Wm. A. Fiiatek, County TreaEurer, OLD BULLS IN NEW YORK. Inn Meti'l .Vcuengcrs WIioko Tiiiim Hare Sounded In Many Generations. Whether it bo dno to patriotic or pootio instincts it is nevertheless trno that a famous old boll always arouaos n reminiscent feeling. Ita very presence snggestrt a story tho glad cry of liber ty, tiio joyous peals of wedding festivi ties, tho somber touo of funeral proces sions. Weather stained and hoary, nn old bell seems liko n racssonger of fata Henco it is not to bo wondered at that tho bell in tho yard of tho Collegiate church, at Fifth avenue and Twenty -iiinth street, daily attracts a throng of inquiring faces, closely pressed against tho high iron railing surrounding tho rhurch. From tho qnaiut Latin inscription on (ho bull one learns that it was sent in 170.) by tho peoplo of Amsterdam as a gift offering to tho North church in Now ork, thon at 1 niton and William treat., where it had been erected in 1G29. Haugiug high abovo tho city, at Forty-eighth street and Fifth avenue, is another link that binds us to tho past This great bell bears this Dntcb inscrip tion: Eeu loegat nan do Neederdontscho Kirke, Nicw York, 1731." It appears from tho old will of Colo- nol Abraham do Peystcr that ho ordered bell to bo mado in Holland for tho Middle church, then occupying tho Eito of tho old fort at the Battery. Tho peo plo of Holland woro so pleased at being thus remembered by ono of their num ber in America that a great number of coins wero thrown into tho smelting pot which contained- tho metal for tho bell ns an evidence of their apprecia tion. During tho Revolution the Middle church was put to straugu uses. Re moving tho pulpit, gallery, pows and flooring, tho British dragoons converted it into n riding academy. John Oothont was granted permission from Commander in Chief Lord Howe to remove tho DePeyster bell to a place of safety. Accordingly, in tho most un obtrnsivo manner possible, tho boll was sent to Chambersburg, Pa. When peace was restored, tho bell was hung in tho steeplo of the Middle chnrcb, afterward leat-d to the federal government for postofflco purposes, and which many remember as tho old Post office building. A littlo more journey ing and tho Do Poyster bell reached its present haven. Tho Collegiate coai-istory carefully preserve the relics ol their several churches. A pewter plato bearing tho date 17C9 and giving a history of tho old North church is stowed away with a charter gmnted in 1C98 by William III empowering them to incorporate themselves in New York. Here, tco, zealously guarded tho old will of John Harpending, now yellow with age, bequeathing, in 1723, much of his land to tho Collegiate corporation. New York Herald. HIS SMILE WENT WITH THE POSE. The Model In the Life Class Smiled Sim ply For the Sake of Art. An amusing incident occurred not long ago in a well known New Vork art school. The girl students wero draw ing from lifo n study of the "Dancing Faun. A good looking Italian boy was tho model, and as ho assumed tne requtsito pose his face became wreathed in smiles. Ho was gazing directly at the class, and each girl imagined the smilo was directed at her. "How very embarrassing," said a Long Island girl. "I wish to goodness ho wouldn't grin at nie. Iu spite of tho indignant glances cast at hiui tho son of Italy continued to smilo at tho blushing girls. Presently a stolid German girl looked up aud noticed the smile, which she imagined was aimed directly at her. "Youschtopdctschmiliug. We don t want you to schmile at u." Tho boy's uro instantly straightened up, aud ho stood beforo tho class the very 1m personation of offended diguity as he said: "Ladies, I r.o smilo at any one. I poso to you as zo 'Daucing Faun.' Zo smilo goeswiz zo poso." Xow York World. The Courtship of Miles Standl-.li. Encouraged by the hearty welcome given to tneso two American poems, Longfellow, in 1S5S, published a third. "Tho Courtship of Miles Staudish." Iu this ho told uo p.ithetio talo of part ed lovers, nor did ho draw on tho quaint loro of tho red men. Ho took his story from tho annals of his own aucciton?, tho bturdy founders of Now England. s it happened, ho himself (liko his fel low poet, Bryant) was a direct descend ant of John Alden aud Priscilla, the Puritan maiden, whoso wooing ha nar rated. "Thtj-CourUhip of Miles Stan dish" is only loss popular than its pred ecessors, "Evangeliuo" and "Hiawa tha." All three have been taken to heart by tho American people, nil wero composed during tho brightest years of tho poet's life, when his family were growing up about him, when ho was in tho full possession of his powers nnd had already achieved fame. Profossor Brander Matthews in St. Nicholas. Lablache's Voice. Lablachu had tho most magnificent bassvoico ever known to tho lyric stage. It had a compass of two octaves from E tlat below to E flat abovo tho bass staff. Ho was a man of prodigious size and strength, and his voico was proportioned to his physical dimensions. Nothing was ablo to overcome or drown it, and through tho tones of tho largest chorus it boomed out as lustily as though alone. Moro than ouco hobroko it window pauo by tho strength of tho vibrations caused by his niou.strous voice. Tho Correct Term. "Do you know the count actually ad dresses her in publio as his treasure?"

