Monday evening the Eighth Regiment Illinois National Guards, gave its annual grand military ball, dress parade and band concert, at the Seventh Regiment Armory, 34th and Wentworth avenue, and the affair was largely attended by three or four thousand friends and well wishers of the Regiment, and its commander, Col. John R. Marshall. Following the band concert, the music of which was simply fine, and under the leadership of chief musician, Prof. William E. Berry, the various instruments fairly talked and made those who heard and danced to the enchanting music feel that they were in fairy or dreamland. Next came the dress parade and the soldiery conduct of the officers and men taking part in it was positive proof that they had been thoroughly drilled—that their marching and counter marching was almost perfect and that they are not strangers to the very latest military tactics. At the conclusion of the dress parade, Major Franklin A. Denison, presented with suitable remarks, the gold medals and other decorations, for long years of faithful military service and expert rifle practice. Those receiving the gold medals, and for proficiency in rifle practice during the season of 1909, follow: RIFLE DECORATIONS Lieut. Col. James H. Johnson. Lieut. Louis H. Wilson. Lieut. W. V. Holmes.

The grand military ball was next in order after the foregoing ceremonies and Col. and Mrs. John R. Marshall led the grand march and a great host of others followed them; it was a brilliant sight to behold. The ball was really and truly the social side of the affair, and it is always looked forward to with much pleasure by those who are interested in the success of the 8th Regiment. The best of order prevailed throughout the evening and nothing occurred to mar the pleasure and happiness of the two or three thousand people who attended it. Col. and Mrs. John R. Marshall.

One of the popular and honorable citizens of the great west side, who will be re-elected to congress from the 8th congressional district at the election this coming fall. Emanuel, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Harris, Captain and Mrs. John L. Fry, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Washington, Mrs. Morris Lewis, Col. and Mrs. James H. Johnson, Captain James R. White, and Captain and Mrs. W. T. Jefferson, were among those occupying seats in the boxes during the progress of the ball about the house, care being taken that children do not have access to them. It is a good plan to keep a dish of this preparation just outside the back kitchen door, if there is nothing else in the way, if garbage palls or other matter need attention the flies can be killed before they have the chance to get in the house. FIGHT ON THE FLY. There has been so much talk about the house fly that it is hard to think that there are people who do not know its real character. However, it can do no harm to again warn our readers against this now universally recognized pest, the house fly. To begin with the house fly breeds in filth. Stable manure and decaying animal and vegetable matter are the sources of his birth. It is claimed that eighty per cent of all flies are bred in stable manure; garbage cans and out-door toilet houses are responsible for the remaining twenty per cent. It is important then that all stable manure be kept screened and covered so that the flies cannot get at it. The same applies to garbage receptacles of all kinds. Sprinkling garbage with kerosene will keep flies away from the cans. It also will kill the larvae and thus prevent the flies from multiplying. The first all important thing to be done in our fight against the fly is to maintain cleanliness in and about our premises. The absence of flith means fewer files. If your neighbor is maintaining a dirty uncovered manure box let the Department of Health know about it. He will be compelled to abate the nuisance. If we can only succeed in abolishing breeding places the fly nuisance will disappear. Big as this task appears to be it can more easily be done than to destroy the countless millions of files that are hatched in manure piles alone. And if every house holder will see to it that no decaying animal or vegetable matter is permitted to accumulate on his premises the flithy, disease-carrying house fly can soon be exterminated. In the meantime files must be kept out of the house. All homes and all places where food stuffs are kept, sold or manufactured must be thoroughly screened. An effective destroyer of files is two tablespoons full of Farmaldehyde in half a plat of sweetened water placed in a shallow dish. Several of these can be placed about the house, care being taken that children do not have access to them. It is a good plan to keep a dish of this preparation just outside the back kitchen door, if there is nothing else in the way, if garbage pails or other matter need attention the flies can be killed before they have the chance to get in the house. COLOR LINE WAS RAISED AT THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL CONVENTION AT WASHINGTON, D. C. It Was Lowered By Making Booker T. Washington a Life Member of That Body. The latter part of last week, and the first part of this week, the world's sixth Sunday School convention was held in Washington, D. C., and as usual, the good Christians, nit! who claim to hold a through ticket to Heaven, raised the color line, and they refused to permit the Colored delegates to be in evidence in the parade! They, the Christians, however, later on, endeavored to atone for their sins and race prejudice in this respect by voting to make Booker T. Washington, a life member of their so-called Christian Sunday School convention, and some of the white Southern delegates to it paid in part of the $1,000 towards his life membership. So that he will continue to be a good white man's "Nigger" and not refrain in his efforts from preaching his doctrine, of the civil and political inferiority of the Negro.

