BROOKLYN’S GIRL PASTOR.
Miss Oliver’s Muuagementofthe Church
1 hat Mie Bought.
RFLIGION ON A CASH BASIS—A SEIIIES OF
BEFORMS, IM SPITE OF WHICH SHE
IS DENIED OHDINATIW 'WHY
SHE VBTPPED HER THUS
NAME.
Miss Anna Oliver, the young lady
pastor of the Willoughby Avenue
Me hodist Episcopal church, in
Brooklyn, is much more successful
in h- r ministry than many young
men of her age, and her cnurch has
i ecome one of the most prosperous
in its vicinity, t’he church she oc
cupies was purchased under a fore
closure sale by the Williamsburg
savings bank, to satisfy their first
mortgage of $15,000. Offers were
made for it to turn it into a livery
stable and beer garden, but Miss Ol -
iver purchased it in her own name
tor $14,000, and gave a mortgage for
$13,000. She organized a church in
the Spring of 1879 iu accordance
with the discipline of the Methodist
Episcopal church, but without the
official sanction of any of the preach
ers of that church, who. although
sending word that thev feltpleasant
ly towards her enterprise, also said
that they could not recognize a fe
male preacher. Miss Oliver was
about to deed tbe property she had
bougbttothe church in the usual
way, when she conclude t that if she
did the conference might accept tbe
property and turn the worshippers
out Accordingly she had a legal
document drawn, deeding the church
to certain persona for the purposesof
the Willoughby Avenue Methodist
church, but not. subject to tne direc
tion of conference. Miss Oliver’s en
ergy was unbounded, and when she
heard that neighboring church mem
bers were saying that her enterprise
would not last a year, she redoubled
her exertions, and now, at about tbe
completion of her second year, she
has reason to be gratified at the ret
rospect.
Miss Oliver is about 26 or 27 years
old. with cold black eyes, brunette
complexion, and raven black hair,
which falls in glossy curls over her
shoulders. She brushes h«r hair
smoothly back from her forehead
and face, and in other respects her
toilet ia in contrast with "the fash
ionable voung lady of Madison
square.” She dresses in black, us
ually In alpaca, cut to neatly fit her
splendor figure, and the sombre cos
tume is relieved only by delicate bits
of white ruche at tbe throat and
sleeves. No jewelry, except a black
jet pin. is worn by the girl pastor.
Her manner is that of an earnest re
ligious devotee, and her conversation
seems unmixed with cant. Her sin
cerity has won her many friends,
and many veteran Methodists who
sit weekly under h«r teachings would
pot exchange her for a bishop
“We have put the church and
chapel buildings an I the land in
good condition,” said Miss Oliver, in
response to a question about tbe
temporal condition of her church,”
and we nay as we go. The buildings
cast $47,500 to erect. but their pres
ent value is hard to estimate. The
eight lots on which they stand are
valued at from SI,OOO to $2,000 each.
We have new furniture for the church
and chapel, estimated to be worth
$1,600. We settle all bills monthly,
and »ach month’s proportion of In
terest on the mortgage of $13,000 is
deposited in the savings bank, so
that when the six months’payment
becomes due, It is all on hand. We
bold that no church can be conduct
ed more economically than ours
Twenty-two hundred and fifty dol
lars a year meets our entire ex
penses, pastor’s salary and all. We
recently had a gift of two building
lots in New York city, which we are
trying to sell.”
"Have you an income from pew
rents?”
"Not a dollar. No pews are rent
ed. Our motto is: ’Have faith in
God.’ We believe that if the Lord
needs a church, and the church does
the Lord’s work, He will just assure
ly give it the monev to meet its cur
rent expenses as He will give it the
Holy Spirit to lead its meeting. We
do not believe in church fairs, festi
vals, oyster suppers, necktie socia
bles, leap-year entertainments, cha
rades, tableaux, cantatas, wax works
or any of the numerous projects got
ten up by other churches in order to
meet their expenses. which turn the
Lord’s sanctuary into a playhouse,
an eating saloon, or a house of mer
chandise. Our method of raising
money is to ask the people to give it
in return for the profit they derive
from the church services. Our only
debt Is th st $13,000, and I am asking
tbe Lord for the money, I believe
that He has the money somewhere,
and will before long give it to us.”
