throughout the land, unto all the inhab-
itants thereof"
The reason the signing Of the Declara-
ton did not excite the people to the ez-
tent that is to be inferred IN the poem
was on account Of the great secrecy that
was maintained regarding what was 60
ing on in Independence Hall. The pro-
ceedings were behind closed doors. Few
speeches were made, and none have been
reported. As one OF the delegates after
ward said: "It was an occasion for
thought rather than utterance, and far
too solemn and weighty for oratorlcal
display
In referring to the celebration m Phila-
delphia on July 8, John Adams wrote:
The bells rang all day and almost all
night, and even the chimes chimed
away" alluding to the chimes Of Christ
Church, the congregation Of which were
suspected OF lukewarmness to the ReVo-
lutionary cause, even when they were
not accused Of open devotion to Toryism.
In the Autobiography Of Charles Bid
de he says: "On the memorable
9Th Of July, 1776, was In the old state
house yard when the Declaration Of In
dependence was read. There were very
few respectable people present Gen.
spoke against it, and many OF the citI-
zens who were good Wings were much
opposed to it; however, they were soon
reconciled to it,
Mr.. Bfddle confounds July 4. the day
Of the Declaration, with July 8, the actual
day Of the reading. His statement that
very few respectable people were
present is presumed to refer to people
Of wealth, family, and position. In this
particular Mr.. Biddle agrees with Mrs.
Deborah Logan. who also heard the read
ing, and who says: The first audience
OF the Declaration was neither very nu-
merous nor composed OF the most re-
spectacle class OF citizens"
Few relics, in the history OF nations,
have ever evoked such outbursts Of gen.
uine affection and emotion as the Lib
erty Bell, and few relics have ever en-
bodied within themselves such glorious
history. Few are so precious.
Charles Brockden Brown, who IL re-
puted tc be the author Of this poem, is
usually styled the founder Of the novel
in America" Before him no writer OF
that character Of literature had done so
pie read so eagerly and appreciatively.
Brown came Of an old Chester County
Quaker family, respectable. not eminent,
having been born in Philadelphia on
January II. III He suffered from i'll
health from childhood. His one consela-
ton was found in the books which for
him, he said, had great efficacy IN be-
griling the body Of its pains and thoughts
Of their melancholy, In relieving head
and heart Of their aches"
He died on February q. 1910, at his
home in Eleventh street. near Chestnut,
when only thirty-nine years OF age, be-
ing inferred in an unmarked spot In the
Friends burial ground at Fourth and
Arch streets.
Chief among his novels were will
land" "Ormund," Arthur Meryyn..
Jane Talbot" Edgar Huntley." and
Clara Howard" He edited several
magazines, and wrote much that was
good on q variety OF subjects.

BUFFALO WOMAN
OAR. CANDIDATE
Mrs. ]. NJ. Horton Indorsed
by Her Chapter.

A card has been received by Washing
ton chapter regents Of the d. "A. r. from
a committee Of Buffalo Chapter, d. A
R., formally announcing the candidacy
Of Mrs. John Miller Horton, regent Of
Buffalo chapter. for president general in
1913. This means that Mrs. Horton. who
was announced as a candidate for the
president generalship In 1913 by the Scott
party on the last day Of the recent con-
gress. and repudiated by them the same
night, has now come out as an ''inde-
pendent candidate"
This news is interesting to Washing
ton Daughters, as it is understood that
for years Mrs. Horton has been con-
sidering the idea of running for the
presidency, and her friends have always
kept her In view as q prospective can
didate. It was these alleged pTNs Nsntial
aspirations that brought about the
trouble between Mrs. Donald McLsAas Of
New York, and Mrs. Horton, ever sfAse
which Mrs. Mclean and Mrs. Horton
have been at enmity, as Mrs. Horton
opposed Mrs. Mclean when she ran for
ONCE. Mrs. Horton, in the anti-McLean
party, felt that she had a fine chance
to become president general. and kept
this idea IN sight Wealthy. talented,
and cultured, Mrs Horton was encour-
aged IN this view by number Of friends
and at the last election she remained
neutral, until 1t is said that the Scott
managers went to her the Tuesday be-
fore the election and promised her what
she wanted for the twenty votes she
controlled. Mrs. Horton justly soon
made them know that support in 1913
was only right, so this was agreed upon
and the Buffalo woman Joined the Scott
ranks.
Her candidacy for president general in
1913 as a Scott candidate was announced
by the Scott managers to the press.
Rumor says that as soon as Mrs. Mclean
learned that her ancient foe had been
succored by the Scott party she made
war In the Scott camp and representa-
tives of Mrs: Scott at once denied that
Mrs. Scott had indorsed or was pushing
Mrs. Horton as a candidate for 1913. or
that she was an administration candi-
date"
But Mrs. Horton had been so cheered
by the delegates who had rallied under
her banner that. although now candi-
date, supported by neither party, the
storyites or the administration, she re-
turned to Buffalo, where she was en-
Enthusiastically Endorsed by her chapter
and determined to stay in the race. Buff
falo chapter, through a committee, has
now sent out a circular letter to chap
ters and Daughters throughout the coun-
try. asking for support for Mrs. Horton
in her race.
Meantime, administration candidates
are numerous. Besides Mrs. Donald Nc
Lean, whose candidacy is not doubted by
the knowing, Mrs. La Verne Noyes, of
Chicago, vice president general from Illi-
nois. is a prominent candidate. The
much talked-of Southern candidate is
Mrs ]. Morgan Smith, Of Alabama,
while Mrs. Egbert Jones, of Mississippi,
is another Southern aspirant.
The Washington herald., 1911-07-02

