LIBERTY BELL.
Priced Memanto Of Early Days
Of American Independence.

Worlds Fair Grounds. July s.--The
ment have determined to bring II possible
the old Liberty Bell" from Philadelphia
to St. Louis for exhibition at the World $
Fair in 1904 II the effort is successful
II will be the first visit to the territory
west of the MISSISSIPPI river OF this sacred
memento OF the early days OF American
independence.
A psychic influence is I'm the prophetic
Inscription OF the bell, "Proclam Liberty
throughout all the land unto all the in
habitants thereof of-Leviticus XIV, TO-"
cast on IL a quarter OF century before IL
accomplished its epochai task OF calling
the colonies to the first public reading OF
the Declaration OF independence, six score
and six years ago.
There is ratification to the morbid and
sentimental hint at the mutablity of
things In the crack which has parted the
sounding lip OF Liberty Bell and silenced
II forever. Persons who do not know
ask with surprising interest how the bell
came by the crack. and are disappointed
to learn that IL came. not In fire or battle
but from the impact of Its own clapper
on July s, 1885, while tolling the funeral OF
John Marshall.
IL was cast In London In 17b2, and IL
was cracked by blow of its own clapper
a month after II was hung In the state
house at Philadelphia. Page G. Stow,
Americans, recast IL ON the same model
and with the same main inscription. The
Arst recasting was unsatisfactory and IL
was recast again.
Contrary to the popular impression the
bell did not ring at Philadelphia on July
4. 1875. after the passage OF the Declara-
tion OF Independence. Its service to Amer
lean independence was that II called the
colonists TO a public meeting at the state
house on July s. 1876. at which the De-
claration OF Independence was first pro-
laimed.
II Liberty Bell comes TO st. Louis II win
he the sixth Journey which the bell has
taken. The bells first journey was from
Philadelphia To Allentown In l777. TO save
IL from falling into the hands of the Brit
ish when the Americans evacuated Phila-
delphia. The other four Journeys OF the
bell have been TO American expostions:
To Chicago. In 1893; 10 Atlanta, in 1895;
10 New Orleans. on the east bank OF the
Mississippi river, in 1885 and 10 Charles

escaping by leaping over the guard rail
OF an east-bound trolley car at Watses-
sing avenue and disappearing I'm n field

the man through the field for some dis
tance, but finally lost them at a brook
The forger. who was dressed as work
man and carried n kit OF tools, called at
Decker's office and presented a check
for s25. which he asked TO have cashed.
Decker, not knowing the fellow. refused
10 cashsthe check unless II was indorsed
by a-,Srxputable business man. The
stranger said he knew many persons In
the town and would have no trouble In
getting II endorsed. He left his tools be-
hind, and shortly afterward returned
with the alleged Endorsement OF Nathan
Russell. Decker knew Russells sigma
ture well, and saw at once that IL was
n forgerey.
"You are forger." said he to the
stranger, "and you ought TO be locked
up"
Decker sprang into a carriage and
found Policeman Moran, TO whom he
told his story The officer got into the
carriage with Decker and as they reach
ed the corner OF Bloomfield avenue saw
a trolley car going swiftly toward New

they drove at breakneck speed after

At Watsessing avenue the car was over
taken, and Decker saw his man attempt
ing to crouch out of sight In one corner.
When he saw that Decker had discovered
him he ran out OF the front of the car.
and before the astonished motorman
could prevent him he sprang over the
guard rail and ran to the oatfield. The
car was going at great speed, and IL
was wonder that the fugitive was not
killed. The man was about five feet six
inches In height and appeared to be well
educated. IL is believed he wore the
workingman's clothes as a blind.
1t was later learned that he had tried
