AFRO-AMERICANS ORGANIZE TO SOLVE THE "NEGRO RACE PROBLEM" WITH THE BALLOT. There is a movement of national scope, launched by Prof. James E. McGirt, editor of "McGirt's Magazine," also author and poet of considerable ability, to organize the Afro-American voters in the doubtful states, where they hold the "balance of power," and have them cast their vote only for such candidates as will champion equal rights for the Negro, and who will lend their aid to enforcing the Constitution of the United States, and see that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments are "carried out to the letter. Prof. McGirt, through his magazine and on the platform, has proven to many that the "ballot is the Negro's only weapon of defense in this country," and hopes by this movement to do away with disfranchisement in the South. It is said that the leader in this movement is in close touch with 25,000 ministers and teachers in this country, and the movement has almost unani- Beauty Con I vote for M as the most b mous endorsement. Prof. McGirt further states that the thousands of educated Afro-American, assisted by many Caucasians who are willing to give the Negro liberty as is given all other American citizens, can easily see that the ballot is handled intelligently. He also believes that the "so-called Negro problem" is no more than the effort of a large number of the Caucasian race to reduce the Negro to a position of semi-slavery, and that the Negro's effort to prevent being thus subjugated is the "sum total" of the so-called Negro problem, and believes the ballot to be the antidote, and the only one for its solution. Read carefully, and let us know what you think of the movement, and what part you are willing to take in it. Address J. E. McGIRT. 420 South Eleventh St. Philadelphia, Pa.

A DISCOVERY BRINGS A SHOCK TO CHICAGO UNIVERSITY. With White Skin and Much Beauty, Cousin of the Notorious "Much Mouth" Johnson Held Her Popularity Through Five Years Chicago, July 22.—Society citadels of the University of Chicago have been stormed by a negress—viacious, talented musically, as white skinned as the average white girl and much sought after because of her clever linguistic and conversational accomplishments. Her triumps endured and waxed until it was discovered that the girl, who up to that time had been welcome to the most sacred college circles as a white coed, was in reality a cousin of "Mush Mouth" Johnson and was reared in his family. "Mush Mouth" Johnson has received much newspaper and police court notoriety because of his prominence as a First ward gambler, second in political rating only to "Hinky Dink" and the "bath house." A Sorority Turned Her Out. The explosion came yesterday when the facts regarding her race and blood were spread broadcast among her class and college mates, to the astonishment of all except the members of the exclusive sorority of Pi Delta Phi, to whose collective heart she had been clasped as a beloved and admired associate. They learned the truth some time ago and erased her name from their membership roll, and, fearing ridicule, made solemn pledges of secrecy. Miss Cecelia Johnson, the 'varsity coed, who has so long kept secret her blood relationship to "Mush Mouth," was hostess last night in the family residence at 5830 Wabash avenue. As fair of countenance as any ordinary white girl, she entertained eight or ten Afro-Americans of the blackest hue. There wasn't a mulatto in the party. "Mr. John Johnson is my brother," said Miss Johnson, but this is not exactly her blood relationship to the man better known as "Mush Mouth." She has been reared to call him "brother," but that is because she has been practically, although not legally, adopted into the family of Mrs. Ellen Johnson, mother of "Mush Mouth." At The University Five Years. Miss Johnson has been a student at the university five years and her social triumphs extend over the greater part of the period. From an obscure freshman girl to the leader of one of the Midway sets—and now back again to her original station—has been the experience of the negro gambler's relative. The girl was one of the most popular co-eds who ever entered the university. She was welcome at any entertainment because of her beauty and wit, her musical accomplishments and her culture. Her card was always the first to be filled at the numerous dances of the university students and her company was sought after by all the young blooms of the in situation. During her supremacy at the university the girl became noted for the modish costumes she affected, he chic air and the wonderful diamonds she wore at the formal parties. In June of 1906 she took her bachelor's degree from the university with honors. Kindly insert the following in this week's issue if possible. The delegates to the District Grand Lodge of Missouri and District Grand Household, will leave Monday for Booneville, to attend the 26th annual session of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of Missouri, which convenes in that city August 6th, 7th and 8th. They will be accompanied by the District Grand Master. Edward S. Lewis also of this city. Wednesday evening, Kansas City Patriarch No. 66, with 13 swords under command of Captain Thomas Eaton, and Lieutenant A. D. Parron, will also leave to participate in the parade of Thursday and will also give an exhibition drill while there. A PLEA FOR AID.

STATE FAIR SEDALIA. Great preparations are being made for the Seventh Annual Exhibition of the Missouri State Fair, October 5-11th, 1907. Three new brick barns, practically fire-proof, with a capacity of 150 animals each are being erected. New walks are being laid and and the old ones repaired. Larger water main are laid and extended to all stock barns, affording an abundance of water for live stock and an increased pressure for extinguishing fire. The main boulevard is being laid with macadam under the supervision of the United States Department of Good Roads, thus furnishing a sample of permanent roadway for the inspection of visitors, built in the mose approved and practical manner. Every possible convenience for the comfort and entertainment of visitors is being provided, and the most successful meeting in the history of the institution is assured. The County Clerk has Premium Lists for distribution, or Secretary Ripley at Sedalia will furnish you with ful information. In the middle of October 1906, when nature was in one of her most fascinating moods, a little group of girls met under the supervision of Madam J. F. Shannon as chaperon at 1717 E. 17th Street, for the purpose of organizing a club. The name was then brought forth and one bright, energetic woman, with the consent of the girls, decided that the organization would be called Clionion Circle—deriving its meaning from "Clio" one of the Greek nurses of Epics poetry. The purpose of the circle is to bring about a social and intellectual advancement and to do charitable deeds the circle has become a member of the Womans' State Federation and was represented by Mrs. Zella Arnold at the last meeting of the federation during the holidays. Having thus given a bazaar, moonlight fete and also a reception during the holidays—giving the Old Folks and Orphans' Home ten dollars and have at the present time a reading room located in Miss Annie Warner's Conservatory, with a collection of fifty books and many periodicals—we feel thankful to our Savior and the many friends that take such interest in the circle. And it is also a pleasure to see the number has greatly increased during vacation and the circle feels confident the old adage "The more the merrier,' will be fulfilled. The officers first elected and members belonging are: Pearl B. Choucan, President; Lottie H. Whittington, Vice President; Mamie Payne Secretary; Bessie Patterson, Assistant Secretary; Myrtle Lewis, Treasurer; Lola Ross, Editor; Blanche Barker, Librarian; Mrs. J. F. Shannon Critic; Mabel Bell, Estella Christian Myrtle Foster, Ollie Haynes, Elizabeth Holden, Ruth Knox, Edith Overs Mary Riehardson, Portia Tillman Leona Thurman, Nellie Thomas, Capella Wilson, Mesdames Maude Price and Zella Price. 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 befitting 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.

