PAULINE LUCIA HAS RETIRED.

A Chapter from the Life of = One Time
FAvorite of the Opera
The news that Pauline Lucca has retired
from the stage surprises no one; but the
old time concert goer, II a man, shakes his
head and stghs;H IL a woman, drops a tear
OF regret for the wonderful voice and radi-
ant face known in the past. Her life story
perhaps all life stories would be IL they
were as well known-is an interesting one.
One of its most characteristic Incidents
Is told by one who knew her well in later
life. When she was about 8 years old-it
was in lS52-she was a half charity pupil
in a school at Vienna. Besides being poor
she was stupid In her studies $50 she told
this friend), and was also of unattractive
personal appearance. Her teachers, with
one exception, looked upon her with the
same mild contempt which characterized
her treatment by the other and more fortu-
nate pupils OF the school She was I'M
happy during a whole year of this expert
ence, her only pleasant moments being
during the weekly exercises in singing, in
which she. as a charity pupil, was not al
lowed to take part; III she sat by herself
in her corner and listened. No music since
has charmed her SO, she says, as did the
shrill treble Of those childish voices as it
blended with the careful notes OF the mas
ter on Friday mornings.
At last the end OF the school year drew
near. and brought with it the annual ex-
sminations. This was made a kind of
gala occasion by the pupils of the school
a time for white dresses and ribbons and
flowers. or these little Pauline had none.
Her mother conjured in vain for days to
find a way TO procure a white dress for the
little one 20 wear. At last, the day before
the great event, the good woman tore down
the muslin curtain at her window, and Of
1t fashioned the prettiest dress Pauline
had ever worn-and it was made from a
curtain.

PITTSBURGH, March 2S. - Three
months ago Rupert's jewelry store at
Homestead, Pa, was robbed of several
thousand dollars worth Of goods and a
few days later Skellys dry goods store
at McKeesport was robbed OF quantity
Of merchandise. II was supposed the
robbery was committed by the same
persons. Both cases were investigated
by the Gilkerson detective agency, Of
this city. The detectives located the
thieves and Saturday evening chief de-
tective G. II. Gillserson and his assist
ant, P. j. Murphy, went to Bull Run, a
mining village near McKeesport, to ar
rest man named Fitzsimmons.
- The moment the officers entered Ptz-
simmons house and arrested him, his
wife handed her husband revolver.
Fitzsimmons began shooting and at tho
6rst shot Gilkerson fell dead with bull
let in his brain. There was a regular
fusillade in the dark between Detective
Murphy, Fitzsimmons and his wife
which continued until their weapons
were emptied. When the firing ceased
Fitzsimmons was lying on the floor,
bleeding from several wounds; Detec-
tive Murphy was also badly hurt and
dazed, being shot in his left shoulder
and breast, and having deep furrow
ploughed through his chin by q bullet.
The woman stood by like an infuriated
animal at bay, uninjured, with an empty
pistol in her grasp. Detective Murphy
placed Mrs. Ftzsimmons under guard
and she was taken to McKeesport Jail
Before Detective Murphy had recovered
from the shock and excitement Fit
jumped from the room and in the dark
ness escaped to the mountains. Muir
phys wound is very serious, but he will
probably recover.
Fitzsimmons was ARRESTED near Home
stead, Pa, last night. A sachel found
near the scene OF the murder contained
lot of valuable jewelry stolen a
Homestead. A copy of the will o.
Robert Fitzsimmons, dated at Brock
vile, Ont, December 10, 1890, was alsC
found in the valise. This will shows
that the mu derer's father was a
wealthy man, having about $4,000 il
money to divide among his heirs, be

murderer is named in the will as Fred
