St. Louis Argus

GREAT CONCERT PIANIST AT CENTRAL BAPTIST Helen Eugenia Hagan, Assisted By T. C. Choral Club, To Appear Tuesday, April 6th. Helen Eugenia Hagan, the great concert pianist, will delight St. Louis, Tuesday, April 6, 1915, at Central Baptist Church, corner Ewing and Washington, assisted by the Central Baptist T. C. Choral Club, Troy Gorum, Director. This promises to be one of the rarest treats St. Louis has ever enjoyed. Every man, woman, and child shall hear Miss Hagan. She is young, graceful, cultured, winning, fresh from European study. Coming from America's most cultured center, a product of Yale, a winner of the Simons Sanford Fellowship, and a student in Paris at The Scola Cantorum, at which she distinguished herself, music lovers in America looked for great things from Miss Hagan. True to herself and to the friends who stood sponsor for her career, she has not failed to make good. The discriminating taste of a Birmingham music loving audience was eminently satisfied. She played with an ease and an artistic touch that at once proclaimed her the finished artist, and that would stand her in good stead in the presence of a much more critical audience. According to the announcement made in her advertising circular, Miss Hagan is said to be traveling for one definite purpose—that is to gather material on the Folk Songs of the American Negro. Her rendition of the few transcriptions of such melodies that appeared on her program went directly home to her Southern audience Monday night in a manner that presages a certain triumph in her aim, if she stick steadfastly to it. Friends are urged to come early so as to be seated before the concert begins. Everybody welcome. All music and study clubs are invited to attend in a body. Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley, Manager, Mrs. E. J. Smith, Chairman Entertainment Committee. Mr. Troy Gorum, Choral Director General admission, 25 cents. Imperial Cafe The Imperial Cafe at Sarah and Fairfax, went right on doing a big spring business last Sunday, in spite of the snow-storm. Several out of town visitors have been guests of the popular little cafe during the past week. Among them: Mr. Jackson, of Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Williams, of Pittsburg, en route to the Panama Exposition; stated the Imperial served the best meals and light lunches they had enjoyed since leaving Pittsburgh. The Violet Whist Club entertained at cards and luncheon Wednesday night. The party consisted of 16 persons. Mr. Henderson announces that a high class musical program will be a special feature next Sunday afternoon and night.

The occasion will be a dance exhibition, to be given by Miss Jeannette Mack, instructor in classic dancing, and a number of her people.

Miss Mack stated to an Argus reporter, this week, that the owners of Dreamland are planning to erect a special building for her and her students, in some desirable locality, in this city, by next fall. MISS MACK WITHDRAWS FROM THE CHARITY BALL Statement to the Public: I regret that I will not be able to exhibit at the Charity Ball, April 8, on account of the inability on the part of the Committee and myself coming to an agreement on the hour for my special program and their refusal to allow me to introduce my six ballroom dances.

BIRDIE BEAL, PIONEER LADY EMBALMER A long stride of progress in the proper direction has been made by Birdie Beal, and she is deserving of the cordial encouragement of all the members of her race and sex. Miss Beal is the only colored lady embalmer in the city of St. Louis or state of Missouri, having successfully passed the required examination before the Board of Examiners in November, and is prepared to render first-class service to ladies. Having been well trained and having been authorized by the commonwealth, she must indeed be competent, and those who avail themselves of her services may rest assured that she will faithfully and intelligently perform her duties in a thoroughly womanly manner. Miss Beal wishes to thank her many friends for the service rendered in trying to protect her race and sex. Miss Beal, since completing the course, has opened as lady undertaker at 2126 Lucas Avenue, connected with her father, A. L. Beal, and has had charge of eighteen lady funerals, which was very much satisfaction to the deceased families. Open day and night. Central 5048; Carriages furnished for all occa- MRS. EFFIE S.

