ATLTNTIC CITY. July IS, 1s95.-Miss
Louise G.. Davis, the young lady who was
murderously assaulted by a burglar at
her brothers home on Saturday night, is
still in a critical condition. DR.. Van
Lennep. the Philadelphia surgeon who
was telegraphed for, has been constantly
at her bedside and has almost despaired
Of hope. Her brother, who grappled
with the assassin, and who received a
blow on the head with IN iron bar, is
slowly recovering, but is not vet out of
danger. The police are making every
effort to capture the burglar, and are
keeping a strict watch at the railroad
stations. Several suspicious characters
nave been arrested. 1t is not believed
that the crime was the work of a pro-
fessional burglar, as the police say they
do not carry such cumbersome articles as
iron bolts. The bolt that he used Is in
the hands of the police and is similar
to fhose being nsed in the construction
of the Cooling Company's plant, Of which
Mr.. Davis i manager Anothsr bolt taken
finish. Another peint is that on the bu-
reau in Miss Davis room were some valu-
able diamonds which the thief did not
take.

PAY OF WOMEN MUSICIANS.

Probably there is no field where more
varying wage is paid to women than in
the realm of music. writes Mrs. Gar
rett Webster in the Ladies Home Jour
NAL" rho greatest and the lowest sums
are alike received by them in this pro-
~fession, while the average is probably
as good as that received by women
workers in any other field. Nine. Patti
is remarkable not only as the greatest
of living vocalists, but as the best paid
woman worker in the world. She has
frequently received $1,000 a night for a
performance, and has not sung for many
years past for less than $1,000. Mme.
Melba's fee. whether for concert or OPP
era, is never less than $1,000. Nine.
Eames and Nine. Nordica received each
$500 for their operate performances dur
ing the season just past. The latter's
inyariable fee for singing In concert or
o~ratorio is $500. Nine. Calve received
5000 a performance during the season of
1894. These prices are paid, it will be
noticed, only to those who are the great
est in their art. Each of these women
is not only an artist, but also a beaut.-
full woman and a clever actress.

him what he wanted and he said:-"I am
selling cologne: smell this" and before
She could escape he seized hsr and placed
a bottle to her n~ostrils. With a cry She
fell to the floor insensible.
A few minutes later the family return
ed and the man escaped by a back door.
The girl was still lying on the floor.
She had a handkerchief strongly satur.
ated with chloroform over her face and
was only resuscitated after an hours
work. She gave a minute description Of
the man, and Chief of Police Burr soon
had the entire force loking for him. In
the meantime q posse of indignant citi-
zens was organized and the entire coun-
try nearby was secured. In the excite
ment last night more than one suggested
lynching. The girl is under the care OIL
