"DUEL IS GENTLEMANLY."
LESS HARMFUL THAN BOXING.
New York, January 2. A Hungarian banker, who has been stopped by the immigration authorities at Ellis Island because of a bloodless duel which ho fought against his partner, saye that the detention is absurd. "Of course, I did not intend to kill him," he says. "No gentleman does that sort of thing. A little hole in the calf of the leg or a scratch on the arm carries satisfaction with it. but that is about the extreme limit of permissible chastisement. Duelling,"' he added, "is much less barrmful than boxing matches."
