WHY THEY LIKE AMERICA.
Artists Get Much Here Night They
 Do Abroad in a Month.

Artists Get as Much Here Night They
 Do Abroad in a Month.
 A good deal of interest will attach to the visit of the De Reszkes, the Ravog- lis, and other artists of the Covent Gar den troupe to the United States writes a London correspondent. It is well known that MT. Abbey is in the habit of paying very high salaries, far larger, in deed, than could possibly be given in England. More than once a visit to America has led to a practical with drawal of the artist from operatic life in England. For example, since Mime. Patti received q, 900 nightly, and Mme. Sembrich received, if we recollect, f300 nightly, neither of these favorite artists has been permanently attached to an opera troupe in Europe. The price of vo- calists is always apt to rise, but the charges for admission to the opera house must remain stationary.
 No impressario has ever been known to make @ fortune out of Italian opera in England, and the prudent manager would seek to cut down rather than to increase expenses. It is, perhaps, for | this reason that Sir A. Harris has taken the precaution to have several of his con tracts signed before his artists visit the the United States. So far as MT. J. de | Reszke is concerned, the only difference the American engagement will make is a I loss to Paris. The popular Polish tenor | will not sing again in the French capital | for a considerable period and his partici- patton even in the Meyerbeer centenary is | now extremely doubtful. Artists, after all have to look to the main chance. l In the United States MT. J, de Reszke will, it is understood, receive salary of
 f4O0 night. His salary in Paris is said
 to be 940O per month. Art, as read
 through French spectacles, may no doubt
 be very grand affair, but the money l point of view cannot entirely be left out
 of count. Until, therefore, France is | willing to pay more adequate salaries
 it must put up with artists of the second rank.

 Of course you want to keep your skin nice this summer, and yet you do not want to appear to be doing so. You want to go yachting; you want to go rowing, sailing and driving, and you also desire to take a hand in tennis playing and you certainly do not, at any of these functions, want to seem as if you were trying to preserve your complexion fro m the inroads of the weather.
 It is very charming to see young woman put on her yachting cap and sally forth to face the rough sea breezes and endure the splash of the salt water and the burning of the noon-day sun without ever a thought of burning her skin. And she looks very pretty tramping around the deck, or leaning over the edge of the rail watching the fishes and gayly talking to the midship laddy who has taken her for the outing.
 But she isn't half so pretty six hours Afterwards, when the sun has turned the lovely pink in her cheeks to a bright poppy color, and the flesh-colored tint of Ter nose has deepened to scarlet. Her kin feels uncomfortable, too, for it is

KILLED BY A COUNT
A Rich German Murders His
 Wife For a Dollar.
HE MARRIED HER IN NEW YORK
The Tragedy Caused on Account of AL
 legged Extravaganza.

While in Passion the Count Knocked His Wife Down and Shot Her--He Then Placed the Pistol to His Forehead and Fell Dead Beside His Wife--Their Three Little Children Present.
 TOPEKA, Kan, Sep. 9.-Gustave Berger shot and killed his wife Johanna in the back as she fled to escape his wrath in the morning, and then, placing revolver to his head, killed himself. Both died instantly.
 He was a German Count, 46 years old. He received large remittances from Ger many and expected to come into 8 rich inheritance. He also owned a number of houses in the suburbs of Topeka. He came to America 12 years ago.
 Shortly after his arrival he sent for Johanna Pruter and paid the expenses of the trip for the entire family. He met them in New York and married the girl, who was only 16 years old.
 Two years ago he beat his wife un- mercifully because of alleged extrava- gance, and she obtained 8 divorce. Six months later she was taken sick and the attending physician advised her to re- marry Berger and rear their children. She said to one of her neighbors at the WILL uAA ds5dln lOE ny children's sake, even if he kills me.'
 The couple had three children, aged 8, and years. The lived in one of Der gers houses, which was elegantly fur nished and finished in hard wood. Der ger received $12 from 8 tenant for rent. Soon after the couple and the children sat down to breakfast.
 The coffee had been poured, but not tasted when Mrs. Berger asked her hus- band for dollar to buy the eldest boy 6 pair of trousers. Berger upbraided his wife for what he termed her eXtrava | gances.
 The man flew into passion, rose from the table and knocking his wife dowr proceeded to beat her. She escaped from l him and ran out of the front door. Der ger seized revolver and shot her in the side. She fell dead on the front steps Then the murderer placed the pistol t' his forehead pulled the trigger and fel dead beside his wife.

