Still other varieties produce well al

Sunday was a gala day, the Eighth
Illinois Regiment and the Colored eiti
zens-a day of history and progress
The daily press for some reasons best
known to themselves did not give il
much space in the columns of their
newspapers which are very largely sub.
seribed to by our people. They may
answer if they will, whyi
For many, many Tears our Colored
citizens, deep down in their hearts, have
cherished a longing desire to see this
eventful day and the time when this
gallant regiment would be housed in
decent and respectable Armory of
their own.
Worthy of the high regard and es-
TEEN paid to it by the expert testi-
mony of men of high military rank
and the position it occupies in the mill
tary annals of our times, they have
lived up to our expectations and have
successfully delivered the goods to our
most sanguine satisfaction. The strue-
ture speaks for itself-a living monu-
ment Of the ages.
The dedication of the armOry was
brilliant affair, a wonderful sight to be-
hold. But eonspieuously noted for the
absence of so many of our Representa-
tive men and women. am not able to
say upon whose shoulders the response
bility of so gross and error rests, but
this do know, that history will remain
silent as to the presence of a large
number that should have by invitation
graeed the platform upon such an oc-
casion as this, but were not to be seen
anywhere, not even in the mighty throng
which gathered there, five thousand
strong.
Up to the minute the parade started
at 1890 a. m. on time, north on Forest
Ave-, from 35th st. to 33rd, West on
33rd to State St., South on State st.
to 37th, East on 37th to Forest Ave,
and North on Forest Ave. to the
Armory, where it dispersed to hear the
rendition of the program and the lay
ing of the cornerstone by Governor Ed
ward F. Dunno. The sth regiment led
by Lieutenant Colonel James H. John
son and his staff and Major-General
Morris Lewis Of the Grand q. o. of
Odd Fellows Of America and the Fra

Following these was the famous sth

its conductor, Bin Berry, that organized
the waits upon the streets to gather
in large numbers leading the host with
precision from their military
airs. If this regiment felt a. they
looked and stepped to the music Of this

indeed, for theirs were the step of regu-

While everything to the very best so
far as the military representation of the
Negroes goes, was filed to the letter.
All of the speakers, from the governor
of the state down to the last speaker
on the program, paid distinguished
credit to the bravery and patriotism of
the Negro soldiers in all of the wars
from the commencement of this govern
ment to the present. The proceedings
and sayings pronounced at this laying
of the cornerstone of this armory will
