t British Royal Pipi
In talking of the English royal house-
holds one often hears of “royal pages,”
who must not he confounded with the
so-called “pages of honor.” The lat¬
ter arc boys of gentle birth, ranging in
age from twelve to seventeen, who re¬
ceive a salary of SI,200 a year, and
bear the trains of royalty on state oc¬
casions. Moreover, by virtue of prece¬
dent and tradition, they receive a nom¬
ination to the military college nt Sand¬
hurst, and if they can pass the exami¬
nation there, a commission in the army
on completing their term of service nt
court. The pages of the ordinary class
ar<> grown men, and merely a super¬
ior kind of footman. Thus it is the
pages who do the waiting at the royal
tables, to footmen conveying the dishes
to them from the kitchen. The foot-
men likewise wait at the table of the
gentlemen and ladies of the royal
household. The footmen wear scarlet
coats and vests, blue plush breeches,
white silk stockings and low shoes,
while the pages wear coats of a dark
navy blue, with gilt buttons, black
velvet breeches, white silk stockings
and gold garters. I may add, says u
Ron don correspondent, that at Marl-
borough House over eighty indoor r,i r
daughters vant* nre employed, the and until the two
of prince and prineequ
were still unmarried married they, ns Victoria, well ns their
sister, were
allowed the services of two footmen
each to attend exclusively to their si r-
vice, one man being always on duty
and the other off. In addition to tin e
many indoor servants, there are fifty
men more employed at tho Marlbor-
borough House stables.
Power of Lightning Flash.
A recent thunderstorm in the neigh¬
borhood of Berlin afforded an oppor¬
tunity of measuring precisely the pow¬
er of a flash of lightning. The ex¬
perimenters took us their basis the
amount of iron fused by a flush of
lightning, ami according to tho state¬
ment which they have published tho
power of a flash of lightning is on an
average equivalent to 7,0 Ml horse¬
power.

A FAMOUS BAT CATCHER.
Old Matterhorn Makes a Living in Parli
Ono by Hunting Queer Animal*.
of the qnearest characters In
Paris Is Matterhorn, the famous toad-
hunter and hat catcher. His favorite
hunting ground Is the groat Arcuoull
aqueduct, which brings the waters of
the Dhuys to thirsty Parisians. This
Is a regular place of refuge for bats,
which hang by thousands to the long
tunnel, digging their sharp claws Into
its rough JuHlngs and looking for all
the world In the shadows like Jeetoona
of Cf/iiwobs. Tb re the ore, In colonies
of forty or fifty, cold a.n<l still, waiting

being drowsy with sleep, and In a night
Matterhorn often captures a hundred
of them or moTO, and he sells the tots
to people who eat them, some from nec-
osslty, some from choice, for thoee who
have tried It avow that the flesh of the
bat Is delirious. It Is red and some-
what fat, and, fried and st-Tved with
chopped parsley, b la wild to equal the
finest v'enlst-fl In flavor.
“Why ahould one not oat bn's?" ex-
claimed Matterhorn, In reply to my
question. "’I he little animal Is m rtip-
ulously cloau and feeds on nothing bat
Insects, which Is mora than can b«

W |th a rellah. I tell you that the bat

t houyrlt the number of pet/ple who real-

"Then I suppose you sell your bats
mostly to thooe who are very pocr?”
"You, mostly; although there are
gourmets who have got beyond pop¬
ular preudlce and pay me a good price
per dozen.”
"But you don't livo entirely by catch-

”0, no; I catch all kinds of animal*
that other people do not want. You'd

rabbits, for Instance."
“What- wild rabbits?”
"Why, certainly; they burrow all
over the rwmeterfea. Only last year

