= AT TIE, GRAND -
A Good Minstrel.


Al G. Fields minstrel was the at
traction at the Grand last night, and
as is always the case when this
minstrel king comes to Brunswick, a
crowded house was present to greet
the burnt-cork artists.
Mr.. Field has this season one of the
best companies in his twenty-onc
years of the business, and when the
former entertainments are recalled IL
can be seen that better than ever
means something.
Fields Minstrels this season in
cludes about sixty men. all good dress
ers, clever and capable. In the first
part, which introduces the "Gridiron
Club" feature, the singing is splendid.
The several solos and ensembles were
greatly enjoyed and often recalled.
Press Eldredge was very much in evil
dence and his songs were highly
amusing. Others sang some beautiful
ballads, and the double quartette Civ
lllS lllt ldIlOttN OCAtCItC AAolh AUS'-A
di Lammermoor, took the audiences
by storm 1t was an exquisite pre-
sentation of a most beautiful COM
position. The fun following the in
PRODUCTION of the various notables
gave ample excuse for laughter. AL
Fields monologue, with Interruptions
nd
appreciated by all of his friends. His
personal popularity is something that
can not be denied, and Mr.. Field val
ues the kind words of his friends
above all else.
The musical sketches, the dancing
sketch, Roll on Silvery Moon" ana
the weird and fantastic conceit,
"Dreamland Phantoms." were all good.
Never has Mr.. Field used so much
of the up-todate scenic accessories,
and the results obtained are artistic
and interesting. The entire enter
tainment given is a delight. There
is not Il dull minute from first to last,
and everything offered is the best
that money, ingenuity and taste can
secure.
Summing it up, Fields Ministries
are Greater" in more ways than
name, and all who have the oppor
tunity should see and hear them. The
hours spent with Fields Minstrels
| will prove good medicine for thai
tired feeling" and all of the other
disagreeable periods that haunt more
or less frequently the lives of those

MADAM THEIRS PEARL
NECKLACE On DEATH BED

In the Louvre museum at Paris
is to be seen pearl necklace on
its death bed. Not literally on a
bed but on a velvet cushion. 1t is
the great necklace left by the great
diplomat and statesman, Theirs,
which once belonged to this promi-
nent statesman's deceased wife.
1t is mounted in an unostenta-
tious style and has no value as an
article de vertu beyond the former
value of the pearls, which was
about 500, 1000. 1t consists of f45
pearls in three rows which weigh
altogether 20e7 grains. The largest
three pearls weigh 80, 80 and 81
grains respectively.
The pearls of this necklace are
destined to die, says the Deutsche
Goldschmiede Zeitung, as they are
gradually losing their luster from
day to day, and will, in the next
few decades, turn as black as the
faded roses of a much handled
wreath. But why2 Because pearls
will only retain their original lus-
ter when they are worn by beauti-
full women and come in contact
with the warm skin of the wearer.
When a pearl necklace is re-
moved from the neck, where it has
been exposed to high temperature,
and is placed in cold marble tab
let, which is about onc-half of
such high temperature, it may be
Justly inferred that the scales of
the pearls will contract and lose
some of their brilliancy. When
pearl necklaces are habitually
placed on velvet cushions after
having been worn, this circum-
stance may also well contribute to
he dctriment of the beauty of a
pearl, while the chemical compost
ton Of the color may be an addi-
tional factor in this direction, not
to overlook the effects of a strong
light.
The management of the Louvre
museum has held this necklace OF
M. Theirs in high esteem, and II
has probably noticed the gradual de-
! terioration with serious concern.
