London. May 1.-The congress Of the
International WOmen's Suffrage Alliance
closed its session to-day. but did not
finish an its business. The questions as
10 a suffrage banner and hymn. and the
next place Of meeting remain undecided
The general feeling OF the alliance Of
fcers is that more business has been ac-
cOmplished than at any former congress.
The reports o. progress in various coun-
tries made TO the congress have given
much satisfaction. especially the report
from Italy. which was read by the
Marchese PeIlicano. the celebrated Italian
aUthOress. A particular point was made
OF the fact that she is the mother OF
seven children
A motto for the alliance was decided
upon by the congress II is: In es-
sentials. unity; in nonessentials, liberty;
in all things, charity"

Flag Day

Flag Day was observed in Ely
Monday by the floating of the stars
and stripes quite generally. Mon
day marked the 132nd anniversary
of the Stars and stripes as the Ma
tional emblem of the United States.
1t was Flag Day in every state in
the Union, as we'll as the Colonial
possessions of the United States.
It was day originally set apart
for school children to show their
patriotism, but its scope has broad
ened in recent years, and the Unit
ed States usually sends instructions
to its army and navy posts, ships
of war, departments and sub-de-
partments to observe the day by
floating the flag from sunrise to
sunset.
The flag was officially adopted
on June IA, 1777; II months after
the adoption of the Declaration of
Independence. At that time it
had Is stars. It now has As. Since
it was adopted it has foated in war
against England, Mexico and Spain

BASE BALL
WintOn White SOx Defeat
Ely Firms Sunday

The game Sunday between the
Ely Finn boys and the Winton
White Sox on the Winton grounds
was won by the Winton team on a
score of to a, the game going
eleven innings before being decided.
Both teams played excellent ball
and the pitchers were most effective
on both sides at critical times.
Hoffman was on the mound for the
Winton team and pitched through
out the game. He did good work
as did also Harri and Seraphine
who pitched for the Ely boys.
Many from this city went out
with the local team and rooted most
vociferous1y. The attendance was
very good considering the unsettled
condition of the weather.
Sunday the Fire Department
team goes to Winton and a good
game is expected. Both teams are
confident of victory.
The game scheduled for last Sun
day on the local grounds between
the Tower and Fire Department
teams did not materialize owing to
wet grounds. The game will be
played later.
The Finn team is arranging for
a game with Biwabik next Sunday.
The boys will probably go down
Saturday and remain over until
Monday. Owing to the bad con-
nections on trains between the two
towns and the consequent loss of
time, the trip may be made Sunday
afternoon and back the next day.
Several good games are promised
for the coming weeks. The VOL
wins, of Duluth, will be here on
July 4 and 5 and other teams are
being arranged with. The Fire De-
partment team will probably go to
Aurora for the Firemen's Tourna-
ment.
