ROYALTY NOT EXEMPT
FROM FIELD OF HONOR
Socialist Wrong in Inference]
That Prince Never Has
Died in Duel.
BV I.A MARQUISE DE FO vn:\o Y.'
N the Reichstag the other <lay, dur
Ilng the angry discussion <>n the
subject of duelling, and the attacks*
on die Emperor In connection
therewith, a Socialist deputy made a
remark to the effect that "It a prince
were shot, there would promptly come
an Imperial order to stop duelling."
This conveys the Impression that no1
prince has ever been killed in a duei.J
whlca is by jio'means the ease as the
lolloping patlvstic instance demon-j
strnies. One of the members of the I
well known house of Wedel, for so
long connected with the royal family
of Hanover, on following the blind
King of that coustry to Vienna, had
the misfortune to becomi Involved In
the latter city, through no fault of
his own. In a duel with one, of his
master's favorite nephews, a particu?
larly quarrelsome young man. Prince
Solms, and to wound him fatally In the
encounter. Although Count Wedel was
in no way t? blams, yet he was forced
to leave the employ of the King, all
his previous dovotlon going for noth?
ing, and lo expatriate himself. Rut
the most pathetic feature of the trage?
dy was the fact that the dead prlnci'a
mother was stone blind, like her halt*
brother, the Kinir of Hanover, eik! that
she was led to believe that her son was
traveling abroad, engaged In sum > con-I
fldcntlal mission and letters purporting
to have conn.- from him and to have
been written from various points of
his journey were Ingeniously concocted
and read aloud to her.
.lust as ths poor old lady was be?
ginning to get concerned by the pro?
long, id absence of her favorite boy,
ami when the pious fraud seemed to he
on th-" point of exposure, sin- dljd very
suddenly, after a short Illness, and so
did not learn until she had passed
into the Urea! Beyond, that her son
had preceded her therj.
Some misapprehension sterns to ex'st
in the mind of the Socialist referred
to, as to Die Influence of the Kaiser
on the subject of the duello. Although
he has not forbidden private combats
altogether, he has so hedce.i them
about with restrictions, that during
his reign, the number of such "affairs
of honor" has been reduced from con?
siderably over 1,200 a year in the army
and navy, to an average of less than
a dozen yearly, and these only take
placj when a court of honor has found
that a reconciliation of the difficulty
is Impossible, or in their estimation.
Inadvisable.

FIORIST
leave the kingdom for tho purpose of
lighting one on fori-Ign soil. Three
years ago the national Cortes of Spain
passed a law shrlctly prohibiting duels
and rendering the principals and their
seconds criminally accountable, espec?
ially In the case of fatal duels.
Austria, Hungary, Italy and Rumania
prohibit, undsr heavy penalties, tho
lighting Of a duel which lias not pre?
viously received tho sanction on a
"court of honor.'' Whore duelling can?
not be suppressed altogether, perhaps
the next b--st thiim Is to make such
affairs perfectly harmless, a* Is prac- J
lically the cast, in France, (where such
meetings furnish material for tho comic
papers and are generally regarded as
attempts to obtain free advertising'.
It must not be supposed, however, that
the French duellist Is more, timid than
his Teuton prototype. Tha difference
is that ho risks his money as well
as his life. For ho who Is unskilful
or unfortunate enough to kill ?"the
party of the other part." is liable In
heavy damages to the family of the
deceased. For instance, In the duel
between M. Asselln and M, de St. Vic?
tor, when the latter was killed, his
widow instituted, not criminal, but
civil proceedings, and obtained a ver?
dict of 100,00(1 flaues damages. Al?
though French duellists are especially
atixJous to avoid homicide, it is thor?
oughly understood that honor cannot
be satisfied without the shedding of
an appreciable amount of gore. To
meet this requirement. It bus be.'n
humorously said that the attendant
surgeons, who lonn an Important part
of every hostile meeting, have been
known to carry a small bottls ot
blood, or fluid of a similar color, in
llieir pockets to augment the apparent
seriousness of any scratch that did
not penetrate the skin deep enough
to produce a respectable flow*, it will
be remembered that Napoleon I. had
nol a very high opinion ot the courage
of duellists, lie remarked that many
of those who were the greatest swash?
bucklers, and the most ready to pro?
voke others to single combat, appeared
to be Incapable of the steady und
sustained bravery that carry an atlt
cer creditably through a campaign.
It is a curious thing, too. that thi
country, above all others, ihut is fam?
ous for the combatlveness ami reck?
less daring of Its people, was the lirst
Of all those in Europe to abandon the
fashion. The solemn formalities and
etiquette Of the code duello appear
to have appealed to the sense of humor
of the Irish, rather than to their un?
doubted bravery.
England followed suit, after a duel.
In isci, in which Colonel Fawcett was
shot by his brother-in-law, Lieutenant
Monro. In 1844, an amendment to the
articles of war ordained that "every
person who shall light or promote a
duel, or take any steps thereto, or
who shall not do his best to prevent
duel, shall, if an afttcer, be cashiered,
or suffer such other penalty as a gen?
eral courtmatial may award." This
urticie is still in force.
Lord Howard of Olossop. has, ac?
cording to recent dispatches, just ob?
tained a divorce from his wife. I do
not see how this can very well be. for
Lord Howard of Olossop Is a very rigid
Catholic, und while lie remains within
the folds of that church, he cannot
of course consistently secure a divorce.
1 have not heard that h ! hat' ( hanged

Was educated at that famous Catho?
lic Institution, the oratory School. Edg
baston, near Itirmlnghani. The d'voroo,
If divorce l| Is. was obtained Under
v*ry peculiar circumstances.
It seems that in June 1903, I?ord
Howard and his wife mole nil SB ? -
mcnl to separate. In may 1901 L>rd
Howard received an anonymbiis loiter
?riving blm certain Information He
Instituted diligent Inquiries to ascer?
tain the identity of Ho- writer of the
anonymous letter, and t<> lind out
whether the statements therein were
true. At last he discoreved that Lioly
Howard of Olossop had itiveu birth
to a child on tho 2.0th of March, 1905,
but all attempts to tind out who is the
father of the child, have met with
'failure. Therefore suit was brought,
and the dSi Islon of th,, court was uiven
in favor of th'3 petitioner without the
mention of tlx? name of the co-respon?
dent. Lndy Howard of Olossop, an ex?
