Getting Together

The Grays held meeting yesterday to consider the challenge of Bisbee. It was decided to turn down the prop osition of the Reds and. issue coun' ter challenge. The locals are willing 70 nay Bisbee's expenses and offer them 65 per cent of the net gate re- ceipts This seems to be fair propo- sitior but the Reds have always held out for expenses and 65 per cent oi the gross receipts. It is though that the challenge will be refused on this basis.-Tucson Citizen.

Reujster Early

Register Early
 It is well for the voter to bear in mind that his name must appear on the great register before he can vote at the ensuing election. Already the number registered in Cochise county is evidence that the vote this fall will exceed the number registered last year by at least sixty per cent. The rapid growth of Bisbee, Naco and Douglas is accountable for the in crease.

Romance and tragedy seem insep-

Mrs. Bott, now that she has her
treasure back may sell it and by means
of the funds raised get back to Europe
and her friends.
Paganini once thought to save his
bacon by means of his fiddle.
Denuded of all his possessions by
i'll luck at play Paganinil faced the
desperate alternative or leaving sue
cess, friends and everything behind
him in Italy to go to St. Petersburg
and begin life over again.
And what was to enable Paganini to
get to st. Petersburg after the loss
of all his money, jeWelry and whatever
he may have once possessed, but his
Stradivarius violin?
A purchaser for the instrument was
already at hand, certain Prince, who
coveted Paganinis beauIfruI treasure
and who had asked the incompatible
player to fix a price for it.
Paganini considered his position sim
ply desperate. He had already won
great reputation but had dissipated his
earnings at the card raDie which at
that time possessed an uncomfortable
fascination for him.
To leave Italy meant the sacrifice
of all he had won already. In st. Pet
ersburg he would have to establish his
reputation over again and, might pos
sibly, never find opportunities such as
had occurred to him at home.
But, mark you, the romance of the
violin again. Even while the prince
is haggling with Paganini over the
price to be paid for the instrument a
friend enters and invites Paganini to
spend the evening at party.
1t is understood that there will be
play, as usual, at the party and poor
name in the world. He knows how
ever, that should his evil genius still
pursue him the prince will buy his vio-
lin at a figure.
With st. Petersburg and all the
chances of fortune before him as an
alternative Paganini goes off to the
party to hazard his last thirty francs
on the turn of q card, or very nearly
that. His first chance reduces his
thirty francs to three!
How inevitable appear to be the
chances for st. Petersburg.
But wait! the next SnuIle CHdnSeS

fiddle saved from bargain seeking
Duke
But, then, Paganini was always
lucky. He had only TO smfte the rock
and water was ever ready to gush
forth in the wilderness for his sake.
He was favored of the gods.
Twice when he had come to similar
desperate passes in his experience and
had actually lost his violin through
gambling he secured others in a re-
markable manner.
On one occasion a generous mer-
chant who possessed a very fine Gre
mona instrument kindly lent 1t to Pag-
amin for a performance.
When the violin was returned the
merchant refused to receive 1t saying
that he never could profane the strings
which such a master had handled.

Thus 1T was that Frederick Gilbert

about twelve years ago, it is related
that Mr.. Clark personally took his
body to Europe and superintended it's
interment in his native town, paying
all expenses, and was the sincerest
mourner at the grave.
Indeed, it was said that the musicians
death was blow to Mr.. Clark from which
he never fully recovered. He~thought SO
much of him that he named his eldest
son, Edward Severini, after him.
The alliance with the sewing machine
company ten years before the Civil war

his advise Mr.. Clark's real estate
transactions proved immensely profit

valuable as an adviser in the manage

and was finally made president, to sue

Found His Ideal in England.
She was the lady of his dreams-a

different from all other women that
Mr.. Clark had seen. In addition to her
exquisite charm she had fine intel

loneliness, and a manner sincere, sim
pie, enchanting.
To say that the man of books, music
and poetry, under those English skies

said yes. All England became heaven
