 In the piano selections there was pleas ing variety and Mrs Aldrich was fully equal to the demands of the different styles. What seemed easiest to many, perhaps, was the little sonata. but it was in reality the most difficult Mrs. Aldrich gave IL d 1letsSlt lnlCiplGldllOil etiAO pAclS Cd it with grace and purity of tone that made it distinctly Mozartian. The andante and the rondo were particularly well played. The Chopin group was beauti- fully done and in her last group Mrs. Aldrich was never more brilliant. She was forced to respond twice to encores. MT. Hamilton was cordially received. It was his first appearance here since he began to study in Chicago seven months ago and every one remarked his improve ment. He has voice of rare quality. IL is indeed a phenomenal voice-rieh, full and sympathetic; and his enunciation yesterday was perfect. His songs were we'll chosen and he sang them with fine spirit and feeling With youth and hand some stage presence in his favor, as well as luscious tones. MT. Hamilton gives promise of becoming one of the worlds famous artists.
 Mrs. L. Block was the young tenor's accompanist and played with her usual taste and skill.

is taking the matter seriously except in that light.
 .So far as I have been able to learn no such consolidation of counties has ever before been proposed or affected. I do not see how it could be done in such consolidation.
 We are just as much interested in the full development of Muscle Shoals as separate counties as we could pos sibly be as one county
 But the spirit in which the thing was proposed is good. It shows the singleness of interest in the project for develop ment that means so much not for this immediate section alone, but for three states"
 Mayor Tompkins Talks
 N. F. Tompkins, mayor of Tuscumbia, said: "The proposition to unite these two. counties is not taken seriously on this side of the river, but it is accepted in tho spirit in which it was made We are all interested in the development of the i'm mense waterpower at Muscle Shoals and in this interest there.are no city and cour- ty boundary, lines. Here every man stands as one.
 "The development of this great power means more than the average man can appreciate. The development proposed would result in the building here of city that would practically obliterate all polt- ical boundaries. It would do more than this. It would cause wonderful indus trial advancement over a large part of the states of Alabama and Tennessee"
 J. T. KirIx's Opinion
 J. T. Kirk. president of the Tuscumbia Commercial club smiled when. he was asked about the proposed consolidation.
 No there was never any serious in- tention to unite Colbert and Lauderdae rnt1f1t ae. hn cafI s1,o 11 ready united on the subject of Muscle Shoals development and the proposition grew out of this we'll established one- ness of sentiment.
 "Tuscumbia and Sheffield may be con- solidated at an early time, but it will be longer before Florence can be taken in.
 But, with the full development of the immense power at Muscle Shoals there is no foretelling the extent of combinations that, would follow

 Lauderdale, not many really take the matter seriously.
 The opposition, however. is based sole Iy on the impracticability of the plan so far as the counties go
 There is a strong and growing senti- ment both in Sheffield and Tuscumbia for the consolidation of these cities, but the time is not yet ripe for that The time is farther distant, it is believed, when Florence will be willing to combine it's fortune and its destiny with the city ly- ing south of the river and in another county.
 The interests of Sheffield and Tus- cumbia are closely allied and geo. graphically they are even still closer. tie information to discover the divid- ing line now.
 But on the question of Muscle Shoals development the three cities on the Tennessee stand shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart. All the people of every station are interested and are willing to submit to almost any sacri- flee but the relinquishment of their political identity to accomplish the conservation of the immense water power on the river
 The conservation and development of this water power and the consequent improvement of river navigation all contend, will make it possible to build here on both sides of the Tennessee a combined city that will rival even Birmingham.
 One great Muscle Shoals City Is pos- sible with the water power develop ment completed as is proposed by Con gressman Richardson and the indus trial prophets of this community.

DROWNED
HordeS Of Others Homeless and
in Want Of Food

Toxic, Aug. 15.-With hundreds of
dead bodies caught in the collapsed
structures in the east section of To-
kio, 100000 Japanese homeless and
near 100000 starving in the prefec-
lures adjacent to Toxic and Yoko-
hama, as the result of the floods,
prayers for mercy are ascending in
the great temples in Japan.
The governments effort to give aid
to the shelterless hordes of men, Wo-
men and children and the futile ef-
forts of the civil authorities to bring
order out of chaos, have been pitiable
when compared with the tremendous
disaster brought in the cities and
towns of the Hondo low lands. From
Takasaki and Karasisawa on the north
to the Shiduozoka river on the south,
the sea has reached out and claimed
the land, laying great stretches of
water over fertile lands, destroying
lives, wiping out homes, demolishing
residences and further impoverishing
the peasantry.
The total number of dead cannot be
ascertained until communication with
the interior is restored The most
conservative estimate is 5000.

LOSS TOTALS MILLIONS
Brussels Exposition Partially
Destroyed by Fire.

Brussels, Aug. 16.-The Brussels
Universal International exhibition is
virtually at an end as a result Of the
fire which wiped out two-thirds of the
buildings and exhibits and entailing a
loss that is estimated at from $10,000,-
900 to $20,O00,O00.
No lives we're lost, but at least forty
persons were injured in the stampede
in the Bruxelles Kermesse, a sort Of
American white city,"
The fire, which resulted from short
circuit in the telegraph building, COM
pletely destroyed the Belgian and
British sections and practically ruined
the international gallery, in which
were the exhibits of America, Austria,
Russia, Denmark, Norway, Japan, Tur-
key and Switzerland.
The French section was also virtual
ly destroyed. This section was filled
with priceless works Of art, of which
those that escaped the flames were
ruined by smoke and water.
The flames were not checked until
they had reached the Italian section,
which was slightly damaged. Prac-
tically the whole of one side of the
Avenue des Natione, the central thor
oughfare Of the exposition grounds,
was wiped out A number of houses
we're also burned.
Millions of dollars worth of dia-
monds, laces, tapestries and art works
we're DESTROYED.
The loss of these is what swells the
total to such tremendous figures, as
many of the art stores and galleries
of the old world had been ransacked
for the benefit OF the exposition.
