SMYTHE A Well Known Legal Light Passes Away—A Small Fire Last Even- ing---Police Notes and Gen= eral Local News. A Queer Divorce Suit. After the jury in the Christie-Campbell sase had retired in the district court late yesterday afternoon the daivorce suit of Dawson vs Dawson was called by Judge Wakeley. Only a very few were present in the court room, and so a num- ber of embarrassing situations in which the counsel for the prosceution found himself were not witnessed by many peo- ple. A Dawson was the pinintiff, and us the defendant, William W. Dawson, is a (non-resident, notice of the suit was served by publication. ‘“‘Let's sne your aflidavit of publica- tion,"" said Judge Wakeley. The lawyer drew forth the paper and presented it to the judge, who gazed at it ong and carcfully an't read it;" his honor finally ex- claimed; “‘read it to me.” ‘I can’'t make it out very ézood my- self,’’ responded tho attorney,after glanc- ing slowly over the paper. “Well," I suppose you have a copy of the publication? " “‘By Jove, I forgot all about it,” stam- mered the evidently discomfited law- yer, “‘But I can get one.’’ Vhat paper was it printed in, young man?’ It was in the Swedish paper, I think," replied the legal light, as l]u dropped his eyes on the floor. “Do you mean to say you had it printed Swedish?” said Judge Wakeley, cm- ng his words and a dangerous gleam lighting his eyes 'Ol 110, your honor but was in & Swede paper. “Well, then, bring in your evidence, and be sure you find a copy of that no- tice,” replicd the court. Mrs. 1 s accordingly sworn and test t she was married to the defendant M h 35, and that after living together less than two weeks, he left her and she had not n him since. She had known Dawson two months before the marriage, and he had told her that he was rich and would give her an elegant home. She didn’t believe him until he sent a clairvoyant to her who, whileina trance, told her that Dawson was worth $60,000, and if she married him her life would be the aeme of bliss and happiness elation from the spirit land di 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 1n a bor- rowed suit of clothos. When he went away he promised to send for her, but he had never done so. The ground-on which she asked for divoree was non-support. Judge Wakeley, after hearing the d he would not grant the deeree a nt, but would take the matter un- der advisement and wait until he saw the notice by publication and could read the aflidavit. Death of Col. Smythe. Col. E. F. Smythe, one of the best known lawyers of the Douglas county bur, 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 wa his sickness considered dangerous, and the news of his death will be a shock to the community at Jarge. Only a few days have elapsed since he was on the street greeting his friends, and but three weeks ago he made a gallant defense of Powell, the slayer of Charles Leshe, in the district court. At that time he ap- peared in botter health than for many months, and his closing address to the jury was considered one of the best efforts of his li: Col.

B. Campbell and A Black Stabber Discharged. The long deferred examination of the negro Ike Glover who stabbed his white mistress, Myrtle Grant, was held in polico court yesterday afternoon. The injured woman was aple to be present, although pale and almost bloodless from the effects of the terrible cut. She was placed upon the stand and swore positively that over did not do the stabbing, but that she tripped and fell upon tho knife. As no one saw the aflair except the two prineipals, there was no evidence to hold the negro and ho was discharged. Judge Stenberg, however, warned the prisonor that in case of any further difliculty be- tween him and the woman he would be nmarily arrested and given punishe wment to the full extent of the law, Knocked Out With a Hammer. Bill Davis is a young man of brawn and mussle who yesterday put his powers to » very poor use.

When four teen years of sige 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 one day he handed his tutor a sealed 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 my" left hand everything that other peopie do wi:ll both fiands I will blow my brains out." The young count set to work resolutely to carry out the resolve. He refused to cat any meat unless it was cut with hig own hand, or any fruits unless he peeled them himself, and he even let his nails grow till he could pare them. At the end of three months he was able to drive his horses, handlg the oar, fence like an athelet and hunt like a Nimirod. He soon resumed his musical excrcises, but was compelled to substitute the piano for the violin. Meantime he studied law and devoted a portion of his spare hours to light literature. He was fond of the theatre, and wrote tour comedies, which were played at a theatre in Buda-Pesth, and published several romances and two small volumes of lyric poems. One day the famous Abbe Liszt heard the one-arméd youth practicing on the piano alone in his room. The master listened for a time with rapt attention, and then stealing on tiptoe to the boy's’ presence, stooped down and kissed him on the forchead, exclaiming, *“Young man, you will be without a al! Tu Marcellus eris.” Zichy at once became Lisat's pu- pil, and iinned under the instruction of the great master for six ye Liszt taught h pulpil to substitute his thumb for hisright hand in playing the piano. But the master afterwards declared that “he did not then dream his pupil would ever succeed in exccuting the chromutic seale, 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 h public career.

One Person Out of Every Thousand Has Probably Lost His Visual Organ, Chicngo News: “Among several thousand of these artificial eyes there are hardly two which are alike m s and color,” said a prominent manufac- turer on South C lark strect and a former pupil of Dr. Boisenneau,of Paris, the inventor of an improvement in ar- tificial eyes, to a Daily News rep orter. “People speak of glass ey®s—the; made for animais and birds, to be us by taxidermists—but eyes for humans made of enamel, variously colored, cepting the outer transparent part, or cornea, which is of erystal, *“(n ‘olden times golden plates were used, and even now, in some parts of the old world, silver plates are often em- ployed.

