"The Memory Lingers” —•ok) by Groe*i» ercrywbm HISTORIC EVENTS Of OTHER FOURTHS ) - '.V c L’RPRISING it is to discover how many important events in history have occurred on the Fourth of July. On the fourth day of July, 1754. Col. George Washing ton surrendered an army. It was only a small army, but a fort went with it- He experienced on this occasion his first defeat in war, at the hands of the t'rench. Although at that time only twenty two years of age, he had been placed in com mand of a small body of troops which was marching toward Fort Duquesne. At a point on the Monongahela river, less than forty miles from his destina tion, he heard of the ap proach of a party of French and Indians, sent to intercept him Accordingly, he fell back to the Great Meadows, fifty miles from Cumberland, and hastily erected a stock ade, which he called Fort Necessity. \\ ith the help of a friendly Indian sachem. Half King, he attacked the French in their camp at night, killing their commander, Ju monville, and taking a number of prisoners. It was the first blood shed in the French and Indian war. A few days later Fort Necessity was at tacked by 1,500 Indians and French under De Villiers. and Washing ton surrendered on cTarar c. msircwr honorable terms. This was on the morning of July 4. He marched out with his little army of 400 men. drums beating and flags flving. and he and his soldiers returned peaceably to their homes. On the fourth day of July, 1846, the independence of California was de clared. There was at that time in California —as yet of course a part of Mexico— about two hundred Americans, nearly all of them men of exceptional vigor of body and alertness of mind. Of Mexicans there were 6,000, and the aboriginal Indian population num bered perhaps 200,000. Capt. John C. Fremont had been sent to California on an exploring ex pedition a year earlier. He was on his way to Oregon when he was over taken by an officer sent from Wash ington with a message ordering him to wait and to co-operate witn the Pa cific snuadron in case of hostilities with Mexico. The message had been iu writing, but the officer was obliged to destroy it while crossing Mexican territory, after committing it to mem ory. Accordingly Fremont returned to California and took up his headquar ters at Sutter’s Fort. A few days later. June 14. a party of fourteen Americans organized a small revolution on their own ac count, captured Sonoma and declared war against Mexico Needing s. flag and not daring to use that of the Fnited States, they made one. not out of an old lady’s petticoat, as has sometimes been alleged, but from a Mexican rebosa or scarf of un bleached muslin a yard wide and five feet long. Along the bottom they sewed a strip of red flannel and in the left hand corner they painted a star in red ink. The middle of the flag was occupied by a picture of a grizzly bear, beneath which were the words "California Republic.” The temporary government thus set up is known in history as the Bear Flag Republic. Its banner now orna ments the rooms of the Pioneer so ciety in San Francisco. The grizzly bear was rather crudely drawn, and the Mexicans said it was a pig. call ing the flag the pig flag. Meanwhile news had come of the outbreak of war along the Rio Grande and on July 4 Fremont called a meet ing at Sonoma which formally pro claimed the independence of Cali fornia. He was appointed governor Soon afterward there came Intelli gence that Commodore Sloat had ar rived at Monterey (July 7) and had raised the American flag: also that by his orders Commander Montgom ery of the U. S. sloop of war Ports mouth bad taken possession of San Francisco. Sloat. having heard of the hostili ties with Mexico, had sailed immedi ately from Mazatlan for California, where he took possession of the coun try and raised the American flag on his own responsibility. He was none sur~fj?3 Fonr/a*fo CONTINENTAL MALI IN U-A^N/NGTON <5.7? WALTZ/i IZALBffJf too soon, for exactly a week later. July 14, the British man of war Col lingwood. commanded by Sir George Seymour, arrived at Monterey to pro claim British sovereignty. It was thus only by a narrow chance that England did not become the possessor of California, which she had greatly coveted. On the fourth day of July. 1584. two barks which had been sent by Sir Walter Raleigh to discover and annex the American continent north of Florida arrived off the coast. Sailing along for 120 miles, they entered the mouth of a river and took formal pos session of the country for the queen of England, naming it Virginia. They landed on Roanoke island, afterward occupied by the first English settle ment in the new world. This colony, consisting of 110 persons sent out in April, 1585, was abandoned in less than a year, the settlers carrying back with them to Europe the first to bacco and the first potatoes, which latter were planted experimentally on Raleigh's estate not far from Cork, in Ireland. On the fourth day of July. 1754, Benjamin Franklin laid before the commissioners of colonies, at Al bany. a plan for a federal constitu tion. aimed to accomplish a union for defense against French encroachment. It was adopted, but afterward was re jected by some of the colonies and by the British government. This was ex actly twenty-two years before the signing of the Declaration of Inde pendence. Curiously enough, the doc ument was rejected by the colonies because it put too much power into the hands of the king; and it was ve toed in England because it gave too much power to the assemblies of the colonies. On the fourth day of July, 1770, um brellas were first introduced into this country, a shipment of them arriving at the port of Baltimore. They were generally regarded as an absurdity, and it was considered that only fool ish and efTemlnate persons could pos sibly use them. The massacre of