C MISS ANNA H, WARNER AS ONE OF THE GIRLS ACCOMPLISHING SOMETHING. This paper wishes to call the public attention to Anna H. Warner who has done a few things of which she may feel justly proud. Miss Warner was born in Troy Illinois and educated in the schools of that place. She then attended the musical institution of St. Louis. Coming to Kansas City at an appreciative age, she studied with Prof. Lee learning his entire course. Going to Fisk University she made a splendid record entering the 5th grade of music from the start being the second girl to get so high a rating. She finished her technic and harmony, and she almost finished the recital course, but had to quit school for unavoidable circumstances. Miss Warner has a natural ability for music. Believing she might help the younger class of girls and also more unfortunate who have not had an opportunity to learn music. Miss Warner opened up a studio at 18th and Paseo, where she is prepared to give the public the benefit of her training. Miss Warner uses the unique methods of Herman Bach and Leschetizky. Dear Editor:—Sir, will you kindly allow me sufficient space in your honorable paper to insert the following: THE ONLY REMEDY FOR JIM CROWISM AND LYNCH LAWS. Having noticed in the K. C. Times of June 11 inst. of the address of Rev. Bishop Grant along the lines of the St. Louis Jim Crow car laws, I would to God and also pray that Bishop Grant and all others concerned continually beg and urge and try to persuade the members of their various congregations to use the following words in their prayers that God may remember the oppressed and the law-makers of oppressions upon the strangers that dwelleth among them and that God may drive these laws from our land and country. Please note the following scriptures on the same: God said one law shall be to him that is home-born and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you—Exodus 12—49. Thou shalt neither vex a stranger no oppress him, for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Ye shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child. If thou afflict them in any wise and they cry at all unto me I will surely hear their cry and my wrath shall wax hot and I will kill you with the sword and your wives shall be widows and your children fatherless. Now what more is needed than crying unto him.—Exodus 22: 21 to 24. --- which are quite different from the other teachers. During the two years at home she has still continued to study. Those desiring to give their children musical instruction should certainly see her and read her announcement placard in the advertising part of the paper. One of her peculiar ways of teaching is to arouse the interest of pupils by giving them also the literary side of the music as well as the technical and harmonious. Miss Warner has a very well equipped and up-to-date musical studio. She is trying to open up opportunities for the younger generation. All the latest musical books can be seen; various modern musical instruments. All the best authorities on the criticisms and points on music. Miss Warner also takes a natural fancy to the instruction of girls, imparting to them her own personality which is of a very strong and high nature. The public at large should appreciate and encourage such strong determination on the part of our Kansas City girls who are branching out in noble occupations, and should especially give Miss Warner's studio a visit.

BOOKER'S Successful Administration AS PASTOR OF THE PLEASANT GREEN BAPTIST CHURCH. WILL DEDICATE NEW FOUNDATION IN A FEW WEEKS, AND LATER TO COMPLETE NEW CHURCH WORTH $25,000. The Pleasant Green Baptist Church of this city is an organization about 30 years old. The first pastor of this church was Rev. John Morgan, of Kentucky. He was an able defender of the Gospel and of strong moral character. He succeeded in buying the property in rear of Independence and Tracy avenues, and building the frame house where the Church is at prescat. After Rev. Morgan's death the next preacher who became the pastor of the Church was Rev. Alford, of Kansas. After a stay of about two years Rev. Alford was succeeded by Rev. E. M. Wilson, of Kentucky, who was the most intellectual pastor the church has ever had. He was an able defender of the church and a pulpit orator. These two preachers, Rev. Alford and Rev. Wilson, were both overcome by the same weakness. Rev. G. W. Burdett was the next pastor who resigned of his own accord. Next to come to take the leadership of the church is the Rev. J. M. Booker, of Memphis, Tenn., who was the pastor of Salem Baptist church, the second largest Baptist church in Memphis. He desired to change his field of labor, so he resigned to come to Kansas City. Rev. Booker was born in Virginia in 1863, and in 1869 his father took him to Mississippi, where he received a common school education. On becoming a young man, 23 years old he was converted in June, 1886, at Memphis. Two years later he was licensed to preach, and on Sept. 13th, 1891, he was ordained, after which he pastored successfully for 5 years the Salem Baptist Church in Memphis. Rev. Booker attended the Theological department of Howe Institute for about 9 years. He built the Mount Zion Baptist Church during his time in Memphis. As a financier and church builder his ability can not be doubted. When he came to take charge of the Pleasant Green Church one year ago, it was in a critical condition. During this one year he has raised nearly $3,000 and paid all indebtedness of the church, and built the foundation for the new church on the east side of Trace avenue, near Independence avenue. The Pleasant Green Church is in splendid condition now. It owns two good pieces of property, and values all of its holdings at $10,000. Rev. Booker will build a handsome Auditorium on the new foundation in the next five years, worth from $10,000 to $15,000, thus making the new church worth about $25,000. The people of this city who admire a clean, Christian gentleman, a man of principle and integrity, should give Rev. Booker their support and help him to do a great work for God and humanity. He is one man who will not condole immoral crime, or shield dirty men who are preaching the gospel. He is deserving of the aid and confidence of the people. EXPOSITION NOTES. The address by Dr. Booker T. Washington on August 3rd promises to be a "red letter day" in the history of the exposition. The Hampton Institute students will give a special drill exhibition on the parade ground of the exposition and the Hampton Band will furnish music for the parade, which will lead from the parade ground to the negro building, where the speech will be delivered. The Fisk jubilee Singers are preparing a special program of music and there are other events that will make this one of the great days of the exposition. Melissa Fuel of Joplin, Mo., a teacher in public schools of that place and a graduate of Lincoln Institute is in the city visiting Miss Emma Smith of 915 Woodland. July 19, 1907. To The Editor of The Rising Son: To The Editor of The Rising Son:— Through your newspaper, I beg to call to the attention of our people the fact that December 17, 1907, will be the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of John Greenleaf Waittier. I need not remind the Negro people of the unselfish labors rendered by this great individual to the cause of freedom and for the perpetuation of the Union. Our race owes him a debt of gratitude which it will be difficult for us to repay. It seems to me that it would be very fitting if we should begin now to make preparations to celebrate this anniversary in a beffitting manner. Such a celebration should be arranged for in schools, churches, by literary organizations and various other organized bodies. I am just in receipt of a letter from friends of the poet living in Amesbury, Mass., his old home, advising of plans now being perfected for the celebration of this great event in Amesbury. I trust that our people everywhere will let the world know through a proper celebration of the event how much they honor the memory of the sainted Whittier. Yours faithfully. