A Columbian ovcnt at once notable

Columbian liberty bell ut Troy , N. Y.
A wire Is to connect the white bouse nntl
the furnace at Troy so Unit by touching
the electric button Alru. Cleveland will
volcaso the melted mas of historic metal
which will run Into the boll mold.
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--

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. Something that has bee
near to the person of Washington , LJ
favotto , iTolTertion , Koswuth , Kosciusk
\Vhittior. I would llko the key of tl
Jtastilo from Mount Vernon and bomo i
the prisoners' chains from Siberia , ar
then Jot the balance bo miulo up by poi
uics contributed by the children of tl
world , particularly these gathered i
the Sunday and other schools. "
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. Gordon , sister
the commander of the ox-Confedora
Veterans association , Senator Gordo
Mrs. Sohuyler Hamilton , jr. , re
resents Now York : Mrs. Go
ernor Prince , Now Mexico ; Mrs. Sc
ator Stanford , California ; Mrs. Senat
Llndboy , Kentucky ; Mrs. John Quln
Adi\ms \ and MissOrulkshank , Minncsol
Mrs. President Dole , Honolulu ; Mi
Nettie Houston Bringhurst ( daughter
General Sam Houston ) , Texas. 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 . ' 10 , 18SS ) , at the
organization of the Sons Of the Ameri
can Revolution and at the organization
of the Daughters of the American Revolution
elution : the metal plates from which
was printed the official National Colum
bian Public School Celebration pro
gram , including the ode. and the pen
with which Edna Dean Proctor wrote
the ode.
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. On Christmas ovc
1)00 ! ) , if it is possible , it will ring upoi
the very spot in the Holy Land wher
the angels delivered the message to th
shepherds of Ju(3ea that is commemorated
ated in its bronze , "Glory to God in tin
highest , on earth peace goodwill toward
men. " From there it will go to the exposition
position at Paris , and so go on and o
with its work for liberty and peace an
the overthrow of mllitaism and autoc
racy throughout the world.
