THE AMERICAN DUEL.
Name Given to a Horrible Custom in
Germany.

Nothing could be more inconsistent
with Germany's claim to a foremost
place in modern civilization than the
fact that her social life has been dis
figured by the most revolving instances
of the brutal custom of duelling which
have Mortified humanity in recent
times,'' says "The King" "Only a
short time since a particularly shock
ing instance occurred. when a young
officer on the eve of his marriage, was
dragged from his wedding festivities
to fight a comrade, to whom, under the
influence of drink. he had quite un-
Willingly offered some trivial flout. His
comrade was perfectly ready to accept
his offered apology, but certain bloody
minded superiors. with the counte-
nance of the colonel of the regiment,
formed themselves into court of
honor and decided that the young men
must fight. They did so, and the un-
happy bridegroom fell mortally wound
ed. And this cruel and atrOciOus crime
is chargcable against the social in
stitutions of country which, during
the South African war, claimed the
right to exercise a censorship over
others in the interests of humanity.
The punishment inflicted by the Kaiser
upon the authors OF this atrocity was
swift, but wholly inadequate where
Vothing short of the capital penalty
was demanded.
'Of all the devices which mans
lower nature has conceived for the ex-
tinction of his fellow man, the most
grewsome. deadly and difficult to re-
press is that known as the American
duel. In Germany. especially, this
has been, and still is, responsible for
many mysterious deaths for which
every ordinary cause is wanting.
Nothing more is needed than for two
men, who have decided that one OF
them must die in settlement of their
dispute to meet in the presence OF
seconds for the spin of a coin, cast
with dice, or some other form of lot
terry.
1.-The loser at this horrible assigna-
ton is there and then placed under an
obligation to destroy himself within a
stipulated period, and it becomes the
duty of his seconds to see that the
compact is fulfilled. For a strong, ac-
tive man still in love with life to be
necessity for self-effacement is to add
a surprising horror to the final doom Of
human nature.
Some little while since friend OF
the writer was seated in a big opera
house in German town. His gaze
was attracted to a neighboring box, in
which an officer was seated alone. He
was a hondsome young fellow, with
almost boyish face. But in spite OF
the general gayety of the scene an ex-
preston of such utter hopelessness and
depression Of soul was visible on his
features that the compassion and inter-
est of the observer were deeply stirred.
"By chance he discovered next day
an explanation Of what had interested
him. 1t had been the boys last night |
on earth, which he had spent at the |
opera alone. Afterward he had re-
turned to his quarters, and there. with |
pistol, had, as in honor bound, put a |
termination to the existence which was
still pleasant and dear to him. The
ordinary guictde may be weary Of life

The Christmas concert at the Metho-
dist church. last Sunday evening. drew
a congregation that nearly filled the
auditorium. The exercises were in
charge Of the superintendent Of the
Sunday school, ]. w. Church.
The children and young people ac-
quilted themselves most admirably in
motion songs. recitations and singing
and held the closest attention of the
audience.
Some parts of the exercises were
especially interesting both in the senti-
ments expressed and in their execution
by the participants. Much credit is
due Miss Estelle Mason for her faith

The duets by Fred Bates of this city
and Miss Helen Small Of Augusta, ad-
ded much to the interest of the pro.

Monday evening. with an audience tha,
filled the large vestry. The room was
elab9rately decorated with evergreen
but the chief attractions were the
Christmas trees that were beautified
and well laden with gifts and kind re-

or mentally deranged, but in such cases
as the above there is reversal OF Such
conditions which terribly intensifies the
horror of such an exit from the woriu.
"An even more horrible instance OF
the above system came under my no.
tice Il few years ago, and Germany IS
again the scene. A man whom the
turn of a card had consigned to self
slaughter within period Of twelve
months wavered in his resolution. he
had fallen i'm love, and the influence OF
this passion inspired him with a new
and stronger desire for life. He even
married. and sent an appealing letter
to his adversary, begging that he would
mercifully release him from the fatal
obligation under which he was placed.
The reply was a chilling reminder or
his honor and of his bond. Still he
could not bring himself to part with
all that had become so dear to him, but
unfaiungly and at regular intervals ar
rived the ill-Omened demand for the
life which was not his own. The per-
sistence of his bloody minded adver-
sary at last succeeded i'm preying upon
his mind, and one night the unhappy
man wrote farewell letter to his wife,
and sent a bullet through his head.
while such hideOus customs dis
figure the social life of o ur G erman
friends they will do well to adopt a less
critical attitude toward others. And
if the Kaiser devoted himself to the
eradication of this stigma from the
present generation of his countrymen
he would do far more to deserve the
gratitude of posterity than by any tri-
umphs in the political arena or the
achievement Of vast naval ambitions
