Mrs. Emma Hackley, 3604 State Street, seems to be going through the world with little cares as to how old he is or will be. On Wednesday evening she celebrated her (eith) birthday, or we should say her friends celebrated it for her, for she had so much lodge on her mind she did not remember that there was ever such a thing as a birthday. When she returned from her lodge, she found the house full of her friends, with piano going and the merry ones having a large time. Mrs. America Hackley and Mrs. M. Washington confiscated a couple of ladies' husbands and were two-stepping, and getting over fancy steps when a reporter dropped in to see what was going on. They immediately stopped, took their seats and are wondering whether the reporter saw them. After quite a delicious repast the company dispersed, and Mrs. Hackley is much more pleased to-day than she was before she found out her birthday, for she received many pretty d costly presents. She is asking the so got it up, and severalerry widows, eight inre present), told her toWho column. .EE ODD FELLOWS .RCHED. icago Defender.

TWENTY-FIFTH INFANTRY Partly Exonerated, Fourteen Members Granted Full Pay, Some Discharged. Truth Crushed to Earth Will Rise. Special to the Chicago Defender. Washington, D. C., May 13. On May 9 a new situation has developed as to the fourteen enlisted men of the Twenty-fifth United States Infantry who were summarily discharged with the other members of the Negro regiments in 1906 in connection with the shooting up of the town of Brownsville, Texas. By the findings of the military board of inquiry these fourteen men were declared eligible for re-enlistment, their status being defined as the same as if they had never been discharged. Under this finding each of the fourteen soldiers is entitled under the law to back pay and emoluments amounting to approximately $1,000. No reason for refusing the application for re-enlistment, so far as known, exists as to these soldiers, inasmuch as the finding of the board of inquiry in effect held them guilless. About six of the soldiers already have made application for re-enlistment and the others may avail themselves of an old law which permits them to purchase their discharge at a profit to themselves of 'about $900 each. The fourteen exonerated soldiers, when questioned as to what they would do, said: "We are going to contribute $500 each of our money to assist our brothers-at-irms, and should we be successful we will put our moneys together and share allike, then go into the army and finish our time and retire with the honor that is due us."

Mrs. Fannie Mitchem, 3433 State street, who invented her own stove some time ago, has installed it in her restaurant on exhibition on Wednesday, and numbers of people have been in to see it. Friday a party of wealthy gentlemen from Milwaukee were down to see the stove and declared it was a marvel of the age. Thursday night she cooked biscuits and boiled cabbage in the stove; in another part she placed a plate of sliced tomatoes and cracked ice, and while all this was going on above and below, she took the tomatoes out after a half hour and it was just as cold as when she placed it in the stove. The Pullman people are after it, but she says she will not sell. She says: "I invented it because I got tired bending my back over the white folks' stove." ELKS' ANNUAL SERMON.

Flushing, New York, May 13.—The following cablegram was sent by Bishop W. B. Derrick to Buckingham Palace, London, England, expressing sympathy in the death of King Edward, May 7, 1910: "Buckingham Palace London: The African Methodist Episcopal Church begs to assure the royal household of its deep sympathy in this hour of affliction. William Benjamin Derrick, Bishop." One of the things prized most highly by the bishop is a personal letter from King Edward acknowledging the most excellent eulogy delivered by him on the life and character of his lamented mother, Queen Victoria. It is beautifully framed and hangs in the library at his home, the Court, in Flushing, L. I. Learning of the death of the King, on the flag staff which adorns the lawn both the American and English flags were placed at half mast, symbolizing the relation existing between both nations, England the mother and America the daughter.

OUR SOLDIER BOYS Will Receive Gold Medals for 15 Years' Service and Decorations for Skill in Rifle Practice. The Eighth Regiment, Illinois National Guard, will give their tenth annual military ball at 7th Regiment Armory, 34th street and Wentworth avenue, Monday evening, May 23, 1910. The features of this annual event among our soldier boys is the awarding and presentation of gold medals to all officers and men who have served continuously in the regiment for fifteen years. All who have proven their ability to shoot accurately at distances from 200 to 1,000 yards, and making the required percentage at skirmish fire, will be presented with decorations including sharpshooters' medals. Quite a number of the officers and men have qualified and will be decorated in the presence of the public with medals of honor, won by service and proficiency in rifle practice. The full 8th Regiment band will be present to furnish music for the dance, which is the crowning feature of the evening's entertainment. The grand march will take place at 10 o'clock sharp, the regiment being in line in full dress uniform to participate in the same. Tickets will be sold at the popular price, 50 cents, and the usual large crowd is expected. You are invited. $30.00 HAT FOR ONE CENT.

