MISSION PLAY. The Chicago Defender. MAJESTIC THEATER BURNED. First Theater Ever Owned by Negroes in the State. Special to the Chicago Defender. Charleston, W. Va., May 20.—To prove that Friday is an unlucky day on Friday morning at 12 sharp after Mr. Chas. Huggins and Mrs. Kathryn Berry, two Chicago actors and artists, had finished their bill and washed up and gone home along with the other actors the house caught fire and all their beautiful clothes were burned and ruined with water. This was the only theater in the state owned by a member of the race, Mr. James Hazlewood, who has done lots to relieve the loss of the actors who played in his house. Mrs. Berry is now having new outfits made, and they hope to be in shape for work by June 15th. The theater damage amounted to $3,000, which was covered by insurance. All the actors in Chicago and other cities have sent telegraphic regrets to Mr. Hazlewood. A THEATRICAL WHIST PARTY. Tuesday evening, May 12, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Carter, 3133 Wabush avenue, a whist party was held in honor of Mrs. Pearl Moore, of Detroit, Mich., a sister of Mr. Carter. For regal splendor we must confess that it has never been surpassed and very seldom equalled in this city. The decorations were pink and blue streamers dotted with American Beauty roses. Music by Carter's famous orchestra of 12 pieces, assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Lon Board and the London trio. The reporter of the Defender, though suffering with a severe cold, could not prevent his educated probesis from detecting the odor of good things emanating from the culinary department, and when the charming hostess, Mrs. Carter, threw wide the door leading to the large dining room, and Mr. Carter, assisted by Mr. Arthur Brown, succeeded in chaining Mr. A. Childress to prevent him from demolishing the piano in his rush to the table, your reporter had an opportunity to gaze upon the greatest array of foodstuffs ever before placed upon the festival board, and as Mr. Frazier truthfully said in his "Teddy" speech, you are about to partake of some choice and toothsome viands that not only will satisfy the appetite, but which will meet the approbation of the most fastidious epileurean. Thirty guests were fortunate to be present at this feast, among them being Mr. and Mrs. L. Board, Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Patton, Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Helun, Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Bucker, Mrs. Hallis, Mrs. Lapsley, Mr. and Mrs. Frazier, Mr. and Mrs. A. G. F. Sims, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold, Miss Jackson, Miss Trye, Mr. Jackson, and a host of others. Who so forget themselves that had not the "Comet" fell from the shelf and woke Mr. A. Brown and his coslings to the fact that it was about 3 a.m., we would have been thre yet. We not only congratulate M., and Mrs. Carter upon the success of the affair, but we feel deeply obligated to Mrs. Moore for her masterly demonstration of how to make chicken salad "a la Detroit." LAST SUNDAY AT EBENEZER. The services at Ebenezer Baptist Church were well attended all day. The attendance at Sunday school was 220 and the collection was $7.57. The morning sermon was by Rev. Ward of Decatur, Ill., followed by some interesting remarks by Mrs. Johanna Moore, the well-known champion of the rights of our people. The evening services were conducted by Rev. McWilliams, the State missionary. Mrs. Mayne Alexander, the primary superintendent, has gone to Sedalia and St. Louis, Mo., on a visit. Elder Thomas left Tuesday for Springfield, Ill., to attend the State convention. WAITERS HELP A STRANDED BROTHER. Some weeks ago Mr. C. Howard, who has been a waiter at the Hotel Del Prado for several years, decided to try his luck out West and landed in Los Angeles. But that sickle goddess, "Dame Fortune," refused to smile upon him, and he appeared to his former associates for help. Head Waiter Frank Harvey immediately started a subscription, to which all the waiters contributed. Forty-nine dollars was raised in this way, and Manager H. H. McLean added an extra $7 for a berth. Mr. Howard is now en route to dear old Chicago, "never to leave again," he says. BYRON'S TROUBADOURS AT WALLA WALLA. Specific: the Chicago Defender. Walla, Wash. May 20.—The are here to ride two CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1910 GOLIATH VS. GOLIATH Will Jack Johnson Relinquish or Retain His Title as Champion of the World? FIGHT LIKE H-L. THE SLOGAN It Is Not a Black Man Fighting Against a White Man, But Two Americans Fighting for National Honors. BY JACKSON J. STONALL. By Special Correspondent of Chicago Delender Never before in the history of pugilism has the public been aroused to such a pitch of excitement as it is over the present Johnson-Jeffries struggle. Over the far away hills of California, at Emeryville race track, near San Francisco, the former champion and the present title holder will settle the question of supremacy. Since Johnson attached his signature to articles of agreement binding a match with James