governess to the first wife of the late
King of Spain and whom the latter
raised to the rank of 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 singer merely married him
on account Of his daughter. The lat
ter was a lovely girl whose acquaint-
ance Christine made at Nice The sin
ger 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,
STIMULATING, however, that the singer
should likewise adopt him as husband
and provide for his financial welfare,
undertaking to remain her husband
only in name. The arrangement was
carried out according to agreement.
With her marriage Christine retired
from the operate stage and continued
TO divide her time between France
and Spain. OF late years, however,
she has made her home altogether in
Sweden.

SEASON OPENED FOR
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Special to the Herald.

| Special to the Herald.
New York, Sept 21.-Among the
Eastern colleges football for 1907
I makes it's initial bow today. The
first skirmishes take place today, be-
ing little more than practice games.
for it win be several weeks yet be-
fore the real battles begin.
The situation is not altogether love
ly, however, Far from it. 1t is COM
plicated and unsatisfactory. So much,
in fact. that it is impossible to fore
cast with any degree of certainty just
how strong the various members OF
the big FIVE" will be this fall. Judg-
ing from the number OF veterans left
over from last year Cornell ought to
be unusually strong. Yale has lost
by graduation and other causes more
than half the 1906 squad, but it has
some exceptionally strong recruits
from the freshman eleven of last year.
The University of Pennsylvania is for
tunate in having lost but two OF the
members of last years team. Prince.
ton has lost heavily in the line, 61d
reports from the training quarters in
dictate that the Tigers expect to be
well able to care for themselves. Har-
ward is believed to be in the worst
shape of any of the big colleges, due
largely to the uncertainty existing the
greater part Of last year as to wheth-
er football would be continued as a
college sport. Annapolis and West
Point and also the Carlisle Indians
are counted upon to show up well.
With but few exceptions, the sched-
ules of the big teams are much small
er this year than usual. There will
be but two intersectional games OF
importance. One will be between the
University of Pennsylvania and Uni
versity OF Michigan at Ann Arbor
and the other between the Carlisle
Indians and University Of Minnesota
at Minneapolis.

RENOWNED SINGER
IS SERIOUSLY ILL
Special to the Herald.

Stockholm, Sept. 21.-The Countess
de Miranda, better known as Chris
tine Nilsson, who was world famous
years ago as an operate singer, is
dangerously i'll at her childhood home
nearly the hamlet of Hussaby, on the
southern confines of the Swedish pen
insula- 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 au-
diences in all the capitals of Europe
and in America in the seventies.
The once famous singer is now in
her sixty-fifth year. Her father was
a peasant and she was the eighth
child. Her father was an impassioned
admirer Of music, and it was from him
that Christine learned the first scale
OF the musical notes. She began her
public career as a child by singing at
fairs and weddings under the direc-
lion of an elder -hrQther- QpEssa,x =
tair at L1umDy the singing attract
ed the attention Of local magistrate
by the name of Thornerhjelm, who
saw her parents and arranged for the
education Of the young girl. She was
first sent to an excellent school in
Gothenberg, where she remained two
years. Afterward she was sent to
Stockholm, where she was instructed
by M. Franz Berwald. She made her
first appearance at Stockholm in
1860, went to Paris, continued her mu-
Wurtel, and made her debut at the
Theatre Lyrique, in October, 1854, as
Voiletta in the "Traviata," with such
success that she was engaged for
three years. She made her first APP
pearance In London at Her Majestys
Theatre in 1867, and proved the great
operate attraction at that establish
ment 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
100000.
Her first husband was NJ. Auguste
Rouzaud, the son of an eminent
French merchant, to whom she was
married in London in 1872. He died
in Paris ten years later, and in 1887
she married Count Angel de Miranda.
Miranda was a very unattractive lit
tie man, the son of lady who was