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. BRILLIANT RECEPTION TO DR. B. F. ALLEN AND HIS BRIDE, AT LINCOLN INSTITUE. President B. F. Allen. A brilliant reception was tendered Dr. B. F. Allen and his beautiful bride Mrs. Mayme Lee Williams Allen at Lincoln Institute on the evening of the 16th inst. by the summer school faculty, students and prominent citizens of Jefferson City. Dr. Allen was married June 26 to Miss Williams of Macon, Georgia. The former as the scholarly president of Lincoln Institute is too well known throughout the country for his worth and attainments to need further comment at this time; and Mrs. Allen represents one of the most highly respected and well-to-do families of that beautiful Southern city, Macon, Georgia. She was for several years a member of the faculty of the High school at Chattanooga, Tennessee, and more recently has held the chair of mathematics in the Fort Valley high and industrial school, Georgia. To return to the reception—the ladies were beautifully attired, the brides' dress being a costly gown of white crepe de chine, princess style, trimmings of white rose point lace and sequins. A delicious menu of viands particularly well suited to the unusually warm weather was served in the spacious and beautifully decorated dining hall of Lincoln Institute. The tables were arranged in the form of a capital letter A, Dr. and Mrs. Allen occupying the seats of honor. Covers were laid for 50 guests. Prominent among these were Mr. and Mrs. Al Thomas, Mr and Mrs. Virgil Franklin Mesdames Goins, King, Harrison, Henderson, Sexton, Jackson, Professor J. S, Moten and wife, Professor G. S, Murray and wife, Professor Josephine M. Beauty Contest Coupon as the most beautiful lady of Kansas City. BLIND BOONE CONCERT CO. Five Successful Years for Kansas City's Prima Donna, Miss Emma Smith. The people are very much pleased to learn of the return of the Blind Boone Concert Co. They are especially glad to know of the success of Miss Emma Smith, one of Kansas City's home products. The company has had a long concert tour traveling through the states of Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Wyoming, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri; always playing to a full audience. Miss Emma Smith, a graduate of Kansas City, has certainly made good in the line in which she chose for her life's work. She has traveled with the company for five successful years, and each year she has become stronger with the public at large. Miss Smith is a natural singer, having had a good voice all her life. When in school, she was easily classed as the best singer in school. The young lady has simply shown what the young girls in the city can do; she has by her success lent encouragement to other girls. The public possibly wishes to know what the young lady has done with her earn S Yates, Professor J. W.

T. Evans both of Kansas City. The various courses of dainty viands, well suited to the unusually warm weather, were interspersed with the musical and literary numbers of a well rendered programme, over which Professor Moten presided as toast master. The musical numbers, highly enjoyable, were given by Misses King, Williams, Mesdames Thomas, Jackson and Mr. Jacobs.

This is the main desire the true ibgbygl you desire the true insight into an individual, follow them to their home. If you follow her to the hearth side you will find her a loving and affectionate daughter, beloved by all her relatives. Kansas City should be greatly proud of the record she has made. Miss Smith is an honor to Kansas City; and every person should appreciate her musical ability of which she possesses in a very high degree. JOHN LANG. Mr. John Lang, the manager of the Blind Boone Concert Co., has had 26 years with the company. Just last year he contributed over $300 to charity and he is ever ready to assist a young man on his way to the successful road. As the public would, we know, like to read of a few accomplishments of this remarkable man at some later edition we shall endeavor to give it. The company will leave in September. otherwise in character were made by Messrs. Franklin, Jacobs, Perry, Professor Yates, Murray and Daniel. The sentiment contained in each of these was entirely appropriate to the occasion, full of best wishes and highest hopes for the present and future happiness of the newly wedded pair. At the close of the programme Dr. and Mrs. Allen thanked their guests for the pleasures of the evening and assured their many friends of the very high appreciation they sustained for them in words which beautifully expressed the thought. The presents received both in Macon and Jefferson City were numerous and costly and are still coming. Miss Ora Carter of Lawrence, Kan., spent a delightful week visiting her friends, Mrs. Dwings, Mrs. L. F. Bradley and others. She will go to Lawrence Sunday. test Coupon eautiful lady of THE CHURCH AT WORK He is Rev. Thomas Lord, of England, Aged 100. Rev. Thomas Lord, of England, has just entered upon his one hundredth year, and he is probably the oldest minister in the world who is still in active service. This veteran of the pulpit retired from the ministry nearly 30 years ago; but frequently preaches in chapels in the district where REV. THOMAS LORD he resides, besides taking part in temperance meetings, in which work he has been an enthusiast nearly all his life. When asked to explain the secret of his long life, Mr. Lord instantly re- plied that there was no secret in it: "It is the duty of every Christian," he said, "to use his own common sense and to be moderate in all things. By doing that, I have lived to be over 99." While abstaining from intoxicating liquors, Mr. Lord has also abstained from using tobacco. On one occasion, an old lady advised him to take to smoking, saying that a minister could think better with a pipe in his mouth. The reply was characteristic of the man: "No." he answered, "if that is where thought comes from, I would rather not think at all." The venerable minister, says Christian Herald, takes his turn with other pastors in conducting services at the Hornecastle workhouse on every Wednesday, and not long ago he was engaged in preparing a new lecture on temperance. He is a living example of how a man, by hard work and careful living, can be preserved to a ripe old age. REVIVAL IN KOREA. Remarkable Religious Awakening at Pyeng-Yang. One of the most remarkable evidences of divine power has swept over the city of Pyeng Yang. This is the result of the united prayers of the missionary forces in that city. After a short sermon one Sunday morning, in which the appeal was made to people to confess their sins and surrender themselves unreservedly to God, the people were asked to make confession. Immediately a young man prominent in church work, with tears and groans, made confessions of a sinful life. When he had finished speaking, he flung himself on the floor in great agony, and sought for mercy. The scene that followed was indescribable. Men were stricken to the floor as if hurled there by a thunderbolt. They writhed upon the floor and cried for mercy in great remorse. So remarkable has been this revival wave, that during the last year one of the churches has increased its membership by 10,000, and a revival equal to the notable revival in Wales seems to be progressing in most parts of the country. After a Century. As the result of 100 years of missionary work in China, there are about a hundred and fifty thousand native Protestant Christians in the empire. The anniversary of the beginning of the work was celebrated recently in Shanghai, when Europeans and Americans interested in Protestant missions attended in large numbers. It was in 1807 that Robert Morrison, appointed by a British missionary society, and carried to China by an American firm engaged in the eastern trade, began his labors. After 35 years there were six converts and 20 missionaries. There are now nearly 4,000 missionaries, and the number of native Christians is doubling every seven years, says Youth's Companion. The Roman Catholics have had missions in the empire several hundred years, and count a million adherents and 25 bishops. Revival at Aberdeen. Five hundred and thirty-one persons declared themselves for Christ in the revival services at the Auditorium at Aberdeen, S. D., after continuing four weeks. All day services were held, also a day of fasting and prayer, and many business houses were closed for the meetings, which were conducted by Evangelist R. E. Johnson, of the Moody Institute, Chicago. Pleads Cause of Boer Women. Countess d'Ashnoll writes from Geneva, Switzerland: "Miss Hobhouse added from South Africa for England at the same time as Gen. Botha, to glad the cause of the Boer women, Gen. Botha, now premier of the Transvaal, writes gratefully thanking all who have added the Hobhouse home industries." Finest