BIRTHpAY OF ILLINOIS.
Was Admitted to Union 81 Years
Ago.

Chicago, Dec. 3-Today is the
ninety-first birthday of the State of
Illinois. 1t was on Dec. 3, 1918, that
President Monroe signed the paper
which admitted this State into the
Union Chicago was then but a
group of huts huddled around Fort
Dearborn, and it was not until
nearly a score of years later that the
real city had its beginning. When
Illinois was admitted, it had large
Indian population, and for many
years it remained the frontier state
marking the Western boundary OF
civnlZation.
The first election of state officers
under the new constitution was held
September II, 1918, upon the as
surance from Washington that the
constitution formulated would be ap-
proved by the president, and Shad-
raeh Bond was elected the first gov
ernor The First General Assembly
met at Kaskaskia, which was the
first capital, October 8, 1913. and
Governor-elect Bond was inaugural

If Congressman Gamers bill to
abolish the negro regiments of the
army succeeds in coming out of the
hands of the inevitable committee
alive, it may stand a good show
of passing. The many deprepations
that have been committed by the
various negro regiments during a
long period, dating from the raiding
of Fort Sturgis by negroes of the
18th Infantry in 1885, must con-
vince even the most ardent lover
of the race that, while the negro
may make a good fighting machine
in time of war, he is d very undesi-
rable part of the army in time of
peace. The record shows the negro
soldiers of the present day to be a
-menace to any place near which they
may be stationed.

New York, Dec. "a public
hearing was held today by the Board
of Estimate on the amended plan
for conveying the CatskiII water sup
ply through the city. It is proposed
to build a tunnel fourteen feet in
diameter nearly the entire length of
Manhattan Island, with a branch
tunnel under the East River to
Brooklyn and Queens The length
of the tunnel will be about thirty
three miles, which is five miles
shorter than the system originally
planned
1t will be necessary to bore
through solid rock for nearly the
entire distance at a depth of from
fifty to six hundred feet and with
out disturbing street traffic
1t is proposed to run a tunnel
across the Harlem River on bridge,
near High Bridge, and then south
under the centre of Manhattan. The
system is arranged to give greater
pressure than the original plan pro
vided in addition to serving every
borough in the city. The cost will
not be materially greater than the
first plan, which provided for pipe
conduit system through the Bronx,
Queens and Brooklyn to staten IS

~ railroad track about a half a
mile north of Olmito this morning,
a wee little girl not more than three
wears old, was run over by the south
bound tri-weekly express and killed.
The poor little victim was the
daughter of Mrs. Serena LeaI, who
lives on the Resaca ViejO, a short
distance north of OlmitO. The moth
er and some other women, at the
time of the accident, were washing
clothes on the bank of the resaca,
west of the railroad The child,
which had been playing nearby all
the morning, strayed off alone and

The train came tearing along a
little faster than usual. for it was
then about ten minutes behind time,
due TO a stop at Harrington for re-
pairs to a leaky pipe. Engineer
Bennett. who was at the throttle,
saws that he saw something white
flprtering at the edge of the track
on the fireman's side when about
$50 feet away. On the side OF the
rails there. the grass and weeds are
a couple of feet high and the en-

who was evidently too frightened TO

The entire train had passed over the
child, cutting the left lee off just
below the thigh and the right near
the knee.
Before any of the crew or pas
sengers could reach the scene. the
frantic. wild eyed mother had pick

picked up but was dead before the

A sale just consummated at San
Benito OF more than passing i'm
portance is that of the San Benito
Nursery to H. G. StilIwel. Mr..
Stillwen was one of the company
and has simply bought the inter
ests of his partners, remaining sole
owner of the property, which in
cludes 100 acres, a short distance
from the town of San Benito, and
known as the San BenitO nursery.
The land is all planted. Groves Of
bananas, now bearing, oranges,
grapes and date palms, besides 9th
er smaller fruits, cover its rich
acres. Ten thousand Sahara date
palms, produced from seed obtained
through the United States agricUl-
tural department, constitute the
date grove. The trees are already
four feet high, and promise to make
one of the most magnificent date
groves in America The vineyards,
though only of two to three years
growth, have already borne abund-
ant crops OF magnificent fruits. The
banana groves include thousands OF
imported plants, all thriving luxu-
riantly.
A significant feature of this trans
action is the fact that the purcha-
ser is not only a practical nursery
man, but that he has already had
seven years experience and has been
operating the nursery which he has
bought for the past two years He
evidently knew what he was about,
and the fact that his experience
here has given him such confidence
as to encourage him to make an in
vestment of this kind speaks well
indeed for the country. II also in
dicates that, in addition to being
the finest sugar country in the world,
the Lower Rio Grande Valley offers
even better inducements for fruit
culture, which will pay even more
than sugar
