Citizen Of New Orleans Insists That

II was thinking" said New Orleans
citizen, according to the New Orleans
s-Democrat; Il was thinking of
what a great thing the duel is-how ro-
mantle. how poetical, how honorable!
Ha, may the day of the duel never pass!
It shall never pass, according to my hum.
BILE thinking, as long as we have truly
good men in this world. know that itis
against the law to engage in a duel, and
the law prohibiting 1t may be good in
so far is it prevents ignorant and fool
ishly impulsive men from inviting ur-
called and unnecessary disaster.
"Of course, it is in violation Of the law
of the land to fight in any manner, yet we
cannot but admit that there is often ex--
cuse and justification for fight. What
better manner of fight than the duel?
speak Of duels among truly brave men.
It puts both men on the same footing,
gives each the same advantages. One
man is insulted at a dance or other social
event and he slaps the aggressor in the
face with his: glove. Nothing exceeding
ly violent happens for further things are
settled. The next day or few days
afterward the men meet on the field of
battle. Neither of the men takes adj
vantage Of the other until the time of the
duel comes; on the contrary, the. men
shake hands. w. #&5 To
Shaking hands is probably the most
appropriate thing the men can do: for
why not shake hands with the man you
are about to kill, or who Is about to kill
you, on the field of honor? II you are
going to kill him. certainly it is. bad
enough that it has been so decreed, and it,
is better to keep silent when the poor
fellows soul. is flying to eternity: and
II he is going to kill you. then die with
out very bad feelings toward him. IL you
can do this. Now, am not man who
believes in. bringing about a duel upon
slight provocation; for duel is very
serious thing and often ends sadly.
Duels have brought abo:t the deaths of
men Of many families. and have brought
retribution to many, particularly unnec-
essary duels, brought on by men whose
foolish dreams transported them to
fields of artificial honor.
But duels among truly honorable men
are,SfI repeat. to- be justified. And. 1
want to add that I do not think laws
can prevent duels any more than laws,
can prevent other lights 1t seems as.
though every man likes duels, anyhow.

takes you when You come across a duel ia:

eyes fand1ears catching every moment,
listening to every word! Sir. you can
not deny it, you like the duel"

DREAMS OF STAGE SHATTERED
Girls Parents Take Her from Behind
Scenes at Burbank and Cool Her
Histrionic Ambitions

Last evening when Daniel Grenada
went back of the scenes at the Bur-
bank theater and took his 17-year- old
daughter by the ear he brought to a
sudden termination the young womans
dreams of ever becoming an actress.
The young girls parents bought bal
cony tickets to see The Judge and
the Jury" and all would have been
well had it not been that they saw
their cherished offspring in the huge
mob that rushes on in the last act.
With an opera glass they made certain
that it was their Bertha, who was
supposed to be working at a down.
town office as stenographer, but who
had together with a number of other
young women living in the neighbor-
hood, answered the managements ad
for extra people,"
For the past week and a half she
has been telling her parents that a
girl friepd was i'll and she was doing
her work in an office on Fourth and
Broadway.
I'VE knew of the girls fascination
for the stage, but thought that it spent
itself in the reading of theatrical mag
azines and such truck, and when we
saw her on the stage at the Burbank
last evening it almost took my breath
away" said Grenada, when asked
about the case.
II always have loved the stage and
always wanted to go, but my folks
wouldn't let me, so / just slipped away
for four days and rehearSed with the
other girls and then invented little
lie so that | could go out at nights.
If l had only stayed in the back of
the mob 1t would have been all right,
but just my luck / wanted to act and
show off some and that's why they
happened to see me-" was Bertha's ex-
planation.
Manager Morosco, at the request of
her parents told the ambitious girl
to abide by what her folks said for a
couple of years at least and then she
would doubtless overcome a girlish
fascination for the life of an actress.
Mrs. Grenada said she would ATTEND
to Bertha and her ambitions"

the cypress cross of the Passion Play
of Oberammergau to the ashen cross
of the Trappist monks of Gethsemane,
KY, is the radical step that has just
been taken by Otero Nelsonitti, an
Italian actor. Yesterday he left for
Gethsemane to take the VOWS of silence
and obedience that are required of all
who enter the most austere monastery
in all the world.
Nelsonitti went to Oberammergau
about seven years ago to take prepara-

he intended to play. At the last Pas
sion Play" given in 1900, he won the
plaudits of the entire world.
The religious fervor which led the
Italian to take up the study of the
character of the Savior from drama
tic standpoint led him to decide to join
the Trappist society at Gethsemane.

BILE source of revenue to several young
men in this county has been cut off by
the recent decision of the superior
court that the act placing bounty
on certain wild animals, including
foxes, is unconstitutional.
In spite of the fact that the sight of
a fox in Beaver county is almost as
rare as the roar of an African lion,
the county has continued to pay large
sums for having them killed.
The law required that the ears and
a portion of the scalp of the fox be
produced. Certain young men woulG

to an expert shoemaker, who, with
knife and glue would make up the en-
tire pelt into scalps and ears.
These would be taken to near
