14 THE DUEL IN GERMANY How Students Slash Each Other on Slight Provocation. TEUTONIC CODE OF MORALS. ———__ Serious and Ridiculous Ducis—Insults Not Necessary to Provoke aSword Con- test—Proof of Courage Net a Settle- ment of Difticultics. ——_— Sritten for Taz Evexrse Stan. (Copyrighted) MONG the many peculiarities of Ger- man student life which call for com- ments from the vis- iting foreigner is the due! What I pur- pose in trying to give the philosophy of the duel is not so much to defend the custom, which seems not to come up to the standard of civ- ilization, as to ex- plain it, We must ck distinguish between two kinds of duels fought in German universities, One kind, which is not peculiar to students nor to Ger- mans, is acontest for life and death to settle some serious difficulty on some point of honor. ‘This is common to alknations on the Luropean continent. Even in this country such duels have not yet quite disappeared. In Europe they will not disappear as long as society thinks it beneath the dignity of a gentleman to bring certain offenses iato court or con- siders & man’s honor stained by insults for which there is no redress in law. How pow- erful a hold this code of honor has upon society is shown by the fact that no military officer can keep his epaulettes who declines a duel or who, under certain circumstances, docs not chal- lenge. To take a single instance, a man like Fordinand Lassalle,who porsonaily was greatly opposed to the duel, felt himself obliged to submit to the custom and died its victim. This duel to the death may have originated in a de- sire for vengeance; in many cases it was un- doubtedly an invocation of a higher power to Prove tho falseness of the charge implied in the insult. THE MODERN DUELIST, thongh the baser fecling of revenge may often , Guide his deadly weapon, has another philoso- phy. It is not the destruction of his opponent which he desires; he tries, by exposing himseif to the danger of being killed and wounded, to prove his courage, which is the first of mauly Virtues, and thus ‘to clear his honor. This is the reasoning of society, which will not accept poyone asa gentleman’ who declines to show courage in this way. Most duels are fought A STUDENT DUEL. for this reason; it is the condemration of so- ciety which is feared more than the weapon of the opponent. In fact, the weapons commonly chosen, pistols, do not call for much courage. The danger is over in a moment; there is not much chance for a display of skill, and experi- ence shows that such duels very seldom have a serious ending. Such duels as we read of in novels are few and far between, and when they oceur there is something more serious on the bottom of them than the requirements of Bociety—some mortal feud, in wnich the con- testants feel that the earth cannot bear both of tbem alive. Such characters, strong and noble in love and hate, are not found as often in life es in novels, and are such as will always make their own moral law. While in this country and in England we think it quite natural, for stance, that a girl who is left py her lover after the engagement should sue him for damages, such a step would be considered mercenary and low in Europe, where money is not regarded as an equivalent for honor, and where marriage not looked upon simply as an affair of busines: One may call this prejudice, but the life of the highest society is built upon it and a single person who calls the custom of dueling absurd Inust submit toitifhe does not waut to be called acoward. Few would have, and could be expected to have, that higher moral cour- age to stand, for the sake of their opinions, the scorn of those among whom they have grown up and with whom all their inclinations and interests are. THE DUEL WITH PISTOLS, As I said before, this kind of duelis supposed to be of a more serious character. In many cases, however, itis simply @ farce, entered upon to satisfy the demands of society. As a rule a duel with pistols isa game of hazard; aiming is not permitted. and one may be sure that often the wituesses fail to put bullets in the murderous weapons. So it is generally considered a very harmless affair. The startin the dust of the morning, the pretended se-" recy, the romantic spot generally chosen, bring every participant to the agreeable delu- sion that something extremely interesting is gone. and the contestants are led to believe emselves real heroes. But there is hardly more chance for injury in a pisto! duei t! fourney over a well-managed railroad. this hazardous character of the pistol duel, which is due to the way it is managed, the weapon itself lacks another quality for chiv- sirous contest: It offers no possibility for de- fense. FENCING DUEIS with any weapon are of @ more dangerous character and therefore require more courage Even when, as in certain notorious French the first drop of blood drawn, no matter ht a wound is inflicted, ends the con- } one has to look his enemy in the face for some time, and see the blade, ready to ‘WOUNDED. punish him. flash before his eyes. The most Serious duel is that fought with heavy curved sabers (““Krummsaebel”), which mostiy inflict severe wounds. The duel is generally con- tinued until one of the contestants is unable