THANKS TO OMAHA’S MINISTERS I wish to thank all of the Colored minister;, of the city who made it pos sible to afford Dr. N. H. B. Cassell the privilege of presenting his mes sage to our people in Omaha and re gret only that his stay was so short as to make it impossible for him to have been the guest at all of our churches. Doctor Cassell was very pleased with the spirit of the race in Omaha and appreciated their generous dona tions for Liberian education. GEORGE WELLS PARKER. DEATH OF MRS.

Whether or no* pi* devotion to her, which Inspired ail his '.ova poetry and set a standard for ages to come, was Inspired by any passion of the heart Is firmly disputed.
