is not welcomed at either of these
places. During the very brief space
of time our bishops remain among us
it is practically impossible for any
of the colored bretheren' outside of
the members of the cabinet, to come
into contact or personal association
with them or for them to become
personally acquainted with but few of
us.
Hence the depressing effect upon
our ministry and membership.
The times are changed and We have
changed with them. The DAVIS of
Haven and Walden, of Wiley and New
man and Mallalieu are no more Ham,
tilton, / believe, still stands as one of
the old guard. Doubtless, and I be-
lieve, there are others equally as
catholic, and just as Christlike as
! they.
If one of these men go to Africa
and do there what each did here, and
should happen to die there he would
be cannonized; but down here he
would be apt to be ostracised, and his
death would not provoke great sor-
row.

to elect a colored bishop or general

trests of our men and the public

and ask in all candor, is it not time
to give us equitable representation
on the Board of Bishops? Can there
not be found. after nealy a half CEN
tury OF training and service, at least
, two men sufficiently equipped to try
the experiment with? This need
appears to be imperative. Social and
radical conditions in the South must
be reckoned with and regarded. Until
we shall have a general conference
composed of men a two thirds major

man for the episcopacy We need not
look for any material increase in our
colored membership.
Until We have some bishop in our

Sudden Death of Mrs. Frank Carman.

Frank Carman of this city had a
sad awakening last Sunday morning,
when he rose and dressed and
thought to give Mrs. Carman little
time before arousing her. his wife
not being quite well the day before.
The shock came when he called his
wife and soon discovered that she
could never audibly answer him.
Mrs. Carman had been subject to
occasional symptoms of heart weak
ness for several years, and it was in
one of these attacks that she must
have loosed her hold upon life with
scarcely struggle, so far as shown
by her position in the morning. Mr..
Carman had occasion to talk a few
words with his wife about two
o'clock that morning, when Mrs.
Carman seemed much the same as
usual and made no mention of feel
ing badly.
Mrs. Carman was born Anna w.
Petersen, in Denmark, March l,
1871. She was united to Mr.. Car
man in the nineties and they were
greatly attached to each other, hav-
ing no children. Her stepmother,
Mrs. Petersen. had been with her
for several weeks, and we are not
informed of other near relatives in
this vicinity. The funeral has been
appointed for next Thursday, at the
M. E. church. at 2 o'clock, Pastor
Shuman in charge.

Ezra WEIGH Dies at Hospital.

The Gazette regrets to have to
chronicle the death of Ezra WEIGH,
son of Frank WEIGH. whose recent
removal to the state hospital was
noted in this paper. Fears of ia
tai conclusion Of his malady were
felt here by those knowing the ma
ture of his disease, but the end was
not looked for so soon.
The cause Of death is ascribed to
an abscess of the brain. The young
man was born in this city in Deem
Der of 1878, and his vocation was
that of cook, in which he was de-
cidedly proficient. We are told that
he has been very helpful and kind to
his family, of whom seven brothers
and three sisters, besides his par
ents, are left to mourn his untimely
