Resolutions.

By the Illinois Colored Hstor.
ical Society for a favorable de
cision in the Alton School Case.
Whereas, After many years of
litigation growing out of the sep
aration of the white and colored
pupils in the public schools of
Alton, ILL.,, which was objected to
by Scott Bibb, worthy and hon.
orable colored citizen of Alton,
who secured the able legal assis-
tance of the Senator John M. Pal
mer, who in behalf of Mr.. BIB
began proceedings to compel the
authorities to admit colored pu-
pills to the schools in their res
pective neighborhoods on the
same footing as the white pupils
General Palmer appeared for
Mr.. Bibb.
TIE Supreme Court of the
state decided in his favor, and
the case was sent back. Five
jurors found against Bibb and
two failed to agree.
Time after time for many years
the Supreme Court gave judg
ment for Scott Blob, which was
each time ignored by the lower
court at Alton. Last Monday
for the first time in the history of
the case, the Supreme Court took
the case from the lower court
where it originated and gave it
the full measure of equal and
exact justice.
The Alton authorities were
told that there could be no sep.
aration of colored and white chill
dren in the public schools. and
the law must be Obeyed. A writ
of mandamus was issued to COM
pei the enforcement of the law
Therefore. Resolved, That the
thanks or the colored people, and
all others who love justice in a
free country, are hereby tender
ed the honorable Supreme Court
Of our great state for giving us
the long prayed for measure of
relief from the enforced separa
ton of colored children from the
rights and benefits of the free
public schools of Alton.
Resolved, that'memory of that
great commoner and friend to
humanity, righteousness and JUS
tlce to all mankind, without dis
tinctlon of race or color, the late
Hon. John NJ. Palmer Shall be
held in perpetual memory as the
righteous advocate Of the rights
of all men, whether white or
btack, under the law and consti-
tutions of our State and country.
Res olved. That our thanks are
hereby rendered the Honorable
state senator, John j. Breholt,
who inherited the now famous
Alton school case from Hon. Jno
NJ. Palmer (who died while the
case was in court. for his faith
full and unwearled contention for
the right until the victory was
won and great wrong made

state.
Resolved, That we commend

keeping up the fight for an open
door to the black children of

INSECTS BITE FATAL.
Boy of 10 Dies After Nine Days of
Suffering.

New York, Aug. 4.-william Benz,
16 years old, died in the Harlem hos
pital last evening and the surgeons,
although somewhat reticent about the
case, admit that the boy died from
the effects of bite of mysterious
insect.
Young Bienz, according to the hos
pital doctors, was bitten on the upper
lip nine days ago but what sort of an
insect was responsible the physicians
have not discovered. A day or two
after the youth was bitten his lip
commenced to swell and finally it as
sumed alarming proportions. Sunday
young Bienz grew rapidly worse and
towards night lapsed into uncon-
seriousness. He was then removed to
the hospital.
An incision was made in Young
Bienz's lip for the purpose of reliev-
ing the pressure of the pus formation.
The swelling, however. continued un-
abated and the youth remained in a
semi-conscious state until he died.
About nine days ago the city was
visited by swarms of mosquitoes and
several of the doctors thought that
the bite on Young Bienz's lip might
have been caused by one Of them.
The case is one for the investiga-
ton Of the coroner's ONCE.

popular with the dressmakers; and no
wonder. for they lend themselves so
admirably to either the draped skirts,
which are the latest fashion, or to the
princess and empire styles, which, in
sporting vernacular, are "going strong
er than ever" Indeed, certain houses
in Paris seem to have nailed their
colors to the mast; and, in spite of the
fact that the empire designs were al
ready ruling the roost two years ago,
they are making nothing else this year
for afternoon and evening wear. If
anything, they are more intensely en-
pire than ever. and the long clinging
skirt, which, catching on the wearer's
instep as she walks, draws the skirt
tight and reveals the whole outline Of
her limbs, with the little bolero jacket
covered with braiding and fringe,
might have been taken direct from a
fashion plate of the period.
