Il CODE OF HONOR.
Dueling as 1t Was In France In the
Time of Richelieu.

DOeling as 1t Was In France In the
Time of Richelieu.
The passion for dueling, which had
cost France, it was said, between 1000
and 5000 lives during the twenty
years Of Henry Tvs reign, was at it's
height when his son came to the
throne. The council Of Trent in 1916
had solmenly condemned the practice
Of single combat, impartially including
principals, seconds and spectators In
its penalty of accommodation. In
1902 an edict Of Henry pronounced the
"damnable custom of dueling introduc-
ed by the corruption Of the century
to be the cause Of so many piteous &C
cidents, to the extreme regret and dis
pleasure of the king. and to the irrep-
arabic damage of the state that we
should count ourselves unworthy to
hold the scepter if we delayed to re-
press the enormity Of this crime"
A whole series of edicts followed to
the same effect, but it was easier to
make edicts than to enforce them.
Degradation, Imprisonment, confsca-
ton Of property, loss Of civil rights and
death were the penalties attached to
the infringement Of the laws against
dueling, and still the practice prevail
ed. In 1926 Richelieu published a
milder form of prohibition. The first
offense was NJ longer capital, a third
only Of the offenders property was to
be confscated, and the judges were
permitted to recognize extenuating
circumstances.
A few months later the Comte de
Bouteville thought fit to test the min
listers patience in this direction. The
Place Royale had long been a favorite
dueling ground, and De Bouteville
Travelled from Brussels to fight his
twenty-second duel here, in the heart
of Paris, in deliberate defiance Of the
kings authority. The result was not
encouraging. Montmorency though he
was, the count went with his second
to the scafold, and the marked de-
crease from hat time in the number
Of duels may be attributed either to
the moderation used in framing the
law or to the inexorable resolution
with which it was enforced.-Macmil-
lan's Magazine.

Eased His Conscience.

An amusing story is related Of Johns
Hopkins. Honesty was evidently one
Of the fundamental traits Of his char
acter. On one occasion he was sent by
his mother to borrow a datiron of a
peighbor. The good neighbor gave him
the fatiron and at the same time Of
fered him a piece Of pie.
"No, thank you. I don't want any
pie" said the red faced boy as be
started home. Halfway there the pie
and his conscience were too much FOL
him. He wheeled about and knocked
again at the neighbours door, his face
redder than ever. 81 told you a story
he explained; 81 did want that pie"

WE'VE HAD

the most troublesome time of our lives since last week If there ever was a sorry man in Waterbury 1t was the man who writes our ads. You see we wrote Santa Claus to send us whole lot of dolls, slecs, etc, for Christmas, and Santa Claus said he'd sepd them. But he has been at the telephone talking to hs every half hour since. He wants to know where all the good little boys and girls live and what's their names and how old they are. Well, we 'e told him where every "kid" in town lives. so that part of it is settled. But he continues to ask other ques- tions. He wants to know who are all the living saints that Mayor Thoms is going to put on his new boards shortly. He says the Hon William is to be congratulated on finding the required number Of saints" in the city of Waterbury, Well, we didn't tell Santa Claus we were sorry to see him so mistaken in regard to his opinion of Water bury politicians (calling them saints" oh me, oh my). But poor Santa Claus, as tired as he is, he asked questions for two hours about our board of health. He wants to know are they sleeping; he hash t heard of them taking another trip of inspection few hundred miles away He kinda thinks they have not got over the last trip. Hes well aware they are not good tea drink CTS. If they were they'd have a new creamatory, the best in the state. built by this time.

Combining their efforts a newsboy
and a policeman succeeded in extin-

morning in the umbrella factory of a.

