Society Interested in Summ ,r Opera

The summer opera to be opened at Lake view next week by the Elite Opera Com pany will have a unique interest for Bir- mingham, for while the leading parts will be sung by trained professional voices, the company will be- in its essentials. a high class amateur organization, as it will be directed by MT. E. F. Williams, and the chorus is composed of picked voices select ed from local talent.
 Not since the summer that Moreska sang at Lakeview has Birmingham had an op- portunity to hear such a eoterie of really good voices during the summer season. A mention of the principal singers gives a glimpse of the pleasure in store. MT. Charles c. Washburn's powerful yet sym pathetic baritone is already well known. Miss Martha Scruggs of New York, who has lately returned from study in Ger many, will take the soprano parts Miss Scruggs attractive personality adds an in dividual charm that harmonizes well with the sweetness of her voice, which is liquid and flexible in its quality. Miss Minnie Crudup Vesey of Nashville is ranked with out question as one of the best contraltos in the Southern states, and is well and fa- vorably known in the North, where she has sung upon such occasions as the con- certs at the Worlds Fair being on the programme with Victor Herberts band. Miss Vesey's voice is capable of a dramatic expression rare even among opera sing CTS.
 pr. William F. McKenney of Evansville. Ind, Is the tenor. He has splendid repu-- tation throughout the west and is now making his first appearance in the south The chorus, which has been chosen with reference to quality, rather than numbers is in magnificent form, and will do fine work
 The management of MT. Mountjoy Wal ker, comedian of national fame, who was with the Dan Packard Opera Company during the past theatrical season. assures the success of the comedy element so nec- essary to comic opera, besides giving the organization the benefit of drilling by a trained professional.
 For the convenience of those living on the Highlands special car will leave Eleventh avenue and Twelfth street at S:30 D. m., and go directly to Lakeview by way of Highland avenue. returning by the same route after the performance.

Toast to a Southern Beauty.

At a reception given recently at the home of General J. c. Breckenridge in Washing ton, among the toasts presented was that mingham, who on the occasions of her vis- it's to Washington, has been universally re- garded as the most beautiful young woman in the official set. She was the guest the past winter of Representative and Mrs. Bankhead. and her unusual beauty attract ed even greater attention than the preced- ing winter when on the evening that she strolled with young diplomat through one of the apartments at official reception, 1t was said that the handsomest man in the world had found the most beautiful wo- man. That her charming personality inn pressed every one who had the pleasure of meeting her. is further in evidence by the following graceful compliment expressed in recent letter to Miss Graves from Mr. Wallace Donald Mclean, the recording sec retary, District of Columbia Society, Sons the American Revolutions
 "District of Columbia Society, June o0 "To Miss Florida Graves, Birmingham,

 "At recent reception at the home of General J. c. Breckenridge informal toasts were presented in regard to the last annual convention in New York City. One of said toasts was responded to by all the dele gates rising. and was to the effect as fol- lows: I move that we now drink the health of that most charming young lady, Miss Florida Graves, the daughter of the con- vention.

Miss Staley Tells How Not
 To Grow Passe at Forty

Actually then and literally by exercise a new heart and lungs and new system of circulatory tubes will be obtained, more gradually, but just as completely as if you had exchanged your tailor gown for ball dress" said Kathryn Staley Wednesday in her talk on gymnasium methods to the Twentieth Century Club of Birmics sham Tt is indeed" she continued, Ito scom- plete the figure as if we had first to weave the fabric thread by thread before we put together and assumed the new gown But for the attainment of our own entire fem mine well being there Is need for more than special exercise and scientific dietary There is always the pleasing possibility of not growing passe at 40, the need indeed for growing old gracefully. When women live as completely as possible in harmony with natures laws each stage of life has its own charm; but the power of woman hood cannot reach its zenith under the age of thirty-fiye or forty, nor pass wholly beyond its burdens at any age. My ex- tending observation of society girls and of that dear, new athletic girl, who is be- twixt and between in many sections of our country, proves to me that the bud ding and exquisite immaturity of sixteen, wet with the dew of youth and with com- plexion of roses passes quickly, and sad to relate, even at this age too often marks the languor of i'll health.

Miss Carrie Bridewell of Birmingham continues to be discussed in the papers, her success in New York and the unusual in- terest of Mime. Sembrich remaining fresh in the public eye. A recent New York special in the Chicago Inter Ocean says:
 Carrie Bridewell, the American contralto, who was fortunate enough to obtain an en- gagement at the Metropolitan opera house through Mime. .Sembrichs interest, is now in Dresden preparing herself for an operatic career under the distinguished prima donna's direction. She is studying Italian and German in addition to learning the roles in which she will be heard here next winter Miss Brdewell will make her operatic debut in San Francisco. Few young girls have ever enjoyed such favora- ble opportunities for beginning an operatic career as those that fell to Miss Bridewell, and she has cause for particular satisfac- ton over the fact that she was the first young singer whom Mme. Sembrich has ever helped to an operatic career.

 4 HARD CAMPA|GN
Dr. Luscher Says the Winter Will Make Operations
 Very Difficult.

Kansas City, Mo, July 13.-Dr. l.. w. Luscher, who spent several years in China as a surgeon in the Chinese army, and is familiar with the country and people, is quoted as saying that the war in North China, particularly in the fall and winter, will be much more serious if the war lasts till then, than Americans generally sup pose, from the fact that winters there are much more severe than in this portion of the United States. Continuing, Dr. Luscher says:
 "The sources of weakness of the Chinese army are that they have no confidence in each other and that there are no leaders. Men who rank high enough to be officers won't drill their men. They are too aristo- cratic There won't be big armies for the Americans to fight, but hordes of disor- -ganzed fanatics, who are not afraid to attempt anything which will harrass the whites. The Europeans can whip their armies but that won't suppress China. They might be quieted if their leaders were in captivity, but starving them is more likely to bring results. Japan can whip China's armies. but its rabble will be q difficult thing to deal with"

 The records at the morgue extended only as far back as 1S75 three years after young Gales disappearance The detective then called on several of the oldest undertakers Tn the city, but though some of them had a vague recollection of such discovery none of them could give positive data The defense will attempt to show that Gales was drowned at the time he is said to have been murdered.

 NO one estimates that more than three hundred hands are at work on Anvil creek, with as many more each on Snow, Glacier and Dexter creeks, a total of perhaps 1,500 men. When I left 10000 men were in the district, and the only work was in unload ing or putting up new buildings. The former kept about 900 men busy, and the building employed about 300. When left on June 20th, between 800 and 1,000 men were arriving daily
 There are far more destitute people at Nome than people on the outside know of. l spoke to dozens of men, and they told that they had no food, but expected to go to work when they reached Nome. A meal costs from $1 to s1.50; coffee and pie or three crulers, 25c; a bed from $2' to s, or when you furnish your own blanket, from $1 to $15o. Canned goods are 50 cents a can bread 9 cents a loaf; fresh meats, from 70 cents to S1 a pound, and other things in proportion.