Methodist Church The new Powler church in Minneapolis, Minn., will be one of the finest churches architecturally in Methodism, and nothing will be spared to make its decorations and finish on a par with its architecture. AS SEEN BY ENGLISHWOMAN. Rhapsody on American Scenery Astonished Mrs. Jonathan. "When you have seen the Golden Gate you will wonder at the difference between Turkey and California. But keep moving"—poor Mrs. Jonathan was getting awfully tired"—and go north now past Shasta, and Hood, and Ranier, and their lesser satellites of snowy peaks, to Seattle, a city sitting on more hills than Rome ever knew, and take a steamer for the inside passage to Skagway. There you will find a new land of the Midnight Sun, with flords no less grand and gloomy; or turn from the shadows to the sunlight and stop in southern California. You have seen the Riviera? Yes?" Mrs. John didn't give Mrs. Jonathan time to even nod an affirmation, but was going again. "You will see a fresher and finer one there. And you will hear the old, old mission bells ringing in the old, such flowers, such scenery, such fruits, such sunshine, such—but pardon me, I promised not to rhapsodize, didn't I? Turn eastward now, going through the Mojave desert, stopping before the awful magnificence of the Grand canyon I told you of, and to see the petrified forest, as a reminder of ruins older than Baalbec and Babylon. At New Orleans, a little southern Paris, take a steamer up the Mississippi—though down it is quicker—for a thousand miles through the land of cotton and the cane, thence into the Ohio, and for another thousand sail through a picturesque valley to Pittsburgh, where the iron works and money make Titian and Vulcan and Tubal Caln look like 30 cents, as you Americans say. Then there are the coal fields of Pennsylvania; the gold fields of the far west; the great plains that seem to have no end; cities that have risen in a night to wealth and power; colleges whose buildings are sermons in stone; men and women who in science and art and literature—" Mrs. Jonathan took a long, long breath. "Good gracious!" she exclaimed. "I'd be dead before I had done all that."—Outing. Gray Horsea in Maine. After a disquisition on the value of gray horses, as compared with horses of other colors, the Parkhurst writer sagely notes: "You may change a farmer's religion or politics, make him think he is rich and handsome, cox his wife to run away with you, or sell him a dog, but you will never make him think a gray horse is not a jewel. I read somewhere recently that gray horses were not up to the standard, or words to that effect. I never was so astonished in my life. I have always thought, and do now, that gray or white horses were the handsomest, toughest breeds on the planet. "The celebrated Arabian horses are white or dapple gray. Famous generals in all wars have ridden white or iron gray chargers. Circus men select gray horses to draw the band wagons in street parades. A great packing company always selects Percheron horses, not so much for the color, but because their feet will stand traveling on the pavements better than any draft breed. It is said that Joan of Arc rode a milk white horse, and St. John, the revelator, saw a white horse in heaven (Rev. 6: 2). Half of the draft horses in Aroostook are white or gray, and another decade will see 90 per cent. of them of that color."—Lewiston (Me.) Journal. Buys a Motor Car as He Buys a Hat. Buys a Motor Car as He Buys a Hat. It's nice to be able to buy an automobile as you would a hat. Some people will tell you that it is impossible, that there are none ready for immediate delivery. Yet according to first rate authority an American in Paris walked into an agency and looked about him with the following result, "That's a well-appearing Mercedes, 45-horse power?" "Yes, sir." "What's the price?" "Accept my check for it?" "Yes, sir." "Sure it's a real good Mercedes?" "None better." "Very well. I'll take it. I'll make out the check now." Faithful to the End.

After the commandments had been given by God through Moses and the covenant assented to by the people, Moses again went up into the mount to obtain the commandments in more permanent form, written on tablets of stone, and to receive further instructions; and also to be prepared by his intimate communion with God for his long and difficult work of forming the people into a nation that could dwell in the promised land. Every quality of mind and of spirit was to be taxed to the utmost. Every minister, every teacher, every believer needs, says Joseph Parker, "periods of solitude and communing with God; away from the fray, the battle, the race, but receiving nourishment, nutriment, inspiration, comfort, and even words by which to express the divine thought. And, coming back from the mountain of contemplation, he touches life with a steadier hand, and does his duty with a completer obedience and more radiant cheerfulness." V. 1. "Saw that Moses delayed." He was gone 40 days (Ex. 25:18), almost seven weeks, if the week with the leaders in the lower parts of the mountain is to be added (Ex. 24:9.16). The absence of Moses was a time of testing both the leaders and the people. They had just taken the oath of allegiance to God, and unanimously promised to obey him. V. 1. "Up, make us gods," or a god, "which shall go before us," and be our leader. They could not see God, and they wanted some visible expression of God. They had several manifestations of God—the pillar of cloud and fire, the glory on the mountain, and the daily manna; but even these became so common that they did not make them realize the presence of God. They had just come from the land of idols, heathen gods everywhere. All these gods could be seen The attractions of idolatry were of no mean power. They were familiar with the way in which the idols of the heathen were worshiped, with feasting and rioting and unrestrained licentiousness, in marked contrast with the purity and self-control required by Jehovah. V. 5. "And when Aaron saw it (this)." Saw in what light the people viewed the image. "He built an altar before it . . . and said, to-morrow is a feast to the Lord." God was still to be worshiped, but under the form of a calf. Probably Aaron thought he was shrewd in thus saving for God what he could of honor and reverence. So Jehovah boasted of his zeal for the Lord of hosts while he was worshiping the golden calves of Jeroboam (2 Kings 10:16, 29). V. 7. "The Lord said unto Moses, Go, get thee down." Moses in the thick cloud which covered the top of Sinai could not see or hear what was going on below. But it was no time for him to remain apart, even in communion with God; there was work to do below, which his mountain-top experience fitted him to do. So the three disciples who viewed the Transfiguration were not allowed to remain on the Mount, but were sent down to their daily work where the others were in vain trying to cure a demon-controlled boy. To test him, God offered to destroy the nation and make Moses the second Abraham of a new and greater people. Moses stood the test, rejected the tempting offer, and urged upon God three pleas for mercy. Moses hastened down the mountainside, with Joshua, who had been waiting for him. Soon they came in sight of the abominable idol, and the frenzied worshipers dancing, half naked, around it. Probably there was a power not only in his soul, but in his appearance,—some gleams of that glory described in Ex. 34:35. The breaking of the tables of the covenant was enough to cause the stoutest heart to fear. Moses then burned the golden calf and ground it to powder. "It is almost impossible to pulverize pure gold, but the act was made easily possible, probably, by alloyes present in the jewelry from which the idol had been made." —Patterson Du Bois. Then Moses put the question, "Who is on the Lord's side?" Who will stand for the right, whatever their past mistakes, whoever else may refuse? Practical Points The consequences of loving anything more than we love God are deadly. The character deteriorates; the conscience destroys peace; the allurements and attractiveness fade into horrors; plagues come; we fail of God's guidance; the idol is destroyed and nothing takes its place. "The soul is like a curious chamber with elastic walls, which can be expanded, with God as its guelq, illimitably, but which, without God, shrinks and shrivels until every vestige of the divine is gone."—Henry Drummond, in Natural Law. 900 DROPS CASTORIA ALCOHOL 3 PER CENT.

