"THE HOUR OF SUNSET
A Revolutionary Relic Which Barrel
Escaped the Refuse Pile.

A Revolutionary Relic Which Barely
Escaped the Refuse Pile.
There was a new picture in the Ma
honal museum of Independence hall
come, as it were, to be seen by strangers
from far off lands-and there were faces
there to see it that had only recently
come to the shores of America. The
picture of itself, its simple cardboard,
little more than square foot in size, it's
somber print, making curious reflection
upon it's true meaning, seemed of sno in
trinsic value. 1t had held place be-
times among the cherished relics of
colonial estate; had been cast among
strangers, to be finally rescued from the
rubbish of an auction house to find final
rest in the hall of all halls.
1t is ''The Hour of Sunset" on the
Fourth of July, 1776. The members of
the old Continental congress, having
signed the Declaration, are seen in the
act of leaving the hall. Hancock, dis
tinguished by his dark dress, stands on
the steps in front Of the hall door, an
nouncing to friend that the Declara-
ton has just been signed. Franklin is
seen at his right, Jefferson leans against
the right pillar of the door. Adams is
conversing with Jefferson. Between
their heads appears the face of Living
ston, and against the left pillar stands
Roger Sherman. These form the group
on the steps.
Beginning then on the left of the pict-
ure, and counting every figure with nu-
merals as a guide, may be discovered,
first, citizen of the day with the famil-
lar Revolutionary costume; then VIII
son, a signer; next citizen, and in the
order given, a Tory, another signer, a
young woman and presumably her far
ther, the Indian who bore the Declare
ton to the carriage of Washington,
Thomas Paine, talking with Benjamin
Rush and Robert Morris, both of whom
were signers. Behind the heads of citi-
zens are seen, and to the right is crowd
of patriots, Quakers, Tories, etc., eagerly
discussing the nature and merits of the
Declaration.
For about three years the picture.
which bears the imprint of "Groome &
Brightly" was in the possession of John
A. Keell, we'll preserved man Of more
than sixty years, who has lived in the
quaint two story and slant house, with
its snow white trimmings, for more than
third of a century. He was formerly
with M. Thomas Sons, auctioneers,
where he lost many valuable relics in
works Of art by the fire which destroyed
that firms South street house, and lat
terly has been in the employ of Ellis &
Shaw. It was during sale by this firm
of an old estate on Arch street, where
"The Hour of Sunset was offered and
would not bring a song, That he himself
withdrew it at the best bid made.
Then it lay in the Office Of the Chest
nut street store until that house was
closed, and all the rubbish being cleared
out Mr.. Keell remembered the ancient
print and saved it from the ash barrel.
He took it to the National museum,
where he thought it rightfully belonged,
as all his inquiries have failed to dis
cover one like it, and there in the an
tique case on the west side of the room
it may be found in an obscure corner

! CHANCE ACQUAINTANCE.

To have met but once, but once,
And swept forever apart
On the worlds dark tide that rushes ON
And sunders many hearti
To have looked on eyes like yours,
To have touched such a rose leaf hand
And newer, never again to meet,
But in Memory's dreamy landl
Once In the lonely dark
It stabbed me through and through,
Tho sudden thought Of your sweet young
face;
And once, ere the carly dew
Was dry on the springfng grass,
And the morning wind blew freo.
almost met you beneath the frs,
Where the path turns down to the sea.
And your smiling shadow lives
In the chambers of my brain,
Where my spirit wanders, a homeless ghost,
Seeking your face again;
And II you be living yet,
Or where, cannot know,
But my spirit clings in a bootless dream
To our meeting long ago.

The German Emperor and speechmaking.

The German Emperor and Speechmaking.
The following anecdote is related of
the German emperor during his journey
in the iceboat to Stettin. During the
dinner on the Haff, Herr Haker, coun-
cilor Of commerce, rose, and was about
to thank the emperor in the name of the
merchants of Stettin for the interest
which he had shown by his journey in
the trade and communications Of Stet-
tin. The emperor noticed the intention
and forestalled him by saying: "Dear
councillor, let us leave this for today,
otherwise shall have to reply, and we
are just now SO jolly. Your healthr'
Of course the speech remained unspoken.

