TODAY IS GLORIOUS
TO These WOMEN
Their Fathers Fought at Ticonderoga
and Brandywine-Real Daughters
Of American Revolution.
BY w. @. SHEPHERD.

BROOKFIELD, N. Y, July A.
Three really genuine daughters CT

about the safest and sanest Fourth to-
Mrs. Phoebe Wooley Palimeter. OF
Brookfieid, and Mrs. Esther Ann
Shepardson and Mrs. Lydia Melissa

Though intensely patriotic, for their
fathers fought in the long war that
made us free and independent, they
deplore the tendncy of tn present. gen
GRAFTON to max the Fourth day OF
noise and sport, forgetting almost en-
tirely the patriotic side Of the celebra-
ton.
Mrs. Palimeter, now aged >and too
feeble to leave her bed, takes the
greatest possibl plasur In thing over
and over again on the Fourth the
events Of that terrible war as told her
by her father. TO her children and
grandchildren, who gather about her
today, she delights to tell Of her
soldier boy who followed Ethan Allen
at Ticonderoga.
my father always believed that
God, himself, helped the Americans
because he wanted, in some corner OF
this earth, a place wher frdom might
xist
Il believe 1t, too" she added.
They must have suffered up in
those northern woods near Ticon-
deroga. My father was founded ter
ribly, In the side, at the battle OF
Bemis Heights, Oct. z, 1777. He and
another wounded soldier made their
way to Albany where there was hos
pital. They had only one horse be-
tween them. On would ride until the
other was too weak to walk and then
he would alight and help the weak
man to the saddle. In the last stages
OF the terrible journey neither one
could lift the other to the saddle.
They could not even lead the horse,
but II followed my father and his COM
Iade through the woods to Albany.
II have heard my father tell about
how pay day after pay day went by
without any pay for the soldiers.
Their shoes were out and there were
no shoes to replace them; their CLOTH
ing became tattred but there was no
new clothing In sight. The blood from
their torn and frozen feet stained the
the SOW In winter. The sun, In sum-
mer, beat down on hatless heads.
People who say that this govern
ment is only test OF democracy and
that its success hasn't been establish

God fits behind the United States;
he won't let our nation 6ie; It seems
to me 1t is a big part Of his plan for
this earth"

helps a person see what Independ-
ence day means to those who can
look back TO afather who fought UNI
der washington. At their home were
lemonade and ginger snaps for. every
body, and everybody for miles makes
IL a point to visit the patriotic SIS
tiers. .s-l..
Mrs. 6hepardson, the older daugh-
ter OF Jeremiah Perdy, revolutionary
war hero and protege OF washington,
delights in telling how her father,
then lad of Is, joined the army and
went to the front.
AT first they didn't want father to
go. The colonel said he was too young,
and that there were enough men to
do the fighting.
All right, he says 10 the colonel,
If you won't let me enlist I'll go long
with my brother anyhow. You can't
drive me away from him.
THAT was in Westchester county,
New York, one August day in 1777
When General Washington heard
about him sticking to his brother, ne
put his brother in the artificers in
stead Of among the shooting men.
Then washington kept my father
about his tent. He used to tell him
to write page from some book every
day, right there In camp. Father used
To say that Washington was hardly
ever too busy to say 10 him: Well,
how are your writing lessons gettins
on today?
Father used to lay the papers he
had written on General Washington's
desk. I suppose they used to bother
the general a lot father used to say
In after years.
But, after while my father could
write so well that General Washing
ton made him an assistant clerk md
he used to write to the generals die
tation."
Young Perdy was close to the faith
er of his country during the famous
battle of Brandywine and took part
in the fight. He had grown to be
a young man at the battle OF York
town and was In at the surrender OF
CORVALLIS.
1.-The Fourth OF July is getting TO
mean less and less to the American
people," the younger daughter" OBJ
served. They, or many OF them,
seem TO have forgotten the suffering
and hardships the continental troops
endured to make Independence day
permanent. Why, most people think
more about the baseball game played
today than they do about the signing
Of the declaration OF independence.
Children shoot off flrecrackers not to
celebrate the deeds Washington,
Adams. Jefferson and other revolu-
tionary heroes, but just to have a
jolly time"
No one around these parts Is al.
lowed to forget that this is Independ-
ence day and that II ought to be cele-
brated as such an important day
should. The three daughters the
revolution see to that.

AVIATOR IS KILLED.
Machine Dashes TO Earth and He ls
Immediately Killed.

