The National Negro Business League of which Booker T. Washington is President, will hold its 8th annual session in Topeka, Kansas, this year; the dates having been fixed for Aug. 14th, 15th and 16th. It is the first time in the history of the organization, that it has seen fit to hold a session so far west as Kansas. This League, as is generally known, is composed of many of the best, most influential and industrious men and women of the race, and we may say in a large measure, represents the wealth, business acumen and intelligence of the race. And when we say intelligence, we do not mean to confine the terms to literary attainments, but we mean that class of men and women who do things, who accomplish something for themselves, and are a living and practical example to the commercial and business world, that could well be emulated. Men and women of every livelihood are represented in the great concourse of industry that is soon to invade, for the first time, the broad and inviting plains of historic Kansas. What will the West do? To what M. I. Gordon of Ottumwa, Iowa. Church for the Des Moines District. In 1856, came with his parents to town school.

Is it not the most opportune moment to place ourselves favorable before those of the more distant parts, who are soon to become our guests? It will be a splendid opportunity for the North, South, East and West, to touch the cord of common brotherhood and for three days drink from the same fountain that will be filled with the lessons of economy, thrift and industry. There has never been a time in the history of this republic when there was a greater necessity for a common understanding; an understanding as to the best methods of making a life worth living. Of making a life, not only commendable to ourselves or one's own country, but to the world. The program for this session will be ripe with seed thoughts, thoughts which when once dropped, will take root and send forth a hundred fold. The benefits to be derived from this meeting, especially to the west, is incalculable. The opportunity will not, unless we begin at once to look, be seen until it is past. To the end, therefore, that we in west, especially, may be able to grasp and hold all the benefits that are to be derived from the meeting, it is urged that in each community, (city and country alike) that Leagues — Business men's Leagues be organized and delegates elected at once to attend this meeting, and all business men and women put forth every possible method to be in attendance and hear the program. The committee on transportation is assured of a rate of not over 1 1/2 fare for the round trip for the benefit of those who may avail themselves of the opportunity. Topeka most heartily extends to all, her warmest and best right hand. The necessary committees have been appointed and ample accommodations for all will be provided. A most hearty reception will be extended. Further information will be given by addressing Ira O. Guy, 1st. Vice President, National Negro Business League, at 311 West 14th street, Topeka, Kauasus. OBITUARY. Mr Peter Bass of Clive, Iowa, died at his home last Tuesday morning. He had been sick for a long time but seemed to be improving, when the end of a long and useful life came peaceful. He was born in Ohio 69 years ago, moved to Indiana, then to Illinois, then to Fayette county Iowa, and about 15 years ago to our county where he has lived on his farm. He owns some good valuable real estate and a home in Clive Iowa. His wife died only a few months ago; thus this happy couple had lived together for many years. He was highly esteemed by all who knew him as was testified by all his white neighbors who attended the funeral. Rev H. W. Porter preached the funeral. Mr. Bass was a member of the United Brethren church and was a good citizen and neighbor. He leaves three children, Chester, Miss Mabel and Mrs. John W. Jackson. Do Not Neglect the Children. At this season of the year the first unnatural looseness of a child's bowels should have immediate attention.

The lady let her ride before she was ready, and then on viewing the disreputable outfit fairly refused to accompany Mr. Nye. "Why," she exclaimed, sneeringly, "that horse may die of age any more!"

