THE CODE OF HONOR.
Dazzling ms IL Was In France In the
Time of Richelieu.


Time of Richelieu.
The passion for dueling. which had
cost France, it was said, between
7.OC a ID 5000 lives during the twenty
yeat. If Henry Tvs reign, was at its
height when his son came to the
throne. The council of Trent in 1916
had solemnly condemned the practice
of single combat, impartially includ-
ing principals, seconds and spectators
in it's penalty Of accommodation. In
1902 an edict Of Henry pronounced the
"damnable custom of dueling intro
duced by the corruption of the CEN
tury' to be the cause of so many pite-
Gus accidents, to the extreme regret
and displeasure of the king and to the
irreparable damage of the state, that
we should count ourselves unworthy
to hold the scepter If we delayed to
repress 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, confisca-
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 pre-
vailed. In 1926 Richelieu published a
milder form of prohibition. The first
offense was no longer capital, third
only of the offenders property was to
be confiscated, and the Judges were
permitted to recognize extenuating cir
cumstances.
A few months later the Comte de
Bouteville thought fit to test the min
ister's 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 scaffold, and the marked de-
crease from that time in the number
Of duels may be attributed either to
the moderation used in framing the
law or to the memorable resolution
with which it was enforced.-Macmil-
lan's Magazine.

the property owners located on this
street and vicinity was held and a
resolution adopted that the line be
run through the park in preference to
Twentieth street. 1t was declared
that a freight line was not wanted on
Twentieth street. That was before a
specific provision was made in regard
to the class of freight to be hauled
and the number of cars to constitute
train.
Favors Twentieth Street.
One of the attorneys involved in the
present court proceedings said this
morning: THE easiest and best way
and quickest of solution would be to
grant the use of Twentieth street. At
the present time the street railway
company may use Twentieth street
but not for freight car purposes. I'm
der the ruling Of Judge Fox the COM
pany may go ahead now and build on
Twenty-third street. The only way to
stop it would be by Injunction pro-
ceedings and it does not look as If it
would be possible to secure a writ of
injunction. There is doubt if specific
" pIopelly Dc lofSu.
Even if it were enjoined, the company
could build on Twentysecond street.
This would throw a line of tracks
across the maia entrance to the pa~k
and at the same time make the city
liable to injunction proceedings
brought by property owners.
Il don't see why they do not use
Twentieth street or an alley. The
people out there can have no more
complaint than those on North Fifth
or any other of the proposed streets.
West Main street residents are not
complaining and their homes are just
as pretty and valuable as those on
Twentieth street. Beside, the people
out on Twentieth street are used to
cars"
Wants Matter Settled.
The Commercial club wants the mat
ter settled as quickly as possible. The
prospect of continuous and prolonged
litigation is not hailed with favor.
The business interests and general
public combined will welcome a set
Element. 1t is probable if an agree
ment is not reached soon council will
suspend the ordinance against operat-
ing freight cars on Main street. This
will throw conditions into the same
state they were year ago.

NATURAL SOAP.
The Queer Fruit Of q Tree That Grows
In Algeria.

In Algeria.
Soap grows on trees in Algeria. The
soap tree is ornamental and reaches
height of fifty feet 1t begins to bear
fruit when six years old. The wood Is
close grained, takes a good polish and
is admirably suited for furniture. The
average income from a tree is $40 to
$50 a year. The composition of the
fruit consists Of a nut shaped hull in
which is a seed. In the hull exists the
soapy matter in the proportion of 80
to 40 per cent of the bulk of the hull.
The soap principle is set free by the
shredding OF the hull and using 1t with
water just as IL it were piece OF soap.
A. beautiful lather is the result, and the
cleansing qualities are such that there
is no soap made by human process that
can compare with them. For toilet
purposes the same applies. The hull
can be made into a powder and the
powder into a cake, so as to make the
use Of it easier. 1t can also be made
into liquid for hair wash, dentifrice
and various other preparations. Seeds
OF the Algerian soap tree have been i'm
ported to the United States. and soap
trees have been discovered IN Florida
indigenous to the soil. The seed has a
kernel which contains a fixed oil In ev-
cry respect preferable to the best Inn
ported olive oil, either for eating or
culinary purposes. and also for all
kinds Of industrial products In which
the olive oil Ii used The yield in oil is
twice that of the olive fruft-Ealti-
more American.

