A Queer Divorce Suit.
After the jury in tlio Clirislie-Ujimpbell
case lind retired in the district court Into
yesterday nftornoon the iilvorco suit
of Dnwson vs Dnwson wns called by
Jtulgu Wukoley. Only a. very few wore
present in tlio court room , nnd so n num
ber of embarrassing situations in which
tlio counsel for tlio prosecution found
himself were not witnessed by many pee
ple. Alice Dawson was the plaintiff , and
us the defendant , William W. Dawson , is
n [ .non-resident , notice of the suit was
served by publication.
"Lot's sno your nflldnvlt of publica
tion , " said Judge Wnkoley.
The lawyer ( irow fortli the paper nnd
presented It to tlio judge , who gazed at it
long and carefully.
"I can't read itj" his honor finally ex
claimed ; "read it to mo. "
" 1 can't make it out very good myself -
self , " responded thoaUornoy.ntlor glanc
ing slowly over the paper.
"Well , I suppose you liavo a copy of
the publication r"
"By Jove , I forgot all about it , " stam
mered the evidently discomfited law
yer. "But I can got ono. "
"Wluit paper was it printed in , young
man ? "
"It was in the Swedish paper , I think. "
replied the legal liglit , as ho dropped his
eyes on the lloor.
"Do you mean to say you had it printed
in Swedish ? " said Judge Wnkoloy , em-
phusi/.ing his words and a dangerous
gleam lighting his oycs.
"Oh , no , your honor ; it was in English ,
but was in a Swede paper.
"Well , then , bring in your evidence ,
and bo sure you lind a copy of that no
tice , " replied the court.
Mrs. Dawson was accordingly sworn
and tostilied that slio was married to tlio
defendant March 88Sr \ , and that after
living together less than two weeks , ho
left her and she had not scon him sinco.
She had known Dawson two
months before the marriage , and
ho had told her that ho was
rich and would give her an elegant homo.
She didn't believe him until ho sent a
clairvoyant to her who , while in a trance ,
told her that Dawson was worth $00,000 ,
ana if she married him her life would bo
the acme of bliss and happiness. This
revelation from the spirit land decided
her , and the marriage followed. She
soon discovered , however , that instead of
being rich Dawson was a common stone
mason , and that he was married in a bor
rowed suit of clothes. When ho went
away he promised to send for her , but ho
had never done so. Thoground'on which
she asked for divorce was non-support.
.fudge Wakoloy , after hearing the ovi-
denee , said ho would not grant tlio decree
at present , but would take the matter un
der advisement and wait until he saw the
notice by publication and could read the
ailidavit.
Dentil of Col. Smytlio.
Col. E. F. Smytho , ono of the b'cst ,
known lawyers of 'the1 Douglas county
bar. died at his residence on Farnam
street last night , shortly after 11 o'clock ,
after a brief illness , of congestion of the
brain. Not until the last two days was
his sickness considered dangerous , and
the news of his death will be a shock to
the community nt largo. Only a few
days have elapsed since ho was on the
street greeting his friends , and but three
weetts ago ho made a gallant defense of
Powell , the slayer of Charles Leslie , in
the district court. At that time ho ap
peared in hotter health than for many
months , and his closing address to tlio
jury was considered one of the best
oilbrts of his life.
Col. Smytlio has been a prominent fig
ure in Omaha for lifteon years , comiii" to
this city in 1871. Ho immediately began
the practice of his profession with remarkable -
markablo success. At the time of his
death he probably hail more cases pend
ing in the district court than any ono law
yer of the Douglas county bar. Ho was
born in Kingston , N. it , Sept. 10 , 1811) ) ,
and was , therefore , at the time of his
death aged 87 years , 0 months amlTdaj's.
When thirteen years of ago ho entered
the army , and served three years in the
Eighth Now Hampshire regiment. In
1870 ho was married in Omaha to Mis.s
Lottie A. Lowe , daughter of the late Jesse
Lowe , who , with one child , Edith A. , sur
vives him.
Criminal Cases.
The trial of Thomas Carrel , charged
with assault with intent to kill , will bo
begun in the district court this morning.
