New Orleans during the early part of the nineteenth century was gay city of foreign type. It was min iature Paris. The people, mostly of French extraction, were ready to dance or fight with equal zest. They were all high strung and the slightest nro- vocation was sufficient to send two men off to a wood on the outskirts of the city. where they settled the matter with weapons.
 There came at this time from France an old gentleman, Francois Desoix, and his daughter Antoinette. Wheeler or mo- she having been born not long after the ill fated queen of France lost her head. Antoinette's father, who was a stanch royalist, gave her the name in honor of the sovereign he adorad I cannot say. Nevertheless, this story indicates that there was malign in- fuence hanging over Anto:nette De soiX.
 It was generally understood that De soiX dropped a title on leaving France and that he was an emigre-one of those royalists who fed at the time of the revolution to save their heads. His wife had died abroad, and his daughter was his only consolation. She had been born and lived in the south of France, and her nature partook of the climate Later she and her father had lived in Paris.
 In those days certain functions were in vogue in American cities that have long ago passed out Sorees were gv- en by the proprietors of hotels and were attended by the elite. At one of these which took place at the St. Charles hotel Antoinette DesoiX, who was always attended by her venerable father. was the belle Of the evening. A trife under the medium height, slen- der of figure, pronounced brunette, she was rather a petite than a grand

beauty. Her principal power lay in her eyes, into which she could throw almost any kind of expression.
 Three young men were her principal attendants at the St. Charles ball.
 Edouard Duricr, Antoine Marcel and Paul Chambers. The first two were
 French, as their names indicate. The third was native of Virginia. Durier enjoyed the reputation-at that time an enviable one-of having killed more men under the code duello than any man in Louisiana. No one knew which of these attend. ants upon Antoinette DesoiX was fa-
 vOred by her. The men at least were ignorant, but the women who observed
 her said that Chambers was the favor | ite. Nevertheless, at this ball she chose | to bestow her smiles or Antoine Mar | eel. Chambers, who was very much
 in love with her, found it difficult to 1 cOnfine his expressions of discomfort to
 her, showing considerable antagonism to his rival While Marcel was waltz ing with Antoinette, Chambers, who | was crossing the ballroom, unintention- ally got in the couples way. Marcel,
 who took the matter as an affront,
 bumped against him. As soon as the
 dance was over Chambers sent Marcel a challenge.
 It would seem to us in this less quar- relsome age that collision in ball
 room was a very senseless cause Tor two men to try to shoot or stab each other The episode was not the real cause; it was rivalry for the favor of woman-a woman who knew well which of the men she preferred, but
 would not make it known. The trou. ble having started was destined to be
 come more complicated.
 The pumping between Marcel and ing Mile. Desoix was perfectly aware of what had taken place and the re- suits of the pumping. It happened that for the next dance she was engag- I'd to Edouard Durier. While sailing over tho floor with him she saw Mar eel looking at her. Raising her eyes to Durier she threw into them one of those expressions she could call up at
 will, this time indicating adoration Marcel chose a partner and, spinning on the floor with her, crossed the path of Duricr and Mile. Desox, with the result of another bump. Durier con sidered it an accident, which it really was, and did not notice +,

BIG STRIKE
POSSIBILITY
Employees Of Illinois Central in
Conference Today
nine UNIONS INVOLVED
CRISIS BROUGHT ABOUT BY Ac-
TON OF PRESIDENT MARKHAM
OF THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL IN
REFUSING TO GRANT AN AUD
IENcE TO REPRESENTATIVES.

Chicago, Ill, Sept. 6.-Representa-
tives Of nine international unions OF
Illinois Central employees went into
conference shortly after 10:30 o'clock
this morning. The crafts participating
In the meeting were machinists, boil
ermakers, helpers, carmen, blacksmiths
and helpers, steamfitters, painters,
sheet metal workers, the federal union
or miscellaneous workers and railway
clerks.
Secretary w. F. Kramer, of the In
ternational Blacksmiths & Helpers un-
Ion received an important telegram
from the officers Of the international
unions OF the Hartman lines, in ses-
sion In San Francisco, which was said to
sanction strike If the Chicago con-
ference decided to order a waIkout OF
shopmen on the Illinois Central.
He declined to discuss the contents
OF the telegram but admitted that it
contained important information.
Question OF whether strike will be
called or whether another effort will
be made to adjust conditions between
the employees and the railroad is to be
settled at the conference.
The apparent crisis was brought
about by communication sent last
night to W. r.. Kramer. secretary of
the Blacksmiths g. Helpers union, by
Pres. G. II. Markham Of the road, re-
fusing to grant an audience to the fed
Grafton representatives. President
Markham also made 1t plain that he
would not recognize the federation.