J. Jeffries, the question that reverberated from center to circumference of the universes was: Can Jeffries get back in his former condition? Now that the Los Angeles ex-boilermaker is rounding into form, there seems to be no doubt left in the minds of the public as to his ability to regain his former condition. The question now that is an enigma to the patrons of pugilism is: Will Johnson relinquish or retain the title on the afternoon of July 4th? Jack Johnson's rise from a log cabin to champion of the world is without parallel in the history of the game. In the face of opposition, competition and discrimination he cleaved his way right through. He more than half circled the globe in quest of the coveted goal of his ambition. After Tommy Burns' victory over Marvin Hart at Los Angeles, March 23, 1906, he became the acknowledged champion of America. To further his claims he defeated Bill Squires, claimant of the heavyweight championship of Australia. Burns journeyed abroad, defeating English, Irish and French champions, and clinched his title as champion of the world. Johnson began his ceaseless effort to secure a match with Burns after his victory over Hart. He followed Burns from coast to coast, then across the Atlantic, through England, Ireland and France. After nearly two years the chase finally ended in far-away Australia, Johnson agreeing to unreasonable terms, seeing that his long sought for opportunity had come. On December 26, 1908, he fought for the championship title at Sydney, Australia, defeating his opponent in such a decisive manner as to leave no doubt in the minds of the spectators as to his superiority. While pugilism does not compare favorably with the intellectual forces of mankind, yet the same pluck, patience, perseverance and stick-to-iteness characterized by the colored champion is essential to success in all vocations in life. When the golden rays of the setting sun veils her face behind the western horizon on the afternoon of July 4th, and James J. Jeffries and Jack Johnson have measured strength against strength and skill against skill, we do hope as a loyal race, no matter what our views may be in regard to the respective vocations, that the swarthy giant from the Lone Star State will emerge from the contest a victor, with the golden smile as conspicuous as ever. MRS. MONROE L. MANNING Nearly Burned to Death. On last Saturday the weather being cool, Mrs. Monroe L. Manning, 3524 Calumet avenue, decided to have a little fire, but after several futile attempts to get a fire started in the furnace she decided a little coal oil would do the work, but alas, to her sorrow, it worked too well. The noise from the explosion attracted a Defender reporter, who rushed in amid the smoke and saved the lady. She is minus her eyebrows and a few locks of her hair, but otherwise all right. Thanks to her brother, who is some drugist, she was saved from a great deal of suffering and disfigurement. MEMORIAL SERVICES At Mt. Glenwood Decoration Day. The Mt. Glenwood Cemetery Association will run a special train to the cemetery and return on Decoration day to give those who desire to do so an opportunity to strew flowers upon the graves of departed friends and relatives. Train will leave the Rock and station, 31st street and Armour avenue, at 9:30 a. m. sharp. Return- VARDAMAN'S CAIRO LECTURE. Fear That It Will Create a White Hand Negro Assassin Dangerous to Himself. The "Disposal of the Black Race" is not destined to be an easy route by the way of distranchissement. The "Impending Crisis," as ex-Governor Vardaman put it in his lecture at Cairo, Ill., last Tuesday evening, is really "how shall America rid itself of Southern racial peace disturbers." That man had no business whatever to deliver a lecture that would further the cause of racial feeling in a once quiet, peaceable little town of the north, to incite riot and to imperil the lives and welfare of innocent black American citizens. The most respectable and influential people of Cairo should have risen against such a movement and the mayor of the city should have immediately prohibited it, as a notorious smut of disgrace to add to the town's present record. The stigma of the past, which should have been allayed, is still fresh in the minds of public sentiment, and it seems a hard matter to determine how long northern white people will play the part of cowards and swallow the bitter pills of envious gall that southerners force upon them. Vardaman's movement will not only be challenged by the Negro, but by Christians, who should pray for his removal from time to time as a hindering cause to humanity. I have fear that this movement will create a white hand archist among a certain obsolete element of the colored race who would then have nothing to hope for but pride in meeting death even as an assassin. If the souls of black men ever become to be totally the white man's burden, then the black race will have no fear in life, but bravery, and therefore no need of pity. It is such a conclusion, which to-day makes Vardaman's plea dangerous to himself. MM. E. AZALIA HACKLEY IN NEW ROLE. Special to the Chicago Defender. Ph. delphia, May 20.