The Countess de Mil nmla, better known as Christine Nllsson, who was World famous years ago as an operatic singer, Is dangerously ill at her childhood home near the hamlet of Hussaby, on the southern confines of the Swedish peninsula.' The countess has been out of the public eye for twenty years now, but there are many who still preserve a vivid recollection of how her exquisite voice thrilled large audiences in all the capltsJs of Europe and in America In the 70s. The once famous sinKer Is now in her sixty-fifth year. Her father was a peasant and she was the eighth child. tier lather was an ImnHssluned ajlmlrer of music and It was from him that Christine learned the first scale of the muBlcul notes. She beiran her public career as a child by smfiing at fairs and weddings under the direction of an elder brother. One day at a fair at LJumbv the singing of Christine attracted the attention of a local magistrate bv the name of Thornerhjeim, who saw her parents and arranged for the education of the young girl. She was first sent to an excellent school in Oothenberg. I where she remained two years. Aft- I erward she was sent to Stockholm, where she was instructed by M. Frank Berwald. She made her first appear ance at Stockholm in I860, went to Paris, continued her musical education under Masset and Wurtel. and made her debut at the Theater Lyrique In Oc tober, 1864, as VIoIetta In the "Travl ata," with such success that she was engaged for three years. She made her rirst appearance in London at Her Ma Jesty'a theatre in 1867 and proved tho great operatic attraction at that estab lishment during the season. In 1870 she made her first visit to the United States, where, within less than a year, she Is said to have cleared nearly $200,000 Her ffrst husband was1 M. Augusts Rousaud, the son of an- eminent French merchant, to whom she was married in London in 1872. He died In Paris 10 years later, and in 1887 she married Count Angel de Miranda. Miranda was a very unuttractlve little man. the son of a lady who was governess to the first wife of the late king of Spain and whom the latter raised to the rank oi countess. The story of Miranda's marriage with Christine Nilsson is a peculiar one. He was her husband only in name, and never lived with her. The famous sing er merely married him on account of his daughter. The latter was a lovely girl whose acquaintance Christine made at Nice. The singer became devotedly attached to the girl and finally declared that she could not bear the Idea of separation and proposed to adopt her. The Count de Miranda gave his consent, stipulating, however, that the singer should likewise adopt hint as husband and provide for his financial welfare. undertaking to remain her husband onlv in name. The arrangement was carried out according to agreement. With her marriage Christine retired from the operatic stage and continued to divide her time between France , and Spain. Of late years, however, she 'has made her nome aitogetner m ssweaen. OOK at the solid fruit in pure sugar, too.
