The boll promises to have more his tory In Its composition and moro possi bilities from its influence than any crea tion in the world's history. The bell of 70 that rang out to the world the news that the declaration of independence of the United States was a fixed fact , was not planned for this purpose , but in its making it had cast upon it what proved n most prophetic text , "Proclaim liberty throughout all the world , to all the in habitants thereof. " This Is the dearly treasured independent-obeli of America , hut the Columbian bell will be the llrst deliberately planned liberty boll the world has known. The llrst thought of this bill , says the New York Advcrtihor , eiinio to Mr. Wil liam O. McDowell of Newark on the occasion of the organi/ation on October 32 , 1801 , in Independence hall , Philadel phia , of the Human Freedom league. Mr. McDowell saw within the room a poem entitled 'The Liberty Hell , " that Buld among other things : TlicroV n logeiul ( old of : i fur ofT-luiid-- The land of u Idiijj ( whoio the people planned To Imlld thuni u Ix'II tliat nuvor should rhiK , Hut to lull of the death or hlttli or a king.

One day the olliciul organ of thi Daughters of the American devolution telling the story of the organization it Pennsylvania of the Liberty Boll Cliap tor of the Daughters of the America ! Kovolution , reached Mr. McDowell The memory of the above poem was stll fresh in his mind , and ho at once ad dressed a letter to the regent of tha ohapter , suggesting that the proposet boll bo an exact duplicate of the liberty orty bell or present Independence hal boll , and that it should bo placed by tin levers of liberty and peace In tin most appropriate place in tin Doming World's exhibition a Chicago , and after the closing o the exhibition Jxi located at nome spo like "Liberty Island , LJunkor Hill or a the national capital , or moved fror place to place for use until the no.x world's exhibition takes , place * That i Hhould go from exposition oxpositio while it lasts , and when in time 1 should be cracked or worn out , again i should bo recast , that the intluonco c the liberty boll might go on and on , an that while the original remains with ! the snored walls of Independence hal Philadelphia , its duplicate and sistc might go but throughout the world u the messenger of liberty and peace. A further suggestion by Mr. Mi Dowell contained in this letter was n follows : "I would apply to the great roprc Bontatlves of the liberty idea living , ante to their families , if dead , including th president of every republic and govornc t every state , for a contribution in coj per or silver , that should go into th boll. If they can bo obtained wo will si duro some useless crowns , like these < Franco and Brazil , cannon and other in plomonts. that Imvo boon used In war. a thoso'tp bo dedicated to hereafter rin out for peace.

" The organization approved of the ; suggestions , and a letter was then wri ton to the governor of every state ni : territory in the union , requesting hi to appoint a lady to represent his sta or territory upon the committee create the Columbian liberty boll , ai direct its use. In almost every case tl governor responded at once with li appointment. The governor of Georg immcd Mrs. Loulio M.

Th was organi/.ed a committee of the me representative women in America. The press and pulpit and the sehot then took up the work. The llrst ea tribution received from a church w from the congregation liar Sinai , Hal ; .T. Gabriel , Trenton , N. .1. The large contribution from a school was from. re hey City grammar school No. 8 , $23 , ma up of pennies and nickels. But the most Interesting feature connection with the creation of the b < is the wonderful collection of materl that has been contributed and is boi ; received day by day for it. Swords tli have been uoed in battle ; metal idoi illod with every progress , Invent ! and buloni'o ; remembrances and lo gifts , too precious to bo trusted by mortal looking forward to death In a .other . nhico except the Columbian llbot bell , lm\o boon bent. Among the Hi , contributions wore n part of the chti that Washington used in his survovl oxporloneo in Virginia ; a clipping frc the silver snufl box that he presented Bushrod Washington on the latte elevation to the supreme bench of t United States ; the Hint look from t musket used hy Thomas Jefferson ai boy ; Hints from the room where ho wrc the Declaration of Independence ; t copper kettle in which his porridge \ \ cooked when ho was a child ; the p with which Governor Cornell signed t bill giving to women the same rig equally with man to vote at school me Ingu in New York , and a part of the g < chain that was worn by General Bollvi the "Washington" of South America. From the wife of one of the most n rcscntutivo confederate generals llvi came a silver medal that had been p : Hunted to her husband by a gonoi formerly in the union service , this met having been given to u colored soldi of the Army of Virginia for bravery on the battlefield. Other gifts for the boll have been , the last Washington medal Htruek In com memoration of the 100th anniversary of the Inauguration of George Washington as first president of the United State.f , from a member of the Union League club and one of the founders of the Sons of the American Revolution ! and a copper penny dated 1818 , sent by a Gorman woman , the widow of a soldier killed that year in the light for German freedom , From Now Mexico ice have como copper utensils made by Indians out of native copper before. America was discovered by Columbus. A descendant of John C' . Calhoun sent hla favorlto silver spoon : a daughter of Lucrotla Molt bent the silver fruit knife that she had used during her life , and the llrst dollar contributed to the Ktu- sian famine relief fund was among these that had been redeemed by a paper dollar lar that It might go into the boll. A young lady student In Wollcsloy college , who had been the first cjn * trlbutor to the Washington National university fund ( that the dearest thought of Washington's heart that of the National university might bo on the way to being an accomplished fact ) , sent a second contribution , and received the return of the llrst that it might bo molted into the Liberty boll. The lir.st , $ . " > received in organl/ing the Daughters ) f the American Kovolution was con tributed as five silver dollars by that organization to bo melted into the bell. The Swiss minister sent silver coins issued by the various cantons that make up the republic of Switzerland. Still other gifts have been , the silver bands from the gavel that win u ed by the presldsng ollicer In the long room , Frauuces' tavern , April .

The committee erecting the national liberty polo at the highlands of the NavcMink bent the first dollar that had been contributed to their fund. The mines in every state and territory sent some of their productions , that the fusing of the metal coming from Alaska to the gulf , from the Atlantic to the Pacific and Hawaii asked in this to have her part in this liberty boll , might typify the union of today , and Pennsylvania , the Keystone state , is bending the coal that will fuse the mass of metal into the bell. Up to the present time it it estimated that at least 100,000 individuals , princi pally children with their pennies , have contributed to the undertaking. Only hilver , copper , gold , nickel and tin can bo fused into the bell. tt is the intention of its founders that this boll shall ring every day at sunrise and suiisot , at 0 o'clock in the morning on the anniversaries of events of impor tance and significance in the world's history in its progress toward liberty and peace , at o'clock on the anniver sary of the birth of Washington , .Teller- son , Franklin , KosciubKO , Kossuth , Lafayette , Bolivar , .Turns , Toiissaint , L'Ouvorture , Lincoln , Ram Houston , Hannah Arnott and other men and women who are entitled to their place in the world's gallery of the "Creators of Liberty1 ; at 4 o'clock in the after noon on the anniversaries of the death of these men , tolling their ago at death , And It will ring at no other timo. The boll is to go first to the Chicag < exhibition and then to return to tin capital of the nation to be under tin care of the Daughters of the Americai Revolution ; then to go to Bunker Hill to Liberty Island battlefield of Not' ' Orleans , 1812 , and to the unveiling o the monument at Trenton , and to sttcl other places on historical occasion where it can do the best work for tin cause it represents.