Several months ago , in a drunken quar
rel with Frank McCJean , Carrel drew his
revolver anil lircd at him. The bullet ,
however , inllietcd nothing more than a
scnli ) wound , from the ollects of which
McLleau BOOH recovered. Since that
time both men have been very reticent in
regard to the manner in which the shoot
ing occurred and the way In which the
quarrel arose.
The trial of James H. Campbell and
James Christie , indicted for highway
robbery , David Shields being the victim ,
was concluded before Judge Wakoloy
jobterday afternoon and given to the
jury. After two hours deliberating a ver
dict was returned acquitting Christie and
Undine Campbell guilty of simple as
sault.
A ninclc Htnbbor Discharged.
The long deferred examination of the
negro Ike Glover who stabbed his White
mistress , Myrtle Grunt , was held in police
court yesterday afternoon. The Injured
woman was aolo to bo present , although
palo and almost bloodless from the eflccts
of the terrible cut. She was placed upon
the stand and swore positively that
( Jlovcr did not do the stabbing , but that
she tripped and fell upon the knlfo. As
no ono saw the affair except the two
principals , there was no evidence to hold
the negro and ho was discharged , Judge
Stonborg , however , warned the prisoner
that in cose of any further ditllculty be
tween him and the woman ho would bo
summarily arrested and given punish
ment to the full extent of the law.
Knocked Out With a Hummer.
Bill Davis is a young man of brawn and
musslo who yesterday put his powers to
u very poor uso. While intoxicated ho
entered Dennett's blacksmith shop on
Thirteenth streot'and attacked the pro
prietor to savagely that the latter was
forced to strike him with n hammer. The
blood spurted freely , but Davis would
not give in until Ofliccr Alurphy arrived
and placed him under arrest. Ho was
taken to the central police station and
locked up.

meal that it would be hard to bo thank
ful for.

Baltimore Smis Count Xicliy has only
ono arm , and 54 tho'grcatost living pian
ist , with the solo I'xeeption ' , perhaps , of
his countryman nnil , teacher , Abbo Franz
Liszt. The count was born in Hungary
in 1810 , and from 'childhood ' evinced a
marked taste for music nnd poetry.
When a boy ho made verses and played
on the violin. He Ihingined that ho saw
visions , and evert composed serenades for
thorn. Ills father placed him under the
care of a music teacher , but ho did not
make much progress , At last the teacher
vjsitod the father and sadly remarked ,
"That boy of yours has nn excellent
right hand but his left will never amount
to anything. " Never was a prophecy
more strikingly falsified. When fourteen -
teen years of ago the count lost his right
arm by an accident while hunting. His
physicians forbade him pursuing any
physical or intellectual work for some
time after the amputation. The count
chafed under this enforced Inactivity for
a time , and finally ono day ho handed his
tutor n scaled note with instructions not
to open it for a year. The note when
opened read as follows : "If within a year
from this date 1 can not do with mv loft
hand everything that other people do
with both hands 1 will blow my brains
out. "
The young count sot to work resolutely
to carry out the resolve. Ho refused to
cat any meat unless it was cut with his
own hand , or any fruits unless ho peeled
them himself , and ho even let his nails
grow till ho could pare thorn. At the
end of three months ho was able to drive
his horses , handle the oar , fence like an
athclct and hunt like n Nimrod. Ho soon
resumed his musical exorcises , but was
compelled to substitute the piano for the
yiolin. Meantime ho studied law and
devoted a portion of his spare hours to
light lltoraturo. Ho was fond of the
theatre , and wrote lour comedies , which
were played at u theatre in Buda-Pcsth.
and published several romances and
two small volumes of lyric poems.
One day the famous Abbe Liszt heard the
one-armed youth practicing on the piano
alone in his room. The master listened
for a time witli rapt attention , and then
stealing on tiptoe to the boy's presence ,
stooped down and kissed him on tlio
forehead , exclaiming , "Young man , you
will bo without a rival I Tu Mareollus
oris. " Zichy nt once became Liszt's pu
pil , nnd remainued under the instruction
'of the great master for six years. Liszt
taught his pupil to substitute his thumb
for his right hand in playing the piano.
