a AS the science of teectricity discov- s ered a cure for all \ human ills? Nikola eTesla, the wonder- ful electrician, an- nounces that he has devised a machine by which every 11- \\‘' her of the human frame can be made vibrate so as to cause a complete renovation of all the tissues, thus restoring to the diseased body a healthy and perfect condition. If Wizard Testa says truly there will be no end to the drug stores that will beicompelled to abandon trade. It may be of Interest to those who expect to be cured by his new process to 'know something of the genius who is to be their savior. Testa was born some- what more than thirty years ago in Servia. He is a Slav of the Slave, with all the characteristics of that race. Ills father was an eloquent clergyman of the Greek church, but Nikola prob- ably derived his inventive genius from TESLA'S LATEST MOVE. NO MORE SICKNESS WHEN IT IS COMPLETED.

As a boy, in the Polytechnic school at Gratz, he first saw a direct current gramme ma- chine and was told that a commuter was a vital and necessary feature in till epparatus. He at , once was interested in electricity, but continued to pursue his mechanical and mathematical stu- dies until he was ripe for graduation. Incidentally, he . mastered halt a dozen languages and finally secured a position as assistant in the government tele- graph engineering department at Buda- Pesth. Soon he left that employment and went to Paris to make his way across the Atlantic. He secured work in one of Edison's shops and at once entered on an entirely new stage of development. So quick, bright and original was he that Edison soon be- came personally interested in him. News of Tesia's wonderful discoveries was spread abroad and he leaped into the fbremost rank as an electrician. 'Indeed, thete are those who contend that he is greater than Edison's self, although his discoveries have been in an altogether different line. His last is on indication of his trend, and if the human body is to share in the blessings that have been showered on man by modern electrical research the one man to point the way is Nikola Tesla.

Two young Chicago ge Is had a roai experience during the recent festival.. at Dresden. The young girls, whose homes are on the north side, are cous- ins, and they are living in Dresden with their mothers studying languages and music. Both are very beautiful and are much sought after, not alone in the, English colony in that foreign capital, but are very popular with the residents of the city, says the Chicago Chronicle. Miss Georgiana Haskell, the older of the two, isa tall, fair girl, with violet colored eyes and a pink and white corn- plexpn. She has a wonderfully beau - t smile and her face is radiant when hted up by it. Her cousin, Shirley Puller, is directly her opposite in feat- ures and coloring. She has very dark, heavy hair and large dark gray eye& overshadowed with long dark lashes.. The cousins are very devoted to one another and make such a beautiful picture when together that if for no other reason than that it is not to be wondered at that they were invited to preside at a booth at a fancy bazaar given by one of the churches in that gay capital. The fair was held just before the holidays and the mothers of the young girls, after allowing them to accept the invitation, strove hard to as- sist in making the sale a success. With their deft American fingers they made the most elaborate hemp shades; made them by the dozens and every shade and color of the rainbow, to the delight of the good church women who had the bazaar in charge. When, the fair came off it was talk of Dresden. So many beautiful articles were offered for sale and every- body who belonged to the world of fashion attended. No booth was more popular than that presided over by the young Chicagoans, and they could have sold hundreds of the beautiful many - colored shades had they had them. The evening of the day before the bazaar was to end a messenger arrived from Queen Caroline of .Saxony, who announced that at non on the next day his royal mistreis would visit the fair. The patrenesses were delighted at the honor their sale was to receive, and all the- young people were filled with happiness at the thought that per- haps she would deign to buy something of them. The young Americans, when relating at home that night the antici- pated pleasure of the coming day, were told they should reply. , \Yes your majesty,\ should the queen happen to address them. • The next morning, bright and early, everyone was at the festival, trying, if possible, to make the place look gayer The above is one of the most recent portraits of Chief Justice Melville E. Puller. Juetice Fuller has aged con- siderably of late, his hair and mus- tache being snowy' while. He declined to serve on the Venezuelan commission. on account of his age. The Bella or Antwerp.

Rarely has the • music of Donna Auna, eidetic,. and Valentina been sung as originally writ- ten. but the powerfei aud extensive range of Tietjens' voice enabled her to dispense with accomnisdatiug trans- positions. For many years Colonel elapletion was Tletjens' manager; and it is just teenty years ago that Maurice and Max Strakosch introduced Mlle. Tiet- jens to her first American audience at Steinway hail, in an oratorio given by the New York Choral Union teeth P. S. Gilmore as conductor), and to im- rnedieee favor. Subsequent\; she ap- peared in a round of granNoperas at the Academy of Music, and became very popular, espe:tially iii Bellini's \Nor- ma,\ and in \11 Trovatore.\ The following season found this su- perb artist at her old post in the Lon- don graud opera, and later on In ora- torio and concert, enjoying what may be called the affections of the unmusi- cal tight little islanders; but Tietjens had now become afflicted with fainting spells and after an intensely dramatic Interpretation of Lucrezia, at Her Majesty's Theater, in May, 1877, the great curtain of her life dropped slowly and finished the career of a glorious singer and a brave, noble woman. It was in 1870 that the musical folk of Europe proclaimed the voice of the new Hungarian prima donna, lima di alurska, to be phenomenal, and two years later Impresario Max Maretzek brought her from London to New York in the very erime of her vocal capabili- ties. Such flexibility and such an ex- tensive range had Di Murska, that she was deemed a marvel; in fact, she was the only singer of her time who could warble the great aria in \II Flame) Ma- gico\ in its original key. In early life she was married to General Eider, an Austrian field marshal, but her eccen- tricites caused a separation from her husband, and her daughter was then left with friends while she toured Eu- rope to fill numerous engagements, in which, for a time, the flexibility, com- pass, and beauty of her voice held opera patrons captive.

