The fact that the Roman Catholic
church has now two cOlOred priests
in this country, is paraded and com
meuted upon as if a tremendous food
had heen turned loose. The Metho-
dist Episcopal church alone has
nearly 1000 colored preachers in her
ministerial ranks, while there are at
least 10000 colored Methodist preach
ers, beside many more Baptist
preachers. We need watch Rome,
but the facts do not warrant the ter
rible things that some people are

CHOLERA is HERE.

EeyeraI Cases in New York, and others Re-
ported From the West.
The New York Board of Health, on
Thursday. the 10Th inst, made a report
announcing the occurrence of four deaths
rom Asiatic cholera in that city. Other
cases and deaths have since appeared.
The cholera has also caused deaths at
Northfield. Mimi, and Empire, New. In
the latter case, it is believed the case was
carried in the baggage that came over
with some imported French horses. The
cases in New York are declared by the
health physicians to be sporadic, and
the statement is given out that there is no
fear of an epidemic. An investigation
shows, however, that in the case Of the
child Levinger, the disease was con-
sracted from four young servant girls. who
came on the steamer Friesland from Ant
Herp August 29th. The steamer was
suarantined, and the passengers placed
On Ellis Island for three days. The dis
ease germs were evidently carried in the
clothing of these girls. Antwerp is one
Of the infected ports of Europe. The
health department is pursuing the same
policy in regard TO the cholera as was
done when typhus fever was prevalent
recently. The idea is to Overwhelm and
stamp out the disease in each house.
1t is stated that, since the cholera cpl
lemic of 25 years ago, New York has ex-
pended 81, ESQ, 100000 i'll improving its
sanitary condition, and an extensive
cholera outbreak is regarded as impos.
sible.
But one case of cholera has been Off
:ially recognized since the first announce
ment of the disease, that of Mary Con-
nelly, an Irish servant girl, who was
taken sick at 692 Second avenue and re-
moved to the floating hospital.
The Board of Health is convinced that
the cholera broke through the quarantine
and probably came in baggage or cloth
ing on vessels that had no cholera on
BOARD.
The servant girls were quarantined in
hospitals, and all houses are quarantined
where the disease has occurred.
Late reports place the number of cases
4 New York definitely at eight, one of
which is doubtful No new cases have
broken out, and the Board of Health,
while convinced that there may be few
sporadic cases both in the city and at
5ther points, is satisfied that no general
,utbreak is TO be feared. The quarantine
las been made more stringent, and, as
al pest ships that have left Europe are
n quarantine, and no others are to be
allowed to come, it is believed the dan
ger of cholera outbreak in this country
practically over.