THE GIRL IN THE PICTURE It stood over the mannel in the oak-paneled dining-room, a portrait by Gainshores of a slender dark-eyed girl in a white satin gown, with a necklace of milk-white pearls about her softly rounded throat. She was pulling the petals from a red rose and mulling ruggishly out of the frame, the light from the window from the time I used to spend my schoolboy holidays at the manor until, as a young man I ran down to Kersey for week-ends, ostensibly to see my Aunt Elizabeth, in reality to spend most of the time before the great fireplace in the dining-room, blowing rings toward the ceiling and dreaming as I watched Marlene dropping the petals of her crimson rose. I am going to have a house party on the weekend, my wife, "and you must not fall me my dear Reginald. I shall refuse to take no for an answer." This was of the nature of a summons to Windsor castle, and I dared not disobey. Besides, I did not altogether object to a house party at Kersey manor in rose time. However, at the last minute I was delayed, and it was not until the evening of the 26th that I drove up the oak-lined avenue in the soft moonlight. My maut met me in the great hall. I was having a tableau in the music-room," she said. "Will you come soon as you have changed?" The light was turned low as I softly entered and stood unobserved in the back of the music-room. There was a hush over the audience as the curtain was drawn to reveal a lovely picture. My cousin, Jeanne, smiled winsomely out of the frame as the Countess Potocka in the famous portrait that is familiar to every one. The clapping of hands drowned the little murmur of admiration as the curtain was drawn over it. My cousin, Jeanne, smiled ordeal of keeping still to be looked at again, so the encoring died away and the low murmur of conversation was resumed. Suddenly the conversation ceased; the curtain was about to be drawn for the next picture, and I turned perforantly toward the little stage. I gave a great start and clasped the back of the chair in front of me. I could see the sheen of her white satin gown, the long necklace of pearls about her snow throat. It was Mariane, but a living, breathing Mariane. Suddenly the lights fared up, the buzz of conversation grew louder, everyone was talking at once about the tableaux. One or two old friends saw me and came to welcome me, so it was several minutes before I could make my way to my aunt. "Aunt Elizabeth," I demanded, present me, I beg, to the lady of Keseran manor. Where did you find her? Did she step down from the frame to day? How did it all happen? Even as I spoke Mariane came by, Mariane in her white satin gown, her shimmering pearls and the red velvet dress. "Marian," cried my aunt. "Stop a moment while I present your cousin, Bednald." I bowed low. I felt that I ought to have a plumed hat to sweep the floor before this lady of an olden time. "Why did you not come down from your frame before?" I asked. "I have waited for you for years, centuries, aeons, and I have been so lonely, though I knew you would come at last, Marianne, lady of Kersey manor." She smiled ravishingly and looked at my aunt questioningly. "He is our court jester," the latter replied with a smile. "But I am not jesting." I cried, with mock solemnity. "She is Mariane, Mariane of the portrait." I insisted. "Deny! if you dare." "Deny! is Mariane, my aunt acknowledged." But, Mariane, the greatest granddaughter of the lady of Kersey manor and your distant cousin. "Not at all." I begged to differ. "She is Mariane herself, Mariane who sat to Gainsborough, Mariane who pulled a red rose and fung the petals at her feet—you are, aren't you, Mariane?" Aunt Elizabeth smiled indulgently. "You must not, mind your cousin," she said. "He is harmless, but I am convinced he is quite mad." Then some young upstart bore off my Marianne for the cotillon. If I could not dance it with her I showed her with favors and danced with no one else. When she misleaviously brought me a jester's cap and bells in one figure, I put it on reluctantly. The next morning we walked in the garden together just as we used to do in the old days, and I gathered her roses. We flung bread crumbs to the trout that rose greedily to snatch them, and we pelleted the cross old peacock with flowers, and then we leaned on the sun-dial, and Marianea taper finger, traced the letters of the cross inscription just as I had learned of her doing. Her hair was dreaded riotously, bewitchingly about her face that was flushed like petals of a pink rose, as she bent over the letters. "Do you know, Marlene," I said, "that this is not the first time you and I have leased on this sundial. Sometimes it has been in the pale moonshine when the garden was turned to silver and the roses, dew-drenched, filled the air with their perfume, and sometimes we have been here in the wintime when the snow lay deep on the terraces and the quant bay trees and hedges were all carved from purest Parian marble. Always we have been here together, and always we will lean together on this old dial watching the sunny hours go by; Marlene, lady of Kersey manor." She blushed ravishingly, "But I am not Mariane, lady of Kersey manor, stuild," she pouted. "You are in deed mad, madder than the maddest March hare." "You may say you are not, but you are going to be," I said emphatically. "You have got to be. I have been in love with Marianne, lady of Kersey manor, since I went to Rugby, a little chap in kuckerbusters and an in love with you and two things inquiring the same thing equa each." "Not at all," she said. "It only proves you are a fickle creature. Fancy a change of heart to admire my great-great-aunt one minute and the next to tell a girl whom you have known only 15 hours that you care for her. How could I ever trust you, Cousin Reggie." "As I said before you interrupted me I went on tranquilly. I love Marianne lady of Kersey manor, and I love you and two things equaling the same—" "Ah, you are getting too mathematical for me," she said, and ran swift We Leaned on the Sun-Dial. ly away down the garden path and I after her. And then began days of uncertainty. Marianne teased me and tormented me and avoided me, choosing any little insignificant creature that was nearest her when I approached. But I was not discouraged. I loved her too long not to feel that some day I must win out. By great luck one day I found her alone in the library and boldly walked in. "I want to speak to you about a little matter of business, if you will deign to listen," I said, stiffly to her back, as she sat at the desk writing. "Oh, business," she said, coldly, though her lips trembled a bit at the corners of her mouth as she smiled through. "Well, be quick about it. I am immensely busy." A frown puckered her delicately pencilled brows as she leaned her head on her hand to listen. "It's about the succession and the property," I said, sitting down comfortably in the low chair beside her. "Is this stricty business?" she asked suspiciously. "Strictly," I answered. "It is very important. You see I am a munt's heir and some day Kersey manor will belong to me, and do you know it doesn't seem to me quite fair. You have always been the Lady Mariane of the man, and you know I feel as though I were doing you out of it. "Oh, not at all," said Mariane politely, half turning back to her letter, as though she wished me to hasten. "I have no claim in any way, you know." "Well," I said, reflectively, "somehow I feel that it's not fair and I have a proposition to make. I want you to keep on being the lady of Kersey manor." "Oh, no, March hare," she said. "That would be doing you out of it. No, thanks very much, but I should present from you." She laughed. "What does Mme. Grundy say? A young lady should never accept any gift from a young man, except books, flowers and bonbons, unless—" She stopped suddenly and blushed adorably up to the little curls on her forehead and down to the collar of her frock. "Unless what?" I demanded, but she laughed and blushed still more. "Unless?" "Oh, never mind," she said. "I know," I cried triumphantly. "Haven't I studied Mine. Grundy's rules of etiquette? Unless that are engaged in married. Isn't that it, for word, Marianne? That's the only way out of it," I said. "Come, Marianne, sweet. I said. I have never loved anyone else but you. I have been faithful to my dream Marianne for so long and I waited for you, oh, ages and ages. Pray keep on being the lady of Kersey." The pink stole up into her face again, her eyes were soft and winsome as she held out both hands to me in sweet surrender. "Well, I suppose I shall have to, March hare," she said, "since you insist upon it." Hatching chickens by artificial means is almost as old as history. The art was known before the dawn of the Christian era, and has been practiced continuously in Egypt, China and other oriental countries down to the present day.

