Old Philadelphia
By G. U. H.

A week in Washington. u. c., would
be Interesting at any time. II was
especially interesting this spring when
all the talk in Congress- was war talk.
From Washington l went over to
Philadelphia and spent a day visiting
the scenes of the first congress and
of the activities of the years of the
Revolutionary war. Philadelphia Is
rich In memories OF the past and there
is much of historical interest there TO
be seen. Last winter read two thous-
and pages of The Life and Times OF
George Washington and in them
found frequent mention of Philadel-

didn't merely 20 around and look at
the place but spent hours there. liv-
ing in the atmosphere of Continental
Congress days. I have never expert
enced quite such a thrill of patriotic
feryor as felt there.
In this old building the Continental
Congress met May 10. 1775. and CON
tinued TO meet here until the close OF
the Revolution. except during the
winter OF l777-7s when the British oc-
cupied Philadelphia. Here General
Washington accepted his appointment
as commander in chief of the Ameri-
can army. Here the Continental Con-
gress worked on the Declaration OF
| ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS days and days
as the present congress works slowly
over important matters of war. On
June Tth, 1776, Richard Henry Lee
moved that these United Colonies
are and of right ought to be. free and
independent states" This brought on
plenty of debate. The motion was
put over to July LIST. On June 10th a
committee was appointed to prepare
declaration. This committee con.
sisted OF Thos. Jefferson, Benz. Frank

r. r. Livingston. The Declaration
OF Independence was adopted unani.

BUCKEYE. SAFE
BLOWN DURING
FRIDAY NIGHT
Experts Believed to Have
Relieved Meat Market Of
Cash While Its Owners
Slept in Fancied Peace

While the people of Buckeye were en-
joying = piano recital Friday night
burglars were quietly busy inside the
Buckeye Meat Market and as 4 re-
suit, yesterday morning, when the mar
ket people came TO work. they found
the office safe demolished and its con-
tents gone The burglars got away
with some $50 in money and valuable
papers. They made a rather complete
Job Of safe blowing, the door Of the
safe being completely torn from the
safe. So far as can be learned the
burglars got nothing Of value but the
money and papers. overlooking the
rich field in the market refrigerator
This, probably. indica ties that the men
are professionals. who have learned by
bitter experience that possession of Il
Porterhouse steak would naturally
draw suspicion to them which the pos
session of mere money would never do.
The burglary was reported to the
sherlffs office and officials OF that de-
partment at once undertook an inves-
tigation. 1t is understood that some
detentions resulted from this investi-
cation but that. so far. there has been
no definite clew which would warrant
an arrest.
No one in or about Buckeye seems
to have heard the explosion when the
safe was blown open. This, in itself
indicates that the man or men who
did the job musts have been quite-ex
pert, for the damage done the safe is
sufficient to indicate that the explosion
was a very heavy one and unless the
explosive had been eXpertly handled the
noise could hardly have failed to attract
attention.
