FRlLLS OF FASHION.

Variations in children's gowns bios.
som out from time to time. even though
they are very slight, and small girls
rival their mothers In their ambition
to keep up tO date.
Soft wool materials make up very
prettily in this way. In figured French
flannel the collar may be made of the
same and trimmed with rows of narrow
braid or velvet ribbon. Skirts of the
small gowns are usually plain, but the
older girls have some sort of trimming,
either tucks. stitched bands, ruffles or
velvet folds, stitched on.
The long wasted mode, in which the
waist line rounds down low in front,
Is conspicuously evident among tho
gowns for girls over 10 years of age,
and the small gowns for dainty little
girls Of 6 initiate this fashion as much
rs possible by having the long waist
Ill around. Guimpe dresses, which
never seem to go out Of style, are suit
able for all ages. from to the more
mature years of middle age.
Bolero jackets are very popular in
the kingdom of small costumes, and the
attempt 10 prOduce the erect OF stOls
ends is seen in one little gown, where
narrow lace revers are carried down the
entire length of the front, as shown In
the illustration. Another pretty effect
is made by two box piaits in front, one
at either side from the yoke to the
hem, and two in the back, giving a
long effect to the waist, which is de-
fined with narrow velvet belt ending
in small velvet rosettes at either side
of the front on the plaits. The skirt
gathers on to the waist between the
plaits, which apparently are contin-
uation of those in the waist A sailor
collar of lace covers the shoulders In
the back and opens in front over =
yoke Of tucked white silk or batiste.
Thin gowns Of point d'esprIt foc party
wear are variously trimmed with
ruches, ruffles, lace insertion and rows
Of colored satin ribbon. A pretty feat
ure Of the small girls costume is the
coat and hat to match.-New York

THE NATIONAL NEGRO
B BUSINESS LEAGUE TO
NET IN CHICAGO.


NET IN CHICAGO.
After full consideration and
consultation with the officials of
the National Negro Business.
League and friends throughout
the country, it has been decided
to call the next session of the
League to meet at Chicago, Ills,
Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day, August II, ~ and %.
It is generally conceded that
the meeting held in Boston last
August was one of the most sue
cessful gatherings ever held in
the history of the race, and that
it gave an encouragement and
impetus to the race in all lines of
business in way that is now APP
parent in all parts of the country.
Any person engaged in any
commercial enterprise or properly
delegated to represent any indi-
vidua1 or individuals engaged in
commercial enterprise, is entitled
to membership under such regu-
lations as may be adopted. Wom-
en- as well as men engaged in
business should be represented.
1t is strongly urged that Local
Leagues be established in every
part of the country where no
such leagues now exist and those
already organized be strength
ened wherever necessary, and
that these local leagues send del
egates, so far as possible to the
National organization, and keep
in close touch during the year
with the officers of the National
organization; that these local or
ganizntions hold meetings month
ly as far as practical; that every
thing possible be done in these
local organizations to discourage
complicated and useless parlia-
mentiary machinery, and that
parliamentary and technical dis
cussions be avoided, as far as pos
sible, with a view to concentra-
ting time and strength on the
real objects of the organization.
It is the desire of the officers of
our people as we'll as of the per-
persons engaged in business.
These photographs should show
both outside and inside views as
far as possible, and they should
be forwarded to the President of
the League at Tuskegee, Ala
bama, as early as convenient.
The time has come for the race
to take a long step forward in
establishing itself permanently
and more generally in the busi-
ness of the community where it
resides.
Let no Legislation or attempted
legislation discourage or dis
hearten us. There should be no
doubling or hating. Every move
should be a forward one. To|
gain recognition and success we
may have to struggle harder and
longer than others, but out of the
very struggle we shall gain a
strength that we can get in no
other way. The influence and
power of intelligence, high char
acter and high standing in the
business world, are sure to place
the race IN the end in a position
where it will be honored and
treated with justice in every part
of the land. Let our watchword
constantly be, FORWARD"

GENERAL ANDRES VISIT.
Occasion of a Little Franco-American
Demonstration.

PARIS, Aug. 30.-The visit yesterday
of General Andre, minister of war, to
the United States training ship Hart
ford, which had put into LaRochelle to
witness the western army maneuvers,
was the occasion of a little Franco
American demonstration.
After an inspection of the cadets, who
were drawn up on deck, and being
shown over the vessel, General Andre
was entertained at luncheon. He ex.
pressed keen satisfaction at being aboard
an American ship and said he hoped the
visit would contribute to the tightening
of the bonds of friendship uniting the
sailors of the two nations.
Commander John M. Hawley of the
Hartford, in response, thanked General
Andre for the honor of his unexpected
visit and promised to inform his gov.
ernment Of it. The ships band then
played the "Marseillaise' and Gamer
ica."
A banquet was given in the evening,
at which all the admirals and generals
were present, and to which the Ameri-
can officers were invited, General Andre
sitting with Admiral Menard, COM
manding the northern squadron, on his
right, and Commander Hawley on his

MISSOURI MAN HUNT
IS STILL IN PROGRESS
Armed Men and BIoodhounds
After Francis.
THE STAKE AWAITS HIM

People of Two Counties Are Intensely
Aroused and Most Determined
Search Is Being Prosecuted-No OPP
pOrtunity For the Negroes Escape.
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 3O.-Armed men
and bloOdhounds again this morning
took up the search, 40 miles south of
Kansas City, for Bessie Francis, the
murderer of Miss Mary Henderson. Not.
withstanding the failure of the mob yes
terday, after they had apparently had
him in the tolls, the man hnnt that has
been kept up in two counties for the
past 48 hours, was resumed today with
renewed vigor and will be continued
until the negro is finally run down.
A counsel of Francis pursuers has al
ready decided that his punishment shall
be meted out at the stake. w. O. Hyatt,
Miss Henderson's brother in law, ap-
proves of this method Of dealing with
the negro.
II want him to be brought here to the
scene of his crime" said Mr.. Hyatt. at
Columbus, this morning. ''where he can
make confession. [ want him TO know
how many years we cared for him and
kind Mary was to him and ask him why
he killed her. Then when he has an
swered that, / want to see him burned. "
win you apply the match?' was
asked.
81 will Go something" he replied
with energy.
Ihe mob this morning was without
positive clue to work upon, but there
was general belief that Francis was
still hiding, or around, the negro min
Ing settlement Of Blackwater, miles
north of Holden. Last night armed
men searched the negro quarters i'll
Holden and other nearby towns. but
without avail Today systematic
search of the negro settlements in the
country between Odessa, in Lafayette
county, south of Holden, and Warrens-
burg, in Johnson county, will be made.
Governor Dockery today offered re.
ward of $500 for the capture of the MUIR
derer and the Johnson county officials
offered a reward of 500.
