ROMANTIC SUICIDE
or an Hungarian connt-hn American
Actrrse mt tho Iluttum fIt.

BuDA PEST, August 14.-ln social
and other circles little else Is talked OF
here to-day than OF the romantic sui
eide and funeral Of Count Arthur Pal
lariclnla, a lieutenant OF hussars, who
was buried yesterday. The lieutenant,
a handsome young fellow only twenty
one years Of ago, became greatly at
taChed TO Miss Ethel harrison, one OF
the i've harrison sisters. tho well
known American variety artists, whose
doings In New York and Berlin huve
attracted so much attention, and whose
~Scandalous conduct In Berlin brought
upon them an order OF expulsion from
Germany.
Count Pallavicini sought In every
way possible to induce Miss Ethel to
return his love. but she only laughed
at his protests of affection and appar-
entity paid no heed to his threats to
end his life. II she d not alter her man
ner towards him. On Tuesday Count
PallavlCinia was found dead, having
committed suicide by shooting himself
with a revolver. In his left hand was
u photograph OF Miss Ethel and a clip
Of paper upon which the unfortunate
young man had written: II beg Miss
Ethel harrison to come TO my coffin
and press n kiss upon It,"
The strange features Of the case nat
urally aroused much comment, which
was not In any way favorable to the
American music hall artists and no.
body believed that Miss Ethel would
grant her lovers last request. But,
contrary to expectation, she appeared
at the funeral yesterday, dressed in
the deepest mourning.
The affair has caused a revival OIL
stories. In which the harrison sisters
have figured, including one OF the sis
terS with Count Barnston. OF New
York. Then 1t Is recalled TINT In Feb
runry last Count Won Wedcl, n younE
officer in the German army was arrest
ed for having pawned Jewelry which
he had purchased on installments. The
disclosures which followed showed that
the young man had spent quite q for
tune on the Barrlson sisters and that
when his money became exhausted. he
obtained funds In the manner Indicated
In order to spend II upon them.
