The World Famous

WILLIAMS' COLORED SINGERS.

Everyone a Star.

In presenting this company to the public the management has made special effort to have a high moral as well as musical standard. Therefore, our members have been selected from the

THE GREATEST MUSICAL PHENOMENA.

A chorus of twenty voices in plantation melodies at Corinthian Baptist church Monday night, October 26th, under the auspices of the American Beauty Embroidery Club. As to the manner of their singing, it must be heard before it can be realized. Like the Sweedish melodies of Jenny Lind, it gives a new musical idea. It has been well remarked that in some respect it disarms criticism. Such singing can only be the result of the most careful training. Special numbers aside from the chorus will be rendered by Mrs. Alberta Grubbs and Russell Smith. Mrs. Grubbs possesses a fine voice of splendid quality and great compass which she uses with marked skill and is especially adapted to music of dramatic character. Russell Smith, the sweet tenor, is also the possessor of a splendid voice and sings in admirable style, both in song and concerted music. Mrs. Blanch Robinson, pianist. This gifted artist besides being an excellent accompanist is also a solo player of great promise. She has had the honor of playing before the most critical audience at the world’s fair in Seattle, Wash., and it is predicted by our leading musician^ she will rank with the first pianist of the day. Don’t fail to hear these artists for the small fee of 10 cents.

The Quartet is a special feature and is always a favorite. The prima donna was trained by one of the best instructors of Chicago. She has a lyric voice possessing the flute quality, which is classed by the European masters as bking the rarest and most beautiful. The colored race has produced fe\y

singers as great as she.

The Contralto has beqn a student at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. She possesses a rich and charming voice of great depth and power, which

has won her many admirers.

The soprano is worthy of special

London the entire company was under the instruction of one of the world’s greatest vocal teachers, Miss Ira Aldridge, who is a scholar of the London Royal Conservatory of Music, and whose early teacher was the famous Jennie Lind. This experience added to tural talent and former years of aithful application enhances the ability of each individual singer and has produced in our case a remarkable musical combination. The company is now stronger than ever and we are glad to be again touring Ariieriea—our

mention. Her remarkable talent is j native land.

Constipation, if Neglected, Causes Serious Illness Constipation, if neglected, leads to almost innumerable complications affecting the general health. Many cases of typhoid fever, appendicitis and other severe diseases are traceable to prolonged clogging of the bowels. Rcgardthe effects of constipation, C. E. Ayers, 6 Sabin St., Montpelier, Vt., says: “I was afflicted with constipation and biliousness for years, and at times became so bad I would become unconscious. I have been found^ in that condition many times. Physicians did not seem to be able to do me any good. I would become weak and for days at a time could do no work. Not long ago I got a box of Dr. Miles’ Laxative Tablets, and after using them found I had never tried anything that acted in such a mild and effective manner. I believe I have at last found the remedy that suits my case.” Thousands of people are sufferers from habitual constipation and while possibly realizing something of the danger of this condition, yet neglect too long to employ proper curative measures until serious illness often results. The advice of all physicians is, “keep your bowels clean,” and it’s good advice. Dr. Miles’ Laxative Tablets are sold by all druggists, at 25 cents a box containing 25 doses. If not found satisfactory, your money is returned. 7 MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind.
