From LONDON.

A few years ago it was the proper
caper to wear q hat several sizes toe
small for your head and with a crown
on it no larger than u good-sized APP
pie. This was an English conceit,
which took the American people by
storm.
After q while n reaction set in, and
the reign of the big hat began. Bad
as it had been to see a big man heroical-
ly striving to keep his head from being
frost-bitten in IL little hat, it was even
sadder to observe a pnny little chap
with a small head stagge ring under the
burden of a hat large enough for q
whole family.

RICH AND SOFT VOICES.
Experiments With Colorcd Boys and Girl,
by DIR. Anton!n Dvorak.

Experiments With Colorcd Roys and Girls
by DIR. AutonIn Dvorak.
DR.. Antonin Dvorak, director of the
National Conservatory of Music of
America, has become deeply Interested
in the cultivation of the negro voice,
says the New York Sun. For several
months past he has conducted u class
of colored boys and girls, with the OBJ
ject not only of teaching them the clc-
mentary principles of music. but of
studying the range. the power, and
the possibilities of their voices. His
pupils have entered enthusiastically
into the spirit of The work. and if a
critical listener may find fault with the
technique of the art of their choruses,
he could find nothing to criticise in the
vim aud the intelligence of their sing
ing. When asked how hc had sue
ceeded thus far and whit observations
he had made, DIR. Dvorak snid:
Even the short term of tuition that
we have given colored pupils entities
us to express q favorable opinion of
their possibilities. In general they
have rich and soft, natural voices. The
cultivation of their voices, however.
has been of such n short period as com
pared with that of the whites that it is
impossible to say accurately what we
will be able to bring them to. We can
only judge by their present status,
that is. their natural voice and temper
ament, but think we have Il right to
expect excellent results. 1t does not
require voice and ear only to sing well,
but n necessary requisite is the san
guine temperament and the vivid,
easily affected, and susceptible
Imagination. ] have not noticed these
qualities so much in the voices of the
white pupils us in those of the colored
ones. In volume their voice is superior
to that of the whites, and in timbre it
is equal if not superior. Colored peo-
pie have certainly every requisite to
make good opera singers. Their fond
ness OF show, their vanity, love of
color, and inimicry make them natural
actors"
DR.. Dvorals SAID that he would like
minstrel show-not of the burnt cork
variety, but genuine darkies, who,
without any knowledge of musical
art or stage effects. sing and dance us

Mrs. Jeanette NJ. I%hurbcr, the pres
ident of the conserva DRY, said: ut is
one of the most delightful things in the
world to watch our colored class at
work. The amount of enthusiasm
which they throw into their singing is
wonderful. If their voices turn ont MS

THE SENATORSHIPS.

The Montana %senatorship fight is
taking shape and growing in interest.
John Ezra Richards is now in the field
in earnest and is making a vigorous
fight in his own behalf. The contest for
these two positions in the gift Of the
legislature is free for all, and no man
can be barred from becoming a part
iclpant, yet there are many republicans
who are of the opinion that the governor
is showing bad taste and acting in bad
faith in his candidacy. These gentle
men hold that he was elected governor
for four years, and has two yet to serve,
that to a great degree Lee Mantle aided
in his election, and that under the cir.
c%umstances he should now be helping
instead of antagonizing Mantle. Some
90 further than this and insist that he
is not a candidate in good faith and that
in making the race he is simply playing
into the hands OF the Helenaites,
and aiding them to secure the
defeat of Mantle, who is the special aver
sion of the gentlemen who live in Hell
ena. If this be true it speaks but little
for the honesty and political judgment
Of Mr.. Richards, but probably he has
lived long enough in Helena to be i'm
bued with the peculiar methods of the
statesmen of that burg, and has got to
be as tricky and dishonest as they are.
In the meantime the Mantle men are
saying little but they are doing consid-
cradle work. It now looks as though it