Itis probably a reasonable esti- mate that one person out of every thou- sand has lost an eye. In about half the cases the eye is entirely removed, and in the remainder an opérition is performed, the conjunctiva being divided and th natural muscles left to control the arti i ye, or, a8 in aceidents, th humor ekudes from the eye, 2 astump which receives the en- mel. “In these latter cases the artificial eye will move similarly to the good cyc and the movements of the eyelids aid further in making the appearance natural. ““The material is obtamned direct from , and the process of making is, of course, a seeret, but the eyes can not be molded. Théy are usually made to order, several being manufactured, from whici the one best suited to the customer is selected. The remainder are thrown into stock,which accounts tor the fact that no two are alik The eyes in stock ar sold to the general trade in collections of fifty, a_hundred, or more. Where | ties out of the city want eyes they are usually sent a case of fifty to select one from, the rest being returned. This house and one in New York c are the only ones manufacturing artificial eyes in this country,but there are several such concerns inlaris. We do a bu ness of probably $40,000 annually, ® charges bemng $10 ' for an eye, or §15 if made to order. ; “People can often be fitted from stock, but they will come hundreds of miles to be fitted exactly with respect to cavity, color, blood vesscls, etc. Sometimes a customer will take an eye of a different color from the Mml one, and I have soen--though thefaet is not recorded in medical works—+pessons who had one gray eye aud a blue one, or a brown and @ biue'one, There is one thing that can not be imitated=the contraction and di lation of the puy#l: therefore, the pupil made of medium_size.

All at once a masked robber jumped out from behind a tree, grabbed” my horse by the bit, and intimated to me in a mostungen- tlemanly manner that my longevity do pended ” somewhat on the promptness with which I 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 we were scootin, nlon¥ at the schedule rate o 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 we 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 cut off his head down in the forecastle, and was now engaged in the not wholly laudable occupation of throw- ing the Steerage vassengers overboard into the sea. _This frightened me so that I ran out to the barn and bn-{.’:uu hitching my und my feeding barrel to m \dau sleigh for some purpose which lipped out of my mind just before it got into it, and L awoke with a fecling that my ambition would have been more nearly satisfied if 1 could only have figured out what T was probably going to do when 1 got this remarkable team har- nessed and 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 fro trongh and run down to the sea in droves and do divers other things suitabie and properly abpertaining to his race and breed. Another thing that I like about dreams is their industry and economy. One able- bodied dream ¢an 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 f; I?in;: out of bed once, and as I did so I tho! 1 rolied off the edge of the world, ) 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 prope: thing to go visiting all over this uniuerse and 1 neighboring ones in m) night clothes. Some way L didn’t seem to whether school kept or not, or whether they taught Latin dand G i it if 1t did keep. After I had awhile I began to drop, not liki disappointed god, “from _morn till noon and noon il dewy eve,” but from New Years till the Fourth of July and from the Fourth till Christma inally, after a few centuries of this depressing experience 1 found myself impaled on one of the five pointsof astar of the forty-seventh magnitude, and gradually came to realiz I had fallen a matte of two feet and ngled my legs in the rounds of a chair. Now, there is industry for you, and great economy of time in the Dargain One would naturally suppose that when a dream had worked ten or a dozen cen- turies in half a jifly, it would feel like laying off a 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 me again and went to work like a boy carrying water to a circus clephant, That's the kind of stuft dreams are made of. S ) THE PHOTOGRAPH HABIT. Bill Nye Tells All About It. No doubt the photograph habit, when once formed, 1s one of the most reful and productive of the most intense suf- fering in after years of any with which we are familiar. Sometimes it scems to me that my whole life has been one long, abject apology for photographs that I have shed abroad throughout a distracted country. Mun” passes through seven distinet stages of being photographed, each one g cding all previous cflorts in that ine First he is ‘nhomg'nplwd: s a prattling, bald-headed baby, absolutely destitute of eyes, but making up for this deficiency by a wealth of mouth that would make & n¢ gro minstrel olive green with envy, W often wonder wl given the average photographer that wild hunted look about the eyes and that joyless sag about the knees. he chemicals andethe indoor life alone have not done all this. 1t is the great nerve tension and mental strain used in trying to ]leugl'nph squirming and dark-red” ehild with “white 25 in such a manner as to please its parents. An old-fashioned “dollar-store album with celebro-spinal memngitis, and filled with pictures of half-suffocated children in heavily-starched white dresses, is the first thing we scck on entering & home and the lust thing from which we relue- tantly part. The second stage of the downw road is the photograph of the boy with fresh-cropped lair, and m which o sty and protuberant thumb takes a leading part, Then follows the portrait of the lad with strongly marked freckles and a look of hopeless ‘melancholy. With the aid of a vlnn uve agency. | succeeded in running down and destroying several of these pictures which were attributed to me, Next comes the young man, 21 years of age, witn his front hair plastered smoothly down over_ his tender throbbing dome of thought. He does not care so much about the exvression on the mobile fea- tures 5o long as s left hand, with the new ring on it shows distinctly, and thi string of jingling, jangling charms on his wateh chain, mcluding the cute little basket cutout of u peach stone, stands out well in the foreground., If the young man would stop to think for a moment that some day he may become eminent and ashamed of himself, he would hesi tate about doing this. Soon after he has a tin type taken in whick a young Jady sits in the alleged grass, while he stunds behind her with s hand lightly touching her shoulder,as though he might be feeling of the thrilling circumfcrence of a buz saw. Heearries this picture in his pocket for months, and looks at it whencver he may be unobse ‘T'hen, all at once, he discovers that the young ludy’s hair is not done up that any more, and that her hat doesn’t to fit her. He then, in a fickle moment, has another tin-type made, in which another young woman, with a more recent bat and later coiffure. is dis- covered holding his hatin her lap he thing contipues till one day he comes into the studio with his w! and tries to see how many children can be photographed onlone negative by holding one on each knee, and using the other one as a background The last stage in his eveatful ard rthe | old gentleman allows himself to be pho tographed, becanse he is afraid he may not live through another long, hard ter, and the boys would like a pictu him while he is able to elimb the dark, narrow stairs which lead to the artist’s room Sadly the thought comes back to you in after yoars, when his grave is green in the quiet valley and thte worn and weary hands that haye toiled for you are forever at rest, how patiently he submitted while his daughter pinned the clean, stifl, ago- nizing white collar about his neck and brushed the little flakes of ** " from the velvet collar of his best coat; how he foiled up the long, dark, lonesome stairs, not with the egotism of a half contu, ago. but with the light of anticipated rest at last in his eye, obediently as he would go to the dingy law office to have his will drawn, he meekly leaves the outlines of his kind old face for those he loved and tor whom he has so long labored It is a picture at which the thoughtless may smile, but ititis full of pathos, and cloquent for those who knew him best His attitude is stiff, and _his ¢ bunches up in the back, but his kind old heart assorts itself in the gentle eyes, and when he has gone away at Iast we do not et jeise the pictu 3 but boyond the old coat that bunches up in the back, and that lasted him so long, we read tho his of anoble life. Silently the old finger-marked album, lying so unostentatiously on the gouty centre-table, points out the mile-stones from infancy to old age, and back of the mistakes of a struggling photographer are portrayed the laughter and the tears, the joy and the grief, the dimples and gray hairs of one man'’s lifetime, fest iy Real Estate Transfors, The following transfers were filed March 24, with the county clerk, and reported for the BEE by Ames’ Real Estate Ageney: M T Patrick and wifefto Philip I Devol, w b1 oll‘ Igis') block 3, Patrick’s 1st add Omaha, W d—§850,2, John I Redick and wife to Max Meyer and others, part of se i of nwlq sec 21-16-18, Dou, C 25,000, in 1~i||glri to Henry W Yates, ,rm’nck 6, Hillside add No 1, Oma- ouzalin (single) to Henry W Yates, soyeral lots Hillside add No 2, Omaba, w d Augustus Kountze and wife and others to Louis Feblowicz, lot 14, block 8, Plainview, Douglas Co, w 300, W King, e 33 feet of lots 21 and 22, block 10, Shull’s 2d add Omaha, w d—$2,000.

