THE BROAD AX The Eighth Regiment Illinois National Guards Grand Military Ball and Entertainment at the Seventh Regiment Armory Was Attended by an Immense Throng of People, and $1,500 Was Realized From It Which Will be Expended Towards Purchasing Ground For a Home of Its Own. Col. John R. Marshall Writes a Letter Thanking The Broad Ax for Assisting To Make It a Great Success. Vol. XV The Eighth Regiment Illinois Grand Military tainment at the ment Armory Was Attended by an Immer $1,500 Was Realized F pended Towards Purcha of Its Own. Col. John R. Marshall Writ Broad Ax for Assisting Monday evening the Eighth Regiment Illinois National Guards, gave its grand military ball and entertainment at the Seventh Regiment Armory, 34th and Wentworth ave.; and it was attended by an immense throng of people. The drilling by the First Regiment, Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias; the Twelfth Regiment of Patriarchs, G. U. O. of O: F.; Company F. Seventh Infantry, Ill., National Guard; the Knight Templars, the Zouaves, and by the crack company of the Eighth Regiment, was indeed very fine and the orderly and soldierly bearing and movement of the well trained men taking part in them, speaks very highly of their respective commanding officers and all the drilling was so exceedingly good, it was hard to tell which company was the best. Shortly after 10 o'clock the grand march was formed and it was led by Col. John R. Marshall and Miss Essie Arnold, who were followed by more than one thousand people, and fully four thousand people were in the Armory and danced and listened to the splendid music furnished by the Eighth Regiment Band. Many of the ladies attending it wore very handsome and striking costumes and the best of order prevailed throughout the evening, in fact it was a regular old fashioned Democratic ball, for the rich and the poor, the Colonels, the Majors, the Captains, the lawyers and Doctors, freely mingled with each other and greatly enjoyed the affair. HELL BENT FOR :PLEASURE It would seem from the number of cheap theatres, and other theatres that are always well patronized on Sunday, from the increasing number of Christian church people who give or attend public balls, from the large number of leading citizens who simply seem to close their eyes to crookiness and grafting in public officials, from the scandalously large number of male society leaders who publicly consort with members of the demi-monde, and the seemingly ever-increasing number of people who become intoxicated at social gatherings it would indeed seem that the great mass of people were hell-bent in search of questionable pleasure Here we find professedly Christian women giving public balls and acting as "barmalde," slinging beer and liquor in the name of "charity." There we find a party of married women, most of whom are members of the various churches, so conducting themselves with male companions at a social that several separations resulted. One lady, an unsophisticated, young married country girl, who had just come to town a bride, complained to The Informer that a party her husband took her to, among supposedly Detroit's best Afro-American society, every one present except herself became disguisingly intoxicated, including her own husband in the ogle. These occurrences are not confined to Afro-Americans by any means; they are in fact, just as prevalent among Caucasians as among Colored people, and it causes one to pause and wonder whith- Col, and Mrs. John R. Marshall, Lieut.-Col. James H. and Mrs. Johnson, Major and Mrs. Robert R. Jackson; Major and Mrs. Franklin A. Denison; Lieut. and Mrs. Louis B. Anderson; Captain and Mrs. James S. Nelson; Captain and Mrs. James R. White; Captain and Mrs. Wm. T. Jefferson; Dr. and Mrs. Ed. S. Miller, Prof. and Mrs William Emanuel; Mr. and Mrs. R. A. J. Shaw; Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Evans; Mr. and Mrs. Jameison; Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Harris and Miss Essie Arnold were among those occupying seats in the boxes. The following letter from Col. John R. Marshall, the popular commander of the Eighth Regiment shows that $1,500 above expenses was realized, which sum will be expended as part of the purchase money for the ground on which an Armory will be erected for it. Julius F. Taylor— My Dear Editor:— Please accept by sincere thanks and the thanks of the Regiment for your kind assistance, through your good paper for the articles published in The Broad Ax, they assisted in bringing to our entertainment hundreds of our friends. Our entertainment was a grand success financially, we will have about $1500 clear above expenses which will go toward paying for the ground for the Armory. Again thanking you, believe me to be sincerely yours, JOHN R. MARSHALL, Col. 8th Reg. Inf. Ill. N. G. er are we socially drifting. That sterling, honest, rugged, Christian character that was so prominent among social leaders during the early life of the nation seems now sadly lacking. Men seem to obtain little or no satisfaction from leading the correct life of Christian probity. More and more both women and men seem to be drifting away from simple lives of rectitude. Too many men and women of both races, are living together without being legally married. There is no excuse for this. We know of one instance where a member of a secret order is now living adulterously with the brother in his own lodge, and she pretends to be a Christian. Then a white man had lived with the bride Judge Phelan caused him to legally marry 15 years before that event and with her had raised a family of three children. What a senseless stigma to put upon the lives of these children. In a recent sermon Rev. Dr. Wallace, of Bethel church, declared that "no person should try to be both a sinner and a Christian at the same time." The wisdom of this statement is made very apparent by the foregoing short resume of social conditions There should be a marked line of elevation between the sinner and the Christion. The latter should seek only to lift up th former, not by going down to the level of the sinner, but by lifting the sinner, up to the level of the honest and true Christian lady and gentlemen—The Informer, Detroit, Mich. To all of this we say Amen! Amen! Reather, Warren—Editor. CHICAGO, FEBRUARY 19, 1910.

