GENERALS FIGHT A DUEL.
Smirnoff Is Probably Mortally
Wounded by Fock.
St. Petersburg, March 19.—General
Smirnoff was probably fatally wound-
ed by General Fock in a duel here
Wednesday morning.
The men met at the riding school of
the chevalier guard regiment and
fought with pistols, Standing close to
each other when the 'shots were fired.
The duel was caused by memorandum
written by General Smirno/f on the
siege of Port Arthur, in which he
questioned the courage of General
Fock. The latter considered his honor
and reputation involved and challeng-
ed the author of the document.
General Smirnoff was acting com-
mandant of Port Arthur fortress dur-
ing the siege and at the time of its
surrender to the Japanese. After his
return to Russia he prepared a secret
report of his defense of Port Arthur
on which basis Lieutenant General
Stoessel, Lieutenant General Fock and
Major General Reiss were accused of
cowardice and incapacity, and Gen-
eral Fock, according to the indictment,
displayed thorough incapacity and
want of judgment. The outcome of
the trial was4 the sentencing to death
of General Stoessel, which finding was
commuted to ten years’ imprisonment,
while General Fock was ordered to be
reprimanded for a disciplinary offense.
General Smirnoff was also on trial be-
fore the courtmartial, charged with
having failed to remove General Fock
from his command, as though he sus-4
pected an agreement between Gen-
erals Stoessel and Fock to surrender
the fortress. He was acquitted on this
charge.
The riding school was placed at the
disposal of the combatants by the the
commander qt the regiment and the
duel occurred with the full knowledge
and approbation of the military au-
thorities. it was witnessed by several
officers of high rank, and it is even
said women Were present.
Shortly before 10 o’clock Generals
Fock and Smirnoff appeared at the
riding school. Without saluting they
topk the places assigned by their
seconds. The distance between the
two combatants was twenty paces and
the duelists were instructed to open
fire at the word of command, and con-
tinue until one or the other was killed.
At General Fock's fourth shot, General
Smirnoff groaned and sank forward.
He had been wounded in the abdomen
above the right hip. He was carried
in a litter to. the military hospital,
where doctors employed Roentgen
rays to locate the bullet.
This duel Will be followed-by an-
other between General Fock and Gen-
eral Gorbatoffsky, commander of the
western front at Port Arthur, who was
severely criticised by General Fpck
during the courtmartial proceedings.

Alla Told Woman That Sho Would
Hear of a Shocking Murder.
Denver, 'March 18.—To an Italian
woman at Paterson, N. J., says the
News, Giuseppe Alia, who murdered
Father Leo Heinrichs at the altar*of
St. Elizabeth’s Catholic church of this
city, whispered a Black Hand proph-
ecy on the eve of his departure for the
west, “Within six months you will
hear of a murder that wijl shock the
world,” said he. When over the wires
came the news of the assassination at
Denver, the woman, stricken with ter-
ror, repeated the words of. Alta.
Father Eusebius, while at Paterson,
whither he journeyed with the dead
priest, was informed of the interview
which Alia had with the woman and
caused inquiries to be made. He has
returned to Denver with the news that
may put the police on the track of a
blood-thirsty band of the anti-clericals.
Father Eusebius learned that Father
Leo informed eertain priests at Chi-
cago some time ago that he received
threatening letters. The Writers de-
clared they would kill him because of
his denunciation of anarchy. A search
is now being made among the effects
of Father Leo for these letters.
Hart Wins on Foul.
Hot Springs, March 19.—Before a
large St. Patrick’s day crowd Marvin
Hart of Louisville was awarded the
decision in the fourth round over
John Willie of Chicago on a foul.
Immediately following & clinch, and
as Hart was stepping back, unprotect-
ed, Willie swung a right h^rd to the
ear, sending Hart sprawling. Hart
was unable to respond, and his ear
may be seriously injured, “Doc” Hot-
tum of Memphis awarded the decision.

