A MAST R OF FENCE.
Jean Louis Meets and Kills 13 Succes
sive Opponents in an Hour.
I'coni the OUling for Octol>er.
To g. v j .lidea of what u brave man can
do if Ur knows fencing thoroughly, and
but keeps cool ami collected in danger, we
will relate au historical duel. So extraor
dinary is this combat, that it would l>o hold
a romance, bad it not been witnessed by a
■whole army. The hero is Jean Louis, one
of the great masters of the beginning of this
century, and the duel happened in Madrid,
in IPS lot He was the Master-at-arms of the
Thirty-second Regiment of French Infantry;
the First Regiment, composed entirely of
Italians, formed part of the same bri
gade.
Regimental esprit dr corps and rivalries
of nationality caused constant quarrels,
when swords were often whipped cut or bul
lets exchanged. After a small battle had
occurred in the streets of Madrid, in which
over '3OO French and Italian soldiers had
taken part, the officers of the two regiments
decided to give such breaches of order a
great blow, aud to re-establish discipline
thev decreed that the Master-at-anns of the
two regiments should take up the quarrel
and tight it out.
Imagine a whole army in battle array
on one of the large plains that surround
Madrid. In the centre a large ring is left
open for the contestants! This spot is
raised above the plain, so that not one of
the spectators will miss one phase of the con
test.
The drum is heard; two men naked to the
waist, step in the ring. The first is tail
and strong, his black eyes rove disdainfully
upon the gaping crowd; he is Giacomo Fer
rari, the celebrated Italian. The second,
tall, also handsome, and with muscles like
steel, stands modestly awaiting the word
of command, his name is Jean Louis. The
witnesses assume their places on either side
of their principals, A death-like silence
ensues.
•‘On guard!”
The two masters cross swords; Giacomo
Ferrari lunges repeatedly at Jean Louis;
but in vain, bis every thrust is met by a
parry. He makes up bis mind to bide his
chance, and caresses and teases his oppon
ent’s blade. Jean Louis, calm and watch
ful, lends himself to the play, when, quicker
than lightning the Italian jumps aside with
a loud yell, and makes a terrible lunge at
Jean Louis —a Florentine trick, often suc
cessful. But, with extraordinary rapidity,
Jean Lous has parried, and risposts quickly
in the shoulder.
“It is nothing,” cries Giacomo, s mere
scratch," and they again fi ll on guard; al
most directly he is hit in the breast. This
time, the sword of Jean Louis, who is now
attacking, penetrates deeply. Giacdmo’s
face becomes livid, his sword drops from his
hand and he falls heavily on the turf. He
is dead.
Jean Louis is already in position: he wipes
his reeking blade, then, with the point of his
sword in tne g ound, he calmly awaits the
next man.
The best fencer of the First Regiment has
just been carried away a corpse; but the day
is not yet over. Fourteen adversaries are
there impatient to measure swords with the
conqueror, burning to avenge the master
they had deemed invincible.
Jean Louis has hardly had two minutes’
rest. He is ready. A uew adversary stands
before him A sinister click of swords is
heard; a lunge, a parry, a rispost, and then
a cry, a sigli, and all is over. A second body
is Pefore Jean Louis.
A third adversary advances. They wanted
Jean Louis to rest.
“I am not tired,” he answers with a
smile.
The signal is given. The Italian has
closely watched Jean Louis’ play, and thinks
he has guessed the secret of his victories.
He multiplies his feints and tricks, then, all
at once, bounding Uke a tiger on his prey,
he gives his opponent a terrible thrust in
the lower line.* But Jean Louis’ sword has
parried, and is now deep within his oppon
ent’s breast.
What need to relate any more; ten new
adversaries followed him, and the ten fell
before Jean Louis amid the excited yells and
roars of an army.
At the request of the Thirty-second Regi
ment’s Colonel, who thought the lesson suf
ficient, Jean Louis, after much pressing,
consented to stop the combat, and he shook
hands with the two survivors, applauded by
10,000 men.
From that day fights ceased between
French and Italian soldiers.
This wonderful and gigantic combat might
be held a fable were not all the facts above
stated still found in the archives of the
Ministry of War.
