ACCEPTED THE CALL.
The Rev. DIR. Cook Becomes the Permanent
Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church.

Tho Rev. DIR. R. B. Cook publicly
announced Sunday his acceptance OF
the call of the Calvary Baptist Church
to become its pastor. He said that the
present condition of the church and
the field indicated that there was n
work for them to do there. He urged
them to trust in God and TO rely upon
themselves. Their willingness to work
manifested during his three month IS
engagement with them and the many
words of encouragement he had re-
ceived from those outside of the church
had led him to accept the leadership Of
the church as permanent pastor.

City Election.

tfty fstecttOns
The Democratic City Committee has
notified the Department of Elections of
its desire to have all men qualified to
vote at the approaching city election

THE SNAKE" GAMBLING BILL.
President Salmon of the state senate Pro-
duces HIS Record of the Bill That Really
Passed That Body,

---"N ~"N'--'s
Passed That Body.
Deputy A ttorney General Peter l..
Cooper, Jf., has not the slightest doubt
that the anti-gambling bill, drawn by
Walter III. Hayes, as stated by Mr..
Hayes, Wednesday, was passed by the
Senate, and that it is not the bill
which afterwards went before Gov.
Tunnel, and was found to contain a
SNAKE The chief difference be-
tween the bill drawn by Mr.. Hayes
as legislative attorney, and that which
went before the governor is that the
second bill contained the words in
any one year, as applying to the limit
of $500 fine, which virtually made the
fine license of $500 to carry on
gambling.
Members Of the Senate who were
present on Saturday, March 11th, when
Mr.. Hayes bill came up. verify the
attorneys statement with regard to
its passage. President Pro Tempore
G. II. Salmon came to town yesterday
and showed his record to Mr.. Cooper.
The bill had been recorded by him
under the title of bill No. 60 as an act
to repeal chapter 2l9, Vol. XVII.
Laws of Delaware. In the hurry of
the last days Of the session, he had so
entered it instead of writing the title
Of the bill itself, which showed that
it was to enforce section II article 2
of the Constitution. The bill had all
three readings on that day under the
suspension of the rules, after it had
been favorably reported by Senator
Pyle, as chairman of the committee on
cities and towns.
Senator Salmon says the bill as read
did not contain the words Sin any one
year" which are feature of the snake
bill. He did not notice the handwriting
OF the bill, for lit came to him folded
up. He is sure, however, that it was
not the bill which is now IN Mr..
Cooper's possession.
