And the rain poured down from one

And the moon was at it's edge.
The thick black cloud was cleft and

Like waters shot from some high

almost crudely:

should not be taken to cast any refiec-
tion on the character of DR.. Silver.
II know him TO be a fine man. he
said. He is legally divorced, but this
action was forced on the convention,
although it places DR.. Silver in cruel
position
After the resolution was adopted
Dean Brookman, Of the Albany Cathc-
dral, moved that IT be reconside! ed,
saying that as there was nothing
against DR.. Silver's character his name
should not be specifically mentioned.
The Rev. DR.. James Card, OF Troy,
a member of the standing committee,
attempted TO read a letter explaining
the action of the committee, hut was
prevented by many Of the clergymen
present, who objected to having the in
formation disclosed in public. A mo-
tion to amend the Birdsall resolution
so as not to mention the name Of DR..
Silver specifically finally was adopted,
although Bishop Doane thought that
no change should have been made.

RARE GIFT BY MORGAN
Autographs of All "signers'
- Presented to Nation.

Washington, Nov. 20.-A rare volume
containing autographs of all the sign
ers of the Declaration of Independence
was presented to-day, through Presi-
dent Taft, to the Congressional Library
by J. Pierpont Morgan. The gift was
brought to the White House and sub
mitted to President Taft by Herbert
Putnam, Librarian of Congress, with
the letter from Mr.. Morgan.
This set of original manuscripts is
one Of the few complete collections Of
such autographs. Most Of them are
letters written throughout by the sign
ers. The volume is sumptuously bound.
In his letter TO the President offering
the gift Mr.. Morgan said:
During the recent visit Of Herbert Put
nam. the Librarian of Congress, to my
library / learned with chagrin and regret
that our national library does not possess
a complete set Of letters or documents oil
the slgners to the Declaration of lnde-
pendence.
AS a citizen who appreciates the value
and significance of such collection,
herewith present to the United states OF
America, TO be deposited I'm the Library
of Congress and administered therein by
the authorities thereof, complete bound
set of letters and documents OF the sign
ers to the Declaration Of Independence,
which II seems to me, Is more fttingly
preserved in the national library than in
that Of any individual.
