Rang In Its Third Century.

The bell on historic old st. Johns
church, in Richmond, where Patrick
Henry made his famous speech prior to
the American Revolution, rang in the
twentieth century. This bell is thus
given the distinction of being the only
one in this country, with the possible
exception of that on old Liberty hall, in
Philadelphia, that has rung in three
centuries. Old st. Johns bell has an
interesting history, Many years ago.

not positively identify GRAHAM as the
man he had seen.
Herman E. Phillips a carriage painter,
said that in his opinion Graham and a
negro passed the barn of his neighbor on
Capisic street on the afternoon OF Satur-
day January 18th. Witness described he
negro and said he wore Scotch cap. Wit
ness said that Graham wore white
sloucA hat. He had seen Graffam with
this hat on in jail and he answered the
description Of the man he had seen. He
identified the negro. Witness took par
ticular notice OF the two men because he
thought they were tramps and as his wife
was alons, witness followed them TO see
they did not call at his house.
On cross examination witness said he
saw these men on the side of Copisic pond
team driven by Mr.. Whitney. witness
was questioned rather sharply by MIR
True as to when he first thought of this
matter and about his Identification. Wit
ness said that he hadn't the least doubt
In the world but what the man ne ha1
seen on that day was GRAHAM.
Thomas Gallant OF Westbrook is track
man for the Portland railroad company.
He saw a negro and a white man in front
of the car barn in Westbrook. lie was
standing in front of the door at the time
and they passed within two feet Of him.
1t was about six O'Clock or 8 l5. Witness
gave description Of the negro. He said
the darkey was the taller man OF the two.
The white man had on a cap. Witness
identified the negro as the man he had
seen. He could not positively identity
GRAHAM, but said the white man looked
very much like Graffam. The white man
was ahead of the negro. They turned up
towards Gorham corner.
On cross examination witness said his
attention was attracted to this OCCUR
renee at 6 80 o'lock Sunday morning.
After some hesitation witness said he
thought GRAHAM was the man he had
seen, though it was showing at the time
and Graffam's cap was pulled down over
his face. He had seen GRAHAM five or
six years ago hut he didn't rscognizs him
that night.
The court adjourned at this point until
ten o'olock this morning, when Mrs.
Mosher will be examined, and one other
witness for the state The defense will
not put ON any evidence so 1t Is under
stood.

PORTO REGAIN EDUCATION.
A Quarter of Adult Males Can Read and
 Write.


 Write.
 Major J. P. Sanger of the Inspector generals department, United States army, has been making a census of Porto Rico, with the express object of finding what proportion of the male population of voting age know enough to entitle them to voice in directing the affairs of the island. He finds that if there were enforced the simple edu- eatioRal qualification of mere ability to read and write only 25 per cent of the native-born males of voting age and 24 per cent Of all males of voting age would be entitled to vote Few countries if any are as distinctiyely native in the nationality of their in- habitants as Porto Rico. Among the males of voting age only 3.S per cent are of foreign birth, and of these 2.S per cent are Spanish. Exceedingly few of the inhabitants who make up the 3.8 per cent have forsaKen their alien citizenship. In Porto Ri2o there are 201, ,071 males of voting age, 59 per cent of whom are whites born in Porto Rico, 36 per cent colored men and the remainder whites born in Spain or in other countries. Of the 120,295 whites of Porto Rican birth 35,397 are literate, or 29 per cent of their class, and of the 73,010 colored 12,596 can read, or IT per cent. In the cities of San Juan and Ponce is concentrated considerable part of the foreign population of the island, and here, if anywhere, will the restriction of the suffrage to literates give the foreign born an advantage. In the city of San Juan the native whites and colored each outnumber the for eign element, while together they out number them nearly 2.5 to 1. In Ponce this proportion is even greater, the native whites being more than three times as numerous as the foreign ele- ment, while the colored are double it's number.
