GOUN0D SOCIETY SOLOISTS
AN EYCELLENT SELECTION OF SINGERS FOR HORA NOTISSIMA.

Last Regular Rehearsal VIII he Held

 Afternoon Will be Thrown Open to
 inc pubIic-It VIII be a Full Per- for,nance.
 The last regular rehearsal o1 the Gounod society for the proouctloll oA the "Hora Novissima" Tuesday, Apiii 1s. will be held in Republican nall this evaninp at o'clock. MT. Agramonte wants every member to attend pecau aus7 if ia the last chance there will pc to brush up the details before the perloriii- ance. Of course there will De the oresa rehearsal Tuesday afternoon, put thal 'sa ro+ber more for the soloist ana or cbestra and to detect any differences in the different scores than to correct faults in the chorus. So as the worh stands tonight after the rehearsal Il must stand on it's production.
 pebearsals have been carried on this wear very carefully and the chorus IS well prepared to give these two uliiie u,l performances of Professor Farhei s.Hora Novissima" and the Motet Au- stant Angelorum Chori.
 If is no easy matter to select the sol- 1oists for any large choral work, put III +ba choice this year the Gounod society bas heen most fortunate. For the so- nrano part Marie Kundel Zimmerman was secured. She comes from Phlladel- phia. Her voice Is purse soprano ol great range and volume with a quallty of tone that is lyrical, though with sur- fcient breadth to permit her to sing with great success such works as Gou- mods Redemption, Mendelssohns ot' Pa,fl. Berliozs Damnation of Faust, and many others. Mrs. Zimmerman has been in great demand by the chorai societies in different parts of the coun- trv this season. She sang the soprano solos in the Washington Choral society nroduction of the flora Novissima' last February under Professor Parker, who was much pleased with her voice.
 The selection of Miss Stein for the contralto part was most happy one She has sung with the Gounod society before. and has hosts of friends III New Haven who will welcome her. Her voice is a contralto with mezzo range of a peculiarly sympathetic quality. She has sung the "Iora Novissima" many times.
 Few tenors have so perfect voice as MT. Williams, and he is said to, be sing ing better this year than ever before. His interpretation of Golden Jerusa- lem" the great tenor song in the Flora Novissima" is said to be magnificent,
 MT. Miles, the bass, has what has been called the best baritone voice in America. Anyone who heard him sing the prologue here couple of years ago with the Symphony orchestra will not doubt the statement. It is a big, ring ing voice, full of fire and intensity
 The sale of seats for the Tuesday evening performance began Saturday morning and has been large. There will be no reserved seats for the dress re- hearsal Tuesday afternoon at 2:3o, sim ply general admission of soc and 75c. The full Boston festival orchestra, cho- rus and soloists will be present, and the entire works will be given as in the evening.

Grand Opera House.

People attend the theater more fre- quently in these days to find amuse- ment, and the kind of plays such as | "The Girl from Porto Rico," which
 guarantees a jolly pastime are the ones most substantially patronizad. It is for | that reason the so-called comedies have sprung into such wonderful popularity.
 ''The Girl from Porto Rico" is said to be a coherent, consistent tumble of de- l licious nonsense so ingeniously arranged as to satisfy the most exacting person l who desires a good hearty laugh. The | fact that Isabelle Fletcher, with the as- sistance of other talented artists, are | engaged in presenting this laugh-pro- ducing comedy is significant in itself,
 and it doubly insures a rollicking time
 at the Grand opera house tonight and | Tuesday, Wednesday night and at the
 matinee Wednesday. Seats now on sale Regular prices.

Health Com mandments,

The requirements of health can be
counted on the fingers Of one hand.
They are good air. good food, suitable
clothing, cleanliness and exercise and
rest. The first two requirements AFFECT
the blood, and as the blood .clrculates
all over the body, including the brain,
every part is affected. Fresh air af-
fects the purity of the blood. The
freshest air is out of doors. and it is
the duty of every one who wishes to be
in good health to spend certain
amount of time In the open air. GOOD
food is not necessarily expensive food,
Exercise and rest should alternate and
balance each other. 1t is quite posi-
BILE to take too much exercise, and this
side Of the question must be guarded
against as carefully as the other.

AMERICAS HOTTEST PLACE.
The Heat of the Death Valley Exceeds
That Of Other Spots.

The Heat of the Death Valley Exceeds
That OF Other Spots.
The hottest place in the United
States, so far as the official records go,
is in the famous Death Valley, in
southern California, dead sea gorge
without the sea. The valley is narrow,
only few miles in width. but about
1870 in length. 1t lies 400 feet below the
bottom Of the sea, and its bottom is
covered with a sheet of salt, white and
glittering in the sun. The Amargosa
river, although usually its bed is dry,
traverses a large desert tract in south
ern Nevada. flows to the south, when it
flows at all, and ends in the Valley of
Death, the northern portion of which
gradually rises to the level of the sur
rounding deserts. so that the physical
geography of the valley closely re-
sembles that OF the Dead sea, great Salt
lake. and other inland bodies of water
having no outlet. In 1891 scientific
expedition was sent to the valley by
the government, and for five months
n weather station was maintained In
the valley for the purpose of observing
the prevailing conditions. What the,
we're may be best understood from the
statement that for the entire month o
July the average temperature for boil
day and night was 102 degrees. whil'
an almost uniform record of 122 de
grees was maintained during the day
light hours.

AN ANCIENT EDIFICE.
PLANS TO REOPEN WAsHlNGToN's
CHURCH.
rrojset TO Restore the Old Pohlc Place
OF Worship Built After Plans Drawn
By George Washing ton situated In
Fairfax County, Virginia.
Especial letter.

Among the colonial churches OF Vir-
ginia none is more interesting than
Pohick or Mount Vernon church, stu
ated In Truro parish, Fairfax county. |
IL should appeal TO all lovers OF history |
because OF its connection with the great |
men OF the colonial period.
The present building was completed
In l772, from plans drawn by Washing
ton. The original building was a wood
en- one, two miles south OF the present
site, and on the other side of Pohick
Run. from which the church took its
name. The former edifice fell into de-
cay about 4769, and the present loca-
ton was chosen.
History relates that when the change
OF site was made, George Mason, one
OF the building committee, used his elo-
quenee In favor OF the old one, and
George Washington answered him with
a earefully-drawn map, showing that
the new place was the center OF popu-
lation. This argument won, and the
present location was chosen. II is just
here. according 10 tradition, that Wash
ington divided his army on the way TO

| ing al the forks Of the road He took
part OF his army by way OF Colches-
ter and part by occoquon village, both
| lying on 0ccoQuon Run.
Washington drew the ground plan and
front elevation. the plans for the pews
/ and the placing of the pulpit When
the church was finished in l7T2-'73 the
pews were sold, George Mason buying
two and George Washington buying
hnnt one and afterward another. Wash
ington was yestryman for 20 years OF
Truro parish, was active In the build
ing OF four churches in Fairfsx and
Alexandria counties and was also a
warden for several years.
After the revolution the services al
Pohick Church were held irregularlS
