WHERE CHURCH GOING

A Satisfactory Experiment at Florence On Sunday Night.

Florence, July 21-(Speciat Cores pondence of The Republicah)-Open air services were conducted at the Florence Presbyterian church. in the church yard, last Sunday evening, much to the liking of all present. The attendance was good. but now that it is found one can attend church and be as comfortable as he could hope to be at home or elsewhere, and have plenty of ice water, too, a larger number will be expected in the future.

 THINGS DOING IN FLORENCE.
 The substantial new broad gauge bridge. with double hand rails, across the big ditch at the junction of Will low and Tenth streets, Florence speaks of other like improvements which are to be expected soon. However, it is well for each citizen to bear in mind that the rapidity of such improvements will depend upon the amount of inter est taken in such things and the friendly talking up of measures for the upbuilding of the community.

New Lot of Mexican Hand Made Silk Shawls at the Big Curio Store.

There is always something of sur
 passing interest at Balke's Big CuriO store. Special attention is now called to a new lot of Mexican silk shawls than which there are few finer speci- mems of the weaYer's art. Like so many other Mexican manufactures the making of silk shawls is special
 iZed. That is it has been brought to a fine art. These shawls are all hand made of the finest silk. The shawls come in a great variety of delicate colorings so that any com pleXiOn may be suited and the trained clerks at the Big CuriO store will be able to give purchasers the benefit of their experience in making selections
 These shawls would make hand
 some presents and they would also

be valuable as souvenirs. They come in all sizes suitable for the smallest senOrita or her larger sisters.
 It may not seem to be the right time of year to talk about shawls, but shawls are frequently articles of ornament rather than garments of which so few are needed just now. Nothing is more becoming than one of these handsome shawls thrown over the head or the shoulders in the cool of the evening.
 Beside the bulk of the summer has gone by. It will not be long until a shawl will become an article of com fort as well as of ornament. The time to make the selection is while the variety is greatest.

The benefit of every doubt is given to miners. The greatest care is used before any report adverse to miners is accepted by the General Land office as a basis for charges against mining claims. Only claimants who are perverting and misusing the mining laws for fraudulent purposes have anything to fear.

Storms and Floods.

Jamaica, island of fountains" as It's
name signifies in the language of the
natives, recently damaged to an enor-
nous extent by storms and floods, has
suffered many fluctuations since it was
first settled by the Spaniards in 1909
Port Royal. originally town of great
wealth and importance, was partly
swallowed by an earthquake on June
7, 1892, twenty seven years after the
English invasion of the island. Hur-
ricanes in 1712 and 1922 and a con-
fagration in 1915 completed the work
Of obiteration of that city.
Kingston, the capital. was visited by
fire in 1882. which destroyed property
to the value of $2,500,O00 In 1S43 an
other fire did damage to the extent of
$1500o.000 in that city. In 1880 the
island was again shaken by earth
quake, and Kingston was damaged
considerably. That same year q cy-
clone swept the eastern half of Jamaica
and destroyed nearly all the wharfs
in the harbor of Kingston. The storm
lasted about five hours. More severe
still was the hurricane of 1903, which
almost destroyed Port Antonio and In
hicted damage in various parts of the
island to the extent of about $4,000
600. Thousands of houses in Kingston
were damaged. the wharfs were bat
tered. and several vessels were sunk.
Perhaps the greatest disaster In the
history OF the island occurred in jan
uary, 1907. when it was visited by an
earthquake which almost entirely de-
stroyed Kingston. More than a thou
sand lives were lost, and the destruc-
ton of property amounted to about

Most Brilliant Season Pre-
diCted = What Is Being
Done 10 Make Classic
Music Popular.
BY JANIS A. EDcERToN.

w YEAR by year the general Amer
" lean reading public Is becoming
n more and more interested in
grand opera. This is not only
true in the larger cities where classic
music is now heard. but I'm all sections
and among all classes. While some
who speak no tongue but English re-
fuse to grow wildly enthusiastic over
songs sung In italian. French or Ger
man, others recognize that music has
a universal language that transcends
any mere differences In words. No
one who loves q concourse Of sweet
sounds could fail to be moved by the
mystic significance Of Wagner's Par
sifal" or Gounod's Faust" or to re-
spond to the magnificent sextet In
Lucia" the duet In the Marriage of
Figaro" or half hundred other splen-
did passages, even though these were
rendered in Choctaw or Chinese.
The year now opening promises to
be the most brilliant In the history Of
grand opera in America. The center,
of course. is New York, where both
the Manhattan and Metropolitan have
put on several of the new successes OF
Europe and have gathered the leading
singers from all the world. The Man
haitian singers will also appear at Mr..
Hammerstein's branch house in Phil

therefore considered that he had edu-

crusade against tuberculosis promises
this year to be broader in extent than
ever before. While last year fewer than
100000 stamps were sold, the pres
ent indications point to sale OF near
ly 50,OOO.O00 for this year. The Red
Cross stamps are issued by the Amer
tcan National Red Cross and are sold
for / cent each. They are designed to
be placed upon letters and mail mat
ter during the holiday season. The
money derived from the sale of these
stamps win be devoted to tuberculosis
work In the localities in which the
stamps are sold. In this manner 1t is
expected that about 100000 will be
realized for the campaign against tu-
5erculosis in all parts OF the United
States.

viii take the leading role. For this
most part, however. reliance Will be
placed on the old favorites, including
wagner's, Gluck's and Won Suppe's
masterpieces and others whose music
aas been played by orchestras around
he world.
Ballet and Comic Opera.
At both the Metropolitan and the
Manhattan the ballet will be given
more prominent place than before. and
the opera comique win be introduced.
for the last Mr. Hammerstein is re-
sponsible. as be Is also for the bring
ing In OF more French opera than has
previously been heard on the American
stage. This year the Metropolitan
makes Il a rule 20 have each compost
tion sung In the language in which 1t
was originally written, plan which
requires largely increased number Of
singers Of different nationalities. This
Is made possible by its chain of opera
houses In other cities, allowing stimuli
taneous engagements. Thus while 1t
gives an italian opera in New York 1t
can render one In German ut Philadel-
phia and perhaps one In French at the
New theater. The salaries Of the sing
eFs have a monotonous and heart
breaking habit Of continuing whether
the recipients sing three times week
or once a month. As some Of these
salaries are up In the big figures and
hone of them beggarly, 1t is to the In
terest of the company to use Its talent
as much of the time as possible and
thus get the worth of its money.
The chain of opera houses is there
fore godsend, and for this reason, IL
for no other, there will be every effort
to extend it. The branching out will
be done by both the Metropolitan ana
tried Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago,
and. as already mentioned, the Metro
politan is running In Philadelphia,
Brooklyn and Boston, with
an eye toward Chicago. 1t Is only
question of time when Pittsburg, st.
Louis and Washington will be added
to one or both circuits, and other cities
will follow.
Some Operas In English.
1t is mistake to imagine that all
grand opera is sung in foreign
tongue. This year the Metropolitan
will put on some English selections,
