One thing that is gratifying is that
the problem of employment. seems to
settle itself more easily than any other
question. These new cOmerS seem to
find work in the stock yards and in
many other places where every day
plain work is in need of plain workers.
The SOciOlJgist and the politician are
especially interested in this constant
Increase of raw material from the
Southern States. 1t will not be long
before the colOred population will be
larger than any other nationality, eX-
cept the German and Irish, in the city,
and must be reckoned with.
In the recent conference, held at the
institutional Church, to inquire into
the condition of the colOred people of
ChlcagO, Prof. Dubois called attention
10 the growing Importance of Chicago
as the center of very large Negro
population. Probably no city in this
country are the conditions so favor
aoIe TO the absorption of a Negro col
ony. The prejudices here are less fiXed
than in the Eastern cities, and polit-
zeal power of the people seems to be
recognized in a way that is most help

oone IN Chicago to meet the conditions
growing out of this constantly increas-
ing population of colored people? In

aged and controlled exclusively by col
Ored people is The United Brotherhood,
a fraternal insurance association orga-
niZed on the plan of Inc Royal Area
mum and The ForesterS. II is the only
fraternaI insurance having a charter
based on the Massachusetts, law gov
erning fraternal orders. On the direc-
tory are found such names as j. c. Ma
pier, of Nashville, Tenn; John Davis,
of Louisiana; DR.. Daniel II. Williams.
S. Laing Williams. David c.. Weir j. s.
Madden, j. r. Taylor, j. ID. Smith and
A. P. Perry, of Chicago, Ill. The COM
pany has been organized for three
years and has earned the confidence of
the community by the honesty and ef-
ficiency of it's management. 1t has
promptly paid all it's MOrtuary and
other liabilities, and has been highly
commended by the insurance commits
sfOner of the State for the business
like way in which it's affairs have been
conducted. This insurance association
affords an excellent opportunity for
young men and women of energy and
ability to make of themselves some
thing in the business world.
The charter of the order is national
and the management is making ar
rangementS to extend its benefits into
other States beside Illinois. That the
cOlored people are interested in insur-
ance is shown by the interesting fact
that in Richmond, Va, over $4,000 of
the 10000 Negro population are in
sured. With this ever enlarging Negro
population in the Lake City, it will be
possible to develop many kinds of Ne
gro enterprises. The number of small
merchants and shopkeepers is increas-
ing.
What is still of greater Importance
is the fine advantages offered by the
mixed schools of Chicago There are
about 5000 cOlOred children now en-
rolled in our city schools, besides the
opportunities for higher education af-
forded by two of the greatest univer-
stiles in the nOrthwest-the Chicago
and the Northwestern. NOtwith stand
ing all these advantages of large pOpu-
latiOn, schools and culture, there is
a pressing need of the cooperative
spirit among the people. If the peO-
pie of Chicago could use their larger
liberties and civic privileges in CO
operative way, to the same extent that
the people of Richmond and other
Southern cities have used their re-
Chicago would soon become
an example of the highest progress.

QUARANTINE VIOLATIONS.

THE HERALD desires once more to
L call attention of salt Lakers to the
necessity for observing quarantine reg
uIadons. This paper does not believe
many people willfully violate the ordi-
nances and the regulations Of the
health department. Most Of the infrac-
tons are through deplorabIe ignorance
Of the nature Of diseases Of contagious
character. especially scarlet fever.
Many new cases Of this trouble are be-
ing reported every day to the board OF
health It is thought that a number of
them could be prevented by the proper
observance Of quarantine laws.
When a child shows symptoms of i'll
ness it is the duty Of the parent to i'm
mediately summon some competent au-
thOrity to examine it. When scarlet
fever is Of a particularly mild type the
patient does not seem to get i'll enough
to need the attention of a physician.
Home remedies are applied for slight
sore threats accompanied by a little
fever. and. when nothing more serious
develops. the parents take it for grant
ed that the child has not suffered from
any contagious disease. The reverse is
often true.
1t is the mild case that the health
authorities most dread, for through the
mild case serious ones are frequently
contracted. The fact that a child has
scarlet fever in so light a form that it
is not necessary to keep the youngster
at home, is by no means an indication
that cases contracted from it viii also
be mild. Extreme caution, therefore,
/ is always necessary. 1t is impossible
for the health officers to detect all
cases Of scarlet fever They are ready
and willing. though, to respond to calls
and 10 make investigations at all times
In this they are entitled TO the I'M
/ swerving support OF every citizen.
| When neighbors suspect that scarlet
/ fever in any form is in their vicinity,
/ they should report, and it is their plain
/ duty to report, the matter to the board
of health at once. It is surprising 20
note the absence Of public spirit in
such matters. For fear Of starting a
neighborhood quarrel hOusekeepers viii
actually risk the lives Of their own
children rather than inform the au-
thorities Of quarantine infractions.
Splendid work has been done by
Health Commissioner King and those
under him, but they cannot do it all
by themselves. The citizens generally
must hold up the hands Of the officials.
If they do not. no one can say when
the city win be purged Of contagion.

