A GLIMPSE OF TURNER.
IntroducinE an Incldent That sug-
seated One of His Great Pictures.

It was friend OF Ruskin's mother,
Mrs. John Simon, who told the story.
She was travelling by night in the early
days of the Great Western railway from
Plymouth to London:
When had taken off my cloak and
smoothed my plumes and generally set
tied myself, looked up to see the most
wonderful eyes ever saw steadily, lumi-
nously, clairvoyantly, kindly, paternally
looking at me. The hat was over the
forehead, the mouth and chin buried in
the brown velvet coat collar OF the brown
greatcoat. Well, we went on, and the
storm went on more and more, until we
reached Bristol, to wait ten minutes.
My old gentleman rubbed the side win
dow with his coat cuff in vain, attacked
the center window. again in vain, SO blur
red and blotted was it with the torrents
of rain. A moments hesitation and

half opened the window for me to see.
Such sight, such chaos OF elemental.
and artificial lights and noises. never

! He drew up the window MS we moved on
and then leaned back with closed eyes
for dare say ten minutes. then opened
4 them and said:
...Well?'
II said. I've been '.drenched." but it's
worth it,
He nodded and smiled and again took

Many people believe it direct response
to his prayer.
Mr.. Dixon, when he heard of it, said:
"Now, Lord, il it be Thy will, let the

"The Queen of Chinatown"

At the Grand opera house on Monday
evening will be offered a decided novelty
and success In THE Queen of China
town" with its powerful cast and strik
ing scenic pictures. The action takes
place in the Chinese section of New
York city, and the story holds the at
tention OF the audience throughout the
entire four acts, while constant flow
of comedy serves to relieve the tension
to which the spectators are wrought up.
Joseph Jarrow, the author, has drawn
his ideas for the plot from study of
Mongolian life in New York city and it
deals with the abduction of a pretty
mission teacher by Celestial high binders
and the efforts of her lover, friends and
relatives to find her. The sensations
include raid on an opium joint, a fight
with fierce and hungry rats, an explo-
sion and fire and thrilling climaxes.
Conspicuous in the strong cast by which
the strange and unfamiliar characters in
The Queen OF Chinatown" are imper-
sonated, is Miss Elma Gillette, to whom
the ttular and leading role has been
assigned. The part is one requiring
both beauty and talent, both of which
Miss Gillette possesses in a marked de-
gree, as her many successes amply prove.

Assault May End In Murder,

Tuesday morning at O'Clock An
thony R. Spudis, a prominent Lithuanian
OF Pittston and well known clothing
merchant, was found on the foot path of
the river bridge at that place. having
been held up and brutally assaulted a
few hours previous. 1t was bold deed
and may result in the second murder for
the upper end of the county within a
few days. The crime was committed by
three men, who, after shooting the mer-
chant, robbed him OF his gold watch and
all the money in his pockets.
MIR. Spudis was at the county seat on
Friday night to attend to some legal
business, which he did not finish in
time to catch the last car. He took the
midnight car on the West Pittston line,
riding as far as Dorranceton, from
where he walked, the car not proceed
ing any further in his direction.
1t was about o'clock a. IN. when he
reached the Ferry bride and had gone
only short distance on his way across
when he was held up by three men,
They asked for cigar, but Spudis re-
piled that he had none. A few more
words passed between them, when
third man, who had crossed from the
other side, drew revolver and fired
directly at Spudis. He fell, and one OF
the men sat on his head and shoulders
while the other two searched his cloth
ing. A gold watch was taken, half of
the chain being left behind. His pocket
book was also relieved of its contents,
which, 1t is said, amounted to only 81. 80.
His assailants departed, leaving him
along the sidewalk. Here he remained
until O'Clock in the morning, although
number OF people had passed during
the several hours intervening. They
evidently thought him drunk and paid
no attention to him
The injured man was removed to his
boarding house and from there to the
Pittston hospital. The wound in the
abdomen is a dangerous one and the
physicians at the hospital have little
hope for his recovery.