Though the blaze did but $50 damage,
when Policeman Thelen, of the First
Precinct station, discovered it, there
was every indication that it would gain
considerable Roadway.
With water and pals the patrolman
and a newsboy, who rushed after the
policeman into the building, managed
to get the blaze under control without
sending in an alarm.
Thelen was walking past the build
ing, which is located at Market and
Halsey streets, when he saw smoke
Issuing from a window on the second
floor. Up the stairs he went. The
door was locked, but the bluecoat put
his shoulder to it, and once inside he
saw the cause of the smoke. Several
piles of umbrellas were ablaze. Near
the fire were two pals filled with water.
The newsboy, who had followed The
len in, took n and drenched the blaz-
ing umbrellas. Thelen poured the other

sufficient to put the fire out.

FORT IN TRENTON
WON'T TALK POLITICS. He
SAYS.
In Conference with Riparian Commits
sioners He Is Reported to Have Told
Them to Postpone Grants Until Jan. l.
Trrom a STAR correspondent.l

TRENTON, Dec. 19.-Governor-elect
Fort paid a Short visit to the State
House today and called on the MEM
bers of the State Board of Riparian
Commissioners, who were holding their
monthly meeting.
A rumor was afioat in the corridors
that Governor-elect Fort had intimated
to the board that he would be pleased
If they would not make any further
grants or leases until he took office.
The rumor could not be confirmed, but
the fact that 1t was announced that no
grants had been made, seemed to con-
firm the rumor. After leaving the
riparian commissioners Mr.. Fort went
to Attorney-G General McCarter's office,
where he was closeted with the attor-
n~ey-general and former Justice Ben
nett Van Syckle.&
When the conference was over an
EVENING STAR representative asked
the Governor-elect IL he had any news
to Civ out in connection with the or
ganization of the House and the nam
ing Of his secretary. His reply was,
At won't talk politics with anyone"
A further effort to get a statement met
with the same reply.
The Riparian Board communicated
with Attorney-G General McCarter and
requested him to furnish them with an
opinion as to what relations existed
between their board and the severa
oyster commissions.

FLEET
CHALLENGED
TO FIGHT
Coasters Skipper Was An.
CRY Because Armada Was
in His Way.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Rear Admiral
Evanss battleship feet has already
been challenged to battle and has de-
clined the engagement. The challenge
vent to the fleet from the coaster
Huron, which met the fleet steaming
down the coast on the first night after
it left Hampton Roads.
The fleet was in column of fours and
was steaming along at a good clip.
The battleships did not get u of the
way of the coaster, and the skipper
of the latter was obliged to alter his
course a bit to prevent being run down.
This angered the passengers on the
Huron, and they at once sent a wire
less message to Admiral Evans chal-
longing his entire fleet TO mortal COM
bat. Admiral Evans Gid not reply to
the message.
NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The great bat
tleship fleet now moving ON it's peace
cruise toward the Pacific will, it Is said,
come back by way of the Suez Canal,
making the voyage extend over S1,0OO
miles.
A voyage around the world by "the
battle fleet" or even half of it, would
he a naval feat unsurpassed in the his
tory of the world. 1t would mean a
voyage Of more than $1,000 miles. The
trip to San Francisco alone will cover
1900 miles
In the signed statement given to the
public last Saturday by Admiral Evans
he spoke of this great practical cruise
to visit our friends and supporters on
the Pacific coast of the country" He
also said: 81 hope that when we ar
rive home lat our destination the people
have for us upon our arrival a welcome
as warm as the godspeed which they
give US on our departure, and that
should our Commander-in-Chie then
decide to send us on a mission of peace
and goodwill to the nations of the
other hemisphere the same warm in
terest will follow there in the future
as it always has in the past"
This was taken as indicating that
the real destination of the fleet was
the Philippines. 1t was taken for
granted that some of the ships, prob
ably half of them, would be left there,
and the others would continue home
by way of the Suez Canal on the mis-
sion of peace and goodwill to the ma
lions of the other hemisphere
If the ships are taken, after reach
ing Gibraltar, to various ports of the
great European nations, as seems
likely, Uncle Sans flag would be
pretty well known by the time the
coa of the United States was sighted.
