dered how all these vaudeville artists, or
novelty specialties, as they are called pass
their time behind the scenes. Putting
this query TO the man next me, he replied:

learned that her case was exceptional,
however, as she was particular favorito
with the public. Tho ordinary song and
dance actress averages only about SIS a

not like 10 divulge However, learned
that somo single spocialties arc paid as
high as 81, 900 week. For example, Cam
panni at Proctor's received 500 for every
time he went "on," As he went on twice
day, that was 5000 day, or $1,000 u

same figure, rs ne was n great attraction

This is one way, replied the manager,
leading the way out. Sometimes ! have
dozen such people in a single day. The
best ones, however come through agents in
all parts of this country and Europe, They
keep us informed Of all new or unengaged
novelties, and then our traveller goes 10 see
what they are like. This man does moth
ing else. II he approves he engages and
sends them in. The engagement is for
different periods, from two to eight weeks.
European specialists, however, VIII not
come over for less than throc months. So
we bring them over, keep them here rs
long as they draw and then rent them
out through the country. They arc still
on our salary list, of course, and the man
ayers TO whom they are rented pay us for

The greater part OF the morning ses-

PRINCESS BISM4aCK DEAD.
Tho Wife of the Iiius,r'ous German state =
mRu ma iy IA se Away

BERLIN, Nov 27--Princess bismarck
died at Narzin at O'Clock this morning.
Her elder son, Count herOert Dis-
marck, arrived at Varzin yesterday even
ing in obedience 10 summons, and the
other members of the family are on
their way there.
VARZlN, Nov. I.-Prince Bismarck is
completely broken down by the death
of his wife, although her death was not
altogether unexpected, In View of her
recent repeated attack of fainting fits.
A few weeks ago, when the Princess
condition was growing worse, Prince
Bismarck said to his old butler whose
wife was dangerously Ill: My friend, |
share your grief heartily, | am in the
same terrible position as yourself.
Everybody is passing away before our
selves"
The Princess died In the arms Of her
husband who had been watching her
throughout the night She was fully con-
sCiOuS until fifteen minutes before her
death She died of dropSy Prince BIS
maTCk has for some time past had a
or his wife before they should leave
\arZin and has recently said repeatedly
that If Princess bismarck could only 90
TO FREDERICKSBURG in tOlerably fair condi-
ton all might be well. He now has fears
that he himself may not make the jour
uey in safety
Prince Bismarck this morning sent
telegram to the Emperor apprising his
Majesty OF the uedlN OF tne fflnctSst III
reply 10 which the Kaiser wired the eX-
Chancellor a long message Of sympathy.
The funeral Of the Princess will proba-
biv take place at SchOerhausen.
The Princess was a daughter OF the
noble Pomeranlan house Of Won Puttka-
mer. Throughout life she preserved all
simplicity OF he" youth. She was a per-
feet specimen. in the best sense OF the
word, of the German hausefrau. She was
very quiet bore her honors as the most
natural thing in the world held fast by
the Old friends Of humber days and had
but one great object in lfe--to make her
husband and children happy. She ac-
companied her husband wherever his du-
ties led him. and created for him the
home life which the man of blood and
iron loved so wei. and I'm which he found
repOse and refreshment from his lahors
She cared for her husband and children
In "a peaceful, motherly way, and her
serenity and patience, which have always
secured for Bismarck a quiet home GER
tanly contributed to his success through
life
"She ii is" ne once said to a friend
who has made me what | am"
