Declined to Sing Dixie.

DETROIT, Mich, June 26.-While
practicing for the Grand Army of
the Republic celebration, Saturday
night, the big chorus OF the Detroit
Choral society, numbering $50 of
the best singers in the city refused
to sing Rebel songs. 1t started
with "Hail Columbia" and "Star
Spangled Banner" and then the
libretto required "Dixie" and
"Bonnie Blue Flag" When the
music struck "Dixie" only a few
voices responded and when "Bon-
ME Blue Flag" was reached there
was a dead silence. The instructor
looked surprised until one of the
male singers explained angrily
that the chorus refused to sing
Rebel songs, and regarded it as an
imposition to ask them. The rest
of the chorus backed him and 1t
took lengthy effort at persuasion
on Instructor Depew's part before
they would consent to sing South
ern songs,

lin loving memory OF Ethel May Rec
side, who entered into rest Monday,
June "a, 1895.
Dear little Ethel has gone home; her
light has gone out; she has passed over
the river, and is at home. Do not grieve
for her, dear ones; she has passed to a
better world than this, where pain and
sorrow are unknown. A life, young and
pure, has just closed here on earth, to
open In the beauties of eternal life in
heaven. One fair flower We miss here on
earth, and one more angel is found in
heaven. One less sweet face we see, and
one more beautiful, radiant face, fresh
with the Joys of the angels. beckons us
up to the light of love above. She went in
all the purity of a young, sweet life, to
join her Savior, and is resting In JOY
eternal. :,
"Thy will, o Lord, not mine, be done"
You have gone from our sight,
And we murmur, how hard"
But Gods will be done,
And we bend meath the rod.
Our young hearts, o God,
Are torn in our breasts,
And we come to thee, Father,
For comfort and rest.
Dear Ethel, we hope such
Life we may live,
That life eternal our Saviour
Will give;
And then, up In heaven,
Some bright, bright day,
You, dear, in your glory, our tears
VIII wipe away.

DIAMOND DOTS.
Houston l, San Antonio 0.
Eighteen innings without run.
The boys are in the game again.
Matthews scored the run on Lem
mons error.
Lennon was the only man who
erred, and it was costly.
Hughes Is catching all the same
Charlie Bennett.
Brownie" Chamberlain pitches
this afternoon. Must win today.
The second series is now on and
the Missionaries seem to be in 1t.
1t was danny" Dolan on the
slab yesterday. Danny is James
Dandy.
Now, keep up the good work and
old Santone will have reason to
feel proud and will treat you right.
Galveston defeated Austin by z
to 0 and Fort Worth walloped
Shreveport by D to 3.
Second baseman Frank Weikart
wants to come to San Antonio.
Anderson, the ex.Missionary,
has developed into pitcher. He
pitches against the Missionaries
today.
Here's hoping that the Mission
aries will not lose their heads over
yesterdays record breaker, and
will keep up their lick until the
flag falls.
Duffy and Mccarthy Of the Bos-
ton club, wagered Arson, before
they left Chicago, $3.50 each that
Boston would beat Chicago out.
If the grand old man of base ball
keeps on he will not have any
salary for five years should the
Colts suddenly funk and topple
from their present high pedestal.
The bet was made last May, when
Chicago was in second place. Bos-
ton in third. Now Boston is in the
lead. And Chicago is sixth. And
Arson is growing older every day.
While runner was on third,
Hughes cut man off at second,
and Lennon returned the ball,
the man coming home,
thus completing neat double
play. The Houston cranks went
wild with joy, despite the fact that
it killed Houston's hope for run.
Jesse Burkett, Cleveland's left
fielder, has introduced cap with
a peak made of green isinglass,
which is said to be the best thing
for fielder who has to face the
sun. These caps are now for sale
everywhere and the Missionaries
should get couple of them. The
sun cost us one game, and we don't
want to lose any more by old Sol.
