The fact that colored persons in Orlando ats
tended the Central Avenue Methodist church
called forth protest from some of the white
members of the congregation, and this
drew from the pastor, the Rev. P. j. Reeves,
the following letter: now wish to inform
the people of Orlando that have not been
sent here into your town for the purpose Of
harmonixing the two classes of colored and
white into church fellowship, not by any
means, and neither do intend to attempt
any such thing. As only have the very
best interest for the people, shall not allow
them to keep back any who may desire to
worship with MS or bring their friends to our
meetings. Therefore, from this date, no
colored person will be allowed to attend the
Methodist Episcopal church services Of

There are some notable deserters from the
Democratic ranks this year. A recent one is
George w. Jones of Iowa. Mr.. Jones is
eighty-fye years old or thereabout. He and
Augustus Caesar Dodge were United States
Senators from Iowa forty years ago and when
the political revolution in that State come
years later restored them to private life Mr..
Jones was sent as minister to New Granada
and Mr.. Dodge to Spain. But Mr.. Jones'
public life began much further back. He
was clerk of the United States district court
for Missouri in 1926, was an aide-de- camp In
the Black Hawk war, a major general of
militia, delegate to Congress from the terri
tory of Michigan, appointed by Van Buren
surveyor general of the northwest territory,
removed from that Office by President Harri-
son and restored to it by President Polk.
What we may call his last appearance in pub
lie life was made in Massachusetts, in 1871,
when he was arrested for disloyalty and con-
fined for time in Fort Warren.
According to writer in the Liverpool
Post it is not the least part of the Prince OF

he is not mobbsd. What in past years has
annoyed the Prince has been the slavish imi-
tation of his dress affected by the mashers
and dudes, more especially the latter, who
are of American birth. Last year he took
effectual means for putting stop to this fol-
ly. Immediately on his arrival the old order
of things prevailed. The cut of his coat, the
pattern of his waistcoat, the shade OF his
necktie, were sedulously copied. Then a
happy idea occurred to the Prince. He or
dered from some unknown source hideous
suit of dirty, blanket-hued tweed. He put
on red shirt with aiblue collar; wore a soft
felt, low crowned, cream colored hat, with a
band of orange ribbon, and thrust blue silk
handkerchief in his breast pocket. This,
| with tan shoes, completed a costume the like
of which was never seen on land or sea. But
it effected its purpose. The Prince had 1t all
| to himself and this year has had no occasion
to repeat the practical joke.
