THE OLD BELL FOUND
1T UPSET CHESTER TORIES BY IT'S
RINGING IN 1776.

ANAaNNAaNa AAN 4 ANNs
A special from Chester of to-day
says. John Wetherill has found and
will have placed in tower on the Oak
Grove schoolhouse bell with q lumi-
nous record. IL is said by the histor-
ian that when the people of Chester
heard that the Declaration of Inde-
pendenoe had been signed they ran to
the Court House. where this bell then
hung, and rang It most OF the day,
much TO the discontinue OF the many
Tories.
The old bell was cast In 1920. In
1850, when the county seat was moved
to Media, the borough OF Chester pus-
chased the buildings and the bell was
removed to the old schoolhouse. In 1885
a new building was erected and the bell
was placed in the loft OF the new build
ing and forgotten. There is now a
movement on to have a great ceremony

Of 100 feet the bullet penetrated only
five feet into the snow target. A bull

it is said, to go through tree of three

should only penetrate eighteen inches
farther into such soft stuff as snow
seems altogether startling. The ex-

A writer in the Independent SAYS
that the number of languages spoken
by the inhabitants OF the Philippine
archipelago is ten. DR.. Daniel G.
Brinton of the University of Pennsyl-
vania. writing in the American An
thropologist, states that the Spanish
government has bestowed official rec
ognition upon thirty-five. The latter
statement seems authoritative, but the
former is sufficient to give a compre-
hensive idea of the heterogeneous mix
ture of races with lingual diversities
who dwell on the islands OF the archi-
pelago. The difficulties to be sur
mounted in governing and Christian
izing them when way is opened for
carrying out the declarations of the
recent proclamation of the United
States commission, are also very ap-
parent. The polyglottish complexities
alone are appalling.
The London Spectator thinks "Am-
erican character" responsible for such
tragedies as the Windsor hotel fire. It
says: THE wonderful inventiveness of
Americans seems to be consistent with
fatalism which regards care as either
useless or discreditable" Yes, our
fatalism takes the optimistic form; we
run for luck" and often reach it; but
one who habitually takes the chances,
without taking also rational precau-
tons, is likely to get caught sooner
or later. We are not taken up into the
region of safety by the mere force Of
specific levity,"

. Three representative of Simpson
College, Indianola, gave a recital at
the NJ. E. church, Audubon, Thurs
day night, May Is. They We're Miss
Ethel Y. Coolidge, professor of vocal
music: Mr.. George F. Sadler, pianist,
student in the class of 1900, and Miss
Grace Marker, elocutionist, also stu
dent. The recital was of high order,
and gave great delight to the audience.
Miss Coolidge has beautiful soprano
voice, of great purity, sweetness and
compass. She has studied from the
best teachers of New York, Boston
and Chicago; her singing shows a
voice highly cultured and her natural
and unassuming manner lends a pecu-
liar charm to her work. Her singing
delighted the audience. Mr.. Sadler
rendered a number of classic selections
with genuine ability and fine taste.
He gives promise of becoming an ac-
complished musician. Miss Markers
elocution exhibited careful training
and great natural talent. Her forte is
the rendition of child thought and
character She was repeatedly and
enthusiastically encored. This recital
which is to be followed by several
others during the coming summer,
cannot fail to give fine impression of
the work done in Simpson College
Conservatory of Music,
