tt ose days to thinking, and resulted in the abolition of such absurd appeals to heaven and the judicial ordeal was abol- ished.
 From this time the duel lost it's sacred character. From being an appeal to the decision of God, it became a means of obtaining satisfaction for an injury, espe- cislly for an insult. Francis I declared that none but "a base born fellow would be given the lie without satisfaction. This gave the duel great impetus in France, and thence it spread all over Europe
 Efforts to Abolish Code in Europe.
 It was in 1891 that the new wave of dueling fever swept over thc continent to such an extent that the pope wrote d strong letter condemning the practice. German lawmakers passed exceedingly strict laws against 1t; in Italy an effort was actually made to punish duelist .n Russia the Czar forbade it entirely, and then, in the very year of the popes let ttr, sanctioned court of honor one of whose provisions was that an officer chal- ltnged to fight and refusing, if the court found the cause for the challenge was sufficient, was dismissed from the army
 In France the authorities made a per- functory effort to stop the growing frenzy for dueing. Poor old M. Le Cierc. who has made a good living providing a place end means for duels on little island at Neuily, near Paris, was obliged by the police to close his place, but at that the effort to stop the practice ceased and cueis grew in number. It has been said in satire that modern French dueling party is always accompanied by a snap shot artist. Of course, this is in pleas antry, an exaggeration, but not without a basis of fact.
 In 1896 snapshot photographs wera taken and reproduced in FIllustration of hot pri Ie Sagan and M. Abel IIermant. The rext photographed duel was that wita swords between M. Thorngeux the clev- crest amateur fencer in Paris, and the o'Levalier Pini, an Italian master of the ert.

Senator Montford Stokes of North Carolina was severely wounded in duel fought near Salisbury with Jesse D. Pierson
 The Terry-Broderick Duel.
 California has had some great duels, the most famous of which was the encounte' between Senator Frederick and Judge Terry in 1859. Frederick was senator from California. Terry was chief justice sot the supreme court of California. The quarrel grew out of state election. The duel took place at the Lake House duel ing ground, near San Francisco. There were about S5 spectators, some of whom 1ad come a long distance. Brodericks s ball struck the ground in front of Terry. Terry shot Broderick through the lung and he died few days later. Terry was marked man for the remainder of his lie. He was killed nearly 20 years ago by deputy marshal, who suspected that he was about to attempt to shoot Justice s;rephen Field of the supreme court.
 Another California encounter was be- tween Congressman James w. Denver Cisen member of the stare senate) and ox-Congressman Gilbert, in 1852. They fought with rifles, and Gilbert was killed. { There are records of single mortal com Lats of a very ancient date. Some of the earliest mentions of them are in the Iliad Of Homer That between David and Go- Hath shows that the Hebrews were ae- customed to them, and there is an &C., count of one between a Roman and a gil gantic Gaul during the war of 361 B. c. During the middle ages duels, which had become very common, were approved by Jurists and clergymen as a means of the trial of a case between two persons. But they became so prevalent that the church was soon obliged to interfere
 By the Truce of God of 1041, dues were forbidden between Wednesday and Monday, the days intervening being sa- cred to Christ's passion.
 Louis TX attempted to restrain duel- ing, and Philip the Fair framed laws against it, but soon after permitted it in criminal cases which could be settled in nc other way