Smith of Kansas City, Kan., who intends to practice law in St. Paul, Minn., is having a very sensational finish. The idea of a Negro shooting at a colored lawyer because he garnisheed his wages is t thing to be throttled and condemned in this community. If it had been a White lawyer the Negro would have slunk away like a lean hound to his kennet. Its the same way in any business, Negroes do not give the proper amount of respect to professional men and of respect to professional men and Negroes who have authority. The same way with a Negro journal. When a reporter goes out and gets the news of some negroes wrongdoing, there is a great hubb of dissatisfaction and a howl and threats. Wednesday night a negro of big physique met the editor of this paper, and because of some news that was to go in, or had gone in or will go in, began his braggard voice, but he was very easily quieted. Let this statement go broadcast to the public and whoever you are, whatever you represent and how exclusive you may be, do anything that's a detriment to the public, your name shall appear in the Rising Son. Thousands of Negroes will read of their misdoing. Mandates of Fashion LOTUS The day of the supremacy of the linen costume for hackabout wear is over. The trouble with linen is that it musses readily. A mussed linen is a deplorable sight, and one can't ride in railway trains without leaving traces of it on linen. Rajah and worsteds do not muss readily and are quite as cool and more pliable. As for the lightweight cloths, those that do not wrinkle easily are ideal. For years they were too heavy and warm to make comfortable traveling costumes and those for wear around town on warm days. Now, however, that the art of making them in serviceable yet smart colors, and also of lining them with silks so thin as to add hardly anything to their substance, the former objections are done away with. Then, too, while starch added to the heat of linen, there is none of that in wool and worsted, and they clean better and are suitable for a greater number of emergency cases in the gown line than are the Raibas. Not a few so-called "jumper" or pinafore dresses are seen on the younger matrons and girls. The jumper frocks are extremely pretty, and made by a good dressmaker are so far different from the ordinary jumper dress one sees by the dozen that the wearers of the former need not mind the similarity of idea. Besides, all sorts of coats HAT CHAT A There is a tendency to wear the hats farther back than ever from the forehead, and added to this in many instances there is the appearance of the hats being two sizes too large and—so far as the brim is concerned—abnormally large at the back. But the eyes grow accustomed to these cloche and mushroom hats of peculiar outline. However, just at first they strike everyone in the same way—the appear to be falling off the head! Even the very small mushroom shapes, which promise to be so popular for country and seaside wear, are thrown back on the head, and when these are lined with dark tafetas, as is so often the case with the straw hats of this season, they form a most becoming aureola for the face! The circular veil is a Paris innovation. At first sight this arrangement of net and lace suggests a dainty parasol cover, but when posed on a large cloak but it gives the most picturesque and satisfactory effects. The new veil is cut in a perfect circle, and as I have said, large enough to cover a small parasol. It is edged SUMMER GOWNS. and skirts are copied in cheap material, so one could hardly expect the convenient and cool jumper to escape. For the woman with a limited pocket-book they are boons indeed. A special point about the summer gowns of to-day is the outline of the waistband. The short-waisted effect is still very popular, but we now rarely see a waistband with a decided point in front; the correct line is that which circles the waist with the slightest possible droop in front, but nothing approaching a point. It is, perhaps, difficult for women to avoid exaggeration, but I cannot help regretting that the point in front is beginning to be considered "incorrect." The most becoming belt a woman can wear is a very narrow one which droops distinctly in front, and which is held in place by a buckle at the back. This belt makes the waist look round and slender. Of course the pointed belt has been done to death by the misguided women who insisted last season on wearing exaggerated corsets of the straight-fronted persuasion, and who arranged their waist bands in such a way that they made themselves look, when standing up, like ill-made dwarfs! These short-sighted persons not alone made themselves objects of public ridicule, they also brought undeserved disgrace on an infinitely becoming style of belt. all round with pleated frills or with little quillings of narrow ribbons; or again, it is inset with fine lace all round the edge and further enriched by the introduction of several rows of very narrow black velvet ribbon. This veil may be arranged in several ways. It may be caught in at the throat, allowing the pleated frills to drape themselves round the neck in a peculiarly becoming style. At other times the veil may be left perfectly loose—hanging like a curtain all round the hat; or it may be drawn towards the back and held in place by fancy pins. Frilled veils are still in the height of their popularity, and, for wearing with flower decked hats nothing could be prettier than a long black spotted net veil edged with several pleated frills of narrow satin ribbon in a pale shade of ivory. The net should be of the finest and best quality, and the ribbon exceedingly soft and not more than half an inch wide. As to the hats displayed in our picture the top one is soft brown straw, whose brim is lined with black silk and then caught against the crown by a big and deftly tied bow of the same glaze. This particular model is an admirable example of the smart simplicity which is so desirable for morning, and traveling and holiday wear. The hat in the middle is a fascinating cloche hat, whose white net is patterned with shadowy pink roses and trails of wee forget-me-nots, its gauded fulness being finally bordered by two little frills edged with Valenciennes lace. For its further decoration there is tied right across the front of the full crown a bow of pink silk ribbon with a cluster of roses and buds in the same lovely shade, caught in the center with the prettiest possible effect The third hat displayed is fashioned of white Valenciennes net, the transparency of the down-dipped brim being bordered with a broad band of black straw, over which fall the lace-edged handkerchief points of the Valenciennes drapery velling the crown, while then, tied in front, is a many-looped bow of the same flimsy and decorative fabric. Cause of Her Pensiveness "Young Mrs. Oldrox seemed to be in rather a pensive mood to-day." "I don't wonder. The doctor says her husband's days are numbered." "Really? Ah! I suppose she was thinking how soon he would leave her." "Either that or 'how much.'"—Phil adelphia Press. Interesting Bits of News Picked Up Here and There at the National Capital VACATIONS COST UNCLE SAM BIG SUM YEARLY WASHINGTON.—To his hired help Uncle Sam is generous to a degree, going down into his wallet to the extent of something like $3,000,000 annually to give them a 30-day's outing at the seashore or in the mountains. This sum is for the army of employees in Washington alone and does not include the thousands of others who are on duty and on the payroll throughout his vast domain and in foreign countries. Liberal lawmakers decided that ten months each year was long enough for employees to work, and that 30 days for annual leave. At first this law was for the officials and clerks only, and did not include printers, pressman and navy yard workmen. Eventually these were given 15 days annual leave, and finally, through hard and persistent efforts, the full 30 days. No sick leave, however, has ever been granted them, and, strange as it may appear, they seem to be the healthiest class of government workers. The government printing office, the bureau of engraving and printing, and the navy yard are not classed as "hospitals for invalids," as the treasury and other departments are termed. Not getting HEREAFTER women clerks of the department of agriculture will not be permitted to act as private secretaries or confidential clerks for male chiefs of divisions or bureaus. Secretary Wilson has no prejudice against them, but he deems it due to them that not one of them be required to perform services that will bring her into such relations with her chief as to enable evel-minded persons to do any gossiping. He considers it better for the good name of the women employees in the departmental service to make a rule that men chiefs of division shall have men as private secretaries or confidential clerks. The fact that the secretary had prescribed such a rule for his own guidance has become known recently through his refusal to permit a woman stenographer to be detailed as clerk BANNER THAT INSPIRED SONG IS NOW ON VIEW THE flag that floated over Fort McHenry during the bombardment by the British on the night of September 13, 1814, and which inspired Francis Scott Key when he saw it still floating over the ramparts at sunrise the next morning to write the "Star-Spangled Banner," is now upon exhibition in the hall of history at the Smithsonian institution. The flag, which is about 28x20 feet, has been leaned to the institution by Mr. Eben Appleton of New York, for two years upon the personal solicitation of Dr. Charles D. Walcott, secretary of the institution. As the flags draped in the glass case, only one of the large stars is visible. It is backed by canvas stated to have been placed there by the late Admiral Preble, formerly stationed at the Boston navy yard. As little of the flag can be seen in its present resting place, it is the purpose of the officials of the institution to drape it upon one WHEN Miss Ethel Roosevelt makes her formal bow to society at the White House next winter Washington will see the first of a series of entertainments such as have not been held since the days of Nellie Grant. True, the social career of Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, as