MIDNIGHT DUEL FOUGHT.
r. A. Duke Kills William Johnson in
Columbus.


Columbus, Ga, May 3.-For what
was characterized by the coroner's
jury as murder, J. A Duke, a middle
aged man of Phenix City, Ala, who is
a grandfather, occupies a cell in Mus
cogee county jail, while William John

was doing there, to which the Alabam-

him in a corner and made a vicious

THE BACK WAY.
Ba1zac's Avenue of Escape From dis

RalZac's Avenue of Escape From dis
Creditors.
In the year 1S4S or thereabout, be-
ing worried by duns in Paris, Balzac
took lodgings in Passy, then a village
in the environs, at house in the Rue
Basse. There is little remarkable
about the front of the house 1t is just
a plain, white, two storied French
dwelling of a hundred years ago or Of
today for that matter.
But at the back is a garden and at
the bottom Of the garden is a doorway
leading into one of the oldest lanes in
the world, from the look of it. Truly
this ruelle, with it's crumbling walls of
stone and plaster, its ivy and its shade
of overhanging trees, is as happily de-
void Of suggestions of modern 'im-
provements" as anything to be found
within the girdle of the Notifications.
By means of this byway Balzac,
when insistent voices from within the
house reached his ears as he worked
in his little pavilion at the end of the
garden, could avoid the unpleasantness
Of an interview with any holder of the
overdue bills which throughout his life
were the only tangible results of his
experiments as a printer and type
founder.
1t needs but little Imagination to see
him hurry off down the lane, hatless
and in slippers, to await events, while
he dreams of exploiting the jewels of
the GolcOnda or the silver mines of the
new world.-W. II. Helm in Critic

LAND OF THE PARIS CABMAN
Place to Which He Returns With His
Savings to End His Days.

Savings to End His Days.
1t is popularity of Paris, which ev-
cry visitor who knows enough French
to tell one dialect from another must
have noticed, that nearly all Paris cab
men come from the same part of the
country. The same thing is true Of
coal merchants and of dealers in roast
ed chestnuts, who come from Au-
vergne; of the goatherds, who hawk
their milk about the streets, who are
Breton peasants, and of many other
trades.
The cab drivers land is probably lit
tie known to Englishmen. 1t is down
in the Aveyron, and Rodez is it's capt
tai, tiny village, where the worst lam
guage and the best hearts in all France
are to be found. The eldest of each
family in Rodez takes the land and the
paternal cottage. The old folks live
with him until their death, and the
younger sons go to Paris and drive
cabs
For years they drive about in all
weathers, scraping together sou by sou
until they have garnered enough to go
home and pay for their board and lodg-
ing for the remainder of their days.
They go with the elder brother to a
notary on the first day of their return
home and sign a deed by which he is
bound to keep them for the remainder
of their days in idleness in return for
their savings-London Standard.

Storm at Newnort News.

Newport News, May "a violent
windstorm, preceded by a violent cleo
trical display and accompanied by
heavy fall of rain and hail, did consid-
erable~damage here Wednesday after
noon. Roofs were torn off half doz-
en- houses, scores of trees were torn
up by the roots, innumerable window
glasses were smashed, and telegraph
and telephone systems were deranged
and many buildings under construc-
ton were more or less damaged.
Nearly all of the ships in the har-
Dor dragged their anchors. Reports
from the country say the orchards
Jared badly, and the truckers will lose
heavily. Several men were slightly
injured at the ship yard by being
blown off scaffolding upon which they
were at work.

NO EXTRA MONEY
FOR The JURORS
Government Refuses Additional
Pay.
TO GREENE AND eAYNoR JURY


son of Length of Trial, but Govern
ment Will Not ReImburse-Moody
Says Precedent Would Be Bad.
Washington, May 3.--Attorney Gen
era1 Moody has refused to recommend
action by the government to reimburse
the members of the jury in the Greene
and GaynOr case for extraordinary
expenses claimed to have been incur
red by them in serving the government
during the long period Of the trial at
Savannah, Ga.
Some days ago Mr.. w. T. Thomas, of
Quitman, foreman Of the jury, wrote
Representative Brantley calling atten-
ton TO the great amount of time con
sumed in the trial, and claiming that
this had operated as a great hardship
upon all of the members of the jury.
Those Of the jury who are merchants
as we'll as those who are farmers, suf-
fered severely, Mr.. Thomas claimed,
by being kept away from their legiti-
mate business during the long period
of the trial, and he asked If there was
no way to secure compensation at the
hands of the government. Mr.. Brant-
ley took the matter up with the attor-
ney general, asking if there is any
fund in the department of justice to
cover such cases, and if not, whether
he would not recommend some action
by congress.
The attorney general has written
Mr.. Brantley replying that there is no
such fund, and that it would be i'm
possible to make the recommendation
suggested, for the reason that it would
set very bad precedent. He points
out that the duty of the citizen to
serve on juries when called upon, and
suggests that for the government to
make provision for the payment of
claims of this character would, per-
haps, open the way to the suggestion
that it would be putting a premium
on yerdicts for the government.
