Poor Children's Day.

The little waifs, whose annual outing
takes place to-day, will gather this morning at
Madison and Market streets for a parade, and
will then take the Illinois Central for Buffalo
Bill's grounds at Sixty-third street, where they
picnic. The Waifs' Mission, Chicago Hebrew
Mission, Unity Church Industrial School, Chicago
Home for Friendless, Chicago Nursery
and Half-Orphan Asylum and the Jewish
Training School will take part in the parade.
After the games and lunch the children will
spend the afternoon at Buffalo Bill's show by
invitation of Colonel Cody. Professor Frank
Hensler and his American Cadet band, of Milwaukee,
are at the Sherman House. There are
twenty-six pieces in the band, all played by
boys ranging in age from 6 to 15 years. The
band will furnish the music for the waifs' outing
to-day.