Alice Roosevelt, was marked by many notable affairs in Washington, but with the exception of a few small dinners which were given for her shortly before she was married there was only one large entertainment at the White House which was strictly for Alice, and that was her coming out ball. Whether the continuous shower of attentions from her friends and society generally precluded Miss Alice from having many affairs of her own was never made clear. Miss Ethel's first season as a so pay for being sick, those not entitled to such leave manage to remain is extraordinarily good health and per form their duties with great regularity. So badly abused has been the sick leave privilege that at the last session of congress what appeared to be a determined effort was made to repeal the law, but the matter was permitted to go over, giving the Keep commission and other reformers an opportunity to make further investigation and secure facts and figures. If one is to judge by the policy of retrenchment and reform so strenuously carried out by the present administration, it is entirely safe to assert that sick leave will not be one of the pickups now enjoyed by government workers after the next session of congress. There are in Washington about 31,000 employees of Uncle Sam. The salary and wages paid will aver $1,200 each, male and female. This gives to each individual employee $100 leave money, and is ready on call for officials and clerks any time during the calendar year, but employees of the class stated are not entitled to leave until the beginning of the fiscal year —July 1. WILSON BARS WOMEN AS PRIVATE SECRETARIES to a chief of bureau. He is perfectly willing to have the stenographers take dictation from the chiefs of bureau, but he will not allow them to be detailed to fill positions the duties of which might require them to remain after the working hours or to go to the homes of the chiefs to finish work outside of office hours. Two years ago, when there was a scandal in the department, the woman who performed the duties of private secretary for a bureau chief for several years, was brought into a notoriety altogether displeasing to the secretary. A majority of the men chiefs do not want women in such positions, but occasionally one comes along who is so well pleased with the work done by a particular clerk that he asks to have her promoted and made private secretary. Requests of that kind are being refused. of the walls of the hall of history, where it can be plainly viewed by the visitors to the building. According to J. B. Taylor, of the United States coast and geodetic survey, Col. Armstead, who commanded Fort McHenry during the bombardment by the British feet, took the flag after the rain of shot and shell had ceased and had it conveyed to his headquarters. He later gave it to his mother, who was a sister of Mr. Taylor's great-great grandfather. Col. Armstead's mother some years afterward, it is said, presented the flag to her granddaughter, who married one of the Appletons of New York and Boston. Later Mr. Eben Appleton came into possession of the flag. In his letter to Dr. Walcott Mr. Appleton says that he is pleased to loan the flag to the Smithsonian, so as to enable so many of his countrymen to see the ensign that caused "The Star-Spangled Banner" to be written. ETHEL ROOSEVELT WILL HAVE GAY COMING OUT ciety girl will be notable. According to the present plans, which are being discussed, a brilliant ball will be given for Miss Ethel next January. She will not have finished her schooling, but will leave the National Cathedral school after the Christmas holidays. Miss Ethel is very anxious to make her debut while her father is president. The debut ball will be given in the east room and will be planned on an even more elaborate scale than the one which the President and Mrs. Roosevelt gave for Miss Alice. It will bring together the most exclusive young people in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington, and will mark the opening of the gayest season the White House has known since President Roosevelt assumed the reins of office. Sunday School Lesson for Aug. 11, 1907 Specially Prepared for This Paper LESSON TEXT.-Lev. 10:11. Memory versus 8. GOLDEN TEXT.—"Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and whoosher is deceived thereby is not wise."—Prov. 20:1. TIME—April B. C. 1490 (common chronology); on the afternoon (Lev. 10:12, 19) of the first day that the priests entered upon the regular sacrifices of the tabernacle (Lev. 8:33, 9:1), eight days after the completion of the tabernacle, our last lesson. Nearly a year after the exodus. PLACE—In the tabernacle near Sinai. The Situation—Everything was nearly prepared for the onward march toward the promised land. There had been nearly a year of instruction and training in the wilderness experiences and at Sinai. The tabernacle had been set up on the first day of the first month. The priests had been prepared and trained in their duty of leading the people in true worship. In 40 days, the 20th of the second month, they were to break up their long encampment and begin their journey (Ex. 40:17; Lev. 9:1; Num. 10:11:13). The moral law had been given. The ritual law had been announced and taught. The divine fire shone over the Holy of Holies, like the sun—light, peace, comfort, brightness, beauty, life to those who use it aright, but a consuming fire to those who despise and misuse its power. The divine fire had kindled the fuel on the altar; a perpetual flame (Lev. 6:13) “to be continually fed with the fuel especially provided by the congregation, and with the daily burnt offerings.” “Tradition assures us that it never was quenched till the destruction of the temple by Nebuchadnezzar.” — Dr. Ginsburg. The ceremonial of religion as appointed by God, to continue as the best method of worship and religious education of the people, was begun. V. 1. "Nadab and Abihu, the Sons of Aaron." His eldest sons (Ex. 6:23,) just inducted into the exalted office of priests, next to their father, the high priest, in the line of succession to the highest office of religious leadership and influence in the nation. A glorious opportunity was before them. They had passed through three great portals of usefulness and happiness. (1) Their parentage was a fine advantage. Moses was their uncle. Their exalted family had given them great privilege of association with the best in the nation. (2) Their education was remarkable. They had spent a year in God's wilderness training school, receiving the lessons of the riven rock, the qualls, the manna, the law written on the tables of stone. Moreover, they had had the exalted privilege of beholding with their own eyes the glory of God upon the holy mount (Ex. 24:1, 9, 10). (3) They had passed through the portal of a glorious calling. They had been dedicated to a secret and most honorable trust. They wore the garments that separated them, in the eyes of all men, to the priest's life of holiness and obedience. Before each of them was even the thrilling possibility of becoming high priest some day. Their sin was a direct, public, inexcusable disobedience to their God and leader. It partook of the nature of treason. They doubtless did it thought lessly, but there are occasions when thoughtlessness is a crime. The Necessity of the Punishment. It was the same as the necessity for all punishment,—in its justice, in its measurement of the evil of the slan, and its prevention of crime. No government of imperfect people can exist or does exist without it. "As has just been pointed out, the ritual system had been inaugurated on that very day. All was new and strange, easily dishodged, depreciated, or corrupted, and therefore needing special guarding. The bud needs, and has protection from rough husks, which the flower can do without. This swift death of offenders against the new order has its parallel in the swift death of Ananias and Sapphira, which is to be vindicated on similar grounds. There, too, the necessity was stringent for instant removal of a springing root of bitterness, by which many might be defiled, and for saving the young life of the community from disease, which, unchecked, might infect its whole future. One Cause of the Tragedy.—Vs.9-11. 9. "Do not drink wine nor strong drink." The nearness of this injunction to the story of Nadab and Abihu implies that their sin was due, partly, if not wholly, to intoxication. "The Palestinian Chaldee adda here, 'as thy sons did who died by burning fire.'" —Ginsburg. "When ye go into the tabernacle." The reasons given for this prohibition are two: (1) The tendency of wine drinking is to obscure the (v.10) "difference between holy and unholy" or common; and (2) they would be better prepared to (v.11) "teach . . . all the statutes." Practical Points. Disobedience to God's laws is the road to death, whether it be disobedience to his moral laws or to the laws of health and right use of our bodies. Even the moderate use of strong drink shortens the life in years, and shortens it still more in its effective power. Alcohol is dangerous, not only by reason of the injuries it causes to the nervous system, but above all by the denutrition that it produces in an organism which indulges in it, to excess. —Dr. Lancereaux, Academy of Medicine, France. The kidneys have a great work to do in keeping the blood pure. When they get out of order it causes backache, headaches, dizziness languor and distressing urinary troubles. Keep the kidneys well and all these sufferings will be saved you. Mrs. S.A. Moore, proprietor of a restaurant at Waterville, Mo., says: 'Be- they get out of order it causes backache, headaches, dizziness languor and distressing urinary troubles. Keep the kidneys well and all these sufferings will be saved you. Mrs.S.A.Moore, proprietor of a restaurant at Waterville, Mo., says: "Before using Doan's Kidney Pills I suffered everything from kidney troubles for a year and a half. I had pain in the back and head, and almost continuous in the loins and felt weary all the time. A few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills brought great relief, and I kept on taking them until in a short time I was cured. I think Doan's Kidney Pills are wonderful."

