Order) our next suit here RICH ;t Tailor I The First Celebration t Of Independence Day i T is 130 years since the Continen tal congress adopted tbe Declara tion of Independence, which pro claimed these United States free and Independent, and for the one hun tred and thirty-seventh time the peo ple are "celebrating." Tbe celebration has not changed much since the "doin's" that took place when the people of the "old thirteen" first heard of the Declara tion aud proceeded to make a noise like unto liberty. Philadelphia was frie first to receive the news, though not the first to start the fireworks that continued throughout July until every colony had been notified. It was on July 8. 1770, that the Declaration was read to a large num- ON JtTLY 9 THB STATUE OF GEOBGE IIL III NEW IOHK WAS PUIi.LEI VVViH. hor of the inhabitants of Philadelphia aud "was received with general ap nlnu.se and heartfelt satisfaction." In the evening the coat of arms of the late king was brought from the hall In the statehouse and burnt. Th Declaration was received by Washington at his headquarters in Kp York on July 9. Immediately the brigades were formed in hollow squares on their respective parades and the Declaration was read to them. One of these brigades was encamped on the "commons," where the New York city hall now stands. The hol low square was formed about the spot where the park fountain stands. Wash ington was within the square on horse back, and the Declaration was read in a clear voice by one of his aids. When it was concluded three hearty cheers were given. The same evening the equestrian statue of George ill which had been set up in 1770. was pulled down and. being mostly com posed of lead, was subsequently made into bullets for the colonial army. At Boston on the ISth there was a big military display, and the cannon roared from Fort Hill. Dorchester Nivk. the Castle. Nantasket and Point Alderton. thirteen shots each, which were followed by the tiring of salutes of thirteen rounds by each of the thir teen divisions into which the military had been divided. The Declaration reached New Hamp shire on July 18. and there were a mili tary disnlay. rinsing of bells, tirinx or salutes and shouting at Portsmouth. The celebration at Savannah. Oa., was elaborate. When the council re ceived the Declaration on Aug. 10 it gathered tbe people into the square before the assembly house and read It to tliem. after which the military fired salutes. Then both the military and the civil authorities paraded to the Liberty pole, where they were met by the Geor gia battalion, whi h. after a second rending of the Declaration, discharged its fieldpieces and fired In platoons. After this it proceeded to the battery nt the trustees' gardens, where the Declaration was read for be third and last time and the cannon of the battery discharged. This was followed by a dinner under the cednr trees, at which the participants "cheerfully drank to the united, free and Independent states of America." THE GLORIOU3 FOURTH.

MMUMMf A "New" Woman and I An Old, Old Story A OltOTIIY was rather fond of asserting that she was a new woman. Like most who make that claim, she was much giv en . to rain repetition. She need not have been. Not even the sourest, sharpest tempered spinster of them all could have accused her of being an old woman. Jack could not understand Dorothy's sudden aggressive Independence. Ue did not see why any reasonable glri should prefer to wait on herself and soil her dainty lingers when there was a great, lazy fellow around who asked nothing better of fate than to be al lowed to wait on her all the days of bis life. Time was, and not so very long ago, either, when Dorothy had shown a most delightful readiness to accept his services. Of late, however, a change had come over the spirit of her dream. The dream now, and to Jack it seemed a nightmare, was of in dependence. That was in the end of May. Now it was July 1. Jack had written to Dorothy once or twice, had had one or two letters in reply, very unsatis factory letters, all of them full of "the cause." There seemed to be a whole colony of "new women" where Dor othy was spending the summer. They held meetings, made speeches, "read copy" to each other. Jack said, for Jack was a newspaper man a "jour nalist," Dorothy called It. Dorothy's letters to Jack had been unpleasantly suggestive of "copy" prepared for some paper devoted to the interests of the coming woman. The only one that had been at all satisfactory was the last, urging him to accept her mother's Invitation to come out and spend tbe