was success In every sense OF the

A NIGHT OF OPERA.


There will likely be a large attend
ance at the opera house tonight 1t Is
seldom that such high standard op-
cratic attractions as the Mapleson
company visits the city, and all lovers
of music will be there.
Of Nine. Mapleson's return to this
country the Boston Traveller says: A
large audience was present at Music
Hall last evening to hear Mrs. Laura
Skinner MapleSon as Lucia. Some
of those present remembered the young
ladY's appearance in 1879, when
slight girlish figure came tripping on
the stage Of the Globe Theatre in the
opera OF the Grown Diamonds" but
they were hardly prepared last evening
TO see the magnificent specimen Of
glorious womanhood who stepped out
in Donizetti's famous opera. There has
been an improvement in her voice as
we'll as in her physique. 1t is clear,
vibratory and under the most perfect
control The mad scene was splendid
" done, and in it she showed dra-
matte strength which was little suS-
pected in her earlier days"
THE DAZZLER TUESDAY
The Dazzer," which will be pre-
sented at the Opera House next Tues
day evening naturally suggests bright
and sparkling entertainment, and it is
not fulsome praise to state that as rep
resented by Cosgrove and Grants COM
edians this curruscating title is fully
warranted by their meIanOe OF fun.
There are no dim lights In this admira-
bic company of farce comedy people.
Most Of them occupy the best posi-
tions in the profession, and all are ex-
eeptionally clever. Anna Boyd, who
plays the title role, is a beauty, for no
other type of women could play such q
role. A lovely face, perfect form,
she adds exceeding grace. and has be-
sides unusual gifts as g singer and
dancer.

AHelena Man Gives Els Opinion ON the
silver Statue o

ANelens Man Olives Els Opinion ON the
silver statue Model.
The interest in the outcome Of the Mon
sspa silver statue business has not abatsd,
Rnd the eastern papers are still full OF 1t.
The sentiment 10 growing stronger all the
while that a Montana m should have
been chosen for the model. This senti-
ment is plainly shown in the following
ceived yesterday, and signed r. M:
1.-THE Montana silver statue affair has
created quite a ripple In newspaper circles,
and Justly go, I think. The action of the
commissioners in ignoring the fair daugh-
tors OF Montana, for whose benefit the
statue was designed, and selling the honor
to a foreigner for the paltry sum Of 5000.
was an insufferable outrage. Why they
should be allowed to perpetrate and erys-
talize this stigma upon our state is . mys-
terry TO an adopted son Of Montana. Why
there are q score of bright, beautiful girls in
the city Of Helena who. with blushing
cheeks and we'll rounded limbs, could have
posed as models, either of whom would
have been q credit to the state, and the
equal of the one who bought the advertis-
ing; III All.
make for Montana. II says that among all
she daughters Of Montana. there is not one
whose paysical anu Menbai Misunderstanding
was such a. to Justify their selection. Or
else it says there ia NO chivalry among
their brothers. else the slight would not be
tolerated. Missouri proposes to follow suit
with Montana and have a statue moulded
from her metals-one of zine and possibly
one OF lead also. One might safely stake
their life against a ginger snap that the
Missouri commissioners would not pass by
the fair women of that state. But if they
were avaracious enough to attempt 10, they
would find q solid wall Of public sentiment
against which they would crack their heads.
Let the bankers who furnish this metal re-
fuse TO comply with a contract which puts
contempt upon their state and snubB as
beautiful women as any that live."

THE STATE CANVASS.


Ono Return Missing and the Result WIN
BE Had Known To-Day.
The state canvasaing board met at two p.
m. yesterday in Secretary Rotwitt'a office
and opened the sealed returna from the
sixteen counties Of the state. When they
reached Dawson county they found that the
vote on congressman from that county had
not been sent in by the county clerk. The
board telegrnphed to Glendive for the
missing return and received an answer that
it was on the way and would reach Helena
to-day. With this exception the returns
are complete and will be footed up 40 that
the result will be known as soon a. the vote
in Dawson on congressman is received.
The members OF the board aay there may
be some slight changes from the returns aH
heretofore published. The only counties
in which the presidential electors ran even
were Dawson and Yellowstone. In all the
other counties it varied. In most in
stances the voters marked an x opposite
the first ~eleetor, which was counted by the
judges. In Dawson and Yellowstone the
judges counted all such marks for all three
OF the electors. constituting 1t to be the evil
dent intention of the voter to vote for the
three, and this ia why the democratic
electors each received the same number OF
votes. the republicans all that were marked
for them and so on. AT nine p. m. the
board adjourned until three p. M. to-day
when they expect the return from Dawson.

MR.. BICKFoRD's STATEMENT.

He Defends the Action of Harvey and
Eigbeo In Selecting Miss Rehan.
Executive Commissioner Biekford, Of the
board of Worlds fair managers. who is now
in Chicago, publishes the following card in
the Chicago Pest of Dec. 15:
$50 many MEASUREMENTS In relation to
the silver statue "Justics'' of the state of
Montana have appeared in the columns OF
the press that I deem it advisable to send
you a few leading facta in relation to it.
The idea was conceived by Messrs. Harvey
and Higbee, of Chicago, who have been the
egents of the state Of Montana in arrana-
ing the details of modelling. casting, mount
ing and finishing the work. These gentle
men, at the close of the Worlds fair, will
take the statue entire az exhibited in the
mining building on a tour of exhibition
throughout America and the old
world. The statue is modelled by
II. Ii. Park, whom we believe to be one of
the ablest ~sculptors of the day, as those
who have seen his work will testify. For
his services Mr.. Park receives the sum OF
$1,000 The castinR of this statue has
been intrusted to the American Bronze
company of Chicago, which ia under bonds
TO us for the faithful execution of its task
The height of the figure is eight feet, and
the value of the silver required to cast it ia
estimated at 500, 600 and will be furnished
by the First National bank Of Helena, Mont,
through Ex-Gov. S. II. Hauser and w. A,
Clark, of Butte. Mont. The figure will
rest upon a plinth Of gold valued at $3.50
600. to be furnished by the owners of the
Spotted Horse mine, of Maiden, Mont.
TIL controversy among ladies of the theas-
riesl p ofession as TO the selection of the
model undoubtedly grows out of the fac,
that Messrs. Harvey ana Higbee were re-
tanned by a sister silver-producing state tc
erect for them a statue different in design,
which / am given to understand was after.
