VOICE CULTURE.
■,-■, - —: • |_- ■» .
Some of the Methods of Devel
oping Talent.
A Musical Ear Essential to the Making of
Singers — Locating Defects and Rem
edying Them- Fixing the Voice.
A representative of Tiie Call had an
interview yesterday with Henry Kirke
White of Boston ou the subject of voice
culture, and in answer to a question as to
what methods he employed he said:
"I hardly know what to tell you. The
method is my own, one that I have evolved
out of my own experience, extending over a
period of fifteen years. I think if it was
named it might be called the common-sense
method, as l'apply the most simple and prac
tical modes to bring about the desired result
"lt is true of singing as ot every other
kind of teaching, that, whether intention
ally or otherwise, the instructor throws au
air of mystery about the art or the science
of which he is . the exponent. '1 his at the
very earliest bailies and terrifies the pupil.
He imagines that he is to meet terrible diffi
culties, and that it is even a question
whether ho will be able to surmount them.
So, at the very outset, teacher aud pupil are
handicapped by their inability to fully un
derstand oue another, aud the bard work
begins at once.
A natural function*.
" Now, if people can only be made to un
derstand that singing is a natural function,
just as speech that the question of
whether a person can make a singer or not
is solved by the possession of a musical ear
or the lack of it— then the matter is simpli
fied at ouce.
" My own instructor, Mme. Erminla Ru
dersdorf of London, the mother of the
clever young actor, Mr. Richard Mansfield,
Used to say. to applicants for instruction
when they pressed her to tell them whether
they could ever learn to sing:
"' if you have an ear, 1 can help you. If
you have not au ear, God help you; I can
not.'
"And there the whole matter lies in a nut
shell. Auy person with correct ear may
learn to sing, even if the original voice be
small and of limited compass. But it is
hopeless for the person who has not an ear
to undertake it. By the proper practice the
voice may be developed in power and ex
tended iv compass to an extent that is posi
tively incredible.
aiding NATURE.
" Yen will see, I say, by proper prac
tice, lor what 1 do is to aid nature.
1 do not wish to take away tho
natural voice auu to substitute for it some
thing that is entirely artificial. That would
be bail art, or rather it would be no art at
all. It is an accepted truth that the best art
is that which keeps the most nearly to na
ture, both in spirit and representation, and
of no nit is tins mote true than of music.
"Now dues it not follow that in order to
assist nature the natural qualities must be
studied and the teaching be such as to meet
the requirements of the individual pupil?
Skillful physicians will tell you that in treat
ing auy disease the temperament and habits
of the patient must be largely considered.
They cannot treat in a wholesale manner
even palieuts who are suffering from the
same ailment There are as many phases
of a disease as there are persons who suffer
from it.
locating the weakness.
" The same thing is true of voice cultiva
tion. Every voice has its own weakness or
defect, that must be treated by special
means. My first object is to find this weak
ness or defect aud then set myself to reme
dying it.
"But I am very careful of one thing. 1
never call pupil's attention to the defect,
and he never knows what the particular ex
ercise is to correct. He knows that ho is
given it because he needs it, and that it is
part of bis special instruction. If I called
his attention to the defect he would always
be conscious of it, and it would give him
twice the difficulty to overcome, It would
be with him as it would with a little child
playing in a room which bad a bole or ti
slight obstruction in the lluor. Unconscious
that it is there the child plays about and
does not fall over it, but the moment his at
tention Is called to it he is sure to hurt him
self over it. Now, which is better, to call
the attention of the child to that which he
has not discovered and has not been harmed
by, and let him come to a halt, or to quietly
remove the obstacle or cover too hole in the
floor while ho is still iv ignorance' of its
existence?
"And so with the voice, go on and rectify
the fault, without placing stumbling blocks
in the way of a pupil's progress.
LATEST talent.
"More people can sing than know they
can. A large number have a latent talent,
and aro not aware of its possession simply
because it has not be.en aroused. 1 have
often seen the truth of this, but never in a
more marked degree than iv a case which I
will tell you of.
"A few years since I was induced to go to
one of our large New England cities to take
the direction of a musical society there. it
had been a flourishing society, but it had re
lapsed into a very sleepy state, from which
it was difficult to arouse it. My first sug
gestion was that an appeal should be made
to the younger people of the city to join it.
I was assured that there was no musical
talent among the young people. 1 didn't
credit this, and urged the matter more ten
uously. As a result effort was made and a
large membership ensured. The greatest
enthusiasm prevailed, many became my
pupils, and aid marvelous work. At the
end ot the season we had given two public
recitals of part songs, and we closed with
three representations of the opera of 'Pa
tience,' all the solo parts beiug taken by
members of the society, who had never be
fore been known as singers. Every church
choir in the city was reorganized, and in
place of singers who came Irom Boston and
other cities, the young men and women of
the town were employed. It was a genuine
musical revival, aud the effects of it are still
felt.
"I could multiply the illustrations, but I
only give you this to show you bow often it
is that talent lies dormant, while its posses
sion is unsuspected." HSB.