But tlio master afterwards declared
that "ho did not then dream his pupil
would over succeed in executing tlio
chromatic scale , or making tiger bounds
of five and six octaves by the use of his
thumb " After his six '
years' practice un
der Liszt , Count Zichy entered on his
publics career. His first appearance was
at Vienna , where the celebrated critic

dreds of thousands of dollars for the poor
of all countries' A , " lady , referring to
Count Zichy's infirmity , exclaimed ono
day in the hearing , of Liszt : "The poor
man ! How I pity hiinl" "Pity him/ ' re
plied the mastei'i "nbt nt nil , madame ;
but his piano is'to bd'pitied ' , and the people
ple who never heard him play is still more
so. " The counlis ] ajbapital shot , and has

ARTIFICIAL .EYES.
Ono Person Out of Every Thousand
Has Probably tiost Ills Visual
Organ.
Chicago News : "Among several
thousand of these artificial eyes there
arc hardly two which are alike in size
and color"said a prominent manufac
turer on South Clark street and a former
pupil of Dr. Boisenneau.of Paris , Franco ,
the inventor of an improvement in ar
tificial eyes , to a Daily News rep orter.
' 'People speak of glass eyes they are
made for animals and birds , to be used
by taxidermists but oycs tor humans are
madp of enamel , variously colored , ex
cepting the outer transparent part , or
cornea , which is of crystal.
"in olden times golden plates were
used , and oven now , in some parts of the
old world , silver plates are often em
ployed. You will observe that these
eyes are hollowed. This surprises some
people , win ? imagine that they are round
and solid like marbles.
"When an eye is diseased , Its compan
ion is liable to suffer throuirh sympathy ,
and the removal of the former is imper
ative. It is probably a reasonable esti
mate that one person out of every thou
sand has lost'im eye. In about half the
cases the eye is entirely removed , and in
tlio remainder an operation is performed ,
the conjunctiva being divided and the
natural muscles loft to control the arti
ficial eye , or , as in accidents , the
vitreous humor exudes from the eye ,
leaving a stum ) ) which receives the en
amel. In thcso latter cas.es the artificial
eye will move similarly tothe good eye ,
and the movements of the eyelids aid
further in making the appearance
natural.
"The material is obtained direct from
Paris , and the process of making is , of
course , a secret , but the eyes can not
bo molded. They are usually made to
order , several being manufactured , from
which the one best suited to the customer
Is selected. The remainder are thrown
into stockwhich accounts lor the fact that
no two are alike. The eyes in stock are
sold to the general trade In collections of
fifty , a hundred , or more. Where par
ties out of the city want , eyes they are
usually sent a case of fifty to boloct ono
from , the rest being returned. This
house and ono in Now York city are the
only ones manufacturing artificial eyes
In this country , , bijt there are several
such concerns ind'uris. Wo do a busi-
ne.ss of probably f 10,000 annually , o
charges being $ JO * for nn eye , or $15 If
made to order. , .I -r
"People can often ibo fitted from stock ,
but they will cOito Irtmdrcds of miles to
be fitted exactly , wifji respect to cavity ,
color , blood veiselHy etc. Sometimes a
customer will take an eye of n different
color from the jl tiM ! one , and I have

lation of tlio ptfpllHtioroforo , the punll is
made of medium size. But there nave
been fashionablTd million who have or
dered an eye for difr time and a different
ono for night ono with a mnnll and the
other u largo pupil.
"Some people have queer notions
about artificial oycs and inquire in all
seriousness if they can see with them.
A notorious Chicago darky , who was
fitted with an eye , luul his imagination
so worked up that he insisted he could
see with it , and another negro , in New
Now Orleans , said all his friends believed
ho saw with hio enamel oyo. A country
man once came in to have his eye
changed for ono with more expression a
manifest absurdity.
I had a customer who successfully pur
sued the vocation of a thief by menus of
an artificial eye , When he stole he was
a one-eyed man , and immediately after
ward appeared with apparently two
good oycs. Ho escaped detection for a
long time. . And , speaking-of theft , wo
had our entire stock1 'of. COO eyes stolen
before thn great lire uy Dick'Lane , the
noted criminal , now serving a term In

Eyes were higher then , uud the lot was.

