The formal reception of the old Lib
erty Bell at the Worlds Fair, in New
Orleans, occurred yesterday II was
the notable event Of the Exposition
thus far, not excepting the opening
itself. Evidently 4 tender cord IN the
Southern heart was touched by that
battered apd broken relic of royoIu-
tionary days. Its cracked sides re
spond to the touch of the hammer in
tone hoorse with age, but eloquent
in its patriotic associations, If Fan
Gull Hall was the cradle of liberty, that
bell was the infants first rattlebo%.
The poet who sung Of love as lord
of all suggested il dim outline the
deepest and most far-reaching truth Of
all philosophy. Sentiment is the dyn,
amite of the world. The great think
ers who have ignored OF moderated
its power have gone far astray in their
calculations. In no respect Is this
more emphatically true than in Affairs
Of State. The cohesive power that
binds i nation together into one Peo-
pie under one government Is the
pathos Of patriotism rather than the
cold analysis Of probable advantage.
As consequence, anything, no matter
what, which serves to rel1pdlc the
smoldering embers Of lore Of county
must be accounted auspicious

Claiming tho City Of Galveston
New York World, Jan. IS.

New York World, Jan. 49, ..@..
An advertisement in the columns
Of to-day's World, asking for informa-
lion regarding the heirs of Col. Asabel
Langworthy, deceased, may probably
result in bringing about litigation
similar to that Of Myra Clara Gaines
against the city of New Orleans. In
this case, the ownership Of the land
upon which the city Of Galveston,
Texas, is built, will be disputed, Mr..
Chester N. Case, who advertises for
the lost heirs, is not familiar with all
the details of the case, but he says
that he has sufficient information in
his possession to convince him that
Col Langworthy's heirs have a better
claim against Galveston than Mrs,
Gaines had against New Orleans.
1t appears from information re-
coiyed from Mr.. Case that some fifty
years ago Col. Laugworthy was
prominent and well'to-do lawyer in
this city. He married q very eharm-
ing young lady, and in 1881 or 1882
he disposed of his real estate in this
city and went to Texas in hopes of
bettcring his condition. His wife
went with him. Col. Langworthy was
appointed agent Of the Galveston Bay
and Texas Land Company, in which
capacity he acted for a number Of
years. The transactions Of the com
pany were conducted entirely with the
Spanish Government, as Texas at that
time bad not catered the Union. In
1894 a survey of league of land on
tho east end Of Galveston Island was
made and the property purchased from
the Spanish Government by Col Lang
worthy. The necessary papers, in
Guiding the field notes, were made out
and the land was transferred to Col
Langworthy. 1t consisted of nearly
5000 acres, upon which tue city Of
Galveston now stands
Some years later Col, Langworthy
and his vito died. Mr., Case does not
know whether they died IN Texas or
in this city, but the man who made
the survey fifty years ago is living,
and is familiar with the history Of
Colonel Asabel Laugworthy's life.
The deceased gentleman left two
charming daughters, who married
well-to-do men in this city Their
names are unknown 70 Mr. Case.

An OH Friend.
some Talk WIN a Madison square
FRrtor.

H
William W. Randall, the advance
manager of the Madison Square Rri5afe
Secretary company, came up on last
evenings train from Denver. His visit
here was for a two-fold object-to look
after the interests of his company, which
plays in Cheyenne on Monday night, and
to visit the city editor of this paper and
his family Mr.. Randall AMI u city
editor are old friends, and years ago they
were connected together for a period, with
the San Francisco press. Mr.. Randall
torsook journalism some four years ago to
accept the more lucrative business Of
theatrical agent, and at the earnest solicit
tation Of Mr.. Gustave Frohman, joined
the business STAFF of the well known
Madison Square theater, New York, with
which establishment Mr.. Randall has
since been intimately associated. He has
been in Cheyenne with Hazel Kf1ke
twice, the RcJoh once. and now with
the Pirate Secretary He tells great
stories about the success of the latter
play, which he says is. in his opinion, the
funniest thing seen on the stage for
years, and will be presented at the opera
house with identically the same people
who participated in the original produc-
ton, among whom he particularly mem
toned William H. Gillette, the creator of
the title role, THE Private Secretary"
whose success in this part has been the
talk in theatrical circles during the past
season. Mr.. Gillette will probably be re-
membered by his humorous characterize
ton of Buxton Scott" in Young Mrs.
W'nhrop last year. NJ. A. Kennedy,
one of the best comedians on the stage,
also appears. Mr.. Randall did not ap-
pear at all surprised at the large advance
sale that Manager Boardman showed him
of the Pirate Secretary, as he said this
was the rule and not the exception with
this play. The advance sale, he said. in
Denver, where the PIRATE Secretary
company opens Tuesday, is already the
largest of any company yet appearing at
the Tabor Grand opera house this season
at the regular prices. Mr.. Randall gees
down to beaverton this mornings train,
to meet the company, which arrives
there Sunday from Kansas CITY.

Monseignor Capel, the eminent divine
and lecturer, passed through Cheyenne
last evening en- route to the Pacific coast.
He came up from Denver, where he has
been sojourning for the past week, having
delivered some three or four lectures there,
besides receiving a great deal of attention
at the hands of prominent people in that
city. Although the monseignor, as is well
known, is a devout Catholic, the leading
protestant divincs everywhere pay their
respects to him. A great compliment, as
it were, to his undoubted genius and in-
tellectuality. A reporter of THE LEADER
had a few moment chat with Monseignor
Capel at the depot. Approaching the
distinguished divine. the reporter said:
"Monseignor Oapel, l believe"
