THE DATLY A BAD FATE. Death”of Emm| ‘erne, the Formo & Wife of Okarles L. Davie, “Alvin oy e Joslin,” in & Leadville Almshouse. No Whiskey! Brown's Iron BirTERS is one of the very few tonic medicines that are not com- posed mostly of alcohol or whiskey, thus becoming a fruitful source of intemper- ance by promoting a desire for rum, Emma Verne, the dlvorced wife i Oharles L, Davis, the actor, dled fu Leadville last Friday morning in the most abject poverty, Her life of r« oent yoars has been a sucocesslon of strange viclssitudes, Not very long ago, under the stage name of Oora Cushman, she was one of the greatest favorites ou the varlety boards. Bhe was youne, pretty In face and figure, and possessed just enough vocal abllity to make her stage appearance a success, She appeared at most of the {eading eastern vaudeville theatres, and waited for engagements, as mana- gers throet them upon her. While enjoying this heydey of professional popularity she metand Immediately fell in love with Charles L. Davis, then & second or third rate varlety perform- er, bat now known to the profession a8 *‘Diamond Charlle,” the man who mede Alvin Joslin and his own for- tuue, Shortly after her first moeting with Davis, Mies Oushman married him, and they traveled the circuits together as Mr. and Mrs, C L Davis, About this time a new burst upon the theatrical firmament, and a new character was placed before the Amerioan theater going publie. Denman Thompson created Uncle Joshua Whitcomb, and the people went wild over the eccentricities of the New England farmer, The usual army of imitatorssprang up,andamong them Charles L. Davis, He possessed in a certaln degree the qualifications necessasy to @ Interpretation of Thompson's creation, and he manu- factured s play entitled Alvin Joslin, in which he acted the title role, a tol- erable countepart of Uncle Josh., He procured a cheap company, started on the road, and In a short time became wealthy. As his worldly store In- oreased, however, his domestio happi- nens decreased, until at length he and his wife separated by mutual con- sent, He olalmed that she had fallen into dissolute Brown's Iron BITTERS is guaranteed to be a non- intoxicating stimulant, and it will, in nearly every case, take the place of all liquor, and at the same time abso- lutely kill the desire for whiskey and other intoxi- cating beverages. { Rev. G.W. Rick, editor of the American Christian Re- view, says of Brown's Iron Bitters: Cin., 0., Nov. 16, 1881, Gents :—The foolish wast- ing of vital force in business, pleasure, and vicious indul gence of our people, makes your preparation a necessity ; and if applied, will save hun- dreds who resort to saloons for temporary recuperation. Brown's IRoN BITTERS has been thoroughly tested for dyspepsia, indigestion, biliousness, weakness, debil- ity, overwork, rheumatism, neuralgia, consumption, liver complaints, kidney troubles, &c., and it never fails to render speedy and permanent relief, y soclally; and she claimed that he cruel 1y ill-treated her. About ttree y ago he procuerd a divorce she drifted westw: She appeared in Leadville as a serlo-comic vocallat about two years ago, under the pro- fenslonal name of Emma Verne, and at the explration of her engagement retarned to Denver. Laat fall she re- vislted Leadvilie and appeared at the Globe theater, but wus discharged for drunkennens, :nd then drifted to a dance hall, whero she acted as barten- der. Two montha ago her paramour, proprietor f the dancing hous her to the Slsters’ hospital, where she 2 | was wreated for inflammatory rhenma- tiem and alcohollsm, Under the kind - | care cf the Slaters the poor unfortu- nato rapidly recovered health and strewgth, and *hree weeks ago she was discharged feom the hospital, with an admonition from the physiclan to ab. staln from dlssipation of any kind if she wished to save her life, Instoad of obeylng the injunction, however, she fell tuwo her old habits and was cast off by the man who had sent her to the hospital, She became an object of charity to her friends, but they suppited her with everything she de- sired--ivcluding iquor —ss they had a premonition that her tenure of life was GOLD MEDAL, PARIS, 1878, BAKER’S CHOCOLATES Raker's Premium Chocolate, the best reparation of plain ehoc: LD o 1 invaluable as & .~ German Sweet Chocolate, a most excellent article for families.

