Hnirry Sleejm lit Shadow of Pino Street Prenbrteriun Church.

Tho grave of the man who first tolled the Liberty Bell hag just been found, and by a singular coincidence almost on the eve of July 4. Por many years all trace had been lost of tho bell ringer who obeyed the injunction lettered on the Stato Homo bell, Philadelphia, by. ringing It vigorously and "Proclaiming liberty throughout the land ana to the Inhabitants thereof." It was known to a few historians, In a vague way, that his name -was William Hurry, and that be was a man well advanced In on that Immortal day when serving In the humble capacity of bell ringer, made his place In history. The familiar poem, so well known to all Americana, "The Liberty Bell Man," with, ita thrilling lino, "Ring, grandfather, ring," had surrounded Hurry with a legendary atmosphere that made many persons regard him as a sort of myth. and historians had mado frequent searches for the body, to prove his reality, If nothing- more, but these all in vain until recently the grave- 'yard of the old Pine Street Presbyterian Church, Fourth and streets, Philadelphia, was discovered to be the last resting place of the fmnoue revolutionary character.

Credit for this important disclosure goea to Jacob Low, Bftiton of the church. Some time ago ho began compiling a census of the long dead denizens of the ancient burying place. In the process numerous facts of great hiatorlcaJ interest came to light, all connected with graves of revolutionary patriots or of famous men of the Eighteenth and early Nineteenth Centuries. It was not an easy task. Time's hand had effaced many of the mscrlpUona, and of the utone, tumbling from their pedestals, had buried themselves in the aod, so that it required arduous work to mount them agam, Many famous revolutionary heroos were found ta old graveyard, including the first naTal officer of the United States, Nathan was appointed before this country had a navy, and: he fought on for liberty before he took up duty.

Boys was a trustee of Old Pine Street Church. Among other noted patriots whose bones rest there are: Col. Thomas Craig, Capt- Isaao Craig, hero of Tcrktowm Cant. Alexander Brown, Col. Robert Knox, Lieut William Henry, Capt James Rosa, Cant John Marshall, LteuL Thomas MeCttrfoueh Capt.

William McMullIn, Lieut. John Woodside, Lieut. CoL Paul Cox, Gen. John Steele Capt William Llnnard and Dr. William Shippen Jr.

All of these men were members of the church. Tho tombstone of Mrs, Mary Nelson, who saved, during the revolution, a quantity of gunpowder from being destroyed at one of the Delaware forts, was found to be still Kllhu Hoot was graduated froi Hamilton at tho head of his class he had a choice between following hi father as a teacher of mathematics and going to New York to break into tho law Ho chose the law, somewhat to the dlap polnonnnt 01 hlo father, who was profeaeo of mathematics In tho college and wa known to all Hamlltonlans aa "Cube" Root. For young Ellhu Root had been a wonde In mathematics; he could seo further into mathematical abstractions than even his father, they cald at Hamilton. "Very well," said Prof. Root when th young man made his choice, "I'll give you letters of introduction to some people In New York who will help you." "I don't -want them," nulled young Root "I'm starting out to do this thing tnybelf, I'm going to make my own friends without any family puli.

I want to flnd out whether I'm a man or a mouse." So ho drifted Into the disturbed Now York thft-t day, found a corner In a li hM WO prlTatton that of Mr. Root. The fact is that for time he lived on 50c a day, ajid when even this resource was gone he scraped bv tutoring in mathematics, for which 0 hud tho familv taAva.it. From the time ho struck Now Yorii until he was making a liviruj out of his law nrac ri-S 0 Root-- they called hin loung" even after he wait well past middle age-supported himself. He did this voluntarily; it WM part of Ills process of finding out whether he was a man or a mouse Ihc close of the Civil "War was a time of opportunity.

the very first Mr. Roots marvelous analytical faculty, his application, his -will, shoved him toward largo atfaJrs. 1 ad a was finding his friends for himself before he was By the time he was 30 ho had a good corporation practice and was a.leader of the New York bar. It was a great many years before he was 4-- 'ge heard little of him until ho stepped Into tho phoes of Algcr to make over a disorganized Wai- Department. His period of quiet preparation covered tho whole period of national growth between the Civil War and the a panish War.

In good condition, Side by side with the friends of freedom found its foes, Including Gen. Tarleton of execrated memory, the British tyrant, whose cruelty in. the South caused endless misery. But the feature of the Investigation that brought moat delight to- the devoted searcher was tho finding of Hurry's grava This Is located near the Pine street entrance Tho modest stone that commemorates the departed is about four feet high and includes also references to two other occupants of the grave. When Ixmr came upon it, the grave and headstone wero sunk almost out of sight Only letters, iV and of the name of Hurry were visible.

curiosity was Immediately aroused, as he remembered the name or the man who proclaimed liberty and for grave earnest search had been made, and raising the stonft with careful precaadona against breaking it, ho cleared It of moss and mold, and was overjoyed to find that it marked tho sravo of the Liberty Bellman. An ersmmation of tbe storw gives some information as to Hntry. It shows that at the time be rang the bcJI he was a man of 54 years. He was bom Oct 22, 1721 Harry's actJrlty in tbe cause of frftedom did not stop with the ringing of the old bell, now nent to tho original drafts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constltntlon of the United States the most prized reTle connected with the birth of the Nation. Ho volunteered far aervlco In tho Continental Army and nerved with distinction in a number of battles.