to goon. Many die in consequence or are cri pled for life. The successful handling of the Wwespon requires coolness, presence of mind, suill of band and an eye both sharp and quick. ‘ WHEN IT 18 SERIOUS. The last-named weapons or pistols are chesen by German university students in case of a serious duel. The challenged one generaliy las the privilege of choice. If he is trained in fencing be will. as a rule, choose the saber. If his adversary cannot handle the saber be may either change to pistols or else time will be given kim to train bimselt in fencing. Older students, however, who belong to clubs whose members are picdged to the acceptance of any challenge (“unbedingte satisfaction”) are sup- posed to ne more training. But one must not think that such duels for life or death are entered upon lightly. Before the adversaries are allowed to enter the field ot battle a court ot honor, composed of rej ntatives of both parties, must have deci that there is sufl- cient cause to justify a serious contest. ‘io satisfy the law, which requires the seconds to do a = pein the duel, when —_ parties ready the seconds on the spot ad- ever. is a purely for mand, and a would expose himself to the greatest possible Fidicule should he follow this advice. FENCIXG MATCHES, . Although many things bere said about © jeep right distance, At present most people take it in the sense of a contest in which the contestants measure their relative strength. In fact itis not anything more thana fencing match, There need not be any iil feeling between the adversaries, ‘THE CHALLENGE is brought about in different ways. Two bands of students come from different quarters, where they have had a jolly night Their heated spirits easily enough bring about a quarrel; a look, a meaningless word, failure to give ample room to pass, being sufficient to rt one. Instead of engaging then and there in a froe fight, vi ing cards are most politely exchanged andthe parties separate quietly to meet oar weapons in hand, on the fencing groun Astudent who does not care to wait for such an occasion. meeting another whom he regards as avout his equal, will politely in- form him that he desiresa fencing contest with The custom of causing this contest by inflicting a slight insult, a so-called “touche,” is more and more disappearing. There are certain conventioual forms which clearly show its purpose, namely, to provoke a challenge; for instance, one student says to anothe: “You are a dunce,” (sie sind ein dummer junge). The one who is addressed in this way ardly thinks of the meaning of these word: he simply understands that he is wanted for a duel. As it has often happened in this method of challenging that the contestants were of un- equal skill and strength, the provoked came the victim of a brutal superiority. EVENLY MATCHED. Today most of the students’ clubs send a list to their rivals containing the names of such members as are willing to fight. The chal- lenged ciub then chooses out of itaown number such as are rogarded as the equals of the othors to meet them. This list may be corrected several times until, in the judgment of both sides, the couples are evenly matched. All necessary provision is made to prevent scrious consequences. The arms are rapiers, long, straight blades half an inch wide, sharp on both edges for about eleven inches from the point. Only the chest, the face and the skull are open for the blows, every other part, es- pecially the eyes and throat, being pri tected. ‘The contest takes gencraliy fifteen minutes of actual fighting if a wound ix not sooner inflicted which calls for the immediate attendance of the surgeon. The latter is always present with his professional utensils ready for use. As nopauses nro counted the time the contestants stand opposite each other often exceeds an hour. AS AN EDUCATOR this duel affords a test of courage. In it the contestant shows his mettle and he comes out of it with strengthened self-reliance, which often in later life distinguishes him favorably from those who have never gone through such an experience. The pride that some of these young men take in the scars which deface their countenance hardly deserves the sneer they so often get. Itrather shows their chivalrous mind, ‘Phey are prouder of these marks of manly character than of effeminate beauty. it is a fact that cowards, afraid of the scorn of their fellow-students, overcome their fi of painand after fighting two or three of these duels wonderfully improve in their char- acter and may be placed afterward in the same rank with their most courageous com- rades. For it takes a great amount of self- control for a man, especially when he is bleed- ing with painful wounds, to staud unflinchingly for over un hour before his antagonist. “Un- flinchingly” is used here in its strictest sense, for the slightest sound of pain or movement of the hand or cven of the hend under a heavy blow, will bring disgrace, both on him who bears himself so unmanly and on his friends, for whose colors he fights and who surround him with anxious and tender lo8ks, Besides testing courage, these contests foster seli- control, presence of d, self-reliance and a fecling of solidarity and so serve as useful dis- cipline for later