O 0 O 0O0000000O000000000O000000 New York, Nov. 27.—The rumor Is that Enrico Caruso and Alessandro Bond, his rival, are arranging to fight a duel to "see death." The delude were told eolemnly to all the newspaper men by men illegulsed ns press agents, who enjoined secrecy on every reporter they waylaid. Whether the weapons are tn ha pistols or cigarettes Is not yet known. "IT l%THE FATE OF THE ARTIST.” Bond, leading tenor m Oscar Hammersteln's new grand opera, has been dragged In by the story of his alleged abduction of a wealthy girl from Florence, Italy, some time ago. He walls that the charge has been trumped up by the friends of Caruso to turn the tide of public attention upon him. He admits that ths girl fell In love with him, but asks: "What was 1 to do?” "It Is the fate of the artist who wins fame," he explains. Bond produces his wife and two children to prove hla purity. "Admitting ths worst," he said, "evert say I did elope with the girl, or she with me, then t would not be guilty of an act as beastly as that attrib uted to Caruso. It was not a case for the police. It Is nothing that would affect my social standing In America. I am convinced." . BONCI GIVEN OVATION BY THE ITALIANS. When Bond returned from Swltxerland, where he and the girl had .spent a month In the same town, he was given a great ovation. The approval of the Italian public, he says, should convince America that he was not to pe blamed. Apparently he has great confidence In the breadth of public opin ion In America. • - , The trlenda ot Camao are too busy with the monkey house episode to give much attention to anything else, but they smile knowingly nnd sny: ’ "At least Caruso Is charged with nothing so black as that.” The case of J.