Of the 20,000,000 people inhabiting Spain, only about 35 per cent. can read and write; another two and one-half per cent. of the population can read without being able to write, but the remaining 62½ per cent. are absolute illiterates. In the south of Spain it is impossible to get a servant who can read and write, and many of the postmen are unable to tell to whom the letters they carry are addressed. They bring a bundle of letters to a house and the owner looks through them and takes those which are (or which he thinks are) addressed to him. The Spanish postmen are not paid by the state; the recipient of the letters have to remunerate them according to the amount of their correspondence, and each letter costs the addresser at least one cent. It is a joke among the easy-going Spaniards that he who treats the postmen best receives the most letters—whether they are intended for him or not. 4 Long Time to Sweep. Everything, even a magnificent church, must be regarded from the point of view of the beholder. A Lon don paper says that two country girls who acted as if they might be enjoying a holiday from domestic service were observed walking down the aisles of St. Paul's Cathedral. Under the great dome one of them stood and gazed around her with an air of such wonder that a spectator might well suppose that she was awestruck by her solemn surroundings. But when she spoke, the idea was disliss pated. "Oh, Sarah," she exclaimed "wouldn't this place take a long time to sweep?" Too Much Exposure. Elise is a laundress of color. She is well past youth, wears a parennial smile and sports a single front tooth of much prominence. Recently she missed one of her visits to a patron, and when she next put in an appearance she was suffering from a bad cold. When asked how she took such a serious cold she said: "During the recent festivities our club gave a ball. The gentleman what's paying attention to me is very particular, so I had to go in full evening dress, and I had to leave off a few pieces, and it got me." All In Cold Storage. An Oregon attorney, representing a client whose title to a certain cold storage plant was under fire, closed an able argument before the Oregon supreme court recently with the following bit of pathos: "Your honor, there is more resting upon your decision than this cold storage plant: a human life is at stake. My client's life's efforts are in this cold storage; his life's blood is in this cold storage; his body and soul are wrapped up in this cold storage."—Law Notes. Brains are Built from certain kinds of FOOD Try Grape-Nuts "America has become a land of nervous emotionalists, largely owing to our sins against the dietetic health laws of nature. "Only outdoor exercise in a cold climate would enable vigorous individuals of our species to digest the vines forced upon alimentary organs enfeebled by sedentary occupations," wrote Dr. Felix Oswald. Brain workers must have different food than laborers, because brain work uses up parts of the brain and nerve centers, while physical labor uses up other parts of the body. Grape-Nuts, a food for brain workers, prepared by scientific food makers, is a pure, natural food made from selected parts of field grains known to contain the natural phosphate of potash and other elements required by the system in rebuilding and repairing the brain and nerve centers. This food is skillfully cooked at the factory and is ready to be served instantly with cream. At all first-class grocers and made by the Postum Co., at Battle Creek, Mich.