Coal, ore of the leading journals of ractical sclence in "England, makes | known a discovery that, a8 repre- sented, will work as great a revolu- tlon In employment of power as Keely's motor would, were It to do all he promises. The journal in question says: ‘‘A new motor has been discov- ered which, it {s clalmed, will super- sede steam, The material from which the energy is generated is bl-sul- hide of oarbon, which s util. zed as @ motor agent In the form of vapor, and the advantage olaimed for it r steam Is that, while water expands In the ratlo of one cublo inch to 1,700 bl-sulphide of carbon has an expansion property of one to 8,000, When the vapor s gen- erated It passes into the steam chest of the engine and moves the plston rods. A pipe attached to the engine conveys the exhaust vapor directly through a condenser back to the tank in its orlg- Inal liquified form to be generated. The eystem of generation and condensation s simllar to the heat ac- tlon, and, with machinery properly con- structed, it is clalmed that a single Egly of bisulphide of carbon can be with re-enforcements for an In- defiolte perlod.

But 1t may be borne In mind that they arge in thelr defenne that it is the only way to ac- complish their aims In Rossla,. Wa may recall that their organ at the time of the assassination of President Gar- field, uttered this just sentiment: ‘“Where the free will of the people not only presoribes the laws, but choses the administeators, there mur- der, as a weapon In political conflict, 1s as bad as the despotism whoseover— throw is the aim of the Russian revo- lationary party.” As an example of the style of the writer's personal sketches, this of vacob Stefanovie Is glven: “‘Stefsnovic remalned for a whole month in St, Petersburg,. We maw each other very often. I afterwards had many opportunities of seelng him and of becoming acquainted with him, which is the same as saylng of lovln1 him, He is a man of a very original and very complex disposition. He has great foroe of mind and character; one of those who, under rablo ciroumstances, become prophetical. Hao has the extremely rare faculty of understanding how to direct the masees, as he showed at the Cighirino, Bat hls force Is not that which goes straight to its object, as a ball from a cannon, smashing and overthrowing everything that opposeait. No; it {sa force that delights in conoealment, that bends, but only to stand firm again afterward. He s said to be, and s belleved to be, very astute, He 1Is an extremely reserved man, entirely concentrated in him- self. Hespesks little; in public meet- ings nover. He always listens quite doubled up, with his head bent as if asleep. He never enters Into any theoratical disscussion, which he de- spises, and when he 1s compelled to be present at the reading of a ‘programme’ of ‘memorandum’ he sleeps In very truth, and snores loudly, He is & man of actlon, like those wflnn hands itch to be at work, He knows how t: it, He is & man of far reachlog plans; he Isthe finest type of the organizer whom I have ever known. His olear and eminently practical mind, his firm and cautious character, his knowledge of men and the art of dealing with them, which he possesses is marvelous perfection, render him particularly adapted for this highly difficalt office. He isvery skeptleal with regard to men, but at the same time is capable of a friendship which borders on ador- atlon.” Bat besides these glimpses of the characters of prominent leaders in the revolutionary party, the book affords much light on~ several points which have been in controversy. For exam- ple, Stenniak gives no sapport to the oplnlon which the Russian govern- ment protends to hold, that the plots of the nihilists are hatohad among ex- iles in London, Paris, and Geneva, where they are not under the imme- dlate survelllance of the Ruseian police, He glves us to understand, on the contrary, that they are formed {n Rusala, under the eyes of the police, and ind fiance of them. The scheme of the assassination of the czar was not formed by exiles, any more than it was carrled into execation by them, nor did they furnish the funds or the machinery. All those whose connec- tion with the affair has been traced were Russians living in their own country. He takes pains to prodace the lmpression that the active reyolu- ttonary party, those whose exploits have startled the world a=d spread ter- ror through the empire, are mnot a numerous body. He saysthere were but fifteen persons present at the so- called congreas of Lipetek, where the policy of assassluation was first for- mally determined upon, and he con- stantly conveys the idea that the poli- oy is worked by small groups, who oarry into execution thelr own plans. The conspiracy for destroying the emperor's train was the most formid. | P* able In polnt of the numbers con- oerned. The forces of the organiza- tion were too amall for the business, and outsiders were admltted to partic- Ignlon, who, of course, did not know the preolse plans; but the general scheme was so well understood that subscriptions were ralsed almost pub- loly in some places, And toueglng the question of funds, he meets the oplnion that they must be oollected from abroad by deolaring that the smount needed for thelr undertakings {s much less than s commonly sup- &oud. He says that the affair of the