DUELS ON THE TAPIS.

A large number OF duels are to be
fought at Nagyyarad, Hungary, as q
result of a dispute about the costume
worn by the president Of the local union
of solicitors at ball. 1t appears that
the man tn question attended ball
given by the Nagyyarad law students
in light blue summer suit and brown
boots. The townfolks who had been
invited interpreted this costume as an
insult aimed at them. A meeting OF
the law students called to debate the
question was of very stormy nature.
One hundred and twenty-five deadly
insults, it is recorded, we're offered,
and are to be wiped out by u cores
ponding number OF duels. The police
had to break up the meeting. The
duels are to be fought with swords.
an article was published in a radical
newspaper in Madrid Monday night
calling Deputy Myro, who was involved
in a personal quarrel in the chamber
Monday with Deputy Iglasias, a coward.
When the question between them was
settled Monday. in time to prevent a
duel, Deputy Fuente took part part in
the settlement, siding with lglaslas.
It appears that Myro connected Fuente
with the publication referred to, and
challenged him to meet him on the
field OF honor. The seconds OF the two
mon met yesterday afternoon and made
arrangements for duel, which Will
probably be fonght today.

THE TRIPLE TRAGEDY NORTH
CAROLINA.

Because threats poured from al
sides against Nathan Montague
charged with assaulting and numbering
Miss Matte Sanders, and with mur
dering her father, J. L. Sanders, anC
her niece, Irene Overton, at Overton,
n. c., Sheriff Harvard yesterday after
noon rushed the negro across the
country in an-automobile to the state
penitentiary, at Raleigh.
Sheriff Wheeler. of Oxford, IN going
to Durham with his almost frozen and
half dressed prisoner, evaded the MOB
keeping its members from his track by
pretending to GO toward Roxboro, in
stead of Durham.
A blood-spattered well-house, with
knife beside it, gave the clue which
led to the arrest Of Montague, who
lives in the neighborhood. In bis
house the bloody skirt Of Mrs. Sanders,
and other parts Of her clothing, were
found. Blood and auburn hair also
were found on the negro's clothes.
That the first intention was to throw
her body into the well appears likely.
copious quantities Of blood having been
found all about the place.
Suspicion fell upon Montague III !

ing an Overton family butcher hog.
Miss Sanders also was there. While q;
work upon the slaughtered animals
he was seen with knife which is SAID
to he that found near the well. \
neighbor, Immediately upon seeing
it, exclaimed, That's Nathan Monta
gue's knife; he tried to sell it to nc
today"
The murder was discovered by
neighbors, attracted by the fire, in the
midst cf which the bodies we're visible.
The old man and his granddaughter
were close together, being found IN the
corner Of the house, and the daughter
was several feet away.
At the inquest yesterday it was
declared that the girls screams were
heard about 10 O'Clock, a pistol shot
following cries OF murder.
In the negro's home were found 4
pistol with three empty chambers and
the bloody skirt, which was identified
Immediately by the girls mother, who
said she had worn it the same day.
Mrs. Sanders was visiting in Oxford,
aud reached the scene Yesterday after
noon.
Montague's wife, on the stand, de-
clared she had never seen the skirt
before.
With the exception Of some ex-
plantations differing materially from
those OF his wife, Montague has said
nothing to incrminatc himself.

that he had been terribly beaten with
some heavy implement and finally
killed by stab in the neck, which
severed the jugular vein.

ordinary spiders spin one OF a uniform

there are found spiders that spin vari-
colored webs One particularly pro-
duces red. yellow and black threads,
which 1t binds together with pleasong

SOUTH OAHoTA'S SEVTN FOOT
BALLOT.

1t Will be recalled that in a recent
episode in our political history the
citizens OF South Dakota had the
pleasure of voting upon ballot some
seven feet in length. The intelligent
voter was expected 10 grasp the docu-
ment firmly. read it through careful
ly. debate the laws and constitutional
amendments thereon at length, and
then vote in accordance with his rea-
son and conscience Maybe some of
the South Dakotan electorate did just
this But it seems very likely that
others did not And there is every
Inherent possibility that DR., Anna
Howard Shaw guessed the truth when
she thus explained the defeat OF the
suffrage amendment upon this seven
fold sheet
1T was the seyen-footlong ballot
that helped 10 kill the woman suffrage
bill in South Dakota. There were six
amendments to the constitution, of
which the woman suffrage was one.
But the fight was not against us The
liquor dealers wished 10 down one OF
the amendments, and TO prevent con-
fusion with that seven-fold ballot, they
sent out word that all of the amend
ments would be voted down. If ours
had been the only one, | think we
might have won.
Exactly such chance considerations
have determined referendums In the
past and undoubtedly Will continue To
do so in the future And where 1t
not for the present unthinking hue
and cry for more democracy" no one
would expect anything else. In truth
there is no need of complicated po-
litical theory TO support the represen-
tative system of government founded
by our ancestors. Plain common
sense would demand it The voters OF
a state or a city cannot draft and
properly consider complex legislation
any more than the stockholders of
large corporation can pass upon the
details Of Its business.
If our hasty relormeTs Of South Da-
lIota and elsewhere would spend the
time which they devote TO undermin-
ing the representative system to labor
ing for a better quality of representa-
tlon, something beneficial might be ac-
conplished AT least they would not
be turning the country back toward a
primitive and loGg-discarded form OF
goyernment.-New York Evening Sun.