Fourth with them. He found a very superior Dorothy, who considered the firing of crackers an infantile pastime, fit only for weak Intellects; who made sarcastic com ments about people who were "pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw;" who, when the children had him fast In their tolls, went off with an un pleasantly strong minded looking book under her arm, "anywhere cit of hear ing of all this detestable racket;" who, In the afternoon did not care to ven ture on the lake, for there was a storm coming up, and, moreover, she had a paper" to prepare; who, in tbe even ing, when he mildly suggested strolling over to watch the fireworks, advised him to "wait till woman achieves her Independence and then there will be some fireworks worth seeing" and who announced her intention in the mean while of celebrating Independence day by attending a meeting of new women in tbe loft of a neighbor's barn. Then she was called upon to rend the paper thnt she had prepared that after noon when she would so much rather have gone sailing with Jack. It was a commonplace little paper, but because she was In a bitter mood she read it with a bitterness that won her au dience. That was the right spirit, said the next speaker. Men should be made to consider well the voice of their com plaint. They should be no more able to close their ears to it than to the nightly reverberations of the thunder that now seemed to shake tbe very earth (the storm which had threatened all day had broken now). Little of this was heard. The terri ble voice of the storm without drowned the voice of the mere woman within. If it had been heard it is doubtful . ,, - '46" 1 r".v. 4; ' ', Vtad v DOROTHY WAS FOND OK ASSERTING THAT 8 HE WAS A NKW WUHAN. whether it would have been heeded, fur these new women were all very like the old women. They were terri bly frightened. Finally there came a Hash that seemed to burn into their very soul and shrivel thetn to cinders, followed by a clap that made them feel that the globe itself was splittiug a smell of smoke, of burning wood, and they knew that the barn was on fire. A iiid rush for the ladders and crooked stairs followed Fortunately. Dorothy's new womanhood did not desert her at a pinch. She kept enough of her uits about her to remember that she must not Join In the stain .She must keep perfectly still till Jack came for her. She knew it would be .la'-k who wou'd come for her. She had not long to wait, though ffterwaid she would have told you it was an eternity before she beard Jark's voice shouting: "Dorothy, Dor ntiiy: Where are you? Don't be alarmori. It's Jack. I'm rwnltss to you." Later on. wli-n she st-Kl with him watrl.!::g the village fire company put tins nut the flames, she realized that InnVpeii'lenre day wn over. But she D t ks. h . ' j 'M i:..t t.-Liet It. She had been too rlovp to death to clamor for liberty. ',Vuol...l0i"U i'ost. THE FOURTH OF " JULY IN HISTORY, THE fourth day of July hns had a significant place in the his tory of all ages and nntlous more so probably than any other date in the calendar. But the crowning achievement of this day of days was reserved for this hemisphere when on July 4, 1770, the trumpet blast proclaiming liberty and equality to all men was sent re-echoing throughout the world. On July 4, 1097, In the battla of Dorylaeum, In Phyrgia. the Moslems under Sollman were defeated by the crusaders. This battle ended the fight ing in Asia Minor. It was on July 4. 1215, that King John of England was compelled by his barons to sign the Magua Charta, the English prototype of our own Declara tion of Independence. The American continent, just north of Florida, in the year 15S4 was discovered on July 4 by Amidias and Barlow, English ex plorers and navigators, who sailed along the Atlantic coast under orders from Sir Walter Raleigh. Formal pos session was taken for the British queen, and the land was delivered over to the use of Sir Walter Raleigh. Sixty-nine years thereafter, on July 4, the Barebone's parliament assembled at Whitehall, and Cromwell delegated their chairs to them for fifteen years. At the instance of the lords the trade commissioners from the colo- fytut' THB DECLARATION OF AMERICAN INDH- PENDKNCK WAS BENT TO TttK COLONICS OH JVLX i, 1 476 nles of New Hampshire. Massachu setts, Rhode Island, Connecticut. New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland met at Albany on June ID, 1754. to arrange a treaty with the Six Nations. They also proceeded to consider a plan of colonial union proposed by Franklin and adopted in the same year on July 4.
