THE FOURTH WE USED TO KNOW.

Oh, for another July Fourth,
The Fourth Of days agone,
When cannon beloved on the green
Before the break Of dawn,
When with the village band we march
Afire with freedoms glow!
Oh, let it come, with fife and drum,
The Fourth we used to know!
Do you remember how we rose
Long ere the break Of day
And hurriedly slipped on our clothes
And made a dash away
To where the bells and cannons were,
Where smoke was hanging low?
All, yes, a morn Of freedom born,
The Fourth we used to know!
Do you remember, too, the flag
Above the village squareI
How proud and glorious we felt
To see it waving there!
Do you recall the stirring speech
Which set our hearts aglow,
The grand parade, the games we play
ed,
The Fourth we used to know?
The Fourth we used to know. Oh,
where
Has the old spirit fed?
We still are brave; cannot think
That spirit wholly dead
The spirit born at Bunker Hill,
At Concord, long ago.
Oh. let it come, with fife and drum,
The Fourth We used to know!

We're making history expected that Ju-
ly ., and not July i, would be recOg-
niZed as the birthday of American lib
erty The Virginia delegates entered
congress under instructions to propose
q declaration Of the independence Of
the colonies, and in June Thomas JEFF
ferson was appointed by congress chair
man OF Il committee to draft declara-
ton The spirit of this declaration was,
however, anticipated by Richard Hen
ry Lees famous resolution.
1t was July 2, 177G, that the Lee res
olution was passed that the united
free and independent states. On July
4, after two days debate. the Declara-
ton Of Independence was read and
agreed to, but not signed. On the fol
lowing day copies were sent out
through all the colonies. On the 10th
Of July it was resolved that the Decla
ration passed on the 4th be fairly en-
crossed on parchment and signed by
every member. On the ID of August
the Declaration was signed by the ma
jority. But not until the 4th of Sep
tember of the same year did the Hon.
Matthew Thornton sign it. There We're
a number of others who did not affix
their signatures until ISL among them

Although the popular belief that the
Declaration was signed on July / is up
held explicitly by John Adams, Thom-

FARCE COMEDY GIVEN.
A Performance I'm German Before
Eight Hundred People.

The Dramatic Club of the Social Turner's
presented in German last night at the Ger
man House to an audience of about eight
hundred persons the farce-comedy Social
Obligations" The cast was composed of
Richard Lieber, Mrs. Julia Lando, Mrs.
George Mueller, Miss Emile Kipp, Peter
Scherer, Miss Emma Metzger, Otto C.
Mayer Emerich Schmid, Benno Schmidt
Heinrich Notch, Mrs. Emma Lieber and
Gottlieb Grueb, and all parts were inter-
preted in a pleasing and efficient manner.
The play contains many interesting situa-
tions showing the difficulties encountered
by a wealthy halter in dealing with lovers
of his daughter and his clerk, who is ambi-
tious TO be a renowned poet and has a fac
ulty of appearing at inopportune times and
forcing guests and members of the hatters
family to listen to his awful productions
In the third act the old man, who has ar
ranged to give an elaborate party at his
house, finally discovers that he has sent out
in his invitations the wrong date. and that
evening finds all the guests assembled at
his house much to the surprise OF others
of the family and the recipients of his in
vitations. He attempts to explain, but his
efforts are not received In q friendly spirit.
He urges them to return at the time in
tended by him for the party but on that
night, after all preparations had been made
for them, regrets from each were received.
The clerk finally solves the problem by
proposing that the workingmen employed
forts may not be wasted. The curtain falls
upon a happy scene in which the clerk and
would-be poet is betrothed TO the old mans
daughter.

Rev. Albert j. Brown, of the Friends
Church, breaches Sermon.

Church, breaches n Sermon.
Rev. Albert ]. Brown. pastor of the First
Friends Church, preached to a very large
audience of railway postal clerks yesterday
morning. A brief statement about the
origin of postal service was made by way
of comment on passage in jeremiah, Ii:
"One post shall run to meet another and
one messenger to meet another. to show the
King of Babylon that the city is taken on
every quarter" He said: THE custom of
transmitting messages originated in war
and government. The kings messengers
often carried private dispatches for small
sum. University students of medieval
Europe we're frequently employed to carry
messages upon their return home. Butchers
and drovers carried letters from the cities
country Foreign mail was left spread out
on table in house in Boston for weeks
until some one from the small towns or the
country carried il out of the city. AS the
rights and privileges of men were recog-
nized private correspondence has grown"
The text for the discourse was Righteous
ness eXalteth a nation, but sin is a re-
preach to any people, 1t was said that
the attainment of a righteous life cost no
more than the effort put forth in an I'M
righteous life; whatever men do they
should do with a passionate love for IL. a
passion for righteousness will produce the
Christ life in men, The passion of our
great men and women for the good has
made them most potent factors for right
eousness. as was illustrated in the life of
the Earl of Shaftesbury. Following the
sermon Miss Mary Norris sang beautiful
solo, THE Ninety and Nine"

JUDGE TAYLOR HERE.
He VIII Argue in the Vandalia Case
ALLEN County Politics.

r. S. Taylor, of Fort Wayne, is at the
Denison. His visit here is as counsel for
the State in the Vandalia case, which will
be argued before Master in Chancery Noble
c. Butler to-day. Mr.. Taylor says the State
has hopes of making it apparent to the
court that on the showing of the experts
who examined the company's books. and
the other facts In the case, the State is en-
titled TO between s., 000,0 0e and s., 10000
The fact that the court has up to this
time been generally favorable to the posi-
ton taken by the State has given Messrs.
Taylor and Ketcham ground for belief that
the State will win in the end.
In discussing politics in the Twelfth dis
trict Mr.. Taylor said that several congress
sional candidates had been talked of, al
though he did not know that any of them
were willing to run. Among those men-
toned, he said, were DR.. Stemen, who
made the race two years ago. Robert NJ
Hanna, a Fort Wayne attorney, and Rob-
ert Il. Barr, of Kendallville. He did not
regard the prospect Of electing a Repub-
lican county ticket as bright.

He breaches Morning and Evening at
st. David's Episcopal Church.
Father Huntington, Of the Order of H~sy
Cross Westminster. Md, began a series of
addresses and conferences yesterday morn
ing at st. David's Church, corner Of Tai
bott avenue and Twenty-first street. The
service was the regular worship of the
church. Father Huntington found his text
in the gospel for the day, Thou hast kept
the good wine until now" He began with
a story that served to illustrate how in
stinctively people feel, at least at times,
that Christian character is the best thing
in the world. He then asked how men
came by q Christian character. The first
point advanced was that habits make char
acter. The same act repeated a number of
times generated habit. Habits will form
whether we like or not. habits of thought,
but what makes an act?-the motive which
Is the soul of the act. A noble motive
makes a noble act, an ignoble motive
ignoble act. 1t is said that we are not
really answerable for our motives, be-
cause we are always carried on by our
strongest motives. 1t Is quite true that our
strongest motive determines our action,
but this does not free us from RESPONSE
bility, for we make the motive. There are
but two ends of motives, one is God and
the other is self. What is not done for
God is done for self. and that which de-
termines us to choose God at the end of
action is love for God But to love God to
live for Him. amid the affairs of time is
difficult and we can do it only by the grace
and strength which God himself gives. Yet
Ii Is only love for God which gives us di-
vine motives. noble acts, heavenly habits
and a Christian character. But the reward
Is sure"
Father Huntington addressed a meeting
at the y. NJ. G. A. yesterday afternoon

last night. He will hold meetings the rest
