The Duel in Mexico

Although President Diaz always
has disapproved of dueling," remark
ed the ex-consul, "and has done his
best to abolish the practise, It still
prevails in Mexico. The idea that
certain points of honor can be main
tanned only by personal combat is
fundamental characteristic OF the
Latin race.
Among the upper classes duels are
conducted after the Partisan code.

KILLED IN STRIKE RIOT
 ON HARTMAN LINES
Others Wounded When Mob
 Attacks Strike Breakers.

One act of violence in the Illinois Central railroad strike was reported during the morning from Dauphin Park, where an attempt was made to set fire to box car standing on a switch track. Policemen extinguished the flames before much damage had been done.
 The men who sought to burn the car escaped. Dauphin Park Is about q mile from the Burnside Qll.) shops.
 The 800 men still employed at the plant were not annoyed as they enter Id the shops. Groups of strikers stood outside, but made no attempt to inter fere with the men who remained at work. A force of 200 policemen pa trolled the plant and prevented the gathering of crowds. No striker was allowed to go within a hundred feet of the fence surrounding the works.
 Reports from New Orleans say that both sides of the railway strike ap- pear to have settled down for long SlIuEklt. INttlllOdd OAhNNAe "AAA hNA discuss the strike except to predict that they will soon begin accepting all freight offered for shipment. The strikers have been orderly since two or three strikers were sent to jail for 1isobeying q court injunction.
 From Houston, Tex, comes informa- hon that J. J. Pipes, a special officer, was killed just inside the gates of the Southern Pacific railroad shop yards while taking officers and strike break CTS from a train to the yard. S. R. Crockett, another special officer, who was wounded, says the shots were fired from within the yards, where q number of guards were stationed. Captain H. S. Sisk, also injured, said the shots came from strikers who were following the party. J. H. Day, a company employee, said the shots came from one side of the men as they walked toward the shops.
 A party of fifty-five strike breakers en route from the north over the Fris- co lines to Houston was attacked at Denniston, Tex, by a mob armed with clubs and beer bottles. Several per sons were hurt.

The 9th we were relieved from picket. having been on continuously for week We left the front about o'clock a. m. July 10, to rejoin our regi-, ment. Our Corps (the 6th) had been ordered to proceed to City Point, and oh, such dust it was just like flour and very deep, so that the air was thor oughly full of dust, We all looked like millers. We reached City Point about noon, after marching since o'clock in the morning The night had been very hot, and hot day goes without saying.
 We were loaded on the transport, "City of Albany" and left City Point at D. m. sailed down the James River to near Jamestown and anchored till morn ing. This was somewhat different from the marches that we had been having The morning of the 11th of July, 1864 we pulled anchor and started down the James and passed Fortress Monroe about z a. m. We had a splendid chance to view the fortress from the bay. This was the largest one in the United States. kOur trip up the Chesapeake was pleas ant one, and such a relief from the marches that we had had since our start from Alexandra,
 We entered the Potomac about three o'clock this afternoon passed Cedar Point at sundown. Water was low and we halted at midnight and lay at anchor until morning.

We passed Fort Washington about 5:30; nine miles below was Alexandria which we passed at 6 a. m., arriving at Washington at the foot of 7th street at o'clock a. m.
 We had learned our mission while on board the boat, chat General Early had designs on Washington and we could hear the musketry at Fort Stevens, the north gate to the city, and we arrived none too soon. We unloaded from the boat and started at once up 7th street The excitement was intense in the city We were very welcome visitors. Hun dred day men and clerks from the de partments were armed with muskets and were rushing past us to help "hold the fort" They too were much excited the 9th Corps, dusty and grim as they were, and as cool as though on parade, moved forward with that steady cadence that they were accustomed to We could hear such ejaculations as "They look as though they had seen service. "I'l bet they will hike when those fel- lows get up there."
 The boys were continually leaving the ranks for such viands and nicknacks as could be found. and some found drinks as we'll as eatables. These, you know, were luxuries to the boys from the front.
 We moved on steadily up hill, for it was upgrade to near Fort Stevens. We could now plainly hear the volleys and soon we began to meet those suddenly improvised soldiers, coming back as rapidly as they went up.