—Mme. Hackley, tl. noted singer, and Mr. G. Grant Williams, of Williams orchestra, will present Miss Mary Flitzugh of Missouri State Blind School, on June 2d for the first time before the public. Although blind, she plays the piano, sings, recites, sews, crochets, typewrites and does many things people who can see refuse to learn. Tickets are at a great demand. It is thought Chicago will be the young woman's next stop. Music Fund hall promises to be packed. ST. MARK'S M. E. CHURCH'S NEW PASTOR. St. Mark's M. E. church and its many friends and well wishers gathered on Wednesday evening at 50th street and Wabash avenue, the home of the church, to do honor to Rev. H. A. Foreman, and welcome him in our midst. The doctor spoke more eloquently, more clearly and more dramatically than we have ever heard him since his arrival in the city. Everyone in the packed house was highly pleased and one could notice on the sea of faces that welcome and joyous smile which meant approval as the divine soared into eloquence of the present and past ages. The program was well arranged and followed in succession like clock work. The visiting pastors of the other city churches were on hand to welcome the new pastor and they did it in great pomp and splendor. The following program was rendered and the names of the ushers and arrangement committees given to show how the rank and file of the members worked to make the welcome rhyme: WHEN YOU NEED MONEY. $25,000 Concern Financed by Colored Men. Does a General Brokerage Business. A lack of financial institutions from which colored people can get accommodations of a financial character has brought to life a new concern promoted and financed by Negroes and by Negro capital. This is something new as far as the colored people of Chicago are concerned. But a number of optimistic men who have faith in the future of the colored of this city have formed a corporation under the laws of the state of Illinois. It is one of the largest undertakings ever tried by colored people in the West and promises to be one of the largest in the country. The stock was all fully subscribed for without any advertising, something unprecedented in the formation of Negro corporations. There are lots of openings for a corporation of this kind. The banks of this city, to which the colored people flock to put their money in, will not lend this same money back to colored people on their property, and if you do find someone who will lend you money they want high rates of interest and then refuse to let you have what the value of the property warrants. But now we have the Northern Assets Realization Company, a company that is prepared to furnish money to finance any legitimate proposition, to furnish money to property holders who have mortgages coming due or payments that they must meet. The company buys the contracts of persons who find themselves unable to carry them through, thus preventing them from losing everything. This organization has passed the formative stage and has worked quietly in the last few months since its organization. This new organization was promoted by Mr. William D. Neighbors, its president. Mr. Neighbors, though about the youngest, is one of the most conservative and successful real estate dealers in the city. His rise has been rapid, due to close application to work and dealing fairly with his clients. He is president of William D. Neighbors & Company, which has its main office at 95 Washington street and a branch office at 3517 State street. He is a member of the Underwriters' Association, the Cook County Real Estate Board, the Colored Commercial-Association, secretary of the Negro Business Men's League, and president of the Illinois Chronicle Company. James T. Copper is the secretary. He has been an employee of the city of Chicago for several years. He is a graduate of the State College of Delaware. The other officers are D. F. Mithom, vice president; Stephen A. Buckner, treasurer. The directors include Joseph E. Snowden, B. F. Mitchem, Stephen A. Buckner, Joseph H. Hudlun, Edward Kimbrough and S. J. Evans. Both directors and officers are men of well known ability in Chicago and leaves no doubt in this last masterly stroke of theirs as to their ability to accomplish things. Chicago will soon have but little reason to complain of the lack of real sound race enterprises. The trend is bent onward and every new concern seems to become stronger and stronger. The unsurious money lender and the enrichment of another people because of a lack of facilities to deal with need not exist longer with such strong financial institutions as we have now. The standing of the promoter and his already splendid success in the business world can leave but small doubt as to the great success that this infant child of finance will attain. We look for great results from this new organization and feel reasonably sure that it will receive the support from Chicago that it merits. No announcement has been made whether shares will be put on the market. As to whether the company will hold to present capitalization is a mere matter