Will Take 45 Years at Present Rate to Care for All Consumptives. At the present rate of increase, nearly forty-five years must elapse before sufficient hospital accommodations to provide for all the indigent consumptives in the United States will be provided, declares the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis in a bulletin issued today. Although over 7,000 beds in hospitals, sanatoria, camps, and wards, for tuberculous patients were established last year, there are fully 300,000 indigent consumptives who ought to be placed in such institutions and a total of only 22,720 beds in the entire country. On May 1, 1909, there were 15,244 beds for consumptives and 294 institutions. The annual report of the National Association shows an increase of 99 institutions and 7,500 beds. population of these states is over 7,000,000. On the basis of 400 deaths to a million of population, which is approximately the present rate in the United States, there would be nearly 5,000 deaths annually from tuberculosis in these fourteen states with at least 20,000 cases of this disease all the time, and less than 500 beds to care for them. New York state leads in the number of beds for consumptives provided up to May 1st with 5,470 beds; Massachusetts is second with 2,403 beds; Pennsylvania, third with 2,347 beds; Colorado, fourth with 1,489 beds; and New Mexico fifth with 1,104 beds. As yet, not one state in the country has made adequate provision for its consumptives. New York has set itself the task of having "No uncared-for Tuberculosis in 1915" and In seven states, Alabama, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oklahoma, Wyoming, and Utah, with a combined population of 5,000,000, not one bed for consumptives has been provided. In nine states and territories, Alaska, Delaware, Florida, Kansas, Mississippi, South Carolina, Dakota, Vermont, and West Virginia, the number of beds for consumptives in each case is less than 50, while the combined CRITCHLOW AGAIN GETS INTO TROUBLE. Former Dayton Man and Convict is Denounced as Faker by Virginia Authorities According to information which reached here Tuesday from Richmond, Va., Walter G. Critchlow former president of the International Labor Union, of which he was the founder and to which Colored people chiefly belong, and who, about a year ago completed a term in the Ohio penitentiary, having been convicted on the charge of using the mails to promote a fraudulent scheme, has been denounced as a faker in that city. Colonel Joseph Button, of the Virginia Insurance department, has set about to frustrate the efforts of Critchlow, who has been again inserting advertisements in certain Negro papers of the state asking ior agents. Critchlow was stopped by the department last Winter after he had swindled many Negroes in several cities of Virginia, he said: The insurance commissioners of Ohio wrote the department in Virginia, denouncing Critchlow as a "bold fake." As a result of this communication, Colonel Button has made the statement that Critchlow is a swindler and declared that his concern had no right to do business in that state. He also warned agents to have nothing to do with Critchlow, and that they would thus stay out of the hands of the law. It will be recalled that Critchlow was apprehended about 18 months ago and convicted of using the mails fraudulently. He was sentenced by the late Judge Thompson, of the United States Court, at Cincinnati, after one of the severest arraignments that had ever been administered any one convicted in his court. During his incarceration Critchlow repudiated his wife, refusing to allow her to visit him, and after his release married his stenographer. He again returned his former tactics, tendering quite an elaborate banquet to the members of the international k in Beds the United States. Years at Present Care for All emptives. population of these states is over 7,000,000. On the basis of 400 deaths to a million of population, which is approximately the present rate in the United States, there would be nearly 5,000 deaths annually from tuberculosis in these fourteen states with at least 20,000 cases of this disease all the time, and less than 500 beds to care for them. New York state leads in the number of beds for consumptives provided up to May 1st with 5,470 beds; Massachusetts is second with 2,408 beds; Pennsylvania, third with 2,347 beds; Colorado, fourth with 1,489 beds; and New Mexico fifth with 1,104 beds. As yet, not one state in the country has made adequate provision for its consumptives. New York has set itself the task of having "No uncared-for Tuberculosis in 1915," and several cities in other parts of the country have adopted similar programs. The National Association says that tuberculosis will not be stamped out until all cases of this disease are cared for either in their homes or in institutions. With this end in view, efforts will be made to increase the number of hospital beds in this country to at least 35,000 by May 1, 1911. Labor Union and other employees. Subsequently he left Dayton and nothing had been heard of him until his present escape in Virginia.—Dayton Journal, May 19, 1910. Several Negro newspapers, in this city, whose editors and owners, are living from hand to mouth, while claiming to have twenty-five thousand readers, are at the present time carrying ads. in the columns of their unreliable publications, for Critchlow, thereby, assisting him to swindle the poor ignorant Colored people in this section of the country—Editor. "OUR INHERITANCE," BY Z. WITHERS, AUTHOR OF "SLAVERY DAYS." One of the most valuable and interesting books which has fell under our observation for some time in relation to the Afro-American race in the United States is "Our Inheritance "by Z. Withers, author of "Slavery Days." It is printed by The Tribune Publishing Company, Oakland, Cal., and it is for sale by the Advocate Publishing Company, 129½ Fifth Street, Portland, Ore. Price 50 cents per copy. It is very artistically bound in blue cloth embossed in white making it very attractive indeed. It consists of over 100 pages, printed in large bold face type. It is dedicated to Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker, "The friend of my race, because the friend of mankind." Mr. Withers, couches his expressions and ideas in clear and convincing English, and to say the least it is a contribution to the literature relative to the history of the Negro in this country—his hard trials, struggles, in his effort to climb upward to his full right as an American citizen, which should be possessed by every Afro-American throughout the length and breadth of this land.