life. Duels of either kind never gain the character of anexhibition, It is hard for an outsider to gain permission to witness them. Students who boast of their victories in duels aro not the most respected und no one whv is not con- sidered a gentleman is allowed to take active part in them, itmay seem strange that these duels and many cther things that students do are more or less connived at by the xuthorities, But we should not forget that in ‘Germany the young man, until he goes to the university, that is, until he is eighteen or nineteen years of age, is considered a mere school boy, without any freedom at all; after the university life is over the dignity of his Office or profession leaves him far less freedom of movement than men of any other caliing. Therefore, the few academical vears are the only ones given him in which he may enjoy life to his heart's con- tent. Erysr Ricuanp, pe SEES Soe aoe REED BIRDS BRED TO ORDER. A Boarding House Landlord Inaugu- rates the Most Immense of Schemes. —_——— E HAD reed birds for dinner last night,” said young Peyton Peytonto a representative of Tur Stan at the Platypus Club yesterday after- noon with ill-suppressed glee. Peyton Peyton, you know, isin the sarap of State. It goes without saying that the foreign office, as young gentlenien employed there are fond of calling it, is decidedly the proper branch of the civil service to work in, “My landlord,” said Peyton Peyton, “is like many other husbands of boarding house keep- ers that I hive ever known in one respect— lives on his wife. That type of mau is invar: ably fond of amusement in one shape or another. One such specimen I once knew who was addicted to dissipation of a religious de- scription. He joined a shouting sect of so-called Perfectionists, who had got so far in sanctity that they could not sin, though he toiled not for himself from one year’s end to the other. My landlord ix addicted to sport. Now and then in the season he goes off to the races, and the result is apt to be poorer fare off-and-on when he struck the wrong horse, “Last night, after I had enjoyed the reed birds extremely—partly because we had been half starved for the week previous—he came to me, rubbing his hends. and inquired if I had not found the game delicious. ime!” I replied with enthusiasm--for iy ved them exceedingly, ‘Will you permit me to exhibit to you my reed bird tarm? he inquired, “Ieouldn’t imagine what he meant, but of course I acquiesced politely. He led me up to the loft of the house, which was Spacious and well hghted. Iwas astonished to find there a regular aviary of sparrows, Tho situation dawned upon me at once, I had often heard of sparrows being used as substitutes for reed birds by restaurants—evidently my landlord had discovered their availability in this way. “This is but a preliminary experiment,’ he explained. ‘After a little ‘while my wife's boarders may have reed birds every day if they so desire. People generally have no no- tion of the difference that food makes in a bird. An English sperrow shot on the street is one ing; ted for a season upon a choice and fut- diet of grain tt is quite another. No one would readily recognize tho tuneful bobolink of the north in the succulent reed bird of the Delaware and Chesapeake or in the rice bird of the south. Yet all threo are one, When the bobolink strikes the reeds it ceases i to ng and becomes tat; migrating further it grows fatter still upon the rice tields and is a prized delicacy for the table. DIET THE ONLY NECESSITY. “So you apply the same notion to sparrows?” said. “Precisely,” he admitted. ‘My theory was that diet was the only thing necessary to make the English #;atrow as palatable as the reed bird or the rice bird. At dinuer today you and the other Soys, without knowing it, decided that my exper ment was a success. I have been catching in this loft @ Jogen or so spar- rows every day, und, once caught, I have fed them upon rice, whick I find most fattening. ‘Three weeks of that dict will make sparrows as fat as butter and a» Juscious as aay recd bird, This I call my reed bird farm.

IFTEEN OR TWENTY dollars s foot would seem to bea rather round figuro to pay for ground even for business pur- poses. Two years ago or even one year ago such figures obtained for anything except choice business locations would have astonished real estate circles. At the present time, however, these prites have lost whatever of @ sensational character they ever possessed. and considerable property is passing hands at these and much higher prices, A great deal is done ina year sometimies, especially in the case of a city that is making rapid strides for- ward, as this city is doing. 