AFFECTED BY STRIKE NEWS, The Labor Troubles a Factor in Pre- venting a Thorough Feeling of Security—Continued Depres- sion in Live Stock. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET, Cr1caco, March 95, —[Special Telegram.] WirAT—There was a firmer tone to wheat this morning than there has been for some time past, Cables were better—both publie and private—and it is now a reasonably well established fact that forcigners and thelr representatives have been buying very con- siderable quantities of wheat for future de- liveries on (he break. The English markets have not foliowed the decline here, but at the first indieation of 1eturning confidenco they harden immediately. Tl fact leads the merchant class of traders to think there is substantial ground for the hope that the mar- ket is about to improve. The price at the opening to-day was about 1 above where it left off last night. Shorts began buying freely, and as values stiffenod and advanced oonsiderable wheat wae taken for invests ment. Lhe advance of e was scattered, slie being pald for May. Then came ws of the aggravation of the trouble on the Gould roads and of additional rioting at St. Louls. This served to shaken the slowly returning confidence and the price slipped back to the starting pointas casily as though the way was greased. The market laboriously recovered from the backset given it by bad strike news, but it did not advance with any show of viger. Trading was not done on an extraordinarily large scale, but a fair volume of business wes. transacted and the pit presented the appear- ance of animation all the morning. One of pal elements of strength to-day wes ' h' o the circulation of an estimate of a deereas the visible supply for the current week of at least 1,000,000 bushels, The decrease in the amount of wheat on passage to the United Kingdom since last Thursday's report of 1,600,000 bushels, which was offset by an in- crease in the ancount on passage to the conti- nent of dabout 600,000 bushels. leav- ing the net decrease 1,000,000 bushels, was a strong bull feature in to-da; market, Prices, everything econsidered, held remark- ably steady, the range during the morning being only e.
