The Real Fourth Of July.A

ION the Sd Of July, 1776. John Ad-
ans, then one Of the representatives
Of Massachusetts, in the Continental
Congress, wrote to his wife, Abigail:
Yesterday the greatest question
was decided which was ever debated in
America, and a greater perhaps never
was nor viii be decided among men
I'm a second letter, written the same
day, he said:
but the day is past. The ID of
July will be the most memorable
epocha in the history of America. I
am apt to believe that 1t will be cele-
brated by succeeding generations as
the great anniversary festival. 1t
ought to be commemorated as the day
OF. deliverance by solemn acts Of devo-
ton to God Almighty. 1t ought to be
solemnized with pomp and parade.
with shows. games, sports, guns, bells,
bonfires and Examinations, from one
end of this continent to the other, from
this time forward, for evermore.'
When the resolution was taken up on
the I'd, all the States, except New York,
voted to accept It. Thus, on the "a day
of July, 1776. the Independence of the
Thirteen United Colonies from the
throne of Great Britain was definitely
decided upon. The I'd, and not the 4th,
may be called the true date of the
separation. We could with propriety
celebrate the Fourth two days earlier.
That the participants in the work con-
sidered the ID as the true date Is
shown by the letters written by John
Adams, quoted at the beginning Of this
article. The popular fancy, however,
seized upon the 4th, the date Of &C
ceptance of Jefferson's more dramatic
declaration Of the reasons for the sep
aration, as the proper day to celebrate.
The debate upon the document was
continued until the afternoon Of the
4th, and, says Jefferson, might have
run on interminably at any other sea-
son of the year. But the weather was
oppressively warm, and the hall in
which the deputies sat was close to a
stable, whence the hungry flies
swarmed thick and fierce, alighting on
the legs Of the delegates and biting
hard through their thin silk stockings.
Treason was preferable to discom-
fort and at last the delegates were
brought to such a state of mind as to
agree to the Declaration without fur
Their amendment.
ut is a mistake to suppose that the
document was signed by the delegates
on that day. 1t is improbable that
any signing was done save by John
Hancock. the President of the Con-
yress. and Charles Thomson. the Sec

piece Of field artillery. The stirring
AFFAIR that the statue will comment
crate occurred on July s, 1879. The
British planned to cause Washington
to weaken his forces at West Point
In order to defend the Connecticut
coast. New Haven. then a town of
1900 Inhabitants, was to be the OBJ
1ect OF the British attack. President
Stiles, from the steeple of Yale Col
lege, saw the British feet preparing
to sail from West Haven. and called
out the students for the defense of
the town.
Under General Garth the British
forced a landing, holly opposed by
the Yale boys and the patriots, and
proceeded to plumber and destroy.
A pitched battle was fought at the
northwest corner Of Broadway, and
the defenders were eventually over
whelmed by superior numbers.
Meanwhile the British had landed
1900 men at Lighthouse Point and
advanced from the east, with the
intention Of forming junction with
those In the town and crushing all
opposition, while Sir George Collier
bombarded the town from the war
ships In the harbor.
BY this time, however. the entire
countryside was aroused, and the pa
triots gathered in such numbers that
the British withdrew and burned
Fairfield. The heroic students of Old
Ell were therefore left in possession
d. the college town. 1t is this fight,
lost In the pages Of history, that the
group SO beautifully delineated, is to |

T. NJ c. Hembroff on the charge Of as
sault and battery.
The case arose over action of Gross
towards Charles Beschetz of East Chi
cago. Gross was hired by Beschetz to
make some collection. Betschetz called
at Judge William Reilands office and
asked for the money which he believed
had been collected
He was told by Gross to come around
the next day. Beschetz said that he did
not have time to keep running around
for the money, but wanted it then and
there.
Gross refused to pay him and order
ed him out OF the office. Besohetz said
he had a right to remain in the office
and Gross is alleged to have forcibly
elected him. Joe Conroy defended Ed
ward Gross, but it is believed that
Judge Hembroff will decide in favor OF
Charles Beschetz. the plaintiff
The case was tried, but the judge
wanted to look up the law before de-
Gliding the case.