All l’aris is talking of the duel with
swords fought Wednesday afternoon
between twro members of the old no¬
bility, Count Robert do Montesquion
and Henri de Regnier, at Neuilly le
Vallois, growing out of a remark made
by Mile. Heredia, the sister-in-law of
Regnicr, a few days ago in the salon of
the Baroness Alphonse de Rothschild.
Mile. Heredia, who was with her
sister, Mine. Regnier, turned the con-
versat ion on a handsome eane carried
by the Count de Montesquion, who
stood near her, and remarked that it
was just the sort of cane that might
have been used at the charity bazaar
fire to beat the ladies.
The count, who overheard the re¬
mark, interpreted it as an insinuation
of cowardly conduct on his part to¬
ward women at the fire. Immediately
withdrawing from the .salon, he sent
a challenge to M. de Regnier, who was
escorting his wife and sister-in-law,
and before midnight seconds were ap¬
pointed, and the preliminaries of tho
duel arranged.
On consideration, however, the sec¬
onds of Do Regnier submitted to the
count’s seconds that the remark was
one of mere banter, upon which the
count ongbt not to plnce so serious a
construction, and urged that the mat-
ter be arbitrated.
The Count Montesquion thereupon
twitted Do Regnier with being afraid
to meet him and branded him in the
newspapers as a coward. This rcsult-
ed in a challenge from De Regnier
after three days spent in the discus¬
sion of conflicting statements as to
the precise words nsed-hy Mile Her¬
edia and Mono, do Regnier, who had
echoed her sister’s remarks. The
Count de Montesquion immediately
accepted this challenge.
Tho duel was fought in the presence
of Georges Hugo nml the artists M.
Forain and Caran d’Ache. Tho com¬
batants attacked each other with great
vigor and for ten minute fought to
kill. Tn the third encounter the
Count do Montesquion was wounded
in the hack of the right band. Tho
surgeons then interfered and refused
to allow the combat to proceed. The
com but ants on withdrawing declined
even to bow to each other.
The affair lias made a tremendous
sensation, as it may prove the first in¬
cident to a boycott socially of a number
of men who are peraistenly accused in
certain quarters of having displayed
the rankest cowardice at the charity
bazaar fire.
('ll A RUED WITH HURULARY.
Fromluent (’Hill'll, of Carrollton, Un.,
1 ’law,! C0,1 TV Arveat.
The Carrollton, (la., community line
been thrown into a fever of exoitement
by the arrest of tho Grant men, some
of the most prominent people in the
section, on the charge of murder and
burglary. They have been locked in
jail and the evidmee seems to be
against them.
Several daring burglaries have been
committed of late in the neighborhood
nnd tho authorities had been unable
to locate tho guilty parties. It now
appears, however, Hint the Grants are
responsible for the crimes, nnd that
they murdered a negro who happened
to know of their dastardly deeds, for
fear he would betray them.

Coyer nor Ellerbe,
A petition addressed to Governor
Ellerbe, of South Carolina, and sign¬
ed hv reformers, including a number
of office holders, was received by his
excellency Wednesday. It asks for an
investigation of Senator Tillman, as
follows;
“Many of the newspapers through¬
out the state nre charging Senator
Tillman with receiving dispensary re¬
bates, and Senator Tillman having in
his recent letter made a formal demand
upon your excellency for nu immediate
investigation, now we, as reformers,
call upon you to order an immediate
investigation. If, after a fair and im¬
partial trial, Mr. Tillman is found
guilty, let him bear the odium and
shame that will necessarily follow.
“If, on the other hand, he is ad¬
judged innocent, let the same news¬
papers who have made the charges do
Senator Tillman justice by correcting
their charges ami proclaiming him an
innocent man persecuted.”

DISCREPANCY IN TAX RETURNS.
Georgia’* InvtMttigaiing Commlttfo After
Corporations nnd Inrlividiinln.
The Georgia legislative investiga¬
tion committee has struck a hot trail,
and if its work is pushed along the
line now followed, a great deal of
money is likely to be saved to the
state.
The committee is looking into tax
returns, and finds a very large appar¬
ent discrepancy between the returns
and tho known value of property.
This is true both ns to corporations
and individuals. Banks and other
corporations have apparently made
returns far under the real value of
their property, nnd in some counties
the returns of land are thousands of
dollars less than in other years.

TROOFS AT HUNTSVILLE.
Governor Makes An Effort to Save Pris¬

from Hlieriff Fulham, of Huntsville,
Ala., \ stating that a mob of 200 men
. hiul captured a freight - . t . train , . at . Deca-

Huntsville to lynch the two Decatur
negroes, T Lewis • -xir Moore and i Claude /-Ti i

The governor wired Sheriff Fnlhlim
to protect the prisoners at all hazards,
and ordered troops sent oil at once.
Tlio Madison county jail, in which
the negroes are confined, is almost
impregnable , ,, except . the immediate . ,