FIRST ARREST IN UNITED STATES UNDER NEW DRUG LAW Made by Detectives Cooper and Waller of Chief Allender's Staff To Detectives Cooper and Waller of Chief of Detectives Allender's staff belongs the distinction of making the first arrest in the United States under the new Federal law, known as the Harrison Drug Act, which makes the smoking or manufacturing of opium a felony, punishable by a sentence of not less than five years' imprisonment and a fine of not less than $2,000. On March 10, at No. 5 South 22nd St., detectives Cooper and Waller arrested Harry Graham, alias Wm. Sims, and Pearl Adams, alias Pearl Sims, well known thieves and opium fiends from Birmingham, Ala. In their possession the officers found a large quantity of smoking opium, raw gum opium in macerated form, also a considerable quantity of yenshe. Graham and the Adams woman were bound over by Commissioner Mitchell, March 15, to await the action of the Federal Grand Jury. Detectives Cooper and Waller were highly complimented by Chief Allender and U. S. Special Agent Nutt for their prompt and efficient work.

The ladies in charge are exerting themselves to obtain a large donation for the orphan children and at the same time make every one present happy. Your presence is expected. Admission 35 cents. Mrs. Belle Wilson, Chairman. Miss Minnie Wade, Sec. A GREAT RACE Where does the Negro minister stand on the question of segregation? If they have taken any concerted action against it, they have failed, to let it be known. Race discrimination tends to produce discord, jealousness and bitterness. This country is preserved through righteousness. "Righteousness sex-aletha a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." Prov. 14:34. The most perfect forms of government the world has ever seen are those built upon the word of God. The common laws of England and the constitution of the United States are modeled in their great principles upon it. Today we are living in what may be called the electrical age. Everything is moving at a rapid rate. Men and women are mounting the chariot of progress believing in their destiny to success. Yours for civilizing, educating, Christianizing, and moralizing the world for Christ. Mr. Katie Boswell, Member N. A. A. P. C., 4228 Garfield Avenue. REMOVAL S.

By Madame Lyda Slaughter Wilson Since the scientific cultivation of the hair is no longer a theory but a practical and demonstrated fact, the embarrassment that generally follows the young woman because of curly or kinky hair has been permanently removed and the realization of the fact that the "Glory of the woman is her hair," is easily within the reach of every woman in the land especially those who accept the treatment of acknowledged authorities in scalp treatment. The marvelous effect upon the general disposition of the young woman who has received this relief as a consequence of this treatment can be appreciated best by her immediate relatives and friends who are in a position to observe the change. There is no longer embarrassment, no longer a hesitating disposition toward mingling with social friends and in some rare instances, which have come to my personal observation luxurious growth of the hair has actually improved the health of the customer because of the relief given the mind. Therefore I earnestly recommend to every woman who has stubborn hair to begin at once this improvement. Madame Lyda courteously asks the Argus' representative that he state through the columns of his paper that she has given several years of hard study to scalp diseases and will guarantee the growth of the hair to any one who uses her preparations according to directions. Her "Lyda's Hair Beautifier" is at once, and without dispute the acknowledged leader when it comes to the cure of a diseased scalp, impoverished hair and an unusual accumulation of dandruff on the scalp. Dandruff is nothing more or less than accumulated waste which is made possible on account of nature not furnishing enough oil for the roots of the hair. Lyda's Hair Beautifier removes the cause and as a consequence the effect, which is dandruff, disappears. Madame Lyda manufactures her own oils and wishes to announce to her customers that her picture is on each label that covers her preparations and if some other is used she will not be responsible for the bad results. An excellent working force has been engaged to assist Madame Lyda in the persons of Madame Mamie Banks and Nellie McCall. Agents wanted. Course furnished by mail. New address 3450 Pine St., St. Louis, Mo. William L. Hussey is having his Alabama Kitchen, at 1039 Whittier St, remodeled and decorated: The cuisine has been enlarged and the dining-room is being painted and dressed with a high-grade wallpaper of very artistic design. This is one of the most popular eating places in the city, is thoroughly sanitary and offers a service of pure and wholesome food that is well selected and cooked. Regular meals and lunches are served at any hour, day or night, and a musical program is rendered every evening for the entertainment of the patrons. CARD OF THANKS Madam Bessie Page, owner of Page's Hand Laundry, 105 N. Channing Ave., wishes to thank her many customers for their loyalty in their patronage of her work. And especially All Saints' Church, for whom she does from 25 to 40 robes each week. 'Also the kind expression of so many of her satisfied customers. CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank our many friends for their patronage at our opening Thursday night, March 18, 1915. In spite of the inclement weather the place was filled to capacity. Lawton Buffet, Edward Dix, Prop. L. E. Hawkins, Mgr. ATTENTION TO LODGES Miss Birdie Beal, the only colored lady embalmer in the city, who has just finished the course of embalming to protect the female race, is something the female race should help to protect. I am asking the lodges of the city to come together and help Miss Beal in her struggle. As I have seen the service Miss Beal has rendered I am sure we can rest assured she can perform the duties.