MEN FOR HOUSEWORK.
A Dream of What May Come to Pass
in the Near uture.
From the Boston Transcript.
There is a great thought, a brilliant indus
trial suggestion, in the oase of Frank King,
otherwise Kitty Russell, who has been
forced, according the young person’s own
story, to adopt a woman’s garb and go out
to work as a housemaid aud waitress in or
der to earn a living. Mr. Frank King says
that he had money enough to live on, with
out work, up to a year ago. Then circum
stances compelled him to go to work. He
could find no work to do as a man, but he
observed that there was always an unsup
plied demand for female domestic help. If
the work would not come to Frank King,
Frank King would go to the work; and his
face was smooth and his stature moderate,
and as short hair is fashionable, he had no
difficulty in disguising himself in woman’s
clothes and getting a situation. The scru
tiny of likely-looking servant girls, as
everybody knows, is not keen. The advent
of any kiud of a girl at all is, in certain un
lucky households, especially suburban house
holds, a matter for exceeding rejoicing.
Kitty Russell says, however, that she was
compelled to fly from one place to another
to avoid detection; and, at last, having lo
cated with a family in Chelsea, where she
■was regarded as a perfect jewel, she was in
discreet enough yesterday, having a fond
ness for the military, to go out and and see
the parade of the First Regiment, and was
pounced upon and arrested by a sharp-eyed
polioeman, who detected her disguise. So
that here, for a time at least, Kitty Rus
sell’s promising industrial career was
brought to a close.
The Listener says that there is a sugges
tion in this affair. It ought to be plain
enough what it is. There are thousands of
men, we are told, who cannot find work to
do. There are many more thousands of
women who will not do housework. Now
of these thousands of men there are a ma
jority, beyond a doubt, who might make
themselves quite handy at housework, or at
least a good deal handier than nothing at
all. Let these poor wretches without em
ployment be “driven to petticoats,” as Mr.
Frank King was. To petticoats, that is, if
it is regarded as necessary to keep up a fic
tion of femininity; but in order to spare the
stalwart maids-of-all-w r ork such episodes as
Kitty Russell was subjected to when she
wont out to see the soldiers, aud to keep
within the law, the petticoat might be only
a mere perfunctory, rudimentary one—a
sort of Albanian fuatanella, neatly disposed
over Michael's neat but ample pantaloons.
IVrhaps a function and legitimate oppor
tunity for the divided skirt mav be found at
last in this suggested industrial movement.
The sex of the new servants might be still
further disguised a little, without being
denied, by udding a feminine termination
to tlie well-known masculino name.
One can imagine an interesting domestic
•cene under this new regime.
“Miehaella!” the mistress calls. “Mioha
ellal”
Enter Miehaella, tho second girl, in a neat
suit consisting of a calico jacket, short
starched nainsook petticoat, and coarse
checked trousers over cowhide boots. Her
bopts make something of a clatter as she
comes in over the hard-wood floor of the
hall, and her mistress’ eyebrows knit a
little.
“Miehaella,” she says, “I must caution
You aguiu to walk a little more softly.
hat Your moustache still in curl papers
at this hour! And please do not come too
near, for I am afraid I shall discover that
you have been smoking agaiu and I do not
want to adminster too many reprimands at
once. ”
“ Yis’m. (With a grin). Fvvhat is it ye
want, mum?’*
"Go down and tell Patricia that I want to
see her.”
Exit Miohaella. tip-toeing painfully along
the floor, and exhibiting a vanishing per
spective of broad boot heels.
Enter presently Patricia in a costume
somewhat resembling Michaella’s, with the
difference that the petticoat is of gingham
in a large pattern and the trail of the
kitchen is over it all. Patricia’s foot
fall is even more emphatic that Micha
ella’s, and its measured “calump, ealump,”
crescendo, gives abundant notice of her
coining.
