As an illustration of this constant anx.
iety OF artists concerning their powers,
Mrs. Reeves told Inc of one famous prima
donna who actually refused to sit down
at all on the day when she was to sing.
'She would walk about the room. talK-
ing perhaps, singing perhaps; sometimes
but never by any chance taking a seat.
Why, 1 remember well enough how one
day, on the morning of performance,
Jenny Lind, MIR. Reeves, Mr.. Gold
schmidt, Jenny's husband, and myself
were In the room, and through the morn
ing Jenny Lind and my husband were
never still, pacing one past the other,
with music In hand. singing and practic-
ing, and intent on the work before them.
why, Jenny said Mr.. Goldschmidt,
there is no need for all this. You must
have sung those songs many times" But
the remembrance was In vain. "You are
fine musician said Jenny, In her
quiet, decisive manner to her husband,
"but Mr.. Reeves and / are singers, and
we know what Is best for us. Leave us
alone" Suppose you called to see Jenny
Lind on day when she was singing.
She would probably come into the room
with bundle Of music In her hand, put
1t on a chair, and sit down ON 1t, talk
away pleasantly enough for few min
utes, turn to passage in one OF the
pieces and hum IL over. Having satisfied
herself OF her correctness, she would re.
place 10, and sit kdown again as calmly
as possible, and resume the conversation
at the point It was left or.

there was a great outcry against for

some vehemence on the subject. "It Ia

coming upward. 81 keep a shop-you
ask me for twenty-five yards OF silk and

over and over again I have been COM
PEELED to give enoores, because the house
has refused to hear any one else, and the
sound OF Misses, the groans, and the cat
calls have come down to me In our
private room." Then. changing the sub
ject. he said: "The present age is wit

are too eager TO pose before the public

ciency. They do not study long enough.
Besides, the world is overrun by that pest

dramatic situations, the story Is thrillin-
the stage settings appropriate and the
thread OF comedy is not missing from the
tangled skein which is SO happily un-
wound at the end. 1t is story OF the
Irish rebellion OF 179s with all of the op-
portunities afforded b, that historic en-
deavor of the Irish people TO free them
selves from England's rule improved by
the author. Mack is the leader of the re-
bellion and the hero OF the piece. There
are of course other rebels, many quaint
characters who contribute their mite to-
wards the development of the tale,
heroine, Josephine Lovett, to whom the
hero makes love prettily, and last,
though by..no means least, the villain
who OF course wears one Of King Georges
red coats and who is foiled In the end.
The interesting thing about the play
last night was the intense earnestness
with which 1t was followed by the great
er portion of the audience. Irish heroes
and Ireland's woes when shown upon the
stage seem more real to many people than
do the troubles OF other heroes, and woes
of other Elands, and 1t is because Andrew
Mack makes such capital Irish lover
and hero of the old school that he is so
popular, He sings some pretty songs too
at intervals during the evening and never
fails to be encored for them.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.

ANDREW MACK IN THE REBEL.
Andrew Mack In the Irish military
melo-drama. The Rebel, broke all records
at the Jefferson theatre last night at the
prices which were charged. 1t is often
said "that standing room was ct premi-
um'' and sometimes this expression is an
exaggeration, but last night 1t was abso-
lutely true. There was not seat to be
had in the theatre at fiye O'Clock in the
afternoon, and when the curtain went up
on the first act there were hundreds Of
men and women forced to stand. This
was even true OF the balconies while for
the first time In many months the upper
balcony or peanut" box was encroached
upon by women who were unable TO find
seats elsewhere. And those who were
forced TO stand testified to the interest
aroused In them by this strong piecs by
remaining until the very end Of the play.

WHO Is HEIR TO GOODWIN
PROPERTY.

Biddeford, November ia sequence
to the Champion murder involves an in
tricate legal complication. 1t is who IL
heir to the property of George Goodwin,
one OF the victims which amounts to
from $1,000 to s12, 600 Goodwin had BROTH
ers and sisters living and SCOTT Jordan,
his adopted son, had sister who was
adopted into another family II George
Jordan was killed first the property goes
TO his son, Scott, whose heir would be
his sister. If however the adopted son
was killed first then the property y belongs
to the brothers and sisters of the late MIR.
Goodwin senior.
The assumption has been all along that
Champion killed Mrs. Horne and Farmer
Goodwin first, and then waited for Scott
Goodwin and the hired man Bertsch to
return home when he killed the two, one
after the other. This is merely theory,
however, and not proof.

Georgetown, KY. Oct. 21.-The jury
In the case of Henry Youtsey, on trial
on the charge Of being principal
in the Goebel assassination, returned
verdict of guilty. and fixing the
penalty at life Imprisonment.
When the jury was called Judge
Cantrill asked Gentlemen, have you
made a verdict?"
The foreman, Il. ii. McCabe, nodded
his head.
Pass up the papers to the clerk"
said the judge.
The sheriff passed them up, and
the clerk read the following:
1--WE, the jury, find the defendant
guilty, and fix his punishment at con-
inemcnt in the penitentiary for life"
Gentlemen, is that your verdict?"
asked the Judge:
The jury was then discharged, and
the trial was at an end.
1t was learned from one of the
jurymen that no ballot was taken
Friday night. and that the vote was
unanimous that Youtsey was guilty,
then the degree of punishment was
fixed.
The defense filed their motion for
an arrest of judgment, and Judge
Cantrill set the time for hearing on
the second day of the February term.
Youtscy will not be sentenced before
that time. Youtsey will be taken to
the Frankfort Jail for safe-keeping.

Washington, Oct. a3.-The news Of
Mr.. Sherman's death was immediate.
~ communicated to the president,
who had been extremely solicituous
as TO his former premier's condition
The last word previous to the an
nouncement of Mr.. Sherman's death
had been received by the president at
midnight. The president was greatly
affected by the news. He Immediate
ly directed that the White House be
closed TO visitors and the flag over the
executive mansion placed at half
mast. After ordering some beautiful
flowers to be sent from the White
House conservatory he went in per-
son to Mr.. Sherman's late residence
to express his grief and offer what
consolation he could to the bereaved
family. Mrs. McCallum informed him
of the funeral arrangements and the
president decided not TO delay his de-
parture for Canton, but to attend the
funeral services at Mansfield on
Thursday. Mrs. Mckinley later drove
to the Sherman residence and left her
card. 1t is probable that the presi-
dent Will issue an executive order
closing the departments on the day
of the funeral as a mark of respect to
the dead statesman.