On Tuesday at noon the bell in the
tower of Independence Hall (Philadel-
phia) will ring 135 strokes, indicating
that 1S5 years have elapsed since we
gained our independence and became q
free people. It is not the same bell
which voiced our freedom considerably
over a century and quarter ago. That
old relic has been silent since Washing
tons Birthday in 1913. 1t was cracked
upon the morning of July s. 1895, whilst
being tolled in memory Of Chief Justice
Marshall. 1t was frequently used there
after, but its voice has not given utter
ance since 1s43 and II now stands mute
under a glass case for its preservation
in Independence Hall, where admirins
thousands pay reverent respect by a visit
each week.
There is no relic in the United States
which possesses the peculiar interest that
attaches itself to the Liberty Bell. And
years will increase rather than diminish
this respect. The poems written upon
and around the bell, II collected, would
fill several volumes. If not the most dig
nified, one of the most often read Of
these poems is the one printed above,
and attributed TO Mr.. Charles Brockden
Brown, Of Philadelphia. 1t appeals par
tictlarly to the young patriot, by the
episode IL presents. The author has taken
much poetic license in the presenting OF
his subject, for interesting as II may be,
the way he has pictured the boy, the
grandpa, and the waiting populace there
is little or no historical truth to warrant
the story.
Avery, in his recent extensive History
of the United States" says: 1T is a
popular error that there was any consid-
erable immediate repoicing or frantic
outburst of enthusiasm in Philadelphia
over the adoption of the Declaration. As
a matter of history. there was no marked
demonstration until noon. the sth Of July,
when, in the state house yard, the Dec
laration was read to an assemblsge COM
posed of members of the Continental and
Provincial Congresses, militia, and citi-
zens. Not until then was the 'so-called
Liberty Bell rung, and by that time
bells were being rung in dozens Of other
towns and villages"
There is,'' says Friedenwald, no
shadow Of authority for associating the
ringing OF the bell with the announce
ment OF the agreement upon independ-
ence."
Although our resolution for independ-
ence was adopted on July T. the public
did not know OF its exact contents or its
purport until it was publicly read 20
them on July by John Nixon, a MEM
ber Of the Council of Safety, from the
observatory which had been erected in
the state house yard TO observe the
transit Of Venus in 1863.
Thompson Westcott notes: THE Kings
arms were taken down from the court
room in the state house and burned by
the people. The Declaration was also
read on the commons to the first bat
talon OF city associations. Bells were
rung and bonfires lighted, and upon this
occasion there can be little doubt that
the old. state house bell Joined in the
clamor and fulfilled the command in
scribed upon 1t, when 1t was cast twenty
four years before: Proclaim liberty

PLAN LONG SWIM
In POTOMAC RIVER
Nautilus Club, Of Y. NJ. Z. A.,
in Charge of Event.

Sanction has been granted by the ANA
teur Athletic Union to the Nautilus
Swimming Club, Of the Washington Y.
NJ. c. A, for a long-distance swimming
race, to be held on Saturday afternoon,
July q, over a course on the Potomac
River. from the Chain Bridge to the
Aqueduct Bridge. The course is approxi-
mately three and one-haf miles. Hand
some and valuable medals are offered as
prizes for the winners, as well as to all
those who negotiate the distance within
q specified time. The event is open only
to residents OF the District of Columbia
and is for the District championship.
The race will be the first of it's kind
held on the Potomac River, and should
attract great attention and a well filled
entry list
The affair is being promoted by the
Nautilus Swimming Club, of the local Y.
NJ. c. A, an organization which in the
short space of one year has attained con-
siderable prominence and success in COM
petitive swimming, and which is the rec
ognized champion OF the South Atlantic
Association of the Amateur Athletic
Union.
The rules OF the race provide that only
men more than eighteen years OF age
be allowed to compete. in order to pre-
vent possible injury to younger contest
ants. who might let their enth siasm
overtax their strength. Provision has
been made by the swimming club to have
a canoe carrying a number follow each
contestant at distance of thirty feet, in
order to render assistance If necessary.
BY this means the spectators will be able
to know the relative positions OF each
swimmer at q glance.