The North American Indians of the western coast have a tradition that roses were created without thorns. So tall and fair they grew that all creatures were attracted by their beauty and grace. Animals that browse upon grass and green herbage soon discover the tender sweetness of the roses' abundant foliage, and then every rose tree holding its flowers aloft but attracted attention and drew destruction to itself. Every part of the earth had been given its glory of roses, but in every place there were animals which sought the bushes to devour them, and and tribes of roses were in danger of becoming extinct. In their extremity they held a council, for in that faraway morning of the world plants as well as animals had power to speak. To the council all the roses came, and each had a tale to tell of suffering and disaster. At length it was decided to send for help to the godman of the tribes—the Hlawath of the west. Delegates were chosen from among those who were maimed and torn and had suffered most. Others also were sent who were tall and fair and graceful. Wisely this council discerned that should justice be denled the tribes, beauty might prevail in their cause. The conference was long and grave. At its close an armory of thorns was given to every rose, and thus were the tribes of roses delivered from the enemies.-Circle Magazine. Modesty of True Greatness. Abou Ben Adhem had just found out that his name led all the rest. "Still," he observed, with a modesty as rare as it was charming, "the season is young yet. I've made a few lucky hits, it's true, but just as likely as not I shall be at the bottom of the percentage column in batting before the season ends." Smilingly accepting the bouquet of cut flowers sent to him by an admirer in the grandstand, he stepped up to the plate, struck out, dodged a lemon thrown at him by a disgusted bleacherite, and went and took his seat on the bench. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Bobby's Viewpoint.

MISS HULDA KUGHLER There is a beauty and attractiveness in health which is far greater than mere regularity of feature. A sickly, irritable, and complaining woman always carries a cloud of depression with her; she is not only unhappy herself but is a damper to all joy and happiness when with her family and friends. It is the bright, healthy, vivacious woman who always charms and carries sunshine wherever she goes. If a woman finds that her energies are flagging and that everything tires her; if her feminine system fails to perform its allotted duties, there is nervousness, sleeplessness, faintness, backache, headache, bearing-down pains, and irregularities, causing constant misery and melancholia, she should remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs will dispel all these troubles. By correcting the cause of the trouble it cures where other treatment may have failed. Miss Elizabeth Wynn, of No. 205 8th Avenue, New York City, writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "For months I suffered with dreadful headaches, pain in the back and severe hemorrhages. I was weak and out of sorts all the time. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound heaped on me. It seemed like it seemed to be just what I needed and quickly restored my health." A Trouble Maker. Towne—The other day I helped your friend Dubley to select a beautiful etching— Browne—Don't mention Dubley to me; he's no friend of mine. Towne—Why, he told me he was going to send the etching as a present to you— Browne—So he did and my wife made me rearrange all the other pictures in the parlor to make room for it and I'm not done yet.

I suffered terrible agony, was nervous, irritable, and sick all the time. I took different medicines without benefit. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was recommended and within six months I was likely reduced to health and I want to recommend it to every suicering woman."