of conjecture. DAUGHTER TO SUCCEED MOTHER The woman's clubs of Chicago are to be congratulated upon their promptness in raising funds, purchasing and unveiling the beautiful monument to their lamented friend and co-worker, the late Mrs. Annie M. Peyton. Mention of this noted woman opens the way for a word or two about her only daughter, the charming Miss Loucille Peyton. Although still in school, she has already displayed many of those lovable traits and business ability that made her mother famous. Miss Peyton is a member of several organizations and her inherited right to leadership is manifested in several of them. When Miss Peyton attains her majority the fraternal and other organizations will find in her a worthy successor of her gifted mother. In the timeantique of her reverent CARY B. LEWIS GIVES CHICAGO A BOOST. Well Known Newspaper Man in Town. Mr. Cary B. Lewis, a young newspaper man from Louisville, Ky., has been in the city four weeks, sending special matter to the Indianapolis Freeman, with headquarters at 2030 State street. He has a "nose for news," and has had four years' experience on the Louisville Daily Times and Courier-Journal. During the past three years he has reported for many national meetings held in all parts of the country. Mr. Lewis is known here, having met a number of Chicago's prominent men at various gatherings of a political, religious and business nature. Through Mr. Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, his "stories" have been accepted in white dailies in all parts of the country. He is the nephew of Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan Lewis, 5400 South Park avenue. He is now giving some little attention to the two colored base ball teams and the theatrical profession for the Freeman. He is a "booster" of Negro enterprises, and is preparing an article on the homes and flats owned and controlled by colored people in the "Windy City." He is much pleased with the manner in which colored people read their own papers. MILWAUKEE PYTHIANS HOLD THANKSGIVING SERVICES. Special Wireless to the Chicago Defender. Milwaukee. Wis., May 20.-- The Knights of Pythias of this city held their annual thanksgiving services and parade last Sunday afternoon, May 15th, at St. Mark's A. M. E. Church. The sermon was preached by Rev. Shoen, the pastor. One of the most imposing sights ever seen on the streets of Milwaukee was the uniformed knights and the officers and members of the subordinate lodge, clothed in their regalia, marching in splendid order to the music of their own Pythian Band. The parade was headed by Col. Geo. H. Brown of this city, and the following named officers from the jurisdiction of Illinois: Gen. A. F. Tervalon, Past Brigadier General; Col. Stuart D. Fowler, Assistant Adjutant General; Col. Theodore Powe, Chief of Brigade Staff, and Col. Frank B. Powell, Assistant Judge Advocate. Capt. Jerry Reed and Sergt. Ballinger of Evanston, Sir Knights Jones and Watts of Havana, No. 5, Chicago, and Attorney John R. Auter, Deputy Grand Chancellor, were also with the Illinois delegation. Arriving at the church, which had been beautifully decorated with palms, an interesting program was rendered. The proclamation of the Supreme Chancellor was read by the Keeper of Records and Seal. An instructive address on "Pythianism" was delivered by Attorney Green, showing the progress of the order and the substantial basis upon which it is now working. The sermon by Rev. Shoon was an able and masterly effort, showing careful preparation and deep thought. He took for his text Proverbs xviii. 17, "A friend loveth at all times and a brother is born for adversity." Even the Chicago knights, who are accustomed to hearing good sermons, declared this to be one of the best they had ever heard. Brief addresses were made by Col. Fowler, Gen. Tervalon and others. The Milwaukee knights are especially pleased in having Col. Fowler with them, as it was he who conducted the initiation work when the lodge was instituted over two years ago, under the direction of Maj. R. R. Jackson, acting as Deputy Supreme Chancellor. The lodge is making substantial progress. Its membership comprises young men who are deeply interested in the work. They are enthusiastic and persevering, and feel greatly encouraged over the magnificent showing they made last Sunday. Capt. Charles Redd, who is both Chancellor-Commander of his lodge and captain of his company, has good reason to feel proud of his boys, who love and respect him to such an extent that he has the most perfect control over them. The additional features of the program were a song sweetly rendered by Mrs. Charles Redd and some vocal and instrumental selections by the Weaver boys. At the close of the services the parade was formed and passed through the principal streets. On arriving at the New Auditorium the knights were assembled on the steps and photographed. The Illinois delegation left at 9:30 Sunday evening, highly pleased with the generous hospitality of Ian Knig of the Creation the spler the ord- PRICE The Pride of Chicago and the Sta. of Illinois Will Be Honored for Faithfulness.

