CHRISTINE NILSSON TODAY.
The Great Swedish Singer Has
Passed Her Half Century.

The Great swedish Singer Has
Passed Her Half Century.
August 26, Christine Nilsson, Countess de
Casa Miranda, celebrated her fftieth birth
day. 1t is thirty years since the tall and
fair faced woman stood in front of the foot
lights at a little opera house in Stockholm
and made her first public essay with her
wonderful voice. She was a Swedish far
mer's daughter, and one day Christine dis
appeared. The sixteen-year-old girl had
begged one of the women of a BAN of
wandering musicians to take her with them.
She learned to play on the violin and on the
flute. Sometimes she sang.
One night she was singing in the streets
OF stockholm and accompanying herself on
the violin. Passing by one of the city's great
men heard the voice of the singer. He
stopped, and saw the girl was neither beau
tiful nor attractive. But her voice had
charms for him. He loved music, and he
was rich enough and kind enough to be gem
erous, and through his aid she was sent to
the best music schools. His name was Jan
Tornerheljm, and one week after her great
success in Paris-it was in 1S69-he died in
that city; and on the evening of his funeral
Christine Nilsson sang as usual in Faust"
His death had not disturbed her.
Her career in France and in England, dur
ing the first ten years of her operate career,
was one continued success. She was married
about seventeen years ago TO a husband, who
added wealth to her store, and Westminster
Abbey was clothed in all its pomp and pur-
pie for the wedding of this once barefooted,
strplling singer girl. No other marriage
outside of royalty had been such a gorgeous
one for years before within the hallowed old
walls, His name was Rouzand, and he was
a banker on the Paris Bourse. There came
a crash one day that swept him off his feet,
and when he figured up his losses that night
he was worse than poor-he was largely in
debt.
Then he died, and Christine married a
Spanish nobleman, the Count de Miranda.
When she made her last tour in Sweden
and Norway she was received with royal
honors, a salute of 101 guns was fired when
she landed at Stockholm, and that evening
$4,000 people crowded into the square in
front of her hotel.-Chicdqo Tribune.

AGAINST THE INCOME TAX BILL.
Senator Smith VIII Not support the
Measure.
Special to the Jersey City Meas

Special to the Jersey City NeWs.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81, 1S94.-The spec
tacle of Republicans applauding a New
Jersey Democrat was afforded yesterday
afternoon when Representative Dunn de-
lvered a rampant speech against the income
tax. Mr.. Dunn was vigorous and picturesque,
as he always is, and was by no means cauti-
Gus in his use of words. He denounced the
proposed tax as a piece of ~demagogery and
said that it had been forced upon the party
by a trick. He charged that the Democrats
were all going over to the Populists and
were following the lead of jerry Simpson.
Then he denounced Representative McMillin,
the author of the income tax bill, who, he
said, used to be the idol of the Democratic
party but had nov fallen from that high
estate.
Mr.. Dunn asserted that if the friends of
the income tax thought that the laboring
man would believe that the tax was to re
lieve him and place a burden on the rich
man, they were mistaken. On the contrary,
the poor man would find that there was a
tax upon his little earnings in the savings
bank and Upon the small amount which he
might have in a building association. eff
you add this income tax bill to the tariff
bill, /" shouted Mr.. Dunn, and then go before
the people you will not know what has struck
you" This sentiment the Republicans APP
plauded, as they did Mr.. Dunn's entire attack
upon his party.
Senator Smith called on Senator McPher-
son yesterday morning, and the two gentle
men had a lengthy conference regarding the
Tariff bill, which is soon to come before the
Senate. Senator Smith has received an i'm
mense number of letters from the manufac-
tuners of Newark and other New Jersey cities
pointing out the details in which they think
the Wilson bill ought to be amended. He is
quite anxious that as far as possible these
interests shall receive fair and intelligent
treatment, and he made this fact plainly
known to his colleague. As the result of the
conference, it may be stated that both Sena-
tors will act as far as they can in concert,
although Mr.. Mcpherson is handicapped by
his position on the Finance Committee and
by his written pledge to support on the floor
any action which that committee may take.
The attitude of the New Jersey Senators
and members on the income tax was also
discussed, and it can be stated that Senator
Smith said that he would vote against the
tariff bill should the income tax be made a
part of it. Senator Mcpherson was non
committal on the matter, but he stated to
your correspondent before his trip to the
South that he would be compelled to vote for
the income tax If his committee reported it
with the bill.
Representative Cadmus said this afternoon
that there were still five New Jersey MEM
bers who proposed to vote against the tariff
bill with its income tax addition.

NO TROLLEY YET TO NEWARK.
Passaic and Hackensack to BE Closed
to Strengthen the Bridges.


The opening of the electric road across the
meadows from Jersey City to Newark has
again been postponed. This time it is on
account of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany and Newark Plank Road Company.
These corporations, by virtue of an act
owners to close a river in this State while
repairing a bridge, will close up the Passaic
River during three weeks of the ensuing
month. The Pennsylvania Company desires
to repair the draw of the Market street
bridge, while the Plank Road Company will
put new gearing under the draws of the
Passaic and Hackensack bridges. This latter
operation is to be lone in order that the
bridges may be made safer for the electric
road running over them. 1t was hoped that
navigation would have been suspended by
ice, but since there appears to be little hopes
order intimating the closing up of the
streams.