THERE IS NO GIFT IN THE REPUBLIC TOO GREAT FOR THE MEN WHO SAVED THE REPUBLIC. From a Speech of Hon. William Sulzer, of New York, in the House of Representatives. Recently, Congressman William Sulzer of New York, eloquently spoke in part as follows, while introducing his measure, in behalf of the old soldiers who saved the union during the slave holders rebellion in 1681 and 1865. Mr. Sulzer said: I introduced this bill because I am a friend of the soldiers who saved the Union, and I want to reward them while they live. Nobody here can ever say, and nobody outside of these halls will ever be able to say, that during the sixteen years I have been a Member of this House I ever voted against a bill in the interests of the soldiers and sailors who saved the Union. This is a rich country; this is a great country; this is the grand Republic; and it is all so to a very large extent on account of what the brave and gallant men who marched from the North did in the great struggle for the Union. We owe them a debt of gratitude we never can pay, and gratitude, my friends, is the fairest flower that sheds its perfume in the human heart. We should be grateful to the soldiers who fought that great war to a successful end. I can not bring my ideas in favor of this bill down to the level of mere dollars and cents. I place my views on higher ground I want it to pass for patriotism—the noblest sentiment that animates the soul of man. I say that there is no gift in the Republic too great for the men who saved the Republic. THE HIRAM KELLY BRANCH OF THE CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY THROUGH THE EFFORTS OF ITS PRESIDENT, ROBERT J. ROULSTON WILL BE CONSTRUCTED, CORNER 62ND AND NORMAL AVENUE. No doubt it is pleasing to the citizens of Eaglewood and the Town of Lake; to learn that the Hiram Kelly, branch of the Chicago Public Library, will be constructed on a fine plot of ground expressly obtained for that purpose, corner of 62nd and Normal Avenue. Mr. Kelly, was a wealthy lumberman, and being a warm friend of education and in order to perpetuate his name and memory, the building which will be modern in every respect, will cost when completed, $75,000. Buildings occupying the ground are being removed as rapidly as possible and in the near future; constructive work will be commenced. Mr. Rouliston, deserves the everlasting thanks of all the citizens of Chicago, for the business like manner in which he is conducting all of the affairs pertaining to the public library. A large number of members and visitors attended the regular meeting of the Phyllis Wheatley Woman's Club at the residence of Mrs. Bell Thomas, 3832 Wabash Ave., Wed., May 18.

The Club Journal, edited by Miss Addie Morris was full of spicy news of racial interest. The report of the Coronation Party, May 2nd, was given, and a unanimous vote of thanks was tendered the Clubs of Young Folks and the Public, who helped to make the affair a success. The total receipts were $62.10, expenditures $43.90. Miss Bertha Jenkins having sold the largest number of tickets was awarded the first prize—a handsome willow plume made by Mrs. G. W. Lambert, 3109 Prairie Ave. Mrs. E. L. Davis, won the second prize,-a beautiful chop plate painted by Mrs. Nora Lee, 5259 Dearborn St. The yearly taxes amounting to $55.73 were reported paid.

Court Gives Aged Afro-American Clear Title to His Property. Justice Aspinali of the Queens county supreme court, New York, has decided that Primus Vorn Dorn, an aged Afro-American, is entitled to his home, which he has owned for forty-four years in Jamaica, N. Y. The land in question consists of four and a quarter acres and is valued at $15,000. Mr. Van Dorn paid $50 for it in 1886. He is now in the eighty-eighth year of his age. He is the son of a slave who was set free by his master in New Jersey and who afterward moved out on Long Island. The family settled in the Springfield section, which was then almost in the heart of a wilderness, midway between Jamaica and Far Rockaway. The family continued to reside on the place, and in 1856 young Van Dorn, then of age, married and purchased a plot from John Conselya. The deed conveyed one and a quarter acres, more or less. The boundary was a little stream which has since dried up. As the years went by and the small water barrier was removed Van Dorn, who was engaging in farming pursuits, was a little careless of the amount of land he cultivated. No one told him to stop, and he worked a section containing nearly five acres. He testified that he has held adverse possession ever since, and in this he was corroborated by others. No one paid attention to him, because the land was not considered worth while bothering about. Recently, however, all the section around has been developed, and the value of the land rose. Then some of the heirs of the former John Conselyea decided to evict Mr. Van Dorn and gain possession of the land; but, having held it so long, he fought back. In the case that was submitted to the court all the facts were agreed upon, and it left but a question of law for the court to decide to whom the property belonged.

