Some changes have been made in IN
old house in Philadelphia, in which ev.
cry American should have an Interest.
Beneath Its roof the colonies threw off
the yoke of England, and declared
themselves independent States, and It
was the bell in Its tower which rang
out on that long ago July day, and pro-
claimed to the world the birth of new
nation. In the course Of time the old
edlfice has been greatly altered. Rooms,
a steeple, even whole buildings have
been added to 1t. Doors have been
built up. and stairways torn down. For
two years patriotic Philadelphians
storing the old house to its original con-
dition- At first they depended wholly
on tradition to guide them, but as the
work went on a picture Of the original
building drawn by an architect was
found, and when the plastering was
cred up for more than Il century came
to light. Some Of the original doors
and carved wood used In decoration
We're found In obscure corners Of the
cellars. The whole building has thus
been restored with Jealous care to its
first condition; an oblong colonial struc-
ture simple and dignified In outline
thanked on either side by small wings,
with which 1t Is connected by open
arcades. The useless relics which had
accumulated during century have
been swept away. The hall In which
the Declaration was signed. stands as
1t did on that first Fourth of July when
that instrument was signed. There Is
the table behind which John Hancock
sat. and the very chairs which held the
stern, grave men who signed away
their title to property and life for their
country. Every American should make
a pilgrimage to the old house which has
prophetic meaning for all mankind.

MORE HOBSON KISSING.
The Merrimac Hero in the Hands of
Chicago Girls.

Chicago. Dec. 20.-Lieutenant Rich
ard Pearson Hobson was heavily bonn
barded by a large field of kissing girls
at the Auditorium tonight. but as no
distress signals were hoisted after the
engagement, 1t is not believed that he
was seriously injured. Lieutenant
Hobson lectured on "The Sinking Of
the Merrimac," under the auspices Of
the Chicago Press Club. and after the
lecture, the members of the audience
pressed forward for an impromptu 1e-
ception. There was much handshaking
and applause, but more interesting
than either were 1853 kisses given the
Merrimac's hero by as many girls.=:The
lieutenant met the attack bravely and
even seemed to encourage it.
During his brief stay in Chicago,
Lieutenant Hobson was the guest of
General John McNulta. at the Union
League Club. After the lecture he
left for Kansas City, whore he will
speak tomorrow evening. Tuesday
evening the distinguished naval Off
Ger will face an audience in Denver,
whence he will proceed to San Fran
cisco and sail for Manila December "a,

documents relating to municipal and
provincial affairs, as we'll as those
necessary to administration, are not to
be disturbed, but only such papers from
the governor generals Office and other
offices as exclusively relate to the Span.

regarding the Cuban debt and the war
expenses are to be sent to Madrid, while
on the other hand the archives of the
autonomist government are to remain
