DEED which ncllhcr France nor England, Greece nor
Rome, ever witnessed was done In Independence Hall,
In the cltu of Philadelphia: a deed that cannot lc
matched In the hlstoru of the world. That old Hall
should forever be kept sacred as the scene of such a
deed. Let the rains of heaven distil dentin on Its roof, and the
storms of winter beat softly on its door. As each successive
aencration of those who have been benefited bu the Great Declara
tion made within Its walls shall make their pilgrimage to that
shrine, man thcu think It not unsccmlii to call Its 'walls salvation
and Its Dates praise. Edward Everett.
IT Ih possibles to hold Fourth of
.luly celebrations In tho Hlmtlow
of tho Btrncturo which saw tho
birth find signing of tho Declara
tion of Independence, the most potent
doctrine for freedom In the history of
tho world, nnd the nation has not. Ig
nored tho opportunity.
Thero aro many patriotic Ameri
cans who make It a duty on
July 4 to journey to Philadelphia, a
pllgrlmago to tho shrlno of liberty,
there to raise their voices In thanks
and rejoicing for the great deed that
was there accomplished.
Since that day, now distant 131
years, when Charles Thomson, rising
in his chair, rehd for the first tlmo the
final draft of 'that momentous docu
ment which Thomas Jefferson wrote,
but which underwent miniy changes
before meeting with tho final approval
of tho delegates to (ho continental
congress, not nn Independence day
has been permitted to pass without u
proper celebration in tho public squnro
back of lndcpendcnco hall.
Presidents of the United Stntcs, sen
ators, representatives, Justices of the
highest courts, nnd even foroign am
bassadors have poured forth their clo
quenco nt liberty's cradle. The
municipal authorities of tho city of
Philadelphia aro careful to see to it
that some distinguished mun is always
on hand as orator of tho day.
The pomp of military circumstnncc
haB sometimes been called upon to
lend prcstigo to the occasion, and tho
best musicians of the land have been
proud to play patriotic nlrs in tho
shadow of the ateoplo where hung tho
bell that so singularly fulfilled the pro
phetic mission nsslgned it 24 years
beforo to "proclaim liberty through
out iho land."
The location of tho hall lends Itself
to purposes of public celobratlon.
Thero Is nmplo room, both front and
back, for the building stands well
back from tho pavement, so that a
largo company can gather In front.
In tho rear, tho beautiful Indopen
donco square, there is still more
space, and thousands nsscmblc to lis
ten to tho orations, nnd hear tho
Declaration of Independence read.
This latter is really tho distinctive
fcaturo of Fourth of July celebrations
in Independence square. Tho day
would not seem properly observed
with this omitted.
It is a notable record of which
every American may bo proud that
not a Fourth of July kas passed slnco
wo have been a nation, without tho In
spired words being uttered nguln to
tho air that heard them first.
The first reading of tho declaration
was that by Charles Thomson, the
secretary of congress, when ho an
nounced tho completed paper to tho
men who had framed It. Thomson
did not, however, read tho declaration
from tho balcony of Independence hall
to tho peoplo crowded outsldo to hear
for tho first tlmo In what terms tho
colonlstB should tell King Georgo that
his control of the 13 colonics was nt
an end.
That prlvilego was reserved for
John Nixon, a prominent mnmbor of
tho commltteo of safety. In honor of
tho occasion, delegates to tho congress
filed out in tho July sunshine to listen
to tho sacred words.
Later, long years after, Edwin For
est, the most noted of American ac
tors, whoso lovo for patriotism and the
Institutions of his country wns dcopcr
even than hla regard for tho stage,
stood on tho same spot, nnd on a
.Fourth of July morning read tho words
of Jefferson, as no man has road them
beforo or slnco. A great crowd was
present, perhaps tho largest, over as

again.

Independence as the best hlnn.lt ploco
of composition In existence, valuing It
even above his beloved Shakespeare.
Two years ufier the lliht Fourth of
July, there occuned a cMirntlon In
Independence square that had ti spe
cial significance. The advance of tho
Hrltlsh, and their oceui ntlon of Phil
adelphia timing the winter of 1777
1778, had forced congress to leave the
Quaker city and go to York.
After the evacuation congiess re
turned July 2 nnd a grand celebration
of the recurrence of the promulgation
of tho declaration was hold. In which
nearly the entire population of Phlln
delphla Joined. Clievalh-r Conrad Al
exandor Reran! or France, the first
minister ever accredited to the United
States from any power, was an Inter
ested spectator.
During the ccntennlnl In Phlladel
plila thero was naturally a notable
demonstration, nnd no ltss u person
than Don Pedro, emperor of Brazil
sat among those who cheered tho son
tlments that had sounded tho downfall
of monarchy In this country, nnd were
finally to take his throne from Mho
ruler of Hrazll.
In later years, another representa

During his first administration,
Grover Cloreland, president of tho
United States, come to Philadelphia
ono Fourth of July nnd, standing on a
platform raised on tho square, ap
pealed to tho young manhood of Amer
ica that the great lessons of 1770 bo
not ignored.
Samuel J. Randal!, Judge Kelloy,
Gen. Grant, Lewis Cassldy have also
figured prominently In Fourth of July
celebrations there.
During tho administration of Mayor

Undor tho direction of the governor

Interest hns been flnlshod at Valley
Forgo park by tho state.
Valloy Forgo has a close relation
ship with Independence day, and tho
old camp slto has proved a Mecca on
July 4 to thousands of Americans who
como from all over tho union to pay
a tributo to tho fathers of tho United
States who suffered nnd died on this
historic spot. Practically tho ontlro
slto has beon reserved. A chapel
has boon orected on tho spot whoro
Washington wns discovered at prayer.
At tho moment Valloy Forgo park
comprises about 175 acres. It Is
properly policed and cared for by
workmen, whoso duty It is to kcop tho
roads and tho ontlro park in perfect
order.
Public Interest has kept paco with

TO CLEAN DLACK LACE.
Oetter Not Wash It Unlets It It De
cidedly Dirty.
IUack Inco should not ho washed
unless It Is decidedly dirty, but
should be well shaken to remove as
much dust as Is possible and then
dipped In a solution of deep blue gum
wnter. When the lace has become
dirty and brownish In color, the boRt
plan Is to wash It In soap suds nftd
then rinse nnd ntlffen It In deep blue
wnter, to which tho gum water bin?
been added. The deep blue water will
help to restore the lace to lis oilglnal
black.
Tho lace should be all rolled In nn
old cloth for a short time and then
pinned out with tho cloth between It
nnd the sheet, as It ImpartB a blue
Rttiln, which It would be necessary to
remove from the sheet.
When the lace Is quite dry remove
the plus and plnie a piece of tissue
paper oer It. lion It with the paper
botween It nnd the Iron. If the Iron
Is placed dlicctly on the lace It will
leave a glos.j on it which Is not pretty
nnd which stamps It as "washed lace."
A good method for washing lace Is
to dip It in a solution made of equal
parts of milk- nnd wnter. After
squeezing out the lace should ho rolled
In n cloth for n few minutes nnd then
straightened nnd placed between folds"
of tissue paper and Ironed until dry
Tho nbovo solution makes tho lace
Btlff, therefore If it requires but a
Blight stiffening Increase the amount
of wator and decrease the amount ol
milk.
