following press notice is taken from the
Wichita, (Texas) Times, under date Of
April 2Sth:
The Alabama Ministries, an aggre-
cation of colored artists, gave an enter.
tainment last night that met with
universal appreciation. The program
is in the nature of a real old time min
strel show, different from the modern
performance of that name, but better
on that account. 1t has the funny end
men, with their tambourine and bones,
and jokes and songs; the operate sing
ers and the monologists. The program
also included a slack wire act by Ed
wards. and smoking act by Watts that
were unique features worthy OF special
mention. High Henry Flint contor-
zionist, was also good; equal, in fact to
any that has ever been here.
Manager Erickson claims for his
troupe that it is the best company of
colored artists engaged in minetrelsy
and the performance given here last
night certainly bears out his claim.

HOLDS CATCHING RECORD.
Agnew Of Browns Went Through Sea
son Without Passed Ball,

Agnew, the st. Louis Browns re-
cruit backstop. is probably the only
catcher in the United States who
caught Il hundred or more games last
year without having passed ball
charged to his record.
Agnew caught for Vernon, Cal, in
the Pacific Coast league last year. He
caught hundred games and he had
no passed balls. In the American
league official records of passed balls
were not published but in the National
league there was not one backstop who
did not have at least one.
The American association. like Bans
circuit, failed to publish Il record of
passed balls, but in the Eastern league
there was one man who escaped the
passed ball charge He is Curtis. who
caught for Montreal, Toronto and Jer-
sey City. Curtis participated in only
thirty eight games.

GETTING READY
FOR COUNTY FAIR
Langdon's CONNER cial Club Urges
Citizens to Get Ready for Big
Crowd Next Week

Monday evenings meeting of the
Langdon commercial club was not al
together confined to the looking after
matters pertaining to next weeks county
fair but gave needed civic matters some
time and much needed discussion.
Among other things it is expected with
the cooperation OF the Great Northern
railroad company to plant trees sur
rounding the city dump ground, an
ornamentation that will greatly relieve
the present appearance of this unsightly
eyesore to the city. The club also has
committee at work to see what ar
rangements can be made with the rail
road company to secure water from the
water tank at the depot for a street
sprinkler. Failing in this a suitable
tank and windmill will be located up
town to supply the water needed. The
street sprnkling question is due to be
given a favorable solution before the
matter is dropped. Jointly the CON-
mercial club, the civic league and the
city authorities are striving to interest
every property owner in Langdon to do
their share in a general cleanup this
week so as to have Langdon looking
its best when the fair visitors are with
US next week. If there is fringe of
weeds and rank growth of grass along
the sidewalk in front of your property
Mr.. Citizen please have enough civic
pride to fix up little bit and do it now.
The automobile traffic to and from the
fair grounds will be governed in the
same way as last year, cars going to the
fair grounds taking the north road east
of the school house and returning by
the road running east of the court
house. This road has been put in the
best of shape for traffic and will do away
with any danger or collision of cars
that would otherwise meet on the road
to the fair grounds. The providing for
the accommodation of fair visitors
has been placed IN the hands OF club
committee who will have headquarters
during the fair week at the office of j. H.
Harlan uptown, There will also be an
Office for this purpose on the fair
grounds

Langdon and Clyde have both steadied
down and have been pulling down the big
lead of the "champs" and the finish now
promises to be one that will give the
most sportlve fan his moneys worth.
Langdon and CLYDE ball teams have
been endeayorlng during the week to ar
range date on which to play off their
tie game in the tournament held at Han
nah July 4th, when Langdon and Clyde
both won games from opposing teams,
but owing 10 rain we're prevented from
playing the final and decisive game.
Each team figure the Hannah trip cost
them something like $50 for expenses
and want chance to play off the tie and
divide the purse. 1t is understood that
a crowd of about thousand people wit
messed the baseball tournament at Han
nah on the Fourth and all the boys ask
is chance before they disband to play
for the money which Hannah offered as
the big attraction for its celebration.
Yesterdays games at Iangdon with
Wales advanced the home team couple
of notches nearer the top of the per
centage column and although the result
was assured from the start, Wales de-
spite It's succession of losses played the
game IN way that left no soft snap for
for Langdon. Munich was over at Clyde
yesterday and the outcome of rip
snorting exhibition of the national game
showed that Clyde was bent on adding
two more ga mes to the dangerous slump
lately expert enced by the Munich lead
ers. In addition to the scheduled games
at Wales on Sunday Langdon has two
postponed games to play with Wales and
one with Munich, in the event Of win
ming which she would also win the pen
nant. AS the teams now stand Munich.
Langdon and Clyde each have an oppor-
tunity to capture the cherished pennant

TO FORM AT CAPITOL

Permission to present their pageant on
Rnnsylvania Avenue on March was
granted the woman suffrage workers yes

ent of police. Moreover, the unusual
privilege of forming their lines upon the
PIAZZA and steps Of the Capitol grounds
them by the Joint consent Of the acting
President OF the Senate, Augustus o.
Bacon. and the Speaker OF the House.
Champ Clark.
Smiles were everywhere In evidence
at headquarters. Kindly words and
plenty Of gentle persuasion had won the
day, and officers organizing the pageant
had many words OF commentator for
officisldom in general and Maj. Sylvester
in particular for courtesies received while
conducting the delicate negotiations for
permission to use the Avenue the day
before the inaugural parade.
That Mai. Sylvester has undertaken in
their behalf the difficult task Of so do
ploying his men as to provide adeduats
protection to two large parades In suo-
cesstve days-a task that will cause him
no little planning and troubles warmly
appreciated by the women, and they are
writing the major a letter thanking him
for his readiness to assume the added
responsibility and burdens entailed upon
him by his permission
In his communication Maj. Sylvester
authorizes the use of the routes chosen
by the women for a parade, with music
on the south side of the street. to be
held between the hours of O'Clock In
the afternoon until 8. The route Is from
the Peace Monument on the south side
OF Pennsylvania Avenue to East ENecu-

Seventeenth Street, to Continental Hall.
2Nooo women will march along this route

through the mails yesterday. With all
difficulties out of their way, the women
say there remains hardly enough time
between now and March 3 to work out
their many plans satisfactorily.
AS fitting to the success Of their dlplo-
matte endeavors. a committee Of fair
suffragists formally nailed the suffrage
banner to the masthead. that is, to the
cornice above their headquarters door
late yesterday afternoon The ceremony
of mailing the banner into place was
the nearest thing to a riot that has taken
place anywhere around their offices. One
member OF the committee swung a ham,
mer with telling effect upon everything
In sight with the sole exception Of the
flag pole. After a short hours work
the deed was thoroughly accomplished.
and this particular committee left head
quarters to report first again to-day.