about the country as nn oculist , nnd had
sold all the oycs before ho was captured. "
DREAMS.
The Variety of ICxpcrlcnco and Rcon *
omy In Time They Furnish ,
Chicago Herald : What I like as much
as anything else about dreams is
their spicy variety. You can't always
do as you please In n dream , but you can
do everything else , and the scenes Shift
so often that you ilon't have time to tire
of any one of thorn ; then , too , you can bo
so many things in a dream.
I happen to remember ono dream I had
the other night while trying to sleep oft"a
late terrapin supper. 1 thought 1 was
the treasurer of a ' 'rent theater and stood
in the box olllco selling scats and taking
In dollars by the thousands. There was
a great crowd surging outside , some of
the people trying to get to the ticket win
dow , others pushing and elbowing their
way toward the entrance In a manner
ruilo enough to bo quite life-like. All at
once a masked robber jumped out from
behind a tree , grabbed my horse by the
bit , and intimated to mo in nmostungcn-
tlemanly manner that my longevity depended
ponded somewhat on the promptness
with which 1 surrendered my valuables.
I was trying to argue the case with him
when the conductor came through the
train and said that the engine had sud
denly changed its course and that wo
were running In a perpendicular
direction , but that wo were scooting
along at the schedule rate of
speed , and would probably fetch up
somewhere or other at some time or
other. While I was tiring myself trying
to make him understand that if the en
gine were reversed wo would naturally
enough run down again , the big , red
faced boatswain came staggering into the
cabin to tell us that the crew had mu
tinied and cutoff his head down in the
forecastle , and was now engaged in tlio
not wholly laudable occupation of throwIng -
Ing the steerage D.issengcrs overboard
into the sea. This frightened mo so that
I ran out to the barn nnd began hitching
my oat bin nnd my feeding barrel to my
landau sleigh for some purpose which
slipped out of my mind just before it got
into it , and I awoke with a feeling that
my ambition would have been more
nearly satisfied if I could only have
figured out what I was probably going to
do when 1 got this remarkable team har
nessed nnd hitched. Still incomplete as
the experience was , I hold that any man
who wants more of it in the same length
of time ought to take his meals from n
trough and run down to the sea in droves
and do divers other things btiitablo and
Croperly appertaining to his race and
reed.
Another thing that I like about dreams
is their industry and economy. Ono able-
bodied dream can get in more work and
travel further and consume more time to
the minute than all the king's horses and
all the king's men from Pharaoh's day to
Carter Harrison's. I remember falling
out of bed once , and as I did so I thought
1 rolled off the edge of the world. I went
falling around through space for two or
three hundred years , knocking about
among the stars and comets and things ,
never stopping to think whether 1 was
hungry or whether it was just the proper
thing to go visiting all over this uniuerse
and several neighboring ones in my
night clothes. Some way I didn't scorn
to care whether school kept or not. or
whether they taught Latin and Greek in
It if it did keep. After I had sailed
awhile I began to drop , not like Milton's
disappointed god , "from morn till noon
and noon till dewy eve , " but from New
Years till the Fourth of July and from
the Fourth till Christmas , and finally ,
after a few centuries of this depressing
experience I found myself impaled on
one of the five points of n star of the
forty-seventh magnitude , and gradually
came to realize that I had fallen a matter
of two feet and tangled my legs in the
rounds of a chair. Now , there is industry
for you , and great economy of time in
the bargain
Ono would naturally suppose that when
a dream had worked ten or a dozen cen
turies in half a jiffy , it would feel like
laying off u day or two and resting up ,
but it doesn't. I hadn't been asleep two
minutes after crawling back into bed.
when that dream came back and pounced
on mo again and went to work like a boy
carrying water to a circus elephant.
That's the kind of stuff dreams are
made of.
THE PHOTOGRAPH HABIT.
Bill Nye Tells All About It.
No doubt the photograph habit , when
once formed , is one of the most baneful
and productive of the most intense suf
fering in after years of any with which
wo are familiar. Sometimes it seems tome
mo that my whole life has been ono long ,
abject apology for photographs that 1
have shed abroad throughout a distracted
country.