Goodell declares that what the church needs to-day most of eds to-day most of all is a revival of home religion. "We are getting so busy," he says, "that we do not have time for family prayers. Father has to get off in the morning, and the children have to get off to school, and there are so many social engagements at night. Martin Luther said that prayer and provender hindered no man. "Let us go back to family worship. Let us go back to the train." WORLD MIDEVIVAL Fervent in Spirit 10 Neither Hot nor Cold 9 To are of and your nothing work of nought 10 41.39 ing of the home. My father was never so busy that he did not get us all down on the kitchen floor before he went out in the morning, and have prayers. He had the old-fashioned way of praying for each member of the family, beginning with the oldest boy. I was the little one of the family, and whatever I was doing, I would stop when he got to me. I felt that if he was interested enough to talk with God about me, I had better listen, and I have never forgotten it." -Home Herald. TO PROMOTE SUNDAY SCHOOLS. Permanent Organization for Further-ance of World Wide Work. The most significant action taken by the World's Sunday School Congress at Rome was the creation of a new Sunday school organization called the World's Sunday School association. It consists of a picked body of well-known laymen and ministers from America, Great Britain and Europe who will have in charge the promotion of the Sunday school movement throughout all lands. The first president chosen for the new association was Rev. F. B. Meyer of London, while the chairmanship of the executive committee fell to America and was bestowed upon Dr. George W. Pailey of Philadelphia. Some of the well-known Americans who are members of the new association are President E. K. Warren of Three Oaks, Mich.; Mr. W. N. Hartshorn, of Boston; Mr. H. J. Heinz, of Pittsburgh; Mr. F. A. Wells, of Chicago; Mr. A. B. McCrillis, of Providence, R. I.; Mr. Marlon Lawrence, of Chicago, and Bishop J. C. Hartzell of Africa, formerly of Cincinnati. To Honor John Calvin. Already arrangements are being made in this country to assist in the celebration of the quadricentennial of John Calvin, founder of Presbyterianism, in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1909. At a recent meeting in Union Theological seminary, New York city a committee of seven was appointed to secure the cooperation of religious leaders all over the United States in an endeavor to raise $25,000 for the American contribution toward a monument to Calvin, to be erected at his birthplace, Geneva. President Patton, of Princeton Theological seminary, is one of the leaders in the movement. What of the Future of China? What of the Future of China?

