 ately to salaries of one hundred to two hun
 dred dollars per week. such as are received by Ansley Cook, Mad. Doria, Seguin, Tom Kari and so on. The Nilsson opera is more expensive. MT. Strakosch pays Mile. Nilsson $l0O0 performance, and shares all over $3000. The houses average nearly $5 ,OO0, which makes Miss Wilson's share g., ,50O. Besides this all her expenses of residence, travelling, carriages, etc., are paid by the management, This great sing CT returns to Europe with very near $500, 900 of American money.

Mir
 WaIlack has offered Clara Morris $2OO per week, but she is unable to accept It as she has signed 8 contract with Mir. Daly for two years. Nor IS MT.