RIDES WITH MRS. GOULD. White Natives Yell at Idea of White Lady Riding with Negro. Special to the Chicago Defender. Lynchburg, Va., May 13.—Quite a commotion was caused this week over the fact the Hon. Booker T. Washington, having the nerve to ride around Mrs. Gould's estate, the Blue Gap Farm, in the same carriage. Many of the natives think this a bad example for "niggers" to see, and many are threatening the colored citizens if they think of social equality. Excitement ran high, but at present nothing serious is expected, as the colored citizens are not responsible for acts of non-residents. It is thought Mrs. Gould will give her estate and $5,000,000 for a training school for education of the blacks, but open to the poor whites if they would care to attend. ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE. The quiet and unassuming manner in which Enterprise Institute has done its work has not hindered its progress, for that has been almost phenomenal. Our citizens are coming to a fuller realization of its merits and into deeper sympathy with its efforts. This school not only gives the most thorough training in its various departments, but it does it for one-half the amount charged by other similar institutions, and also makes helpful concessions to widows, orphans and all persons who are hindered by poverty, misfortune and burdensome environment. Dr. McDaniel is justly proud of his corps of teachers, and says that while it is true that the school must have money to meet its expenses, he is more concerned about the unselfish ambition, i.e., the desire, determination, patience and industry of the would-be student that he is about the amount of money he or she has. This is all any one could ask, for it means that the Enterprise Institute will find some way to help those who are trying to help themselves get ready for the battles of life. A trade is almost indispensable in this day, and it is the duty of all parents to see to it that every child is given a trade and that as early as possible. Successful Students. It is decidedly encouraging to know that those who have finished courses in Enterprise Institute are giving the utmost satisfaction in some of the most prominent and fashionable families in Chicago. Volume of Work Done. This is not shown by the mere giving out of twenty-one diplomas, for most of the graduates completed five courses. The record shows that 18 graduated in manicuring, 14 in scalp treatment, 10 in hairdressing, 10 in hair work (manufacturing), 8 in facial massage and 1 optometry. This is equivalent to 60 graduates in a single course. Besides these there are more than a hundred undergraduates in the 10 or 12 departments. Work Expanding The Board of Directors are preparing to open several new departments, and such ones, too, we are told, as will greatly increase the opportunities for boys and men. Indeed, it seems to be the aim of this school to turn none away, no matter what they desire to learn. If any particular trade is desired by even a few persons, the necessary provisions will be made. The Defender wishes unlimited success to this very worthy institution. THE VOLUNTEER WORKERS ARE ENTERTAINED.

Mr. Jenes Couts and Wife Come to Meet Their Doom—Chicago Defender Reporter First Little did Mr. and Mrs. Jenes Couts think they were coming to meet Death when they left their home in Springfield, Tenn. They were on a visit to see Mr. Garrett, a brother of Mrs. Couts, but died before seeing him. Being unaccustomed to city ways they were asphyxiated by gas at their stopping place, 2908 Dearborn street. Mr. and Mrs. Couts had planned a plea at trip North, having already spent some time in Evansville, Ind., with relatives. Mr. Arthur S. Garrett was away upon their arrival and was overcome with grief when the news of their asphyxiation was broken to him. A reporter of the Defender was the first paper to learn of the sad ending. Mr. Henry (white), undertaker from Springfield, Tenn., came to take charge of the remains, which Undertaker Emmanuel Jackson has at his establishment. This shows the Southern white man is awakening to commercialism. Color cuts no figure with them now; it's the money. ADVISES NEGROES TO MARRY WHITES Clarence S.

