The wedding guests were long de-

beheld his bride of a few hours re-

tended his clasped hands toward the

Tears of joy welled .unheeded from
his eyes as he gave thanks.

This Is a hat with considerable dura-
bility to recommend it, as well as
good looks.
Flowers, so much in evidence on
the dressier hats Of the season, are
not used on outing or travelling hats
But fruits, less fragile, are a part OF
the play, with cherries as the star.
Fringed ribbons, that IL, ribbons
raveled out into fringed! ends, or
spaces, are pleasing on hats that de-
pend on ribbon alone for decoration.
But there are not many \of these.
Too many good ornaments made ready
to use, too many good substantial
fancy feathers, save the / time of
trimmers.
The trimming Of hats of this kind
is distinctly within the scope of the
home milliner. A shape originally be-
coming and simply trimmed(is sure to
turn out satisfactorily. Among ones
belongings good millinery materials,
left over from other reasons, If of the
right character, save money and an
swer the purpose for travelling hats.

become the objects Of vengeance by
the British, and also that the reduced
number Of the American army made 1t
impossible to hope for protection from
that quarter. Thirty miles from his
home, in Monmouth county, he left
his family in safety. Refusing to I'M

ence, he went to reside with q Mr..
Covenhoven, a friend and patriot. But
fate was against him as, through the
treachery Of some one, a party Of Brit
ish refugees was informed Of his tenn
porary residence. -r
Surrounding the house at night
both Stockton and Covenhoven were
surprised and captured by this party.
Dragged from their beds, stripped and
plundered Of their possessions, they
were started to New York. Stockton,
however, was first taken to Amboy
and there thrown into the common
goal" There, destitute and exposed,
he was allowed to suffer from the ex-
IRENE cold and want Of sufficient pro-
lection. Later, when taken to New
York he was again placed In a common
Jail and subjected to similar treatment.
So great were his sufferings that he
contracted the disease which resulted
in his death not long afterward.
Not only the comforts, but the bare
necessities of life were refused Stock
ton during his Imprisonment in New
York. At n time he was left with
absolutely no food for more than "a
hours, and then given some which was
so coarse in quality, not to mention
scanty in amount, that he would have
been better off without it. .
Fortunately, however, word Of his
treatment reached congress. A mes
sage was Immediately sent General
Howe, stating that he would either
have to treat Stockton more humanely
or expect retaliation.
Such i'll treatment as Stockton en-
dured in prison did not make up the
whole of his sufferings at the hands
Of the British. While he was thus
confined his property was plundered,
his personal papers burned, and his
fine library destroyed, as were also his
horses and cattle.
When peace finally prevailed, Stock
ton returned home to find all in ruins,
his property destroyed, his finances
wiped out. So great was his poverty
that he was forced to call upon friends
to secure the necessaries Of life for
| himself and family. This state Of az
fairs so depressed him him that his
already delicate condition was further
aggravated, and in February, 1871, he
died when but ffty-one years Of age.

