Many republicans are of the opinion
that all is not in line with the princi-
pies that we have heretofore followed
and under which we have grown and
prospered. Is it safe? they ask.
Il have heard republicans express
fear for future entanglements in for
eign imbrOglios. Even now we are usu-
ally mixed up in some sort of a mess
with a foreign power.
Our imperial policy is regarded as
a source of fear. We have not gone
about conquering weaker races for the
acquisition of territory, as yet. but will
not this come about if we continue
our present course?

and added that a prominent attorney
here had volunteered to defend Palmer
in the event he is prosecuted for as
sessing the postmasters.
Among republican politicians the ac-
ton of Palmer is regarded as 'unwise.'

a,c CELEBRATION is NOW BEING
HELD IN THE CITY OF
PARIS.
Gorgeous Military Parade Was One OF
the Features Of the Days
Program.

PARIS, Aug. 26.-One of the many
things in which Paris is interested in
lust now is the celebration of the CEN
tenary of the Legion of Honor, which
was constituted by the Emperor Ma
poleon one hundred years ago. The
celebration formally opened today with
a grand military display attended by
President Loubet and by the many dis
tinguished members of the order,
among the mthe American ambassador,
General Horace Porter. The exercises
of today will be followed by another
review of troops and appropriate fetes
on the spot near BOulonge where Ma
poleon stood when he distributed the
first insignia of the legion to his gen
erals. his statesmen. and his scientists
In connection with the celebration it
IS interesting to note that Secretary
Of State John Hay and General Por-
ter are the only two Americans who
nave received the grand cross and cor
don of the Legion of Honor. Ferdinand
Peck, who was commissioner of the
United States to the Paris exposition
of 1900, and Charlemagne Tower, the
present American ambassador to Ger
many, have the stars of grand Off
GERS, while there are several score of
other Americans, in various walks of
life who have crosses of commander,
officer. OF KNIGHT of the order.

MUST HAVE THE DROP FIRST
When Two Bad Men Meet Neither Will
Shoot Without He Has ADVANTAGE,

one of the things that strikes one
with surprise is the way that tough
men, when they happen to run coun-
ter to men of their own kind, refrain
from drawing Or shooting until one
gets the drop on the other. So quick
ald ready are the shooting men of the
real sort that when facing each other
on guard neither one can fire so quick
iy that the other will not return the
says the old frontiersman.
Thus it may happen that two bad
men" VINO have sworn death to each
other may meet often without ex-
changing shots because neither one
can catch the other unprepared.
For instance, take the case of Wild
Bill and Jim Currie. Both were Of I'M
doubted skill and nerve; they had been
enemies for years; by some accounts
they had exchanged shots once at long
range. but they never pulled triggers
on each other at close quarters, and
not until Bill was assassinated by a
wretch years afterward at Deadwood

However Clay Allison once found a
man who wasn't afraid to stand up to
MN, and, furthermore, was Just as
quick with his gun as himself. This
man was Mace Bowman, some time
ago deputy sheriff of Colfax county,

Both Draw, Neither Shoots.

of the other
Both Draw, Neither Shoots.
Once, as they were taking a drink
together, Bowman, with his whisky
glass half way to his lips, suddenly
smashed the glass to the counter and
drew his pistol, but as it came up Alli-
sons revolver met it half way. The
men were looking into each others
eyes, and a sign in either would have
meant the death of both, which was
more killing than either Of them
wanted.
This dalliance with death went on
throughout the afternoon until at
last, at the coming Of evening, the two
became savage and declared they
would bring this duel to an end.
They cleared the room of spectators
and had already taken their places in
corners diagonally opposite to begin
shooting when w. r. Merely of Cimar-
ed in between them at the risk of his
own life and by eXpOstulatiOns and en-
idea of the duel and agree to separate
without further trouble. So the two
town different ways, saving an encoun-
ter which almost certainly would have
resulted in the death of both.
One who knew Allison spoke thus of
him: LAS you perhaps know, Clay AL
lison's life is one of the most somber
rOmances one generally hears about
western campfires. Clay Allison was
indeed a desperate. At the time
knew him he lived in the Red river
country, on the western marshes of the
Liano Estacado. His trigger finger
was busiest in the later seventies. He
has a record of 81 dead men, whose
graves are scattered from Dodge City
to Santa F'e.
One of his most artistic murders
hated, swashing hectoring bravado and
a professional bad man." He, too, had
cowardly deeds and blood. He and AL
lison had no cause of quarrel they
riX l. no oil
which one was quicker on the draw
was a pleasant matter for debate and
wager on the part of their respective
friends.
Naturally it came about that the two
ruffiians swore that they would kill
each other on sight. They met one
night in a little settlement in north
ern New Mexico. They sat down at
the supper table of frontier restaur-
ant, opposite each other, and drew
their six shooters and laid them across
their knees.
Chunk ordered oysters. When the
trencher had been set before him he
dropped his hand to his lap as if to
get a napkin, and fired at Allison from
under the table. The bullet failed of
its mark. and. quick as lightning, AL
lison's gun replied.
"A little red spot just between
Chunks eyes showed where the bullet
had entered, and the man, swaying
from side to side, bent gradually over
and settled down upon the table and
soon was perfectly still, with his face
buried in the dish.
shortly after this Allison went to
Kansas City, and while there he met
and loved beautiful woman, whom ne
finally married and took to his Texas
ranch, to live in peace with all men, A
child was born to them, whose face
was as beautiful as the mothers, but
whose poor little body was horribly
disfigured.''

For many days and nights a gang of boys have been making life mis- erable for the residents in the vicinity of the corner of Cherry and Vine streets. They have gathered there at all hours, indulging in unearthly yells, which they considered singing, using profane language, and, when not other wise engaged, stOning ? edestI1ans who passed by. There have been many complaints against tue gang and yesterday Officer Mclean arrested two of them, Joe Pentino and Willie Leonard. Officer Mclean stated that complaints had been made to him and letters written to Chief Egan by sey- eral persons concerning the acts of tue boys who compose this gang. He had warned them to keep away from the place. He arrested the two boys yesterday as they were playing cards in a lot nearby with several other boys. Leonard and Pentfno, neither of whom had been arrested before, stated that they were willing to keep away from the place and go to work, They were fined $iO and costs ana given three months to pay 1t.
 In the continued case of Lizzie Leon- ard. charged with drunkenness, sen tence was suspended Probation Ofn- cer Combellack stated that she WAS doing somewhat better since she was placed in his charge ten days ago.
