It was the composi tion of this opera which occupied some of I t;ie la iter months of Verdi's life As by j Verdi's special request, all music scores . which wer;' found among his effects after his death were to be destroyed, it is im probable that this opera will ever be pro duced.

Once Paderewski wrote a little minuet in the Mozartean style, so th^ legend go >s, when he was a poor teacher In War saw and was intended to prove to a friend of the composer, a Polish po-t whose name is only less impossible to spell than it is to pronounce, that Mozart -could be imitated. The public liked it and C. A. Ellis, who manages his American tours, has received ?more than a score of letters from different ! cities where Paderewski is to play this win- j ter demanding that this minuet be placed I on the program. The letters will be pre sented to the pianist when he arrives. Orchestras will always have a certain number of soloists in a series of concerts, not only to give variety to their program*, but to admit one performance of important works which call for a solo artist. There is, however, a general tendency today among the better established orchestras to cut down the number of soloists. The Boston Symphony Orchestra 'has taken a lead in this matter. I-ast season it tried the ex periment of radically reducing the number of its assistant artists, not merely In Bos ton. but wherever it played. The result was surprising. Not only was there no falling off in attendance when no soloist was an nounced. but in New York, a typical illus tration. the largest receipts of the season Were at two concerts where the orchestra was alone. The experiment was so success ful that for the present season a schedule has been arranged whereby in Boston tihere will be solpists on twelve out of the twenty four programs. In New York and the other cities where series of concerts are given the proportion of concerts with si'oiits wilt be a little greater, but in many of the cities where only one concert is giv n there will be no assisting artist. It is very significant of the trend of the times that most of the cities in the middle west which tiie Boston Symphony will visit next January have had it sp^-citl-d in the contracts tiiat they want only the orchestra and no soloist.

Walker, president of the Colorado African Coloniza tion Society, in an address on the race problem, delivered here recently at the Central Presbyterian Church, said race separation was essential for the blacks as well as for the whites, because only by that means can the African race develop along the lines which nature intended. Conditions are steadily growing worse for them, he said. The only way to escape a condition that is rapidly becoming worse is by emi gration to Liberia, where a black l-epub'lc can be built up. Many blacks would like to go. but owing to high steamship rates and their own lack of means, they were com pelled to remain here. Tne situation, he said, called for congressional aid.
