r EONORA JACKSON, the violinist
whose London success has added
to the laurels already won on the
IL Continent, was born in Boston
February 20, 1878. Her must
cal studies were begun in Chi
cago, where the family settled,
and after veritable triumphal
tour under the patronage of such peo-
pie as the Pullmans, the Higgjnsons,
of Boston Symphony Orchestra fame;
the Vanderbilts and Mrs. Cleveland, the
talented child went to Paris in 1891, and
was admitted to the Conservatoire, TAX
ing second rank In list of 165 candt-
dates
During a stay of two years In Paris
she appeared before the Grand Duke
Alexis of Russia, besides taking part
in concerts with such artists as Eames
and Plancon. Then she went to Ber-
lin to study with Joachim, who received
her at once into his own class at the
Hochschule, where she remained four
years.
Not only was her talent so remarka-
BILE, but her progress so rapid that in
the autumn of 1895 she made her debut
with the Philharmonic Orchestra of
Berlin, Herr Joachim doing her the
honor to conduct. Her success was in
Simultaneous, and shortly afterward she
was asked to play at special court
entertainment held at the Royal Opera
house. before the Empress ano court.
This was followed by a tour through
Germany and last October Miss jack
son won the Mendelssohn state prize of
1900 marks, which is open to competi-
tors of all nationalitieS, and to singers
as well as instrumentalists. She played
at the Symphonic Society of Cologne
last January, which is such an honor
that artists like Sarasate are glad to
appear without a fee. Not only was
Miss Jackson offered a good fee, but
at the end of the concert, which had
been another triumph for the young
violinist, the president of the society
came to her and said that, in view of
the rare pleasure she had given them
and of her artistic attachments, the di-
rectors had decided to double the sum
originally offered.
Not content with this, the society
gave banquet in her honor few days
later. One Of the results Of this sue

Croix to the Bastile by means of a
lettre de cachet.
1t so happened that st. Croix was
placed in the same chamber with Exili,
from whom he learned the art of mix
ing poisons. After his liberation ST.
Croix taught the art to the Marquise
de Brinvilliers, with whom secret muir
der soon became a mania. The mem
bers of her own family became her vic
tins. Her motive, if she had any out
side of merely gratifying a strange
passion, was said to be vengeance for
the Imprisonment of her lover, or to
obtain possession of the estates of her
family. She first practiced, the fatal
art upon her father, permitting him to
die by inches. as it were, as she fed him
the poison during a period of eight
months. Perhaps so much time was
occupied In disposing of her father to
avoid the suspicion that might attach
to a more sudden death. She then put
an end to her two brothers, and next
attempted the life of her husband, who,
however. was saved by antidotes given
him by st. Croix.
Although ST. Croix did not scruple to
waste In extravaganza the paternal in
heritance of his mistress, he was not
willing to become her husband, and
