Jinn In the Street
Emerson was not the first to use this
phrase in his Conduct of Life which
was published in 1SGQ In the first se
ries of the Grevilie Memoirs under
date March 22 1830 occurs the follow
ing passage
Then will come the question of a
dissolution which one side affirms will
take place directly and the other that
the king will not consent to it know
ing as the man in the street as we
call him at Newmarket always does
the greatest secrets of kings and being
the confidant of their most hidden
thoughts
It would appear from this that the
expression was in common use among
racing men in 1S30 Notes and Que
ries

HE RANG OUT LIBERTY
The Grave of William Hurry Added
to 1ntrIotInmH Landmarks
The gravo of the man who first rang
the Liberty bell has been found For
many j cars all trace had been lost of
the bell ringer who obeyed the injunc
tion lettered on the sratehouse bell in
Philadelphia by ringing it vigorously
and proclaiming liberty throughout
the land and to the Inhabitants there
of
It was known to few historians In a
vague way that his name was William
Ilurrv and that lie was a man well ad
vanced in years on that immortal day
but the familiar poem The Liberty
Bellman with its thrilling lines
Ring he shouts Ring grandpa
Ring oh ring for liberty
And straightway at the signal
The old bellman lifts his hand
And sends the good news making
lion music through the land
had surrounded Ilurry with a legendary
atmosphere that made many persons
regard him as a sort of myth
Antiquarians and historians had made
frequent searches for the body to prove
his reality if nothing more but these
were all in vain until recently the
graveyard of the old Pine Street Pres
byterian church Fourth and Tine
streets Philadelphia was discovered
to bo the last resting place of the fa
mous Revolutionary character
Credit for tills discovery goes to Ja
cob Low sexton of the church When
Low came upon Hurrys grave the
headstone was sunk almost out of
sight Only two letters It and Y
of the name Hurry were visible
Lows curiosity was aroused and rais
ing the stone with careful precautions
against breaking it he cleared it of the
moss and mold and was overjoyed to
find that it marked the grave of the
Liberty bellman
An examination of the stone shows
that at the time he rang the bell Hurry
was a man of fifty five years ne Avas
born Oct 22 1721
Hurrys activity in the cause of free
dom did not stop with the ringing of
the old bell now next to the original
drafts of the Declaration of Independ
ence and the constitution of the United
States the most prized relic connected
with the birth of the nation He volun
teered for service In the Continental
army and served with distinction in a
number of battles His signature on
call for volunteers is still in possession
of the old church
It is a somewhat pathetic circum
stance that nurry did not live to see
the complete triumph of the colonists
over Great Britain He died in 1781
two years before the surrender of
Cornwallis Washington Post

tal
The programme follows
National salute at sunrise

sular and provincial officials the officials

mornings festivities
9 p m Grand ball at the presldencia
Scjjpfstloii For Fireworks
No matter how warm and wearied a
man may be a firecracker dropped
down his shirt collar will stimulate
him
One of the latest quips is to paint a
small bomb in Imitation of a golf ball
and let a friend take a whack at it
One of the most propitious places for
a firecracker is a fluffy hat or better
still the back hair
One of the capital diversions of an
evening entertainment is to fasten a
pinwheel to a lace curtain touch a
match to the fuse and see what the
firemen do
Some may prefer a plate glass win
dow for a skyrocket target but the
best authorities agree that it is seen at
Its best in a crowded dining room
New York Herald
JL Patriots Prophecy
But whatever mas be our fate lie
assured that this Declaration will
stand It may cost treasure and
it may cost blood but it will stand
and it will richiy compensate for both
Through the thick gloom of the pres
ent I see the brightness of the future
as the sun In heaven We shall make
this a glorious an immortal day When
we are in our graves our children will
honor It They will celebrate It with
thanksgiving with festivity with bon
fires and illuminations On its annual
return they will shed tears copious
gushing tears not of subjection and
slavery not of agony and distress but
of exultation of gratitude and of joy