Of this $9,066 was raised by special appeals and gifts. The result from the self-denial fund and harvest festival was $33,242.

Military parades will be a feature of the occasion. NO GAIN AND SOME LOSS. Neighbor's Comment In Which There Seems a Strain of Sarcasm. "Yes," the leader of the amateur brass band was saying, "it's curious to see what an effect learning to play a horn has on some persons. I used to be a pretty good bass singer, but I can't sing worth a cent now." "Does learning to play a horn spoil the voice?" asked his next-door neighbor. "It did mine." "How do you account for it?" HOW do you account for it. Strains the vocal chords, perhaps. All I know is that I blew my voice out through the mouthpiece of my cornet." "Did you have a good voice?" "Everybody said so." "Then it's a great pity you ever learned to play a horn," rejoined his neighbor, shaking his head sadly. "I—er—think I should have enjoyed hearing you sing."—Youth's Companion. FEARFUL BURNING SORES. Boy In Misery 12 Years—Eczema In Rough Scales, Itching and Inflamed—Cured by Cuticura. "Cuticura has put a stop to twelve years of misery I passed with my son. As an infant I noticed on his body a red spot and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. During the day it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, inflamed and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. One doctor told me that my son's eczema was incurable, and gave it up. I decided to give Cuticura a trial. When I had used the first box of Cuticura Ointment there was a great improvement, and by the time I had used the second set of Cuticura Remedies my child was cured. He is now twelve years old, and his skin is as fine and smooth as silk. Michael Steinman, 7 Summer Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., April 16, 1905." Evidently Needed Burial. "The late Gen. Thomas H. Ruger," said a Stamford man. "was, like many army officers, an authority on good cooking, but he detested rank, high cheese. At a dinner he said that a very rank cheese was once left at his headquarters to be called for, and after it had remained unclaimed two days he posted this notice: "If the cheese sent here addressed to Private Jones is not called for in two days it will be shot."

"How many eggs is a hen wound up to lay during the term of her natural life, do you suppose?" said the man who has investigated. "No idea, eh? Well, sir, a good, healthy hen—not speaking of any particular star breed, but just hen—a good, healthy hen does not fulfill her destiny until she has turned out 600 eggs—50 dozen. That's what nature has fitted up a hen to do in the way of egg, and she gives her eight years to do it in."—Washington Post. 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. District Densely Populated. The District of Columbia has the greatest population a square mile of any section of this country. The figures are slightly more than 3,839. In Alaska there is only one person to ten square miles.

THE FAIR. The first and great Tri-State Negro Industrial Exposition and Fair ever held west of the Mississippi is now in progress in the city of St. Joseph. From reports we learn the Fair is having big crowds and it should prove a good opportunity in bringing together evidences of our inventive genius, products of farm and field and everything that is creditable to the race. Some of America's foremost orators are booked to speak, among them are Senator Foraker, Prof. William T. Vernon, Gov. E. W. Hoch, Bishop Abraham Grant and Prof. Booker T. Washington. We trust the Fair will succeed, yet we understand it has been handicapped a great deal because of so many exhibits sent by our people from this section to the Jamestown Exposition.

Sam Eason founded the old colored folks and orphans home of this city December 1889, and he organized an association of colored women to help him with the work, and he rented a house for the old people at 1214 Highland, and then moved to 1308 Vine street and then it seems that the burden of the home soon fell upon the shoulders of Brother Eason and as he worked hard at brick laying and plastering, he had to invest his time and earnings to aid in protecting the old colored folks home for over ten years, which saved the old colored folks and orphans home from breaking up and going to destruction years ago, and the home was taken from him and moved out to 2446 Michigan avenue. Brother Eason is a lawful member of the Old Colored Folks Home association and should have credit and pay for his ten years' service in the old colored folks home. He should be made president of the home if he wishes it. The Supreme Grand Council of the A. S. & D. of the World, will convene in this city at their headquarters N.

The most remarkable snake combat ever seen in that vicinity was witnessed by Sam Cunningham just north of Paris. A blue racer and a guinea snake, the former 31g feet long and the latter two or three inches shorter, met and began a deadly struggle for the mastery. The guinea snake finally got the head of the other into its mouth and deliberately set about to swallow the entire reptile. It had gotten about 18 inches of the blue racer down when Mr. Cunningham soiled a stick and killed it. He brought the snakes to town and they were viewed by scores of wondering men. The blue racer fitted so tightly into its antagonist's mouth and body that the difference in color was all that enabled a person to tell where one ended and the other began. The fact that the guinea snake was the shorter of the two made its under taking all the more remarkable. The blue racer was dead when Mr. Cunningham interfered. Both snakes were about the same size around the body.