PUPILS FILL IN MAPS.
Latest Method of Teaching Geogra-
ply in the Schools.

The latest innovation in the local
public school system-not a folly" or
fad the school officials contend :
consist of outline maps Of the United
States and Of the world, minus the
names Of cities. mountains or rivers.
and uncolored. They are designed for
the use OF pupils in the four highest
grades OF the graded schools.
The maps will be distributed to the
pupils, who are to put In the names or
rivers, cities, etc, and color them. This
is in accordance with the policy
followed in the public schools Of Wash
ington to teach through several ave-
the study of children have shown. de-
clare the local instructors, that the
more ways in which a child learns a
lesson the more apt he is to remember
it, For example, if he learns that the
capital OF the United States Is Wash
ington only through hearing 1t told
him he is not as apt to remember it
who has read 1t in a history, and has
seen 1t so designated in his geography.
Yet not one Of these methods. it Is
stated, is as impressive as the writing
Of such knowledge; hence the introduc-
ton Of the maps.
The maps would have been intro
duced some time ago. 1t is explained.
except for the expense incurred. The
only ones available had been copy
righted and could not be bought for
less than twenty dollars a thousand.
Recently, however, the local educators
decided on a cheaper method. They
had their own maps drawn, and from
this they were able to have prints
made at $1.85 per thousand.

Benefits by Employers Act.

Being an employe, Justice Anderson
holds Robinson was entitled to the pro-
lection of the employees liability act, and
declares null and void the contract made
before the passage of the act by the
porter with the Pullman company ex-
oneratinG any railroad company over
whose lines he might be carried from
liability in case of accident resulting from
the negligence of another employee Of the
railroad, as falling under the prohibition
of section ) of the employees act.
Under the common law, the court says,
the contract of release would be valid,
but in his opinion, under section OF
the liability act, a common carrier by
railroad while engaged in interstate COM
merce is made liable in damages to any
person suffering injury while he Is en-
ployed by such carrier in such com
merce whenever such injury results in
whole or in part from the negligence
of the officers, agents or employees OF
such carrier.
1t was evidently the purpose of Con-
gress to thus provide, suggests Justice
Anderson, against any attempted evasion
Of liability under the act by the carrier
through any existing or subsequent con-
tract, rule. regulation or device that
might be invoked for that purpose. The
statute in effect declares or establishes
a rule Of public policy, says the court.
in respect to interstate transportation
existing contract or device as well as
none subsequent to the passage OF the
act can be invoked to defeat the absolute
right Of the person SO injured to nain-
tain a civil suit for damages against
such carrier.

Justice Anderson's Opinion.

In his opinion Justice Anderson. relying
on the Voigt case In the United States
Supreme Court, holds that If. as was
said there. an express messenger Is an
employe of a railroad company in con-
sequence of the joint business conducted
by the railroad company and the express
company, the same must certainly be
true of Pullman porter, in consequence
of the joint business conducted by the
defendant railroad company and the Pull
man company.
The court points out that the pas
sengers in the Pullman cars are the pas
sengers OF the railroad company. and
the Pullman company, under its contract,
is obliged to furnish porters for the com.
fort of defendants passengers. More
over. 1t Is pointed out, by his contract
of employment, the porter is required to
obey the rules and regulations Of the
railroad company made for the govern
ment of its employees. and the railroad
company accepts his services on these
conditions.
AS the Court of Appeals held In the
Looney case that when railroad com.
panieS used the tracks of each other
under mutual contracts between them
1.-The employees of one became the em-
ployes of the other, and all the ems
ployes became the fellow-employes of
each other" the court finds that the
porter is to be considered the employee
of the railroad company and the other
employees fthe railroad his fellow em-
plOyeS.
