It was a great town of 900,000 people prior to June 30, when some of our suburbs voted to come in with their 300,000 people and enjey the city conveniences. Chicago now has 1,200,000 inhabitants and is working hard for the second place with Philadelphia as a vigorous competitor! In the great struggle the Colored man and brother is doing his share to in crease the population, and he is succeed ing nobly. No less than 30 babies have been born in Chicago since annexation, they came yelling and screaming into the world like amateur 4th of July cele brations, as if cognizant of tbe fact that they first sawlight in Chicago the second city of America, the wonder of the nine teeth century. While the cannon were booming, the fire-crackers popping in honor of the Nation's Birthday Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Bell of 2766 Dearborn btreet were made happy by the appearance of of a 13 pound boy. Friday July 5th, two Afro-Americans were ushered into this breathing world. One, an 11 pound girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. G. D. Willims 514 Larrabee street the other a 9 pound boy made happy the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Lewis 229 Duncan street. Saturday July 6, Mr. and Mrs. Felix Myers of Hanover street were delighted when a 15 pound boy came crowing into the woild. Sunday July 7th, was a memorable day for six babes of color were ushered into existence as follows. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Wright, 22 Campbell avenue, 12 pound boy.

On Monday July 8, when Mrs. Sam Lee of 2729 Dearborn street presented her husband with a ten pound girl, he was the happiest man in the block. On the same and at about the same time that Sullivan knocked out Kilrain, Mrs. R. D, Younger of 322 Clark street became the mother of a sixteen pound boy. His father is a great admirer of the manly art of self-defense so the boy will hear the name of John L. Sullivan Young. Mrs. Sam Lung, living at 519 Madison street is a Colored lady married to a Chinaman so we presume her baby boy born on Monday will be classed as a Colored. Tuesday Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Stewart of Englewood rejoiced with exceeding great joy when they gassed upon their first born. Wednesday July 10, five babies boun ced into life. Mr. aud Mrs. H. L. Pit man 1602 Dearborn St.,7 pound girl Mr. anp Mrs. R. J. Peterson 179 Randolph street, 9 pound boy. Mr. and Mrs. John Davis 278 Clark 7 pound boy. Mr. and G. H. Green 410 W. Monroe, 11 pound boy.
