REALISTIC

Actors frequently receive unexpect-
ed proof of the realism of their art.
This story, which is reported from a
Chicago theater, is like the story OF
the artist who painted a fire so vivid
ly that his servant threw water on it.
Hamlet was the play. In the gal
lery two small newsboys were watch
ing with GREATNESS interest. The
last act was drawing TO a close. The
duel almost dragged the boys from
their chair
Before their eyes the queen was
poisoned, Hamlet killed. On the final
tragedy The curtain started down.
The audience was spellbound.
In the gallery sounded a clatter and
crash as one Of the Toys bolted for
the door.
Come on, Jimmy" he shouted
back to his pal" Hustle up, Dey1l
be extras out on dis"
To him the acting had been at least
as real as news.--Youth's Companion.

New York Times. II was generally
believed that when Mrs John C. Kealy

area, and that the United States gov.
eminent had full swing to carry on it's

tenant by sufferance on the grounds
of the academy, although not reduced
by the lowest depths of poverty, waE
United States sailor during the civil
war, and performed feat of splendid
daring and courage, which was recog
nized by the government and a medal
commemorative of il bestowed upon
him
The feat took place during the
blockade of Charleston S. c., by the
federal fleet. Some United States
vessels, the largest of which was the
Miantonomoh, upon which Jackson
was a sailor, had crossed the bar into
the harbor, and could only retraes
their steps. by the same narrow chan
mel by which they had come. The
coniederates in the shore batteries
discovered this, and as the tide was AT
food they launched three torpedoUs
chained together. so as to float down
on the federal ships and destroy thew.
The torpedoes were the kind which ex4
ploded on contact with some object.
Jackson volunteered to swim toward
the torpedoes and unscrew the cap
which was intended to explode tfrs NJ

Jackson is a fisherman, but not

now entirely without resources. When
the order came for the removal of the

METHODS OF SLEEPING CURE"
A Cure" Now in High Favor
Abroad.

Medical Record-As long ago as
1883 DR.. J. Leonard Corning of New
York brought forward this plan OF
managing functional nervous disorders
in a monograph entitled Brain Rest,
la DiSquisiuon on the Curative
Properties of Prolonged Sleep" and in
a subsequent edition, published in
1855, the whole matter Of practical
management was elaborated to the
last detail. DR., Corning observes that
las applied to the brain, rest impl es
something totally different from that
which is described by the term when
used in connection with the muscle,
joint or spinal cord This radical
difference is chiefly owing to the fact
that the brain being the organ of the
intellectual processes, rest, in SO far
as it concerns that organ, means moth

ton, with all thereby implied II is
! impossible by mere fiat Of the will
to cause cessation of thought; the

stood is itself a product Of very com
plicated intellection, and cannot,
/ therefore, be regarded as a thing Sun
generis-a something without the pale
of other psychical processes" Only
during sleep is the IDEAL repose OF the
cerebral faculties realized. But, while
q physiological amount of sleep is
sufficient to achieve this in health the
period of unconscious repcse must be
greatly augmented when by over
taxation or inerdinate mental strain
the nerve cell has become devitalized
and is no longer able TO hoard up a
sufficient store of energy during the
usual period of Inconsistencies. II
is in such cases that prolonged sleep,
Il sleep continued for 10, 10 or even 90
hours, at 2 time, achieves the most
striking results.

Smith home, where ne had formerly re-
sided. Jackson had cOnnded the story
of his heart burden and the black hope
lessness of the future that the cards
had unfOlded. Jackson had often read
the cards for his friends. They thought
it was merely pastime. To him it was
all too serious.
He Believed so firmly the warnings
that he conveyed them to his intimate
friend Ravens, the bridegroom. To him
Jackson wrote, and the note was found
among his effects, as follows:
Girard-Whatever you do, don't fail 70 see
me tonight. 1t is to decide whether you are
to be happy or not for life. I can fix it for
you.
That summons Ravens did not re-
eeive- 1t is supposed Jackson had a
message to deliver which he thought
would bear upon the future of his
friend
Evidence was found, also. OF Jack
sons state of mind in another note he
had written, evidently not long before
he took poison. 1t reads as follows:
From F. w Jackson:
This life is but life Of trouble OF sorrow
JOY and Disappointing So to this world I say
goodby, and in the world above we all may
meet again. May God forgive me Tor this
awful crime and may he bless the little girl
love.
That Jackson should have been so
ardently in love with Mrs. Knuth is
considered almost unsxplainable by his
friends. The little girl" as he affec-
tionately proclaims her, is possessed
of no physical charms. She is a hunch-
back and dwarfed. Despite this the
man, by every word and action, evil
denced his wild desire to win the
woman. In failure he sought surcease
in death.
Two months ago Knuth and his
wife quarreled and the husband left
About that time Jackson tried to com
nit suicide by drinking carbolic acid
Dependency over the woman was
given as the cause.
Jackson was q years old, a native Of
Canada. He had served in the Phil
ippines in the United States army.
An autopsy confirmed the SUPPOSE
ton that Jackson had taken strych-
nine, and the Coroner's jury tonight
rendered a verdict of suicide by
strychnine poisoning.

OAKLAND, Sept. 22.-Under the spell
of morbid infatuation for woman
who was the wife of another man, and
believing that fate had doomed him
never to win the object of his love,
Frederick w. jackson, a perfumery
salesman, committed suicide at 1920
o'clock this morning by taking strych-
nine at the corner of Alice and Sec

after he took the poison before he sue

ceiving Hospital. but died while in the
physicians hands.
Last night the respondent man was
attendant upon Girard Ravens at his
wedding to Julia Smith, sister to Mrs.
Anie Knuth, the woman with whom
Jackson was in love. The marriage
was celebrated at the Smith home, 654
Jackson street. During the festivities
Jackson tried to kiss Mrs. Knuth.
She repealed him. This morning he
returned to the house and again at
tempted to embrace the woman. Again
she repulsed the strangely persistent
admirer.
jackson departed and within a half
hour had taken the fatal drug at
place hardly a block distant from the
Smith house.
Linked with Jackson's disappoint-
ment of the heart is the story of his
appeal to the mysteries of the cards
for a solution of his troubles. Jackson
was devotee of the mystic art He
believed in fortune tellers' revelations.
He professed to know the hidden Sc
crets that were yelled to ordinary NOR
tails. And to these uncanny oracles
he had conceived, in seething tur-
moil of mental stress the melancholy
lover hearkened.
All this was disclosed to-day by
Frank Ryan, a deputy constable, with
whom Jackson had of late lived at