TUBERCULOSIS NOT SUFFICIENTLY TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS. is to instruct every school child about the dangers of the disease, and to Definite instruction concerning the nature and methods of prevention of tuberculosis is being given to 1,750 than 6 per cent. of the public school children of the United States according to a bulletin issued today by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Recent investigation has shown that in only nine cities, Washington, D. C., Dallas, Tex., Richmond, Va., Poughkepse, N. Y., Detroit, Mich., Malden, Mass., Salem, Mass., Saginaw, Mich., and Knoxville, Tenn., are special text-books being used or lectures being given about tuberculosis. In three states and one territory, Michigan, Massachusetts, North Carolina and Porto Rico, laws have been passed requiring that instruction about the nature and methods of prevention of tuberculosis be given in all public schools. In Tennessee, the State Department of Education has requested that such instruction be given, and has issued circulars for this purpose. In New Jersey and West Virginia wall-cards giving instruction are hung in every school room and the attention of all children is called to them. The actual number of children, however, who will this year be taught by their teachers that tuberculosis is o communicable, infectious disease, and that it can be prevented, will not exceed one million. If the state laws requiring such instruction were strictly enforced, at least 2,000,000 children would be reached. While tuberculosis does not cause as many deaths among the school children as it does among workingmen or among infants under five years of age, the National Association gives some figures to show how serious the disease is among this class. Based on the census of 1900, it is estimated that nearly 100,000 children now in school will die of tuberculosis before they are eighteen years of age, or that about 6,400 die annually from this disease. Estimating that on an average each child who dies of tuberculosis has had six years of schooling the aggregate loss to the country in wasted education each year amounts to $1,152,000. According to investigations made in New York, Boston and Stockholm, the percentage of children who are afflicted with tuberculosis is much larger than the death rate would indicate. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis declares that there are two ways of checking the ravages of tuberculosis among school children. The first way is to instruct every school child about the dangers of the disease, and to show them how they themselves may prevent tuberculosis in their homes. The second method is to establish open-air schools for all children who have tuberculosis or who are suspected cases, segregating them from the healthy children. WAS JESUS REALLY DIVINE? Explaining how Jesus came to be regarded as divine—the Son of God—Rev Henrich Rower says: "We are all acquainted with the fact that in their mythological legends the Greeks and the Romans and other nations of antiquity speak of certain persons as the sons of the gods. An example of this is Hercules, the Greek hero, who is the son of Jupiter, and an earthly mother. Other examples are Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, who are pictured as the sons of Mars and a human virgin mother. The same claim is put forth in reference to Cyrus, the great king of the Persians; also to Alexander the Great, Augustus, and the great founder of an Oriental religion, Buddha. All those men who performed greater deeds than those which human beings usually do are regarded by an antiquity as of divine origin. This Greek and heathen notion has been applied to the New Testament and churchly conception of the person of Jesus. We must remember that at the time when Christianity sprang into evidence, Greek culture and Greek religion spread over the whole world. It is accordingly nothing remarkable that the Christians took from the heathens the highest religious conceptions that they possessed and transferred them to Jesus. They accordingly called him the son of God, and declared that he had been supernaturally born of a virgin. This is the Greek and heathen influence which has determined the character of the account given in Matthew and Luke concerning the birth of Jesus. It was the purpose in this to express that which was great, holy, and divine, that which could not be grasped or explained in his character." MRS. MARTHA B. ANDERSON HAS RESIGNED FROM THE LEADERSHIP OF THE QUINN CHAPEL CHOIR. Mrs. Martha B. Anderson, 6450 Champlain avenue, who has become very noted as the sweet voiced soprano, soloist, this week resigned from the leadership of the Quinn Chapel choir, which she has so successfully conducted for more than three years, and by hard work made it the best choir among the Afro-Americans in this city. It was a rare treat and a great attraction to hear Mrs. Anderson sing, and she will be greatly missed by the lovers of music who frequented Quinn chapel. The True Meanings of Census Terms As Set Forth by the Department of Commerce and Labor at Washington, D. C. People Dwelling in Public Buildings, Stores, Factories and So On, Will on April 15th Be Classed by The Enumerators As Families. Washington, D. C., February 17, 1910.