BETHENY PLAIN, Rheims, France,
July 4.-The opening of the second
aviation meeting yesterday on the his
toric field OF Betheny was marked by
fatal accident, the aviator Wachter
being killed.
Wacbter was the first OF the con-
testants to appear for practice yesrcr-
day morning. In his Antoinette mon
oplane he battled long with the gale
amid the enthusiasm Of the specta-
tors until the rain compelled him 10
make a descent. He resumed his
flights in the afternoon and was fly
ing magnificently, when suddenly an
explosion was heard. The wings OF
the machie doubled up and the mono
plane dropped to the earth with light
ming speed. The aviator was killed
instantly In full view OF the speota-
tors, among whom were his wife and
little daughter.
The accident Is attributed to the
breaking OF the wire stays.
The meeting will continue until
July 10. Seventy.two machines are
entered, representing 13 types. The
competitors include Latham, Count de
Lambert, Sommer and other cracks.
The prizes amount to $4,000.

ment and accused of embezzling sum
anywhere from 100000 to million.
who dropped out OF sight while com
ing to Detroit from Buffalo on the
steamer Eastern States last Tuesday
morning. His body was found In the
river OF Crosse lie, Sunday. The dis
covery was made by Elmer Wilson,
No. 81 CourtIand-ave.; E. and NJ.
Stringer, No. 739 Michigan-ave., and
Howard Fessenden, No. 104 Joy-st..
while they were cruising down the
river In a steam launch. They towed
the corpse to- shore and then notified
Marshal John Winnie, Of Trenton, and
the corpse win remain In Mr.. Todd's
morgue until instructions are received
from relatives for their removal TO
Canada.
The Identification was made by a
watch found In Gouldthrite's pocket.
On Ii was the inscription, "A Merry
Christmas to my dear husband from
his loving wife. Ada" A picture of
Mrs. Gouldthrite was on the inside of
the case. and In locket attached to
the watch were the pictures Of two
children, boy and girl Also In

room No. 22S OF the Eastern States,
the room used by Gouldthrite, and q
check for room No. SO OF the Yates

Letters in overcoat. Send them to my
wife" In Gouldthrite,s stateroom were
also found bloodstained shirt aus
coaIaFs giving The Impression that h

drowning himself.
The Detroit police were slSeptica
about the death Of Gouldthrite. be
lieving that he had left the traces o
suicide for the purpose OF throwing
them OF the track. Gouldthrite's wife
however, was convinced that he wa
dead. She came here from Minneap
oils, where she was visiting, and asket
the police to help find her husband
She left the city after couple o
days investigation.
Gouldthrite disappeared from OF
tawa while the police of the Canadian
government were making an investi
cation of the embezzlement charges
against him. The investigation Is sale
to have revealed that he was sys
tematically robbing the government
for years by collecting commissions
from firms which were furnishing the
government with supplies.

: he Thinks.
sv OLSON GARDNER.

!, WASHINGTON, July A cup OF
tea ON the porch OF the Taft cottage
ut Bevsrly is not equivalent to an in
dorsement OF the Taft administration.
Theodore Roosevelt has not yet de-
livered his o. k.
"will" has become "Mr. President"
AS Mr.. President, the personal re-
lation between win and Theodore
is at an end. President Taft must
give an accounting of his acts as presi.
dent. AS yet he has given no ac-
counting.
Col. Roosevelt left the Beverly sum-
msr capital cottage to keep an en-
gagement which he said was '1MPOR-
TANT." His engagement was with
Mr.. Joseph Bristow, progressive sena-
tor from Kansas, who came TO lunch
with him at Oyster Bay.
The anxious followers OF the Taft
ntiministration--the Republicans who
are shouting. party regularity" and
who declare that the tariff bill Is the
best one ever passed--are eagerly try.
ing to make capital of the Beverly
event. They try to make II seem the
forerunner OF political alliance.
They are saying, with what assur-
ance they can muster, that this is a
certain indication that TAFT and Roose-
welt are fffendg-- friends personally
and politically-and that Roosevelt
will be found defending and indorsing
the whole Taft regime.
The inference IL hasty.
Roosevelt has seen Taft.
Roosevelt has seen Bristow. He has
seen also LaFollette, Pinchot. Gar.
field, and he has appointments with
Dolliver, Cummins, Beverage and Di-
rector Newell of the reclamation SER
vice.
Roosevelt admits that he has talked
politics with his progressive visitors.
According TO all accounts. the time
at Beverly was consumed In reminis-
cences OF the famous hunt and tour
abroad.
President Taft will have full oppor-
tunity to defend his public acts. Col.
Roosevelt wants TO hear both sides.
