London and Paris differ greatly on
the question OF nobility and the variety
stage. There are very few mem berS OF
the arristocratic class on the London
boards, but in Paris there are dozens or
counts, oarons, marquiseS and even
princess or two singing nightly 10 the
cafe cbantants OF the Paris boulevards.
Until recently the Princess Pignatelli,
a magnificent looking brunette, and
daughter Of the King Of Naples Minis
ter 10 st. Petersburg, sang questionable
songs in various cheap places OF amuse-
ment in the French capital.
After she had exhausted her popular
itv i'm Paris she went 10 Vienna, where
She became the chief attraction IN
bsar garden. Then she married the pro-
pristor aad upon his death went 10 Aus
tria with three small children, where
she will live on the modest income lett
her bv the beer garden owner.
This is merely one example. Ihere
are scores Of others, including the Mar
guis Sampjeri, so the E.Corado; the
Baroness Won Bahdeu, az the fOues
Bergere; Count d'ObiCny de terriere,
of the Gvmuase; Marquis de BreullIe
and Count Lesot de Ia PenneJerie.
Coming back TO the English music

Dres the hope that some day she may
marry into the nobility, nearly all OF the
most famous cues have been TO this
country TO gather up the coin OF the
reaIm.
Pictures Of the best known OF them
from photographs taken In the costumes
they are now playing in 10 England, are
produced herewith.
There is Miss Harriet Vernon, the
sfx.foot, two hUndred-pound, superoly-
proportioned beauty, who it was expect
ed would capture New York az one
swoop when she appeared st an up
town music hall little more than a
year ago. She was paid $500 a week for
about thirty minutes Of singing aud dls-
playing OF gorgeous costumes. The cos
TIMES were better than the singing, but
a. tbe novelty soon wore of the former,
IN was speedily determined she was not
a bit. Yet Miss Vernon is one OF the
greatest music hall favorites IN England
TODAY. At present she is singing and
disDlaving her hne figure at the Theatre
ROYAL at BIRMINGHAM.

The women Of the London Music Hall

somewhat SoiIed but still gauCy halo of
romance surrounds them, giving them
az interest which the homemade and
Just as clever commodity has never been

Perhaps this is due TO women OF the
Belle Billion stamp, the daShing lady

Lord Dunlo and is now the Countess of
C,ancarly. There ara countless other
evidences in Burke's Pearage OF the
linking OF the concert hail and the no.

is perhaps this fact which makes the

Cornelius, representing wealthy New

Recently the trustees OF the Springs
leased the property held by them TO a
New York syndicate, which proposes to
srect a hotel building which will cost

ingsaud otherwise improve the property
of the Springs.
The water Of Berkeley Springs has
ALWAYS been known to be the finest in
the world, but has not been opened to
the public in way that would attract
attention and invite visitors, for the
reason that tSe trustees have not been
able 20 make such improvements as
were necessary TO make the Springs at

A large number of petitions have

that the Legislature ratify and legalize

however, that two OF the trustees are

clothes, as the accompanying cut shows.
She is now al the Prince of Wales's,

WITH a vast amount of cleverress.
For long time Miss Tilley has been
a kind of goddess TO the gilded youth of
the English metropolis, but she has a
very level little head on her pretty
shoulders, and has kept entirely clear
OF the undesirable in variety perform

but plump young lady, who sings
charmingly, dances nim0ly, and has
succeeded in popularizng number Of
songs within the past year.

4 PARTNERSHIP LYNGHING.

The South has long borne the rep utation of being the home of Judge Lynch. Here, it is said, he stands above law and answers to no one for his many crimes. He can torture and burn. mutilate and hang without interference by the law and officers. This is the general impression abroad of crime and law in tie South and it is the greatest obstacle in the wayof immigration and development. However much we may dislike to acknowledge it, a great deal of the report is true. How many arrests and convictions are recorded of peo- pie who engaged in such outlawry? How many men have been sentenced to the gallows because they took the life of some supposed crimin al? Eff ciency of officers and the law to give justice has been no bar to these out rages.
 In Tennessee Wednesday, morning mob took negro, charged with rape, from the officers and after cut ting off his ears, fingers and thumbs and infiicting upon him al tte tor lures possible, severed his head from his body with pocket knives and swung his body in the air. The participants had doubtless heard of the savageness displayed under sim liar circumstances in other places, and wishing to show their indigna- tion at the crime and their high re- spect for woman and morality to be above that of the other people, were more brutal and multiplied the tor lures of their victim. The only way to deal with such people is to punish them to the full extent of the law. Try the method they use in reform ing the negro rapist upon themselves
 hang them. The crimes are some thing similar one is an outrage on a person, the other an outrage on society let the puishment be like wise. They will be quicker to heed the example than are the negro rapists, and soon the South would be cleared of the odium tbey have caused.
