was that of A. Cameron Steele, the emil
nent basso heard in this city some years
ago with the Schubert quartet, His is

and it was pleasure to listen TO him.
Together their voices produced harmony,
and the close attention accorded them
and the applause which greeted them
after each selection were proofs of their
superior ability as entertainers.
Besides the musical program comedy

cronies," who produced the wit that
"couldna but help max a-body laugh"

Perhaps one of the most conspicuous
features was the dancing by Miss Edna

dancing last evening was one of the
most enjoyable parts to the program.
She won merit with the Highland fling.

NapoIeon's Last Hope Crushed.

One hundred years ago Napoleon,
surrounded by few of his marshals
who still remained faithful, was in bit
ter meditation at Fontainebleau. Ap-
parently he realized for the first time
that detection and opposition were
getting too strong for him. When he
learned that the allies had captured
Paris he gave way to the whole fury of
his Corsican temperament. But his
indomitable spirit was not yet crushed.
Despite the --discouraging outlook he
nourished faint hope that he might
recapture the city and regain his
throne. To gain time to work out his
plans he sent two of his marshals with
an offer to abdicate in favor Of his
son, the young king of Rome. This
offer was rejected without ceremony
by the allied sovereigns, who had al
ready agreed upon the restoration of
the Bourbons.

The new field is located on the line
of the much-talked of North and South
railroad between Albuquerque and
Grand Junction. Its nearest railroad
point at this time is Placerville, on the
Denver and Rio Grande, fifty miles

wholly unexpected.
A new boiler and other machinery
