THE OLD LIBERTY BELL.
History Of This Relic of the Revolu.
tonary Patriots.

tionary Patriots.
Overvigorous ringing of the old Lib
erty bell many years ago on the occa-
sion Of the celebration OF the Declara-
ton OF independence was what put
the crack in II and forever destroyed
its resonant tone. 1t was cast by Pass
& Stow In Philadelphia and hung in
the belfry of the now historic state
house In lower Chestnut street early In
June. 1853. 1t contains 2,0S0 pounds
of metal.
Near the top of the bell were cast
the words proclaim Liberty Through
out All the Land Onto All the lnhabit-
ants Thereof" Prophetic of its des-
tiny, this gave 1t the name Liberty
bell
When the British army marched on
Philadelphia In 17TT the bell was TAX
en- down by patriots and carried off in
the night to Allentown In order that
1t might not fall into the hands of the
enemy. In 1881 1t was returned TO the
tower of the statehouse.
For more than half hundred years
thereafter the bell was rung and hon
ored on Independence day every year
before the crack appeared in 1t. An
effort was made to restore its tone by
saving the crack wider, but this prov
ed of no avail. The bell was finally
removed from the tower to lower
story of the statehouse and used only
on extraordinary occasions. Subse-
quently 1t was rugged up on its origi-
nal timbers In the vestibule. In 1899
it was exhibited at the Columbian ex-
position in Chicago.

SOCIETY VAUDEVILLE
DECIDED SUCCESS

The Society Vaudeville, under the
auspices of St. Mark guild given at
the Electric theater last Thursday
night, was a decided success. The
opportunity of witnessing local talent
drew as nothing else could and the two
hundred and eighty chairs of the
theater were filled long before the cur
tain went up. Richard Pooley. who
sold tickets for the event, was forced
to turn as many as seventy-five people
away because of a lack of room.
Throughout the whole performance a
crowd hung around the entrance, en-
deavoring to get a mere peek, since
they were not able to see the whole
performance. Buck Kelley. marvel
at spelling, kept them cOnvulsed with
laughter. Mr.. Kelley represented a
blind sandwich man. He paraSed up
and down Oak street, feeling his way
cautiously with cane, and busrting
forth at intervals in song. Before the
curtain arose the audience was kept
amused and fed by Dean Ballard, who
sold peanuts ct cetera and handed back
live witticsms to the wags of the
crowd.
The first number of the program was
Spanish dance by Miss Wilma Thom-
son. Miss Thomson's- costume was
beautiful and the dance excellently
portrayed. She was followed by Miss
Constance Henderson, who gave an ex
hibition of Indian club swinging. The
clubs were decorated with vari-colored
electric lights. Miss Henderson was
applauded throughout the number.
Mrs. c. H. Henney, dressed as negro
nanny, gave an exquisite rendition of
some of the old time southern lulabies.
Mrs. Henney was followed by Miss
Morrison and Fordham kimball in
fancy dance we'll rendered. One of the
pleasant surprises of the eveaing was
the song of Miss Milliken and Brooks
Haworth. The number began as
though it were some short skit, when
the two began the song, ''Just Tell Me
With Thine Eyes - The laugh pro-
dueers of the occasion were the two
following numbers, the Jewish imper-
sonation by w. A. Rallies and the
Gold Dust Twins, Brooks Haworth and
Banks Mortimer. Some beautiful
songs were rendered by Mrs. l.. X.
Armst ong. The next number has had
the audience guessing since the time
of it's happening. Joe D. Thomson
began an lgorotte war dance. which,
however, was of short duration. Some
say that he received telegram with
bad news, others that his costume
became disarranged beyond repair.
At least, he was fieeting shadow. A
delightful solo was sung be Mrs. F. E.
Deem.
The event was closed by ''The Bach
elors Reverie" Prank Potter Lucas
with the assistance of Miss Helen
Sutthoff, school girl; Miss Morrison,
chorus girl; Miss Lenore Adams, ath-
letic girl; Miss Howard, Spanish girl /;
Mrs. r. R. Carter, widow; Mrs. l.. K.
Armstrong, Yama Yama girl; Miss
Constance Henderson, riding girl: Miss
Peters. society girl; Miss 1mith,
country girl; Miss Milliken, bride.
Mrs. C. E. Coffin rendered valuable
assistance during the evening as plan
list. Phil. Carroll was stage director.
The ushers were Crawford Lennon,
A. l.. Peters, L. R. Pooley and Duane
Sommerville. Delightful music was
furnished by the mandolin club.

PETRIFIED TREES.
The @stens Forest" One of cslifornia's
Natural Wonders.


California. among many other natural
wonders. contains sstone forest"
This is located In sonoma county, only
a few miles from the little resort of
Callstoga Springs. This forest con.
sists of a great many petriiied trees.
all of which are prostrate.
In respect to the great number of
petrif1ed trees aud their immense size,
the California '.stone forest surpasses
that of Arizona. Strange 10 say. very
little Is known about these wonder
full Sonoma county petrifactions-so
far as the general public is concerned.
Many of these trees are OF enormous
size. The famous "Queen of the For.
est" is a prehistoric redwood about
eighty feet long and nearly twelve feet
In diameter. II has been broken In
several places. and these breaks are as
clean as IL cut off with saw. A tree
has grown up through one OF the breaks
and has attained quite a large size.
Another giant tree known as the Mon
arch" lies near by. which is almost
ninety feet long and is without a
break. This tree is fir. and averages
ten feet In diameter Not far away Is
another giant son of the forest-a red
wood that Is about sixty feet long and
nine feet in diameter. THIS tree is
broken into many hundreds Of pieces.
yet 1t retains its shape almost perfect
ly. Scattered about for the area Of
several acres are many other pieces OF
petrifaction. So perfect has been the
transmutation into stone that the grain
of the wood still remains very clear.
and the variety Of the tree may be cas-
lily determined. scientific American.

Clever Vaudeville Folks at Electric.

After the jokes and performances of
the usual circuit vaudeville actor, it is
refreshing to local theater goers to

and dances of MIR. and Mrs. Davis, the

Electric theatre. Their daily appear
ances have met with the praise of

fected the negro dilect. shines as a
black face artist.

ITALIANS HELD AS
 TRAIN WRECkERS
Officers Charge Four Men With De.
 railing Train for Revenge.

Middletown, Conn.,, Sept. 13.-On Italians are under arrest here today, charged with Wrecking an express train on the New Haven railroad, near here, on the night of Aug. 21, causing the death of one passenger and serious injury to sixty others
 According to railroad detectives the four men hired row boat in Portland on the Saturday night preceding the wreck and rowed down to the place selected, where they hid crowbars and Wrenches for use the next night.
 On the night of the wreck the four men again hired the same boat and rowed to the scene, where they re- moved the spikes from the inside of one of the rails and proped up one end of the rail so that the wheels of the engine would strike it and derail the train.
 As motive for the crime, the de IecllVeS alleSe Chat GlScOme llSl, who was formerly employed by the road as track walker, had been diseharg- i ed and that he looked for revenge and chance to loot the passengers.
 Antonio Diorey is said to have de- sired revenge for fancied grievance That there was no attempt made 10 rob the passengers the detectives of the cars went down the embank- ment, and that there were too many uninjured passengers around after the accident.