Miss Oliver has overcome obsta
cles that would cause many young
women to sit down and have a good
cry. Her church was stripped of fur
niture some time after she bought it
by a man who had a chattel mort
gage on it, given by a former society.
Miss Oliver at once decided it was
the best time to clean tbe church,
and organized a scrubbing-brush
committee, with herself as chairman.
She roiled up her sleeves and went
to work with soap and water to clean
the house.
A few weeks ago it was necessary
to comply with a promise to some ad
vertisers in an annual publication
made by the church to print a pic
ture of the edifice on the title page.
It was discovered that there was no
engraving of the church, and none
could be obtained unless a drawing
of the church was furnished. Miss
Oliver turned artist and made a
truthful pen and ink sketch of the
church, the chapel and the trees,and
so kept the promise to the patrons of
her enterprise. A Western admirer
of Miss Oliver’s pluck has presented
her with a live buffalo from tbe Kan
sas plains. She has devised a plan
to make it a source of profit,
Miss Oliver’s bitterest disappoint
ment was io tbe refusal of the bish
ops of tbe church to ordain her. She
his appealed for this recognition in
vaiu. but she is met by the answer
that the law of the church does not
authorize the ordination of women.
“I have made aimostevervconceiv
able sacrifice,” she savs, “to do what
I believe is God’s will. Brought up
in a conservat ve circle in New York
city, that, held it a disgrace for a
woman to work, surrounded with the
comfortsand advantages of simple
means, and trained in the Episcopal
chtrrob, I gave tip home, friends and
support, went counter to prejudices
that had become second nature to
me, worked for several years to con
stant exhaustion and suffered cold,
hunger and loneliness. The things
hardest for me to bear were laid
upon me. For two months my own
mother did not speak tome. When
I entered the bouse she turned and
walked awav. When I sat at the ta
ble she did not recognize me. I have
passed through tortures to which the
fliynes of martyrdom would be noth
ing. for they would end in a day.”
Miss Oliver’s true name is Anna
Olivia Snowden. Her critics have
often referred to ‘he fact that she
preaches under au alias. Out of re
spect to her family, who at first
thought tha' she disgraced them by
public speaking, she dropped their
name and altered hers to Anna
Oliver. Some years ago her family
became reconciled to her, and even
proud of her, and then wished her to
use their name; but, having won her
way as Anna Oliver, she determined
to cling to that name, which, it is
whispered, she has several times re
fused to change.

A Daughter Punished Instead of the
Villainous Servant.
New Yobk, February, 15.—Charles
E. Crawford, a clerk, lives at No. 160
First etreet and Morris avenue. His
family consists of a wife and a
daughter thirteen years old. On tije
first of September last, Mary Dooley.
agei2o, a quiet looking girl, was
emploved as a bouse servant. Stic
brought good reference. A month
or so alter her arrival various ar
ticles began to disappear. Inquiry
threw no light on the matter. Jew
elry and money next were missed.
Search was made, and a pocKet-book
containing $l5O, stolen from a desk
belonging to Crawford, was found
wrapped in some clothes of Anna
Louisa, his daughter, She
was accused, but denied the
theft. Other stolen articles were dis
covered in a doll’s trunk. The child
was severely punished by her par
ents, who thought denial added un
truth to theft. They desired her to
confess, and to this end, severely
chastised her. To avoid a further
punishment, the ctiild acknowledged
she had stolen it. The property con
tinued to disappear, and the child
was again accused. She denied, but
through fear of punishment, again
confessed. In reply to tbe question
wbat she had done with the things
she took, she said she had destroyed
them. Her parents began to think
she was of unsound mind. Physi
cians put thema’ter downas insanity
on the subject of stealing. Tbe child
was watched, but the property con
tinued to disappear. Incendiarism
was added to the robber
ies, and the child, to avoid
chastisement for telling an un
truth admitted guilt. The hands of
the little girl were now strapped to
her side. Still the robberies did not
cease, and another Are nearly de
stroyed the house. Crawford, to pre
vent his daughter injuring herself,
had a belt made, and procuring a
chain, chained the child to tbe wall
of tbe dining room during the day
and at night to the post of the bed.