The exercises were held in the Fleet Street Memorial A. M. E. Zion church, of which the Rev. Dr. A. A. Crooke is pastor. The lodges represented were: Alpha, No. 1381; Morning Star, No. 1470; Mount Zion, No. 1670; Cherubim, No. 6871, and Alvin, No. 7888. Households present were: Victorla, Olga, Mara and Queen Esther. The children were seated with the past grand masters' council, patriarchs and other high officials. The scene was a beautiful one to look upon as lodge after lodge marched into the auditorium of the church in full regalia. The sermon was delivered by Dr. A. A. Crooke, whose subject was "The Significance of Thanksgiving." The discourse stirred the members to a degree of approval seldom witnessed on such occasions. It was forceful, logical and full of good advice. District Grand Secretary Charles Summer Lewis, Mrs. B. E. De Toscano, worthy recorder; Mrs. Sarah Williams and Grand Master David Brown each made brief addresses, in which they told of the work and progress of the order during the year. At the meeting of the state grand lodge in Rochester last year it was decided to start a fund for the purpose of erecting at some central point in the state of New York a home for the aged members of the order; therefore the collection taken at this service was set aside for that specific purpose. Dinner For Y. M. C. A. Managers. Plans are being perfected for the first annual dinner of the committee of management of the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association, Brooklyn. The dinner will be held at the branch 405 Carlton avenue, on Wednesday evening, June 15. It will be an invitational affair. The object of the gathering, aside from its social features, is to lay before the citizens of Brooklyn the necessity of the work from a business standpoint. The craze for automobile and taxi-cab riding, fine clothing and a host of useless extravagances is keeping the colored man back, says the Portland (Ore.) Advocate. Why not imitate the foreigner who before he learns to speak the English language launches out in some kind of business—bootblack stand, pushchair, fruit stand or something equally humble—and in a few years becomes independently rich and in this manner helps to make a place in the world of affairs for their people. Cuban Negroes Seek Legal Redress. The Negro situation in Cuba has recently assumed some very important phases. A large number of Negroes who were arrested some time ago have refused to be released on ball, claiming the right of free speech. General Freyse Andrade, secretary to former President Palma, has offered to defend the prisoners in their claim to be heard, and the situation now looks dark for the administration SIRES AND SONS.

She was a sight so fair to see It thrilled my soul with ecstasy. A wealth of mellow charms were here Enwrap in truly gorgeous furs, Her step a thing of life, her form Enough to rouse a jealous storm Among the graces and an eye That dimmed the luster of the sky. She paused upon the gutter curb. Ah, me, her pose was so superb It made me think perhaps that she Had stood for Winged Victory In some remote time of the past Amid some other cycle cast! She paused, and glancing stonily, She gave an upper arm to me That left me feazed And sadly dazed. "A-ah! Wither away!" quoth she. —Harper's Weekly. Forgot the Judge. Two lawyers before a probate judge recently got into a wrangle. At last one of the disputants, losing control over his emotions, exclaimed to his opponent: "Sir, you are, I think, the biggest ass that I ever had the misfortune to set eyes upon."

The word "money" is derived from "moneta," a name given by the Romans to their silver pieces because coined in a building on the Capitoline hill attached to the temple of Jupiter Moneta. The officers in charge of the mint were called triumviri montales, and Niebuhr thinks that they were introduced at the time when the Romans first began to coin silver. Standing Armies The first standing army of modern times was established by Charles VII. of France in 1445. In England the first standing army was organized in 1638. Folding a Man's Coat To fold a man's coat lay the coat out perfectly flat with the inside down. The sleeves should be spread out smoothly and then folded back to the elbow until each end of the sleeve is even with the collar.

From nettle fiber a thread has been produced so fine that a length of sixty miles of it weighs but two and a half pounds. Orang-utan. Orang-utan is a Malay word derived from orang, man, and utan, woods. It would appear from this that the Dyaks of Borneo, who use the term, were Darwinians at an early date.

Apollo's Favorite Instrument. Apollo was the old god of music, and his favorite instrument, the lyre, was invented by Mercury. When the latter was four hours old he found the shell of a tortoise and made it into a lyre with nine strings in honor of the nine muses.

The ancients thought the world was flat I'm really not surprised at that. We'd find it flat, I dars to say, If we were living in their day.
