FIELDS MINsrRELs.
Strongest COmbinatIonIEver Brought To-
gether by n Manager.


Singing is the Oldest known music.
The voice Is the most useful OF all
endowments. Eminent musicians have
received fabulous sums for their per-
formances upon their favorite instru-
ments. But no instrumentalist has
ever received the pay or praise for their
work that the PATHS, Nelson's, Linds,
ETC., have for their vocal efforts Sing
ing Is always u eource of enjoyment.
Recognizing this fact AL. &. Field has
collected one Of the strongest singing
paroles ever brought together by a
minstrel manager. Will Walling, the
noted tenor, is the vocal director.
Arthur Yule is q late arrival from Eng
land and is possessed of remarkable
voice. He gives limitations Of all the
noted singers of the times, and sings
soprano, tenor, baritone, contralto and
bass, his natural singing voice being a
robust tenor.
j. Walter Wilson is basso of note, as
is w. 81. MCPHERSON. AS a solo singer
Mr.. MCPHERSON has sweet, powerful
voice, as clear In the upper tones as o
deep toned bell. George Hassell, the
male soprano. is another vocalist who
has won distinction. Harry ]. Howard,
another tenor, Is the author of many of
the popular ballads of the day. Carl
Thoman Is the baritone. Lawrence

THE BABY's GRAVE.

traveller safe, speedy and comfortable
transit to the topmost pinnacle of the
most celebrated mountain in North
America. The Manitou and Pixies Peak
railroad is constructed on the Abt sys-
tenn. the same being used on Mount
Rlgi, Switzerland, and Mount Wash
lngton, i'll New Hampshire The track
is of standard gauge, with roadbed
Of from 10 to % feet i'll width The
locomotives arc fitted with the cog
wheels which fit into corresponding
teeth of the rack rails, and thus absolute
safety is secured.
1t is not within the scope of this brief
letter to attempt any description of tho
glories of the superb panorama unfolded
before tho tourist as he journeys toward
the heights. There is nothing in Swift
zerland to compare with it. Tho Rigi
lacks 1000 feet of being as high MS
Pixies peak, and surely tho valleys,
gorges, canyons, mesas, passes, streams
and waterfalls of the Rockies are as
grand as those of the Alps. At every
foot of the delightful journey you thank
God for having made mountains, and
oil you can say when you reach tho
summit and stand enraptured at the
view is, "Glory, halleluinhp'
The marvellous cloud effects, the mi
RACES, the light and shade drifting over
tho valleys, the distant ranges of noun
tains, the awful chasm at your feet
form an ensemble of form and color
which cannot be surpassed in any couu-
try on the globe.
There Is United States signal sta
ton on the peak, whence monthly re-
ports arc mailed to Washington A
curious fact, by the way, is that they
have never boen able to determine the
exact location Of this mountain There
are three men on duty who remain three
weeks. They then go down in the val
ley to BIO relieved by three others Their
pay is 500 month. In winter they
walk up and down.
Tho fakir is not wanted on the peak
The first signal service man on tho moun
tain was wag Of no mean reputation.
With prophetic eye he glanced down
the centuries and beheld the great
American public climbing the noun
tain and just hungoring to be humbug-
ged. So Mr.. John O'Keefe made ready
the supply to meet this demand.
The lonely grave on the peak is shown
you where Erin O'Kecfe the infant
daughter of John and Nora O'Keefc
lies waiting the final trump. And after
you have stood mcurnfully by it's side
pondcrcd On the sad fate of the dear lit
tie baby who lies there in its last dream
less sleep a7id haze shed tear or two
over tie lonely grave somebody who
knows il thing or two GENES along and
laughs at you and tells you you arc
weeping and signing over likely little
jacl:ass which is BARRED there. And
then you aye moved to wish there was
lonely grave for another.
But I'll! the glorious mountains, lift
ing its kinsiy head toward heaven!
well can understand why it was the
Mecca of the pioneer and the forty
miner, and say to everybody in the
east who contcmplates visit to this
tremendous country, pass by other
places if yon must, but surely see