—The official definitions of the terms "dwelling house" and "family," with reference to the population schedule to be carried by the enumerators in the Thirteenth United States Census, beginning April 15th next, are explained in the Census Bureau's lengthy printed instructions to the canvassers. It is pointed out that the answers should relate only to conditions existing on April 15th, the "Census Day.' The words "dwelling house" and "family" are, for census purposes, given a much wider application than they have in ordinary speech. A "dwelling" is defined as a place in which, at the time of the census, one or more persons regularly sleep. It need not be a house in the common meaning of the word, but may be, for example, a room in a factory, store or office building, a loft over a stable, a canal boat, a tent, or a wigwam. The term also includes a hotel, boarding or lodging house, a tenement or apartment house, an institution of school building if persons regularly sleep there, as well as the ordinary dwelling house. A "family," as a census term, may mean a group of individuals who occupy jointly a dwelling place or part of a dwelling place, or an individual NEW LIFE HAS BEEN INTERJECTED INTO ST. MONICA'S CHURCH BY ITS PASTOR REV. FATHER JOHN SHERIDAN MORRIS. Rev. Father John Sheridan Morris, the new inergetic pastor of St. Monica's Church, 36th and Dearborn street, who is doing a great work to better the conditions of the people around and about him, morally and intellectually takes pleasure in announcing, the opening of a reading room and free circulating library at 3317 State street, on Thursday evening, February 24th, to which all persons, irrespective of their nationality or creed will be welcomed. The reading rooms, will be open day and evening, and will be in charge of a pleasant librarian. Father Morris has also formed the men of the parish into a club, under the name of St. Augustine. His object will be to develop the work in this respect, along the lines of the Y. M. C. A. and in the near futures he contemplates the formation of a temperance society among the youths residing in his parish. He will also form a class for converts, beginning Monday evening, February 21st, at 8 P. M., in St. Monica's church, where they will receive their first instructions. The Interior of the church has been greatly improved and very artistically decorated. Three new altars have been added. A new handsome communion roll has been erected. Four new beautiful statues of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Sacred Heart of Mary; Sacred Heart of St. Joseph, and the immaculate Conception. Electricity, has displaced gas, as the means of lighting the church, and it is well worth a visit to it to view manings Census Terms the Department e and Labor at D.

All the occupants and employees of a hotel, if they regularly sleep there, make up a single family, because they occupy one dwelling place, and persons living alone in cabins, huts, or tents; persons occupying a room or rooms in public buildings, stores, warehouses, factories, or stables; and persons sleeping on river boats, canal boats, barges, etc., if they have no other usual place of abode, are regarded as families. The enumerators are required to enter on the schedule the name of every person whose usual place of abode on April 15, 1910, was with the family or in the dwelling place for which the enumeration is being made. The head of the family is to be entered first; then the wife; next the children, whether sons or daughters, in the order of their ages; and lastly, all other persons living with the family, whether relatives, boarders lodgers, or servants. The head of the family, whether husband or father, widow or unmarried person of either sex, is to be designated by the word "head;" and the other members of a family as wife, father, mother, son, daughter, grandson, daughter-in-law, uncle, aunt, niece, boarder, lodger, servant, etc., according to the particular relationship which the person bears to the head of the family. the beautifully decorated ceiling, walls and sanctuary. Therefore it can now be truthfully stated that St. Monica, for its size is one of the best and finest churches in the diocese. Thus showing that Father Morris has accomplished a wonderful work since assuming charge of it less than three months ago, and he still sees a brighter future for it and for the people who attend in whose interest he is unselfly laboring. The next issue of this paper will give the date on which a sacred concert will be heed for the benefit of St. Monica. HOPKINS HEADS RISK COMPANY. Succeeds Fred M. Blount as President of Bonding Corporation. Former United States Senator Albert J. Hopkins has been elected president of the Illinois Surety Company to suceed Fred M. Blount. The corporation, which bonds many city, county and state employes, was organized by Mr. Hopkins a number of years ago, but has been under the direct management of Mr. Blount. Although retiring from the presidency of the company, Mr. Blount will retain his place as a member of the board of directors, and within a few days will go to Colorado to look into affairs of the concern there. The Illinois surety Surety Company is one of the best in its line of business in this country and under the direct management of former Senator Hopkins, it will forge further to the front than it has in the past.