oscow mine and two other attempts to destroy the rallways organized for the same month cost onl{ between £3,000 and £4,000, including travel- ing expenses. The attempt to liber- ate one of the prisoners condemned at the trial of ‘‘the 193" was organized on a large scale, and yet, according to the detalled accounts sent to the organization, 1t cost only about §3,000 These nlvelniom h;:l the oolth of con- splracy give new Interest to the ques- tfim: What becomes of all the n?aney raised In this country for the “‘liberation” of Ireland? He tells nu- merous storles of the devotion and self-saorificing spirtt of the revolu. tlonists, and of tne ways in which money is contributed by those who sympathize with the cause, but do not wish to take the risk of making any record that can be traced. He relates the patheto story of Dimitri Lisogub, who was hanged by a mllitary trfbunal at Odossa in 1879. He was a million- afre, owning a large estate in a Rus- sian province, yet he lived like a beg- gor, wearing the scantlest clothing, never riding in an omnibas or cab, in Ing he could save to the revolutionary Stepniak says of him further: “In all our party there was not, and him In ideal beauty ef character, Under an aspect tranquil and placld mind full of fire, enthuslasm, of virtue, His convictious were his religlon, and ho devoted to them not only all his One of the secret printing offices fs l:.loturu which show that the revolutionists have not entirely overmastered the human weakness of fear, and that they sometimes tremble at recognition by those of thelr num- ber who are known to be under sus- plolon and who sometimes have much BEE-~OMAHA TU difficulty In securing a hiding place, This view of the contents of » remark: able book s based upon secounts and extraots In the English papers; but 1t is likely to be republished here, for there can be o question of its deeply Interesting qaalities, ANHEUSER-BUS Brewing Mg —_— A Murderess P.eads Gullty. From the Philadelphia Times, COatharlne Barneson, the school teacher, who shot to death Maggie Ourlett, a school girl of 11, on Jan. 31, pleaded gullty in Jadge Alllson’s court yesterday to s charge of murder. | ° The woman, tall and slender, was|!- Associatio We y Brain Worry, Llood Sores, Bil ¢ Prostration, CELEBRATED dressed slmply in black. Her face was covered w{!h a heavy brown vell. She was almost constantly In tears, snd at times gave way to convalsive sobs. The shootlng took place in front of Miss Burneson’s house. The woman had been annoyed by ohildren in the nelghborhood for two months or more, and on Jan. 31, after having been called tothe window of her house by a noise and insviting remarks, she displayed » pistol to » group of her tormentors, and then fired upon little Maoggle Curlett, who remained stand- ing after the others ran away. The victim had taken no part in the annoy- anoe of Miss Burneson, and had upon that day merely jolned the others in jumplog a rope. < Teatimony was heard to enable the court to fix the decree of crime. Maggie Moore testified that shortly before the shooting she, with [m Fannle Ounningham, Eddie Hawkins and other little companions, were residence | on the opposite slde of thestreet when they saw Loulsa Hawkins and Lizzie Molntyre, children whom they knew, on the other side with a jumping rope. They went over and joined them. They moved upon Hawkins' pavement which adjolned that of Mrs. Burne- son's house., Maggle Oarlett came around the corner with a bucket of asher, which she set down and joined the others in play. Miss Burneson was at her window. Eddie Hawkins, who was 4 or 5 years old, oalled out at her, ‘‘Oh, you starer,” and called hera devil. Miss Barneson left the window andina short time retarned with a platol, She threw up the sash and displayed the weapon. Then she pointed it and fired, All the children except Maggle ran away. Maggle was shot over the right eye and fell. The witness, whose testimony was not always clear, testified that before the shooting Miss Burneson had called Lonisa Hawkinsa besst and that Loulsa had replied, “I am no more of a beast than youare.” She had not heard Loulsa say anything before that. She sald, however, that Fannle Canningham, bofore the shooting, had called in at the keyhole of Miss Barneson’s house, A day or two before the shooting a little girl had closed in the shutters of Miss Burneson'’s window, puiled down the curtain and threw down some fan- cy work. For perhaps two months, she said, the children had annoyed the defendant. They had called her “‘false-face” and ‘‘old black devil,” made faces at her, threw ashes and dirt upon her steps and bricks into the vestibule of her kouse. The children thought that all this was fun. Mag- gle, however, had taken no partin the matter and seldom went Into the street, Maggio Carlett’s father testi. fied that his child never spoke after she had been shot. District Attorney Graham said that the rest of the testi- mony which the Commonwealth had to offer would be cummulative. The sourt did not think it necessary to pro- duce it. Richard Burneson, an uncle of the defendant, testified that Miss Burne- son had lived with him for thirteen KEG & BOTTLED BE THIS EXCBLLENT BEER SPEAKS FOB ITSELF, Orders from any part of the Btate or the Entire West will be promptly shipped: Rtewered el THE DR, §, A, 0., FROPRIEORS, §T.
