FOUR DAYS LATE.


On July 8. "a warm sunshiny morn
ing" four days after the adoption of
the Declaration Of independence, the first
Fourth of July celebration took place In
Philadelphia.
One of the Unpublished letters of John
Adams gives the following description:
Congress determined to adjourn over
that day and to dine together. The gem
eral officers and others in town were In
vited after the president and council and
board Of war of this state. In the morn
ing the Delaware frigate, several large
ealleys and other Continental armed ves-
sells, the PENNSYLVANIA ship and row gal
leys and guardboats were all hauled off
into the river, and several of them were
dressed in the colors of all nations.
AT / o'clock the ships were all manned
that Is. the men were all ordered aloft
and arranged upon the topyards and
shrouds, making n striking appearance
of men drawn up in order in the air
Then | went on board the Delaware with
the president and several gentlemen of

DEATHS ON THE FOURTH.


Death has come to many eminent men
on the anniversary of American indie
pendcnce and the following among 9TH
ers: Samuel Richardson, novelist, In 1761 !;
Fisher Ames, statesman and president
of Harvard college in 1904; William Kir-
by, naturalist, in 1850. Besides, as every
patriotic American should remember,
though doubtless II is sometimes forgot
ten, two presidents of the United States
We're called from earth on July 4, John
Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
John Adams succeeded Washington,
and Thomas jefferson succeeded John
Adams. To jefferson is credited the au-
thorship of the Declaration of Indcpend-
ence. Adams and Jefferson though Of
ten differing on political topics, were
friends to the last and in spite of the
fact that they lived far apart and were
inirm at the last kept up their intimacy
by means of correspondence to within a
short time of their death, which occurred
almost simultaneously in 1926, on the
fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration
whose signing Is celebrated on lndc-
pendencc day.
On the tomb Of Jefferson at Monticello
he is described as the author of the Dec
laration, the founder of religious free
dom in Virginia and of the University Of
Virginia, but there is curious omission
of the fact that he was twice president
of the United States.

There have been glorious Fourths sig
nalized by the triumphs of peace as well
as those of war. On this day In 1917
the work of excavating the Erie canal
was begun. On this day in 1925 was be-
gun the Miami canal, connecting the Ohio
at Cincinnati with Lake Erie and To-
ledo. On this day in 1928 the corner
stone of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road station was laid at Baltimore. The
road was made of wooden rails, and the
cars were drawn by horses. On this day,
in 1910 the first pig iron was produced
by the use of anthracite coal. On this
day in 1S4S was laid the cornerstone of
the Washington monument. On this day.
in 1874 was publicly opened the great
steel arched bridge, triumph of mod-i
ern architecture, over the Mississippi at

1t is not probable that better story
teller than eX-Lieutenant Governor Da-
yid A. Ball of Missouri ever stood be-
fore an American audience. In 1896
he was trying to persuade the gold
Democrats that, Notwithstanding the
fact that they differed from the rcgu-
lars on the financial issue, they agreed
with them on so many points that they
ought to vote for Bryan anyway. He
wound up that part Of his speech as
follows:
"IIow would a Mossback Missouri
Democrat look voting with the Repub-
lcans? / will tell you. Up in Pike
county an old chap undertook to COM
NIT suicide by hanging himself with a
blind bride. Just as he was about
dead his son cut him down. The old
man rubbed his eyes and said, John, If
you had let me alone a minute longer
/ would have been In heaven Yes
replied the boy; you would have cut a
deuce of figure in heaven looking
through blind bride. wouldn't your
And that" concluded Mr.. Ball, as the
way a Missouri Democrat would look
voting for Republican under any cir
cumstances whatsoeverw-C Clark

Hon. George S. Boutwell, of Massachu-

stations in public life, says:
Il am not inclined to think that the
people of that time were more patriotic
than the people are today, for | believe
that the great mass of American citizens
are today full of patriotic spirit and that
