Perhaps a very good reason among

her a patriaFchal appearance. She is
pensiOner on the bounty Of the local
Roman Catholics.
Her son, aged SO, was priest Of the Jesus
Church in PCsen. By a strange cOinci-
dence, while celebrating mass before the
altar on his mothers 125th birthday, he
fell dead from heart disease.
Frau Dutkiewiez was married over
ninety years ago, and has been a widow
for forty-five years. She gave birth to
ten children, and her descendants now
number more than 200. She possesses two
great great-great grandchildren.
She distinctly remembers the NaDoleOnic
wars and the final fall of Napoleon. Those
faF-Off events at the beginning Of the
nineteenth century are clearly impressed
on her memory, whereas many incidents
of the last quarter of a century have been
entirely forgotten.

SPANIARD P|NKED IN
DUEL WITH PARTISAN

Especial Cable to Herald-ReDubllcan-)
Paris, March 19.-Calaint Monsieur
Payer, a Paris Merchant, was the victor
in a duel about a pair of blue eyes and a
cigar, fought in the Pare des Princes, the
other day. His opponent was a Spaniard,
living in London, who had behaved in
manner unworthy Of a member of the
chiValrous nation.
The two met in railway car on jour
ney from Madrid, the only other occupant
of which was a pretty Partisan dancer,
with whom NJ. Payer was instantly slnit-
ten. The Spaniafd, who sat opposite the
lady, lighted a cigar whereupon the lady
was nightly offended and told him he
was very impolite TO smoke In her pres
ence. Instead of apologiZing and throwing
his cigar away, the Spaniard insisted he
had the right to do as he pleased.
This so angered the worthy FTenchman
that he would have sprung upon the Span
lard, had not the lady held him back by
main force. The upshOt of the matter was
an exchange Of cards and the eventual
meeting in the park
They fought with swords for over an
hour, amid mud and pouring rain. M.
Payer pinI1ed his man several times and
finally the Spaniard withdrew with an
ugly wound in his sword arm. The duel
lists parted unrecOncied.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Treatment Of Prisoners.
, tina Editor Of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor Of The Age-Herald.
A man who willfully and persistently
relies the laws of his country and his
state Is a dangerous citizen, and cannot
hope for the respect of law-abiding peo-
pie While this is true it should not pre-
vent those who do violate the law from
having justice given them, this being a
duty between man and man. But in all
such cases the integrity of the Judge and
the jury. should be solid. Whenever con-
viction follows and the man or the woman
becomes a prisoner, 1t matters not what
may be the color, then 1t is that the most
widespread sympathies should be in evil
dence.
A humane soldier will not abuse q
prisoner of war, and keeper of prison
should not infiict severe punishment, or
pain, unless it Is absolutely necessary
to do SO. It would be gross oppression.
If recent reports reaching the newspa-
pers be true, the inmates of some prisons
have been cruelty wronged, and in what
ever communities these wrongs have been
committed condemnation should be
spoken by the people and the offenders
should be made to suffer.

his warmest supporters. Congressman
Heflin's advocacy of the amendment will.

cradle strength This fact coupled with
the support of Judge benson, which will
probably result in inducing many of
Judge Denson's friends to the same way
of thinking, will give Judge Driver what
is considered a fine opportunity.
Judge benson states in his letter that
he will not be a candidate for Congress