ATCHISON, KANSAS. The MATTER of DRESS This is essentially a year of costly simplicity. I never remember having seen so much costly lace used on summer gowns as this year, and besides this introduction of rare old lace the Blouse of Japanese Silk. The broad klimono straps show a central insertion of embroidered muslin, and then, in front, the blouse is finely tucked and inserted with lace, groups of tiny silken buttons being another pretty detail of its trimming, while the elbow sleeves are arranged in quite a new way with crossed and many-buttoned straps of silk, to hold in their puffed fullness above a lace-inserted cuff. muslins themselves have been embroidered—by hand—in a manner so elaborate and fine as to defy description. Some of these embroidered muslin gowns are worn with the smartest possible little coatie-boleros of tussore or chine taffetas. For example, Blouse of Broderie Anglaise. The dainty effect of this blouse is enhanced by insertions of lace, all edged with tiny frilling, the scalloped yoke and the prettily shaped cuffs also introducing this pretty contrast of fine lace the more boldly patterned broderie. the skirt of one which I saw the other day was of very fine broderie Anglise, entirely worked by hand, with bold cross-bars of Venetian guipure insertion. At the extreme hem these cross-bars were filled in with rich design of Cluny, and the whole thing was marvelously effective in a subdued way. The little coatee—which in front was shaped like an Eton jacket set in wide pleats—was made of ivory taffetas, which showed blurred roses, in faint delicate shades, all over its surface, and at the back this quaint coat was Blouse of White Net and Lace. This blouse is fitted with Japanese silk, while, outwardly, it is finished with effective touches of pale blue satin, and crochet lace, and buttons of the blue, all edged with rufflings of Valenciennes lace. The yoke of Valenciennes insertion is outlined with scrolls of gulpure applique, and connecting folds of the blue satin, the sleeves being distinguished by the novel and pretty way in which folds of satin are passed through criclets of lace, while then frills of lace frame the elbow becoming; and, finally, there may be noted a deeply draped satin waistband, fastened at the back with two of those button-rosettes. cut in sac form and the sleeves were klmono in design and extremely short. The blouse worn with this most Blouse of Chiffon Taffeta. Specially adapted for wear with morning and tailor-made costumes. It is of finely checked chiffon taffeta, and is arranged with a chemisette and cuffs of fine guipure, and trimming of Soutache braid and buttons, a further finish being given by a smart scheme of stitchings. It fastens at the back. original dress was made of Cluny inset with guipure and with valenciennes, and there was a folded waistband in a pale shade of rose pink, with the loveliest buckles of tortoise-shell and filigree silver. The rage for the "grey note" is unabated! Pale grey gloves and shoes, palet grey hats trimmed with shaded roses and lined with dull black, pale grey waistcoats for tailor-made gowns. Two important points of the toilette which will certainly remain "pale grey" until winter is with us again are the long suede gloves and the floating shoulder-scarfs, the latter frequently inset with fine black Chantilly and embroidered all around the edge with black silk. Some of the loveliest muslin gowns for afternoon wear are made of pure white Indian muslin, embroidered in pale-hued silks and inset with Maltese or Brussels lace. Silk embroideries in pale colors look exceedingly well on fragile muslin, though I much dislike them on linen, but they demand an accompaniment of lace motifs and insertions. All the embroidery designs of the moment are arranged to include Blouse of White Silk and Chiffon. The white silk and chiffon of the blouse is vellied with lace, which makes soft background for bands of delicate green silk-edged with narrow silken braid, and connected just above the waist by other pointed tabs, which give a corsetlet effect. Then below the folded band comes a smart little basque edged with braiding and a kilted frill, festoons of wee roses, embroidered in pale yellow and pink also entering into the decorative detail. inserted motifs of lace, and in some cases these designs are carried to an exaggerated degree of elaboration. When flowers in colored silks are introduced on white muslin dresses the silks are always of the softest and Blouse of White Chiffon. The white chiffon, which is patterned with black velvet spots, is tucked and arranged with scarves of beautiful chine ribbon, broadly bordered with white satin, and also dotted with black velvet, white fillet lace embroidered in floss silk, being a third fabric and factor of the chine ribbon and spotted chiffon drawn beneath the deep waistband of black glace. most subtle shades, and I have seen the loveliest effects obtained with embroideries in Japanese style, carried out entirely in two or three shades of the same color. Flowered muslins are also very fashionable for afternoon frocks and a favorite melange is flowered muslin and plain muslin, the latter being in the same shade as the groundwork of the former. Once again we are wearing embroidered skirts with plain bodices, or blouses, but invariably the sleeves show the same embroidery as that on the skirt. It is predicted that we shall see ivory white lace blouses worn with colored linen and tussure skirts, but no one reading this paragraph must run away with the idea that the funny old "blouse-and-skirt" idea is coming in favor again. It is quite possible that white lace blouses will be worn with pale blue linen, or pale peach tussure, skirts in the late summer, but these colored skirts will invariably be inset—in some way—with the same lace as that used for the blouse. It will not be a case of a "blouse-and-skirt," but of a specially designed costume. Persistence. St. Lawrence Alma-Tadema, R. A. was intended for the law and his parents so disliked the idea of his studying art that he was obliged to rise very early in the morning in order to paint. This had some good effect, for he formed a habit of early rising, and is often at work before most people are out of bed. At 14 the great artist painted a picture of his sister, and a 16 an excellent one of himself. Wholesale Poisoning Order In the fourteenth century the professiona) poisoner's favorite agent was arsenite, and this was known to the crown-ed heads. Charles de Mauvis, king of Navarre, in that century, commissioned a certain Woudreton to go to Parta and kill with arsenic Charles VI, the duke of Valofs, brother of the king, and his uncles, the dukes of Berry, Burgundy and Bourbon. Woudreton was detected and executed in 1384. CROP CONDITIONS IN WESTERN CANADA CROP CONDITIONS IN WESTERN CANADA Lateness of Spring Overcome by Ex excellent Growing Summer Season. Once more the farmers of Western Canada rest at ease and grow rich while they slumber. Their season of anxiety is over. For a time it looked as though a backward season was for once going to prevent the western country from maintaining its prominent position as leader of the grain growing countries of the world. The unusual lateness of the spring coupled with the rapid advance in the price of food-stuffs gave the pessimists some reason for their gloomy forebodings, and among even the optimistic Westerners imbued as they usually are with a spirit of buoyancy and hope, there commenced to glimmer a fear that perhaps this year their sanguine expectations were not to be realized. On May day when a large proportion of wheat had usually been sown there was this year very little seeding done. Finally, however, winter which had tarried so late in the lap of spring in all parts of the Continent vanished before the vertical rays of the sun, and the hurry and bustle of spring work commenced on the western prairies. By the 20th of May 85% of the spring wheat was sown and the fall wheat in the districts devoted to its cultivation was covering the fields with a mantle of green. Wheat sowing finished on May 30 and by June 10 the coarser grains were also in the ground. The heavy snowfall during the winter left the ground in excellent shape when once seeding operations commenced and from the time weather conditions permitted the commencement of work until planting was completed, the farmers were a busy class. The area in wheat is not much larger than last year, but oats, barley and flax are much in excess of past records, the farmers deeming it wiser on account of the lateness of the season to put in a heavier proportion of the coarser grains. From the most reliable reports to hand it appears that the acreage as compared with 1906 will show an increase of 12% in oats, 19% in barley and 13% in flax. Around Akotoks, High River, Nanton, Claresholm and other winter wheat centers, if the present weather conditions continue, the winter wheat will be in head by the middle of July. The backward weather in the early part of May allowed the newly sown grain to get a firm root in the ground, and now with an abundance of moisture and warm weather the growth is remarkable. All danger of injury from droughts is practically over as the green crop covers the ground retaining the moisture required for its growth and preventing the too rapid evaporation which might otherwise take place. Crops in Western Canada mature in one hundred days of good weather, and as the weather conditions have been ideal since seeding, and with spring wheat now from 14 to 18 inches above the ground, a full average crop is confidently expected. In addition to the cheering prospects of this year's yield the farmers are to be congratulated on the fact that they still have in their possession five million bushels of wheat from last year's crop which they are now disposing of at high prices. The splendid yield of 90,000,000 bushels of wheat raised in 1906 in the three provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, together with the almost certain assurance that this year will see a considerable increase, is, as in the past, calling the attention of the world of the "Last Best West," and thousands from the United States and the agricultural districts of Europe are each month securing free grant lands or purchasing farms in the land which has proved itself peerless among the grain growing countries of the world. The Goat Comes First. Switzerland is the only country in the world where the goat is placed ahead of all other animals, and even of human beings. If a boy plagues a goat he can be fined and sent to jail. If a person meets a goat on a path, and drives him aside he can be arrested. If a goat enters the yard of a person not his owner and is hit with club or stone the person guilty of the offence must pay 30 cents. If a railroad train sees a goat on the track the train must halt until the animal can be coaxed to remove himself. There's many a boy in America who wishes he were a goat in Switzerland. Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day. In the latest discovery-Defiance Starch—all injurious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, invented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never approached by other brands.