The Columbian of Louisville, Ky., in its last issue reproduced our article in full on Cary B.

Arrested For Alleged Violation of Prohibition Law—Cruel Injustice. It was a cruel fate that consigned Messrs. W. C. Dobbs of Detroit, Mich, and James Hill of Toledo, O., to cells in the common jail of a Michigan county simply for obeying their employers, the Flint and Pere Marquette, in serving liquor to the patrons of the road while passing through "dry" counties. But one of these counties in question employed "spotters" to investigate and see if there were any illegal sales of liquor being made in their county, and as they knew liquor was sold on trains it was easy to catch the W. C. DOBBS. easy to catch the colored buffet men who served it, as the railroads had made no order to stop such sales at certain points, and the average railroad employee never knows whether he is in a "dry" county or a "wet" county while passing through the state. When Dobbs and Hill were arrested the railroad attorneys promptly advised them to plead guilty in the belief that a fine would be imposed which the company would pay and thus secure the prompt release of their men, but judges are prone to spring surprises, and the consternation of both the men and railroad officials may be imagined when the judge in this case imposed both a fine of $50 each and imprisonment for twenty days in the common jail. One may think that the judge in this case who so unjustly sent two colored gentlemen to prison for practically nothing was a southern Democrat, but instead he was a northern Republican. But the sheriff of the county, a Mr. Shields, is a northern Democrat, and he promptly recognized the injustice of sentencing these men to a jail term and made their enforced visit to "his house" as pleasant as possible. The Hon. Thaddeus W. Taylor of Howell, a prominent Republican race leader and business man, became interested in the men, and under his chaperonage both Mrs. Dobbs and Hill attended several parties given in their honor by the colored citizens of Howell. On one occasion Sheriff Shields left the jail in charge of Mr. Dobbs while the former took his family to the theater. Wise Little Boys. Moonshine In the South. Just as Good. The Reason.

Richness need not involve extravagance. The very best, both in caskets and service, may now be had at a reasonable and legitimate price from The Western Casket & Undertaking Company, the only funeral directors who manufacture caskets and furnishings and deal direct with the people. What Can Positively Be Saved We have placed the undertaking business on an equitable basis. $15 caskets are offered that cannot be duplicated for $20 to $50; also caskets— Nothing finer is produced. Intermediate grades are offered at proportionate reductions. The Western Casket & Undertaking Company are not affiliated with any city, state or national undertaker's association, or with any association of casket manufacturers. They are truly independent. Their whole idea in doing business is to reduce the cost of funerals to rich and poor alike. Chas. S.

DAMES AND DAUGHTERS. Mrs. Elizabeth Cockran Seaman, once the popular Nelly Bly of newspaper perdoia, is now manager of a big business concern in Brooklyn. Mrs. Jane Sacks of Jennet township, Pa., who is eighty-six years of age, can thread a needle without spectacles and has the vitality of a woman of half her years. Miss Helen Taft has traveled around the world with her parents. She speaks French almost as easily as English and while at Manila learned to talk Spanish and also the native Tagalog. Mrs. John E. McElroy of Albany, N. Y., was hostess of the White House in the time of President Arthur, her brother. There are three other living ex-hostesses—Mrs. Garfield, Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Roosevelt. Lady Affeck has taken a situation in a shop in London, and the fact has caused a great deal of comment among her friends. She says that she examined her talents when she found the necessity for going into business and decided that her best chance for success was as a saleswoman. Things Theatrical. Miss Henrietta Crosman will not play "Sham" after this season, as she will have a new play. John Drew may be seen next season as Benedick in a revival of "Much Ado About Nothing." Laura Nelson Hall will play the leading feminine role in Sidney Rosenfeld's new play, "Children of Destiny." Mabel Barrison and Harry Conor are to have prominent parts in an adaptation from a German farce called "Lulu's Husbands." "The Midnight Sons" will go on tour after playing the best part of the year in New York. It will probably have a summer run in Chicago. "The Commuters," which Henry B. Harris is to produce about the middle of April at Atlantic City, is by James Forbes, author of "The Chorus Lady" and "The Traveling Salesman." Household Hints. Allow four eggs to each quart of milk in making cup custards. Even a dishcloth may prove expensive. If dirty it may cause typhoid; if linty it may clog the plumbing. A spoonful of ox gall to a gallon of water will set the colors of almost any goods soaked in it previous to washing. Turpentine should be sprayed or sprinkled in the haunts of cockroaches. It will often quite destroy the pests and will always disperse them. A clean cloth dipped in hot water, then a saucer of bran, will speedily clean white paint without injury to it. The soft bran acts like soap on the dirt. Law Points. The mere act of a trespasser in tearing down one's outlying fence after he has been warned to desist is held in Newcome versus Russell (Ky), 117 S. W. 305, 22 L. R. A. (N. S.), 724, not to justify shooting or wounding him with a firearm so as to relieve the assailant from liability in damages for assault. The wife is held in state versus Orth, 79 Ohio St. 130. 