"XVork I2vcry where.
lltsbon Tanner of the African Methodist
KpUcopal church writes thus in the Indepen
dent : As to the moral nnd religious unfitness -
ness of two-thirds of the colorcit ministry of
the country , especially those of the south
and of tlio Methodist nnd Baptist persua
sion. In the vices peculiar to a slave or pro
scribed condition , ttio per cent of moral and
religious unfltness Is possibly high , exactly
how high \vo are not prepared to say. But
without argument wo arc ready to admit ,
huninn tiaturo being equal , ft per cent sadly
high ; possibly the nil swooping sixty-sir and
a third ai It has boon put by Bishop Payno.
But , of course , wo do not think so ; anil after
having gene in and out among these brethren
for full thirty years. To tiauio these vices ,
the vices , remember , that nro peculiar to
slavery and In wnich stuto they may bo ra
tionally supposed largely to exist , is quito un
necessary. It U sufficient to say that llko all
vicesthey nro peculiarly obnoxious to men of
rellncd manners and lofty moral ! ) . But It Is
not'nsKlng too much of this class of persons ,
to remcmuor In tlio heat of their IndiKiiution
against the vices peculiar to n slave state
that the free state tlio state of culture , of
business , of government , especially the stale
of authority and power , has vices peculiar to
It also. * * The tact Is , as wo consider
this charge of the Intellectual unfitness of
the colored ministry , wo almost feel HUe giv
ing a warm and vehcmcin Methodist amen to
Kather Ignatius when ho says : "Tho human
reason Is n puny Hi hit' , when a bottle of
brandy can emphatically obliterate It. Lob
reason go to thu devil , wo will uopond on the
Holy Ghost , and the spirit of enthusiasm
with which Ho charges us. "
Tlio Dear Ijiltlo Acolyte.
Ho was the dearest llttlo ncolyto In the lot.
Ho had big , blno eyes and crisp yellow curls.
Moreover , ho was monslKiior's pot , nnd ho
know all about the onerous duties of the
acolyte. From the "Introlbo ad altnro Dol"
to trio last nmea In the "Do prof umlls" he had
all the responses at his ringers' ends , and as
for swinging tlio golden thurible decorously
or holdhnr n candle with graceful ease why
there was not another llttlo boy In twenty
parishes that could ever hope to surpass
him.
It was Sunday. Ho looked like a picture
In his scarlet gown and nurnlico of ruflles
and lace. While the other fathers were rob-
Ing monsigiior ho could not resist smiling on
the llttlo fellow , us ho stood whispering
earnestly to the other tiny acolyuw In the
vestry.
"Tho dear llttlo lad , " ejaculated the holy
man 5 "how * good ho Is. how pious In his en
thusiasm 1" The other father bowed aud
said : "Yos , monsignor , ho Is meant for the
holv priesthood. "
what wns the little acolyte doing , you say ?
Listen and see , says the San Francisco Ex
aminer.
"I'll give you the t'uriblo for 15 cents , " ho
was just remarking to ono wco comrade.
"Done with you , Jimmy , " rospoedcd the
party of the second part , as ho handed forth
a dime and nickel'
Then the subllmo slrccuro of Inconse-hold-
er was sold oft for a dhno ; then the two sub
sidiary ofllccs of attendants , who did nothing
tmt kneel up in the foreground nmLmako
themselves generally useful during the
solemn ceremony of high mass.
\Vhon that great prize , the gong , came to
bo disposed of , the competition was keen and
great.
The slnccuro sold for a straight quarter.
The peed little ncolyto with 05 cents In his
pocket marched into church with a candle in
his hand , the last ou tholino of servers.
\Vhon mass was cvor nnd the monsignor
was unrobing himself , ho turned to his assis
tant fathers again
"Have you observed , " ho asked ; "havoyou
observed our llttlo son's divine humility 1 Ho
knows moro than all the others , yet gives
himself a position the lowliest on the line. "
"Ho Is truly not of the world , but of heav
en , " responded the fathers.
"DeoGratlasl" fervently ejaculated mon
signor.
At the Door.
Kite Field In
I thought myself Indeed secure ,
So fast the door , so Jlrm the lock ;
Hut , lot ho toddling comes to lure
My parent ear with timorous knock.
My heart wcro stoao could it withstand
The sweetness of my baby's plea ,
That timorous , baby knocking , and ,
" 1'loaso let uio In ; it's only mo. "
I throw aside the unfinished book ,
Ucgardless of its tempting charms ,
And , opening wide the door , I took
My laughing darling In my arms.
Who knows but In eternity
I , like a truant child , shall wait
The glories of a llfo to be ,
Beyond the Iloivouly Father's Gatol
And will that Heavenly Father heed
The truant's supplicating cry ,
As at the outer door I plo.id ,