Do your little growing folks wake up in the night with cramp in their toes or legs? If so, tell them to slide down to the foot of the bed and press their toes hard against the footboard. This seldom fails to bring relief. Even the finest toot can do this for herself when she wakes up in alarm at the big pain in her leg. Should this fall, and sometimes when the cramp is up by the knee, it is not efficient, tell the sufferer to press the sole of her cramped foot against the instep of the other. Press good and hard, and the pressure, together with the warmth and electricity drawn from the well foot, will certainly bring relief unless the case is very stubborn. To treat the "knoty," subborn kind of cramp, which sometimes seizes the little folks when they are nervous, or if they have eaten something which does not agree with them, to tie a broad band (father's handkerchief, folded, will answer.) tightly above the cramped part. Rubbing, unless one knows just how to manipulate the muscle, often does more harm than good. The doctors tell us that cramp of this kind is as much a nervous as a muscular trouble. If your children suffer frequently with it, a good warm bath with an alcohol rub at night is a good preventive. B. N. "Sensible to the Last." An old Scotch lady used to be attended by a doctor to whom she invariably gave a guinea when he went to see her. He had told the friends with whom she lived that her death would probably be sudden, and one day he was hurriedly sent for, as she appeared to have become unconscious. On his arrival he saw at once that the old lady was dead, and, taking hold of her right hand, which was closed, but not rigid, he calmly extracted from it the fee which she had provided for him, and as he did so he murmured: "Sensible to the last."

National Negro Business League, of which organization he is also transportation agent and he is president of the National Afro-American Press Association, Mr. Adams says that the statement that he blackballed Mr. Wilkerson who applied for membership in the Washington Philatelic Society, is absolutely false. He voted for him and for every other person who has ever been proposed for membership. The dispatch was evidently the work of some local Ananias for Mr. W. Calvin Chase, one of the District's most prominent citizens and the editor of The Bee, who was charged as being at the head of a movement against Mr. Adams, declares that there is no such movement on foot and Mr Wilkerson says that he does not even know Mr. Adams and that he is not connected wit hany movement having the case as a basis of operation.

The New York Life’s Business Nearly Up to the Legal Limit. The New York Life Insurance Com: pany announces that its new paid business during the half year Just end: ti Was over seventy million dollars, As the new law allows no life com: pany to write over one hundred and Hiy millions per year, It would ap: pear that this company 4s working nearly up to the limit. The New York Life gained such headway be: fore the law Was passed and suffered sy little, comparatively, from the Arm: strong investigation, that the question with its management has been how to keep business down to the limit, rath: er than how to reach it, No other company is writing nearly as much as the law allows. The New York Lite has evidently become a pres ferred company, The company's payments to policy holders during the six months end- ing June 30 were $21,600,761, It te interesting to note that this amount Was almost equally divided between paytents under policies maturing by death and payments made to living policy holders. ‘Thus, while death. Claims Were $11,180,626, the amount paid for matured endowments, anni ities, trust fund installments, for pure chased policies and for dividends was $10,450,135.

A drowning and unustial method of recovering the body occurred at a pond six miles northeast of Joplin, Josse Stephenson, aged 23, son of Thomas Stephenson, whose home fs near Seneca, Mo, was drowned, Stephenson and a ad named Thomas Surridge went to an old caved-in mine to bathe. The broken ground, form. ing a Jagged, precipitous hole, is al most full of water. Stephenson could hot swim. Surridge plunged in and Stephenson, believing the water shal- low, waded ont. Suddenly he went over the bank and sank, — Surridge tried to rescue him, but the drowning man nearly dragged him down, A crowd gathered and for four hours the efforts to locate the body in the wa. ter, 28 to 30 fect deep, were unavatl- ing. Finally Lee Divert, a saloon keoper of Webb City, arranged to go into the depth. A long rope was se. cured and to this was attached a 40- pound weight, Holding to this Divert was lowered Into the water and ata depth of more than 30 feet found the body of Stephenson. He grasped it fn his arms and was hauled to the sur- ae. A Cause Celebre. After seven years of litigation the case of Shay vs Floyd has at last boon disposed of at Butler. This ts the ease known as the dog and colt ease and came up from Cornland, Shay alleged that a dog belonging to Ford had seared a colt of his and tn some way caused the death of the colt. He at once brought suit for $50, the value of the colt. While the suit was pending, Floyd died. The case caine up three times in the probate court, Some time ago the paries in the suit agreed to compromise, each side paying its own costs. The Floyd land was sold recently and the balance of the costs were paid to the circuit clerk. The costs in the several cases aggregated $450.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. ¥. PROUD IN HER POVERTY. Young Woman's Brave Answer to In- dulting: Landiond: Frank P. Sargent, the United States commissioner of immigration, said one day in Washington: “There 1s fine atuff in some of these poor people who come to uor shores. T heard recently of a young Swedish woman, Brave, witty and honorable, she could bring splendid young Americans into the world. A short time after she arrived among us, her husband got out of work. Naturally, then, the rent fell behind. The land- lord called for it one day in her hus- band’s absence, He listened to the young woman's tale of misfortune, re- garding the while her yellow hair, her clear blue eyes, her red mouth and white teeth, Suddenly, bending toward her, he said: Give us a kiss!” “She drew back, and her blue eycs, as cold as ice, dwelt on him disdain: fully. “No, she said, ‘my husband and 1 may be too poor to pay our rent, but we are not so poor that we can't de our own kissing.’” AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA, Covered with Yellow Sores—Grew Worse—Parents Discouraged—Cu- ticura Drove Sores Away. “Our little girl, one year and a halt old, was taken with eczema or that was what the doctor called it, We took her to three doctors but by this time she was nothing but a yellow, greenish sore. One morning we dis: covered a little yellow pimple on one of her eyes. Doctor No. 3 said that we had better take her to some eye spe- ‘clalist, since it was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and ho sald the eyesight was gone. We were nearly discouraged, but I thought We would try the Cuticura Treatment, so I purchased a set of Cuticura Rem: edies, which cost me $1, and in three days our daughter, who had been sick about eight months, showed great im- provement, and in one week all sores had disappeared. Of course it could not restore the eyesight, but it we had used Cuticura in time I am confident that {t would have caved the eye. Mrs, Frank Abbott, R. F. D.

