1t is not alone that so many millions

constantly on thestrain caused by the in
fluence OF lcgalized gambling of tho

allusions to poker-playing which figure
in the columns of every newspaper, which
adorn every farce, and which form half
the stock in trade of the so.called comic

for betting on hOrse-racing that has ta-

steadily on the increase in Boston.

Secede frOn the Church.

EVANSVILLE. June 2O.-The Bennett
Jaw and anti-secret society fol-de-rol
have contributed to a rupture in the
German Lutheran church here. The
pastor has been unnecessarily severe
In his denunciation of the Bennett
law, and has mathematical it's provl-
sions and it's supporters with all the
,vigor he possessed. This nettled the
more progressive and intelligent por-
ton Of his congregation, out nothing
was said or doneuntil a few days ago,

by the principles of the Bennett law,

The Origin of Children,s Day.

The Rev. B. f. Rogers, pastor Of
the Universalist church of Earlville,
ILL.,, writes to The Morning News to
say that "children's day" as OBJ
served by the churches last Sunday is
not of Methodist origin. Hesays that
Prof. Learned, now Of Tufts college.
Massachusetts,. observed the day as
far back as 1857 and 1858 in the Uni
versalist church at Chelsea, Mass.
Mr.. Rogers asserts that he observed
the day at Stoughton, Wis, on the
second Sunday Of June, 1851, when
he had his church decorated with
flowers and cages of birds. 1t is not
claimed that the Rev. DR.. Kidder, the
Methodist author of the custom, sug-
gested it's observance until 1864. Mr..
Rogers maintains that the day had
been observed by many Universalist
churches prior to that time, and says
he is quite sure that The Northwest
ern Christian Advocate has given the
Universalist credit of originating the
day.-Chicogo News.

A Bennett Law Quarrel.

MILWAUKEE, June 19.-The first vio-
lent controversy over the B%ennettlaw
occurred within the aristocratlc Mil
waukee club Tuesday night, when G.
W. Felker, the Oshkosh attorney,
assaulted l.. w. Nieman, editor OF
The Journal, by calling him a liar IN
san alteration. Mr.. Felker, an old
time Democrat, has fervently favored
the Bennett law, andhas written and
spoken in behalf of it, while Mr.. Me
man, who was a mugwump In 1884,
has as earnestly opposed it IN his
paper. The natural sequence was
ridicule of Mr.. Felker in The Journal
and caustic criticism of The Journal
by the Oshkosh attorney. The two
met at the cafe of the club house and
engaged in a spirited argument, which
ended with MI. Nieman's giving the
lie and receiving a slap across the
Gace, which was evidently returned
with interest, as Mr.. Felker brought
several distinct marks upon his own
countenance upon the street yester-
day when he took the train for his
suburban home.

What Is The Objection

A tavorite argument with those op-
posed to the Bennettlaw is that every
one is anxious to learn the English
language and that no compulsion is
necessary. If that is the case there is
no compulsion in the Bennett law,
and it in no way interferes withthose
who are SO strenuous in behalf OF
parental rights. The number of con-
ventions which are being held and the
agitation which is prevalent would
indicate that something is demanded
which those in opposition are not in
clined to grant, and that is instruc-
ton in Observation-Disclosures Pilot.

Sees The Need of 1t.

Editor John Maggie, of The Manito-
voc Pilot, is Democrat. He is a
Democrat through and through. He
is a "tariff-reformer," and is an indie
.fatigable advocate o every policy that
is distinctively Democratic.
But he has been superintendent Of
schools in Manitowoc county. In his
wears of service in that capacity he
has come to know exactly the educa-
ftional needs and situation in this
county, which are not essentially
different from those of other counties
In the state. He says, and he says it
in italics:
There as no man sCho has been super
1ntendent of schools IN Wisconsin, who
<can honestly oppose a compulsory
school law mhich requires instruction IN
English. The writer knows of his W
personal knowledge the need of such
q law in several portions of Sheboy-
gan county.
The superintendent of Jefferson
county has given exact hgtlres to sup.
port the same statement rs to that
county, and so have other superin-
tendents. Now, while Gabe Bouck
and other men who know nothing
about the situation affirm that the
Bennett law is not necessary, here is
n through-going Democratic editor
without suspicion of crankiness but
with a long experience as a school SUI
s~serintendent, who afhrms that the
law is most necessary.
Mr.. Nagle's newspaper shows that
ne is an able and conscientious man.
He has nothing personally to gain by
the enforcement of the Bennett law.
Yet, because he sees the urgent need
of such a measure, he cannot help
supporting it. His testimony is more
valuable than the affirmation Of any
mere Observation-Disclosures Sentinel.

william Paca of wye Hall.

In the early part of July last friend, who is not
a resident of Hartford county, undertook the pre-
paratOn of a sketch of the life and services of that
! distinguished son of Maryland who lived in the
latter part of the last century. William Paca The
torieal Society OF Hartford county; and, of course
it was the design of the author. In its prepare
ton, that the statements made should be hlstorl-

/ Gov. Paca was native of Hartford county, and
that therefore sketch OF his he would very ap,

came to look up the authorities" he discovered
that there was great discrepancy of statement and

county of Maryland was entitled to the honor OF the
nativity of this distinguished citizen and states
man.
! This statement is now made for the purpose OF
bringing out and establishing beyond doubt. If pos
sible, the facts in the as to the place the

born. Actual records certainly must exist in this
county at least this State, of an event so i'm
since 1740, and it is the duty OF the Historical
Society of the county to discover and establish by
undoubted verihcation the existence OF the re-
cords. To that end we, invite correspondence
through the columns of The AEgis and Lateaigencer
or through other channels.

William Paca was bone at Wye Hail. Hartford
