even above his beloved Shakespeare.
Two years after the first Fourth OF
July, there occurred a celebration in
Independence square that had a spe-
cial significance. The advance of the
British, and their occupation of Phil
adelphia during the winter of 1777-
1778, had forced congress to leave the
Quaker city and go to York.
After the evacuation congress re-
of the recurrence of the PRONUNCIATION
of the declaration was held, in which
nearly the entire population of Phila-
delphia Joined. ChevaTier Conrad AL
exander Gerard of France, the first
minister ever accredited to the United
States from any power, was an inter
ested spectator.
During the centennial in Philadel-
phia there was naturally a notable
demonstration, and no less a person
than Don Pedro, emperor of Brazil,
sat among those who cheered The SEN
timents that had sounded the downfall
of monarchy in this country, and were
finally to take his throne from the
ruler of Brazil.
In later years, another representa-
tive of a foreign country was the CEN
trail figure at Independence square.

spoke there with fine eIoquence, and
made one of the best speeches cred-
tied to him in his many feIicitous utter,
ances in this country.
The anomaly that he was the envoy
of one of the most absolute OF mon
arches did not prevent the celestial
from painting in most graphic phrase
what the venerable building stood for.
During his first administration,
Grover Cleveland, president of the
United States, came to Philadelphia
one Fourth of July and standing on a
platform raised on the square, ap-
pealed to the young manhood of Amer
lea that the great lessons of 1776 be
not ignored.
Samuel j. Randall, Judge Kelley,
Gen. Grant, Lewis Cassidy have also
figured prominently in Fourth of July
celebrations there.
During the administration of Mayor
Warwick, himself an orator of genuine
| gifts, every year was made the oc-
casicn Of notable demonstrations to
which were invited men of national
fame.
/ Under the direction Of the governor
Of Pennsylvania work of incalculable
interest has been finished at Valley
Forge park by the state.
Valley Forge has a close relation
ship with Independence day, and the
old camp site has proved a Mecca on
July to thousands of Americans who
come from all over the union to pay
tribute to the fathers of the United
States who suffered and died on this
historic spot. Practically the entire
site has been reserved. A chapel
has been erected on the spot where
Washington was discovered at prayer.
At the moment Valley Forge park
comprises about rs acres. 1t is
properly policed and cared for by
workmen, whose Guty it is to keep the
roads and the entire park in perfect
order.
Public interest has kept pace with
the work. On Memorial day 1900 per
