MUSIC HALL ARTISTS PAY
Sixty Years Ago They Got Four or Six Shilllnss and an Allowance
 of Gin.

Music hall artists salaries have increased during the last so years. In 1042 a writer in Blackwood's on London entertainments stated that the chief music halls of the metropo- lis "the the Catherine Wheel in Windmill street, the Mogul in Dru- " lane and the Eagle in the City road. These contain spacious apart ments fitted up for hundreds of both sexes, having at the upper end a platform on which is g grand piano. The singers usually include a prima donna or sentimental leader, basso. a primo buffo and one or two other nondescripts. The music is of a pop ular class-songs of our English school, though airs from Auber and Belllni adapted to English words are well received. Six shillings is the usual nightly remuneration of in- strumental, and four shillings of vo- cal performers, with a reasonable al- loWance of gin and water. The price of admission varies from two pence to one shilling, according to place." London Chronicle.

Besides, during the last four years,
when all the Camorra chiefs have
been under arrest and the Camorra
was supposed to have been disorgan-

several occasions surprised secret

names of some Of the chiefs who had
been elected instead of those arrested

that he was led astray by a woman
