the Local Exhibit Need Money.
The Commission for the District OF Colum-

THE commission has spent great deal
of time and energy in getting the exhibit IN
its present SHAPE, ana IL W i'll require the
constant care OF three persons, ana the ex

Richmond, Va, Oct. 4.-Starting from
Philadelphia this morning. the Liberty
Bell tonight, amid blaze of red fire
invaded the very heart of the one-time
Confederacy. 1t was a peaceful invasion,
however, the only bar to complete sur
render being a host of pretty girls, who
swarmed about the railroad station and
till well on to midnight claimed the ven
Grated relic as their own. After leaving
Washington there was n lack of furmality
that was refreshing, but the crowds grew
larger and the enthusiasm seemed 10 ln-
crease as Mason and Dixon's was left
behind.
In quaint old Alexandria there was
marked reverence for the bell, and many
heads were uncovered as the train pulled
slowly through the town.
AT PATRIOTIC FREDERICKSBURG.
The stars and stripes were literally dis
played, and feature was the number Of
colored men and women who joined in the
homage paid the old relic. At Quantico
there was another large crowd and a re-
newal OF the hurrah, but il was left to
fredericksburg to give what up 10 that time
was the most enthusiastic welcome Of
the day.
A tremendous throng crowded in and
about the railroad station and a company
OF the National Guard acted as special
escort. Mayor A Z. Rowe, was repre-
scented by Seymour White. in The W clcou-
iBg ceremony, and Mr.. White made an
eloquent ADDRESS. To this address Mayor
Charles L. Warwick responded on behalf
OF the Philadelphia councilmanic COM
mittee, ard he " as warmly ohcered at every
telling period.
Then the beauty OF virginia took POSSES
sion Of The hell car, ard for threc-quarters OF
an hour steady stream OF omen and
children assed over the platform Many of
them brought punches OF graceful golden
rod, W hich they laid upon the relic, and one
stately naatron brought a wreath OF ex-
qniSite roses, which she huns about the
oaken frame. There was music and
lusty cheer as the train pulled cut.
SAFE AT RICHMOND.
At Milford, boswell and Ashland, the
stops Were short but there was no lack
OF warmth in the greeting given the bell
Red lights were burned and salute OF
twenty-one guns beicheti forth as the south
ward moving party steamed into this an
cieut capltal.
This salute was fired by the famous
Richmond Howitzers, and the equally ia
nous Richmond Blues, acted as guard
Of henor during the all-night stop. The
committee Of city officials. headed by Mayor
Ccllyson, took charge OF the party on their
arrival, and While the belEcar was left
in charge Of the reserves and the Rich
mond Blues.

the Executive MarSiOn where Gov. o'Fer-