"I wish to speak to you about that barrel of apples I bought day before yesterday," said the kind-looking old gentleman. "You'll have to see the clerk who sold them to you," the grocer answered, very snappishly. "I don't know anything about them." "But I desire to say to you personally that—" "Now, look here: I can't be bothered over every pound of sugar or pint of elder or barrel of apples that my clerks sell. Just see the young man who waited on you. He's around somewhere." "Yes, I see him there at the back end of the store; but I really felt that it was my duty to tell you about it. You see—" "If I stood around listening to everybody who comes into this store to complain that they've bought something they didn't want, or that they've been slighted, as they think, by my clerks, I wouldn't have time for anything else. You'll please excuse me. The clerk will hear your complaint, and if there is anything we can do you may be sure it will be done. But we can't take back a barrel of apples after they have been out of the store two or three days. You can surely see that if we did business in such a way—" "My dear sir, I don't want you to take back the apples, and I haven't any complaint to make. I merely wished to tell you that I found the apples at the bottom of the barrel to be just as big as the ones at the top. I believe in the principle of giving praise wherever it may be fairly given, and I stepped in to order an other barrel, but I see you're too busy to bother with such a trifle this morning, so I will be going"—Chicago Record Herald. BIG STICKS IN LONDON. Johnnies Carrying Canes of 46 Inches and Size Is Growing. The London "Johnny" has a new fad. This time it concerns his walking stick, which has now reached the extraordinary length of 46 inches, and is still growing. Of course it is impossible to make much use of such a stick as an aid to walking The London dude carries his horizontalwise, much to the annoyance of other pedestrians before and behind, and especially at crowded crossings. It is hardly reasonable to suppose that the New York "Willie Boy" is going to follow in the footsteps of London's "Johnny" in this matter of walking sticks. Neither New York nor any other busy American city would stand for them. Imagine one of these walking canes, carried horizontally, attempting to board a subway or Brooklyn bridge train or to turn a busy Broadway corner during rush hours. Everybody who has attempted to board a train carrying even a small package can imagine the fate of the walking stick. —N. Y. World. Experienced. "You say you're an experienced man?" asked the president of the police board, examining an applicant for an appointment as patrolman. "I am," answered the applicant. "How do you mean?" "I've had a great deal of experience with riots." "As a rioter?" "No, sir." "Have you ever been an officer?" "No, sir." "Have you ever been a strike breaker?" "No, sir." "What do you know about riots, then?" "I was an owl car conductor in St. Louis for six nights, sir."—St. Louis Post Dispatch. Coins Found in Old Wall A remarkable discovery of a hoard of gold and silver coins, amounting in value to about £300, has been made in the townland of Annaloughey, near Augheloy, county Tyrone. The money was discovered hidden in an old wall beside the house which has been the property of the same family for generations. The back of the wall at one time formed a portion of the original house. How or when the horde was placed in position where it was discovered is a mystery, but from the dates on the coins it must have been at least half a century ago.—Westminster Gaette. Hibernating Bats Nearly all bats have the faculty of hibernating. Their hibernation, however, is not perfect—that is to say, that when the warm days occur in the middle of winter they wake up, together with the insects which are their food. Still, theirs is a true hibernation trance, differing from sleep, with very low rate of pulse, heart action and respiration. Probably they would endure immersion in water for an hour or two without drowning, as other hibernators have been found to do. Chance for Inventors Suppose that one could find an alloy that would bear the same relation to aluminium that steel does to carbon or bronze to tin, says the Engineering Record. The result would be a new structural material of immense importance in mechanical work. The builders of light machinery are looking for just this thing. THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE Will Hold Its 8th Annual Session in Topeka, Kansas, August 14th, 15th and 16th, 1907. 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 may say that 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 illness are represented in this great concourse of industry that is soon to invade, for the first time, the broad and inviting plains of historic Kansas. Largely the majority of those attending will come from the North, East and South; some as delegates, and many as friends of the League who will make the trip, to see the west as a matter of curiosity, and personal pleasure. The attendance will be large; we dare say, the largest in the history of the League in point of delegates enrolled. What will the West do? To what extent will we contribute to this splendid galaxy of he commercial and business world? Is it not the most opportune moment to place ourselves favorably 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, theft 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 calculable. The opportunity will not, unless we begin at once to look be seen until it is past. To the end, therefore, that we in the 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 11:3 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 for all will be provided. A most appointed and ample accommodations bearty reception will be extended. Further information will be given by addressing Ira O. Guy, First Vice President, National Negro Business League at 311 West 14th Street. Topeka, Kan. L. L. JONES. Mr. L. L. Jones, Vice President of The Black Diamond Development Company, who is among the greatest financiers of our race, and a strong pillar of the Blacg Diamond Co., is now in the city. To give the Kansas City people a chance to purchase stock in this company. He has just returned from the field where they have eight wells and a pipe line and 630 acres of Gas and Oil property to develop, and is now marketing their Gas in Kansas City and Kansas City, Kansas, and all towns in this section are using gas which the Black Diamond Developing Co. is helping to supply. They can cheerfully recommend this investment as one of the best that colored people ever had a chance to get next to. This Company has overcome all obstacles and made good. Your investment now will be a safe one as you have no risk to run or chances to take. This is a great deal more than many other companies can say.' This is one company of color upon which you can rest assured its success is made. Mr. Jones spent five days in the field looking after business for the company, and also met several men representing several large gas magnates who have spent from ten to thirty years in the business in the East, and they told him that they had a mint and could not help from getting rich some day. Mr. Jones will be in the city unti next Thursday. If any one would like to see him or purchase any stock he would be glad to have them call at 908 E. 12th, Smith's Drug Store. The stock of this company is now selling at 50 cents per share and pays dividend at its par value, $1 per share. We have to raise $3,000 to put in a large pipe line, so we can put the entire output at the wells on the market. We also will be able to put on the line all the additional wells in the future, which means a great saving of over $7,000 to the company in the future. Remember that this is the last chance that people will have to purchase Black Diamond Stock. Mr. Jones had a very interesting meeting at the Second Baptist church, 10th and Charlotte, last Monday night which proved very successful to the company. You should not fail to buy stock in the Black Diamond Development Co., first because of the men who are at the head of the firm, are men of wide business experience, brains and money and they are going to carry this company to success. Here is where you make your money earn money while you sleep. All of the leading people of this country have stock in this company, so do not be left on the outside, for a chance like this only comes once in a thousand years. There is no risk to run when you go in a company somebody else has made it a success. The names of such men as A. Wilberforce, Williams, L. L. Jones, Fred Wescott, S. L. Saling Williams, at the head of this concern ought to be enough to convince every one of the stability of the company. We sell as low as 50 shares of the stock and up, but all cash. We do not give any time. Payments must be made inside of thirty days. Last chance. Buy now or never. Stock 500 per share. A FEW REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BUY BLACK DIAMOND DEVELOPMENT CO.'S STOCK. It is a corporation. It is not a scheme. It is a business enterprise. Every share is fully paid. There is no personal liability. All shares participate alike. There is no preferred stock. It has eight gas wells and a number of others to be drilled. The wells produce 15,000,000 cubic feet of gas per day. Its success is made. It has contracted for the sale of all its gas. It has contracted for 23 more wells. It now owns 630 acres of Gas leases. One pipe line finished April 20. Another now being installed. Missouri and Kansas both are burning Black Diamond Gas. Dividends iwil soon start. There were 105 stockholders October 24, 1905. There are over 500 now. There are only a few shares for sale now. No more will be offered to the public for sale. The Son has a lady attendant who will be here to transact all business along the newspaper line. For first-class meals 15c and neat rooms furnished and unfurnished, go to Mr. White's Restaurant, 1215 Independence.