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
Decline of tho Fish Supply— No
Volcano Road Built as Yet.
The steamer Zealandia arrived yesterday
from tlie Hawaiian Islands bringing Hono
lulu exchange) as late as August llth, from
which the following notes are gleaned:
Reports from Ililo state that the much
talked of volcano road still bids fair to be a
long time coming. It is stated, however,
Minister Spencer is intending to put the
prisoners on the work before long, and a
force of fifty or sixty men will push It rap
idly. The materials for the new volcano
hotel are all on the ground, and that work
is progressing finely. ,
Coeducation is becoming a topic of con
siderable discussion among the llawaiians,
the United States being referred to as a fine
example of the admirable working of that
system.
In reply to a suggestion that the canning
of fish for export is a latent source of wealth
for the islanders, the Hawaiian Gazette
says the fish supply there is exhausted
every day, and fish are so scarce aud so dear
that hall the people in Honolulu who would
be glad to have a bite or two of fish on the
table once or twice a week can't get it and
are forced to fall back on beef and mutton
as their ouly reliable staples. Formerly
four large mullet or aniaama could be bad
for 25 cents. Now one large mullet costs
il, and even at that high price the supply
holds out only mi hour or two, and those
who are late can find none. The Gazette
declares that Honolulu is not the place to
start a fish cannery, as all kinds of fish are
becoming every year smaller and dearer,
and llawaiians have to send to Oregon and
New Zealand for canned fish.
The Hon. J. Moit-Siuuh has been ap
pointed by her Majesty tho Queen Minister
of Finance, vice Hon. 11. A. Widemaun, re
signed. Dr. Smith is well known to the
older resident., of the islands as having filled
the i dices of both Minister of Finance and
Interior some twelve or fifteen years since
and is familiar with all the duties Connected

THEY ARE ALL SORRY.
But Just the Same They Must Answer
fur Contempt.
Eugene Deuprey, Henry Hutton and
Alfred Fuhrmau, who iv connection with
the Traeger trial some two weeks ago, got
Into a bloody row In the corridor of the
new City Hall, appeared before Judge Heb
bard yesterday, to answer for contempt of
court. W. W. Foote appeared for Mr. Deu
prey, and Mich Mullauey for Hutton and
Fuhrman. .
Both attorneys presented demurrers to
the affidavit filed by the District Attorney
charging contempt, urging luck of Jurisdic
tion The acts of the accused, on which the
charge of contempt is based, look place out
side the court-room. Mr. Foote maintained
that a Judge must punish at once for con
tempt in his immediate presence, while the
court is in session, or lie loses jurisdiction.
lie added that the parties coucerued re
gretted the affair very much, aud certainly
did not mean to offend the Court.
Judge Hebbard overruled the demurrers,
and theu the respondents filed counter affi
davits. Mr. Foote was willing to submit
the case on au argued statement of facts,
but the Judge preferred to hear it regularly,
and so continued it until Saturday next at
0 o'clock in the morning.

