LORD MlNTO’S

WELCOME, HOME

The Earl of Minto arrived at Minto

At Ilawick railway siding' the Earl and Countess were met by the Provost ami Magistrs.tcs,\\'liile at Hassen- de1uiStatio11, wliero they- ulighted, they were received by a guard of honor of the Border Rifles, under the _command of Major Haddon. Lord and Lady Minto drove from the station to the Minto village, wliieh was decorated and illuiiiin- at.1-_il. Th: horses were taken out and the carrjdigo was drawn by hand through aiine of»othcr vehicles to Minto lionsc, wliicii was lit up by a thousand fairy lanips. An illuminated aiidress, in which reference was made to Lord Minio`s work in Canada., and to the strikinir loyalty which that Uolony has shown to the Motlior Country during liisGovcrnor-Gen- oralship, was presented, and Lord Minto, in reply, saldtliat Lady Mlnto liadddis- tiiiiruished herself very much in Canada, ami had done a great work, which would always be clierlslied bythe people there.

FENEE MlSliHS A ' Ill llllllH llUlL

Pains, Jan. Il.-A news agency pub-

lishes a dc.~icription of one of t-he most ferocious duels ever kiiown in Paris which took place on Saturday. The duel, which was distinguislicd by a. display ol inconi- parable swordsmansliip. was fought bi-.~ tween M. Luscicz and George Breittuiay- cr. M. Sultzbachcr was also present and ready to engage M. Breittniaycr should the latter be victorious.

The three men are admittedly the lead-

ing amateur swordsmen of Fi-aiiuc, and the foremost writers on fencing. All have secured numerous international honors,l

but none had ever previously seriously]

handled a weapon.

The quarrel leading to the ailnir was the

outcome of a newspaper controversy. 'The conditions of the duel were very strin- gent. One was that the me`n should iight until one had been killed or confessed do-

leat. _ _

At the outset Ilreittiiiaycr receives an

ugly cut on the nose, from which hc hlcd profusely. This infuriated him and he made a. succession of terrifying' thrusts, but was further wounded in the sword arm, his n1lvcrsary`s weapon pene- trating to the bone. Directly ufl.cr\\'n.rd Broittinayer eluded his op- ponent's ,pguard and liuscitrz fi-ll with blood welling froin his riglit armpit. '.l`hc tlirust had caused a had ivound.

M. Lnscicz endeavored in vain to con- tinue thc contest and was compelled to confess himself beaten. The opponent embraced each otlier and the trio left thc ground reconciled.