Graves Plower Bedecked.
Natchez, Miss., March 19.—Five of
the' victims of Saturday’s catastrophe
at the Natchez, Drug company’s build-
ing were buried Tuesday. Every flow-
er garden in the city was shorn to dec-
orate the graves. Every place of busi-
ness in the city closed from 2 to 3
o’clock as a mark of respect to the
death
proving i-ris Motto.
“Well, sir,” exclaimed the millionaire,
“what do you want this morning?”
“I’ve come again to ask for your
daughter,” said the poor but ambitious
young man.
“Haven’t I told you six times over
on as many different days that it is
out of the question? What do you
mean by bothering me in .this way?
You are making a nuisance of your-
self!”
“If I seem to be more persistent than
circumstance^ warrant, I must insist
that you, sir, are to blame.”
“Me!” shouted the indignant old man.
“I don’t understand you.” "
“There,” said the man who loved his
daughter as he pointed to a motto over
the banker’s desk, “is my excuse for
coming here day after day, ‘If at first
you don’t succeed, try, try, try again.'’
Do you believe in that sentiment, or
have you put It up there simply to de-
ceive people?”
After he had scratched his head
awhile the mean old plutocrat said:
“Yes, I believe in that. I haven’t
succeeded yet in making you under-
stand that my daughter shall not be-
come the wife of a fool, but I am going
to keep on trying till l^do! Good morn-
ing!” :f»
And that time hey did it.—Strand
Magazine.
What the Cat Had.
The teacher of the Sunday school
class- was telling the little boys about
temptation and showing how it some-
times came in the most attractive form.
She used as an illustration the paw of
a cat
“Now,” said she, “you have all seen
the paw of a cat It Is as soft as vel-
vet, Isn’t It?”
“Yessum,” from the class. .
“And you have seen the paw of< a
dog?”
“Yessum.” ‘
“Well, although the cat’s paw seems
like velvet, there Is nevertheless con-
cealed in it something that hurts. What
Is it?”
No answer.
“The dog. bites,” said the teacher,
“when he is in anger. But what does
the cat do?” 4
“Scratches,” said a boy.
“Correct,” said the teacher, nodding
her head approvingly. . “Now, what has
the cat got that the dog hasn’t?”
“Whiskers!” said a boy on the back
seat.—Home Magazine.
Hears Death Sentence Aruged.
Jackson, Miss., March 19.—John
Brock, nineteen years of age, heard
his onwn death senteice argued before
tne supreme court, having been grant-
ed permission J>y the chief Justice to
hear the arguments. He was convict-
ed of murder intLamar county several
months ago.
Bibis Blunders.
Some curious errors have crept into
the Bible at various times, giving
names to the edition^ containing them.
Here are some instances: The “Un-
righteous” Bible, from the misprint
“the ‘unrighteous’ shall Inherit the
'kingdom; the “Placemakers”’ Bible,
“blessed are' the placemakers’ ” (peace-
makers); the “Printer's’ ” Bible, “the
‘printers’ (for princes) have persecuted
me;’* the “Treacle” ffcible, “Is there no
‘treacle’ (balm) In Gilead?” the “Vin-
egar” Bible, “the parable of the ♦vine-
gar'” '(vineyard); the “Dug” Bible,
“thou shalt hot be afraid of ‘bugs’
(bogies) by night;” the “Breeches” Bi-
ble, “they sewed fig lekves together
and made themselves ‘breeches;**” the
“Idle” Bible, “woe to the Idle’ ” (Idol),
and finally the “Wooden Leg” Testa-
ment, so called from the frontispiece
depicting Satan limping with a wooden
leg.
Just a Fish Story.
We cannot refrain from recording
the most carious capture of a fish that
has come to oar notice. The circum-
stance was retailed many years ago by
Mr. Heathcote, one of the great au-
thorities on the fens. A Mr. Richard-
son . of Peterborough Jvas skating on
the dikes when the ice was very dear,
and he noticed a large pike swimming
in front of him. The fish was terrified
by the apparition and swam in front of
the skater until It stopped from sheer
exhaustion. The skater broke the ice
and took out the fish with his hand,
which proved to be A pike weighing
twelve pounds. It Is a story difficult
everi for a fisherman or a local histo-
rian to cap.—London Outlook.
Not-Di*tprbed.
Nassau William Senior, the English
political economist, was a frequent
guest of Lord Lansdowne at Lans-
downe House and on one occasion was
busily writing, quite abstracted as
usual, in a room full of company when
Tom Moore was singing. The scratch
of his pen was not an agreeable ac-
companiment, and at last one of the
company asked very politely, “You are
not fond of music, Mr. Senior?” “No,”
he replied, “but it does not disturb
me in the least Pray go on.”

Dallas county, [subject to the
Democratic primaries. Mr.Erwin
has resided in this county for
twenty-years, and is well known
over the county^having’ served
one term as Treasurer of Dallas

Court of the county reduced the
commissions from $2,000 to a

To this action of the court, he

trenchment in county affairs.
He did not offer for re-election,
but ran for county clerk. He

make the race, but was defeated
by the present popular clerk.
Hence the compensation having