An 1848 Thresher Henry Stultz, of the Richland neighborhood, took the first threshing machine to Callaway in '48 and did the threshing for Callaway farmers for several years, according to the Fulton Sun. The machine was what is known as a "ground hog" for the reason that straw, wheat and chaff were all thrown out together on a big sheet at the back of the machine. The straw had to be "toddled" off with forks, leaving the wheat and chaff, which were afterwards separated by fans. This crude machine, which would seem so primitive now, was the wonder of the county then and marked the first improvement over the old field, which had been used from time immemorial. The charge for threshing was 6 cents per bushel and the average crop in those days about 50 bushels to the family. Wheat bread was a delicate reserved for Sunday dinner only. Mr. Stultz is 44 years old and has lived on the same farm since 1846. Where Corn Is Best. The highest average condition of corn in Missouri is in the northwest section where the season has been more favorable than in any other section. A number of counties in that section show a high average condition compared with the same time last year, and it should be remembered that some of the largest corn producing counties in the state are in that section. The greatest need for the corn crop is sunshine, so that the land can be better cultivated. Large Live Stock Movement Recents of live stock at the Kansas City stock yards in the 31 days of July, with the exception of sheep and horses, were the largest ever recorded in July, under normal conditions. In 1901, the year of the drought, when farmers were forced to dispose of their stock regardless of condition in July receipts were larger. In comparison with July, 1906, there was an increase last month of 28,929 cattle, 4,650 calves, 50,988 hogs and 2,250 cars, and a decrease of 7,492 sheep and 1,532 horses and mules. Last month receipts were 214,000 cattle, 36,000 calves, 258,000 hogs, 89,000 sheep, 3,500 horses and 13,000 carloads of all kinds of stock, averaging 500 cars daily. Want Better Railroad Facilities Kansas City people are still anxious to secure better railroad facilities than they have at this time. Officers of that city have filed a complaint and an application with the board of railroad commissioners asking that six railroad companies enter please be ordered to offer better railroad facilities. Horticulturist Teas is Dead John C. Tees, one of the veteran economist of the state, who is widely known because of his additions to the horticultural world, died at "arth- ase of inflammation of the bladder at the age of 80 years. Money in Berries. There is one man living near Saracoe who has five acres of berries and with them paid off a $1,000 mortgage, $242 interest, paid for his crates, picking, and had some money left, about $150. MONDAY UNIVERSAL WASH DAY. Recognized as Such Over Almost All the World. Why does nearly all the civilized world wash clothes on Monday? What has Monday to do with washing? It was originally the moon's day and was sacred to the queen of night. I read in a schoolboy's history that the Pilgrims landed on Monday and the good women immediately set about washing the clothes that had been soiled on the trip over. We might judge from that alleged fact that no washing was done aboard ship; yet the finest place for such necessary work of sanitation and blessedness is out at sea where there is plenty of water and nearly always a drying wind. The voyage of the little Mayflower lasted 63 days, I believe, and as nearly as we can now reckon the landing was made at Plymouth Rock on a Monday, though some historians insist on Friday. It must have been a vile and filthy vessel on arrival, with 102 passengers and crew going over two months without washing their linen. Linen? What did they wear in 1620? Can you realize how big was the Mayflower? A miserable little tark of 160 tons (Capt. John Smith) or 180 tons (according to Bradford). THE NEW YORK LIFE'S PROGRAM Economy, Publicity and the Paramount Interest of Policyholders. President Kingsley, of the New York Life Insurance Company, says in an address to the policyholders that his plan of administration involves these points: "First: Strict economy; second the widest, fairest and fullest publicity; third, the continuance of the New York Life as a world-wide institution; fourth, such an amount of new business under the law as we can secure while practicing intelligent economy and enforcing the idea that the interest of the policy-holder is paramount." Always in the Way. Recently a country doctor in the north of Ireland, a bachelor, who was locally noted for his bruseness and irascibility, was driving along a nor row lane, or "boreen," when his passage was effectually barred by an old woman, who was returning from the bog leading an ass whose panniers were filled with peats. The woman led the ass to the side of the lane as quickly as she could, but not quickly enough to please the short-tempered doctor. "Faugh!" he exclaimed, with a snort of disgust. "Women and asses are always in the way." "I'm glad ye have the manners to put yourself last," said the old woman, calmly The doctor drove on without another word. Concerning His Business. A Boston lawyer, who brought his wit from his native Dublin, while cross-examining the plaintiff in a divorce trial, brought forth the following: "You wish to divorce this woman because she drinks?" "Yes, sir." "Do you drink yourself?" "That's my business!"—angrily. Whereupon the unmoved lawyer asked: "Have you any other business?"—Everybody's. Watching the Knife Play "There is an awful fascination about seeing people eat with their knives," said he who has just spent a week on the farm for this health with a retrospective look in his eyes. "A knife is such an unexpected instrument. You never know just where it is going to strike. You can't keep your eyes off. You are afraid to look for fear it might slip and cut the mouth half in two, and you are afraid if you don't look it might happen and you won't get to see it." SOAKED IN COFFEE Until Too Stiff to Bend Over. "When I drank coffee I often had sick headaches, nervousness and biliousness much of the time, but when I went to visit a friend I got in the habit of drinking Postum. "I gave up coffee entirely and the result has been that I have been entirely relieved of all my stomach and nervous trouble. "My mother was just the same way We all drink Postum now, and without coffee in the house for 2 years, we are all well. "A neighbor of mine, a great coffee drinker, was troubled with pains in her side for years and was an invalid She was not able to do her work and could not even mend clothes or do anything at all where she would have to bend forward. If she tried to do a little hard work she would get such pains that she would have to lie down for the rest of the day. "At last I persuaded her to stop drinking coffee and try Postum Food Coffee and she did so and has used Postum ever since; the result has been that she can now do her work, can sit for a whole day and mend and can sew on the machine and she never feels the least bit of pain in her side, in fact, she has got well and it shows coffee was the cause of the whole trouble. "I could also tell you about several other neighbors who have been cured by quitting coffee and using Postum in its place." "There's a Reason."

Do you mean to tell me that your engagement with Fred is off? Edyth—Certainly not. Why? Mayme—He's a dentist, you know. —Chicago Daily News. "But aren't you frightened to drive your motor-car yourself?" "Gracious, no! It's the people I meet who are frightened." Voice of Experience. "In mailing an article to a magazine," asked the literary tyro, "is there any peculiar way of arranging the stamps so as to convey the idea to the editor that I am an old hand" "You bet there is," answered Percolum. "He sure to arrange enough of them on the inside to prepay the return postage, if you expect ever to see the article again."—Chicago Tribune. Possible Explanation: Said He—A scientist affirms that a woman's voice ascends to more than twice the height attained by a man's. Said She—That probably accounts for it. Said He—Accounts for what? Said he—accounts for what? Said She—The fact that most men let their wives do all the praying for the family.—Chicago Daily News. Stuck. "If you don't want to go into a permanent decline," announced the physician, after making a careful examination, "you will have to tear yourself away from your business entirely." "That's pretty hard to do, doctor," said his caller. "I am a manufacturer of porous plasters."—Chicago Tribune. TOO SHORT-WAISTED. A Lady—Good morning. I left my bathing dress here yesterday by mistake; may I have it, please? Bathing Man—This the one, miss?—The Tatler. All Right. "What does McDobbs call his series of pictures of the moonshiners of the Kentucky mountains?" "Studies in still life, I believe." ADVICE MUCH NEEDED. He entered the meteorological service office and said, abruptly, "This'res' where you give out weather predictions, ain't it?" The clerk nodded. "Well," continued the old man, "I thought as how I could come up an' give you some tips." "Indeed!" said the clerk politely. "Yes; I've figured on it a little, an' I find that ye ain't always right." "No; we sometimes make mistakes." "Course you do. We all do sometimes. Now, I was thinkin' as how a line that used to be on the auction handbills down in our county might do fustrate on your weather predictions, an' save you a lot of explainin'." "What was the line?" "Wind and weather permittin'" He went down without waiting to say good-bye. LIFELIKE. Lytesite—So poor Jones, the toy maker, has gone out of his mind! Struppes—Yes! He had been busy for three months on a mechanical tramp, and he couldn't get it to work Not for Him. "You didn't seem to be particularly interested in Miss Perkleson," said the invertebrate matemaker. "I had hoped you would like her." "I liked her pretty well," replied the widower, "and she was very entertaining and all that, but I noticed that she had a projecting chin. My first wife had that kind. It's a pity that so pretty a woman should be disfigured in that way."—Chicago Record Herald. Enlishing a Superior Motive "It's years since I've seen your wife around so much. She has always been more or less of an invalid, hasn't she?" "Yes; but I thought it nonsense, so I told her that I would increase her allowance, she to pay her doctor's bills. She hasn't had a doctor since nor been to his office. You see, she must have clothes. Great scheme that. It's a sure cure for fashion abie invalidism—Judge Doctor—My motto is "Be sure you're right, then go ahead. Merchant—Mine is somewhat different; it’s “Be sure you get ahead, then you can make it right.”—Philadephia Telegraph. Keeping Them Under Friend—One of your clerks tells me you raised his salary and told him to get married, under penalty of discharge. Business Man—Yes; I do that to all my clerks when they get old enough to marry. I don't want any of your independent, conceited men about my place. His Fatal Mistake. Fred—So she turned you down, eh? Joe—Yes. I made the mistake of confessing that my heart was in my mouth when I proposed. Fred—What had that to do with it? Joe—Oh, she said she couldn't think of marrying a man whose heart wasn't in the right place—Chicago Daily News. Advice Reciprocated.

