BILL AGAINST DUEL|NG
DOESN'T CHECK PRACTICE
Hot-Headed Parisians Engage
in Mortal Combat and Some
times Get Hurt.
Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
PARIS. January 26. 1911
The introduction of the Able Lemire' 8
bill against dueling has not had the least
cautionary effect on the willful hot-head-
edness of such PaIisians who prefer to
settle their petty disputes with much ad-
vertisement at the Grande Roue or the
Pare Ges Princes. The biting cold also,
which one might have thought a more
real deterrent than undigested and unas-
simulated Legislative proposals, cannot re-
press their picturesque caprice.
The sixth duel within as many days
was fought a few days ago and it was
somewhat remarkable. In the first place,
the principals We're we'll known. the one
as a caustic art critic, the other as a
modern humorist of undoubted popularity.
Dueling a Cold Sport.
Secondly. the temperature at the Pare
des Princes, tie bicycle race track so
frequented by Parisians in the summer,
was lower than any of the seconds ever
remembered. which was remarkable, for
NJ Rouzier-Dorcieres was one of them,
and he has taken part in between three
and four hundred duels. Thirdly. one OF
the principals was badly wounded.
The duel arose out OF an alteration on
the boulevards-the classic preteNt for
such meetings. NJ. Louis Vauxelles. the
critic, and NJ. Max Fischer, the CO.
author. with his brother, of many anus
ing volumes published in the last few
years. exchanged cards and appointed
seconds, and a duel with swords was
decided upon. but apparently neither of
them had anything more than speaking
acquaintance with swordplay. NJ. Vaux-
Giles was much taller than his adversary,
but he made little of the advantage of
reach, and attacked NJ. Fischer as q
farmboy might attack q young BULLOCK
if the sword were exchanged for q switch
Across and across his sword swished and
whistIed through the air with apparently
much more madness than method.
Exposed Entire Body.
NJ Fischer for his part, was more pr,I-
dent and i'm ordinary circumstances, and
with a little knowledge OF swordplay, he
might have pricked the skin of NJ. Vaux-
Giles with ease and eauanimity in one OF
the intervals between his furious on
slausiits. for at times the whole of his
body was exposed. But the duel went on
as it began for much longer than the
shiyering seconds thought interesting. NJ.
NauXelles once nearly spitted NJ. RouZier-
Dorcieres and then q minute later slashed
off the bark OF a tree nearby. But these
lessons did not persuade him to change
his tactics nor did the dangers into
which he ran. Once or twice, when at

SOUTH AFRICAN HOTEL
A REFUGE FOR WOMEN
Erected as an Adjunct to
Work of the Colonial

Foreign Correspondence OF The star.
JOHANNESBURG, January 1. 1911.
Lady Gladstone opened here III the
presence of large gathering new
women'S hotel, which has been built for
the South African Colonization Society.
a body which has done most valuable
work in promoting the immigration of
women into the Transvaal.
Seventeen hundred domestic servants
have come to the Transvaal from Great
Britain since the war through the So
cietys agency, and of these 900 are now
married and settled in the country.
Named for Cecil Rhodes.
The proposal to build this new hostel.
in substitution of the old Inadequate
premises. was initiated by Lady Selbornes
who took the most active interest in the
societys work in the Transvaal and was
mainly instrumental in securing the
funds required.
The Rhodes trustees are among the
contributors TO the building fund of the
Rhodes Hostel The building, which was
designed by Herbert Baker will form
most useful adjunct to the society's
work. 1t provides comfortable quarters
in which the new immigrants will be
received OH arrival and which they are
encouraged to regard a home whittier
they can always return.
It's Work Important.
The Colonization Society has shown
how much we'll directed private enter
prise can do to remedy the neglect Of
immigration work by the imperial and
colonial governments. Among the new
corners who find their way to the Trans
vaal unassis1ed men naturally form the
great majority. The work which the
society undertakes in selecting and as
sisting suitable woman immigrants is,
therefore. most important. and is destined
to have a eaching influence in de-
termning the character of the countrys
future population.

conclude that they are ful-fedged or as