lis Celebration
By JAMES HAZEN
bank steps and watched the
rockets and bombs rise above
the trees from Towers grove
and thought miserably of what a dif
ferent Fourth of July he had antici
pated
It was to have been one of the old
fashioned Greenvale celebrations The
lire company would parade in the
morning and by noon they would all
be at the grove Squire Kinsman
would have made the opening address
and Avould ave Introduced Hugh as
our rising young attorney and he
had liked to think how a little whisper
would run through the crowd as he
rose to read the Declaration of Inde
pendence for it was known that he
was soon to become the old squires
and this linking of names
on the platform would have set
tongues clacking
Then there would have been the pic
nic dinner the boating on the lake the
stroll through the woods with Dorothy
BUTTON HELD THEIR HANDS UP WHILE
HUGH HOUND THEM
a little supper and all would have
come trooping back to town to see a
few dozen pinwheels set off in front of
the fountain in Courthouse square
Hippie had changed all that even
the engagement for in the quarrel over
his refusal to further the changed ar
rangements Dorothy had given him
back his ring he had told her to marry
Hippie if she wanted to and both had
been utterly miserable ever since
Hippie Gregory Hippie had opened
a clothing store in the bank building
about six weeks before and already
there was talk of making him town
clerk in the fall so popular had he be
come and so great an interest did he
show in local affairs
It was he who had ridiculed the idea
of old fashioned Fourths It was he
who had circulated the subscription pa
per for the fireworks and the Anony
mous 100 that topped the list was
more conspicuously his than if he had
signed his own name
The speechmaking and the reading
of the Declaration had been set aside
as time worn Instead there were to
be races for prizes a greased pig and
all sorts of sports on land and lake in
the afternoon while in the evening 400
worth of fireworks were to be set off
from a float anchored in the lake and
there would be a concert by the cornet
band
It seemed to Hugh as if he of all the
town had remained at home Across
the square Harvey Dwight was mak
ing up the mail in the tiny postotlice
and Rem Vincent was waiting to take
the single bag up to the station Of
course Turner the station agent was
at his post but the rest were at the
grove and had been most of the day
Hem Vincent came over and sat down
on the steps beside him Goiu out to
the grove he asked enviously
Dwights goin as soon as lie gets the
mail made up
Not me said nugh I like an old
fashioned Fourth
A gleam of hope sprang Into Vin
cents eyes Say he begged will
you take the bag to the station It
aint heavy just a few letters and I
can get out to the grove with Dwight
All the good stuff Is on the float Them
rockets just tempt jou out Hippie
bet hed have the whole town out at
the grove and hes done it
Go ahead said Hugh Ill tell
Dwight And he watched Rem make
off down the street Somehow his
words kept ringing through his head
Why should Hippie want to get the
whole town to the grove Was it pride
or was there some other reason
As if in answer there came a muf
fled explosion and the step on which
he was sitting shook slightly That
must have been a big boinb Hugh look
ed up but the sky at that moment was
lighted only by the stars
Suddenly he understood The store
was next the bank Could the whole
celebration have been arranged to get
the people out of town so that a raid
might be made at the bank Hippie
had announced that the best thing of
the day would be the set piece This
was to be fired at 11 oclock The train
went through at 11 He had read of
such schemes
There was no way of getting Into the
bank and no watchman was employ
ed The solitary police officer parading
the square was thought sufficient and
tonight even he was out at the grove
There was one tiny window at the
rear and to this Hugh made his way
He almost betrayed himself by a cry
as he glanced In
The vaults of the bank were In the
cellar to save the expense of building
a pier to raise the structure to the
street level In the wall on the store
side was a breach and on the floor lay
the doors to the vault blown off with
dynamite Three men were working
over the contents of the safe storing
suit cases with the spoil and from the
leisurely fashion In which they worked
Hugh was satisfied that they intended
to take the train
If anything were done it must be
done without much assistance for the
people were all out of town Dwight
would be of little use He might get
help at the station He brushed the
