A CARD.

To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
Permit the undersigned to be heard to
say through the columns of your esteem
ed journal that the enemies and others
of more disgraceful calibre to Roberts
Chapel, NJ. E. Church, have been af.
forded an opportunity recently TO say
great deal about the church from
local appearing in your paper of the
Goth instant, under the heading OF "a
Fight in Church" when the church had
nothing TO do with the affair whatever.
That q pastor and some one may have
mad words or an alteration, could not
nor would not attempt to deny, but we
nave land marked by tombs of host
OF members of this church whose histo-
ry is nearly as old as the dying century,
and whose memories are dear to many
of our people from the fact that they
lived and walked uprightly-exchanged
their earthly lsurels for crowns
of Immortality and left a posterity
who today with their increased educa-
ton and facilities look back upon their
ancestry with pride and admiration. In
proof of oft expressed loyalty to the
Methodist Episcopal Church, with the
reconciliation OF the fact that ministers
are appointed annually By the Wash
lngton Annual Conference to fill the
pulpit OF Roberts Chapel, NJ. E. Church,
(the pride of Vrginia's colored meth.
.distism) together with other churches
OF the same creed and conference, it
would poor people to sneer at such
occurrences complained Of in your
local OF the Goth, above referred to,
while it can be confidently assert
ed that the people who make
up the membership are absolutely
without any record whatever that
would have tendency to disgrace the
community in which we live or the
race. That strange ministers and
strange men who are sent and come
into the church may curse and tight, l
would not attempt to deny, but hope
that the respectable justice-loving com
muoity will not charge the respectable
element OF the colOred race composing
the membership of Roberts Chapel, M.
E. Church, with anything disgraceful
growing out of the recent unpleasant
ness in the peighborhood of Roberts
Chapel after the church or class meet
ing was dismissed (Which is an evil
deuce that no fight has occurred ip the
church,, from the fact that the MAORI
ty of the church membership and It's
followers are opposed to ministers or
others who would allow themselves TO
become so enraged under sny circum.
stances to do anything that would
have tendency to disgrace the
church, and although recent reports
nave made harvest for idle gosslppers
Roberts Chapel should maintain today
aer former respect among fair minded
people, enraged ministers and strange
class leaders Notwithstanding.

A DIRE PROPHECY TRUE.

Thomas G. Simpson, of Williams
port, Pa, father of Mrs. Ramsey, the
New York woman who cut her hus-
hands throat, says that the tragedy
was no surprise to him. He, too, thinks
nat his daughter will destroy herself.
Her marriage with Ramsey was much
against her parents; wishes, and Mr..
simpson says they used all possible ar
,uments to persuade Grace TO give him
Ia the light of the terrible tragedy
5bat has followed the marrage,a propn-
ecy made by Mr.. Simpson to Grace a
few days before her wedding has a
weird significance.
The father says that during q CONVEX
sation with Grace, in which ne endeaY,
ored to have her promise that she would
not marry Ramsey, he told her: III
you do marry him there will come
time when, at night, while the iuil
moon is shining in on his face as De lies
asleep, you will suddenly experience
such an aversion for him that you Will
murder him"
On the day fixed for the Weoolng'
which was last New Years, Mrs. Simp-
son left the city so that she need not
witness her daughters marriage; Inc
ceremony took place at the brides
nome. but of her family only her father
and one sister were present.
The Simpsons are much distressed
over q series of ill-luck inciden OF
which their daughters tragic act is the
climax. But few days ago they re-
ceived word that their son. Guy, who
is with the army in the Philippines,
had been wounded. One day last H;e week Z
Clarence Smith, q young man. residing
near Muncy, who was TO have welded
their eldest daughter during this month;
met with an accident which is feared
will will result fatally. Miss Simpson is at
his bedside. pu
The principal objection to Ramsey
on the part of the Simpsons was De-
cause 90 So of his conduct with another
voung woman from Williamsport.