Shippers from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic seaboard, representing an annual tonnage valued at more than a billion dollars, met in conference at the Congress Hotel in Chicago, and issued a challenge to the railroads of the country to prove that there exists the necessity for increasing revenues by increasing freight rates—challenged then, to prove it to the interstate commerce commission sitting as a board of arbitration. Having expressed the conviction that the railroads will be unable to maintain their position and justify the horizontal increases in the class rates and in the commodity rates in Eastern territory the mass meeting, which was called by the Illinois Manufacturers' Association, perfected a permanent organization with a guaranteed fund of more than $50,000 to pay for the battle to be waged against what was termed the injustice and greed of the railroads. Here is what the shippers decided to do: Offer the railroads arbitration through the interstate commerce commission upon the question of whether or not they are entitled to increase freight rates in order to increase their revenues. The arbitration must be coupled with the agreement that pending it the present rates shall remain, all increase being held in abeyance. Should conciliatory measures fail the shippers are pledged to take immediate action either before the interstate commerce commission or the federal courts. Should the commission be appealed to, that body will be asked to declare the rates when put into effect to be unreasonable and unjust. Should the courts be appealed to, they will be asked to issue an injunction restraining the railroads from putting the proposed increases in rates into effect until the commission shall have the opportunity to examine and pronounce upon their reasonableness. Organize a permanent body to carry on the fight, if a fight should be necessary. Create a conference committee of fifteen members whose duty it shall be to have charge of the campaign and place the arbitration plan before the railroads. Tax every member of every organization present 50 cents with a view to using a fund to begin and carry on the little, the initial fund being about $50,000. FIGHT FANS FALL IN LAKE. Hippodrome at Saltair Dumps 100 in the Brune A panic, an involuntary bath in Great Salt lake and a ride home in an improvised hospital train marked the initiation as a boxing arena of the Hipodrome at Saltair resort, near Salt Lake City, in which it had been proposed to hold the Jeffries Johnson battle. Three thousand persons went to see the fight, 100 of them went into the waters of the lake with a collapsing stairway, and more than a score of these were carried back to their homes in the city with broken limbs, contusions or mouths and nostrils scaled by the brine of the inland sea. The fight ring was erected on the stage at one end of the saucer bicycle track. The bottom of the saucer had been turned into an auditorium for the spectators. Up one side of the saucer and down on the other were stairs leading to the pler jutting out from Saltair pavilion. The whole hipodrome on piles driven in the lake and is over the water. When "Cyclone" Johnny Thompson had been proclaimed winner of the fight and Pete Sullivan was being coaxed back to consciousness after receiving a right jab to the jaw in the ninth round, the portion of the crowd nearest the stair made a rush for the outer air. One hundred or more persons were massed on the steps, when they sank to the floor of the amphitheater and, an instant later, broke through the floor and dropped with their living burden into the water. MANY KILLED IN, E'PLOSION. Seven Boilers Blow Up Wrecking the sheet and Tin Plate Works. Quick death came tq thirteen men, serious injury to thirty more employees of the plant and damage to the building amounting to many thousands of dollars are the results of the explosion of a battery of seven boilers at the American Sheet and Tin Plate Company plant in Canton, Ohio. The cause of the explosion is at present unknown. The fireman and engineer, who were in the boiler-roca, are dead. No one else about the plant who survived the accident can give an explanation. One workman says that he heard three distinct explosions in quick succession. The force of the concussion was terrific. The big plant is in such a state of ruin as to be practically a total loss. Identification of the men was difficult because many of them were so mutilated that even the most intimate friends of the dead could not recognize the features.

Babies' Hats Pretty assortment of Children's Straw Bonnets and Trimmed Hats at $1OO and up. M. MATHEWS 3247 STATE STREET THE GREAT LAKES ANNUAL SERMON. The most picturesque parade of the season was the Elks' parade last Sunday. They took in more territory on their line of march than any order has done; then, too, they placed their line of march in the Defender, and all along the route the people waited to see them, instead of going to the hall and following them along the streets. The marshal of the day, Attorney William W. Johnson, was certainly on to his job and did the work up brown; he prohibited the men from smoking in line, would not allow them to wave their hands or doff their hats to friends as they passed, and fired four men out of the line for not having the conventional Elks uniform. This was the first time such a thing has ever been done, and we hope next year Mr. Johnson will be given the same position. Discipline is what we all need, and he is the man to mete it out. Mr. I. W. Warden took the honors from the entire lodge with his Prince Albert de train.

