TERROR IF PARIS MEETS HIS MATCH.  General Challenge Is Accepted
 By Woman A DISCARDED FLAME Pamela Gorse Lays Out the Bully and Finally Sends Him to the Doc
 tors Shop For Re-
 pairs.
By RAoNE DE SAINT RENE.

Paris, August 15-A professional pugi- list, known as the Terror of Paris" was performing in a booth at the Montmatre fair on Wednesday and was much elated that he had sgnally vanquished all who ventured to try conclusions with him, when his challenge to fight anyone was accepted by a tall well-built woman. To his dismay he found himself confront ed by a former flame, Pamela Gorse, well known as the female Hercules whom he had discarded in favor of a less mus cular lady. She began by knocking him down before he had time to say a word.
 After 8 painful suspense the Terror struggled to his feet and attempted to clinch, but Mme Hercules fairly danced around him. She landed several masterly undercuts besides some sledge hammer blows straight from the shoulder, and watching her opportunity gave him knockout blow on the chin, which stretch cd him senseless on the floor. She then stalked n1ajestically out, none daring to stop her. The "Terror' is now in the Lariboisiere hospital, and the question whether the lady Hercules" shall be ar rested is under consideration.
 Extraordinary allegations are being made regarding the augmentation which took place in the civil list during the France dictatorship. It is stated that in addition to the large extre sums paid to the late king. hundreds of high gov ernment officials, generals, and court dignitaries received large advances on their salaries.
 For example, certain general holding m influential position at court is alleged to have received f10,000 of his salary in advance. Another army officer recently appointed to a colonial position of im- portance is said to have drawn three wears salary and then refused to take the most There are, it is said hundreds of such cases and the government has prom ,sed to present a full list to the par Iiment next season. The minister of finance denies that anything improper has been done.
 A duel took place this morning between Senor Alfonzo Costa, the leader of the republican party in parliament and Count Penha Garcia an ex-minister, as the result of some strong language used dur ing the discussion in parliament last night on the Civil list They fought through three rounds, and Senor Costa was slight lv wounded in the arm Although this ended the duel the combatants refused to be reconciled.

New York August 15.-The use of the automobile as a means of long distance transportation from one part of the United States to another has so fn- creased within the last two years that, in tho opinion of the officers of the Automobile Club of America, cmong whom are the president, Judge E. H. Gary, and Cornelius Vanderbilt of the board of governors, 1t is only ques- ton of good trans-continental reads when the automobile will become common, rather than an unusual, means of travel for seeing all of America. One of the most convincing facts in support of the rapid growth of the long distance utility and pleasure trips in cars is the experience of the Au- tcnobile clubs bureau of tours has been having of late. The club now has membership which includes prom inent automobiists in 23 states, and a.so/iias on its tour subscribers list hundreds of correspondents In every , state of this country, and in many for
 eign cites.
 The tuslncss of the bureal of tou, S
 is to ,ay out routes from any point here CT abroad to any other polDt.
 FroIn it's representatives in hundreds os localities il gets first hand da-a and furnishes tn its subscribers a fully worked cut itinerary, and, where pcs sible. wit 1odo maps, data about ho- tels and garages. At first, its chief
 business Was ill supplying what might
 be called local routes for tours O. o0O
 O. 41n miles, ana in working out plans for European tuuB. Of late, however, 1t has been surprised to get -cquests from many members in the far west to supply routes from their cities to New York. And in many cases members in distant ,tates have desired, in aldi- tion, full read information for touring the middle Atlantic states and New England Frequently these routes are for side-trips for some western or southern automobilists who are en
 route for extensive foreign tours. And already there is heavy demand fer
 many automcbllIsts and tn cir cars d.
 rect to Savannah for the grand prize
 race on Thanksgiving day
 l For years past there has been sort of hegira of automobilists from distant
 states to New York City, either on busi- ness or to enjoy the opera or theatres of the metropolis. Many of these now make their New York headquarters at
 the club It is noticed, however, in the i garage office of the club, which operates 1 for It's members and guests huge ma
 chine shop and storage plant that where l as many of the westerners' ars formerly arrived at the club in clean condition : which would indicate that they had been i brought on by rail or boat, the majority ! of the cars now arriving from distant [ points show by the dust and mud on their
 guards that their owners have used them
