HORSE-
How tUc Declaration ot Irulepeuu
ence Watt Saved by a Vote In tlxrt
ScbhIoii of the Provisional CongrcBH
In Philadelphia
It happened on that famous Fourth
of July 1770 the day on which the
American colonies were declared free
and Independent states If Caesar Rod
ney had not made his historic ride there
might not have been any free America
today
The provisional congress was in ses
sion at Philadelphia each of the thir
teen colonies having representatives
there It was a great congress and a
momentous question was before the
distinguished body The great charter
of our freedom had been written by
Jefferson and Benjamin Harrison fa
ther and great grandfather of presi
dents had presented It to congress on
Monday July 1 What would the Con
tinental congress do
In order that our country should be
free and independent the declaration
must be adopted This could be done if
only the colonies were divided and
there were some good men who did not
believe it best to take this step at this
time Four of the seven delegates of
Peunslyvanla were opposed to it and
of the two Delaware delegates present
Thomas McKean was in favor of inde
pendence but George Read was op
posed to the measure Caesar Rodney
the other member was in the southern
part of his state In the capacity of a
brigadier general organizing and drill
ing troops for the coming struggle
Two of the opposing Pennsylvania
delegates were persuaded to absent
themselves and thus the Keystone
State would favor the declaration but
the vote of Caesar Rodney was neces
sary to carry the state of Delaware
A messenger was dispatched in hot
haste to summon him to Philadelphia
and then for four days the patriots
of 70 talked and maneuvered to de
lay the final vote On Thursday July
4 congress was to vote on the mo
mentous question
On the afternoon of the 3d the
messenger found Caesar Rodney in
Sussex county more than eighty miles
from Philadelphia General Rodney
was at that time forty six years old
with a tall lean worn figure his face
scarred by a cancer that was finally
to cause his death The brave patriot
did not hesitate Saddle the black
he commanded and in ten minutes he
had mounted his faithful steed and
was galloping as if for life to the
northward
Eighty miles away from congress
which was waiting for him to declare
the Independence of the colonies The
thought caused him to drive his spurs
deep into his horses flanks and sent
him flying along the long dusty high
way that stretched away toward the
Quaker City It was one of the great
rides of history That black steed
bore the destinies of America and his
rider knew it and there was neither
halt nor delay
The sun went down and the stars
came out one by one in the blue vault
of heaven and that solitary rider rush
ed on his way All through the cool
summer night Caesar Rodney kept up
his reckless pace
The stars faded out of the morning
sky and the sun came up red and fiery
And still
Caesar Rodney kept on his way He
was yet many miles from Philadelphia
His horse was jaded and he was travel
worn and covered with dust but the
patriot did not slacken his rein He
must be there to vote for the Independ
ence of America And he was there
All that hot sweltering July day the
delegates of the colonial congress were
talking and voting in Independence
hall The session had begun The pres
ident John Hancock was in the chair
and the clerk John Dickinson was
calling the colonies one by one Vir
ginia had voted and Massachusetts and
the great state of New York and the
little state of Rhode Island and now
New Jersey was voting and Caesar
Rodney had not come
Anxious and worried Thomas Mc
Kean went out to the door of Inde
pendence hall Would his friend and
compatriot be too late His face
brightened as he heard the sound of
hurrymg hoof beats coming up Chest
nut street A foaming panting steed
dashed into the yard Its dusty rider
leaped to the ground Booted and spur
red and the dust of his long ride thick
on his long- flapped coat and iron gray
hair Caesar Rodney entered the hall of
congress leaning on his friend Mc
Keans arm
He was just in time The vote of
Delaware was being called George
Read voted Nay Aye called the
clear voice of Thomas McKean It was
a tie All eyes turned to Caesar Rod
ney The famous rider cleared his
throat and many a patriot heart beat
with pride as he declared in firm tone
The voice of my constituents and of
all sensible and honest men I believe
Is in favor of independence and my
own judgment concurs with them
therefore I vote for the Declaration
And so Caesar Rodney by his famous
ride and by his noble vote helped to
Bettla tho question of Independence and
Insured the future celebrations of the
Fonrfcj of July

CHINESE ART IN STONE
ICa Bent KxumplcM mid Some of It
Greatent Delect
The spirit of purely Chinese art In
stone is shown in work such as the
great monolith figures of animals and
warriors which Hank the approach to
the tombs of the Ming dynasty and in
the perfectly plain structures designed
for the tombs of the present dynasty
These are composed of enormous
blocks of stone brought with Infinite
labor from distant quarries over roads
and bridges which are hardly capable
of sustaining ordinary cart traffic and
have always to be specially prepared
to prevent the great weights causing
their collapse
The same admiration for the employ
ment of huge blocks of stone is seen
in the case of the bridges over the riv
ers along the coast of South Fukien
where the stone slabs used In 1 e con
struction occasionally measure sixty
feet in length and are estimated to
weigh nearly 120 tons and the bridges
themselves have a length of 1000 to
2000 yards
In almost all cases where the build
ings are not of solid construction tho
weight of the blocks employed has
placed a strain upon the supports which
the architects skill was not competent
to provide against and with the lapse
of time the melancholy spectacle is
seen of slabs fallen from their places
and of noble and costlj structures
approaching ruin In some cases the
interdependence of the arches leads to
tho same result One notable instance
of this occurred during Colonel Gor
dons campaign against the Taipings
when to allow of the passage of his
small steamers it was necessary to
make a gap in a bridge of over twenty
arches and arch after arch collapsed
immediately after the passage of his
small fiotilla London Saturday Re

PUBLIC LIBRARY NOTES
In the summer of 1902 Miss
Rachel Berry a former high school
principal and C H Meeker con
ceived the idea of a public library
The business men and railroad
employees were visited and in a
few days 100000 were raised
50000 payable on demand and
50000 payable in monthly in
stallments for six months Many
citizens agreed to contribute books
from their own collections and
Judge LeHew loaned to the libra
ry ico volumes with a case to
hold them
A list of books was prepared
and sent for A room was ob
tained free of cost from the
county commissioners in the court
house the room is heated without
cost to us
The City Council seeing that
the library was an assured fact
appointed a board of directors
nine in number consisting of A
Campbell C H Meeker Den
nis Cullen John Bingham GH
Thomas Mrs W S Morlan
Mrs George Willetts Miss Rachel
Berry and Mrs S Cordeal
The council agreed to levy the
two mill tax allowed by law for
the support of the library
Our first librarian was
Millie Elbert succeeded a
Miss
year
ago by Miss Ida McCarl
The library was formally open
ed to the public on Sept 10
1902 and presented to the city

now we have 2493 books beside
701 congressional books and 250
bound magazines We take