MUSICALANDDRAMATIC By Sylvester Russell. The threatening promise of burlesque reinforcements which is to take place next season is made apparent by the announcement that a nationally put a colored burlesque company next season, headed by four clever actors of national reputation. This movement will be after a report first given out under the present signature in the Freeman that Coates and Grundy would be starred in the next season, and was the result of an interview with Mr. Coates that made the pathway possible for another new idea on the same order the company would mean work for colored performers, to be remembered that when Isaham's Octoons were disbanded I was quick to cite out that variety managers had slideracked colored burlesque managers, who would work for colored performers, as vaudeville came quickly to the rescue of all good colored acts. Moreover, the colored musical companies this latest activity on the part of burlesque managers is only an effort toward burlesque reconstruction. It is a challenge to put the burlesque company been the efforts of the set of managers SYLVESTER RUSSELL. Foremost Dramatic Critic. to rob colored actors of their small portion of work as public entertainers in one or more branches. Another feature, only in various villages, is that the distinction of small, almost local agencies, has been misused in the public image. If seems that the Western Association been obliged to take in all the smaller houses and will thereby naturally be able to work on a continuous circuit of time than any of the small booking agents, if this be true, and everything seems to indicate that the Western Trade Association as well as the Association are able that all colored acts now playing on the small time transfer their booking in the Western Trade Association as well as the Association are speedily converting to its use all the smaller houses booked by small agencies. To the more stupid element, as some actors can never see into anything of a business or beneficial order until after the last act, are actors who, after they have read this article, will not have brains enough to investigate it in order to find out what manner of profitable changes for their own financial benefit is being carried on. The attractions of the week opened suspiciously at all three of the State street houses. Among the acts at the Pekin Theater were Downs and Brown, who were the most popular pleasure. Of course, their opening selection from II Trovatore was not well chosen, as Miss Brown is a mezzo soprano, and Miss Gomez is a tenor with an excellent vocal organ. Miss Brown is an artist of culture, more adapted to the concert stage, and her upper notes are light, but her execution was of high quality. Miss Gomez, late of Bert A. Williams' "Ludo of Kent" company, also appeared in a budget of songs which won favor. Miss Gomez is a young soprano whose promo video was released in 2001, since she appeared here last winter with the show. The "Harbor of Lost Dreams" was her best number, which she performed for the first instead of last, because of being the song which established her reputation. The Grand Theater put, on a piece called "breaking into Society," which drew a large audience and performed performance to see what it was all about. The Monogram again put up another piece called "Moss and Frey, Kohle and Davis, Bessie La Belle and the Mitchell Sisters. Harry Reed, of "Dogs, Reed and Dees," returned to the city attired in the finest suit of spring-a-ling clothes thus far seen on State street. Charles F. Gardner is now stage manager of the Bush Temple, Comedy and Columbia theaters. Don't forget that the tenth annual ball of the Eighth Infantry, I. N. C., takes place on May 22, 1910, at the Armory, 47th and Wentworth avenue, next Monday evening, May 22, 1910. Miss Lottie Grady has returned to Chicago, the Dudley company having closed. Miss Helen Goodman, who has been quite ill, jits returned from the hospital to her home. Harry Goodman, who has been ill, is now much improved in health and is looking the Samson Girls for the summer. Madan Fairfax is preparing to make a tour of the East. The critie was her first tour of the city, and she made him an offer to return to the stage long enough to appear with her in vaudeville, for a special engagements in concert or concert. The critie has reserved his bid. Arthur France, a hoop controller and juggler, has arrived in the city. He expects to soon develop a large new act for the big time. Mrs. Rob A. Kelley was removed from the hospital to the home of her brother on the north side of the city, where her convulsence is ultimately expected. King and Lailie have returned from a tour of Wisconsin and Alabama, where they fairly created a sensation. Acting Manager Baker is here, too, as busy as a bee in the absence of George L. Archer, owner of the Chocolate Drops. John Miller, a quartet tenor singer of minstrel fame, is soon to leave the city for the