Finney county has a prospect of getting $119.39 from the national government. This is to be available, according to the notification given Governor Hoch, as a result of what is known as the agricultural appropriation act of 1908, approved March 4, 1907. This act provides that 10 per cent of all money received from each forest reserve during any fiscal year, including the year ending June 30, 1906, shall be paid to the state or territory in which such reserves shall be situated by the secretary of the treasury, the same to be expended for roads and schools in the county or counties where such reserves may be. The receipts for Garden City are shown to be $1,193.93. Hatch Chickens with Gas The latter part of last winter the Excelsior Brick company tried the experiment of hatching chickens in incubators heated by natural gas, That the project has passed the experimental stage and has proven a success a trip to their poultry ranch on the north side of West mound will show. The present quarters consist of a row of brick buildings nearly 300 feet long, with commodious yards on each side in which there are now ranging 7,000 chickens. These vary in size from little wee, fluffy fellows, just out of the egg, to yellow legged cockerels, like those that used to send such a thrill of joy through the heart of the epicurean circuit rider in the long ago. Names Live Stock Inspectors. John B. Baker, live stock sanitary commissioner, has issued a circuit relative to the inspection of cattle in the western part of the state with reference to the disease known as scables or mange. Inspectors have been named as follows. H. O. Douglas, Oberlin; Wm. A. Davidson, Colby; A. A. Miller, Grainfield; Fred Shultz, Scott City; Paul Rich, Coolidge; W. A. Custer, Toluca; L.

Baseball at a Chautauqua One of the unique features of the Lincoln Park Chautauqua, which holds its ninth annual assembly at the park two miles west of Cawker City Aug. 10 to 25, is a baseball tournament for the Lincoln Park loving cup. Two years ago this cup was won by Stockton and last year by Ionia. Already about a dozen teams have signified their intention of entering the competition this year. None but local teams are permitted in the cup series, professionalism being discouraged by a rule which permits a man to play with but one team during the season. Hawaii's Active Head The active head of the Hawaiian islands at Washington is George B. McCellan of Ablene, who was recently at home on a visit returning from Honolulu where he has been with a party of congressmen. Mr. McCellan went to the islands as a real estate agent and finally became the private secretary of Prince Kubio, who is the regularly elected delegate to congress. Labor Temple for Wichita. A movement is well under way to erect a union labor temple in Wichita. The scheme has been talked of for some time and is meeting with considerable favor. Fresh Country Eggs A case of eggs, billed from a small town near Coffeyville to Fort Scott was unloaded from a car at the Missouri Pacific station for transfer to a Fort Scott local freight. When the eggs were standing in the ware room the freight house clerks were surprised to hear a noise in the case. They opened the case and out jumped six little chickens. The heat and age of the eggs had combined in doing the trick. The chickens were removed and the balance of the eggs sent on to their destination for the market. Willing to Take Chances. Gomer T. Davies, who has a wooden leg, says: "An army paymaster had to have one of his arms amputated because of blood poison resulting from handling tainted money. The editor of this dinky daily newspaper is pretty badly crippled already, but we are willing to risk the necessity of wearing an artificial arm too by handling the money due us from the delinquent subscribers—tainted or not tainted. Kansas Drilling Rigs for Mexico. Kansas Drilling Rigs for Mexico. Outfits for drilling artesian wells in Mexico are being turned out of the Chanute shops of the Star Drilling Machine company and its employees have all they can do to fill the orders that are coming in. Mexico is like western Kansas—there is plenty of excellent land there, but the rainfall is not sufficient to insure good crops. The owners of the large ranches and the companies which are colonizing the land are drilling wells for irrigation purposes and most of the rigs are being sent from Chanute. For Batter or Worse. A census-taker made his rounds in an isolated village. He gave one of his official papers to a woman that she might fill in the required answers. One of the questions, instead of reading "Married or single," had it "Condition as to marriage." The woman filled in the answer thus: "Awful hard up before. Wuss after." That an article may be good as well as cheap, and give entire satisfaction, is proven by the extraordinary sale of Defiance Starch, each package containing one-third more Starch than can be had of any other brand for the same money. Passive. Bill—Did you say he has horse sense? Jill—No; why, he hasn't even got mule sense. I never knew him to kick in his life!—Yonkers Statesman. Growth of New York.

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 Civillhood 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, 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. 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 hearty 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. 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 Kirkfield 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. 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 League 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.