There are some interesting facts in
connection with Cuba which may have
escaped the recollection Of students Of
history and which are apropos at this
time. The island was discovered by
Columbus oct. 2S. 1892. In honor of
Prince John, son OF Ferdinand and Isa-
bella of Spain. it was called Juana.
Later, its name was changed TO Fer
nandina, for Ferdinand, and this name
in turn gave way to Santiago, in COM
memoration Of SPANS patron saint
For some unknown reason the title
failed TO give satisfaction, and again
the appellation of the island was
changed. this time 20 Ave Maria. in
honor OF the holy virgin. Nevertheless,
the new possession had continued to be
known chiefly by the name Of Cuba.
which had been given it by the original
inhabitants. and Cuba it finally be-
came, formally and officially.
It is a fact not generally remembered
that Cuba did not remain in the pos
session Of Spain continuously from the
date Of its discovery until the war of
Intervention. Nearly a century and a
half ago, or. to be exact, in 1852, Ha-.
vana was captured by an English fleet
after a stubborn resistance, and the
island became the property Of England.
A year later, in 1853, It was Telin-
pushed by treaty. and since then, up
to the ratification of the treaty Of
Paris. Cuba was held by Spain.
The holding of it, however, was only
at the cost of much money and many
lives. Since 1929 instructions were in
progress with comparatively brief in
termissions. The most important were
the one that began in the year just
mentioned. another in 1874. one in 1S4S.
one in 1868 that continued to 1878. and
the last one, beginning Feb. "a, 1895.
In lS4S, during the administration Of
President Polk, an American agent was
authorized to offer Spain S1,OO0,OOO for
Cuba. The proposition was refused.
Ten years later the United States SEN
ate debated a resolution which provid-
ed for the purchase of Cuba for $780,
100000. This was defeated.
Cuba is 7SO miles long. has an aver
age width Of eighty miles and contains
/ A, $40 square miles.

After all, the tabernacle is the only
place to show off a band to advantage.
Mr.. Held and his forty instruments
gave their long-heralded festival in the
historic structure last night for the
benefit of the Liberty park summer
concerts. In every respect it was sue
cessful, the crowd being unusually
large and very liberal with its plaudits.
The band never played better and its
music never sounded so we'll as in the
Ereat auditorium. It's crashing cli-
makes were well sustained and. at
times, thrilling. Especially was this
true in the Lucia sextette and the
''Tannhauser" number. The pianissi
mo work was far less praiseworthy-
frequently coarse and irregular.
The soloists of the EVENING" not
able list-were received with great en-
thusiasm. Mrs. Rosemary GIosz Whit
ney rendered the aria, Weep Mine
Eyes" from lie Cid" bringing out ad-
mirably all the pathos of the divine
number. In response to an enthusi-
astic encore. she gave Denza's bril-
liant May Morning Miss Ferrin sang
an aria from Linda di Glamour" in
excellent voice, her clear, high notes
being especially well executed. Mr..
Goddard gave the Toreador song from
Carmen with customary vigor and
was thunderously encored. Mrs. Lizzie
Thomas Edward sang the 'Infiamatus"
giving it fine color.
Organist Mcclellan first played Wag-
ner's Dreams" and the "Mignon' ga
Vote. For his first encore he gave
The Old Oaken Bucket" with the
male quartette effect, and still not con-
tented, the audience forced him to one
of the thrilling operate marches. Mr..
Sims clarinet solo was a skilful
achievement.
The only criticism TO be offered was
the length of the programme. The band
closed with the William Telle" over
ture and during its rendition one-third
Of the audience marched out.
A good sum viii be realized from the