A llttlo pot of mlgnonctto stood In thu win
dow of a crowded tenement , s > avs the San
Francisco Examlnur. A poor woman bent
ovoritand tenderly plucked a withered loaf
from its fresh green crown. The sun shone
gayly on the blue bay , aud the woman stood
watching the llttlo glint of dancing water.
She could jus > t see between the houses. She
put a tiny sprig of the faded mlgnonotto In
her faded dress , and took down her shabby
bonnet. Then snu walked as far as she could
to pet n good breath of fresh air. She passed
n church door standing , open , ana heard a
burst of music. So she wtmdered timidly in
and sat humbly down In n quiet corner. The
altar was fair with flowers. The woman
drew a ( loop breath of delight when she saw
the lilies.
A man took hold of her arm. "You're in
.some one's pew , " ho said roughly.
The woman rose nervously. 'jl'in sorry , "
she stammered. "Whero nro the f'reo
seats I"
Thcro ain't no free seats in this church , "
sneered the man.
The woman hurried out , She put her thin
bauds upon the bunch of mlgnonotto. Tlio
clergyman was nnnouncinc his toxt. She
just hoard it as she passed throuch the
swinging doors :
"Ho was despised rejected n man of sorrow
row and acquainted with grief. "

Kov. Dr. E. ICompshall , the pastor of the
First Presbyterian church In Elizabeth , is
fixed In his determination that tliero shall bo )
no moro betting on the race tracks In Now
Jersey , particularly on Dwyer's track at
Elizabeth. Dr. Kempshall Is president of
the Now Jersey law mm order league. Ho
speaks for tlio league , nnd ho spoke very los
itively to a reporter who mot him on n I'apn-
sylvanla railroad ferryboat. The reverend
doctor has no objection to racing. On the
contrary , ho rather likes it ; but hs objects
to gambling on races und declares that it
must stop. Among other things ho said : "In [

Kant Day a Furcc.
Puritanical Boston clings to the old-time

Commercial Advertiser. Tntit Is tosay.it

melancholy , but It falls to wrap itself up In
the gloomy garment. It rather turns It In

end then dashing the 'frlriison paint of ploaa-
uro about lt edges , frjMfsand gambols under
the bright fringes , rnrjjfully keeping , however -

veritable holiday , not a holy day. Our sonsi-
hlo clergymen are recognizing this fact. The
Hov. Ur. W. B. Urlflls , the well known
author of books on Jqpan. and pastor of the
old Shawtnut Congregational church , de
clared to his people : ' ' "I have hero the gov
ernor's ' fast day proclamation , but t shall not
road It , for I know that very few of you will
observe It. " Another clergyman , a Uaptlst
tr.lnistcr , proclaimed the present fast day n
face. So it ROCS. No ono with honesty pretends

The late Dr. A. 1C. Potter once observed
that our Baptist churches were ceasing to
expect conversions after Batter Sunday , that
that date concluded the aggressive work of
the churches for the year , and that spring
botincU and summer vacation then loomed
Into prominence , says the Boston Watch
man. Tliero Is too much truth in this racy
remark , Boston since the llrst of January
has been stirred up by n number of special
agencies. Wo have had Mr. Moody almost
dally at the Temple , the Eplscopallaus have
sustained their Lenten services with moro
than usual Interest , nnd after Kastor Sunday
Mr. Moody's work closed , the episcopalians
will hold no moro daily services , nnd the
special meetings in various city and country
churches will bo stopped. * * * But this
sudden drop Is all wrong. It contributes to
tlio reaction which these special services of
themselves tend to provoke. It emphasises
a pernicious distinction of times nnd seasons ,
Wo believe that the true plan for our
churches Is to go right on with their aggres
sive work even If Eater Sunday is over , and
to do all they can throughout the spring as
well as through ttio winter toward ormging
men to Ctirlst , Nntur.illy the special meet
ings will bo fewer , but that need not make
them loss oiTcctlvo.