recent meeting of the officials of the
local Independent company, he learned
of the intended combination, but Of
fered no objections to it.
In Embarrassing Place.
This combination, however, placed
Mr.. Lindemuth in an embarrassing po-
sition. AS president of an independ-
ent company which had Joined hands
with one of the trust companies he
could not consistently continue to act
as president of the International indie
pendent Telephone association. which
was organized with the primary object
of fighting the Bell interests. On the
other hand, when he was appointed
general counsel of the independent
combination, he could not consistently
continue to act as president of the
Home Telephone company Of this city,
as he will be expected to direct the
campaign which will be waged against
all independent companies who have
affiliated with Bell companies.
Statement Issued.
Today the Palladium received an au-
thoritative statement from the Inter
national Independent Telephone asso-
citation. After announcing the resig-
nation of Mr.. Lindemuth as president
of that combination, the following
statements are made:
Back of this resignation there is
significance of enormous import in the
telephone field. 1t is known that the
organization has been giving serious
consideration to the question Of pro-
posed mergers between the Bell Tele-
phone company and a few of the hide
pendent companies, first, because of
their unlawful character and of the
activity of the United States govern
ment at this time in the matter of the
antitrust laws. and within which the
mergers are clearly defined, and fur
thermore the futherancc of the inter
ests of an open field and fair competi-
ton in Telephony.

ANCIENT LIGHTHOUSES.


With the Earliest Commerce.
Beacon lights to guide the wave
tossed mariner to a safe harbor must
have been almost coeval with the earli-
est commerce. There Is positive record
that lighthouses were built In ancient
times, though few evidences now re-
main to us from old writer's or in crum-
bled ruins. This is not strange for light
towers, never the most stable architec-
tural form, were exposed to the storms
Of sea and war;
The Greeks attributed the first light
houses to Hercules, and he was consid-
cred the protector Of voyagers. 1t is
claimed by some that Homer refers to
lighthouses in the nineteenth book Of
the ''Iliad."
Virgil mentions a light on a temple
to Apollo which, visible far out at sea,
warned and guided mariners. The Co.
lossus ut Rhodes, erected about 300
B. c., is said to have shown a signal
light from its uplifted hand.
The Oldest towers known were built
by the Libyans in lower Egypt. They
were temples also, and the lightkeeper
priests taught pilotage, photography
and navigation. The famous tower on
the isle of Pharos at Alexandria, built
about 2S5 B. c., is the first lighthouse
Of undoubted record. This tower, con-
structed by Sostratus, the architect.
was square in plan. of great height and
built in offsets. An open brazier at the
top Of the tower contained the fuel for
the light. At Dover and Boulogne, on
either side Of the English channel. were
ancient lighthouses built by the Ro-
mans. But the lighthouse at Coruna,
Spain, built in the reign Of Trajan and
reconstructed in 1854. Is believed to be
the oldest existing lighthouse

MANS HEADGEAR.
From the Primitive Cap to the Glossy
High Hat of Today.

From the Primitive Cap to tho GLOSSY
High Hat of Today.
Earliest Of all forms of headgear was
the cap. The hat did not really come
into common use till the seventeenth
century. In the time of Charles l. the
queer high sugar loaf shaped hat came
into fashion. 1t was wound with a
rich band and trimmed with a feather.
Constant balancing Of the head was
necessary to keep it on. The hat was
taken up by the Puritans, who salts
fed their bitter consciences by discard
ing the frivolous band and the wicked
feather.
Charles II. brought the French peri
wig into England, and the tall hat
went out to make way for low. broad
brimmed thing, gorgeous with feathers
and gimcracks. These broad brims be-
came broader and broader. At last 1t
became necessary to turn them up.
First this was done at the back. finally
according to the wearer's idea.
Out Of this extravagant style of head
gear grew the cooked hat. The foot
men and the liveried coachmen of
many European nations still wear this
style of headgear. During Queen Anne's
time the cooked hat was the hat Of the
gentleman. The correct fashion was
to carry it under the arm as much as
possible.
The French revolution, which took
of SO many heads that had worn the
cooked hat, took off the cooked hat too.
In its place the crescent shape became
the style, partly by force. The direct
ancestor of that dreadful thing, the
high hat of today, was the noble and
sturdy beaver. Beavers went out OF
fashion largely because the supply of
material became exhausted--London

The entire matter came before the
officers and executive committee of the

yesterday and decisive and drastic &C
ton was taken. President Lindemuth
was fully exonerated from any blame
in the matter; but the decks have
been cleared for action. His resigna-

appropriated for legal expenses, secret
service and other expenses, $4,000 of

all charges of violating the laws of the
States and the United States.
Mr.. Lindemuth has resigned as
president of the Indiana concern, in
protest of its action, and will take
active part personally in conducting
these suits. The Independents have