Frank Soto Iteceives a Fatal Injection of

Frank Soto, a Mexican, was taken to the

An examination showed that lie was suffer
ing from morphine poisoning liypoderm

BIJOU THEATER.
Houghton's Share in the Building Limited
to IS 10,000.
Judge Levy yesterday rendered a decision
in the case of the Bijou Theater against
Isaac Trumbo and others, of which Hilly
Emerson is one. It appears that one of the
plaintiffs, 11. A. Houghton, put 810,000 itita
the building and went to Europe, and upon
I bis return Trumbo presented a claim for
over iSO.OOO spent on the build andabout
830.000 losses in theatricals.
Houghton brought suit to limit his share
to 810,000, and have it declared that he was
not a party to the theatrical business; but to
charge the additional expenses and all the
theater losses to Trumbo, also fur a receiver
and for a specific performance of the agree
ment to lease the building for live years, it
being erected on thu land of the Sliillatier
estate.
The case was ardently contested and yes
terday the court decided in favor of Hough
ton, limiting his shire to 810,000 and hold
ing that he was not in the theater business
and that the defendants must stand the
losses. The court also granted a receiver
and specific performance, and ordered that
the defendants pay to the plaintiff one-third
of tho rents due as prayed.
WAS IT KITTY MALLOY?
Snpposed Identification of the Suicide
on Sunday.
It is believed that the young woman who
committed suicide on Sunday night by
leaping into' the bay from tlie ferry steamer
Newark was Kitty Malloy. Joseoh Josephs,
a harkman, informed tlie police yesterday
that he drove Kilty from the Hillsdale
House on Sixth street to the ferry on that
night. On the way down Market street she
stopped at the Grand Hotel drug-store,
where she bought a buttle of something
which she said was perfumery. After ar
riving nt tho ferry she laughed merrily as
she informed the hackman that she in
tended to commit suicide. Josephs further
says that the woman made an appointment
with him to meet her at the ferry upon the
arrival of the last boat from Oakland, as
sho wanted him to take her back to the
Hillsdale House. She did not appear and
lias not been beard of since. His descrip
tion of Kitty answers to that given of the
woman who jumped from the steamer.

Wreck of a Schooner— Another Ocean Face.
No More Entry at Port Costa-Move
ments and Charters.
The mail steamship Zealandia arrived at
noon yesterday from Honolulu, b-'t ths
only maritime news of Importance she
brought was that of the loss of the schooner
Mary on the night of August 7th at Mahin
auli. The schooner was trying to beat out
of the harbor, but was driven ashore by the
strong head winds. A message was sent to
Koloa, where the steamer Mikahala was at
anchor, asking her to go to their assistance.
She did not move until the next morning,
ana long before that time the schooner was
a total wreck. No lives were lost, although
the crew had a narrow escape.
The ship A. J, Fuller finished loading last
night and will haul out into the stream to
day. The vacant berth will be taken by
the ship Commodore T. H. Allen, also
booked for New York.
SOME ONE FILLED nIM UP.
The stury published in a morning paper,
that the captain of the French ship Val
paraiso tilled up his crew from the Dnbour
dieu and outwitted the boarding-masters, is
out of whole cloth. Every one at all famil
iar with naval rules knows that the only
time when a war-ship of any nation sends
men on board a merchantman is when they
go as a prize crew. The full crew taken
from this port by the Valparaiso was sup
plied by the boarding-masters and shipped
in the ordinary maimer.
The Second steamer of the new line be

entered direct at Port Costa.
A dispatch from Havre states that while
the Hritish ship Thalatta was discharging
at that port she was seriously damaged by
tbe ship Nerna colliding with her while

and a portion of her rail.
The United States steamer Pensacola was
placed on the dry-dock on Monday night for
an overhauling, but whether she will go out
of commission or will be repaired and made
ready for sea will depend on the reports
made as to her condition.
A gang of men was at work yesterday en