IKE ALL HER celebrated prede- cessors, Theresa Tietjens gave promise of excep- tional vocal talent during her early childhood, a child- hood passed in a small bier keller, which was kept by her Magyar par- ents at Hamburg, and from which, in 1849, she emerged at the age of eighteen to startle the sturdy burghers by her magnetic vocal- ization of the titular rcle in \Lucrezia 'Borgia.\ The Hamburg Theater, being sustained in part by the municipality, catered only to intellectual and fastidi- ous audiences; therefore, at that period a Hamburg indorsement proved to be a Passport to all the leading German opera houses. Tietjens, although not what may be termed handsome, was, physically, a magnificent II specimen of statuesque wopfianhood, and her splendid soprano vole exercised such irresistible charm' and influence upon the public, as well as upon the artists associated with her, that slovenly operatic interpretations were unknown when Tietjene sang the leading part. In proof of this Benja- min Lumley, the impresario of Her Majesty's Theater, London, in 1858, tells this story of her gift of magnet- ism: \The occasion was the much antici- pated debut of Mlle. Tietjens as Valen- tina, in 'Les Hugenots,' when every nerve was strained by the management to make the first night a success. To GEORGIANA l .\. 1.1.1.. in honor of the royal visitor. Long be- fore noon the hall was cleared of the public, so that when Queen Caroline and her party arrived they should have the hall and all of its beautiful articles to themselves, that they might admire as much and buy as much as they wished. Finally the royal party en- tered, and Queen Caroline stopped first at one booth and then at another, ad- miring and purchasing the many dainty articles offered for sale. When the booth presided over by the Chien() girls was reached, her ma- jesty exclaimed with delight at the beauties of the shades: \Are these American?\ she asked of the young girls. \Yes answered little Miss Fuller. \Your majesty,\ added her cousin. Miss Haskell. Queen Caroline purchased two of the 'lades, and when the young girls were eroached at night for their thought. .sness they acialmed: 'But, mamma, we smiled our prettl. t and curtesied, oh, so low!\ Descendants of Dante. A descendant of the famoue poet, Dante, Count Dante Serego-Alighlero, the mayor of Venice, died recently at his villa in Grirgagnano, near Verona. Ills family descends from the author of \La DiVIDa Comedia\ on the female side only. The laSt male descendant of Dante, Pietro di Dante, died in the year 1517. His daughter was married to a Count Serego of Verona, and he obtained the right to add his famii) narrie to that of his wife.

Tietjens,\ wrote Lumley. \That she realized her critical position was attested by her exciting bursts' of animation at rehearsals. Her powerful tones rang through the theater and kindled the latent fire of Ghiglinl, the tenor, until all artists vied with each other in the musical declamation and dramatic power that made these rehearsals really brilliant perform- ances; and it was generally' feared that the new soprano would utterly swamp the popular tenor. 'He will never be able to cope with that powerful voice In the last act,' said one; while another wisely prophesied, 'She will completely swallow up Muslin': But on the event- ful night the magnetic inspiration of Tietjens was so great that the tenor was fairly car/ I /elt of himself and 'erer, ' ILMA DI MURSKA. sang Raoul as he had never sung the part before.\ Tietjens' repertory covered the works of the great masters of the first half of the century, but her West nota- ble triumphs were made as Leonora, in \II Trovatore,\ and Aliceen\Roberto Ii Diavolo.\ In the last named opera. she wale a second Jenny Lind, as her glorious voice thrilled through the house in a flood of melody unmarred by l'fili P ker t kelie t kep tl N1 4 1C4 4:9 04 6- 444r, 4P 1 0 P k DI Murska was of medium height, of exceedingly lean figure, and not ex- betordinarily prepossessing in features; yet she could be very entertaining. In 1876, with Mr. Charles E. Pratt. ter piano accompanist, she concertized through Austria under Signor De V1vo's direction. Her lark -like war- bling created a sensation, yet she was never popular, owing to her peculiar temperament and manners. She re- fused to be interview, or to see any person at her hotel, although she de lighted to spend her time in efforts to train cockatoos, magpies, dogs, parrots, monkeys, and other small birds and animals to sing. Of these she had a wagon -load, .which were toted from town to town, wherever she appeared. the colonies she married Mr. 41- frA Anderson, a clever music -teacher, and a month thereafter DI alurska was a widow. Then, a month later, she married again, this time with Mr. John iille a pianist, who is now the leader .4 De Wolf Hopper's orches1ra. slx years ago this wonderful singer returned to this country, broken in health and voice, and in such wretched indigence that her former - accompanist. Mr. Pratt, obtained some $600 in sub- scriptions from managers and artist to enable her to return to her natiN lend. She sailed immediately for Hun- gary, only to find her grtive, for upon her arrival she met her now poor and degraded daughter, and that broke her heart, while the lost girl shot herself at her mother's grave. To the credit of General Eider, it must be told that when lie heard of the double tragedy, he hastened to the spot, and, efter causing the remains of mother 1.nd daughter to be cremated, plaree n • :taie at their graves, recording onl I l good deeds of the most remarkable ly i/ ar- tist of her day.—From A.
