RIGGS ID SEIZED,
But Got Out OF the Sherin's Hands on Bono
-POllak Wants Oh ESQ,

"So
A violin, described by its owner, RICO
Jancis, who made himself celebrated by
clipping with the Princess Chimay, as worth
at least $40 900, was SEIZED yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff Murray at the Hotel Carlton,
where Rigo is.
Murray had an attachment issued by
City Court Justice Mccarthy on the com
plant Of Michael Pollak, who has sued
Rigo for $l.65o on an alleged breach OF
contract.
Pollak alleges that in February Riso
made a contract with him for the services Of
mint musicians, to form a string orchestra,
which Rgo was TO lead.
$500 a week for the musicians, but after
he had led them a couple Of weeks he sent
them back to Pollak, on the ground that
they were not up to his musical standard.
Then Rigo sent to Hungary for q bunch Of
hddlers and went on tour with them as
his Hungarian orchestra.
Hgo got back here a few laws ago and
was served with the complaint in Pollak's
suit for 81 ESQ. This represents the total Of
what Pollak says he actually expended
and what profit he would nave made had
Rlgo stuck by his contract.
hgo belng a non president, an attach
ment was procured, and Deputy Sheriff
Murray was instructed to seize the alleged
$40, 900 violin.
RIGGS manager, Charles Bornnaupt, put
up 81 $50 in cash and released the fiddle.
RIGGS defence will be that the real breach
OF contract was on Pollak's part In failing
TO furnish him with oompetent men,

their attention altogether from intel.
lectual or aesthetic pursuits. Foot ball

Duel by Proxy in France.

1t is not often that one of the prin.
ciEals in French duel backs out
but an incident of this kind happened
yesterday, says dispatch from Paris
An encounter had been arranged be
tween M. Gomez Garlic and NJ Aus.
tin de Croze. but the latter failed to
appear at the appointed time, and
half an hour later telegram was re.
ceived from him to the effect that he
did not intend to fight. The disap
pointed principal was determined to
have satisfaction from somebody, and
he suggested to NJ. George Dubois. the
well-known fencing master, who was
one of the absent mans seconds, that
he would step into the breach. NJ.
Dubois was agreeable, but owing to
his superior skill with the sword he
proposed that the duel be fought with
pistols. No pistols being obtainable
for the moment, the pair faced each
ether with swords. In the second
round NJ. Dubois ''pinked" his adver.
sary in the arm, and the outraged
nonor of the latter was declared to be
satisfied.-London Chronicle.

WONDERS OF COAL TAR.
Vanilla Extract One Of the Many Arti-
cles Made From It.

DO you know that majority OF the
vanilla t1avoring used in the world is
not made from the vanilla bean, but is
the product of tar? Do you also know
that there are now between 500 and
1000 articles Of commerce sold in the
markets that are the product of that
same tar?
The questions were asked by Gardi-
ner c. Crawford. an American, who
has long been engaged in business in
Tahiti, who is stopping at the Savoy
hotel while en- route east Mr.. Craw-
ford was in the business of growing
and extracting vanilla in the island,
which was the principal product of the
natives, but modern science put him,
as well as the native growers, out of it,
The German chemists discovered that
line" could be produced from tar at
one-tenth the cost of the natural va
nilla flavor. 1t is as good as the nat
ural product and there was no compel
ing with that.
Mr.. Crawford says that tar Is prov
Ing productive field for the chemical

that the experiments have been so eX

practitioner, working among all sorts
and conditions of men. many of whom
are influenced quite as much by his
general ability, which they can appre-

have no measure"
DR.. Osler advises physicians to
walk with the young: Il would urge
the clinical physician, as he travels
farther from the east, to look well to
his companions-to see that they are
not of his own age and genera ton.
He must walk with the boys, he

Tobacco Injuries Soldiers.

Britain wants better marksmen in
its armies, but many people claim that
the increasing use of cigarettes among
the soldiers is defeating this ambi.
ton. The duke of Wellington would
not allow smoking in any form. His
famous order ran as follows: THE
commander in chief has been inform.
ed that the practice of smoking pipes
and cigars and cheroots has become
prevalent among the army, which is
not only in Itself a species of intoxica,
ton occasioned By the fumes of tobac

the habit" The order went on to beg
officers to prevent smoking among the
officers of junior ranks in their regi

ARMENIAN DIED HERo's DEATH.
Made Splendid Defense Of His Resi-
dence at Baku

"duC oPicHGio OeIcnSc OF tbs HeSI-
dence at Baku.
AdamOff was an Armenian hero of
Baku. The author of recent volume
on that city has this to say of him
"Adamoff was the crack rifle shot in
Baku, one of the wealthiest Armeni-
ans engaged in the oil business. and
his residence in Arnianskia street was
one of the palaces of the city, so far
as the magnificence of the oriental
decoration was concerned. He stood
a three days siege and shot no fewer
than forty Tartars, who. on the last
day, formed a heap of dead at the cor
ner of the street. Adamoff was kept
supplied with cartridges by his young
son, who got shot in that service
And then Adarloff himself was hit on
the balcony OF his house, whence he
had SO long defended it. Receiving a
shot in the shoulder. the deadly
marksman dropped his rifle on to the
railing of a balcony. but nerved with
the courage of despair and determined
to sell his life still more dearly. he
continued shooting. His movements
became slow, the Tartars become
more aggressive, and he finally re-
ceived a fatal wound which laid him
low on the balcony
