of Independence Was Read.

The Paper From Which the Declaration
of Independence Was Read.
In the address on "Old Time News
papers and Their Editors given by
Caleb A. Wall in the Society Of An
tiquity building there was a much
more detailed account Of the Oldest
newspapers printed in this country than
there was space to. print in the report
made of the meeting. In the account Of
newspapers started in the different
states, or colonies, it was stated that
the Philadelphia American Weekly
Mercury, started Dec. 20, TIT, the first
newspaper printed in Pennsylvania. was
printed and published by Andrew Brad
ford till his death, Nov. 23, l742, and
afterward continued by his widow un-
til l746, and soon after discontinued.
This Andrew Bradford was son Of
William Bradford, the first printer in
Pennsylvania and in New York, and it
was for Andrew Bradford that Benja-
min Franklin first worked as printer
when he left his brother James in Bos-
ton and went to Philadelphia in 1923,
at the age of 16, he and his brother
having had falling out. After work
ing a short time for Andrew Bradford,
Franklin started u printing office on his
own account in Philadelphia with the
idea of starting also another newspaper,
but he was baked by the sudden ap-
pearance of another newspaper there
Dec. "a, 1928, by Samuel Keimer, called
The Universal Instructor In All Arts
and Sciences, and Pennsylvania Gazette
Franklin, being greatly disappointed,
used his utmost efforts to bring the pa
per into contempt, having such effect
that after it had been published nine
months less than 100 subscribers had
been obtained for it, and Franklin man
aged to buy it out for a small consider,
alton. He expunged the first part of the
title, retaining the last part the Penn
sylvania Gazette, and continued it with
this name with success. Until Frank
lin appointment as postmaster OF Phil
adelphia in TAO, however, Bradford''
Mercury had the largest circulation, bu
after that Franklin s paper had the leat
in circulation and influence, and Brad
ford's was soon after discontinued. s.
we have here practical evidence O
Franklin's success Of newspaper bust
ness competitor.
In 1748 Franklin took in David Hal
as partner, who succeeded to the sol
management Of the paper in 1853, whel
Franklin was appointed deputy post
master general for the colonies. Afte

This is story that an Alabamlan
tells about Senator Pettus and ex-Sena-
tor Pugh: During Mr.. Cleveland'a
first administration Mr. Pettus was
anxious to fill the place on the supreme
court bench to which Senator Lamar
was afterward appointed. He applied
to his friend Senator Pugh, and the
latter made an earnest and sincere ap-
peal for the appointment of Mr.. Pettus.
The president inquired as to the age OF
Pettus, and when informed said he was
too old. Senator Pugh communicated
this fact to Pettus, and also suggested
to another eminent but younger lawyer
in his state to apply for the place, as 1t
was settled fact that southern man
would surely succeed to the vacancy.
Senator Pettus heard of Senator Pugh'a
letter to the other friend, and it made
him mad. Coming to Washington. he
called on Pugh and asked him why he
did not stand out for him. Pugh ex-
planned that Mr.. Cleveland would not
alter his determination about not ap.
pointing a man of Pettus' age, but this
did not satisfy Pettus. Before leaving
Pugh Pettus said, We'll. may be too
old to sit on the supreme bench Of the
land, but l am not too old to sit in the
senate, and your seat will just about tit
me- Pettus was as good as prophet.
He succeeded Senator Pugh on the 4th
of March last, and if I am not mistaken
occupies the identical seat which Pugh
occupied during former term. Sena-
tor Pugh was n last December. Sena'
tor Pettus is 76. "-Washington Post.