Mini passes through seven distinct
stages of being photographed , each one
exceeding all previous efforts in that
line.
line.First
First ho is photographed as a prattling ,
bald-headed baby , absolutely destitute of
eyes , but making up for this deficiency by
a wealth of mouth that would make a ne
gro minstrel olive green with envy. Wo
often wonder what has given the average
photographer that wild hunted look about
the 03-03 and that joyless sag about the
knees. The chemicals aiu the indoor life
alone have not dona nil this. It is the
great nerve tension and mental strain
used in trying to jtjiotograph a squirming
and dark-red child with white eyes in
such u manner as to please its parents.
An old-fashioned dollar-store album
with colebro-spinal meningitis , anil filled
with pictures of hnlf-Mifibo.itod children
in heavily-starched white dresses , is the
first thing wo seek on entering a homo
and the last thing from which wo reluc
tantly part.
The second stage of the downward
road is the photograph of the boy with
fresh-cropped hair , and in which tlio stiff
and protuberant thumb takes a leading
part.
part.Then follows the portrait of the lad
with strongly marked freckles and a look
of hopeless melancholy. Witli the aid
of a detective agency. 1 liavo succeeded
in running down and destroying several
of these pictures which were attributed
to me ,
Next comes the young man , 21 years of
age , wltn his front imir plastered smoothv !
down over his tender throbbing dome of
thought. He docs not care so much
about the expression on the mobile fea
tures so long as his left hand , with the
now ring on it shows distinctly , and the
string of jingling , jangling charms on
his watch chain , including the cute little
basket cut out of a pencil stone , btands
out well in thd foreground. If the young
man would stop to think for a moment
that some day lie may become eminent
and ashamed of himself , ho would hoai-
tate about doing this. Soon after ho has
a tin typo taken in which a young Judy
sits in tlio alleged grass , while he btands
behind her with his hand lightly touching
herihouldor.as though ho might bo feeling
of the thrilling circumference of n buz/
saw. He carries this picture in his pocket
for months , and looks at it whenever ho
may bo unobserved.
Then , all at oueo , ho discoveis that the
younp lady's hair is not done up that
way any more , and that her hat doesn't
teem to fit her. Ho then , In a fickle
moment , has another tin-typo made , in
which another young woman , with a
more recent hat and later coiffure. Is dis
covered holding his hat in her lap.
The thing continues till one day ho
come ? into the btiulio with his wife , and
tries to see how many children can bo
photographed onlone negative by holding
ono on each knee , and usiiig iho other
oho as a background.
The last stage in his eventful caveertho
old gentleman allows himself to bo pho
tographed , because ho is afraid ho may
not live through another long , hard win
ter , and the boys would like a picture ol
him while ho is able to climb the dark ,
narrow stairs which lead to the artist's
room.
Sadly tlio thought comes back to you In
after 5'oars , when his grave is green in
Iho ( inlet valley nnd tlio worn nnd weary
hands that hayo toiled for you arc forever
a treat , how patiently ho submitted while
his daughter pinned the clean , stiff , ago-
ni/.ing white collar about his neck and
brushed the little Hakes of "dander" from
the velvet collar of his best coat ; how ho
lolled up Iho long , dark , lonesome stairs ,
not with the egotism of n half century
ago. but with the llcht of anticipated rest
nt last in his eye , obediently us he would
go to tlio dingy law oilleo to have his will
drawn , ho meekly leaves the outlines of
his kind old face for those ho loved and
tor whom ho has &o long , labored.
It Is a picture at which the thoughtless
may smile , but it it is full of pathos , and
eloquent for those who know him best.
His attitude Is still' , and his coat bunches
up in thn back , but his kind old heart
assorts Itself in the gentle oycs , and when
ho has gene away at last wo do not cnt-
ieiso the picture any moro , but beyond
the old coat that bunches up In the back ,
nnd that lasted him so long , wo read the
history of a noble life.
Silently the old finger-marked album ,
lying so unostentatiously on the gouty
centre-table , points out the mile-stones
from infancy to old ago , and back of the
mistakes of a struggling photographer
are portrayed the laughter and the tears ,
the joy ana the grief , the dimples and
gray hairs of ono man's lifetime.