1¢ is true thet a year ago $10 a foot was regarded as a high price for property along G street—for example, from 9th to! 15th and along the streets connecting F and G streets, But just now $10 a foot is regarded in the light oi a bargain. The recent transaction at the northeast corner of 1ith and G illustrates pretty we!l the present tone of the market. Here wasa large block of land over 100 feet squar. containing more than 11,000 square feet cold for nearly $18 per oz are foot. It required nearly $200,000 to bny that prop- erty, and yet no one seems to think that the purchaser, Mr. Lisner, the enterprising pro- rietor of the Palais Royal, did a foolish thing. For the corner piece he paid $22 per toot, and yetin the spring when the same property was purchased for $15 it was considered to be a pretty stif figure, The past six months ha witnessed an eppreciation in values iu all that section from Penns vania avenue to New York avenue and from 9th tu 15th streets, At the same time the entire locality is being rap- idly transformed into » business center, This can readily be seen by any one who walks along the streets, New buildings are going up and old ones are being remodeled. Washing- ton may not be acommercial city in the usual sense, but the business buildings that have been erected and are now going up will com- pare favorably with a similar class of buildings imany of the large cities of the country. That is the opinion of citizens who are familiar with the business secticns of other cities, and thore to doubtit. Itcan 9 be said rovement is uot on the outside these magniticent paleces of trade a fine display of goods may be found, so that those who wish to buy bric-a-brac or kitchen. utensils find that they can do better at home than by going abroad. Tho appreciation in the value of business sites, therefore, seems to be the legitimate outcome of a natural expan- sion of the business of the city to meet the ueeds of a growing population. + OUR HOUSES TOO CONVENIENT. People who go abroad, and a good many are in the habit of spending ® considerable por- tion of each year in Europe, are apt to com- pare their home city wita the cities they ha visited. Washington does not suffer, as a rule, by such comparisons, except just now, when the streets are unusually dirty. A person who has just returned from Paris is apt to think of the clean boulevards of the French capital and wonder why our asphalt pavements are not kept in as good order, There is, however, another feature of life in Europe which stands out in ‘rather bold contrast in comparison with the average experience in this country. It is the excellence of the domestic service. Ser- vants are said to be more efficient, not only in private houses. but in hotels, and tho opinion is expressed that the inefliciency of the American domestic is largely due to the multiplication of what are known as conveniences, In this country private houses and hotels are supplied with water on every floor. There are sinks for the waste water and elevators to save the drudgery of carrying up the stairs coal for grate fires and for conveying to the lower floors articles of all kinds, It 18 argued that the abundant supply of labor-sav- ing devices renders tho servants carciess and inattentive. Whether this &@ correct criti- cism or not it is certain that the modern house, especially those erected in this city,abounds in ingenious devices for saving time and labor, “All the modern conveniences” isa common form of describing a house offered for sale or rent, and if details were given it would indeed bea’ lengthy catalogue. Even in dwelling houses of medium size it is not unusual to find elevators for the transportation of articles from one floor to the other. When space ca not be spared for an elevator devoted solely to what may ve termed the carrying of freight then the dumb waiter in the dining room closet is arranged so that it can be drawn up to the upper stories, aud when it is not wanted to bring from the kitchen the family dinner it performs the duty of conveying the soiled linen to the udry or lifting coal to the upper stories, ‘Then there are bells and speaking tubes and stationary wash tubs and other fa- cilities which are now coasidered as necessary to a home as a front door. LIVELY REAL ESTATT MEX, Real estate men, as a rule, are a wide-awake, progressive class and in this city they are obliged to be so in order to keep up with the Aman can’t go to sleep in this length of time and expect when he wakes up to find everything just as he left it. He will be more apt to discover that he is the only one that is left. Just now, when peo- le are looking around for houses to rent or je the complaint is heard that houses are scarce, and yet there havo been more houses built this year than last year, which witnessed one of the most active building seasons known here. It has also been suid that ground in some of the business sections is held at prices which make it impossible for the purchaser to obtain from the property a fair return on the money invested, Still, all the same, these prices are being paid by shrewd men of af- fairs, and it is a fair presumption that they see a profit lurking about somewhere. As one of the results of the activity in the market the real estate men are unusually on the alert. One enterp: g broker has re- cently introduced into his business a photo- graphic camera with the necessary appliances for developing the plates and mounting the photographs, When he has a house that he wants to make “a special drive” he has it photographed and copics struck off, ‘The pic- tures are well executed, aud when displayed in his office and on his bulletin bourd with an at- tractive notice attached they draw attention to the property and assist materially in making sales, PROF.