“Perhaps, Patricia,” says the mistress, as
the cook scrapes a rough chin and makes an
exceedingly awkward courtesy, “these
frayed pantaloons may be good enough for
rough work around the kitchen and shed in
the morning, but I wouldn’t wear them all
day. Have you begun the preparations for
dinner, Patricia'”
“Yis, mum. I have put the bread to bile,
mum, and t he bafeshteak to bake ”
Fury and explosion on the part of the
mistress. Such contretemps, it is fair to
assume, would be but infrequent under the
new industrial regime. Even now they
arise occasionally in the best-regulated dom
estic interiors. The idea is presented merely
for what it is worth.
SPYING OUT SMUGGLED GOODS.
Work of the Women Inspectors of the
New York Custom House.
From the Few York World.
The dock of any of the European steamship
companies is an excellent place to see for
yourself whether women inspectors earn
their money. A woman writer for the
World went over to New Jersey with two of
the women inspectors recently. They were
very companionable women, receiving the
stranger pleasantly, and one, a fourteen
year office-holder, giving all possible infor
mation as to the rules, regulations, and ex
periences. Amid the bustle and excitement
that attend the landing of a shipload of
passengers the women inspectors stand on
one side of a portable desk, the men on the
other, and as the first man or woman
comes up with his slip declaring his bag
gage an inspector is assigned. Imagine, for
instance, the first passenger whose trunks
are opened. It is a trying time. The woman
inspector begins on the first opened trunk
by making a dive at the big canvas catchall
made to hang up in the state room. She
empties all the pockets, feels of the sponge,
shakes the tooth-powder vigorously, gives
the comb and brush a crack and drops them
so the next turn will slide the things all out
—among the clothes. The next thing is a
warm shawl carefully pinned up in a towel.
“That towel has never been washed?” Out
come the pins aud into the inspector’s mouth
they go. The shawl is passed, but the 10c.
towel is strung over the back of the trunk.
There’s a basket down at the bottom
of the trunk. Out it comes, but it con
tains nothing but the second best bonnet.
Shake the shoes! Rattle the modest little
common-sense slippers! Open the puff-box!
Smell the cologne! Unfold the prim little
home-made undergarments, flaunt their
hems and tucks to the breezes. They prob
ably need airing, anyway. Scratch the
corners, tap the bottom of the trunk, and
that one is done. Then another trunk is
gone through in the same manner. Every
little poverty of possession will be displayed
and its owner will blush and beg and ex
postulate all through, but (lie stem fingers
of justice will get through that trank des
pite it all and will fetch out at the end six
cheap towels and a few little childish trink
ets not worth appraising.
The last thing out, the tired inspector
straightens her aching back, mops her face
with her handkerchief, gratefully puts her
chalk-mark on the trunk and hampers, gives
back her mouthful of pins, and goes to tell
her friends that “That woman nearly drove
her crazy with her talk. If they would only
unlock their trunks and h Id their tongues,
we wouldn’t get nervous, and they would be
likely to come out a good deal better.” So
says this experienced woman, who, after
all, has been only doing her duty. The en
tire performance, seen once from beginning
to end, gives you a complete idea of the
value of these women inspectors, their qnick
eyes and quick wits. And surely no man
could detect the dutiable from the unduti
able goods in a woman’s trunk as these
lively, energetic women do.
And the hard-heartedness they must indi
cate against tender, coaxing damsels is real
ly touching. Here are two fair Boston
flowers. One is short and the other is tall,
and both are spectacled and wary. Both
are like ice in the cool way they meet
the vigilance committee. “We have a few
trifles/’ they say, “but they are quite our
own,” and they therewith put their arms
about the grim inspector’s plump waist.
“I’m sure,” says one, laying her head affec
tionately on the shoulders of the law, “you
never saw such badly packed trunks, but,
really, I was so disgusted with my old duds
when I had to bring them back again I just
didn't care.”
“I’m sure,” said the other, “my things
must look very common after the elegant
things you see every day,” therewith re
ligiously laying out some non-dutiable
trinkets of one kind and another. An hour
later you pass by those dames from Boston.
All the colors of the rainbow lie about them,
and they are listening meekly to the words
of the appraiser: “About SSO duty, madam,
for each of you.”
The Diamond Trade of Amsterdam.
From the London Times.
About 20,000 carats of rough diamonds
reach the hands of the Amsterdam manu
facturers each week. When finished these
vary from $4 to $55 per carat, while some
stones command very much higher prices.
