How an Emperor Avenged a Blow.
In the same way that European Of
ficers are debarred from fighting
duels with people of the working
classes, so are they precluded from
meeting royal p%ersonages and crowned
heads on the field of honor. If a young
officer during a heated argument
with some comrade of royal or i'm
perial rank receives a blow. he has no
alternative but to blow his own
brains out.

struction of this kind. The late Arch

ceives while abroad a challenge to
fight, OF is made the subject of an in
dignity calling for redress to fight, he
is forced to resign not only his COIL
mission but also the membership of
his clubs. Not even all the immense
social influence of colonel the Hol.
Frederick Wellesley, brother Of tie
late Earl Cowley, and now husband
of the widowed Duchess of yelling
ton, was able to save him from a fate
such as this while acting as charge
d'affaires of Great Britain at Vienna
some - or Is years ago. Col. Welles,
ley, who was also A. ID. G. to Queen
Victoria, became involved in the Aus
trian capital in a quarrel about a wom-
an with an Austrian %nobleman, Count
K, who resented to such an extent
his behavior, as well as his remarks,
that he struck him with his glove
across the face and challenged him 20
fight. Wellesley refused, however, I'd
accept the challenge on the grouId
that by so doing he would render hilp-
self liable to dismissal from the arm Z,
owing to the fact that the English
articles of war prescribe the penalty
of being cashiered for every officer
involved in a duel either as a princl-
pal or as a second.
Called to Task by His General.
Wellesley was at once relieved o.

suggestion of the Viennese court,
which did not relish the idea of being
compelled to accord diplomatic hon.
ors to a man who had thus shown the
white feather, and shortly after his
return to London one of his fellow
officers of the Guards, Capt. John Del
acour, who had witnessed the affair
at Vienna, brought the matter before
the notice of the other members Of
the corps. In due course it reached
the ears of the old duke of Cambridge,
cousin of Queen Victoria and general
issimo of the British army. He sent
for Col. Wellesley and asked him Y

has no alternative but either to kill
himself or else to disappear and seek
his fortune in some remote foreign
country, where, disguised as to ap-
p~earance, silent as to his origin, and
under an assumed name, he passes
his time in fear and trembling lest he
should be recognized and be once
more driven forth like the wandering
Jew of old from his temporary refuge.
Construed Insults.
There are all sorts of minor pro-
visions of the unwritten law which it
would take too much time and space
to enumerate here, but among which
may be mentioned the rule which con
strues it as an insult when a man in
filling his neighbours glass slants the
bottle backward instead of forward.
More than one sanguinary duel has
been fought to the personal knowl-
edge of the writer in Austria for a
breach of etiquette of this kind. In
the same way in the orient, If in
showing the blade of a sword to an
acquaintance one happens to turn the
edge thereof toward him he will con.
slider his honor impugned, and if by
any chance he is a Japanese of RANK

ting suicide by ripping himself open,
leaving a document stating that hav-
ing been insultef honor demanded
that he should commit hara-kiri, and
calling upon his nearest relatives to
avenge him.
In Relation TO the Thaw Case.
With regard to the application of
the unwritten law to the case OF
Harry Thaw, there are several con.
siderations to be noted in endeavoring
to bring 1t to bear upon the tragedy
OF Madison Square roof garden. II
young Mrs. Thaw had been without
any stormy antecedents, and had been
subjected by Stanford White to indig.
mites and insulting proposals since
her marriage, her husband would have
been justified, according to the terms
of the unwritten law, as understood
abroad, in shooting him, though OF
course 1t would have been more chiv-
alrous to have given him a chance OF
defending himself instead of taking
him at a disadvantage and unarmed.
But, unfortunately, young Mrs
Thaw is not without a past; that she
was educated at the cost of White
and had known him first as a school,
girl, then as a model, and finally as q
chorus girl, for several years prior tc
her marriage. cannot be denied. HeI
relations with White before becoming
Mrs. Thaw, and also her career IL
New York and Paris prior to her mar
riage were OF a nature to debar hel
husband from shooting White unless
he had actually caught him in the
very act Of insulting her. That al
least Is the status Of the Thaw-White
drama from the point OF view OF IN
written law.-New York World.

THE Y

The statements that have been made
rejecting seriously upon the character
of Alderman Meyer, of the Thirteenth
Ward. are imperatively for Grand Jury
investigation. The demand has been
made upon the alderman that he shall
either resign or submit to investiga-
ton, but the charges are Of a charac-
ter to permit of no alternative choice.
Whether Mr.. Meyer resigns or not, the
Grand Jury must inquire into the cir
cumstances and either exonerate the
accused man or indict him.
So far as known there is nothing
definite as yet to show that the charges
are true. Mr.. Meyer energetically
denies them, and he is fully entitled
to a suspension of Judgment until the
facts are brought out. The members
of the Council and the city counsel.
who have quietly looked into the
charges and have made them public.
are entitled to credit. If Mr.. Meyer is
innocent it would have lone him no
good to have had the matter smoth-
cred. for then he would always be
haunted by suspicion and gossip. If ne
is guilty the Council will be purged.

IN STEEL.

In the volume of trade in the iron
and steel business we have a very good
barometer from which TO make
commercial forecasts. SO, with the en-
eral restoration of confidence which has
ono more placed the financial situation
on its feet, and the quickening of en-
eral industry, 1t is good to learn that
the iron and steel business for the
coming year has a bright outlook. Re-
ports are that orders show an exceed
ingly busy year ahead. About SO, 900, 900
ton of steel rails for railroad extern
sions and improvements are already
booked in the Pittsburg district and
hundreds of thousands of tons OF strue-
tural steel are required for buildings
and bridges, while the anticipated ac-
tivity in naval construction promises
not only vast tonnages of armor plate,
bu other structural material of the
highest quality. With such big bust
ness ahead there should be no talk Of
anything but prosperous times in 1908.
