What Irishman 'will refuse to lay a flower on the lonely grave in the Wicklow mountains? His epitaph is written in the heart of the Irish people. True, it is written there in the saddest of ail sad words, ‘IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN,' because he imitated the rottenness of England's aristo- cracy; because he sullied the stainless escutcheon of & people whose houor is bure as ‘unsunaed snow ;' because of this he fell, fell like Luulhfi (politically) never to rise. “And yet the muse of Irish history b written his name highest of all upon the rol | dom, of coolness and firmn of her practical statesmanship, Nocunning, no blandishments, neither the perfidy of England nor the folly of Ireland could swerve him an inch from the steel magnet of wis- 88, How grand he stood just before he fell | “You remember when the London Times vas indicted before the world for perjury.

A Traveling Man's Mysterious Shooting on Davenport Street. About 6 o'clock last evening R. N. Harvey fired three shots at C. G. Alton, who was passing along Davenport street opposite the Palace stables, Harvey had been standing around the corner for some little time, parently watching for his man, and as showed up across the street the shooting commenced. Mr. Alton was not hit, and by hard run- ning, managed to get out of range of the bullets. After his revolver was empty Harvey quickly disappeared and returned to his at the Paxton hotel, where y afterward arrested by Officer P.u]\lu“‘\m\ locked up for shooting with intent to kil Harvey veling man and comes to Omaha every two months or so. It re- ported that Alton had been too intimate with Mrs. Harvey and that for that reason the husband sought to kill the man who he sup- posed had caused trouble in his family, At the jail, while being searched, Harvey i inquired if he had hit his man. Upon being informed that he had not he ex- pressed his regret and said that as soon as he was out of jail he would try it again. While Mr. Harvey was eating his supper, which had been sent down from the Paxton, a Bee reporter had a few minutes conversa: tion with him. The prisouer said that he had nothing to say about the matter and would only tell his story when his c: came up for trial. He did say, however, that Mr. Alton could tell all about it if he would, as he knew very well why he had been shot at. Before going back to his y sent the following message to hi: Mns. R. N.