Big ColIeotions in Now Yorl. Churches.

Big Collections in New York Churches.
A collection taken up at the church
which Cornelius Vanderbilt attends one
Sunday morning yielded $11, 500, al
though it was not an unusual occasion,
and no special requests for large amounts
had been made. At some of our churches
the Sunday collection runs frequently as
high as s., 900 or 81, 1000, and at Grace and
Trinity there are occasional collections
as large as $4,000. This one, however,
is believed to be the largest collection
ever taken up on an occasion not extra
ordinary. New York Cor. Philadelphia

MARTIN AND BROWN TALK.

BROWN GUARANTEES PROTECTION AND MARTIN
GUARANTEES BROWN.
Now that both Joe Shoneman and Vincent
Burke. together with all our associate colonists,
had united in testifying to the leadership Of Elmer
w. Brown, it became necessary for Brackett and
to prove that most important point.
But important as the point was, the proof was
very easily secured. Out Of his own mouth did
Elmer w. Brown. Tammsny committeeman, give IL.
Brackett and | called at Browns saloon at 10
o'clock yesterday morning. The proprietor was IN
bed up stairs but at IL o'clock he made sleepy
appearance. We had never personally met breWn
before SO an introduction was necessary.
this is my fren Bracket. We belong to your camp
at Nos 1870 and 1872 Macdougal-st. Yer moy
have heard of US from Joe ShOneman or Burke"
"Ah, yes" said he pleasantly, Il know you
boys" ,,,u,.
register yesterday was because we were informed
thot he wanted us TO wait until the next reglstra-
ton day.
"Oh, that's all right, boys he said. . did
issue the ORDER for you see, we had been going II
pretty strong from Nos 1870 and 132 Macdougal-st
early in the day and the Republicans were getting
suspicious: sos just enjoy yourselves and register
on the next day." .
Now, Mr.. Brown, there is one more thing we'd
like to know" said Bracket: Are we safe
Will we be pinohedP And If it comes to that viii
we be protected?"
PROTECTION ASSURED.
"You are all right, my sons" was the reply
II guarantee your safety. 1 take your protection
upon myself
Then he turned and left us. stopping when some
distance away to shout back at us. Remember
I'll be answerable for your protectionl" .
Our next interview was with Barney Martn
Brackett and appeared in that officials office iI
the Stewart Building at o'clock in the afternoon
and were promptly ushered into the Tammany
chieftain's presence. We took seats, and listened
to an animated discussion between Barney anc
a hard-faced petitioner. Finally Martin weariec

"The fact Is, we are from Washington anc

"4h, my boys. you must not come to me WITT

THE SCHEME.

THE SCHEME.
That the Tammany Hall managers nave realized
that their case this year was desperate one ever
since the issues of the campaign became clearly
defined has been we'll known to many close OBJ
servers Of the political situation in this city That
their desperation would lead them to adopt des-
perate remedies was expected by those best ao-
ouainted with the character OF the men in charge
of the Tammany Hall plan Of campaign. They
had staked their entire political future as In
dividuals and as an organization upon their sue
cess in, the State, and it was natural that such
men would stop at nothing which promised them
victory. The secret reports which have been re-
ceived at Tammany Hall in the last three weeks
have shown these cool and calculating political
ramesters that the natural and unavoidable
tendency Of the contest joined between Tammany
and the people was to increase the Republican and
diminish the Democratic vote in every polling dis
trict Of the State. Unless extraordinary means
were rcsorted to, defeat was as certain as the
coming of November 8.
Naturally they turned TO colonization as their
only escape from an adverse verdict Of the peo-
ple. and they have undertaken to avert the ca
lamity which oonfronts them by a series of plans
for augmentng the fraudulent vote Of this city
which are unprecedented in their boldness and
Ireckessness. The evidence In Republican hands
shows that these plans contemplated the registering
and voting of large importation in the Ist, IId,