The capital invested in this trade is not all
Dutch, for a very large proportion of the
diamonds manipulated in Amsterdam be
long to London and Paris bouses. Berlin,
Franafort, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Rome.
Naples, Barcelona a id Madrid, as well as
Paris, London and New York, are all mar
kets for diamonds prepared in Amsterdam.
Besides Antwerp the diamond industry is
carried on extensively nowhere olse. The
trade is usually conducted on the cash sys
tem, credit being generally short. The
aggregate paid in wages to diamond work
ers in Amsterdam is about £600,000 uer an
num, and it is estimated that from 7,000 to
8,000 persons are employed in the industry,
and in the business of buying and selling
tho rough and polished stones. The wages
of the men engaged in the various opera
tions of cleaning, cutting, and polishing are
decreasing, because of the constant increase
in the number of skilled workmen and the
never-ceasing accession of apprentices.
The declared export of diamonds from
Amsterdam to the United States in 1886
amounted to £275,708; but this by no means
represents the total export, but those the
invoices of which were presented to the
Consul to be certified. A large quantity is
sent to Paris and London to be dispatched
to America, and many diamonds are also
taken on the person.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1887,
A DELINQUENT ELEPHANT.
Remarkable Punishment Inflicted at
the Palace of Mandalay.
Ftom the Primrose Magazine.
Shortly before our arrival one of tho ani
mals had greatly disgraced by re
fusing to carry a certain weight of goods
which had been piled on his hack. There is
the regulation weight, and the beasts know
to an ounce wliat they ought to carry, and
if any of the mahouts attempt to put a sur
plus amount on his or their Backs it is im
mediately shot onto the ground. The ani
mal in question hod beentduly laden with a
weight which was under the regulation
scale; but although it had been twice
weighed, as Mrs. Gamp would say. before
his own eyes, lie still refused to carry it.
This was too much for even his in
dulgent driver, so he accordingly re
ported, and just as we arrived he
was about to be tried for his extraordinary
and obstinate conduct. Several elephants
were led out into a large court yard, form
ing a kind of circle round the delinquent,
who seemed already to feel his position
acutely, for he glanced anxiously from time
to time at his mahout, who was visibly
affected, and who stood by his bead. A
karen presided over the court-martial and
read aloud the indictment against ti e
offender, the elephants which constituted
the jury apparently listening with great
attention. After the statement was finished
and the mahout examined, who, by the
way, gave his evidence with great reluc
tance. the karen decided that the
case had been distinctly proved, and
the culprit was adjudged the
punishment of twenty strokes, upon the
announcement of the verdi t the jury
marched in a most solemn manner to a dis
tant part of the yard and returned with a
switch about as large as a fair-sized scaffold
pole. In the meantime the mahout had
been addressing the offender, who was now
weeping copiously, large drops of tears fall
ing from his eyes, and occasionally a shrill
and peculiar sound issued from his capacious
throat. The executioners of the law were
at hand, and stood about twelve to fourteen
feet apart, each balancing with peculiar
nicety in his trunk the aforesaid switch.
The culprit was led up to the place, and as
he passed number one there was
a sound heard which resembled
somewhat a sharp clap of
thunder ; it was the first blow delivered by
the dread myrmidons of the law. The blow
was followed by a sharp, shrill scream,
although there was evidently an attempt on
the part of the culprit to suppress any ex
hibition of pain. This punishment con
tinued until the whole of the sentence had
been carried out. Although I felt consid
erable sympathy with the unfortunate de
linquent, I was at the same time intensely
amused with the thorough business-like air
with which these ministers of justice carried
out the sentence. There were no light blows
delivered; but, as a matter of fact, each
elephant determined to administer a heavier
blow than his neighbor, and the sly twinkle
in the eye as the blow was delivered was a
sight to see.
SHE KISS.-D THE DAINTY DUDE.
A Jolly German Woman Who Caused
a Sensation in a Street Car.
From a Few York Exchange.
