In the case of Weiss against Ed
gerton school district, at Madison,
Wisconsin, the Supreme Court has
decided that the Bible cannot be
used as a text book in the public
schools. The Court further said tina,
the place where the Bible should be
read is place of worship, and that
taxpayers are compelled to erect and
to support schoolhouses and children
are, under late law, compelled to
attend public or private schools
Constitutional clauses forbid the use
of scooolhouses as places of worship

COMING IN.

The Wyoming admission bill pass
ed the House of Representatives on
March 2sth, by strict party vote,
with the exception that Dunnell, Re
publican, voted with the Democrats.
The only pretext offered by the Dem
ocrats for opposing the bill was the
woman suffrage clause in the consti-
tuition.
In reply to Springer's wild har-
angue over this clause Grosvener OF
Ohio said the Democratic party, since
the downfall of slavery, and since 1t
had ceased to admit States in order
to keep up the policy of slavery, al
ways opposed the admission of States
Hostility, either open and declared,
as now, or covert :. rnsinuated, as IN
the fiftieth Congress, had always been
the policy of the Democratic party
On the question of woman suffrage
he called attention to the fact that
there was nothing in the constitution
which prevented any State from pro-
viding for such suffrage. A vote mere
in favor of the admission of Wyo-
ming by no means meant that the vo-
ter was an adherent of the doctrine
of female suffrage, doctrine which
he was not much alarmed about.

Opening OF the Council at st. Paul-Com-
mittee Reports.
ST. PAUL. Minn., July 4.-The National
Council of Education began four days
session this morning. President Peabody,
of Champaign, ILL.,, addressed the council
on patriotism among American young people
The regular programme was begun by the
presentation of the report of school super
intendence in cities by DR.. E. E. White. of
Ohio. The report of the chairman of the
committee on city schools said the board
of education WAS a village organization
and no board had got beyond q
primitive state, and that it is a failure
In cities. The really successful
schools are SO because of competent super
intendents. Education is something which
cannot be managed by the ignorant, and
the best teachers and superintendents are
spoiled by the ignorant interfer-
ence es1n,ce Of the board of education.
The reading of this paper brought out
9 three hours discussion. The paper was
finally approved by vote of the council.
At the afternoon session the report of the
committee on educational literature was
presented by the chairman, Hon. w. E.
Sheldon, of Boston.

A FOOL AND HIS FEAT.
A Michigander Attempts to swim the
whirlpool Rapids.

A Michigander Attempts to swim tho
whirlpool Rapids.
NIAGARA FALLS, July 4.-John L. soules,
Of Muskegon, Mich, to-day attempted to
swim the Whirlpool rapids. Samuel Smith,
of Lewiston, N. Y, was to have gone
through with him in row boat, but
fiunked. Many hundreds Of people were on
the bridges and banks. Soules entered
the water at 3:18 p. M. near the cantrlever
bridge, on the Canadian side, clad in a
WOODEN shirt and trunk and cork vest. At
$40 he came around the abutments
of the bridge and was tossed like cork in
the volume of water which there forced
j itself through the gorge. When he escaped
this current he had a comparatively easy
lime to the suspension railway bridge, at
which the swift current once more caught
hi m and swept him under the bridge like a
fash. Below this bridge there are two
large rocks. A breaker carried him over
one and the spectators expected to see him
dashed against the other and killed.
Luck favored him, however, and the
current swung him partially round. and he
pushed away from the rock with his hand.
Then another large breaker caused him to
turn somersault, submerRing him for
short time and then keeping him stationary
in an eddy. The spectators thought he was
gone. but he soon swan out, and when near
the Whirlpool Rapids incline railway was
washed INTO an eddy near the shore. With
the assistance Of several spectators he
scrambled out on the rocks in a greatly ex-
hausted condition. He had cut on his
left foot and terrible cash
in the left leg above the
knee which disabled him 80 be
could not walk. These injuries he received
when dashed against big rock. He said,
however, that he would continue his trip
through the whirlpool IL his manager de-
sired, but the latter refused. It is fortu-
uate for Soules that he was washed ashore.
for had he gone through the whirlpool in
his condition he would surely have bean
killed.
