the capture of Jesse James, dead or alive.

of every law-abidlng man in tho United States.
This talk of capturing Jesse James alive is all
rot. 1t could not be done. 1 am for Critten-

Another Missourlan was asked what he
thought about 1t:
~ am opposed to assassination under any
and all circumstances" was his answer"
"Have you seen the photograph OF the dead
outlaw ?"
81 have"
"Does it resemble Jesse James p
81 have been taught to believe that the
leopard could not change Its spots but IL the
photograph that Governor Crittenden has on
exhibition is n true picture of the killed man.
and the killed man is Jesse James, am now
ready TO assert that the leopard story is a
fraud, and that Bob Ingersoll breaches the
true religion"
"Did you know Jesse James?"
"Better than know YOU"
April 3?"
'"well, will be able to give you better an
swer after awhile. II he was killed, Tom
Crittenden had better lookout for his scalp; !;

BishOps.

The bishops of the African NJ. Z. Church and
tho bishops Of the Colored NJ. E. Church of
America have arranged to hold joint meeting
at Bethel Church, in Baltimore, on Wednesday,
26th Of this month. The object OF tho meeting
will be TO take into consideration the import
ance OF organic union. The African NJ. E.
Church was formed in Philadelphia in 1916.
The first bishop was Richard Allen, who was
born a slave in the State of Delaware and

ganized in 1871 by the bishops of the NJ. E.
Church South. They have four bishops and
several annual conferences. AS both are the
same in doctrine and government, 1t is

united. The meeting will be one of some IN
terest because IL VIII be step toward uniting
the colored Methodist bodies of the country.

Horace GreeIey's Daughter Ida.


The news that Horace Greeley's daughter
Ida was dead was as much a topic of conYersa-
tion throughout the city yesterday as though
some prominent public character had sud
denly died. She was the eldest daughter of
the famous editor and the wife of Colonel
Nicholas Smith, OF Kentucky. Ida was born
at her fathers city residence In East Nine
teenth street about thirty years ago. When
she was three years old he bought his farm at
Chappaqua, where he used to enjoy frequent
vacations from his labors In the city She was
sent TO the Convent OF the Sacred Heart to
be educated and became converted to the
Catholic religion, TO which she ever after
ward clung. Ida's younger sister Gabrielle
was educated at the Protestant Sisterhood OF
st. Marys, and she, too, till this day, Is most
deyout church woman. During the ten years
that preceded her death the wife of Horace
Greeley was an invalid, and Ida dlstin-
guished herself by the untirlng care and at.
tention which she devoted 10 her mother. Sh6
grew up TO be the mistress OF the house, a po-
sition which, In 1872, when her father was
candidate for the Presidency, came TO be
dlncult one. The house at Chappaqua dur
ing the fall OF 1872 was constantly Visited by
all sorts OF people, from the first public men
OF The country down to the most eccentric OF
cranks. But the young lady of the house had
no trouble with any of them. She seemed 10
know instinctiyely how 10 entertain each new
conner. Colonel Smith, and his Wife were In
tending TO sail for Europe ON May I, which
would bo the seventh anniversary OF their
marriage. His wife became affected with
core throat on Wednesday last, and on the
| Sunday following her physician discovered
that she had diphtheria. Miss Gabrielle
| Greeley has been living with her sister three
years, and was present when she died.

subject Of his lecture already announced, and

ancient town, is able to speak OF him with the
freshness and charm Of personal acquaintance,
while the Doctors own gifts as n writer and