The text suggests the thought of Family Religion, and the opening of the New Year tsa good time to make our resolves in regard-to it. ‘The.im. portance of the family in the redemp- Boa, scheme is seen in this—that of ‘the three fundamental agencies to re- form and save the world, the family ‘comes before either the church oF the state, for without ft neither of them ‘could survive And then, too,. the ‘family is the place where our true character is exhibited and our most Potent influence is exercised. 8. The text suggests at least two things that witt'be true of the home ‘wherein each one secks to walk “with ‘@ perfect heart.” First, it will have a family altar. Even the heathen have ‘their household gods representing the ‘deities they worship, and surely we ‘who know the trie God should have ‘some acknowledgment of him: fp our homes.

The Psalmist saya: “‘I' will walk within my house with a perfect heart.” The busband cannot throw this re- sponsibility upon his wife and relieve himself. of-it, nor vice versa. It is ‘the obligation of parents no less than children, and of children. no less than parents.” But it is very clear‘ that if the resolution is to be carried out on the part of any or all, the strength to do ft must be looked for only from the ‘Lord. We must do what David did even before he gave utterance to his ‘Yow; when he exclaimed, “Ob, when ‘wilt thou come unto me?” It is only as God comes unto us, as he fills us with his Holy Spirit through our faith in Christ, that we can be so instruct ‘ed and sanctified and quickened as to Aischarge this solemn duty.

Wide Oe ‘According to’Professor Beecher the extent of the. period we have’ beds studying during the last quatter ig 483 years, from the death of Joshua B,C. 1434 to the reign of Saul, which began B. OC. 1103, Though other chronologists may. differ slightly, this 4s approximately correct. We may roughly divide this period into the republic of God and the king- dom of man. In thé first section we studied the period of the Judges, Barak, @ideou, Samson and Samuel: one prophetess, Deborah; also. the priest Elf and his’ sons; Samuel and Abiab; and Ruth, who was an ances- tress ‘of qur great high priest. In the second section wo considered Saul the king, and a prince, Jonathan, Saulé son. While the lessons may thus be roughly divided, yet we feel that a general review of the charac- ters and the’ principal lesson’ to_be legrned from each will perhaps be the most profitable form of review. ‘There are four ‘things to be ‘sald about’ each character and his relation to the events occurring in Israel: (1) The people had departed from God; there was disobedience and x rell- gious decline. _(2).-.God. permitted on the part of Israel's enemies oppréssion that finally became unbearable. (3) There was repentance on the part_of the people’ and an: appeal to°God for help. (4) God raised up a judge who “saved” the people and through this judge wonderful acta were performed showing his power and the favor which rested upon Israel. The adult classes can profitably discuss much questions as, “Why did the people #0 eastly forsake God?” “Why and how did thetr repentance so quickly lead to thelr deliverance?” “How did‘God help the people to return unto him?” “What were the methods and the prin- ciples used in God's punishment of the people's sins?” . “Was this form of government in vogue s failure:” Coming to the second section, many questions suggest themselves: “What advantages and opportunities did Saul, the first. king, hava?” “How. did. his failure begin?” “What was the os sential difference between the king- dom of Sani and the Republic of God under the Judges?” “What are the outstanding characteristics of Jous- thaa’s Ife aid character?” “What great message for today do these characters and these two forms of government have?” Doctor Torrey suggests a profitable form of review, vis, a doctrinal review: (1) The teachings of the lessons of the past quarter about Jehovah and the Holy Spirit; (3) The preview, types and manifestations of the Lord Jesus; (3) The teaching about sin and the particular sins mentioned; and (4) ‘The teachings about the word of God. Of course to do all this, or to follow any part of these suggestions will de- mand that much work shall be as- signed in advance and that_gfeat care shall be exercised to make any one of these lines a connected and inter. esting whole. Above all, beware of attempting too much lest the schol ars become confused. ~ If someone can be secured who is moderately succésaful in using: the Blackboard an interesting review can ‘be presented to younger scholars by making a drawing presenting a “hall of tame," with panels for Deborah, Gideon, Ruth, Samuel and Jonathan. Another drawing may, by-comparison, be termed the “rogues’ gallery,” and may have in it panels for Samson, Mii, Es. sons,’ and Saul, Then tell, as simply ‘as possible, the salient points fn the history of each aii show how God approved or disapproved of thelr lives; which were: used, and which set aside.

