BLOOD SHED
IN DUEL

Paris Nov. 21-Real blood was shed
in two French duels today, Count
Raymond DeCastelane hitting Count
De Estrange's right arm In the first
duel and George Casella punching
his 1.-the rapler through Jean oar
nold's right arm I'm the second af-
fair. None of the participants was
seriously wounded and honor was
perfectly satisfied.
The encounter between De Castel-
lane and Dc EEstang followed a
brawl in skating ring. De L'Estang
did not like DE Castellane and during
the grand parade. when the elite of
French society was trying to skate
and be graceful at the same time, De
L'Estang tripped Count Raymond.
causing him to fall with unseemly
lack of dignity to the floor. Raymond
with the fiery impetuosity of the DE
Castellane family that was 80 often
manifested by Count Boni when he
slapped his wife, Immediately sent
his seconds to wait upon De LEtang

arranged.

break just as they do i'm novels, DE
Castellane and De L'Estang and their
seconds met beneath the great ferris
wheel near the champs De Mars. The
two principals were attlred in conven-
tional black and wore soft shirts open
at the throat so each could see that
neither wore coat of mail. For
while this was a gentleman affair,
1t was thought best to be on the safe
side.

to test their temper, gazed at the
rising sun, as they really believed 1t
might be their last look, listened to
the birds as though they actually
thought 1t might be the last time,
and then stood "En Garde."
There were parties and thrusts and
foils. 1t was really some fencing. AS
American sporting already say the
first round ended with honors even
and blood unshed.
In the second round De Castellane
showed his superiority with the foils
and spectators looked to see him dis
arm his foe with twist of the wrist
like duelist heroes some times do.
But no, hot blood was not to be
denied. De Castellane thrust for
ward like serpent darts upon its
prey" and his sword pierced the mus
cles OF his foes sword arm. De LES
tang, helpless, dropped his rapier and
stood at the mercy of his cruel enemy.
But De Castellane aid not kill him
on the spot. No French duellist would
stick a sword into an unarmed foe.
Honors having been thus repaired,
surgeons patched up De LEstang's
punctured arm.
Georges Casella and Jean Marnold
stood by and watched the blood flow
without a murmur. 1t takes a brave
man to see other wounds and realize
that 1t will be his turn in few min
utes.
But Casella and Marnold had set
their alarm clocks for today and risen
at this unseemly hour for the full
purpose of staying each other. So
they carefully shed their waistooats
and barred their breasts for Marnold
had written "Polemic" (whatever that
ls) against Casella in one of the
newspapers, and honor was to be
avenged.
In an instant they were at II. Casel-
la was the best swordsman and he
punched his "frog-sticker" through
Marnold's arm, even as De Castellane
had done to De L'Estang. Thus more
honor was avenged.

case of John j. Evers. the clever little

In the first place, Evers broke his
leg fortnight before his club was

hands and clubs Of policemen, as many
Chicago women learned to their sor-
row during the garment workers
strike.
The Chicago clothing strike differed
from that of New York in many ways,
but chiefly In the open support given
the striking women by their more for
tunate sisters of society and club life.
The latter marched, declaimed and
worked with the strikers and when ar
rested produced their visiting cards,
neatly engraved, and insisted they
should be released and given freedom
TO continue their agitation.
That is where Chief Steward issued
his democratic ultimatum. "If the So
ciety woman and social workers are
dlsorderly they will be arrested the
same as any one else" declared the
chief, "and an engraved visiting card
rarely contains all the information
needed in booking a prisoner at a
police station"
Since then many of the clubwomen
have paused noticeably, but not in
their denInciation of Steward. This
chief, like New York's new detective
head, is an experiment from the feder-
al service, but Steward gained his
knowledge of how TO run a police de-
partment from bosslng the mail carriers
OF Chicago and doing it well. He has
also made a success of the Chicago po-
lice reformation and has produced a
quaking among grafters and a calm
among the vice promoters.