summer. It is rumored that Walker and Brown have a good contralto singer, has been engaged for a big vaudeville act, now in rehearsal. Much disappointment is expressed that "Deas, Reid and Deas" and Davis and Wroth, now on the Wroth prize colored acts by the new security for the Poken. In view of the new theater now being created, it is evident that manager Motts will have to pay more for a good colored act as he does for a white one. * * * * Elwood C. Knox, manager of the Freeport remained two days. The arrival of Mr. Knox at this particular time was most significant. It will be remembered that the new theater is based almost entirely through the membership of R. W. Thompson and Sylvester Russell, the writer. With R. W. Thompson and Conservator and Russell writing stage news for the Defender, this newspaper, it is safe to say that the Freemann news is now pretty well filled up in Chicago. You may say we are secured in Chicago, but we say we a salary necessary is asked us. And like a star of the morning, which is always bright at dawn, I shall endeavor to show all publishers who have ignored me in the past. In Indianaapolis, that I am the Russell of New York and Chicago, and hence with newspapers of those two cities only, I am a great fan of the field, and where I go actors, managers and all other lovers of what is true in literature will follow. Personally, I have a great love of the movie like him, but as they have seen fit to unreasonably ignore me, and to the dissatisfaction of the public, I now take on the role head," much to the enjoyment of the public and myself. I will be the "big fellow." IN THE BAILROAD CENTER. IN THE BAILROAD CENTER. BY JOHN R. WINSTON.

Alex Motley, Star Fielder of Grace, Knocked Out by Pitched Ball. Game Marked by Loose Fielding. Grace Presbyterian team defeated Hope Presbyterian of Englewood in an exciting game at Oakden Park last Saturday when long drawn affair, in which both pitchers did well. In the fourth inning, with two out and two men on base, Motley came to the plate and pitched a no-hitter. Parker was a fast inshoot hit by Motley in the head with such force that the print of the ball was visible. He fell to the ground and was taken to his home, 1345 West 65th street, about four blocks north of the park. At first it was thought that his teammates had not attempted this was not true. The accident ended his teammates, as well as Parker, for he weakened thereafter. The opposing boys played a better game on the field than their opponents; they displayed more aggressiveness and were always fighting. This team looks Grace won mainly through the excellent pitching of "Herliub" Lewis, who is just recovering from a spell of sickness. Grace played a poor game on the field; they threw balls. Their chief trouble at present is they under-estimate their own ability. Each player must have more confidence in themselves and fellow player if they expect to win. Hone. T. Hill, I. J. Hill, I. P.

Every time a certain member of Grace would chase a fly ball "Dusty" Parker he runs just like me." The one he was spiking of runs as graceful as an elephant. "Doe" Cook proved to be a star at the time. He was a snap throw to first which is beautiful. Although he made one error Hardy played a nice game for Hope at second. After Baker made his great throw from the foul line the guns and players called him "Sied Arm." The name fits him well. "Dusty" Parker's closest friends are members of the team. The fans were surprised to see him in a Haze. He said the reason he was not playing with that team was a case of too much peevish. In the seventh inning when Hope almost won "Herbite" Lewis got real peevish. Motley was knocked out a certain one of his teammates said to "Dusty": "Don't you hit me, Dusty; I have a wife and child at home." A proved to be the hitting kid; a proved to be the single out of four times at bat. Mr. H. A. Isanes, of Solteros Club, has offered first player on Grace team who makes a fine run a commutation ticket worth $1.25. I love my baseball, but, oh! you fudge box; just remind the fair rooster of the box of fudge she is expected to bring. Grace plays Bethany to-day at Washington Park. TO RENT. SOUTH SIDE BARGAINS.

Mrs. Dora Conway and Mrs. Jennie Maddux, 3000 State street, went to the top of their building all prepared to leave with the comet. They had a basket of cake and sandwiches, a prayer book and Bible. Through the assistance of the police and a reporter for the Defender they were induced to come down, but they sat up the rest of the night. Mrs. Henry Jones, 6641 Evans avenue, bought 40 cents worth of comet pills to take, which would prevent her from inhaling the comet gases. Not being sure that it would work she went about the neighborhood bidding her friends good-by. Mr. J. Trott locked himself up in the Keystone Hotel's safe, with telephone connection with the outside world. If it isn't dangerous a boy won't attempt it. PLAY BALL. As it was never played.
