WIG nrnth Of Why Nnil.n,,


The Morning NeWs disposes of the late
Miss Nelson and declares she was simply |
a pretty woman with no great dramatic
talent We suppose this settles it, and the
great body of English-speaking playgoers,
who have for years considered her one of
the worlds really great artists, will have
10 acknowledge that they were mistaken.
We shall be very glad, however, to see her
place filed by one who can by mere
beauty bring the most charming of
Shakespeares women as living, breath
ing creatures on the stage. The NeDS
says Nelson was not as great an actress
as Janauschek. We do not think she
would have made as good Lady Macbeth
as Janauschek, for instance and neither
do we think she would have made as good
q Hamlet as Edwin Booth There would
have been just as much sense in compar-
ing her with the latter as with the former.
She never essayed the roles in which
Janauschek has won her well-founded
reputation, but in the characters she did
portray she won success as far surpass-
ing that of any other actress known to
this generation as Charlotte Cushman, for
instance, surpassed Janauschek in the
presentation of the characters more suit
able to an actress in her maturer years
Throwing aside tine ludicrous features
of this attempt to reverse the Judgment
of the most cultivated audiences of
English-speakjng people everywhere, and
to rebuke the enthusiasm of the dramatic
critic of the New York Iyi5une, we wish
to express seriously our own regret at the
sudden close of the splendid career OF this
beautiful and gifted actress, who
gave the world such living reali.
cations of Jtbst, R9saiiad and
Eiola as it has not had from any other il
the time of living men, and the equals o.
which live only in the old traditions o.
the English stage il the days of its glory
Over the grave which opened so suddenly
before her, ON the eve of her marriage
with Mr.. Compton, it is not worth whit
to discuss the faults and frailties of tn
woman, but the world owes and can wei
afford to pay a heartfelt tribute to tn
artist it has lost and whose like it may no
soon see again.
If General Grant was in the whisk
ring the people of this country ought t
know it, Nothing is ever made by cor

or later, if it be on his death bed revea

right to know, because Grants friend

A Medicine .houla not be euased

By the suddenness and violence of its eff.
fects. Self:evident as this proposition would
seem, there are many foolish persons who
are content only with a remedy which acts
abruptly. The pill and other nostrum.ven-
dors who trade upon the credulity Of this

mus Ward termed it, in the sale of violent
purgatives. So long as they wrench the
bowels Of their dupes sufficiently, they are
pretty sure of certain measure Of success.
If instead of such pernicious rubbish, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is used, the results
are widely different. The bowels are re.
lieved, but always gently, by this pleasan,
laxative, which does not weaken but invig
crates them, and endows them and the co
operative organs Of digestion and billion,
secretion with activity and regularity
strengthens the constitution and physique
and while it is safe in its constituents, il
