DEFIED THE AUDIENCE.
Then the Audience Forced Adelaide
Nelson to Surrendar

Nelson to Surrender.
In "Forty Years On the Stage" the
author, John H. Barnes, an old time
actor, has this to say of Adelaide Neil
son, the once famous SER:
zone quite extraordinary gift she
had-namely, that OF tears. At any
given moment or cue she could make
the tears mount to her eyes and even
run down her cheeks irrespective of
anything she was feeling at the time.
1t almost resembled the turning on Of
tap. Undoubtedly she had great
beauty-wonderful eyes and an ex-
presSive mouth, fine coloring of COM
plexion and hair and rather spare
figure.
Her appearance suggested wom-
an of Spanish or Italian type. AS q
matter of fact she was born of humble
parents in a village in Yorkshire in
184S. and her real name was Elizabeth
Ann Brown. In her youth she was by
turns mill hand at Guiseley (Yorks).
nursemaid and a barmaid. so the
strenuous life she must have led to
raise herself to the position she even
tually attained may be imagined"
An example Of the temper that some
times flared from behind the Nelson
beauty is included in this passage:
"a curious incident occurred in Bal
timore. The play was AS You Like
It. Mines Levick played Jacques and
had spoken the Seven Ages speech
very finely. gaining tremendous ap-
plause at the end. Miss Nelson (as
far as know without intent) said, Go
on, go on and the scene was taken up
before the applause died down.
'SThe audience got annoyed and
seemed to feel that it was being treat
ed scurvily and kept up the applause
In a manner which stopped the play.
Miss Nelson ordered the curtain to be
rung down, and then the storm burst
out. 1t became battle royal between
her and the audience, who simply de-
clined to listen to a word until Mr..
Levick had repeated the speech. A
silly scene, which might have been
avoided, but became an absolute dead
lock, out Of which there was only one
way. The audience was master of the
situation"

BAY AND STROLLER ARE MATCHED FOR 60 JULY 1 BEFORE WACO CLUB
Fighting Grizzlie" Is Matched With Soldier Boy; Excellent Card Offered By NaCo Club for Next Sunday.

After casting about for several weeks endeavoring to secure the best boxing talent in the Southwest, Mana ger Sid Coburn of the Naco Athletic Club announced yesterday that he had matched Frankie Bay. the Fighting Grizzlie" and Larry Strouer, for a go next Sunday. July 4
 Frankie Bay is known. as he showed in Naco several weeks ago before the Athletic Club, meeting Curley Bullard At that time he made good the boasts that had been made for him in regard to his class. He is located at Douglas and is training for the Fourth bout in the Shelter City.
 Bay is one of the best boxers who has shown in the Southwest since Frankie Gage appeared in Tucson and Phoenix, some two years ago. He is aggressive. has a good head. is good on his feet and has right cross that carries a sting. He will outweigh StrOuer some small number of pounds. |
 Bay was heard from last evening and declared that he was in the pink of condition, having worked continu- ously in the "Y" in Douglas since his bout in Naco with Bullard.
 Strouer is not quite so well known in Cochise county. His reputation. however. throughout the border, es- pecially among the soldiers is that of an excellent boxer and fighter.
 I've just completed six years serv- fee in the army" said Strouer, And l am opening a laundry in Colum- bus, New Mexico. I have a part of the machinery on the ground at the present time and my bouts are for the sole purpose of raising money enough to purchase the balance of the equipment necessary to operate I've got to win to get the machinery. You just watch my smoke"
 While stationed at Columbus. New Mexico, with the Thirteenth Cavalry. Strouer was matched with Johnnie Papke, before the Fort Bliss Athletic Club. The go was ten rounds. Ac- cording to eye witnesses of the scrap and newspaper accounts, Papke work 1 ed Strouer over for the first few rounds. During the last few, haw- ever, Strouer got into action and his | boring tactics all but whipped the lit | tie brother of Billie Papke. The two boys were matched to fight again be- | for the Fort Bliss Club but protests by Fl Paso people prevented the fight from materializinp
 Strouer is a miller" He is one of ] the most aggressive men who has ever boxed before the army clubs. He apepared in Fort Bliss, San Francisco. !. Fort Riley, Kansas and Fort Des Moines, besides in other towns in civilian capacity.
 Cuburn has an excellent bin to of . fer for his Sunday show. His pre- liminaries have been we'll picked and | their personnel will be announced with in the next two days. Besides the boxing there will be other sports of- fered in the Border Town for the fans and visitors,

American Officials Wait.

Tension increased in official quar-
tiers when consular message forward
ing affidavits of American survivors
of the British liner Arabic brought
definite information that the vessel
was torpedoed without warning, and
that at least some Americans had been
lost. One point remains to be cleared
up--whether the Arabic attempted 70
ram the submarine or whether 4
change of the liners course to assist
the already sinking British steamer
Dunsley, near by, was misinterpreted
by the German submarine commander
as a hostile approach. The attitude
of the American government is re-
ceptive, anxiously awaiting accurate
details and reserving judgment as to
whether the action was deliberately
unfriendly." The final decision rests
with President Wilson.

About Girdlcs,

Girdles which used to encircle mi.
lady's dainty waist are not to be found
in that region this season. They have
moved upward, most of them, to give
the new high-waisted effect. From
this high position they are apt to wan
der in and out of draperies, often
creeping under the full skirt to tie in
a part at the front or back of the
hem. One pretty girdle had three long
loops falling directly under each other,
and in the end of each loop was
caught a full-blown pink rose. An
other girdle of sulphur yellow was so
completely hidden by the chiffon over
waist that you could only guess at its
presence on the dress.

he will turn next. That ought to have

Must Hit Vital Spot.
"Close," Within thirty or forty
yards. the telescope says. But at that
range the naked eye is easily deceived
about distances. Probably some OF
the bullets have cut his plane. But
you must hit the man or the machine
in vital spot in order to bring down
your bird. A British aviator the 9TH
er day had a piece OF shrapnel Jacket
hit his coat. it's force spent, and rolled
into his lap. The explosions must be
very close to count. 1t is amazing
how much shell fire an aeroplane can
stand Aviators are accustomed to
the whiz of shell fragments and bull
lets and to have their planes pune
tured and ripped. Though their en-
gines are put out of commission, and
frequently though wounded, they are
able to volplane back to the cover OF
their own lines.
To make a proper story we ought
to have brought down this particular
bird. But it had the luck which most
planes, British or German. have In

begun edging away after the first shot.
and soon was out Of range.
Archibald had served the purpose

Fights In the Air Rare.

very rarely happens, except in the i'm.

Their business is to see and learn,
and bring home their news.
The other day, in the communicate

screaming overhead into the German
trenches. Four or five thousand feet
up were two British planes. with a
swarm of puffs from German shells
around them. Two or three thousand
feet higher was German plane. They
maintained their relative attitudes and
kept on with their work, each spot
ting the bursts of the shells fred by
its side and correcting the gunners
aim by wireless. The British aviators
always fly lower than the German;
they are much oftener in the range Of
antiaircraft gunfire.