HAItBOK COMMISSIONERS.
Owens Bros.' Contract Will Be Assigned
to Another Firm.
The narbor Commissioners yesterday
again postponed the matter of the forfeituro
of Owens Bros.' contract for Section B of
the sea-wall until this afternoon. Three of
Owens Bros.' bondsmen appeared beforethe
board and stated that they are willing that
the contract be assigned to Darby & Lay
den, who, it was stated, would carry out the
agreement with the State under the original
terms. Two of the bondsmen were absent
and the matter went over until to-day.
Captains Chapman and Sutton asked the
board for indemnification fur the loss of 100
tons of coal, which sank through Fremont
street Wharf several days ago. Acting
under advice of the attorney of the board,
the Commissioners replied that they had not
power to grant any relief, and that the
proper way was to file a claim with the
Legislature for all damages sustained. They
agreed, however, to take the coal out of the
bay.
The attorney of the hoard also filed an
opinion with the Commissioners that the
five water-front lots on Channel street, be
tween Fifth and Ninth, are the property of
the State. Counsel for the Southern l'acitic
Company filed counter opinions.
• A CROWING HEX.
After Several Weeks' Practice at It She
Acquires the Art.
The following chicken story, says the
Mountain View Register, is vouched for by
one of our ranchmen:
His entire flock of chickens consists of
four hens— not a rooster has been on the
premises up to three weeks ago for six
months past.
Some three months ago one of the bens
became so disgusted because thero was no
chanticleer to answer tho bantering notes
ot the neighbors' roosters that she con
cluded to do it herself. For the first few
weeks the noise she made was enough to
discourage a less determined fowl, being a
mixture of a squall, crow and cackle; but
practice makes perfect, and now she gets it
on' in pretty good style.
A few days ago a neighbor sent over a
rooster, which for a day or so seemed con
tented, but finally became so offended with
that strong-minded hen that be left the
place in disgust, golnsr back to his home,
which was nearly a half mile away.
A Buzzard Uleclrooutod.
One afternoon about 3 o'clock, just before
a heavy shower, several gentlemen were sit
ting in front of a store iv West Nashville
when one of the party observed a large
turkey buzzard that wassailing majestically
across the sky, and remarked that if tho
buzzard did not look out he would get wet.
Their attention was thus called to the
bird and all were lazily watching its flight,
when suddenly, just as it was opposite and
above them, tliey were blinded by a flash of
lightning, which seemingly exploded uu the
back of the buzz
They were astonished somewhat, but re
covered themselves and looked for the buz
zard, but alas, the majestic bird was out of
Sight. All that was left of him was a few
black tall feathers, which fluttered patheti
cally to the ground. Those who witnessed
the phenomenon succeeded in catching sev
eral of tho scorched feathers.which they ex
hibit in corroboration of tho story.—Nash

A Useful Cement.
A man who is in the business says: . Over
a dozen' kinds of cement are made which
will unite the broken edges, of .glass .and
china, and otic fa. about as good as another.
Tbe easiest and cheapest to prepare Is made
by Uklujt two ounces of pulverized white
gum shellac and half an ounce of gum i mas
tic. Soak • them ■ together . in a couple of
ounces of sulphuric ether and add half : a
Pint of alcohol. After the . whole is dis
solved the ■ preparation is ready for use.
You heat the edges of the article to be
mended, put on the cement with a • brush,
hold firmly till the cement has set, lay the
article away for a week, ami it will break
anywhere else than in the mended place.
STREET DEPARTMENT.
Work Accomplished During tit? Year and
Its Cost.
The Superintendent of Streets filed his
annual report with the Board of Super
visors yesterday, showing that thero have
been 4 4-5 miles of streets paved with basalt
blocks, 4 2-5 miles with bituminous rock and
one-fifth of a mile with cobbles;. also, 11 2-5
miles of streets added to the accepted streets
of the city and 22 1-5 miles of sewers built.
In the opinion of the Superintendent the
work of repairing those accepted streets
now paved with cobbles should precede all
other street improvement for the next year
or two, except cleaning and repairing sew
ers. Basalt blocks or bituminous rock
should be used for such work. The im
portance of a new sewer system for the
entire city is again urged.
The expenditures for the year were 8363,
--831 19, divided as follows- For the first half
of the fiscal year, 8120,066 01 and the second
half 8109,305 70. The appropriation for the
last fiscal year was 8308.205 05. The work
done by property-owners at their own ex
pense amounts to 81,071,050 2L
As to the poultice pavement, commonly
called bituminous rock. Mr. Gilleran iys it
is more desirable than all other pavements,
because it is clean and noiseless, but there
is a question, he admits, about its durability.