Wyoming valley occurred on July 4, 1776. In the previous autumn two com panies had been raised in the valley and had been ordered to join General Washington. Several stockaded forts had been built during the summer, but those left behind to guard them were mostly old men. A raiding force of tories. Canadians and Indians, under Maj. John Butler, a tory of Niagara, entered the valley and set fire to some of the forts. Forty Fort, three miles above Wilkes Barre. had assembled a garrison of 300, largely old men and boys. This force decided to march against the invaders, which it did with disastrous result Taken in flank, it was routed JOJGf r^UTTZR. and destroyed. But ler reported taking 227 scalps and five prisoners, the Eng lish loss being two white men killed and eight Indians wounded Incredrble deeds of cruelty and fe rocity are said to have been commit ted by the tories on this occasion, and the whole valley was left a scene of desolation. But it is not true that women and children were massacred. On the fourth day of July, 1780, con tinental currency notes were worth two cents on the dollar, and, it was said, “a wagonload of paper money was required to pay for a wagonload of provisions.” Nothing could well give a more vivid notion of the desperate situation of the Revolutionary cause at that period. On the Fourth of July, 1S26, Thom as Jefferson, third president of the United States and author of the Dec laration of Independence, died, aged eighty-three. Just fifty years from the date of that historic document On the same day died John Adams, sec ond president of the United States, aged ninety-one. James Monroe also died on the Fourth of July, 1S31, his age being seventy-three. On the fourth day of July. 184S, the treaty of peace with Mexico was pro claimed at Washington. And on the same day the cornerstone of the Washington monument was laid with great pomp and ceremony. Money for building it had been subscribed by in dividuals. but the sum thus obtained proved so far inadequate that the structure remained a mere stump, only about one-third its present height, until 1881. when congress ap propriated the amount necessary for its completion. There was a similar and even more important ceremony in Washington on July 4. 1S51, when President Fill more initiated by the laying of a cornerstone the construction of the two great white marble wings of the capitol. There was an impressive assemblage of dignitaries and an ora tion was made by Daniel Webster, then secretary of state. Of special in terest was the presence of a few per sons who had witnessed the laying of the first cornerstone of the capitol by Washington on the eighteenth day of September, 1793. On the fourth day of July, 1533, John Fryth. an English preacher, was burned at Smithfield for the heresy of Lutheranism. July 4, 1450, was the day on which Jack Cade plundered the city of Lon don 'or a portion thereof, beheading Baron Say and Sele and murdering several other personages of import ance. Cade had fled from England for some crime; but after serving in the French wars he went back to that country and settled in Kent under the assumed name of Aylmer, marrying a lady of good position. When the men of Kent rose in rebellion, in May, 1450, he led them. The rebels made their way into London on July S. A portion of the populace favored them, but the opposing party gained strength when Cade began to plunder and kill. He retired to Southwark, and was prevented from re-entering the city after a fierce struggle on London Bridge. Afterward he was captured, and being severely wounded, died in the cart which was conveying him to London. July 4, 1097, was the date of the battle of Dorylaeum, a great victory of the Crusaders over the Moslems under Soliman, who had attacked them on the march. WILL BE EXCLUSIVE FEAST Only Representatives of Firms One Hundred Years Old Are to Parti cipate in It. There soon will be the oddest din ner party which Philadelphia has yet seen, says the Public Ledger of that city. It will be far more exclusive than the lord mayor's dinner in Lon don. Wealth will not bring you an invi tation nor will public office, even if you are a governor, president or su preme court judge. Ordinary social prestige will count for naught. The only thing that weighs at this dinner is age. but even that doesn't amount to anything if it is under a century. It is to be a banquet of the bluest of blue blood in business. No firm less than 100 years old will poke its feet under the table at this dinner, and even then all business is barred which has not come down directly through the male line since before the battle of Waterloo. There are only about 40 eligibles in the entire United States, and about three-fourths of them are in Philadel phia—a nice testimonial to the stabil itv of trade in this town. More Tolerant Attitude. "Everybody is making fun of your new motor car.” “I'm glad to hear it" replied Mr Chuggins. "It's better to have ’em laughing at it than regarding it as a natural enemy, as they did my old one." . 4 Trombones Scared Indians. Each of the four sessions of the Bach festival at Lehigh univer sity on May 28 and 29 were announced by the Moravian trombone choir, which played from the top of the lofty, ivy-grown stODe tower of Packer Memorial church. For more than 160 years the trombone choir had been a part of the religious and musical life of the local Moravian community Tradition has it that in 1755, a year after trombones were first brought to Bethlehem, the rendition of a choral from the roof terrace of the Brethren's House early on Christmas morning so impressed the hostile Indians lurking on the hillside that they abandoned their attack, “In dread of some un earthly power guarding Bethlehem.” The most frequent duty of the trom bone choir is announcing deaths In the congregation.