A telegram waa received this morning in the United Siatf a district attorney's office from Postmaster S. Ii. Green, of Oregon City, utating that the office had been entered laet night by burglars, the eafe had been robbed and in the neigh borhood of $2000 in mooey, registered letters and stamps taken. District Attorney Mnruby at once 1 started for the scene and this afternoon j telephoned to Assistant Attorney Schnabel the following particulars: "The burglars are not only experts at their business, but are evidently mem bers of a well-organized gang who have recently arrived in Oregon from Cali fornia. The work of the men on the Oregon City safe ia identical with that of the burglars who oa Wednesday night last blew open the safe of the Hubbard poetoflice. After that job they have come to Oregon City, and are no doubt now in Portland. "Tho postoffice in Oregon City occu pies the rear of a lanre store on the main street, the front of the room being taken up with a stationery and cigar store. The burglars effected an entrance by pri ing opon a rear door with a 'Ummy.' "They must have first gone to the cigar stand, which was mulcted of its choicest cigars and a few cents in change left in the money-drawer. The men then attacked the safe of Postmaster Green, successfully opening it and tak ing every possible thing of value the safe contained, even to the private papers ol Mr. Green, which could be cf no value to them, acd the pennies in the etamp drawer. "With cash, registered letteis, stamps, etc., the robbers must have get away with at least $-J0u0. "Secret Service Inspector Gordon, who lias been to Hubbard investigating the burglary there, waa intercepted while returning on the Salem train this after noon aud is now in Oregon City. "Thus far noclew to the perpetrators of the burg'ary here, beyond that it ia evidedtly the work of the same men who robbed the Hubbard office, has been ob tained." COLUMBIA CALENDAR FOR 1897. The twelith anneal issue of the 1 Columbia Pa.i Calendar has made its ap pearance iu more pleasing form than ever before, liavmg scattered through its daily leavea many charming illustra tions, with an appropriate thought cr verse for each day in the year. Among the topics are bicvciing, outdoor lift, and co-jd roa N. Thf cycii i fr.iti-rnity, to say nothing of the general public, ha acquired a decidedly friendly feeling fi r the Columbia Calender, Janii its annual advent is always looked forward to with interest ai.d pleasure. The 1S97 calendar contains a uniqne arrangement of dates that will prove very helpful and convenient to busy men, and plenty of space is allowed for memoranda, so that the block may be used as a diary, or in atiy event will be come a storehouse of the many little things and desires to be reminded of day by day. The twelfth edition is bright with con tributions from frieida and tiders of the Columbia bicycle, for such a host of friends has the calendar acquired that it has become a customary practice for ! wheelmen all over the country to jot down their best thoughts and inspira tions after the exhilarating influence of a Columbia ride and send them in to brighten the calendar's pages. In addi tion, the moon's phases are indicated for the benefit of those who wish to know the best time for night riding. One feature of tbn calendar is its neat stand, so arrarged that the block can either bo used upon the desk or hung upon the wall. The calendar cau be obtained for live-two-cent stamps by addressing tho Cal endar Department of the Pope Manu facturing Company at Hartford, Conn. The Philippines Continues to Spread. Nkw York, Dec.

Tho chief interest is in Cs' vite, which the fcpamsh will shortly at tack iu force. General Polievaja prob ably will direct the troops in person.

The British cruiser Spartan left Hong Kong today to reinforce the Daphne, Pigmy and Pique at Manila. No Duty on Silver. Washington, Dec. 16. Members of the honse ways and mean? committee pay the report outlining an elaborate scheme (ora tariff on silver in the new bill ia merjIy fiction. No 6Ucb propc8;tioQ haa been considered, although it is generally understood that there will be a duty on all ores of which eil?er is a by-product. A member of the committee said to day. "A doty on silver would be as useless as a duty on rainwater for the reason that no silver ia imported into this coun try. The only thing we can do for the silver miners will be to put a duty on Mexican lead ore of which silver ia a by product. By doing this we can give protection to the lead interests and in cidentally to the silver miners." ROSEBURQ'S OPPORTUNITY To Secure the Encyclopedic Dictionary.