dirt from his knees and strolled over
to the postoilice Dwight was standing
in the doorway
Drat that Rem Vincent he scolded
Seen him Hugh
Gone to the grove explained Hugh
I told him Id take the bag up to the
station and see that it got on board all
right
Jump In and Ill drive you round
that way offered the postmaster
Hugh shook his head
I want to use the phone a moment
he said You hurry up Theyve been
at it almost an hour now
Dwight unlocked the door and jump
ed into the buggy Its a spring lock
he explained Be sure and shut it
Avheu youre through Giddap And
the buggy sped off down the road Vin
cent had taken
Hugh called up the station and chat
ted for a moment then he hung up the
receiver and flattened his face against
the front window
It was an hour before the three men
emerged from the store and carefully
locked it after them They set out up
the street and Hugh shouldering the
mail bag started after them
They turned at the sound of steps
but the sight of the mail bag reassured
them and they went on The bag was
an excuse for Hugh to take it easy and
he kept them In sight until they en
tered the station He set the mail bag
on the baggage truck and went inside
after the men Turner nodded to him
as he entered and with a sigli of relief
Hugh sank into a seat in the corner
Presently Button the baggagemas
ter came in and approached Hugh
Apparently he had been drinking and
they were soon in wordy warfare that
presently passed to blows Button
drew a pistol and Turner came out of
his oflice with another weapon But
ton suddenly recovering faced the
three men with Turner and held their
hands up while nugh bound them
It was all over in a moment and the
three were locked in the baggage room
while Hugh and Button set off for the
grove to capture Hippie
Hippie had promised the sensational
close of the evening for 11 oclock and
had meant it to be a set piece showing
Squire Kinsman as president of the
village surrounded flags The real
sensation was his own arrest and the
tale of the wrecked bank but to Hugh
the best part of the evening was when
Dorothy slipped her hand in his and
begged forgiveness so prettily that he
could not even make pretense of de
bate That kiss atoned for his not
reading the Declaration His celebra
tion came last but it was by far the
more sensational and satisfactory
THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC
A Fourth of July Oral lou hy Senator
Jonathan P Dolllver
The truth is that the great and admi
rable epochs in the history of the Unit
ed States are not to be found in the re
mote past They are in the present
just behind us and all around us It is
an inexcusable disparagement of our
own times to attribute to other genera
tions what does not belong to them
and to take away from our own its
just claim upon the confidence and
gratitude of mankind
The history- of a nation is only a
statement of its preparation for its
part in the progress of the Avorld and
while the Revolutionary era must al
ways le cherished and the men and
women who wrought its great achieve
ments commemorated with honor and
applause it ought not to be forgotten
that their work required infinite sacri
fices before it grew into permanent
strength and became a part of the
fixed order of things a permanent fac
tor in the course of human events
Our fathers began the work of build
ing the American republic they left it
to their children to finish it It is at
least as important to live as it is to be
born and this patriotic anniversary
ought to be put to a better use than to
spread the gospel of discouragement
and fear in the public mind as the
people participate in this historic me
morial of the life and times of their
ancestors Senator Jonathan P Dolli

Benjamin Harrisons Advantage
John Adams viewing in Faneuil hall
in his later years Trumbulls painting
of the Declaration of Independence
recalled that when engaged in signing
it a side conversation took place be
tween Benjamin Harrison who was
remarkably corpulent and Elbridge
Gerry who was remarkably thin All
Gerry said Harrison I shall have
an advantage over you in tills act
How so inquired Gerry Why re
plied Harrison when we come to be
hung for treason I am so heavy I shall
plump down upon the rope and be dead
in an instant but you are so light that
j ou will be dangling and kicking about
for an hour in the air
Tie the Thumbs on Little Willie
Tie the thumbs on little Willie
As he wanders forth to play
It may look a trifle silly
But hell need the thumbs some day
He may chafe at the restriction
And protest against the plan
But youll have his benediction
When he gets to be a man
