not read by one in a thousand. The new mayor seems to be making friends among all
 classes, and from the present outlook he will give Hartford such an ad-
 ministration that his services will be
 required for at least another term.
 Commenting on his message the Hart ford. Courant this morning said: He is urgent in favor of the voting ma chimes, and he advocates commission to revise our whole scheme of yalua- ton and taxation. He believes that
 board Of public works would be a
 great benefit and this is q sound prop osition. The mayor comes out vigor- ously for municipal ownership of gas
 and electric light companies and street railroads, and cites Toronto and Glas- gow in support of his views. The
 message is clear and suggestive. Who ever reads it will grant that. It re-
 mains to see how far it is practical.
 We have the idea that experience will
 demonstrate that it is easier to criti- else than to construct, and that as time runs on this will modify some of
 the opinions so frankly expressed.

The most remarkable feature of the long debate on Cuban reciprocity says a Washington correspondent, was the speech of Representative Cushman of Washington who paid his respects to the Reed rules and made the asser- ton that in order to secure the pas sage of any measure, no matter how just he knew it to be, a member of the house must "put his manhood ill his pocket and go trotting down the little pathway that leads to the speak CTS room, where by comparison, all the glory that clustered around the holy of holies in Solomons temple looks like thirty cents." He further characterized the rules of the house as ''unrepublican, undemocratic and un-American' Referring to General Grosvenor of Ohio, Mir Cushman said that he had in his campaign many con- stituents who held absolutely opposing views but, he continued, T finally pro- cured the speeches of Congressman Grosvenor, had them bound together, and I went through that campaign without a scratch because I could al- ways prove or disproye anything that ever came up by the speeches of the gentleman of Ohio.'

 ssThe constant blinking of the eyes is due to nervousness. and unless it is nipped in the bud it will develop into positive aff1iction,, says an eye spe- cialist. Naturally blinking is neces- sary to clear and moisten the eye. By natural blinking I mean about 10 to the minute. The nervous blinkers. on the other hand, will often get q hundred witches of the eyelid i'll q minute, which enlarges the tiny mus cles and sets up an irritation that eventually affects the sight. Many children seem to acquire the habit un- consciously, and parents do not exer- else sufficient care in trying to break them of it."

Correspondents of the democratic press, writes q man who has proof of his assertion, have been charged with sending out exaggerated reports of tho army transportation service scandals, and who through the courtesy of Rep resentative Richardson secured the proof sheets of the documents on the subject submitted to the house by See retary Root. Space will not permit ex tensive quotation, but perhaps the fol lowing will suffice: In refitting tine transport Hancock the Union Iron Works of San Francisco furnished the following items as shown by their itemized bill: One small brass bed, S44; four pillows, $16.40; three bath curtains. $62.70; 235 yards of carpet, S471.50; one chair, $46.75; three chairs, $132; skirt around commanders bed, $9.35.
