Playing Wagner Upside Down.

A London paper tells a story Of Wag-
ner in the days Of his youth and power
ty calling upon Rossini in Paris and
noticing "a little composition" Of his
own on the piano rack. The reply Of
Rossini when it was pointed out to him
that the music was upside down was
perhaps hardly up to the best form Of
'the polite ~Frenchman." You see, I
found it sounded better that way"
Bill Nye's compliment TO Wagner
was in a happier vein. He told the
great composer that he had no doubt
his music was really much better than
it sounded-London Speaker.

When Gone Does Not Need Sympathy

Senator William NJ. Stewart looks like
King Solomon, but some people have
been reluctant to admit that he pos
scsses much of Solomon's wisdom. We
must insist. however, that Senator
Stewart can say wise things. In a de-
bate a few days ago he raised his good
right hand, permitted his long, white
whiskers to fall in graceful abandon
down over his chest II stomach. and
said:
You folks waste a lot of sympathy
on Nevada. Don't do it. Nevada has
money, and 1 say to you, Mr.. presi-
dent, when you have money you don't
need sympathy"
This, Notwithstanding the tact, that
the Hon William E. Mason has risen
upon several occasions, is probably the
wisest utterance that has ~reverberated
through the senate chamber during the
present session.-Chicago Herald-Rec-

knife and nearly killed yesterday
morning by his wife. Mary Scott.

Grated on at once. The woman was ar
resSed by Deputy Sheriff Sweeney and
locked up in the county Jail on a war
rant sworn out before Justice /. R.
Nathans. charging her with assault
with intent to murder.
The wound is an ugly one. The
knife with which it was inflicted is an
ordinary pocket knife with blade
perhaps two and a half inches in
length, but had been newly sharpened
to the fineness of a razor's edge. With
it she swung at her hubby. giving him
a cash on the outer part of the left
arm and cutting through the clothing
and through the flesh into the cavity
under the ribs on the left side, and
penetrating the spleen part of which
projected through the opening.
The wounded man was attended by
DR.. Bleakeney of Pooler, who found
his injuries such that he directed his
removal to the hospital. Ee was taken
at once to the infirmary. and there ii
is said that he is in less danger than
was at first apparent.
Officer Sweeny went after the wo-
man and brought her to jail in the
afternoon. She was sulen and refus-
ed to talk. When questioned she shut
up and declined TO say anything about
the affair

Ilfred Robinder. made application for
letters of temporary administration,
and they were granted. He then went
across the street and drew from bank

had passed when he applied for letters

the ordinary, who from the time when

Judge Barrow held yesterday that
the Mayor of the town of Warsaw,
commonly known as Thunderbolt, act
ed without authority in committing to
the county Jail Abram Stewart the
negro who a short time ago was fin
ed by the Thunderbolt Mayor for acts
of disorder committed on a colored-
peoples excursion.
Judge Barrow stated in his order
that the town of Warsaw having
place in which persons convicted of of
lenses committed within its corporate
limits are to be confined, and having
a changing of its own, there was no
occasion for sending the prisoner to
the county Jail or to the county chain
gang.
He directed Sheriff Schwarz to sur
render the negro to the Mayor os
Thunderbolt The negro was then in
the county Jail, having been placed
there from the convict farm under the
habeas corpus proceeding instituted on
the day before. He was at once deliv-
cred to the Thunderbolt authorities.
and it is probable that unless the cues
ton of the jurisdiction of the court on
the former trial is attacked he will be
put on the changing there to work
out his sentence. He was represent
