New York, Nov. 11.-Among the

much speculation as to what he in

Gently acquired at foreclosure. Some
years ago the financier, acting for one
of his clients made mortgage on the
property to local trust company. Re-
Gently the owners defaulted in the
payment of a second mortgage and the
property was put under the hammer
to satisfy the claim. When the sale
took place the other day, the king of
American financiers bought in the land
and buildings through a representa-
tive, paying for it a trifie over tn .
amount of the liens against it. 1t is
believed the purchase is not congenial
to him and that he will dispose of it
as soon as he can find a buyer willing
to pay him a profit for it's up-keep.
Just now Mr.. Morgan is much per-
turbed over the fact that Peter S.
Olney, referee in bankruptcy in the
case of Herman P. Tape, the Fifth
avenue millionaire, has issued a sub
ponae for him to appear as a wit
ness to testify to how he came to
back the milliner to the extent of
$1,000 capital which is not shown on
the books of the bankrupt.
Tape, in the proceedings, testified
that Mr.. Morgan had given him $1,000
and his wife had given another $4,000
to start him in the fashionable MILL

SOME CHINESE PROVERBS.

DR.. William Edward Cells Eighteen
Capitals of China" recently published
by the J. B. Lippincott Company,
presents the novel feature of page
the more or less literal translation of
great many proverbs and epigram-
matte phrases not generally known on
this side of the earth. Mr.. Cell says:
Local proverbs in themselves have
never been brought together on our
scale, and to choose from a mass of
new material which would fill three
volumes has been a difficult task. -
From the store of wisdom, philosophy
and wit thus accumulated by DR.. Cell
we make the following selections:
When you are very angry don't go
to law; when you are very hungry,
don't make verses.
Man is a small heaven.
To know q mans heart listen to his

With money Chinaman is proud
A bully does not owe debts.
Play music in front of COW.

You can crush people with the

SOLDIERS fight DUEL
Behind LOCKED DOOR
NV Assoeiatad Peossl


BALTIMORE, Nd, June 2S-Behind
locked doors and with no eye to mark
whether play was fair or foul, two
soldiers, Corp. Jas. Smith and Private
Arthur Rector, fought out a grudge
with sword bayonets in their barracks
at Fort Howard. Rector was badly
cut about the lgs and back, but Smith
escaped with a cash under the eye.
Seventeen stitches were taken In one
of the wounds in Rector's leg and
twenty-one in another. Their feud
dated from a dance of last Thanksgiv'
ing day, when they quarreled about
q woman.
Smith was in the barracks and alone
in remote room. Rector entered and
locked the door. There was no need
for speech. Both knew the time had
come for a settlement and they were
ready and eager. Smith was bred In
the mountains of Kentucky and Rec
tor was reared in North Carolina.
The first their messmates knew OF
the fight was when they heard the
sounds of the conflict in the room.
They burst in the door and found the
contestants on the floor in a deadlock,
each striving for the throat grip, which
meant victory. Both were exhausted.
