Prominent Speakrs Aid In Making Bes- semer's Fourth of July Celebration the Greatest Success In It's
 History-Genera News.

Bessemer, July 4-(Special) 1.-The Fourth of July celebration today far surpassed anything ever given in the city. Im- mense crowds began arrviing early this morning from all over the district, and by noon the city was crowded with vis- itors, many of whom had never visited the city before. The event of the day was a reception of and the speeches made by the distinguished gentlemen who contrib uted so much to the days success. Henry F. DeBardeleben was introduced by b. IL. Lopez Mir. Lopez paid a high compli- ment to the man who more than any other has done so much to place Bessemer in the high position in the commercial and industrial world which she occupies today. Mr. DeBardeeben was visibly af- fected by the kind expressions. MT. To- peg stated that while MT. DeBardeleben was not actively connected just at this time with the interests of Bessemer, he had proven beyond shadow of a doubt, in many ways, that the growth and pro gross of the city was always foremost in his mind.
 MT. DeBardeleben's speech was read by Judge w. P. McCrossin of Birmingham, owing to the fact that MT. DeBardeleben has not been very well for the past few weeks, and the long trip taken by him to- day had fatigued him greatly. The speech follows:

John Shelton, the Cobbler, in Con
gress.

There was once a shoemaker who left
his bench to come to Washington and
occupy a seat in the House of Representa-
tiyes from the fourth district Of New Jer-
sey in the Thirty-second and Thirty-thlrd
Congresses-from December, 1851, to
March 4. 1855. Immediately upon the
adjournment of Congress each session he
went back to his shop and stuck to his
last until he died. and when he died he
left a will bequeathing his scanty prop
erty to the public library of Trenton upon
the condition that none of 1t should be
expended in the purchase of novels, be-
cause, as he said, Truth Is always pref
erable to falsehood, and life is too ear
nest and time too precious to be wasted
on fictions that give no knowledge. Fur
thermore, he made it condition that the
library shall be attended by persons who
never use intoxicating beverages or
| tobacco in any form, because persons
addicted to such habits are not safe ad-
visers to the young, and do not furnish
| such an example as should be set by
| officials who come in contact with the
| public
His name was John Shelton; he was
| born on farm in Bucks county, Pa,
| and learned the shoemakers trade in
| Trenton. After he had served his ap-
premiership he set up shop and did
custom work and repairing. In the mean
time he studied medicine, and, after seven
years, passed his examinations and got a
| lege of Philadelphia. He carried on a
| small practice in connection with his
| shoamaking, and on the other side of his
| shop was shelf with a row of bottles
| containing drugs and medicines from
which he used to compound prescriptions
| for the poor SO that he was able to mend
| bodies we'll as soles. Most of his medi-
| cal practice, however, was gratuitous
among the poor. His shop was the rem
devious of politicians. philosophers. cranks
| and men of ideas. and the discussions car
| ried on there night and day were not
without wisdom or interest. "Dr. SHELTON
| was recognized a man of brains, learn
| ing and original ideas, and was elected a
| member Of the board of education. which
| organized the first free school system in
the New Jersey capital. Then, somehow
or other. the democratic party took him
up and elected him to Congress, where he
never distinguished himself, but was a
| member of the silent majority. He was
| talked of as a democratic candidate for
| governor afterward, but was never nomi-
| mated and never ran for any other office
| After his retirement from Congress he re-
sumed his trade, returning to the same old
| bench, just as he did after the adjourn
ment Of every session while he was a
| member of the House. During his absence
he left his shop in charge of an assistant

Not a Slogan.

Of the late Samuel Sloan. the noted
railroad man. New York broker said the
other day:
Mr.. Sloan owed great part of his sue
cess to his prudence. He was never
reckless. he never threw good money
after bad. but. once he perceived that an
investment had a hopeless look, he aban-
doned it cooly and turned his attention
to something more promising.
Most of us are different. We lose our
heads over some trifiing loss. We waste a
dollars worth Of time and energy trying
to recover a penny. In short, we are like
the man who lost the copper.
"There was man who dropped a penny
down a crack in a boardwalk. With a
wire and stick he tried to recover the
penny for long time. Then, shaking
his head sadly. he went home.
But the next morning he returned
early to the spot and he was bending
over the crack with a quarter in his hand
when a friend happened along and said:
Hello Joe. what are YOU doing there p
Well, I'll tell you said the other.
Yesterday l dropped a penny down this
crack. Now 1 reasoned that it wasn't t
worth my while to pull up four or five
boards to find a penny. but last night in
bed an idea struck me: and I'm going to
drop a quarter down to make it worth my
while -
