Of the evidence.

MISSIONER Kinkaid. swore that he informed

Governor Crittenden's private tee
retary has notified the circuit at
torney that the governor is at the pleasure
of the grand jury and ready and willing to
appear before them.
This afternoon the court of appeals an

treated to an exhibition of rare acting,

Madame Janauschek, sustained by a
talented company. 1t is futile for rs to
attempt to add to the praise or laurels
of Janauschek. In the story which was
rehearsed last night she was the central
figure, and as the fond. proud, stern,
Just, loving and finally forgivine mother,
right royalty did she command the rapt
attention and fearful sympathy of her
audiences. The play from first to las,
is strong, both in language and situa-

its pathos tender and its finale Just and
satisfying to our sense of right. We

A PAIR OF SHOES IN TWENTY MIN.
TTES.
| Boston Globe.

boston GlOOe.
Eight hours consumed in making a
pair of boots or shoes when working for
q record would be considered terribly
slow time in Lam. Twenty minutes is
the best time on record. In 1880 Charles
Stewart Parnell visited Lynn, and while
there he was shown about the city by
Mayor Sanderon and three or four other
gentlemen. The party visited the shoe
mandatory OF G. s. Sweetser & Co.,
and the proprietors decided to show Mr..
Parnell hew quick pair of boots could
be made. 1t was decided to make a pair
of women's grain polish, and the work
commenced, Mr.. Parnell closely watch
ing every movement. He saw the stock
for the uppers and the top Innings cut
out, the eyeleting done and the passing
of the uppers from one stitcher to an
other; he saw the sole leather died out
for the bottoms, and the stock fitted.
Up to this time the uppers and bottoms
could be kept separate. The next he
saw the two parts come together. the
uppers lasted to the bottoms, then the
uppers we're sewed to the sJles by Mo.
Kay stitcher, and in rapid succession
followed the work Of beating out, trim
ming and setting tho edres, mailing on
the heels, shaving and finishing the
same, buffing the bottom and channel
ing. Mr.. Parnell then took the boots,
which had been manufactured in just
twenty minutes before his own eyes,
and carried them with him to England.
These boots passed through no less than
thirty hands, and the work was perfect.