Dr. Penn laid great stress on the importance of vision as an element of success; that it is the boy or the girl who sees clearly that desires to be somebody; further, the person who desires to be somebody will pay the price. The necessity of a good foundation was also strongly emphasized, and that Jesus Christ is the only sure foundation for any life.

HATCHING SEASON NOW OPEN A The Senter's Hatchery opens the season for the selling of day old chicks. So great was the demand last season for day-old chicks that we were compelled to increase our hatching capacity to 3,000 eggs every twenty-one days. We are now in a position to place on the market 1,000 baby chicks each week. Chicks bought from the Senter's Hatchery can be expected to live, for the eggs come from hens that are range raised, full of life and vigor. An egg incubated from such stock, and with the proper methods of hatching, results in a chick that, with ordinary care and a little expense, is a fowl worth having. Many people who live in large cities seem to be under the impression that they have no room or space to raise even a few chicks, but they are very badly mistaken. To raise any large amount of chicks it would naturally become a farm business and would require more ground than is afforded by a small city back yard. But to raise a very few chicks at a time, especially for table use, and as a means of cutting down meat bills, thus taking a slap at hard times, very little ground is required. A large drygoods box, or a piano box, a cellar or coal shed, will answer the purpose well. Artificial means of exercise may be installed, which will take the place of free range. The feed bill is not to be considered because what you would throw away as garbage would feed a few chicks very nicely, thus you become not only a city poultryman, but an economist as well. There is no poultry food so good as table scraps for growing chicks. The Senter's Hatchery ventures to say, that when people of the great cities quit packing their garbage pails and realize that the table scraps that go into the pail could just as well be fed to a few baby chicks, then, and not until then, will that horrible nightmare of hard times be vanished. Our custom and commercial hatching department can not be excelled, as our incubator cellar is about perfect in the control of temperature, moisture and ventilation. Our incubators are of the very latest pattern, automatic in regulation and free from the use of coal oil fumes. Those having eggs to hatch run no risk in bringing them to us, for the manager has had expert knowledge of the art of incubation for many years, hence the chicks from one of these incubators, located in this almost perfect cellar, at exclusion, the chick is as fluffy and ripe and leaves the shell as free as a well ripened strawberry in June. Our incubators are equipped with the latest style ventilators, the drop bottom, so much spoken of by the United States Department of Agriculture. It has been proven that a chick hatched in a machine of this kind will have a better start for life. So many people are prejudiced to incubator chicks. Many believe they can not be raised without a mother, that they must be taught to eat, but this is all a mistake: they are in every way the equal of those hatched with hens. Why let a hen come off with only one chick and then try to raise this one only, when you can buy a dozen or so chicks, from the Senter's Hatchery? Slip them under her at night. She will not know the difference if you do not tell her. To Every Housekeeper who has ten square feet of ground, he or she can buy one dozen little baby chicks at $1.50 per dozen; feed table scraps from two to three months. Then you have a fry or roaster, weighing from two and one-half to three pounds.

