The announcement that Jules Verne. the great scientific dreamer, lies at the point of death at Amiens, is sad news to thousands who now look back upon those verdant days of youth when they whiled away pleasant hours in company with Captain Memo on board the Nau- illus Jules Verne has written many stories, all of them bearing the stamp of his genius, but he has never sur passed that incomparable narrative, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea- The 'old boy who has never fallen under the spell of that book Is doubly unfortunate. He has missed almost as much in life as the man who failed to read From Sawyer and "Huckleberry Finn" Many of the prophetic dreams of Jules Verne have been realized, but even If he had turned his enormous scientific knowledge to weaving fanci- full tales without a purpose he would de- serve to rank as one of the greatest TO- mancers of modern times. He stands unique in the world of fiction and occu- pies a field peculiarly his own.

One of the prettiest bits of stage craft that distinguished Otis sxinner's produce tion of "The Harvester" at the Jefferson Tuesday night was his descent from a garden wall by swinging down from the bough of a peach tree all in bloom. The limb bent gracefully beneath MT Skinner's weight and when released shot up again, showering the actor with pink blossoms. The incident was so prettily arranged and so cleverly done that spontaneous applause burst forth from the audience However, it was but an incident in succession of beau tiful stage pictures.

Millionaire Nelson proceeds to state that in whatever way you may view the matter, being very rich is poor business. and without any real pleasure for the unfortunates burdened with such rub bish as stocks and bonds, gold, silver and specie. He advises the opulent to try living in a room which costs $1 per week and dining on breakfasts that call for an outlay of 10 cents for eacn meal. Of course there will be a great rush among the countrys millionaires to fol- low MT. Nelson's advice All our million aires are itching" to get rid of their money and lead the simple life, but they are driven to the daily pursuit of dollars because to him who hath shall be given and they cannot get from out the golden shower That Is the way MT. Nelson looks at wealth. Riches just pile up on a fellow until his back aches under the load and he would give anything to be rid of the Midas touch. MT Nelson is an interesting talker rather original in his views and a great philanthropist, but we observe that he is not residing in one of those cheap rooms. While such talk is always interesting nearly everybody would like tc experience the woes of having too muck wealth.

Byron a Tragic Figure.

''The moro / think of Byron"
says John Davidson in thelLondon
Outlook, S'the more clearit becomes
to me that he is, first, second and
third, a tragic figure. He was the
child Of loveless marriage, that
constant source Of huge armies of
discordant natures. His upbringing
was tragic, his marriage was tragic,
his loves were tragic, his death,
which at first l thought only tragic
force, is actual tragedy Byron and
Napoleon, contemporaries, we're the
analogues and compliments of each
other. Byron is the passive tragedy
of the imaginative temperament as
poet, using expression. Napoleon is
the active tragedy Of the imagina-
tive temperament as warrior and
world compeller, employing deeds.
Byron inevitably ends in an abor-
tive attempt at action in Greece.
Napoleon, as inevitably in an ahor.
tive attempts at expression (the die.
tated memoirs) in st. Helena"
