The Rockville Light Artillery was first
organized in 1888. and designated as Bat
terry +, of the Indiana Legion, Second Reg
iment. Some thirty ambitious young men
of the town named were mustered i'll by
Acknowledgement Canadian. The first
commissioned officers of the battery were
Frank Z. Stevenson, first lieutenant, and
Ed Lambert second lieutenant with Will
A. Mason as first sergeant. In June. 1884,

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE

Bishop Foley, of Detroit, one of
the brightest aud most popular men
in the Roman Catholic Church is
thus quoted on the public school
question:
| believe in the State providing
educational facilities for its citizens,
and believe that the public schools
should be non.sectarian. Sectarian.
ism should not be allowed to enter
into either politics or pubic schools.
When | vote l vote as John Foley,

against Catholic if the former was
better fitted for the place in question
than the latter. | do no not approve,
however, of the maintenance of

Bishop Foley's utterance is nota.
bic because it comes from one Of the
most devoted of Catholics and is in
strong opposition to the ground usu,
ally taken by clergymen, of his
church. The sentiment of" John Fo.
ley, an American citizen" puts on
the man who utters it the stamp of
true patriotism.

Rutland, VT, which has grown during his
business operations in that vicinity from
population of 5000 to 10000; but lie is the
founder of the town of Proctor, where lie

The strong political following of Governor
Proctor is shown by the fact that he was
able to solidity the Vermont delegation to
the last Chicago convention, that being the
only state delegation which voted solidly on
every ballot for Gen. Harrison. A few days
before the convention the delegation was at
sea- but Governor Proctor was able to unite
it. His business capacity and fair dealing as
much as his party services have given him
strength in the Republican party which even