HAILED BY NATION Bands Play "God Save the King" and People Wildly Shout the Refrain. With the time-honored ceremony of a brilliant and impressive character, George V. Monday morning was publicly proclaimed King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the British Dominions Beyond the Seas, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India. Sharply at the stroke of 9 four heralds, arrayed in medieval uniforms of scarlet, heavily braided with gold, mounted the balcony of friary court at St. James' Palace, where Queen Victoria presented herself to the people upon the opening of her memorable reign, and blew a fanfare through their long silver trumpets. The palace by this time was surrounded by a great mass of people, many of whom could secure only the briefest glimpse of the proceedings. The balconies and roofs of the ancient palace, which had been draped with red cloth, were reserved for the notables, all of whom were in the deepest mourning. Members of the royal household, the ministers and their wives and high officers of state, all in brilliant uniforms, were gathered around the court. The heralds having concluded their duties, the officers of arms, chief of whom is the Duke of Norfolk, the hereditary earl marshal and chief butler of England, took their places on the balcony forming the great heraldic company. Nope wore mourning, this having been removed for the occasion. Sir Alfred Scott Scott-Gatty, garter principal king of arms, with the Duke of Norfolk and two officers bearing the staves of office, stepped to the front of the balcony, and in a voice which could be heard across the court and in the streets adjoining, read the proclamation, while great throngs stood uncovered in a drizzling rain. The Duke and Sir Alfred then called for three cheers for the King, and the people responded with fairly deafening hurrahs, which were silenced only by the reappearance of the heralds, who sounded another fanfare. The last note hardly had died away when the band of the Coldstream Guards, which had taken up a position in the square, struck up "God Save the King." As the national anthem was concluded the first gun of the battery in St. James' Park belched forth a royal salute, and the people in the square and streets at the same moment took up the refrain. "God Save the King." RIVER STEAMER GOES DOWN. Thirteen Persons Dead in Wreck of Saltillo Below St. Louis. Thirteen persons were drowned in the Mississippi River when the packet City of Saltillo struck a rock and founded in reach of shore at Glen Park, twenty-four miles south of St. Louis, in the night. With the sound of rending timbers and the shrieks of women and children, the cries of the crew and the bellowing of the cattle, the vessel sank almost in reach of land, at a point where the water was twenty feet deep. Passengers and members of the crew clung to the timbers, while those more fortunate lent their aid immediately to the rescue of the helpless. The majority of the passengers were in the cabins and the collision came so suddenly that they were plunged into the water before they knew what had happened. The City of Saltillo is owned by the St. Louis and Tennessee River Packet Company. The boat was built at Jeffersonville, Ind., in 1892, and is 200 feet long and 37 feet wide, and drew 6.6 feet. The vessel was bound for Waterloo, Ala., in the Tennessee River, with stops scheduled at the leading river cities. STANDING OF THE CLUBS. Progress of the Pennant Race in Base Ball Leagues.

Farmers in Wisconsin and Michigan Battle Blazes to Save Their Homes A wireless message from Grand Marais, Minn., received at Duluth, said that forest fires were bearing down on the village and that it seemed doomed. The operator said it was his last message, as the fire was getting so close that he would have to abandon his tower and seek safety. Grand Marais is on the north shore of Lake Superior and is an old trading post. So far as is known, no lives have been lost. Wild animals are being driven to the lake shore by the fires. Reports received indicate that the entire northeastern part of Minnesota is smoldering, that hundreds of men are out fighting the fires, and that many villages are threatened with destruction. A desperate battle is being waged by farmers and miners against forest fires in four different districts within a fifty mile radius of Houghton, Mich. They are trying to save a number of small settlements from destruction by the fast spreading flames. The woods are dry and a brisk wind is carrying the fire from tree to tree with alarming rapidity. A change in the direction of the wind saved the town of Alston, which had been threatened. At L'Anse village several hundred residents quit labor and business and by means of trenches and back fires worked to arrest the progress of the fire toward the town. The Baraga County infirmatory, a few miles from L'Anse, was threatened by the fire, and only valiant fire fighting saved the place from destruction. The inmates were taken to private residences. Fires are raging in Ontonagon and Keweenaw Counties, and also near Allouez, Ahmeck, and Gay. The loss of ties, poles, and other cut timber is great, while much standing timber is fire swept. Fires are reported between Laurium and Torch Lake. The entire country to the west of Washburn, Wis., is being swept by forest fires and damage running up into thousands of dollars is reported from the stricken district. The great blueberry fields west of that city have been destroyed. Hundreds of miles of country is fire swept. The smoke is so thick that the view of the sun has been shut out for days. Forest fires have leveled the south half of the town of Mosinee, Marathon County. Just before wire communication was cut off word came that a number of buildings had been destroyed, including ten residences, four stores, two saloons, post-office and a sawmill. CHINESE SLAVES ARE FREED. Compromise Measure Ultimately Will Liberate Millions. The Chinese government by imperial rescript has abolished slavery throughout the empire and has prohibited henceforth the purchase and sale of human beings under any pretext. The reform, however, is not altogether complete, as by the rescript certain forms of slavery will still be tolerated. In a report made to the State Department in Washington it is said that the retainers of the Manchu princes are not emancipated, but it is forbidden to call them slaves. They have long enjoyed educational and other privileges, although still bound to their hereditary masters. The household slaves of the Manchus are also refused emancipation, but their status under the law is improved. They are to be regarded as hired servants, but their services are due for an unlimited term of years, so that they are in reality perpetual slaves. Under this rescript the practice of selling children in China in times of famine is abolished, although they may be bound for a specific term; but never beyond the age of 25 years. Concubinage is still to be permitted, but there is to be no bargain and sale. Such concubines are to be married with proper legal formalities, and they will enjoy the protection of the law, but in reality they will be no better than perpetual slaves to the principal wife. The rescript is said to be a compromise measure, but it will eventually give freedom to millions of human beings, and is declared to mark a distance advance in civilization. Dick Case to Be Appealed. An appeal of the suit to keep Senator Charles Dick's name off the primary elections ballot May 17, lodged in the Ohio Supreme Court. The Circuit Court sustained the decision of Judge Babcock that Dick's name must be presented to the people for nomination to the United States Senate. Hundreds of ministerial delegates from Michigan, New York and Ohio arrived in Bellefontaine, Ohio, the other day, to attend the Country Life Institute, called by the Presbyterian Church to devise some means of increasing church attendance in rural communities.

