Nilsson on Wilde.


Nine Nilsson gave Chicago Tribune reporter
the other day her opinion of Oscar Wilde as
follows:
''He ought to have been taken by the ear and
taken to the boat and driven out Of this country
What right has he to come here and say that
everything American is all wrong? I think that
your people are too good-natured or they never
would stand it. / know shouldn't put I'D with
his nonsense. You know in Europe he doesn't
appear clad as he does here. That wouldn't be
tolerated there. The ladies are taken by that
lock of his on his forehead The idea of a sun
flower being pretty! 1t reminds me with its
yellow color Of paleness and sickness like the
lilies: there is nothing more perfect than the
lily-of-the- valley. But that suntiower-if that
is esthetcism, | am not esthetic. That craze
has been the means of accommodating a mass
OF worthless rubbish in lots Of houses
met Oscar Wilde in London once, where we
were both guests, and he was to take me down
to dinner. He commenced to talk his nonsense
and pose to me as we were going to the dining
room. l said to him: Look here Mr.. Wilde,
Nine. Christine Nilsson will put pwith no such
stun This is all put on. and there is nothing in
it but nonsense Mr. Wilde said: Thank yOu
You are the first sensible woman and true friend
that I've met After that he acted as a man
should and talked sensibly. Some days after
he sent me volume or mis- poems. appropriately
inscribed. But he is not considered a poet in
Europe. When sang last Saturday in Stein
way Hall saw Mr.. Wilde sitting in a front row
in one of those affected positions of his. with
his shoulders one way his head another. and his
body anywhere was singing little Swedish
ballad, and it just occurred to me, am SO full
OF mischief that it might be a good thing to
initiate him, but thought that the audience
might not like 1t, SO didn't do it,"

ton might, without much trouble or expense,
when the colored man Dade, afflicted with the
smallpox called on him, have detained him I'M
til he could have stepped across the street and
summoned, by telephone, the smallpox ambu-
lance. instead Of sending the poor man through
| the public highways of the city to the health
office DR.. Helmsen, the druggist, am told
was under the care of a physician until he was
| removed to the hospitaI, and If that physician
knew what the matter was with Mr.. Helmsen
| he should have at once ordered the closing of
his drug store, thereby aiding. SO far as In his

Mr.. Helmsen was, himself. in his store and aid

criminal neglect, been exposed to the dreaded

A Speculation I'm Stolen shoes.
BOY WHO ROBBED HIS EMPLOYER-THE MEN
WHO BOUGHT THE STOLEN GOODS PROSE-
CUTED.
The case of Thomas Ganley, the lad charged
before Judge Smell yesterday with robbing his
employer, Mr.. H. Walker Tucker, a shoe mer-
chant at No. 1928 Pennsylvania avenue. was
continued until to-day. Mr.. Tucker has been
missing fine shoes and boots from his establish
ment for some time, and could never discover
who the thief was, and reported the matter to
the police sometime ago. Lieut. Guy, of the
fourth precinct, recently learned that some col
ored men in the West End were selling fine new
boots and shoes at remarkably low prices, and
that they had bought them from Ganley. Can
ley was taken into custody by the lieutenant
Wednesday, and admitted his guilt, and stated
that he had sold great many pairs of boots
and shoes to George Fry, a colored shoemaker,
and johnson q Sutton, also colored, who keep
an oyster house at No. 822 10Th street. The
houses of these men were searched, and about
800 worth Of shoes and boots that had been
stolen from Mr.. fuckers store were recovered.
The men were taken into custody. The bow
stated to the police that he sold the boots and
shoes to these men at Is and so cents Der pair.
Upon examining the case Prosecuting Attorney
Moore decided to not prosecute the boy, but to
use him as witness against the colored men
who bought the goods of him, and whom he
(Mr. MoOre) charged with receiving stolen
goods. The stolen property recovered by the
police and identified by Mr.. Tucker was brought
into court this morning, and filed two large
sacks, and is estimated to be worth more than
800.