In 1885 there was a great celebration in London in honor of Dr. Samuel Johnson, and among these in attendance was the Australian "attack" cricketer, Bonner, then at the height of his fame. As one of the guests, says the compiler of the recently published "Lettera" of the late Dr. George Birkbeck Hill, Bonner's health was proposed. His response was noteworthy. "After seeing the way in which Dr. Johnson's memory is revered," he said, with great simplicity, "I am not sure that I would not rather have been such a man than have gained my own greatest triumphs in cricket."—Youth's Companion. SORES AS BIG AS PENNIES. Whole Head and Neck Covered—Hair All Came Out—Cured in Three Weeks by Cuticura. "After having the measles my whole head and neck were covered with scaly sores about as large as a penny. They were just as thick as they could be. My hair all came out. I let the trouble run along, taking the doctor's blood remedies and rubbing on salve, but it did not seem to get any better. It stayed on my face for a week in a set of the Cuticura Remedies, and in about a week I noticed a big difference, and in three weeks it was well entirely and I have not had the trouble any more, and as this was seven years ago, I consider myself cured.

Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. The Disadvantages of Schools.

Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starchs put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day.

Prejudice and Opposition Are Bringing Black Men Together in Various Enterprises. Dr. William Beckham, field secretary of the National Baptist convention, delivered an address at Corinthian Baptist church on the "Achievements of the American Negro." Dr. Beckham is a fluent speaker. He has been successful in life and loaned the first money which made possible the existence of the Negro Baptist Publishing House, which, after an existence of ten years, is giving $150,000 worth of business a year, not only printing Sunday school supplies, but bumn books, Bibles, books by authors, and is now making organs and church furniture. Dr. Beckham is very enthusiastic over the progress of his race. He said in part: For more than a decade the negro question seems to have given this country a point of view. I believe if he is looked at from an unbiased standpoint, his past and this country will make one form a better opinion of him. However, I believe opinions are formed largely from the reading of books, especially the delight in presenting the worst side of the negro to the general public. We act well as their defects, they have their good traits. A great number of the schools in the country are largely paid by the southern white man. And if forty years of schooling has not done much to elevate him then the fact in the case is the progress of the race in the last forty years is phenomenal. In some sensual investigation, such as I have been able to make, will show. We shall not attempt to give all the figures, but just a general indicate some phases of his achievements. Many Are Farmers. About one million negroes are farmers; more than 180,000 of them own their own farms (paid for). Their farms range from about 10,000 to more than 180,000 who own their own homes in the cities. In North Carolina we have silk mills; in Florida we have sugar mills and rice mills that are doing the same work as those of the white people. In Florida we have a street publishing houses; namely, the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, Nashville, Tenn.; the C. M. E. Publishing House, Jackson, House, Charlotte, N. C.; the National Baptist Publishing House, Nashville, all negroes as mecanics, doing every kind of work common to publishers. The last named house is one of the largest of the first named houses put together. There is no class of printing, binding, or copying done by the country; the country is not done by this house. And In this building alone, saying more than 200 hands are employed daily. The negroes of the country pay taxes on more than a billion dollars' worth of goods and services. He has paid more than twenty million dollars for his own education. This includes books, books and board, for he have spent both time and money for buildings, grounds and equipment. They Are Prosperous. Prejudice and oppression are bringing the negros together and making them go into business and support each other in the fight against the oppressors, stopping the numerical growth of the race, for six thousand black babies are born in this country every year. In 1980, the United States proved ourselves men, the equals of any other any where. Every Man His Own Doctor The average man cannot afford to employ a physician for every slight ailment or injury that may occur in his family, nor can he afford to neglect them, as so slight an injury as the scratch of a pin has been known to cause the loss of a limb. Hence every must from necessity be his own doctor for this class of ailments. Success often depends upon prompt treatment which can only be had when suitable medicines are kept at hand. Chamberlain's Remedies have been in the market for many years and enjoy a good reputation. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for bowel complaints.