8 N. E. 476, 22 L. R. A. (N. S.), 240, not to be a competent witness to testify on behalf of the trial of the latter upon an indictment charging him with violation of a statute in refusing to provide for his minor children. State Lines. In Louisiana the law permits a widow to marry again only provided she has waited until ten months after the death of her husband. The mineral production in Idaho amounted to $15,600,000 in 1909. a gain of about $250,000 over 1908. These figures do not include the output of the many smaller properties or placers. Pennsylvania is a large state, with plenty of mountain territory, and it is declared by the state game commission that the number of bears killed there in recent years has surpassed that of the deer. Money Matters. Of the world's stock of money $7,000,000,000 is gold, $3,500,000,000 silver and four and one-third billions uncovered paper. The colling value of silver produced from the mines of the world since 1492 is practically equal to that of the gold produced in that period—$13,000,000,000. The comptroller of the currency has issued an order advising all national bank examiners that under no circumstances should bank clerks be asked to assist in examining banks in which they are employed. Facts From France. Abstylene torches for use in cases of sense fog have been supplied to the police stations of Paris. The 40,000,000 inhabitants of France consume on an average more than 100 quarts of wine per head per annum. Edmund Thery, a French economist, estimates the increase in the wealth of France during 1800 at $1,200,000,000. The coal production of France is insufficient for her needs, although in the last ten years it has increased from 20,000,000 to 28,000,000 tons. We Give Fish's Stamps F. & P.

Washington. Henry E. Legler, the librarian of the Chicago Public library, has for many years made a practice of recommending twenty books each for the different classes of readers who use the library. He divides the books for this purpose into books for men, women, girls, boys and young children. Colonel Charles Chaille-Long, soldier, lawyer, explorer, diplomat and author, has been honored by the American Geographical society, which has awarded him the Daly geographical medal for his services in Africa. The special work for which he was honored was the solution of the Nile source problem. The Count of Turin, the Duke of the Abruzz's brother, has been proving himself a mighty hunter in Africa, whence he is returning after a great hunting expedition. He brings back a splendid collection of stuffed animals and skins, which are to form a special section of the Zoological museum at Florence. Sporting Notes.

She is a homemaker as well as an author, has two small daughters and belongs to no clubs, movements or female agitations of any sort whatever. Sven Hedin, the explorer and author, is a Swede, forty-four years old and unmarried. His home is in Stockholm, but since 1885 his time has been spent largely in the wildest regions of Asia. He is a good linguist and has received titles and medals from various governments. Harold MacGrath is on his way around the world, having the very finest kind of a time, hobnobbing with ambassadors, lunching in the shade of the pyramids and in the ruins of Karnak, storing his mind with a thousand romantic hints at Athens, at Bagdad, at Benares and Mandalay. The Royal Box. Every morning of his life Alfonso XIII. has a good rump steak and potatoes for his first breakfast, often preceded by eggs and sometimes followed by salad and fruit. The kaiser from his private purse makes a grant amounting to about $15 on the birth of an eighth son in any family of the same father and mother. The kaiser also promises to stand as godfather to the lucky eighth son. The Princess of Wales has a fan covered with 6,520 woodcock feathers from the wings of 3,260 woodcocks, there being only one feather of the sort in each wing. The Prince of Wales supplied the birds, and the making of the fan occupied one hour a day of a woman's time for more than a year. Train and Track. Narrow gauge trackage is used only for industrial railways at present. In England street car conductors are paid no more than laborers till they have served two years, when they receive the maximum rate of 12 cents an hour. Motormen are paid a shade more. The famous engine No. 909, which used to haul the Empire State express when it became known as the fastest train in the world, now occasionally does the ignoble work of hauling a freight train on the Home, Watertown and Ogdenburg division of the New York Central railroad.
