Mrs. Minnie Walter Myers, in her
Romance and Realism of the South

one Of the last challenges to duel
which occurred in Louisiana. The at

longed to one Of the oldest families Of
Louisiana, and Mr.. Humble. q sturdy
ex-blacksmith Of Georgia. who had be-
come man Of political consequence.
Mr.. Marigny took offense at some re-
marks Of the Georgian and sent him q
challenge. The big ex-blacksmith was
nonplused.
II know nothing about this dueling
business" he said. II will not fight
him"
You must" said his friend. mo

honest son Of Georgia. II am only q
blacksmith"
But you will be ruined If you do not
fight. urged his friends You will
have the choice Of weapons. and you
can choose SO as to give yourself an
equal chance with your adversary"
The giant asked time In which to
consider the question and ended by ac-
cepting. He sent the following reply
to III. Marigny:
Il accept. and in the exercise of my
privilege l stipulate that the duel shall
take place In Lake Pontchartrain, In
six feet of water. sledge hammers to
be used as weapons"

SAILORS FINDING REST
STATIONS CONVENIENT

The boys of the battleships are TAX
ing full advantage of the various rest
stations fitted up for their convenience
about the city and it is expected that
later on, when the most of the sight
seeing is over and the sailors become
better acquainted with the locations of
these various stations that there will be
MUCH more advantage taken.
There were, few sailors at any of the
stations yesterday afternoon until well
on towards five clock, when they be-
gan to gather in. In the Fort street
station and writing room, in the Wilder
building, many of the men spent some
hours last night, although few of them
found any particular use for the sta
tionery so literally provided. Others
were in the various churches and a. the
Kilohana Art League rooms, where per
haps the contest rest station in the town
has been fitted up, and at the Korean
compound, where the grass was tempt
ing to tired feet and where, under the
trees the sailors squatted in groups
and talked over the day s adventures.
The Y. NJ C. A. was the gathering
place of large number of the men,
as the rooms of that organization are
everywhere, Secretary Super welcoming
the boys heartily.
The sailors are assuredly living up
to the reputation which preceded them
here in their street behavior. Almost
without exception the men of the bat
tleships have conducted themselves
ashore as gentlemen should, while the
number of men in uniform at any time
during the two nights the fleet has been
in port has been negligible.
The naval patrol, which is conspicu.
ous at all times on the streets, appears
to have little to do, but does that little
and quietly.

PEARL HARBOR TRIP
ARRANGE MENTS MADE

The arrangements for the Pearl Har-
Dor excursions have been completed be-
tween the fleet officials and the local
transportation committee. The excur-
sions, as planned, are to take place on
Monday and Tuesday, and three hum
dred officers in all will be taken through
the lochs, where later on the ships of
the Navy will lie.
The naval tug Iroquois will take half
the party each day to the harbor, the
others to go down on the autos provid-
ed by the committee, while it is ar
ranged that the parties will transfer on
the return, those who go by land to
return by water and vice versa. At
the harbor there will be eight of the
battleship launches for the use of the
party, SO that all may cruise about the
Iochs. The Connecticut will send two
of it's launches and there will be one
each from the Wisconsin, Kansas, Min
nesota, Illinois, Kearsarge and Ken
lucky.
The excursion by water will leave the
Alakea slip at half past nine each morn
ing while those officers who go to the
Peninsula by automobile. will leave
probably at the same time.

For some time past the residents of Sisters,
"a little though thickly populated village
on the East Bank of the Berbice River-had
been considerably disturbed in mind over
the frequent loss of their feathered stock,
and "tigers' were suspected of being the
depredators. A large loser was Mrs. Carre-
go, the wife of Mr.. F. Carrega proprietor of
the firm of Messrs. james Lade Il CO... A
watch was kept, but all to no purpose. Even
tualIy q trap was decided upon at the
instance of Mrs. Carrega's son, and this had
the desired effect. During the early hours
Of last Saturday, the groans and wailings of a
captured beast awakened the neighbourhood,
and those who fastened to the spot were
gratified to see Il tigor-but an exceedingly
small! animal,-about three feet III length,
vainly struggling for dear freedom. Safely
placed in q NAL packing case which had
been converted into a cage, the tiger was
brought Town to New Amsterdam, where,
at Mr.. C~arrega's store, it attracted consid-
enable attention. The animal is DOW in the
safe custody of Mr.. Carrega, forming part of
that gentleman's geological collection. DEM

last six months. A noticeable feature in
recent imports is the quantity coming from
Europe. There arrived from Germany 81,
164 short tons. from which country we got
no sugar during May of last year. OF
course these sugars now reported in the
government reports are actual arrivals in the
country and entered in the custom houses.
Large amounts have been bought in Europe
that bad not yet arrived in this country;
but the actual entries from Germany alone
reached the figures that we have named
above. Taking the entire imports for the
eleven months as stated above, we find that
1,O78 1862 tons came from Cuba and the
next largest source of supply was Java, FROM
which we got 291, 1893 short tons. The Bri-
fish West Indies, that used to sell the bulk
of their sugar to the United States, have
sent us during the eleven months only 7,21S
short tonss The other West Indies sent us
in 50, 612 short tons, and taken together,
rank as the third source of supply of foreign
sugars. All of these sugars, other than those
from Cuba, of course had to pay the fall
duty and could only find a market in this
country when it became manifest that the
supply from Cuba was entirely insufficient
to meet the current demands Ibid.

Louisiana Plan en-, 1st august,

In a recent issue of the New Orleans Item
q correspond nt called the attention of May
or Behrman to the fact that he had worked
the city barroom trade of New Orleans last
year and made it q point to check up oil the
barrooms of all classes, and in the hundred
that he visited he counted IN average of
eleven hangers-on in each, with no visible
means of support. If the same proportion
be maintained in the {, 900 barrooms of
New Orleans, he estimates hat n, 800 able.
bodied men, who are absolutely shiftless
and q detriment to any city, are there spend
ing their time. He urges upon the mayor
the creating and enforcing of the necessary
vagrant laws, with which these men may be
made TO clean the streets and chop the
weeds, and they can perhaps be availed of in
the country, where the growing crops prom
Use splendid results for the coming harvest
season.
In commenting on all this, the editor of
the New Orleans Item indicates that the
opportunities in the country are great, and
that every man, who desires it, can secure
work. The estimate of Mayor Behrman's
correspondent may be too large, but even if
half the number of laborers were found and
distributed throughout the country, the
relief that they would give during the har-
vest season would be immense. The coun-
try needs every available man, and the mayor
and the police of New Orleans can help Lou
isiona and promote civilization by forcing
the people in New Orleans who have no Wis
Die means of support to make q show of
where they do get their support, or to go
directly to the country for it. We are en-
deavouring to secure laborers from Europe
and at the same time are supporting u vast
army Of idle men at home. All of this
should be brought into better shape by ade-
quate legislation and that at an early date,
