LOVED HIS TEACHER.
A Crazy Students Wild InfatuItfon 10
Miss KosminskI.


The angels told me | must see her." said
John Spitzley yesterday. as he was booked
at the City Prison for insanity. He had
been taken into custody at the request Of
Miss k0sminski. a teacher at the Lincoln
Evening School. He formerly attended the
night school and was instructed by the fair
Miss Kosminski. He became passionately
in love with.his Instructor, much to the
young lady's chagrin and disgust
Sucn a hold did the passion take upon
SpitZley that he gave up his position as a
porter In COmmercial-Stree hotel and
logged her footsteps night aud day. She
made up her mind that the fellow was crazy
and had him taken before the Commission
ers on Insanity. He was found to be sane,
however, and promised TO cease annoy
ing the teacher. Instad of keeping his
word he has been going 10 Miss kosminski's
house, 9lS Van Ness avenue, every morning
at 10 o'clock. On these visits he Invariably
asked for potato or a CUCUMBER that Miss
kosminski had touched. Several times he
was given vegetables. but he was not per-
United To see the teacher.
After being locked up yesterday SpitZley
was asked Didn't YOU promise to leave
Miss kosmuSki alone ?'
Il know | did" said he sadly, 'but the
angels told me | must see her"

FROM the rising of the curtain I'M
til the going down of the same, the
large audience at the Opera House
to hear Gov. Taylor, was in broad
smile. Their faces were so set with
laughter that they could not get
them straight even when moved to
pity by some sweet story he would
tell, or moved to tears by the woful
fate of a pardon begging convict
father. Bob Taylor is great. He is a
great speaker, a great lecturer, a
great orator, a great hCmOrist, a
great actor, a great mimic; a big
Drained, tender-hearted, lovable,
sympathetic, man of the people.
He may not have the bull dog
tenacity of Andrew jackson; or the
learning of Webster, or the acumen
of Jefferson; but he is great among
the people. And the man who car
ries about with him a love for the
people and the love of the people, is
no ordinary man.

DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT.
r.. M. Powell AccidentIy Killed by w. De
WhitthOrne, Jr.

whitthorne, Jr.
KNOXVILLE, Dec. 20.-A deplorable
accident happened at the State Uni
O'Clock. R NJ. Powell, student
from near Springfield, Robertson
County, was shot aud instantly killed
by w. J. WniIthOLne, Jr., OF Column
bia. The shooting was purely acct
dental, and resulted from handling
the deadly "unloaded" pistol.
Powell aud his roommate, X. Il.
Woodward, had spent the afternoon
packing their trunks and getting
ready to leave for their homes at 4
o'clock tomorrow morning. They
were going home to spend the holt
DAYS with hOme-folks. Powell bad
his trunk all in order. In the tray
Law a revolver. The boys were en-
gagged in conversation, waiting for the
supper oelI, when WhItthOrne entered
their room. He roomed just across
the ha and all were good friends
and neighbOrs.
When Whitthorne entered the
room the conversation drifted to the
subject of revolvers. Woodward
took his from his trunk and handed
it to WhitthOrne 10 examine. The
pistol was "hafd on the trigger"
Powell said his worked all right and
took it from his trunk He snapped
it several times and handed it to
Whitthorne to try. He handed the
pistol to Whltthorne butt foremost,
the barrel being in his hand and
pointing towards himself. He told
WhitthOrne to see how easy it was on
the trigger. WhitthOrne took hold
of the pistol and snapped 1t.
The hammer came down and there
was a loud report. Powell threw his
hands to his breast, staggered to his
feet and said, ~ am shot" His hOr-
rified companions rushed to his as
sistance and laid him on the bed, and
one ran for doctor. Powell never
spoke again and was dead in a few
seconds. The ball passed through or
hear tine heart aud was from No. 3S
bore.
Whitthorne is greatly distressed by
the accident. He says he saw Pow
ell snap the pistol and did not think
for q moment that it was loaded. All
the students and faculty are greatly
grieved Over the affair. Powell was
about 10 yearslof age and a bright,
popular boy. WhitthOrne is of about
the same age and is also popular.
He is q SOC of Hon. w. j. Whit
thOrne, Senator-elect from Maury
county.
An Inquest was held over the body,
but nothing at variance with the
ABOVE account was brought out. 1t
was one of those unfortunate and sad
accidents that so often happen from
handling "unIoaded pistols" Whit
thorne is terribly grieved. 1t should
be stated that the evidence before the
Coroner's jury showed that all the
cartridges had been removed but one,
and the pistol had been snapped I'M
til this was in place just ready to be
fired by pulling the trigger. The
boys thought all the cartridges had
been removed. They had recently
bought the pistols, and said they did
not know just how to work them.

THE Democrat ic party is in more
danger four years from now from dis
gruntled office-seekers, than from
any other cause or source or enemy.
Never in the history OF the country
have there been so many men seek
ing office; and for that matter, never
has there been So many seeking
private employment. This is not the
fault of the people, it is their misfor-
tune. The fault lies with the Re-
publican party, which, by it's partial
laws and class legislation has
brought poverty and idleness upon
the many while it was building up
colossal fortunes for the few. But
what we started to say is, that there
are two evils to be avoided. Our
Governor and Senators aud Con-
gressmen must not weary in well
doing; they are the servants OF the
people, and must not forget it; they
must be faithful and uhtiring and
patient in serving their constituents
and seeking employment for all who
ask. The people are SIMPLY asking
a return for favors already bestowed;
they elected these men to office, and
any impotence or proud contumely
would be very ungrateful, to say the
least OF it. On the other hand, when
these officials have done the very
best they can, then those who are
disappointed must not chafe under
it; they should be philosophers, not
sore heads. A man who will kick
himself out OF the party because he
.,SStlet-get an office, is very man who
1T entitled to an Office. 1t will be
lutely impossible for every man
ftbat he wants, and the man
fr01, Aft should be cOnsoled by