Dioley, the servant, slept with the
child to prevent her doing herself
injury. One day in the early part ot
the present month, a lady called to
see Mr. Crawford. She placed aside
her wrappers, which consisted of a
valuable fur lined mantle, muff and
bonnet. When she looked for
them again they were gone,
A detective found the articles con
cealed in the garret. That day An
na Louise was unchained and went
about the house with her arms
bound to her sides. Being threat
ened with punishment she confessed
to having placed the property where
found. Her father, for some reason,
now began to suspect his servant,
and a neighbor informed Mrs. Craw
ford that Mary Dooley wasdishonest.
During her absence, yesterday, tbe
place where she kept her clothes was
searched, and there carefully put
away was much of the missing prop
erty. When Mary returned, last
night, she was met bv a detective
and accused of tne thefts and having
set fire to the house on the two occa
sions. She confessed, and said
that the greater part of the
jewelry and valuables she ha l stolen
were at ber home, and there they
were found to-day. Mary was ar
raigned in the police court, where
only the charge of incendiarism was
preferred. She acknowledged the
offense, and was committed in de
fault of $3,000 bail to await the ac
tion of the grand jury.
“Tbat woman,” said a detective, re
ferring to Dooley, is the most wicked
being I ever saw. It brought tears
to my eyes when I saw that child
chained to the wall like a dog. I
don’t see how she could have slept
with the child and listened to the
clank of ber chains, knowingshe was
the cause of it.”

COLUMBUS. GA., SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 19,1881.
GEN. M. C. BUTLER.
Distinguished Family Antecedents of the
South Carolina Senator-
Correspondence of the Graphic.)
Washington, February B.—To see
the galleries crowded for the first
time in weeks to hear Conkling reply
to Senator Butler shows that the
gladiatorial appetite is still strong
in t his city of affrays, where Sumner
was beaten, where Sam Houston beat
Congressman Stanton, where Sickles
shot Key and Graves killed Oilley.
The Butler family now, as in 1856, is
the subject of all physical notice.
STOBY OF THE BUTI.BBS.
Senator Butler, of South Carolina,
is a probably clear descendant, of
Walter, the Butler, who went with
Henry 11. to the conquest of Ireland,
was made Chief Butler, and whose
descendants soon afterwards adopt
ed the name of Le Botiller, the boU
tier, or the buttler. Had Ireland
come to a like independence with
Scotland, the royal line of Butlers
might have cut as wide » swath
historically as the line of Walter
the Steward, which became the
Scotch and English Stuarts. The
Butlers, as Dukes of Ormond, rose
to the highest dignity io Ireland,
and though of. Ivorman origin, bc
eune "more Irish than the Irish.”
