The Centennial Anniversary.

anniversary of the Declaration
of Independence. The ma
tions Of the earth have glo-
rificd with their rarest It's
sues and the choicest spcci-
mems Of their mechanical and
artistic skill, the centennial
exposition. In addition, how
ever, to these most attractive
features, the exposition has
n profound interest for the
people of the United States,
as representing within its
walls the material progress of
the Republic during the past
hundred years. But there is
II sentiment superior to all
the material triumphs that
the exposition blazons to the
world. 1t is one, too, which
ought to be cherished by all
classes Of our people in a
special manner on the hun
drcdth birthday of our ma
tional independence. Year
after year the recurrence of
the national anniversary has
been celebrated by the ring
ing of bells the firing of can
non, by professions and
speeches. by holiday cxcur-
sions and by juvenile expert
mcnts in pyrotechnics. Of
late years, nevertheless, in
this popular observance of
the day, one essential thing
was wanting. This was to
40 appropriate hOnOr to the
memory Of the founders of
the Republic; to recall their
names; depict in fitting
words the spirit that anima-
ted them, the deeds they did,
the sufferings they endured,
and to dwell lovingly and
thoughtfully OH the great
debt that succeeding genera
tions have owed to them for
the noble heritage of freedom
which they had bequeathed.
More than q year ago, the
Baltimore Sun suggested
that the local celebration of
the centennial anniversary be
made memorable by recount

BARNEY WMLIAMs.-Barney Williams,
whose death was announced in New York
Monday, was native of Ireland. His real
name was Bernard Flaherty, and he was born
in Cork in 1898, and came to this country at an
early age. He was hackman in New York,
and achieving reputation as dancer of Irish
"barn-deor jigs," he went upon the stage of the
old Franklin Theatre in New York, then under
the management of Thomas Morgan, who was
subsequently well known in that city as the
keeper of the Ben Franklin House in Morton
place, and as the builder of the old Lyceum
Theatre in Sudbury street, of which Brougham
and Bland were the managers Beginning as
a jig dancer, Mr.. Williams soon took up Irish
comedy as profession, and his success in that
line dates from his marriage in 1850 with the
widow OF Charles Mestayer, whose maiden
name was Maria PRAY, and who with her sis
tiers, Malvina mrs. Florence) and Louisa, had
become pablo favorites: She made great hit
in that city as Hassarach in the "Female Forty
Thieves" at the old Beach street Museum In
1855 Mr. and Mrs. Williams sailed for England
and PLAYED successful engagement, creating
decided turore in their original impersonation
Of the Irish Boy and the Yankee Gal They
received the honor of royal command at the
Haymarket Theatre, London. In 1859 they
returned to this country, and have since been
playing star engagements all over the country.
Mr.. Williams though not an actor of genius,
excelled in the delineation of the lower types
of Irish character, and owed much to the at
fractions and the brillisncy of his wifes sup
port. He always commanded favorable terms
and was able to amass handsome fortune.
He possessed taste for art, and his house was
elegantly supplied with paintings an statuary.
He was generous and warm-hearted man,
and bis benefactions to needy or unfortunate
members of the profession will make his name
respected and beloved. OF late his health has
been very poor, aud he has been unable to play
much for year or two past.

Grimes and Casualties,

A. G. Melery was run over and killed at
Melrose yesterday, in attempting to get on a
train on the Boston & Maine.
Early yesterday morning burglars entered
the dry goods store of Butler 81. Norwood, so
fremont street, Boston, and attempted to
oyerpower the Waterman. The latter made a
desperate resistance and the thieves fled with
out any large amount of plumber.
