IHS III aSDlngtOn.
A Washington dispatch says: With
the return of the early birds" from

Washington society is beginning to
brighten up bit. It is already evil
dent that equestrianism is TO be a
popular pastime for women as well
as men during the autumn months.

no spirited saddle horses or who have
never learned to ride. What is more
probably nine-tenths of the fair
riders will go it man-fashion, or in

daughter of the late senator from
OHIO, who is now Mrs. Medill Me
Cormick, introduced the divided skirt

hands in holy horror, excIaiming:
How shocking!" Since then the

rare, and, with revival of interest

BROTHERS-lN-LAW IN A DUEL
An Old Family Fued Results in a
Double Tragedy. WOman's Life
Saved by Daring husband.

Saved by Daring Husband.
PELHAM, Ga.-Each participants
firing with unerring aim J. L. Mar
chant of Colquitt county and C. H.
Tate of Mitchell county, well-known
farmers and brothers-in-law, fought
a duel to death near this place late
this afternoon in the presence of
their wives.
The double tragedy is the result
of a family fued of long standing,
according to current report.
Both Men Prominent.
Both men were prominent and well
connected. The affair created pro-
found sensation throughout this Sec
ton.
Tate had driven to a branch near
his home to haul sand when Mar
chant, in company with his wife,
was driving along the public road
and met Tate Only a few words
passed between the two men before
the shooting took place.
MarChant Saves Wife's Life.
Marchant, by throwing himself in
front of his wife to protect her from
Tate's firing, doubtless saved the
womans life. His body caught every
bullet from Tate's weapon.
The men began firing following a
short, heated quarrel and at close
range. After each had been shot
the men continued firing point blank
at each other until both revolvers
were emptied.
Tate's wife, short distance away,
also witnessed the shooting.
The scene following the deadly af-
fray was CHASTITY. The fallen men
lay within a few feet of each other,
great splotches of blood covering tho
ground about the places where each
body lay.