While the Stuarts were lighting for
their crown the groat Butler Ormond
was his Viceroy in Ireland, and at
the expulsion of the Irish from all
their country east of the Shannon,
Pierce Butler, hunted like a beast,
made his way to Cromwell in person
and was forgiven. Like all aristo
cratic families, the Butler name was
adopted by a large tenantry, yet it
is pretty distinctively Iris’ 1 . But
lers word with the Tory Johnsons of
New York, and with the patriotic
settles of Wyoming, and Pierce But
ler, major of a British regiment in
Boston, joined the Americans, opera
ted in South Carolina, and. having
assisted to make the constitution,
became the first Senator from that
Stato, and lived till 1822,
When the constitution was under
debate this Major Butler was a lead
er in extending the foreign slave
trade to 1808—significantly the end
of Jefferson’s presidential term—and
ho was the author of the fugitive
slave law of 1788, though fair and re
ciprocal on other questions. The
Butlers of Pennsylvania and Ken
tucky also kept the name of .Pierce,
and came from Kilkenny ;* one of
them was the Democratic candidate
for Vice-President, with Cass. In
1840 Samson H. Butler, of South Car
olina, made a speech in Congress de
fending slavery on scriptural
grounds. Andrew Pickens Butler
was the most celebrated of the fam
ily, and was bora at. the Irish settle
ment. of Edgefield, the most lawless
and duelling point, of South Caroli
na. in the year 1706. This was the
man against whom Sumner leveled
his speech on tbe “Barbarism of
Slavery.” He was educated at the
celebrated South Carolina college,
at Columbia, where free trade was
first taught bv Cioper, of Pennsyl
vania, the English aon-in-Jaw of
Joseph Priestley. Calhoun seized
on the party cry of free trade to elect
himself President, and the nullifying
laws were therefore passed against
the federal protective duties. It
would seem that all South Carolin
ians, unionists as well us nullifiers,
were free traders. Andrew P. But
ler became a judge at forty, and .so
remained twelve years, until George
McDuffie died, when he was appoint
ed United States Senator abont 1847.
and was in the Senate till his death
in 1857. His father had been a regu
lar armv surgeon and a Congress
man, and his brother William was
also a Congressman, and married
the sisterof Commodore Perry, grand
aunt of Mrs. Belmsnt, of New York.
Recollecting the friendship between
Belmont and Tomßayard and the
recent correspondence bet ween Ba
yard and Senator Conkling, you
will s»e a possible analogy between
it and Senator Butler’s out bread. He
is tbe posterity of Miss Perry and a
cousin of Perry Belmont. Congress
man-elect. Another Butler. Pierce
M. was Governor of South Carolina
in 1836, and was killed leading his
regiment on the field of Oherebusso.
The regiment to Mexico nearly 1,200
strong, and returned with only 300
men a few officers, and to the Pal
metto tree monument at Columbia is
raised. The Pierce Butler who
married Fanny Kemble and resided
at Philadelphia was of slight relation
to any of the public men foregoing,
though it Is suggestive that through
Kembles the Butlers are connections
of General Grant, whose daughter
married tbe son of Fanny Kemble
Butler’s sister.
In the dispute over carrying
slavery into Oregon, 1848, Senator A.
P. Butler said “he would tell his con
stituents to go into the territories
with arms in their bands and settle
at all hazards. * * * lam
ready to embark in the boat with my
State and trust it to the care of Heav
en.”
One month after Charles Sutnner
was elected to the United States Sen
ate he presented a New England peti
tion to repeal the fugitive slave law
and in the excited debate which fol
lowed he chose the old veteran Sena
tors of the South. Butler and Mason,
as the representative agents of
slavery extension. Butler asked if
Mr. Sumner would sand back fugitive
slaves if the law was repealed. "Is
thy servant a dog that be should do
this thing?”replied Sumner. “Then
you tell me in my pre=ence as a co
equal Senator that it is a
dog’s office to execute the
Constitution of the United States?”