CO.,

British lay in the vicinity OF Charles
ton, and it was in that city that the
sessions were held. On one occasion
Hayward presided at the trial Of some
persons charged with treason. They
were convicted Of having held CORE
s%pondence with the enemy and exc
cuted in full view of the British lines.
This act, especially, led to Hey
wards great disfavor in the eyes Of
the British. At the same time he was a
judge he held q military commission
and was In active service. Command
ing a battalion Of artillery, Hayward
and Rutledge were together during the
defense Of Charleston. In n en-
counter Hayward received q gunshot
wound, the scar of which he carried
the remainder Of his life.
Although in that engagement victory
was with the Americans, Charleston
was destined to fall. Then Hayward,
like his two compatriots, was taken
prisoner and sent to st. Augustine,
where he remained a year. During his
Imprisonment his plantation was raid
ed and his slaves sent to Jamaica
Some were afterward reclaimed.
Although not intentional on the part
Of the British, the trip from st. Angus
tine to Philadelphia came ear being
the means of Heyward's death. While
on the boat he in some way lost his
balance and fell overheard. Straight
way vigorous efforts were made for his
recovery, but the time consumed was
so great that it was only by ~clinging
to the ships rudder that he was saved
from drowning. Upon returning home
he was still further afflicted, this time
by the loss of his wife. So depressed
was he by all his misfortunes that it
was a considerable time before he re-
gained his normal condition and was
able to fully discharge his public du-
ties.
Although never captured, John
Hart of New Jersey was nevertheless
made to feel the hatred England bore
toward all the signers Of the Decla-
ration. Honest John Hart" as he
was called, was another one of the
men who at the time they Endorsed
the separation OF the colonies from
England had nothing material to gain
and much to lose. His farm, in Hun
terdon county, was large, and his
home was c~onsiderated as a seat Of
hospitality" but SO situated that, in
the event Of hostillties, it would be
open to the ravages Of the enemy.
This MI. Hart realized when he took
his stand, and later even more fully
appreciated. When New Jersey was
invaded by the English he was n Of
the men particularly sought His
family, by a timely and distant re-
treat from their home, were saved
personal violence, but he vas forced
to seek hiding. From n house to
another he went, not daring to stay
more than a single night under the
same roof. While thus trying to keep
beyond the clutches Of the British his
farm was destroyed, and his stock,
which was numerous and valuable,
became the enemy's spoil. The per-
sonal safety Of himself and family was
assured only by General Washington's
successful march upon Trenton, the
| capture of the ,Hessians posted there
and the enforced retreat Of the foe.

When Liberty Bell Last Rang.

Seventy-one years ago, February %,
the Liberty bell was rung for the last
time. This is contrary to the popular
belief.
The usual theory put forth is that
the old bell was cracked in 1885 and
ceased to be rung after that time.
Part of this notion is correct and part
Ia wrong.

TEMPE
FINE RANGE CATTLE
 HAPPENING IN TEMPE
Shipment of Fourteen Carloads Arrives
 From Northern Arizona.

Four hundred and siXty-four head of some of the prettiest three and four year-old beef cattle ever brought to the valley, were unloaded in Tempe last evening by John Anderson, to be fat tened for the winter market. The stock is d pick made from the ranges surrounding Flagstaff and represents just what Anderson believes to be the best beef there is to be found. Ranges owned by Joe Kelum. Fryer and Col cord. were secured by Anderson and from the many thousands of cattle roaming that mountain country he picked fourteen carload which will go on pasture here for winter fattening.
 Every animal in the shipment ranges between the three and four-year old limits. the average weight goes at l00i pounds. a fact in itself that well establishes the exceptional value of this bunch.
 Anderson has placed the stock on pasture at his ranch south of Tempe and west of Chandler, where they will be fattened for the next few months. Good prices are expected for beef this winter and Anderson is in his element with the bunch of stock he has and the prices anticipated.
 Yesterdays shipment is not without company, however. During the past week, fully as many cattle, also from Flagstaff ranges, have been brought into the Tempe country by Niels Peter sen Mir. Petersen is also figuring on

 ROBBED OF HER JEWELS
Daughter of General Sampson of This
 City Suffers Severe Loss

l The many friends of Mrs. A. w. 1 Chamberlain, daughter of General A. 1 T. Sampson of Phoenix, will regret
 to learn of the loss of her jewels in i San Diego recently. The following

 One of the boldest daylight rob- | berries here in months became known | today when it developed that robbers; broke into the room of Mrs. A. w. | Chamberlain in the Florence hotel
 shortly after noon yesterday and got away with more than $1,000 in
 money, valuables and jewelry. Diamonds, rubies, emeralds and i pearls, set in rings, brooches and pins were taken, as well as $50. 1 Mrs. Chamberlain says that she | left her room on the second floor of the Florence about 1230 yester- 1 day afternoon. She returned a few minutes later to get a magazine, she says. and found everything in good | order.
 When Mrs. Chamberlain returned an hour later she found the door of
 her room had been opened with g key. The contents of a large trunk
 and of bureau drawers were thrown about the room.
 Tn addition to the jewelry and money, Mrs. Chamberlain reported that a note on which payments were being made to her also disappeared in the confusion. Whether it was taken by the robbers or has been merely lost in the disOrdered room, Mrs. Chamberlain was not sure to- day.
 The police were notified as soon as the robbery was discovered. Ac- cording to guests at the Florence, one policeman arrived quite a while
 after the call was sent in. After looking around the room, the police