KENTON. Miss Kenton is the successful and much respected principal of the beauty culture department of the Enterprise Institute, based in New York. All that we can learn many of our women have been greatly helped as a result of the training received in this school. In fact it is so shallow reasoning that sees only women in beauty culture. I has the aim of both men and women in all ages to appear at the best advantage both in form and dress, but appearance is of no importance to women. Kenton's training—it is health and comfort. What a magic trio—beauty, health and comfort. Any woman thoroughly trained in beauty is not only sure of an honorable livelihood, but she is a blessing in any community. Watchmaking Department. We were especially interested in this department. The instructor, Mr. North, does every kind of work in engraving, watchmaking, repairing and general jewelry. He has five students enrolled and from the importance of the business and the skill of the instructor, we should he glad to see fifty young men and women enter this department. China Painting. No other guarantee is necessary for those who know Mrs. Margrett Amielson than that she is in charge of this department. This kind of work offers splendid inducements to persons of artistic bent—it pays well, it is recursive and by it one who might be able to buy a fine collection of art. The only drawback is that han is at home, by using her spare hours.

The party was composed of Mrs. Anna Barnes, Misses Grace, May and Bessie Clark, Mr. Jewel and Mrs. Edna Good-Crump, the reader. A Negro Corporation With $1,000,000 Capital Stock. After a lengthy interview with their representative, Mr. Turner Wall, the Defender feels justified in saying that they have the best proposition for the betterment of the race and for a profitable investment that has even been offered to the race. We find that they are going to open DEPARTMENT STORES in Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City, and by so doing they will add to the great number of men and women and our boys and girls who come out of the many institutions fitted for high class positions that they now employ. As they are arranging to run their own mills and factories, so they can manufacture their own goods, which will give employment to thousands of our people. This company looks to be just what we have long needed, and if they will only do what they say they will do, it will be the means of millions of dollars finding their way into the hands of the company and to its stockholders. We find, after seeing the statement of the treasurer, that the company has paid-up capital stock to the amount of $400,$90.50, and their entire assets amount to over $800,000. They hope to be ready in six months to open their department store in Chicago. CLASSIFIED COLUMN WANTED. Fifty colored men to work with Wild Wolfers to report sightings. Report quick.

