UNION MADE A BAD MISTAKE.
Gave Too Much Credence to Story Told
by Alice Heath on Whipping.

"The detention Of Alice Heath, the
13-year- -old girl, on a charge of bicycle
stealing is a complete vindication of
Principal Bauer from the charges
made by the Union a few months ago
that he had given the young girl an
unmerciful whipping a prominent pat
ron of the Berney school said this
morning. Myself as well as nearly
all other patrons of the district thought
at the time. and still think, the Union
gave too much credence to the girls
story of the whipping instead of to
Professor Bauer's side of the case.
The notoriety given the case and the
sympathy extended the girl has simply
encouraged her in her incorrigibility.
The parents have spared the rod and
spoiled the child and more frequent
applications of strap Oil at home as
we'll as at school might have saved the
girl from the disgrace she has brought
upon herself"

TO FIGHT A DUEL.
Frederick Mayer Leaves 1ernhardt A.
ter Challenging Leading Man.


NEW YORK, April 12-Frederick
Mayer. antil recently personal repre-
sentative of Mime. Sarah Bernhardt,
now touring this country. has. accord
ing to reliable information received
here. challenged M. De Max. leading
man of the company. to fight duel on
French soil within ten days after the
company returns home. Mayer has al
ready gone to Paris. Max is in Texas
with Mms Bernhardt He will not
reach France before June 1.
The challenge is the result of a re-
cent quarrel between the men in the
dressing room Of M. De Maxatthe
Greenwald theater New Orleans. Just
how it started even the principals can
not tell. but witnesses say it was ex-
ceedingly lively while it lasted.
Nine. Bernhardt and Mile. Barbiere.
one of her leading women, were indi-
rectly the cause of the row, although
the latter at least took no active part
in the incidents leading up to 1t.
From a person who has been on tour
with the company, it was learned that
the trouble arose because Nine. Bern
hardt complained that Mr.. Mayer neg
lected trivial affairs of hers to look
after the comfort of Mile. Barbiere.
Mayer denied that he had shown more
than ordinary interest in the comfort
of the actress. M. De Max champiOned
the tragedienne and took Mr.. Mayer
to task. and the argument became SO
heated that Nine Bernhardt interfered
to prevent a serious physical combat.
While he was not born in France,
Mr. Mayer has resided there nearly all
his life He is an expert swordsnan
and his skill is well known. M. De
Max is also an expert fencer.