Entered as second-class matter April 6, 1912 at the Post Office at Saint Louis, Missouri, under the act of March 3, 1879. The word citizen has a high, historic meaning. Riding like a king in his chariot, it comes down to us from the Greeks, thro' the Romans, and across the middle ages, resplendent with honor and proud with dignity. In the ancient civilization, the citizen was a member of a haughty, exclusive class. Below him, and subject to him, stood all others in the state who were outside of this class. The middle ages inherited the political forms and customs of Greece and Rome. The Italian republics were based on aristocracy and cemented with the blood of historic houses. The Republic of Holland was built upon great land-holders. The Swiss republics were little groups of cousins united by blood relationship, and around them towered the great monarchies of medieval Europe, with the throne for the sun and the nobility for the stellar system. Now, the American Republic is founded, not on privilege, like the Greek and Roman States, not on lineage, like the republics of Italy in the middle Ages; not on land proprietorship, like the Republic of Holland; not on blood relationship, like Swiss cantons, but upon manhood. The founders, or "forefathers," said: "Just as a man is able to take care of himself physically, mentally, morally and financially, so is he able to take care of himself politically." They said: "We will build an everyday, working State on the basis of the average man." And so an American citizen is thus defined in Article XIV, Section 1, of the Constitution: "All persons" and certainly, all persons must include male and female, white and colored—"all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States, and of the States wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Then again in Article XV, Section 1, the Elective franchise is made the absolute right of the citizen. "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." Thus the American citizen stands---and the Afro-American should also stand---before the world, the peer of any Kaiser or King, Czar or Sultan. He is the heir of the liberty of his fathers; he is the defender of the liberty of his children---not Caesar.was more sovereign than he. The underlying principle of American citizenship is this, that no man or race, of whatever creed or color, shall be subservient to, or politically dependent upon, any other man or race, but that each shall be armed for self-defense. The weapon of this self-defense is the ballot--- "Defense, a weapon firmer set And better than the bayonet; A weapon that comes down as still As snowflakes fall upon the sod; Yet executes a freeman's will As lightning does the will of God." then, the citizen is thus supreme in American responsible. Louis XIV, of France, used to say, What the Grand monarch said in his pride may say in humility—"I am the State." Four of its citizenship, and we are a tenth part of England, the King has the place, but the House the power. In the United States, whoever are in power. Hence the people deserve Since, then, the citizen is thus supreme in America, it follows that he is responsible. Louis XIV, of France, used to say: "I am the State." What the Grand monarch said in his pride, the humblest of us may say in humility—"I am the State." For a State is composed of its citizenship, and we are a tenth part of that citizenship! In England, the King has the place, but the House of Commons has the power. In the United States, whoever is president, the people are in power. Hence the people deserve credit when affairs go right, and merit blame when affairs go wrong. And do not forget that we are a tenth part of the people. In all that we suffer of wrong, of injustice, of discrimination, we are to blame The indifference and pre-occupation of the largest and best part of our citizenship is today the chief menace to our race. Men and women, otherwise good, are too busy worshipping at the shrine of mammon; chasing money, thirsting for pleasure, seeking for fine clothes—too busy doing that, to give thought and time to the duties of citizenship. Meantime, inch by inch, foot by foot, our liberty is slipping away from us. "Eternal vigilence, is the price of liberty;" and we have good authority to "watch as well as pray." The curse of our race is materialism. We kindle only within the circle of material interests—the pursuits of appetite and passion. Outside that circle and on higher subjects, we are as cold as icebergs in Arctic waters. We worship the dirt. Since we are infected with this tendency to grovel, we need to be reminded that the salvation of a race depends upon the moral earnestness of its people. History shows that nations and races are made by heroes—like the patriot fathers who pledged their "lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor" on behalf of truth and progress; like Luther, who set his feet on the rock of principle and said: "Here I must stand—God help me! I can do no more;" like Wendell Phillips, who said: "I found my country half slave and half free—I left it without a fetter." Let us cheer our spirits and nerve our souls with these high ideals and brave examples. Then will liberty and equality become the law of the social order. Then we will no longer have to chant requiems, but will sing hallelujahs! THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS Y. M. C. A. NOTES This week is being observed as health week throughout the country, and in view of that fact a physician has been asked to address the men's meeting next Sunday.