McCLURE'S Chicago CHICAGO, ILL. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC By Sylvester Russell. Pankey and Cook at the Pekin—Cantata at Olivet, Etc. Quinn Chapel, with its beautiful arcade and open-air galleries, are are sound underground with plush skylights, a heaven on earth for at least an hour or so on Thursday evening, May 5, when the "Imbrian Gee Club" gave its initial gathering of Chicago's best society people. The concert commenced precisely at 8:30, which marked a new precedent for the city's music scene, and the grand provided for the occasion opened with the Battle Hymn from Wagner's Hienzi, which was rendered with adroit precision. The concert was next and although slightly affected by a cold "Nempe Conti," her best selected number, was rendered with the same beauty of mezzo tonal sweetness which has been used in her riffs, which this number admits, and which she did not take full advantage of, once more convinced us of the excellent music that has acquired by a good source of training, and I cannot understand why this fact was overlooked in her recent New York's appearance and it may be that the concert was the first of portions of an undesirable auditorium, "Dried Apple Pie" and "My Ominest One." A. R. Foremost Dramatic Critic. That the present week, like the past, has been unusual, was indicated at the Pekin Theater last Monday evening, when headliners included the popular favorites, formerly of Cole and Johnson's "Red Moon" company, opened as headliners of a furniture show with a prominent furniture design of boci society domestic lovers of fine arts and music. Not only did the name of Pankey and Owlsong bring up the question of befitting Mr. Pankey, rendered the famous "Montaray" of his original creation, with a pleasing light tenor voice, but also brought up the distance from Arkansas to Mexico, and the resemblance of this handsome suburban haired Southern actor left us no doubt that Mr. Pankey, hardly two weeks out of a bed of sickness, was a most unexpected surprise, for her first number was given with such success that she had been ill, could have less to dwell upon the great ability of this lady, whom I have so often reviewed by Mr. Pankey, and the duet enlisted by Mr. Pankey from a balcony window and the finale brought forth such a resounded response that I could be pelled to wait upon three certain caals and a repetition of the last closing number. Mr. Tull E. Brown, a colored pianist, and Mr. Pankey, a musicalian, won a heavy round cores after each number.

