The grand hall of the Cooper Union
was filled last night with enthusiastic
men and women, who desire that the
Bible shall be read in the public
schools and that the school fund shall
not be used for sectarian purposes. On
the bust of George Washington was
cape OF bright red, over which was
folded blue necktie, ornamented
with white stars. Henry Clay wore a
blue vest, cut rather short, Daniel
Webster, a waistcoat of red, bound
with white, and the audience sang an
opening ode to the tune of The
Star Spangled Banner" One OF the
speakers, Rev. DR.. Miller, noticing
ihe garb of Washington. said that
when he entered Ile hall he turned to
ask n friend whether tie bust was one
Of Cardinal McCloskey, clothed in the
scarlet of his Office, the blue and the
white above the red. He continued
Spare Washington the PROCLAMATION
now fashionable among the women of
New York. You see them everywhere
sadged with a rosette of scarlet. or
wearing it because 1t is the color of the
Cardinals. Men wear scarlet cock
ahes, and children scarlet ribbons.
Rev. J. S. Willis pleaded for the con-
tinnued maintenance of the Bible in
the public schools. 1t is inseparabIy
woven into the warp and woof of the
public schools. AS u matter of policy
the Bible should be retained to in
struct the youth in those principles of
morals that a liberal system of educa-
tion lays before him. Parents cannot be
depended upon. nor can the churches.
The speaker said he was willing to
accept Prince Bismarck's compro-
mise, and allow the Catholics to be
taught from the Dnuai Bible and
Protestants from the st. James
Bible, for there is not much difference
between them, anyway.
Frederick Hudson, for many wears
managing editor of the New York
Herald, died this morning at his home
in Concord, from injuries received on
tie railroad track at five O'Clock yes
terday afternoon. 1t seems that Mr..
Hudson was approaching Monument
street, at the crossing of the Middlesex
Central railroad, seated in a covered
buggy with Judge ]. P.sKeyes, who
was driving, when the fidgman warned
them of the approach of train and
they stopped until the engine passed.
Being engaged in conversation, and
not thinking that the cars were COM
ing after, and that the flying switch
was always made at this crossing, they
started to cross, when the cars struck
the hind wheel throwing Judge
Keyes into the street. and rolling Mr..
Hudson and buggy along the track for
about twenty feet and down a slight
embankment. Judge Keyes, although
considerably bruised and stunned, was
not seriously injured. Mr.. Hudson's
injuries, however, proved fatal and he
died this morning. He was Sc years
of age.