1'sr a.i editorial entitled , "Pray for the
Preachers , " urging all Catholics to pr.iy for
the Protestant preachers who do not know

to bo eminently Christian. "Even If some of
these preachers continue to curse and revile
us , wo shall have dene ourpirt as Christians ;
and God's blessing will follow ttioso who ful
fill the precepts of praying for their ene

Vork , n judge , pronouncing a sentence of
death on a youthful murderer , added , with
emotion , the words , "And may the Lord
have mercy on your soul. " Affected by this
touch of sympathy , the young man nt the bar

The ninth international conference of the

great success. The United States and every
European country is represented , nnd Italian

unprecedented demonstration. Thirty years
ago Florence was the scOne of bitter secta

priest-ridden government to stop the Protest

the fact that Cathollo .King Humbert has ex

Monastery.
In Balaclava preparations are being made
to celebrate the thousandth anniversary of
the monastery of St.'Goorgus. The exact
date of the establishment of the monastery is
is not known , but it is known positively that
It was founded before the year 891. Legend
says that its founders were Greek sailors ,
whoso vessel had been wrecked on f.ho rocks ,
to whom St. Goorgius appeared on the roclt
where the monastery now stands , saving
them from the turbulent waters. During the
Crimean war the monastery was held by the
French , who would not allow the monks to
stop outside of its high walls , but otherwise
treated thorn with duo respect.

Saturday evening runs thus :

GOOD FOR A "STUETOH. "
ISnil Man Collins Will Ho Sent to
Canyon City.
Detective McAndrews of Denver arrived
in the city last evening and will take back J.
.T. ' Collins , the notorious crook nnd "strong
arm" man arrested hero
Wednesday by De
tectives Haze and Ellis.
Collins is a powerful follow , standing six
feet ono inch in his stockings , and is ono of
the boldest highwaymen who ever operated
in ii i this section of the country. Ho Is now
under ii indictment in Denver on six counts for
highway i robucry , and the authori
ties t thcro claim to have a sure case
In i each Instance. Collins was arrested
several weeks ago by Detective McAndrews
but managed to cscapo through certain pecu
liar I nnd as yet unexplained actions on the
part of some of the county ofllcials , who have
been placed in a rather ticklish position on
this account.
After Collins' arrest , ho was hold to the
district court in the sum of $0,000 , and in default -
fault of hall was scut to the countv Jail.
Although the bond was llxcd at ? 0,000 by the
police magistrate , ho was released on 81,000
ball , nnd the man who signed the bond was
not worlh $100. His release was kept .secret
from the police ; m fact , it was known only
to the few parties interested. Although re
leased on February : i3 , the police did not
learn of it until March 20.
In the mcnntimo highway robberies had
again bccomo numerous and In every case the
description given was that of Collins. It
was frequently remarked at headquarters
that If Collins was not locked up in the county
juil It would 1)3 an easy mutter to pick out the
guilty party , but it was not suspected that ho
had secured his liberty. It was llnally
learned that ho was out and Detective Mc
Andrews again started after him. Collins
heard of It and at once skipped to this city ,
where ho was approuended.
A moro dejected man than Collins was
when MoAndrows walked up to his cell door
last evening It would bo hard to find. He
could hardly bo blninod for It as tenor lifteen
years in the penitentiary is not u pleasant
subject for contemplation.
Collins was assisted In several of his rob
beries by a partner named Kennedy , who has
just been sent to the penitentiary.
Collins was startllngly bold in his opera
tions , nnd went so far as to hold up a man at
11 o'clock In the forenoon and relieve him of
a fine gold watch. Nearly nil of his victims
were robbed of "yellow supers , " as supcrllno
gold watches are designated In crooks' par
lance.
Young Collins is well known by the Omaha
police , ns he was born nnd raised here , and
his near relatives are well-to-do people of this
city. Ho has caused the police a great deal
of trouble , and now carries a pistol ball in his
leg ns the result of a midnight encounter
with ex-Constable William Stadelman.
Collins and other members of the gantr were
trying to get some stolen goods across the
river , and the pfllcor surpiised them under
the Union Pncillo bridge. Tliero was bad
blood existing between them und the touphs
thought the opportunity favorable for ad
ministering u severe beating , but the ofllcor
drew his gun nud opened n fusillade that
found at least ono human target.
The Denver officer will leave for homo
with his prisoner tomorrow morning , and ho
assures the local authorities that It will bo a
long tlmo before Collins will bother thorn
again.