The Grand Theater presented the Pekin Musical Trio, since they can paint her lips to touch, and also the Trio, choice singers of jubilee and folklore. A. C. Moss, the phenomenal also, is also on the bill, which has been broken for a new theater, said to be owned by the proprietors of the Grand. There will be an awful hustle on State street when this new theatrical play is completed, and much display advertising in colored newspapers may be advisable. Green Henry Taplay, the well known actor and former private secretary to George W. Walker, left Wednesday for Lawrence, Kan., to visit Mr. Walker. Tapping on his presence and his presence will be of the greatest inspiration to Mr. Walker when he greets him on his arrival. Hert A. Williams, it is understood, will appear in *The Follies of 1910*, a white show. Whether Mr. Williams will be in the audience or whether he will be featured which is only secondary to his importance, remains to be seen. Simmons and Train, in a baseball speciality, is the newest thing in small picture house attractions. * David and Walker divided the week between Jolet and Aurora, III. It is hoped that suitable terms can be made where his team can be seen at the Pekin, Sam Davis Park, and this city, but he is one of the founders of the Colored Vaudeville Actors' Association, which should be specially extended. It has been decided that Alda Overton Walker is to star next season, and it is infiltrated that many members of the former Williams and Walker company will be featured in the series, effected by Robert Cole, not only foremost of the actors of his race, but at present the most valuable and useful percentage in the stage annals of the present WHY YOU SHOULD READ THE CHICAGO DEFENDER. BY JOHN R. WINSTON. The Defender is not a lifeless, inorganic, spineless thing of mere ink and paper, made just to sell, but the living, breathing, pulsating embodiment of all that is nearest the heart and most welcome to the mind of the American Negro. The Defender contains, within its always charming pages, something for every member of the family, and that something is the best of its kind in every case. The Defender's great prestige and purchas A. H. ing power enable it to command the best work of all the most popular and highly paid colored writers and artists, not now and then, but twelve months in the year. All railroad men, keep your eyes open for the Defender. No man ever amounted to anything who did not consider himself, his methods, plans, judgment, accomplishments. You should advertise in the Chicago Defender. It reaches the people who buy. Among the colored newspapers of Chicago you will find that the Defender is the paper for your advertisement. The Defender arouses human interest. IN THE RAILROAD CENTER BY JOHN R. WINSTON. George L. Bonney, superintendent of dining cars for the Gould lines, Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain, has tendered his resignation. Mr. Bonney will engage in farming at Fergus Falls, Minn. On account of heavy business and the demand of the traveling public for a luxurious train, the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad decided to run the Knuckerbocker express here after on Sundays as well as every other day. Advertise in The Chicago Defender and get good results. Mr. J. H. Tarpley, formerly connected with the Boston & Maine R. R. as dining car conductor, is now in the employ of the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. in the same capacity. Mr. J. A. Hickey has resigned his position as dining car conductor on the Northwestern to take a special train to Mexico. Every railroad man should read The Chicago Defender. C. P. Marvin, one time dining car conductor, at other times journalist, advertising man and raconteur, has a new system of reserving seats in dining cars; all his old friends wish him success. Robert Murphy, proprietor of the Hotel Albany, New York City, is planning the erection of a new hotel. The hotel will be run on the pay as you enter plan, the rates being $1.50 a day in advance. On the top of the hotel will be an up to date root garden. Mr. John W. Houghton, train porter in the employ of the I. G. Ry. Co. is engaged to Mrs. Rosa Williams. 613 Lang- of the Pull- lily now; and has a some and means handling an additional heavy car. Lunch can be served with little inconvenience; porters on the cars will serve the lunch without charge and it is believed the new service will prove very popular. Regular charges will be made for observation car seats, but this toll will include the luncheon, so the passenger will have the unique experience of getting something for nothing from the railroad company. The trolley road has recently been completed by New York and Philadelphia capital and is already one of the best equipped interurban lines in the West. REV. T. B. STOVALL LIKES CHICAGO TALENT. Editor Chicago Defender: Dear Sir—This comes to bring you a word regarding Mrs. Sallie M. Jones Downs, who appeared at the Bethel A. M. E. Church here last night. A crowded house greeted Madame Downs, and from start to finish the audience was delighted with the exquisite music brought out of the instrument at the hands of the skillful artist. Mrs. Downs was repeatedly enced by the wave of handkerchiefs in acknowledgment of her ability. The members of the A. M. E. Church here requests Mrs. Downs to return for another recital at the earliest possible opportunity. Very respectfully. 38th and Dearborn Streets. REV. JESSE B. COLLENT B. PASTOR There was a great and glorious service in the Zion church last Sunday. The pastor was at his best, and the large and enthusiastic congregation that sat in rapt attention were heard to say that he never preached to beter advantage. The rally was a great success, and now the church will engage in a ten nights' revival service, and after that time will give a mid-summer bazaar, commencing on June 13 and continuing for one week. The pastor is making great preparations for the annual "Women's Day," which promises to eclipse anything of the kind ever held in that church before. Also, the Children Day committee is working to duly observe that connectional day in the near future. Preaching services every Wednesday night in the week. The Sunday school is taking on new life and everything bids fair to a very successful year's work for this coming year. They are planning for an entertainment on the 2d of next month. Mr. Wm. Burdine is the assistant superintendent, and starts off well in his new field of labor. Several new members have recently identified themselves with the church, among them were Mrs. Davis of Boston, and Mrs. Johnson of Alabama. The classes seem to have taken on new life, as there can be seen in the class services now many who have heretofore been indifferent to that part of the church obligation, the pastor is much delighted with this evidence of their church life and activities, and says this is encouraging, to say the least. "HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE." The writer observed in the streets a few days ago a small circular with the above caption on it, and as it had reference to attendance at the baseball park the writer acted upon the advice to the extent of finding out a few things that he did not heretofore know; among them was the fact that the Leland Giant baseball park is owned and operated in the city of Chicago, as every dollar that's paid goes into the hands of the Leland Giants and not into the hands of some middleman. There is no guarantee that the amount for ground rent shall equal any certain sum. The writer also found that the franchise issued by the Park Owners' Association is issued to the Leland Giants, and not to some other man, as in the case at other parks where our people play. That the Leland Giants can play away from home as often as they may and are not compelled to pay any any percentage of their earnings for the privilege of doing so. That there will be at the Leland Giants park, 69th and Green streets, on Sunday, a real pennant, not a flag-raising. That the Stars of Cuba have been brought here by the Leland Giants and at this writing are controlled by them. That the Leland Giants, ever since its organization in 1907, have given yearly a large sum to the Provident Hospital, a race enterprise. It gives yearly a donation to the Old Folks' Home on Garfield boulevard. That it affords wholesome amusement for the race the year round at 3524-26 State street, and that it also advertises in Negro papers the year round. That it is the best ball team in the city and is deserving of patronage on the part of those who wish to see a genteel, scientific ball game as well as those who believe in paying honor to whom honor is due. PLAY BALL. As it was never played, Is when we go to our new park, Sunday and holiday at our new park, Games with the best talent procureable. Come and visit our park and see here.