PAUL CHURCH Wilson On Negro Insurance Pursuant to a popular demand from a large number of his policy holders, the Argus correspondent sought an additional interview with the subject of the sketch, Mr. Jno. R. Wilson to ascertain as near as possible the growth of Negro insurance business that is sold by Negro agents. Mr. Wilson spoke very freely and favorably of other Negro insurance agents in St. Louis, Mo., but was very reluctant to refer to his personal achievements in the insurance world. Mr. Wilson finally consented for an interview, the substance of which is as follows: I was appointed letter carrier at Houston, Tex., when 18 years of age and after serving in that capacity for six years I enlisted in the U. S. Army, being honorably discharged June 30, 1901 at Presidio, Cal. I returned to my native home, Houston, Texas, where I enjoyed the greetings of relatives and friends. I was subsequently appointed clerk in the R. M. S., April, 1903, and served in that department until December 8, 1912, when I severed my connection with the United States Government to engage in the insurance business. I want to speak to the people through the Argus, in regards to Negro business enterprises, especially insurance. There is a growing disposition among the masses of the race to assist struggling and deserving Negro business enterprises, to the extent that the Negro business man meets competition. Nine years ago, when I began writing insurance as a "side line" while engaged in the government service, I discovered from my then success the possibilities of the insurance business, some of which I have realized. M. B. J.I.R. WILSON The particular results to which I would invite your attention are these: The entrance of Negro agents in the insurance business has forced better and more courteous treatment to be given colored patrons by their "white" collectors, has stimulated more prompt service in the payment of claims, and finally has placed within the reach of the Negro policy holder a more liberal contract. I have on my books several hundred policy holders and my collections average more than $500.00 per month which is the result of faithful service to an appreciative constituency. The time isn't far distant, when the great white corporations will be forced by Negro unity behind Negro business men to give profitable employment to men of color that they might get their share of Negro business. Mr. Wilson is general agent of Southern Surety Co., of St. Louis, Mo., which is capitalized at $1,750,000. He has his offices in the Douglas Hotel, where he will be pleased to receive the public at any time. Mr. Wilson is ably assisted by Mrs. Amanda McGuire, who aside from her technical knowledge of the insurance business, is a public stenographer, and solicits the patronage of the public.

TESTIMONIALS: Dear Madam: I have a friend by the name of Mrs. Sarah Miller, and have been personally friendly to her for over three years, and during the time she wore a wig. I have been treating her hair for about two months, and now she has taken the wig off, and uses her own hair except a small piece in the back. This treatment is wonderful, I must say. Another lady by the name of Mrs. Emma Tuks, when I first saw the lady I was afraid to touch her hair I thought I would burn the scalp, her hair was so short, and if you had seen her before I began to treat her scalp you would not believe it was the same head; it was the worst one I have met with. I will mention some more next time. Your agent, Mrs. Muriel Hall, Tampa, Fla. Dear Madam: Yes, Nineteen Fourteen, in the month of August, I was visiting my friend, Mrs. Emma B. Wills; she and I were looking over the Voice of the People, a newspaper, and found Major's advertised hair grower, and we both decided to work for the Oxford College. I have tried everything for my hair and nothing did it any good, until I began using Major's Hair Oils, and I feel proud of my hair today, and feel more than able to speak for it anywhere, and any time. I can truly say it is the real thing and does the work. And I will say to all ladies, let us work hard, and use W. L. Major's face creams, hair oils and powder, and look good.

Let the Majors Do The Majors Oxford System are making the little ones cheerful everywhere each day. This system always steps in just in time. A mother was discharged, without a penny, and had no one to help her. Around her there was a number of little ones to be cared for. She at once thought of what she had heart of the Majors Oxford College. Finally she secured a newspaper, with an advertisement of the Majors Oxford College, which cost $246 for West Belle Pl. St. Louis Mo. She wrote for best offer, to grow how hair and beautify the skin. Today no one can discharge her, she is earning from $15.00 to $25.00 per week. It looks impossible, but it is true. I gladly furnish a testimony from the hundreds which I have: Dear Sir, More than delighted with my correspondent course, and only wish that all needy mothers and daughters could only see this opportunity. I gave up my school to devote all my time to -my customers.