So began tbe exasperating animus
between the Southerner of fifty-five
years of age and the Massachusetts
champion of forty. Sumner’s appear
ance in that Senate created as much
curiosty and disgust as Cadet Whit
taker did thirty years afterwards in
the military aristocracy of West
Point. Tbe father of Thomas Bay
ard cast in his lot with tbe Radical
Southern element, though he had
married in Philadelphia. There was
an old feud between South Carolina
and Massachusetts made personal
bv the mission of the father of George
Hoar to Charleston as the State
agent to protect the freedom of Mas
sachusetts colored sailors, and the
debate between Webster and Hayne,
when Sumner was only nineteen
years of age, bad appeared to make
these two States the moral champi
ons of the slavery question. After
the repeal of the Missouri compro
mise and the aggressions of Pierce’s
administration in Kansas, Sumner
levelled all the personalities of a set
speech entitled, “The Crime Against
Kansas,” upon Stephen A. Douglas
and Andrew Pickens Butler. The
air was full of fight, and scalp takers
from Kansas were lying drunk around
Washington hotels threatening to
“lick” somebody. Two days after
the speech, which had painted a
godless state of things in South Car
olina, and paid no groat respect to
the intellect or good intentions of
Senator Butler, the latter’s young
relative, Preston S. Brooks, who was
37 years old, and Sumner then forty
tv-iive, assaulted tbe latter with a
stick. The assault killed all three of
the parties, it is said. Mr. Sumner
suffered from the assault for
eighteen years, and, it is believed,
to have bean among the causes of his
death. No more wai heard of the
Butler family of South Carolina for
nearly twenty years, till the present
Senator appeared in the Hamburg
massacre, near Augusta, Ga., but in
the interval, Benjamin F. Butler, an
Ormond, too, as his grandfather was
in the Revolutionary war, and bis
father, in the war of 1812, made an
immense reputation against the re
bellion, though he was a Brecken
ridge nleetor for Massachusetts in
1860, Roderick R. Butler, of Tennes
see, late candidate for speaker of the
Legislature, is a Republican, and was
a mechanic, born on the mountains
of Virginia, in tho same county with
JohnS. Mosby. AU the Butlers are
of strong Irish temperaments.
THE SPECTRE OF THE BALL ROOM.
The Holding of Noses in High Places.
Washington. Post.
It bus been said that the number
ot tickets sold to colored people for
the inauguration ball is, thus far,
greatly in excess of the number sold
to white people. Whether this is
a true or exaggerated statement,
there is no doubt that our American
gentry of African decent are buying
largely,' as they have the vuli i right
to do, and exhibiting thereby a pa
triotic determination that the festivi
ties shall not be a failure through
any fault of thoirs.
Strangely enough, however, the re
port seems to have struck the higher
latitudes of Republican society with
a frigoriilc wave ot consternation. In
some quarters the intelligence is re
ceived with silent and sullen indigna
tion ; in others with a sense of over
powering despair at an intrusion
which so threatens to upset the pro
prieties and sour thejereme de la
creme of the occasion.
But how is it to be helped?
In the name ot the lamented Lin
coln and in tbe eye of the latter law,
we are supposed to be a free people.
The foundation stones of our insti
tutions are labeled “Liberty,”
“Equality,”, “Fraternity,” and the
constitutional amendments have
carefully.wiped outall fastidious dis
criminations <>B this point..
The complainants in the case,more
over, seem to misunderstand the na
ture of the coming jubilee. It is not
gotten up in order that a select few
may have a chance to display a regal
magnificence of toilets or a rare
resplendency of jewels, but it is iu
purport, if not essentially, au affair
of the people—especially ot the peo
ple who helped to put General Gar
field whore he is.
In this instance, all distinctions of
caste, all considerations of fashion
able propriety, all pretensions to no
bility ot rank, all claim to superior
ity of birth, blood, position, sink to
the mercenary level of a five dollar
bill, without regard to race, color, or
previous condition ot servitude.
Such is a view of the matter taken
from a disinterested, unprejudiced,
Democratic standpoint. The pro
miscuous intertwining ot the races in
tlie mystic mazes of the waltz may
not be an agreeable contemplation
to tbe choicer sprigs and flowers of
our American aristocracy, but is it
not high time that people who have
such contacts and contrasts socially
possible, should accept the conse
quences with a more loyal grace,and
cease to turn up their noses.at the
inexorable logic of events?
JUDGE HIRAM WARNER.
His Serious Illness and His Recovery Not
Expected.
It is with no small degree of regret
that the Constitution chronicles the
dangerous illness of the veteran
jurist, Judge Hiram Warner. Two
months ago Judge Warner was in
Savannah, where he had an attack
of broken-bone fever, from which he
has never entirely recovered. Two
weeks ago he was attacked by a
malady which has so far baffled the
skill ot his physicians, and he lays In
bed recognizing those about him but
never speaking to any one. Ho Is
now nearly eighty years ot age, and
the chances against his recovery are
very great. He is at the residence of
Mr. E. W. Martin, 81 Washington
street, where he is attended by Drs.
