 JUBILEE SINGERS.
 The Fisk Jubilee Singers are the real favor ites of the country. They have attracted i'm mense houses in Europe and America, and everywhere give the utmost satisfaction. N6uy uAto eHlC0 tO 1AAAtaec GAolu, ubkuR Luo1E name and palming themselves of as the s'Original Jubilee Singers" but the public have ere this learned that 1.-The Fisk Jubilee Singers" are beyond comparison and that their success lies in their merit earned. The Bos- ton Press says: ''The Fisk Jubilee Singers have been thoroughly trained in musical expression. No company, white or colored, has ever given such delicate, such deli cious musical shading. When they were in Europe some of the first critics in Berlin ac- knowledged that, in musical coloring, in crescendos, decrescendos and pianissimos, the musical people of that cultured city could sit at the feet of our sweet singers from Fisk University. It is true that the melodies they sing are, for the most part, simple, but they are none the worse for for that. Who ever wearied of hearing Steal Away or Sweet Home,' or The Last Rose said Berlin critic. begins like gentle se- cret prayer, swelling into an entreaty of an guish, till the deep bass notes roll out might fly and appear like potent pillars on which an invisible church is rising It is no wonder, therefore, that crowds follow them wherever they go." They will appear at the Grand Opera House next Thursday evening.
