LIFE ROMANCE OF
GERALDINE FARRAR
Grand Operas Daintiest Queen to Marry Grand
Operas Handsomest Baritone.

Grand operas daintiest queen Is to
become the wife Of grand operas
handsomest baritone king. thus COM
plotting the most charming of ro-
mances. one that for many months
has kept public attention conferred on
Geraldine Farrar and Antonio Scott.
Neither would admit the facts for
the longest while, the little American
girl and the towering Italian. both de-
Ginning affirmation or denial. but now
the time for equivocation has passed,
and Miss Farrar authorizes an an
oouncement.
When this marriage Is consum-
mated 1t will complete the life ro-
nance Of one OF the most noted OF
American prima donnas.
The first audiences she ever won
tor her singing was made Of up base
ball players. members Of the National
League Club OF the early and middle
eighties.
Geraldine's father was a profession
II ball player. Like his daughter. who
has succeeded him, he has known
what 1t was to wear the spangles. to
be the hero of the crowd, to hear the
glorious music OF applause, only In his
case 1t was home run drive. a pretty
stop. or difficult catch that won his
acclaim, instead Of high note or an
artistic trill.
Sid Farrar was his name. He came
from Melrose, Mass. He was edu-
Gated and able. rs well as being n
very handsome man, swarthy to the
point of looking almost like repre-

days when the Incompatible Charley

were in the zenith OF their fame.
Sid was home loving sort of body.
After the game he found little pleas
nre In the wild kind Of fun that used
to be the ball players ideal In those
days. He asked nothing better after
the game had been won or lost than
to go to his home. and listen to his
little daughter. "Dina," they called
her then. sing some Of her songs.
Gradually some of the ball players
and a few newspaper men. sporting
writer's, got the habit of joining the
party, to hear the little slip of a girl
sing her melodies. None of them
we're judges OF music. none of them
knew much about the human voice.
and though what they heard pleased
them, they little dreamed that they
were listening to voice that was to
be the marvel of Europe. and finally
rate its possessor among the most
notable prima donnas of the world.
Only little Diana had an idea OF this
kind. She wanted to be a singer. She
telt she had the material. II work
would give her the place. she would
succeed, and SO she studied night
and day, until her fame had become
local. and she was often invited to
oblige at little concerts held In her
home town.

Have Your Deeds Promptly Recorded

The negligence of parties in not having deeds and other instruments filed for record as soon as possible after they have been executed has been the cause of many losing their property. 4 nuInber o' citizens Of the county nov find themselves in predicament on account ot the recent departure Of A \ Dudley oi Douglas They bought property in Douglas and vicinity from hum and were given deed for the same, but instead 1f having the deed recorded tucked it sway in trunk or some other receptacle. Other parties to whom Dudley was indebted hsye now stepped iD and levied an attach nent on ell oi the property that the records show was in the name Of Dud- ley, and as a 'nsequence the property that Dudley had transferred, but the | deeds of which had not been recorded, was included ID the property under attachment and the probabilities are | that the attachment will now hold over all deeds not of record.
 Another mistake that a number of parties make that might cause them .o lose their rights to property trans ferred is in sending instru ments iu for record t. the county recorders office 
 without sending in the fees to pay for the saTe. Under the law the Recorder has ns right 10 place any instrument n record unless the fees are paid, and ii he does he is responsible for the amount of the fees.
 There are at the present time in the recorders office in "cold storage" as it called, large number of instrum ents hat are being held up on account of
 the non. payment of the fees, and un-
 til the fees are paid and the instru-
 ments recorded, the records fail to show the transfers or other deals [ affected by the instruments.

MRS. ELS UNEQUALED

 Talented Artiste Last Nigbt

Tombstone theetregOeTs who fail 10 avail themselves of the opportunity of seeing Madam Els in her wonder ful impersonstion-, are missing the rarest treat that has ever heen pre- scented To them and one that will probably never be offered again
 In that branch of histronic art which Mrs. Ellis has chosen & her spe. cial field she stands alone, nnequaied and incomparsble.
 Endowed Tn high degree with that rarest of all gifts, artistic ternpera- ment, she pts--s from one c.a.cc-oI to another with wonderful ease and gr4cefulness.
 Her transformations are sccom-
 lished with sSch marvellous rspidi,y that the spectator can scarce trust hIs own senses and believe that what he sees is real and not ieeting picture si the imagination.
 Mrs. Elis, who comes from Spain has played in all the principal cities O. Europe and her fame is worldwide. This is her first trip to America; and after having toured Cuba and Mexico, is now entering the United States, and there is no doubt that as soon a. her exceptional talents are recognized and herslded abroad she will cap rich harvest in honore and rewards.
 Her stage fittings and costumes are beautiful and costly, and she is skill ful in creating stage effects 20 that to each act was the setting of an appro- priate scene, She possesses grace of movement, voice of good quality and we'll trained, speaks English quite fiu- ently, with just enough foreign accent to make it charming, and dances gracefully. In her work art, cul- ture and refinement blend into perfect harmony. It is not using superIative language to say that Mrs. Ellis is the greatest artist in her line who hss eyer visited Tombstonc, and all of our people who love and can appreciate true ar: will fill Schieffelin hall to overhowing for the two nights that her engagement still continues.
