that when she announced her inten-
ton of signing contract for an
American tour, there was no small
amount of regrets expressed by those
who sought to keep her on the other
side of the water.
She has, during the past few sea-
sons in Europe, come forward among
the greatest lights of the operate and
concert stage. The superb voice of
this artist has been heard in all of
the large European musical centers
and the critics have lavished praise
on her, calling her THE California
Nightingale" and Queen of Song"
Her voice has the surety of a queens
which none dispute. She is a sover-
eign in the world of art, this Ameri-
ii INTO her songs becomes a vassal of
her winning smile. If that note or
tenderness, the spirit that converts
the marvellous1y fashioned clay of art
into soul, were in this fair songstress,
she would be immortal indeed.
With a knowledge of her work as
complete as any artist enjoys, Ellen
Beach Yaw surpasses all other re-

Manager March wishes to an
nounce that the production of
"ParsifaI" at the Grand Monday
night is the Drama and not the
operate production; also that the
curtain goes up sharp at 7:45.

All admirers of the chaste in art.
all lovers of things beautiful, as we'll
as the many well-wishers for the bet
terment of the stage and the Develop
fit OF mankind will. with doubt. be
pleased to learn that the forthcom-
ing production of Wagner's famous
mystic drama, "Parsifal," is announc-
ed for Monday, Dec. 18TH, at the
Grand.
No production that has ever been
presented to the American public has
been received with such universal
been accorded "Parsifal' wherever
produced. Scholars and artists. press
and clergy, theatregoer and church
goer, all have joined in acclaiming
it the sweetest and most gratifying
story ever enacted upon the stage.
This spontaneous outburst of appre-
citation is not occasioned, as one
| would be inclined to imagine, be-
cause the play emanated from the
| brain of one of the greatest geniuses
| that ever lived, Richard Wagner.
| Other great men have written plays.
/! The cause lies in the fact that the
beautiful story told is one that ap-
peals direct to the heart and soul Of
every man and woman that has A
spark of blood IN their veins; that
every speech and action used III the
/ development of the simple story are
so intensely dramatic that one sits
absolutely enthralled with their pow
err and impressiveness. Everything
and all pertaining to the play IS so
different from what we have been SO
long accustomed to witnessing upon
the stage, that one almost seems to
be in another world while under its
magnetic and dramatic influence.
You watch and wait, with baiteo
breath, each succeeding action and
word of the characters appearing in
the play. You do not wish to lose
one word or act of the whole spec
tacle, for each one seems to be
weighted with so much significance
and relation to the one preceding
it that you fear less you might lose
the thread of the thrilling and soul
stirring theme and story. 1t is this
intense interest, this absorbing at
tention, that the play exacts, that
holds you spellbound from beginning
to end of each of the four atcs OF
this remarkable production.

THE VANDERBILT CUP"

"The Vanderbilt Cup" Joseph Gates
massive production in three acts and
ten scenes, requiring 90 foot baggage
cars in their transportation, will be
the attraction at the Grand soon.
"The Vanderbilt Cup" has been vari-
ously described as a musical comedy
as that term is accepted by theatre
goers but can be more accurately de-
style of play made popular by ''Littie
Johnny Jones'" "The Vanderbilt
Cup as its name implies, is an auto
mobile play and deals with characters
scenes, and incidents familiar to au-
tomobilists. Everything in connec-
ton with the play is surrounded with
an automobile atmosphere from the
first foot of the auto horn in the first
act to the appearance of Eddie Bald
and his famous Green Dragon in the
sensational racing scene for "The
Vanderbilt Cup" the most thrilling
bit of realism ever attempted on a
stage. Bald drives his car against
another ponderous machine at record
speed This is Bald's first engage
ment as an actor, but his sport in the
race for the "Vanderbilt Cup" is as
exciting as any which he has ever
driven his Green Dragon on the
track.

THE FIRST AIR BRAKE.
what 1t Did When Westinghouse
Finally Won n Trial.

Persons who should have known bet
ter thought Westinghouse visionary
when they were told that he proposed
to stop train by air. Nobody SEEM
ed inclined to let him try his plan on
real train. but they did not object TO
his working model of it In shop
where he couldn't do any harm or in
volve anybody else in expense He
knew his scheme would work, but he
could not make any one else believe 1t.
So he continued to sell his invention
for replacing derailed cars on the
tracks and to talk about his brake to
any railroad man who was willing to
listen.
well, have you ever stopped train
with this air thing of yoursT they
would ask.
No. he couldn't say that he had done
So Nobody would let him try it even
on train of dump cars.
One day he arrived in Pittsburg, sell
ing his other invention and talking
about his brake notion to man con-
nected with a railroad out there.
That's a great idea of yours" said
the man. 1--WE will try it on our line"
30 the OIUcldIS OI ILLS IdillOdC pei
mitted Westinghouse to put his new
"kickshaw'' on one of their trains.
But he had to agree to indemnify the
road for any damage that might be
caused to the train as the result or the
trials. The train was equipped. On
the designated day the confident in
ventor and a group of skeptical rail-
way men boarded the train on which
the first air brakes were fixed. on
went the train on its trial trip. The en-
gineer put on full speed, and just as
he had rounded curve he saw ahead,
at a grade crossing and in the middle
of the track, loaded wagon, man
and a boy and balky horse. The en-
gineer moved his little lever, and the
first train that was ever stopped by
air pulled up at a standstill several
feet short of the obstruction.
Thus, on it's first trial, the Wesdng-
house air brake saved life and prevent
ed damage to property. Thenceforward
talking was unnecessary; all that had
to be done was to make brakes. The
inventor thought Of that clause secur-
ing compensation to the railroad for
any damage he might do to the train,
and he laughed. His fortune dated
from that day. He was then only

THE APACHES.
This Tribe Holds the Record a. HaA
Indians.

This Tribe HOLDS the Record a. R0A
Indians.
Scarcely a tribe of our American In
dians but what have engraved their rec
ord of crime and infamy high up on
history'S wall, yet above them all is the
Apaches.
From 1910 to 1853 New Spain and
Mexico carried on so called warfare
with these people. The Apaches were
vastly outnumbered by the Mexican
soldiery. but what they lacked in num-
bers was more than made up in cour-
age and craftiness. The Apache ever
had thorough contempt for the Mexi-
can soldier. and in later years, when
they were fighting with firearms as
well as arrows, they would not waste
cartridges on the Mexicans, but would
kill them with arrows, spears and
stones, saving their cartridges for other
AID more worthy foes.
When this southwest region became
a part of the United States the Apaches
were serious problem with which we
had to contend. Our government vacil
lated between simpering peace policy
and the other extreme, their extermina-
ton.
Their zone of wandering being inter-
sected by the international boundary
line further complicated matters. They
would raid down into Mexico and then
rush back with the plumber to our side
of the line. out of reach of the pursuing
soldiers. Next it would be raid on
the Arizona side and q flight into the
wild mountains Of Sonora. The Next
can government attempted to assist
their miserable army by giving a scalp
bounty, and for years they paid out
their gold coin for Apache scalps.
Scalp hunting became a recognized In
dustry. The horror of this was that to
the Mexican official all sca1ps looked
alike. whether from the head Of hos
tile or a friendly Indian. The price
was 500 for a man, $50 for a woman
ard $25 for child. 1t Is small wonder
that the tribe sank deeper into saw
agery than ever when we stop to think
that the men knew there was price
set on the scalps Of their wives and
children. and there was a horde OF
human fiends, white In cplor, but more
savage than the savage himself. who
were hunting them as they would q