Killed While Resisting Arrest.

COLUMBUS, O., Sep. 9.-Henry Webster, 8 negro of bad repute was shot and killed while resisting arrest early in the morn, ing. He was drunk and threatened to kill officer George Feist, who was going to arrest him. The officer continued after him and the negro shot back twice, but fortunately neither ball took effect. As the negro lodged behind a telegraph pole, officer Feist took careful aim and sent bullet through his body killing him instantly. The negroes are very indignant and talk of holding a meeting to take action against the officer.

Fear of Failure Led to Suicide.

WASHINGTON, Sep. 9.-Much sympathy is expressed here for the friends of Miss Mary Muschette, who committed suicide by cutting her throat with razor Miss Muschette was 20 years of age, and resi- dent of Minneapolis, Minn. She came to Washington few weeks ago, and last week submitted to civil service exam ination. It is thought her nerves were unstrung by fears that she had failed to pass the examination creditably and this led to depression of spirits, during which she committed the act. No other cause for the suicide can be assigned.

It is not so easy to protect the face when yachting, but something can always be done by means of a veil-and a woman is permitted to wear one of these on every occasion. Put the vail on loosely and have it so long that it will cover your chin and be gathered in folds around your neck. IL will look pretty fastened in this way, and when caught with a fancy pin at the back of your yachting cap, will seem more as if it were to keep the cap on rather than to protect your complexion. A liberal coating of powder underneath the veil will not show and will tend to preserve the skin.
 For tennis and for bathing the Tam O'Shanters are worn. And the brims to these, or rather the overhanging crowns,

A syndicate of Chnamen, with ample capital backing it, has purchased site near Victoria for rice mill, and work on the erection of the mill will be begun at once. The syndicate proposes to put up mill large enough to supply the whole in terior country with rice. The raw ma terial will be brought from China. There is large demand for rice throughout the country. and the syndi- cate expects to make lots of money.

JOHN KENNY, who was in Greely's re- lief expedition in 1883, presents strong conformation of the opinion expressed by Prof Heilprin, with regard to the possibility of retreat from his present position. He regards it as an utter i'm possibility. This is the critical point, as 1t Is now conceded, in this expedition. On the other hand, 1t is reassuring to find so many experts think that he may be able to carry out his plans, if an expedition is sent to him ill the spring m season to anticipate his retreat. In this case Mir Kenny offers to be one of the crew, if Lieut. Colwell of the navy and a proper number of American sea men will go with him. At any rate, the prospect is that he will not be allowed to perish among the glaciers of Green land, unles some fOreseen disaster over- takes him.

RIO J~ANEIRo, Nov. 24.-The revolution
in this city by which Fonseca's dictator
ship was overthrow was almost as
peaceful as that by which Don Pedro
was deposed. Insurgents in the city long
had been planning the coup Yesterday
morning a strong force made an attack
on the naval arsenal, where the arms and
ammunition of the government were
stored, and after a hall -hearted attempt
at defense the garrison gave up. The
people INDUCED in demonstrations of re
joicing at the success of the insurgents.
The members of Fonseca's cabinet re-
signed when the triumph of the revolu-
tionlsts became an established fact and
the manifesto of Fonseca announcing
that he would bow to the will of the
people was soon issued. 1t is expected
the members Of congress dissolved by
Fonseca will be recalled.

THERE is naturally considerable un-
dcmonstratiyc interest felt by the people
OF Great Falls as to the precise point of
contact Of the Burlington railroad with
the city. That the road will be built to
this place is nc longer a matter of specu-
lation. Every indication points to that
fact. But at what part of the city the
road will make its entrance is the uues-
ton that admits of much guessing. But
as the main point as TO the building of
the road is settled the peoplcof the place
may complacently wait the developments
which will accurately point to the depot
grounds. Great Falls is ample in pro-
portions and can find room for the depot
buildings of a dozen railroads.