The fact is that any sort of theory
about what art or literature should do
is of very slight Importance in compar-
ison with a knowledge of what it does
do. Theoretical criticism is useful in
the analysis of actual pleasure, but 1T is
as nothing when weighed in the balance
against what we really love. The paint
ers are forever telling us that we are
geese to like pictures with story in
them. The dramatists are forever in
sisting that play which is merely good
to read is no play at all; the poets, that
all real sonnets must follow the Pc
trarchan model; the grammarians and
the rhetoricians, that this or that IA
miliar expression is incorrect Even our
histories of literature disdain the ia
vorite reading Of the people and discuss
only what appeals to the cultured class
eS.
The attitude Of all is at bottom die
tatorial. They attempt to prescribe what
we shall like, which is as useless as to
prescribe what we shall eat. Let these
painters anu uTduldIlntS anu pooOS-SO
the simple minded people has always
said in its heart-offer us what they
choose that is beautiful and interesting.
So much is the privilege Of the maker,
the seller. But we are free to enjoy
what we choose. That is the privilege
of the consumer. If there is beauty we
cannot ses, we are glad to be reminded
Of it. If what we like is ugly, explain
us that also, and we will look carefully
to our preferences. But we, not you
are the judges of our own emotions
and by us in the last resort must your
fine theories be tested. Art is your
work, but it is our play. We have oul
work also, which is judged sternly by
the laws of supply and demand. In ou
scant hours of leisure we must play a
our nature bids US.
1t is, then, as one of the rights Of
citizen that we Woodworking people de
fend our hearty interest in the historical
romance. -Forum.

changed the name to Philadelphia Ga
zette. his son and q Samuel Rolf sue
ceeding in the paper.
After some other changes in propri-
etorship and management, this old pa
per, started by Benjamin Franklin in
l729, ceased to exist in 1845, when it
was merged in the Philadelphia North
American after life of 1l6 years. This
Pennsylvania Gazette afterward, in
1772, named the Philadelphia Gazette,
Is the paper containing the Declaration
Of Independence, which was intercepted
on it's way from Philadelphia to Boston,
July IA, 1776, from which Isaiah Thorn
as, the founder Of the Massachusetts
Spy, read that immortal document to
his fellow citizens in Worcester, from
the porch of the Old South church, the
first time it had been read or proclaimed
on Massachusetts or New England soil.
1t was very natural that Isaiah Thorn
as, who was then postmaster Of Worces-
ter by appointment of Benjamin Frank
lin as postmaster general of the United
Colonies, should read that document
from paper which had been SO long
identified with the name of his distin-
guished friend and fellow printer, Ben
jamin Franklin.
To show that the citizens Of Worces-
ter appreciated the patriotic act Of
Isaiah Thomas in being the first to read
the Declaration Of Independence on
Massachusetts soil, at the celebration
of the Fourth of July in Worcester in
1880, when Rejoice Newton presided,
with Colonel Isaac Davis and Otis Cor
bett as vice presidents the Grafton was
by Hon. Peter c. Bacon, and addresses
were made by Governor Lincoln and
John Davis, and the following toast,
proposed by Isaac Goodwin, was drunk
with signal enthusiasm, "Our venera-
BILE townsman, Isaiah Thomas, Esq,
who first promulgated the Declaration
Of Independence to the inhabitants OF
this vicinity, from the church and the
press. F"
In the eulogy on Isaiah Thomas de-
livered after his death the following
year by Isaac Goodwin, special refer
ence was made to this act of Isaiah
Thomas by his eulogist. - Worcester

Clark draws from an inside pocket a
roll of old newspapers and hands me
one. We spread them on the pavement
as Mohammedan unrolls his mat for
prayers, and then we take off our boots
and coats. Our soaked, pulpy boots we
fold in our jackets and use them as pill
lows, and we soften our bed by spread
ing over the newspapers our outer coats,
which thus have chance to dry in the
warmth Of the room and in that which
comes from our bodies. We need no
covering in the steaming heat in which
we lie, and can see at glance that
Clark and are more fortunate than
most of the other men, for few Of them
have outer coats, and in their thread.
bare, filthy garments they lie, with
nothing but paper between them and
the floor, their heads pillowed on theil
arms.
By no means are all Of them asleep.
In the thick air above their reclining
figures there is an unceasing murmur
of low, gruff voices. What words can
fit the hellish quality Of that strange
converse? 1t is not human, though il
comes from living men; it has no hui
NOR, though it touches life most init
mately; it knows not hate and craving
need and blank indifference, but all
these feelings speak alike tongue Of
utter blasphemy, and it is not prurient,
even though it reeks with coarse OBJ
scenity. w. A. Wyckoff in Scribner 8.
