MERRY DUEL IS B|0|cAlEl
And Now Offended Fencer Threatens
to Horsewhip Editors of Gil
Bias in Paris.

PARIS Feb 27.-There are those in
as do Americans, but quite the merriest
public utterance on the subject appear
ed today.
Some days ago the police forbade a
duel in Princess park. The antagonists
went in automobiles to another place
and fought with pistols. Neither of
them being hurt. they took another
automobile ride and then fought with
swords, after which they made up in
the usual manner, mutually compli
menting each other.
Though neither of the combatants
was hurt it was a lively duel, and to
make sure the public would be inform
ed on the details, reporters went along
with the party.
About that time Earnest Charles, of
Gil Bias, wrote an article saying INTEL
igent men ought to refuse to fight duels.
He added those who did fight, obeyed ia
a sense of vanity rather than honor.
The best way to stop the practice was
to Systematically suppress the public
ity, for which professional duelists had
such taste, he said:
Threatens to Horsewhip Editor.
One of the duelists telegraphed to the
editors of Gil Bias, expressing resent
| ment over the article. The dispatch
was followed by a card. The sender,
A ThOmeguex, said he would horsewhip
Earnest Charles for meddling with his
affairs. The card described NJ. Thome-
guex, member of the Publicists' asso-
citation an officer of the academy, a
chevalier of the Order of Agricultural
Merit, ETC.
Ernest Charles today published the
card and the telegram. After promis-
ing his readers he will never fight a
duel, he appeals to them with delicious
irony for advice; he fairly sings: &c
tell me, you who know. I'm exposed
to deal with an eminent fencer, a mem
