AN EVANGELICAL COLOR LINE
Has Been Drawn at the Moody Revival in
Washington-Tbe COlOred People
Indignant Over the Matter.

Special to the Sentinel.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. ia good deal OF
feeling has been manifested by members of
colored churches here because the managers
OF the meetings held By Moody, the great
evangelist, have drawn the color line in their
programme, by failing to give the pastors Of
colored churches their proportionate share
of admission tickets.
An awkward attempt was made to smooth
the matter over by appointing q meeting
exclusively for colored people, but this only
made matters worse. Many white members
of churches are very indignant over the
seeming un-Ohristian pandering to race
prejudice, and hundreds Of them would not
have attended the meetings at all II they
had not been satisfied that Mr.. Moody ab-
hors such Difference to prejudices at war
with the true spirit of Christianity.
While the meetings have been very sue.
cessful and interesting, there is no doubt
but that this unfortunate faux pas has shorn
them of much of their usefulness. The
meetings are being held at the Congrega'
tional Church, which is largely supported
by people in official position, and here are
those who say that the slight of the colored
brethren was not an oversight.

A Great Many designations Expected
When the New Cabinet Is Formed.

Special to the Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-It is believed that
Notwithstanding the general greed for Office
and the love there is entertained for position
here, that when the new Cabinet is formed
in March most of the men holding promi-
nent places will tender their designations and
svoid the embarrassments that must ensue
in asking for designations. Naturally the
changes in the important places will be very
rapid until there are many new men put in,
because the higher positions are all more or
less confidential and closely related to the
Cabinet officers, who will want men OF their
own ideas beside them.

General Grant Said to be Aging Very
Rapidly.

Rapidly.
Special to the Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Along with the
talk about the probability Of General Grant
being placed on the retired list during the
past week, has been some comment upon bis
mental and physical condition. A gentle
man who has conversed with the General
during the three days Just past,
told us to-day that Congress may
be called upon very soon to
pass resolution of respect to his memory
instead of bill to give him rank and pay in
the army. He said the Genera is quite
gray; that there are deep furrows in his face
and a fullness about his eyes. making him
the picture of despair at times. General
Grant, he said, seldom smiles, and seems to
take little interest in anything except talk-
ing over his battles with mis- old war friends.

vices for the young people. The
pastor did not preach regular
sermon in the morning as was ex-
pected, but made an appeal IN IA
vor of paying off the debt of the
church, which amounts to 1900.
Some $1,000 was raised, which,
with the amount of assets on hand,
liquidates about 1000 of the in
debtness of the church. The bal
ance is being raised, and will be
finished easily during the year.
During the last year the pastors
salary has been paid, and the Ia
dies, of both the young and old
societies, have raised for various
purposes about $3.50. Thefchurch
has increased in membership, and
the Sunday-school and congrega-
ton have grown largely, the Sun
day-school itself having become
self-sustaining. The church is
greatly encoura ged, and will enter
vigorously upon its new years

INCONSISTENT.

1t looks rather inconsistent, says
the Albany Medium, for the grand
jury of county to make a raid
on the gamblers, and a town in the
same county to license wheels-of-
fortune and other games of chance.
Almost every week something of
this sort is seen on the streets of
Albany, surrounded by a crowd Of
men and boys, of all ages and all
shades of complexion, taking a
chance with as much eagerness as
any, gambler feels at faro bank.
If, as good people tell us, there
are no degrees in sin, then there
are certainly none in gambling.
1t it be sin to stake thousand
dollars on a game of cards, it is
equally as wicked to take a ten
cent "chance" at church rattle.

A NEW MORMON COLONY.

DALLAS, TEXAS, January 1O.-
Elders Jos. Kimley and Samuel
Whitestone, of the Mormon faith,
passed west via the Texas and Pa

proselytes, eight women, six men
and three children, enroute to a
new Mormon colony near Cruises,
in the state of Sonora, old Mexico,
on the West Sonora railroad, nea1
the shores on the Gulf of Califor.
MIA. The name of the new colony
Elder Kimley stated, is Mount

prophet, Brigham Young, and the
establishment of which is the. re.
suit of the severe treatment the
Mormons are receiving from the
United States in Utah. The pros.
elytes are from Georgia. 1t was