LOUIS The facts exposed by the Rising Son concerning Nelson C. Crews seem to have made themselves apparent throughout the entire state. Even people in the state have awakened to the political danger of the Negro. Crews and others were delegates to the solemn conclave in St. Louis, July 10 and 11. It has been noticeable that the delegates of other parts of the state have been determined that Crews should not dominate the convention. There was a concerted effort on the part of everyone to fight him in all the communities. The results of which the committee appointment went to the so-called Lesser Lights leaving an entire blank in the cap of Mr. Crews. With this little exception the meeting was an entire success. Every Negro from Kansas City made himself good throughout the entire state. The venerable Bishop Grant was made president of the organization; W. C. Hueston was made chairman of the credential committee and other delegates from Kansas City received appointments. This conclave will have a tendency to mould a sentiment throughout the state of Missouri. TRIP AROUND THE WORLD. The second Baptist church will give a concert August 1 called a trip around the world. They are raising money for the church. A large crowd is expected. president; W. H. Davis and Edward Rowser, secretaries; William L. Pollard, treasurer; Daniel Freeman, first vice-president; Dr. Mary Williams, second vice-president; W. R. Griffin, third vice-president, and J. B. Nickerson, sergeant-at-arms. William T. Vernon, register of the treasury, was elected a member. The following delegates were elected to represent the District of Columbia in the annual convention of the National Negro Business League, which is to meet in Topeka, Kan, August 15, 16 and 17: J. A. Lankford, John C. Dancy, W. Calvin Chase, William L. Pollard, Dr. A. M. Curtis, Arthur Gray, Dr. W. H. Davis, Charles W. Brown, George Forest William T. Vernon, Mrs. L. R. Clark, Dr. Mary Williams, Daniel Freeman, James W. Poe, and Alex. W. Underdown. Dr. Davis then addressed the meeting on the advancement of the race in the District along certain lines and the good the local business league has done and can do. Howard University was founded on the 15th of November, 1867, and it is proposed to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of that event when the date comes around next fall. Arrangements have already begun. President Wilbur Patterson Kirkeld has conferred with President Roosevelt, who is expected to be the principal figure in the ceremonies, and a committee of the alumni has been organized to promote the success of the occasion. It is proposed to commemorate the event by raising the fund for a new building which is greatly needed to accommodate the 46,000 volumes which are now overcrowding the present library. The occasion will call back to Washington many of the 3,000 alumni for a reunion, and such a gathering will do more than anything else that could be planned to stimulate interest in the institution. The new president, Dr. Thirkield, will be inaugurated at that time. Let this be understood by every one who reads this paper. First that this paper under its new management can back up anything that goes within its sheets. Financially, intellectually or otherwise. So don't be too confident of your power of resistance. Wise and powerful men know their weakness and limit. Weak and foolish men know neither. Mr. F. D. Patterson, Fourth Vice President of the National League, and manager of the carriage building firm of C. R. Patterson & Sons, Greenfield, Ohio, is taking an active part in increasing the influence of the organization in the state of Ohio. A large number of delegates from this section will likely attend the Topeka session of the League than at any previous meeting. NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE NOTES. he National Negro Business League will meet Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 14, 15 and 16, in the Hall of the House of Representatives, State Capitol Building, Topeka, Kansas. Governor E. W. Hoch will welcome the delegates. Detailed information as to accommodations at Topeka can be secured from Mr. Ira O. Guy, Ways and Means Committee, 311 West 14th Street, Topeka, Kansas. The social features, aside from the very strong program which has been arranged, include an outing at Garfield Park on Thursday, a banquet at the Auditorium on Friday evening, and a final picnic at "Vinewood" the aristocratic pleasure resort, six miles from the city on Saturday, August 17th. The Southeastern Passenger Association, the Western Passenger Association, and the Southwest Excursion Bureau have joined in extending rates of one and one-third fare on the certificate plan to delegates who plan to attend the Eighth Annual Session of the League. Plans are being formulated in various sections of the country whereby you will have provided for them special Pullman and Chair Car accommodations. In this way, comfort and privacy will be afforded. The Topeka Negro Business League has arranged for an excursion rate to Colorado points, so that persons wishing to do so may deposit their tickets and after the Legue sessions proceed to such points. aMmy delegates have expressed the desire to see the rich new country beyond the Mississippi river—the Oklahoma and Indian Territory section—and similar arrangements will be made for them. This session of the League offers an admirable opportunity for a visit to the West at comparatively small cost. The League is one of the most helpful organizations that the Afro-American people have. It has accomplished a great and good work. It was never stronger than it is today. By its teaching and the annual gathering of its members has inspired more business enterprise of all sorts than any other influence in the life of the people. The annual meetings are necessary. They bring the business people together and give them an opportunity to match experiences and to feel the strength which inheres in association. And there is a social side to these meetings which is helpful and inspiring. The way to learn what sort of men and women are laying the commercial foundations upon which the children may amass large wealth is to visit the annual meetings of the Business League.
