Samuel F. Miller, of the Supreme Court
of the United States, the Colored man
loses friend who was q friend of long
standing. In 1S48 he moved from the
state of Kentucky to Iowa because he
did not desire to raise bis family in a
slave state. The same ideas that he
held as to the equality of man and the
Injustice of slavery remained with him
until his death. No opinion of his con-
corning rights of man can be said to en-
brace an iota Of prejudice. Appropriate
services were held in the Supreme
Court room at the Capitol on Thursday
after which the remains were conveyed
to Keokuk, Iowa for interment.
The week now ending has been brim-
full of politics. Every person whom you
may meet has some opinion as to the
political outlook, and strange to say no
two have the same opinion. A great
number of clerks have gone home to
vote. From all reports no off years in
politics has awakened such an interest
in the government employees as this one
now drawing to close, and possibly
the result of this election will determi-
nate the fate of the Civil Service Com
mission. Each state association has a
list of all employers from that state and
every employee who does not 60 home
to vote or fails to respond to the
call for funds will be marked for sacri-
fee.
Rev. Isaac Bryant, editor of the Bap-
fist Pioneer. was in the city a par of
the week en- route home from Rich
mond, Va, where he had been attend
ing the Emancipation Celebration. He
says it was brilliant affair.
There is such thing as the inability
of man to tell whether he is constitut-
ed bv the people or whether he consti-
tutes the people. There is little two
much Ego displayed by some Of our big
big men.
Christiana Chisley "a poor insane COL
ored woman, committed suicide in cell
at the Fifth street station on last Tues
day night. She had been adjudged in
sane and was ordered sent to the ASYLUM
but evidently through lack of care or
absolute dont-careness on the part of
some one, she was shut up in a dark
illsmelling room at the station to wait
until morning, but the morning never
came to her. Had she been cared for
as an insane person should be, no doubt
she would be living. Leave the race
problem to the police force of this city
about two years and l have serious
doubts as to whether there would be any
Coloreu men left hereabout to consti-
tute race problem.
Miss Julia G. Wormley, daughter of
James Wormley, part owner of the
Worm!ey Hotel, is perhaps as fine an
elocutionist as our race possesses. She
has the voice, the pliability of body,
command of gestures aid expression Of
countenance, suitable to successful and
extraordinary elocutionist. Her power
of mimicry is excellent. At a rehearsal
at the Berean Church by the Cook. Or
chestra. Miss Wormley recited several
selections. The one entitle! Trouble
in the Amen Corner" was rendered so
touchingly as to bring tears.to the eyes
of many of the large audiance. With
continued training aided by the natural
ability Miss Wormley possesses, will
make her the equal if not the superior
of any lady dramatic reader on the
American stage. The rehearsal by the
orchestra was grand and presage bril-
liant success for the musical young
men who are led by Professor William
Cook. -" p. ...