H.V. Mlllerand W.F. Westmoreland.
-Constitution.
Senator Bruce’s Cabinet Aspirations.
Special Despatch to the World.)
Washington, Feb. 15.—The move
ment in favor or the appointment to
the Cabinet of Senator Bruce, ot
Mississippi, has by no means been
abandoned. It is claimed by many
Republicans of the South, both white
and colored, that their section
should have a representative and
that Senator Bruce is in every way
the proper man. Mr. Bruce has said
that he would accept the appoint
ment as Postmaster-General or Sec
retary of the Interior, two offices, es
pecially the former, for which he
thinks he is competent. He has no
desire for the Navy Department,
which would bring him in contact
with officers whose prejudices and
education might cause th.-m to shrink
from him. He hasgiventhe post-office
department a good deal of attention,
and it is claimed that he would man
age it with skill. When Senator
Bruce’s name was first mentioned in
connection with tbe cabinet the Ro
eublicans ejected that the Southern
democrats would regard the appoint
ment as an affront. Senator Lamar
said to-day on the subject: “So far
from objecting to the appointment of
Senator Bruce, the Mississippi dele
gation, and I think most ot the
Southern members, would choose
him as the Representative Southern
Republican. Neither I nor any other
Southern Democrat has taken an
active part in his behalf, but we all
feel enough friendship and regard for
him to make it as plain as words can
put it that if a Southern Republican
is to go into the cabinet no applies
tion would please us more than that
of Bruce. He is modest and intelli
gent—in short, a noble negro.” „

How They Lie.
Montgomery Advertiser.]
The following is from the columns
of a leading Radical sheet. It flour
ishes like a green bay tree and the
city which patronizes it grows rich
In Southern trade:
This is the misery of the Southern
situation; that the slavery regime,
which made liars of those held in
servitide, made liars of those who so
held them in bonds. It has been
proven a hundred—nay, a thousand
times that political crime abound and
that the election in the South are all
tainted with fraud, but no Southern
Congressman ever rises to speak,
that he does not, either in exordium
or peroration, solemnly assure that
the House or Senate, as the case may
be, that the stories about crime and
fraud among “my people” are false
and slanderous. And, generally, he
swears "fore God” to the truth of
his denial. After having set “my
people” right, the speaker urges
upon his Northern brethren the pro
priety-nay, the jnstfee—of “concil
iating” the South with an appropria
tion 1
Really.some of the Southern people
are playing the role of the red man.
They remind one of the Indians. Af
ter a massacre of white settlers has
occurred on the plains, the “big”
chiefs go to Washington with a "good
heart” to see the “Great Father.”
They promise not to allow the“young
braves” to kill any more palefaces,
receive an appropriation—consisting
of money, blankets, guns, beads and
things—and go back to their I ‘people”
and nave a great powwow, with plen
ty of fire-water. This is precisely
what these Confederates have been
doing io these dozen years 1 Their
hands are red with the blood of in
nocent men—black and white Re
publicans—murdered for daring to
assert themselves as the political
equals ot their savage oppressors.
And as they never have for a mo
ment ceased to commit murder, so
they have neverceased to lie about it.
It is estimated that last year fully
60,000 Southerners visited Chicago—
the city of this slanderous sheet! It
is further told that the annual South
ern trade of this city, which not only
thus tolerates but patronizes this
unscrupulous slanderer of her
Southern customers, has mounted up
into the millions!
Is it not quite time for our people
to turn their trade from a city where
they are constantly traduced as liars
and murderers ? Not content with
calling Southern white men liars, it
goes back upon its man and brother,
and calls the Southern negro, with
out exception, a born liar, and yet
before the election this infamous
sheet cooed as tenderly as a sucking
dove over the poor colored voter of
the South!
