When a man sues for 100000
damages for the alienation of his
w1fe's affection, he must hold said
affection way up in the seventh

than that sum a fellow can bottle

WELL PAID AT HOME.
Italian Composers Find Appreciation and
Compensation for Their Work.

There is a general impression that
Italian composers live and die in pow
erty, and that the government is too
poor TO assist them. This fallacy is
denied in a recent letter, for the writer
says that a stipulated sum, and not
royalties, is paid in advance for the
performance of each work: 1.-THE sum
depends upon the value of the opera,
the Importance of the theater and the
artists employed, and the season in
which it is given. The publishers,
thoroughly cognizant of the means Of
every theater in Italy, make their
prices accordingly. The price once
named is never reduced, even though
the opera may fail to succeed. When
the contract is signed the theater di-
rector receives the vocal but not the
orchestral parts. In season for the
necessary rehearsal the latter are
loaned, but only when sufficient sum
is deposited to secure their safe return.
To this phase of the business there is
said to be due the frequent delays in
first presentations, managers not
having the necessary sum to ad.
vance. The ineficiency so FREE
guent in the orchestra work on
the occasion of first performances is
ascribed to the same cause-an ade.
quate number of rehearsals having
been denied. The composers rights
are placed at from twenty to fifty per
cent. of the supposed receipts of the
theater involved. The smallest pro-
yincial theater in Italy, according to
this information, pays six hundred
dollars a night for the right
of presenting 'Cavalleria Rusticana,'
and the receipts are rarely
double this sum. Deducting salaries
and other contingent expenses the
managers profit would seem likely ex-
pressed in few figures.
'Verdis Aida commands two thou
sand dollars and even three thousand
dollars a performance in the larger
cities; in the province one-third the
last sum is demanded. Of the receipts
forty per cent is paid the composer by
the publishers, who must bear all ex-
pense. For the right to perform old
operas little is given, although Bar
BIER Norma 'Sonnambula,' Lucia
and like works still are of a mercantile
value. In such instances, however,
the composers descendants receive no
share of the profits, authors rights not
being known in the time of Rossini,
Bellini and Donizetti. In Italy an
opera may be given in as many az
twelve theaters simultaneously, az
auaru town has its thea for w era 0na-
ras are produced during at least one
season of the year. Dramatic authors
are, on the other hand, said not to be
so well paid in Italy as musical COM
posers Hartford Times.

ARBITRATE OR FIGHT.

ahb1 IhaIE Oh tl0h4.
1t is now almost twelve weeks
since Olney, United States secre-
tary of state, on behalf OF the gov
eminent of this country, sent to
the court of st. James the views of
this country on the vexed question
OF the Venezuelan boundary, but
as yet no answer has been re-
turned. II the dispatches are not
in error, then for once the secre-
tary of state for the United States
under Cleveland's administration
has told Great Britain the truth
with the bark on. While this was
not expected, and would have been
impossible under the former secre-
taryship, it is none the less matter
Of national pride that the govern
ment, in its conduct Of the foreign
office, has at its head a man who is
competent to take a firm stand for
the rights of the republican senti-
ment Of this whole western world,
as expressed in the Monroe doctrine.
That no answer has been returned
to the communication of Secretary
Olney is not to be wondered at,
when the nature Of his communi-
cation is taken into consideration.
1t must have been a bombshell in
the British camp, intrenched as
it was in the belief that the present
administration at Washington
could do nothing contrary to the
will of Great Britain in the prem
ises, to be told that Great Britain
had no clearer title to what she
claimed than had Venezuela, and
that the disputed point must be
arbitrated, for it was a fundament-
al principle that no foreign power
could secure increased territory on
this continent by force OF arms.
The declation of this principle as
containing the germ of the Monroe
idea, and the assertion that its at
tempted violation by Great Britain
would be taken as an unfriendly
act by the United States, might
we'll cause halt in the movements
OF that power, explaining the de-
lay that has occurred in receiving
an answer. All that is necessary
is that this position be maintained
by this government. There is no
clearer conclusion to the average
mind than that the attempt to
settle the Venezuelan boundary
question by British arms, under
this formal notification Of the
American foreign office, will be &C
copied as such unfriendly act as to
call for the severance of friendly
relations between the two coun-
tries. II to this complexion the
United States must come, it cannot
arrive at it under any circum-
stances more calculated to do her
credit, than through this enforce
m ent OF the inviolability Of the
Monroe doctrine. III this doctrine can
only be enforced at the expense Of
armed resistance to those who
would violate it, then the armed
resistance must come.

practically being destroyed by the
unwise action of the B. & O. r. R.

have been planned and consummated
and more are in contemplation. Let

LONDON, June 2I-It is Just an.
nounced that the outcome of the de-
liberations of the cabinet in conse-
quence of the adverse vote in the
House of Commons on Friday, is
that Lord Roseberry, the Prime
Minister, has rendered his resigna-
tion to the queen.
Her majesty has therefore sum-
moned Lord Salisbury, the leader of
the Conservative party, to Windsor
in connection with the formation of
a Conservative ministry.
The leading Conservatives declare
that the Marquis of Salisbury will
not formally take Office until parli-
ment is dissolved. He will insist
that the government, before yield
ing the seals, shall pass vote of an
amount necessary for the expendi-
lures for two months, to enable a
general election to be held. The
Conservatives will thus be in a posi-
ton of attack instead Of defence.
