RHODE ISLANDS INDEPENDENCE
 DAY NEXT WEDNESDAY
Will Be Officially Celebrated on the
 Above Date.

Providence, R. l., May 1.-Rhode Is- lands Independence day will be off, cially celebrated on Wednesday next, May 4. Through action by the general assembly the citizens of the state will by observance uphold their contention that the Rhode Island declaration of independence antedates all other such documents, including the famous Phil adeIphia declaration of July 4, 1776.
 From among the nusty archives of this state there has been brought to light within a few weeks a document which not only supports the contention that the legislative act of independ- ence dated from May 4, 1776, but is in itself of much historical significance. This is the original paper on which Gov. Nicholas Cooke and members of the general assembly of Rhode Island individually enrolled themselves pub- licly as open rebels against the king.
