In "Zingari"

WHH&"1H~@14@ @A9@@@HH3@@@
Leoncavallo's 'Zingari'' grows on
one with acquaintance. Last night 1t
was given its fourth performance at
the Tivoli before probably the most
crowded house OF the season. And
judging from the wave of applause
"Zingari" has made It's own place In
operatfc literature. The many beau
tiful melodies and Magyar strains
that run through the score are be-
ginning to stand out and greet one

formances as last night and "Pagli-

Carmen Melis has been taken into
the bosom of San Francisco. fgur-
atively speaking, and like Nine.
Tetrazzini, this city now claims her
as it's own. Since the opening of the
grand opera season at the Tivoli
theater Carmen Melis has sung sew
eral important roles. But. more inn
portant still, she took the leading
part in Leoncavallo's newest opera,
/ Zingari," when it, had$fts first Amer
lean premier at the TivoH not very
long ago, and scored an immediate
triumph.
Madame Melis has but three more
weeks at the Tivoli theater, after
which she must leave for Monte Carlo
to fill an engagement.
During the remainder of her en-
gagement in this city she will sing in
"Thais" and other operas, and she may
be sure that her departure will leave
vacancy in the hearts of San Fran
cfsco's music lovers

A. l.. Mcpherson Killed
Oklahoma

About five O'Clock Friday even
ing, January 3rd, the telephone
wires brought word to our little
city that sent pain to every
heart and cast a sad gloom over
the entire community. Every
quiver Of the wire seemed to be
barbed with grief when it hur-
redly stated that A. l.. McPher-
son had just been killed in an
accident, some seven miles east
of Elgin.
Shortly after three o'clock on
that fatal afternoon Mr.. Nc
Pherson and James II. Crawford
left Elgin for a farm some eight
miles east of town. They were
driving a very spirited horse.
and on their return. in passing
the farm house of a Mr.. Lock
wood, dog suddenly charged
upon them, frightening the
horse, which wildly plunged to
one side with such force as to
completely overturn the buggy,
plnning the occupants beneath.
Another plunge or two ierked
the buggy from off the victims,
and Mr.. Crawford, who had
grabbed the lines, held on and
was dragged several feet. In
the meantime, Mr.. Lockwood,
who had witnessed the accident.
had reached them. With his
help the horse was held and un-
tangled from the harness and
vehicle. In an other instant Mr..
Lockwood was at the side Of the
Frustrated man and had placed
the buggy cushion under his
head. After this was done, Mr..
Mcpherson looked around for a
moment. and then suddenly and
quietly passed away to the great
beyond. His neck had been
broken.
His son Evertt and DR.. Gamb-
le flew to his side on the wings
of an automobile, and tenderly
brought the remains back to
Elgln. Near relatives were no.
titled, and the body was en-
balmed to await their coming on
Sunday.
Funeral services were held at
the Methodist church Monday
morning at 1890, conducted by
Rev. W. z. G.. Humphries; and,
notwithstanding the blizzard
that was raging, was attended
by almost the entire community.
The sermon was most appropri-
ate and touching. and the music
soul-inspiring. The pail bearers
were: DR.. Gamble. l.. C. Coffin.
I. X. Bennett, G. w. Temple,
j.. Stone and j. B. Stackhouse.

relatives left with the remains

matrimony, at the st. Joseph

Mrs. Mary Ryan and Miss Alta
Hoffer were the only wedding
guests present from Elgin and
vicinity.
The happy bride and groom
left at 1000 p. m. for an extend
ed trip to the Pacific coast.
What more appropriate time
could have been selected for this
happy union of hearts and hands
than that clustering Immediately
near the holidays. when the af-
fections of the entire Christian
world are going out to their fell
low man. Wherever woman
plights her truth the consecrated
place is holy and the spirit of the
hour sacramental. True we'd
lock is the happiest of earthly
relationship, and is of a right,
and ought to be indissoluble, ex-
cept by an act of God. Next to
the Savior, a good wife is heav.
ems last best gift to an-his
angle of mercy.
We are told that the bride is a
young lady of many graces of
person, mind and heart, well
qualified to honor the home she
has chosen to adorn with hap
piness and love; and will, there
fore. prove to be truly a help
mate and companion to the hus-
band she has selected to bestow
her heart and hands.
The groom is one of Elgin's
most prominent business men,
and is well known and highly es-
teemed by everybody in this
community.
1t is with much pleasure that
the editor of this paper extends
hearty good wishes for the hap
piness and prosperity of our es-
teemed t0wnsman and his bride.
We wish them a joyous trip and
a honeymoon that will last all
the way through life's Journey.
