acclaim; but one sees the inevitable
result. Curiosity has been satiated;
the actress turns out to be little more
than an amateur; the best society does
not take her to its arms, and if she
remained in New York much longer
the probability is that she would play

The Yankee public is not altogether a

Financially, therefore, the speculation

On the other hand in Christine
Nilsson, who is also under his enter
prising management, one recognizes
the potency Of the real magnet that Is
attracting to her presence wherever
she appears the best Of our people, the

Pottery is the oldest industry in the
world. Adam was made OF clay. But
be acted as though he was only half
baked. His son Gain did the first
kiln in the country.
The potter works in the mud, hence
We admire his work. His life is one
long act Of mudder, but he is never
hanged for it, THOUGH sometimes he is
broken at the wheel. i,
All his work, however good, goes to
the fire. What he bakes you can not
eat, although you can eat what the
other baker sets on it.
Inc potter IS an arlStocrat BY nature,
and always belongs toa set. To several
sets, in fact.
He is Independent, and urns his own
living.
He is a base ball star, and makes a
better pitcher than the "only No

He is no deacon, but he passes the
plate regularly. A rigid temperance
man, he is fond Of his bowl. And he
always makes it go round, too.
There never was but one fluid potter,
and he cid not stay fluid long, for he
made q cup and saw, sir.
He is always hopeful, for..it is his
nature to look cup. l'I
He is a generous fellow, and what is
his is ewers.
He believes in human equality, and
thinks the law should mako claymen

"Who breaks, pays" must have
been originated by the potter. AL

more likely to read who pays,

Deathbed Repentance.

A
How beautiful, how unaffected, how
altogether pure and lovely is the
penitenoe Of q man who is SO near
death that he has not the least reason
to cherish the sins that have been his
lifelong darlingsl The reflections are
suggested by the sudden interest ex-
hibited by certain Republican Repre-.
sentatiYes in Congress in civil service
reform. When Nj. Kasson yesterday
offered a resolution directing the Civil
Service Reform Committee to report a
bill at once Mr.. Hiscock declared that
the whole House was in favor of civil
service reform. lfone had risen from
the dead there could not have been
greater surprise throughout the coun-
try, for amongthe desires Of Mr.. His.
cocks heart civil service reform has
never been imagined to have even an
unconsplcuous place. Other Rep lblic-
an Congressman have been heard, in
hotel lobbies and cloak rooms, to ex.
press sentiments similar to that with
which Mr.. Hisceck paralyzed the
House. Probably they all would say,
as Mr.. Hiscock did. that the only diff
ferences Of opinion on the subject Of
civil service reform were as to method,
AT any other time this explanation
would be received with jeers, for it is
the usual excuse OF men who want TO
work all kinds Of sly mischief yet
appear we'll in the eyes Of their fellow
men. Even now it does mean any.

ofsuch persons the public should re-

his tongue was so unaccustomed to
decent language that he discharged
within two or three minutes the dread
full assortment of slang and profanity
that had ever been heard inside Of

TO be genuine; if it is not it ought to
be, for it is one Of the few indications

A JEALOUS
His Wife, GOaded 10 Desperation
BY His Abuse, SETTLES the
Matter BY killing Him.
Special 70 ohic.sO Tribune.


ST. PAUL, December A Long
Prairie, MINI, special to the Pioneer
Press says; Particulars have been
received Of the shooting of j. O. Good
water by his wife at Little Sank last
Friday morning. 1t appears to have
been the act OF q woman goaded to
desperation by a jealous. minded and
brutal husband. A few days before
the shooting Goodwater showed his
wife q revolver he had purchased. and
told her he had procured it for tho
purpose of killing her. On the morn.
ing OF the shooting he got up very
early and went to the place he had
left the revolver, and finding his wife
had been there and removed it, be
became greatly enraged and attacked
her with 3 drawing knife, but she in
some way prevented his iDjuring her.
Finding the drawing knife an un.
wleldy weapon, he threw it down, and
while in the act of picking up a stick
OF stoyewood with which to continue
his murderous assault, she drew the
revolver, which she had concealed
upon her person, and fred the fatal
shot. AS soon as she realized what
she had done she went to the nearest
officer and gave herself up. She has
relatives here, and gives that, and the
fact of his refusing to give her the
children, as her reason for living With
him as long as she had. Goodwater
has been married three times, and be
did not live happily with any Of his
wives. His second wife died partly
from his i'll treatment and abuse. The
present Mrs. Goodwater is but seven

On November 20 James Bradley, a

proved fruitless. He was about to

two women came from Hyde county,

which he was alleged to be the father.
These developments broke off the
marriage and threw Bradley into a ft
OF rage and despair. He went to
the cotton ginhouse while the labor
ers were at dinner, it is thought, and
threw himself into the half filed box
in which the cotton is packed into
bales. When the laborers returned
the box was filed, and the bale
pressed, bagged and sold. In a few
days it was shipped to Greencastle.
There a grader, cutting into it, found
a shoe. This, to his horror, was
found 10 contain a foot. The bale
was then torn apart by the eager
crowd, when the body Of Bradley was
exposed, pressed fat and with the
head crushed to- jelly. The evidence
shove that the negro, declaring he
would take his life, took several
drinks and then threw himself in the
press.
