"burned cork' usually is, however.
The company lacks nothing in volume
Of voice Or in negro speech and ges-

called plantation melodies, and we

sung were very pretty, and, on the
whole, the concert was good.

time, Brewers young and beautiful
wife sues him for divorce on the
ground that he wofully deceived her
