It is be any difference of opinion as to what the Penal: Code says in Chapter I, of Title 10, however widely opinions may differ as’ top. “the advisability of such stringent). Theatrical and other perform- ecMicd “ances on Sunday ate only one of the several matters discussed umder the heading: ao. “Of Crimes Against Religious Liberty and Conscience.” 1#¥*™ Seventeen, sections treat of this subject. The first, Section 259, de- fines “the Sabbath’ as the first day of the week. Seriously interrupting “the repose and religious liberty of the community” on that day is “Sab- bath breaking.” ‘ “All labor on Sunday is prohibited excepting the works of necessity or charity.” (Section 263.) \ ( All public sports, exercises or shows are also prohibited, as are . “shooting, hunting, fishing, playing, horse-racing, gaming and all noise disturbing. the peace of the day.” : Except they are works of necessity, all trades, manufactures, agri- cultural or other mechanical employments are also prohibited. It is allowed to sell articles of food on Sunday before 10 o'clock in the morning. Caterers, hotel and restaurant keepers may sell food at any time during the day, There may also be sold at any hour on Sunday dgars, smoking and chewing tobacco, milk, ice, and sods-water, fruit, flowers, candy, news- papers, drugs, medicines and surgical appliances, provided that none of ~ these is sold where intoxicating liquors are kept for sale, No lawsuits may be brought on Sunday and legal papers may not be served except by the authority of special statutes. Any attempt “by means of threats or violence” to compel any person fo attend or refrain from attendance upon any form or kind of religious service is a misdemeanor. ‘(Section 272.) 2 The attempt to prevent anybody "from performing any lawful act enjoined upon or recommended to such person by the teligion which he| - professes’ ts also a misdemeanor. Sabbath breaking ts Itself punishable for the first offense by a fine ‘of not more than $10 and imprisonment of not more than five days, and for the second offense by a double fine and a quadruple imprisonment. Any one who uses profanity or commits a nude or indecent act or Makes any unnecessary noise in such manner “‘as to distrub the order and solemnity” of a religious meeting, or conducts a horse race or gambling “within two miles of a religious meeting, is guilty of a misdemeanor. All processions and parades on Sundays except funerals and religious processions, are forbidden, and’ at these exceptions “there shall be no Music, fireworks, discharge of cannon or fire-arms,” except that music may be played at military and fraternal society funerals, The prohibition of “theatrical : y and other performances” is most Comprehensive, Besides beg guilty of a misdemeanor, the own- ers and lessees are subject ta a penalty of $500, to be -Paid. to the Soclety for the Reformation of Ju- venile ‘Delinguents, and “every such exhibition, performance or ex- ercise of itself annuls any license which may have been previously obtained.” | In the face of these specific sections of the Penal Code it is hard to see how any judge could decide differently from Justice O'Gorman.

Second Year. HE_ second Year. of the war opened with another attempt to Invade Canada, Three American armies were maveed at various points for this purpose, Of tho three, the “Army of the West,” under Gen. Wilk lam Harrison, was the only one to accomplish great results, The British held not only Canada but Michigan, and, under Gen. Proctor, they began the year by ‘attacking the nearest American strongholds. Their Indian allies massacred prisonere and committed other. atrocities that roused the whole West to fury and made thousands of formerly indifferent men enlist in the United States Army. The Indian tribes of the West and South had com bined under the famous obief, Tecumseh, and ravaged the frontler at will Tecumseh and Proctor, were names of terror throughout the Northwest. ; Before the end of the summer, however, Harrigon had retaken Michigan, killed Tecumseh and broken up the fhdian federation, and chased Proctor far Into. the Canadian woods, demolishing his army. The Northwest was thud restored tothe United States and was sate from further invasion. The battle of Lake Erie that enabled Harrieon to achieve all this was one of the Ereatest th American history and will be deecribed {n fill In another article, While all this was kappening in the West, Gen. Dearborn, with th “Army of the Centre,” had taken up a position on the Niagara River, ane after capturing Fort George, at the river's mouth, drove the British before them {nto Can- Failure of ada, dut accomplished conmaratively Hitle, Canada Invasicn, _ Dearborn retired in August and Gen. Wilkinson, a Another Revolutionary veteran; succecded him | as Commander-tn-Chief. Wilkinson /fought one or two indecisive battles, tried to take Montreal, fafled and went soon after Into winter quarters. The same atitumn the last American forces were driven out of Canada, and a British force, fallowing the fugitives, Invaded |New York State, where they captured and burned to the ground the cities pot Buffalo, Black Rock, Niagara, Lewiston and Tuscarora. So much for tho | ill-fated schemes of conquering Canada. i In the far eouth, meantime, the tribe of Creok Indians had risen against the white and massacred all they could lay hands on. On Aug. 30 they istormed Fort Mimms, on the Alabama, and murdered {ta garrison and sush women and children as had sought refuge in the fort. But Gen. Andrew | Jackson with abont 2,000 men swept down npon the Indians, chased them linto thelr own country, inflfcted fearful punishment and forced them to beg | for peace, On sea the continuous Mat of victories that had sc signglized our Navy in 1812 were not equalled. Yet our sailors bore thomselyes bravely, as @ | brief chronicle of their deeds will show: | Our sloop-of-war Hornet on Feb, 24 captured the British brig Peacock after a hot fifteen-minute fight. But the United States brig Argus, after preying on commerce along ths coast of England, was forced to surrender in battle to the English war sloop Pelican. A litle inter the Enterprise, an American ship, met and overcame the Boxer, just beyond Portland, Me., the commanders of both vessels dcing killed during the battle. One of the most dramatic sea fights of the year, however, was between the Chesapeake and the Shannon. : The British were blockading Boston Harbor, when on June 1 Capt. Law- Tence sailed the United States fricate Chesapeake out to sen. She was at once attacked by the British frigate Shannon. ‘The artillery duel raged fur ously for a few minutes. Then part of the Chesapeake's rigging was shot away and she became unmanageable, backing awkwardly into the Shannon. Her torn rigging and her anchor became enmeshed with the other drigate’s ropes, and she lay helpless, swept by the Shannon's merciless cannonade, unde unto death. As he was carried ds 5 below he gasped out his last com “Don't give up the ship!" But even as he died the British boarded the Chesapeake, rushed over the |dlood-soaked decks and forced the Americans to surrender. Down came |the Stars and Stripes from the masthead and the ensign of England was hoisted in its place. This crushing defeat was a severe blow to America’s hopes, and England's naval supremacy seemed restored. A monument in Trinity churchyard, New York City, attests to the reverence felt by his countrymen for Lawrence's memory, At about this time England, despairing of easy victory, declared her willingness to let the war end. George III., King of Great Britain, was hope- 5 lessly Insane and the reins of government were ¢ in the hands of his eldest son, the Prince Regent “Don't Give Up (afterward George IV. and great uncle to the the Ship!” pressnt sovereign, Edward VII.). The Prince $ Regent intimated that he would lsten to over. tures for peace. President Madison replied: that he would gladly consent, !f the “impressing” of American seamen on British ships should be forever discontinued and other differences satisfactorily set- tled. But England would not axree to this, and the peace pran fell through, Then the Czar of Russia offered to act as arbiter between the two warring nations and to seek some mutually satisfactory means of ending hostilities, But England refused his generous offer. Russia. both then and during the elvil war, proved herself our country’s stanch friend, Peace overtures falling, the war of 1812 dragged on; enlivened, in the fall of 1813, by one of the.most brilliant naval exploits’ in history. 7 POSEEEEEESSESOSSS COE SESSEOS ESO OOES SESESORSEEESOSOS ?
