dash Of rain, followed by q hail squalI,

The Late Miss Nelson.

| IT is not too much to say that the an
nouncement of Miss Nelson's death
shocks the whole EDglish dramatic
world. Those who have witnessed her
| Incompatible impersonations will deep
| " lament an event which renders n rep
etition of that exquisite pleasure forever
! impossible. Those who have never en-
joyed that pleasure may well lament,
even more deeply, what is to them, in
deed, an irreparable loss. The finest
Shakspearian actress, not only of our
age, but of any age, has made her final
adieux and gone down to darkness and
the worm. The black curtain has fallen
upon a long, yet far too short, series of
triumphs which, highly as they were app
preciated when their heroine was living,
will be far more highly appreciated now
that she is dead.
The Shakspearian fame of Sarah Sid
dons rests solely upon her Lady Mac
beth. The Shakspearian fame of AIDE
laide Nelson rests upon broader, IL not
better, foundations; upon Juliet, Viola,
Imogen, Isabella and Rosalind. In this
range of characters she never has had,
and we believe never will have, a rival
near the throne. She Is the only woman
who has seemed TO have an instructive
and thorough knowledge of Shakspearc's
noblest women. She did not act them;
she Was them. She threw her whole
soul into these splendid creations, and il
may be said that she re-created them;
for certainly until her day they never
lived and breathed and burned upon the
stage. There have been other Juliets,
Niolas, lmogens, Isabellas and Rosa
linds: but the best of them were poor
and weak compared with hers. Men
tally and physically she was pre-emi-
nently fitted for her task, and her rare
equipment in brain and beauty was sup
plemented by an indomitable energy
worthy of the strongest masculine
full extent of her powers; always did all
she could do-and was then dissatifcd
because her grandest efforts fell short of
her ideal. The thrcadbare quotation is
peculiarly applicable i'm this case:
stake her for all-in-all, we shall never
look upon her like again"
Miss Nelson's sudden death was not
entirely unexpected to her friends. To
one of them she remarked, on her last
visit to st. Louis, that she "was rapidly
wearing out through the tremendous
strain upon her nervous system, and
must leave the stage very soon or risk n
complete breakdown" Her physicians
had so advised, and her own sensations
confirm their opinion. The last season
in America taxed her failing strength
beyond its limits, and more than once,
she said, she " would gladly have given
up the profits of two weeks engage
ment for single nights rest" That
such matches artist should perish In
her prime, leaving no successor, IL
nothing less than a public calamity

A Peculiar Case.

A SINGULAR lawsuit has been COM
menced in France. At Toulouse, on
the night when the Jesuits were to be
expelled, the door of their. retreat was
found barred and locked. The police
did all they could, but their efforts were
unavailing. 1t was easy to find lock-
smith, but il was not easy to get him to
work. The Jesuits of Toulouse were
popular, and the middle classes had al
most superstitious dread of taking any
definite part in their expulsion. The
chief locksmith of the town declined the
job, but eventually picked the lock, and
the police got in and the Jesuits were
turned out. Since that night the lock-
smith, who had n very good business
before, has lost all his clients. They
have deserted his shop and patronized
his rival, and have told him in so many
words the cause of their conduct. He
protested, but IL was no use To protest,
and now he has sought the tribunals To
protect him from the consequences Of
what they compelled him to do.

how can 1 ever hope you will forgive
the cruel deception l put upon you to
carry out the living wish of q supposed
dead daughterP 1 feel you will never
experience but anger toward me, though
no man in this world do 1 respect and
love more than you!"
"Mr. Kesteven!' calculated the art
list, surprised, also moved, by the old
gentleman's earnest manner and
apology.
" Yes, Mr.. Hartley-love; for to you
owe my daughters life. There is an
incision in her arm from which the blood
is running freely. 1t was not there to-
day. You alone could have made it
did you notl''
81 did; in a moment of impulse, or
indignation!" answered the artist, col
oring to the temples. "After 1 had
done it regretted the act: but the re-
suit has been so happy -"
"Mr. Hartley" cried Mr.. Kesteven,
Selling his hand, " Heaven inspired you!
Tell me, pray, what occurred after 1
left the room"
1t was nearly an hour later when the
artist returned home, with the con-
seriousness of strange citation, caused
probably by Mr.. Kesteven's praise and
gratitude.
The first thing he did was to take a
brush full of sepia and obliterate the en-
tire portrait of the supposed dead.
No." he reflected; if paint that
lovely face it must he afresh, and from a
living model. This would always give
me the horrors, from the idea of what
might have been but for my fear"
lie did paint Mabel Kesteven from
her own bright, happy self, for the sit
lungs were arranged during the Christ
mas dinner at which Mr.. Kesteven in
sisted the artist should make one.
The professional visits led to those of
friendship, and the result was probably
what had been guessed, that Leonard
Hartley wooed and won the lovely girl
whom, by accident, he had rescued from
the tomb.
