When the eminent botanist. Profess.

Down the street marched the lad and
demanded of the chemist MI. Elliot,

One morning in January, when the
heavy, a Hoboken ferryboat slowly
crunched her way through the floating
foes until the thickness of the pack
choked her paddles in midriver. 1t was
an early morning trip, and the decks
were crowded with laboring men and
the driveways choked with teams. The
women and children standing inside
the cabins were a solid mass up to the
swinging doors. While she was gath,

ocean tug sheered to avoid her, veered
a point and crashed into her side. cut

water poured a torrent. 1t seemed but

way to the worlds brightness and
cheer is worth while. One who says
an encoura ging word to a d~isheartened
neighbor. gives a look Of love to a
lonely one or speaks a sentence which
may become strength. guidance and

Body Comes From California To Rest In Evergreen
 Cemetery.

The burial of Mrs. E. G. Greenfell will occur at Evergreen cemetery to- day at ? p. m. To those who have dwelt in this city many years the above announcement win awaken a wealth of recollection. F. c. Green fell and his wife came to Bisbee when the present metropolis of Arizona was a mere hamlet. With his soufs-in- law L. c. ShattIck and John Heating, Grenfell located and developed muca of the ground that today comprises many of the Warren districts richest mines. Several years ago Mir and Mrs. Grenfell left Bisbee to make their home in San Diego. Mir. Gren- fell died there, but his body was brought to Bisbee for burial beside his daughter. Edith, in Evergreen ceme- tery. Ason, Bert Grenfell, also was brought from San Diego to rest in the family plot in the graveyard here. Of the six GoldfieId children still living, William is perhaps best known in Bisbee. He was one of the fore most athletes in this territory. and. like his late father, was a wrestler possessing unsual strength.
 Mrs. Grenfell died the 10th of this month. The funeral will be under the direction of Fletcher & Hennessy.

being necessary, and the admiration being mutual, an acquaintance sprang up between the two which eventually ripened into love and finally mar riage.
 Upon reaching the French capital the first thing Miss Yaw did was to call upon her old music teacher. Nine Marchesi. The Marquise having oft en heard of the fairylike romance be- tween the two, was very curious to- know the young American cowboy who had so easily won the hand of this California genius. She was most favorably impressed with the young lawyer and especially so by his clever, wit and humor.
 After leaving their camping place in the wilds of the Austrian mount aims, and while they were en route to Paris, the couple stopped in Vienna long enough to make call upon Mr Conreid, the former manager of the Metropolitan Opera house in New York. Herr Conreid regards Miss Yaw as the coming colorature singer of the age and it was through him that the hrima donna received an offer of a three years engagement at the I'm perlaI opera in Vienna.
 In speaking of her summer vacation the noted American singer said:
 We have had an ideal time during the few weeks I have spent in the beautiful country around Vienna Yes, we have lived a simple life, but that is the only way I love to live. MT Goldthwaite did the cooking and I can tell you, l enjoyed his delicacies far more than those prepared by the best chefs in Paree.

REGISTRATION SHOWS
 BIG INCREASE IN VOTE
Total For BiSbee 2241i Total For Lowell 1100-Grand
 Total 3,341,

When the registration books of Jus tice Hogan closed at midnight last night, they showed that 1869 voters of Bisbee had registered with him for the coming county election; Justice Burdick had 542, and c. c. Thompson 130. This makes a total voting strength for Bisbee at the coming election of 2241. It is the largest reg istration in the history of the city.
 Lowell also showed a great sur prise. It was thought that her vot- ing strength, as shown by the regis tration. would be in the neighborhood of 800. As a matter of fact, while the exact figures were not obtainable at late hour last night, they will vary but a few from HOO. This includes Warren.
 Of course there are a number of otherwise qualified voters, who have failed to register, but counting only those who have registered, the War Ten district thus shows a voting strength of 3,341.