She had evidently been to the market, for
she had several big bundles and a heavy
laden basket with her. She had also evi*
dently purchased other goods than groceries,
for a smile was spread all over her broad
face and her breath, whenever one was un
fortunate enough to get a whiff of it, had
a decided flavor of beer. Elderly and stout,
she managed witn difficulty to board the
transfer car going north at the Fifty-ninth
street station of the Eighth avenue road and
settle down comfortably in the centre of the
car. Four pretty girls, two of them carry
ing tennis bats, a handsome young married
woman with a baby and two young men
enter the same car. One of the young men
is a handsome, rollicking chap with a per
petual grin on his face. The other is
effeminate in appearance, is clad in a white
flannel tennis suit, partially covered by
a light overcoat and wears glasses on his
nose. The two are friends, however, and
bound for the Central Park tennis grounds
at Nmty-fourth street, as are the four
pretty girls.
The stout woman beams all over the car,
nods graciously to the pretty girls and then
breaks out with a request to the conductor
to “leef me got off on Ninety-nine strasse.”
The conductor smiles, the pretty girls smile,
and the attention of the rollicking young
man is immediately attracted. His dudish
friend is absorbed in the beanty of the tree 1
in the park. The stout woman, having
gained everybody but the dude’s attention,
asks the smiling conductor, “How much
you gif the company? Veil, I don’t blame
you. Uf I been a conductor by and by
mebbe I own me a gar too," and then breaks
into a hearty augh. The conductor’s face
reddens just a trifle and the smile fades from
his lips. The rollicking young fellow moves
up closer and enters into conversation in
German with the stout woman. He occa
sionally laughs and nods towards his dudish
friend whose attention is still fixed on the
autumn leaved trees in the park. Suddenly
the stout woman arises and, piloted by the
rollicking young man, tramps down the car.
Stopping liefore the dudish youug man, she
spreads out her arms, seizes him in a loving
embrace, and proceeds to kiss him several
times. The astonised young dtide turns
pale and struggles to release himself. The
pretty girls scream with laughter, the
handsome young married woman nearly
lets her baby fall, and the ro’licking yoon;
fellow dances a jig in his delight. “Kiss
him again,” he said. “You only kiss him
five times, and that’s bail luck. Kiss him
again for luck;”and she does with a ven
geance. Finally the dude gets away and he
jumps from the car. The rollicking young
fellow follows him, and the stout woman,
re.-umiug her seat, volunteers the informa
tion that the dude’s friends had told her in
German his friend “been sick, und kussen
kures him.”
Woman’s Capabilities.
From the Forum.
Men. from that large ego doubtless im
planted in them for useful purpoies, have a
tendency to see things solely from their own
point of view, and to judge things not as
they are, but as the world will look at them,
with reference to their individual selves.
Their sense of order, their power and in
clination to take rouble, are rarely equal to
a woman’s. Her very narrowness makes
her more conscientious and reliable in mat
ters of minute detail. A man’s horizon is
wider, his vision larger, his phj-sical and in
tellectual strength generally greater than a
woman’?; but he is, as a riue, less prudent,
less careful, les< able to throw himsseif out
of himself, aud into the interest of other
people, than a woman is. Granted a enpao e
woman, and one that has had even a tithe of
the practical education that all men have or
are supposed to have, she will do a
matter of business, say an executor
ship, secretaryship, etc., as well as any
man, or even better than most men, because
she will take more pains. Did g rls g-t
from childhood the same business training
as boys, and were it clearly understood m
all families that it is not a credit, but a dis
credit. for women to be idle, to hang help
less on the men instead of doing th ir own
work, and, if necessary, earning their own
living, I believe society would be not the
woi-se. but the better for tho change. Men
would find out tha the more they elevate
women, the greater use they get out of
them. If, inste .and of a man working him
self to death far his unmarried daughters,
and then leave them ignotuiniously depen
dent upon male relations, tie educated tuein
to independence, made them aole both to
maintain and to protect themselves, it would
save him and them a world of unhappiness.
They would cease to be either the rivals —a
very hopeless rivalry—or. the plaything
first, and then the slaves of men, and lie
come, as was originally intonded, their co
mates, equal and yet different, eacn sex
supplying the other’s deficiencies, an.!,
therefore, 8-ted to work together, not apart,
for tho good of tue world.