NEW GIANTS PARK NEARLY FINISHED FIRST SPRING PRACTICE, APRIL 1 CHAS A. NILLS M. CHAS. A. MILLS, Mgr. Manager Chas. Mills and Capt. Dick, Wallace have issued a call to the youngsters and vets for their first workout April 1. All young men who have made application, for try-out should call on Mgr. Mills at once. As there are so many recruits, Mills is going to split them in two clubs. By doing this each man will be given a fair chance to bid for a position on the St. Louis Club. Charley was all smiles when Capt. GIANTS —Photo by Maxwell. DICK WALLACE, Capt. Wallace and Louis Johnson, a new pitcher, arrived from Palm Beach, Fla., on Friday. Things took a bound around baseball headquarters. Mills has not lost a minute in getting things in shape. The Argus reporter GIANTS -Photo by Maxwell.

[Image of a man with a bald head and a serious expression. The background is a dark, blurred area with no discernible features.] CHESTER SMITH Chief of the Advertising Staff CITY OF NEW YORK ST. LOUIS GIANTS' NEW GRAND STAND Showing the Forty-one Boxes. extending from First Base all away around to the third base line The fans will see one of the most beautiful ball parks in the country. Owner Conrad Kuebler has left nothing undone that will insure comfort to the patrons. The immense grandstand, completely covered, extends from the first base around to the third base line. Forty-one roomy boxes, of 4 seats each line the entire front. The bleachers extend from the third base well out into the field. The Club house is opposite the first base. The big grass-covered field is as level as a table. The entrances have concrete walks and arranged to handle big crowds quickly. The park will be open all day Sunday and it would be a treat for any one to make a trip out Broadway and inspect it. Capt. Wallace refused to give out a list of players until the reporter got Mills' O. K. The following are some of the men lined up: The force that will handle the park consists of the following men: Rickey sellers, Robt. Mims and Clinie E. Smith; box seats, A. ROBERT L. JONES The Retiring Umpire. John Thomas; turnstiles, Benj. Baltimore, Chester Smith and Robt. Parent; ushers, J. Lockridge, James Walker and Sylvestee Mischean. From the above list the public and park will be well cared for in a dignified and courteous manner. The players who will be seen striving for positions number about 35 and Mills will surely have a hard task on his hand to pick the required number of 14 men. Lee Wade, Leon Proctor, Ira K.

Mattjoy, formerly of the Keystones, of St. Paul, will try for R. L. Jones' position as umpire. With this lively bunch to select from, a first class park, and two hustlers like Kuebler and Mills at the helm, there is no reason why St. Louis should not enjoy the biggest season in its history of colored baseball. The opening game Sunday, April 18, Robert L. Jones, the former umpire will officiate in one of the innings as a farewell to his baseball activity. Although the boxes have not been placed on sale, nearly all have been spoken for. At The Keystone Cafe, on Monday night, April 19, Mr. Jones will give a farewell reception to the players and his many baseball friends. This will be a most brilliant affair.

BOOKER WASHINGTON Four good acts contribute to a good bill at the Booker Washington this week. Bowman and Burnette open the show with a classy little act entitled, "Love at First Sight." They sing several good songs and do some dancing. Miss Burnette does exceptionally well singing "One Wonderful Night." The act goes well and is generously applauded. Miss Anna Overton, with a repertoire of three song numbers of the lighter vein, is making a big hit. Her songs are all original and she puts them over in a way that takes the house by storm and is being freely enced. Smith and Edmonds have a unique little skit called "The Street Cleaners" in which they appear dressed as the typical "White Wings." They sing several songs and do nicely. Ora Criswell and Laura Bailey are presenting one of their previous successes "Leading Lady Cook," with the action of the piece slightly changed. They make their usual big hit with the audiences, Miss Criswell staring in her characteristic black face comedy and Miss Bailey in her excellent vocal work. Miss Criswell is featuring "Jacksonville" and Miss Bailey, "The Old Love of Yesterday."
