BENEVOLENT AND MISCELLANEOUS SOCIETIES.

Woman's Refuge of Reform. - This institution was first opened in January, 1877, by a few benevolent Christian ladies of the city, who became impressed with the necessity of its establishment, in the course of their labors while connected with other charitable societies. It was designed for the reformation of fallen women, and to afford them a Refuge secure from their former associates, where they might form and mature good res- olutions, under the influence of the prayers and counsels of these noble women. In June, 1877. the Refuge was closed, and remained so until the 15th day of October fol- lowing, when it was opened with Mrs. McCoy as Matron. In April, 1878, the present organization was formed, and the society was incorporated under charter in the follow- ing year. The first Refuge was on Hale Street, where it remained for about two years, thenee removing to 613 N. Washington Street, and then in December, 1879, to its pres- ent location at 913, 4th Street. The ladies who are interested in it, make regular visits to the houses of prostitution in the city, and try to induce the girls to come to the Refuge. After a residence in it of a year, to permit the growth of good resolutions for the future, and to test the sincerity of their desires to reform, they are either returned to their friends, or good places are found for them in Christian homes. During their stay in the Refuge, they assist in their own support by sewing, ete. Since October 15, 1877. till now, upwards of 25 girls have been regularly admitted to the home and have stayed in it for considerable periods, and four or five others have stayed for short periods. on trial. Of this number, the ladies have good reason to believe, ten are doing well, and several girls who have experienced the beneficial influences of the Refuge, have since been married. The home has at present, two inmates, and can accommodate six. It is supported solely by charitable donations, and although much of the coal and almost all the provisions are thus contributed. it still takes almost 8500 a year in ensh to meet its requirements. The present officers of the Society are, president. Mrs. Wm. Weis: vice- presidents, Mrs. Fall and Mrs. Hallcomb ; secretary, Mrs. Wm. Reynolds; treasurer, Mrs. I. Benton ; Matron, Mrs. Chase. Regular meetings are held at the Refuge every second Wednesday afternoon.

Ladies' Hebrew Benevolent Society is the oldest Hebrew Benevolent Society in the city, and was organized about twenty-two years ago, by the Hebrew ladies of Peoria, for the care of their resident poor, and also of needy sojourners of their own faith who might. be temporarily resident in it. It was born of a strong feeling of sympathy for the suffer- ings entailed by poverty, and has been in active, helpful existence ever since. Mrs.

MILITARY ORGANIZATIONS.

Organization and History of the National Blues .- The citizens of Peoria for some time previous to 1856, had been impressed with the necessity of having among them one or more volunteer companies, who would be available in case their services should be re- quired in protecting property and aid in enforcing the laws. And in order to get an expression from those who were disposed to favor such an organization, a meeting was held on the 9th day of July, 1856, in Engine House No. 2, on North Adams Street, in said city, Andrew J. Hodges was appointed chairman and George S. Blakely, secretary. At that meeting the question was very fully discussed as to the necessity, and prospect of organizing a first-class volunteer company of infantry, and it was resolved that such a company be at once formed. A list of the names of those who were desirous of joining the organization was read. A committee was appointed to draft a constitution and by- laws composed of the following gentlemen : Charles E. Denison, Addison S. Norton, D. M. Cummings, William A. Thrush and John Bryner. A committee to solicit subscrip- tions from the citizens was appointed as follows : Casper W. Rees, George S. Blakely, D. M. Cummings, H. G. Anderson, and Geo. H. McIlvaine. Geo. H. Mellvaine was appointed treasurer, pro tem. Wm. A. Thrush, Jos. W. Ball and John C. Proctor, were appointed a committee to procure music, and A. S. Palmer, John Bryner and D. M. Cummings, were appointed a committee to procure a drill-room for the company.

On the 12th of July, 1856, another meeting was held at the same place at which a constitution and by-laws were presented by the committee and adopted, except as to the name and uniform of the company. C. E. Denison, E. B. Elwood and Wm. A. Thrush, were appointed a committee to report a suitable name for the company. L. G. Pratt, H. G. Anderson, C. E. Denison, John Bryner and A. S. Norton, were appointed to report a suitable uniform for the company.

At this meeting the commissioned officers were elected for one year, as follows :

Captain, Charles E. Denison.

First Lieutenant, John Bryner.

Second Lieutenant, John N. Cromwell.

Third Lieutenant, William A. Thrush.

Measures were also taken to procure arms and accoutrements, and a resolution was passed that the company adopt a temporary uniform, consisting of a black frock coat, white pants and a glazed or blue cap.

At a meeting held at the same place on the 16th of July, 1856, the committee on uniforms reported in favor of the regulation uniform of the United States Army, with such additions as might be deemed proper. The report was adopted.

The committee on company name reported the name of the " Central City Infantry," which was adopted. The constitution was then signed by those present.

At a meeting held at Armory Hall, third story over Scheadzlic store on Main Street, July 19, 1856, on motion of A. S. Palmer the vote of the company at the previous meeting adopting the name of " Central City Infantry," was re-considered. The name of "City Blues " was suggested by Mr. Palmer. Mr. Anderson moved to amend by in- serting "Governor's Guards." Mr. Bishop moved to amend by inserting " Bissell

Guards." Mr. Palmer suggested " Peoria Blues," and Mr. Morrell " Washington Blues," and the names being voted on separate. the motion to adopt in each ease was lost. Geo. S. Blakely suggested the name of " NATIONAL BLUES." which was adopted and ordered to be engrossed in the constitution.

Charles P. James was elected secretary and George H. Mellvaine was elected treasurer for one year.