His slfmaturo on rail for volunteers is stin fn rxssossioii of tho old chtirch. It a nomevhat pathetic ch-cmnatance that Hwny did not live to see tho complete trlumrJi of the Colonists over Great Britain. He died In 1781. two years before the surrender of Cornwallln irt Yorktown ended the war and established American freedom Tor all time, but his life extended far enough for him to sco that tho ultimata triumph of American arms was assured Since Its discovery tho grave has bocn'me a meccfl for the patriotic visiting Philadelphia from all over the United Tt ims been knnt with flowers "bv tho children of the neighborhood, and on future National holidays will bo the scene of mo- rnorial cTcrcfPCB by It was because he was a great lawyer that he was suddenly injected into national "I shall put the best lawyer I can find s.t the head of the War DujMirtment," said President AtcKinley, in discussing a successor for Secretary AJger. It was as a lawyor that Mr.

Root was chosen; hte poUUcul record had not been ntartling. his predecessor, Secretary Hay. was made for the direction of large affairs, not for the seeking of small offices. As a lawyer he gave mo Government the most efficient administration of the War Department since the Civil War. "How did you get tho army reorganisa- tion bffl throughT' they asked him, "a'der his work In the department was done, for tho passage of that bill was the roost difficult feai of his administration.

Secretary after Secretary had tried to reorganiss the army and had been beaten by the powerful static forces which always lined up against reform, "I took the army fcr my client," he said. "That's all." Because he will probably carry that prin- cipJo into his administration of the State Department, and because his absolute devotion to his clients Is a tradition among lawyers, his character us a statesman may be summed up in his abilities as a lawyer. Above all his other qualities is that of far seeing analysis. The mathematical genius of his family shows that. In his early days at the bar he was noted an a cross-examiner, and this although ho is an Indifferent poblic speaker.

He was a terror to shifting witnesses and scourge to liars. Only those who watched hte methods closely knew that this was because had gone to the very bottom of every detail in the case, threshed It out to its last analysis and come into court with the case BO clear in his mind that ho had a parry at once for every thrust of his antagonist, however unexpected- No enthusiasm ever threw him, off hia balance; no one ever knew Elihu Root to lose that perfect poise of his. Friends of tho family say that he got this quality from his mother, a woman all sweetness and friendliness, but of perfect self-pos- in ail -emergencies. This custom of analysis became a habit with Elflm Root "Whsi la at the bottom of this UilnRT" Is the first question that seems to spring hito his mind when he sits down to the consideration of any case or of any problem, He takes no rest until be reaches tho ultimate analysis. From this, with his wide experience of men and affairs, he can build the situation back again, step by step, to its logical conclusion.

It is a common mistake to suppose that imagination has no part in mathematics and other exact sciences. Original work in mathematics needs aa much imagination as poetry; imagination marks the dlfferenca between the plain senior wrangler and a Sir Isaac Newton. And since the mind of KHhu Root is at the bottom mathematical, imag- ination in tho force by which ho follows a logical situation to its logical outcome. "HUhu Root ctm sec further Into an abstract proposition than any other man I over knew, said an official who has grown gray high Government service, "and ho is fairly a prophet at following; it to its probable second quality which haa made for Mr. Root's success in law Is his tact, and that is a quality which is raro In these big, analytical intellects.

The man of balance and far sight la likely to bo unmagnetic, wanting in perception of men and in sensitiveness--and tho sensitive spirit is tho mother of tact. Elfhu Root has the knack of handling men, of rubbing their fur tho nsht way, of making them sac things with his eyes. "Settle It out of court," has been one of hia unformulated mottoes. Asaln again he has settled big cases by calling In his opponents, talking it over, getting them together. Superficial obserrers have called Mr.

Ropt cold. The- samo tiling: was said of his prb- dwceasor, Secretary Hay, and for the same reason, slnco tho two minds wero of the samo typfl at bottom. Mr. Root is of tho mental temperament; his psychology lies deep down--it Is only with an effort that ho thrown his feelings to the surface. There Is a dynamo under the Ice, however, a very warm and human personality, as his friends and his family know.

His charities havo been many, but very quiet. His gift of a science hall to Hamilton College has been almost his only public act of giving. He Is called hy his employes ono of the sparest and most UberaJ employers In the country; and Ills liberality goes further tliah money. He always gives his subordinates full credit. From the tlma when be was first able to afford clerks in his office he has mado It a rulo that every creditable brief shall bear not his own name, but that of the clerk who drew it up.

In this respect ho is an exception among 1 eminent lawyers. Above all Uiese qualities Is tliat of hard work and business concentration. They used to notice at Washington that ho never knew when meal time camo and that night was announced for him by the coming of, the electric lichts. When important matters came before him ho went into long- periods of concentrated thought, during which tho doormen and employes learned, he was to be disturbed only at tholr peril. When his door was closed, when the Secretary had gone into executive session with himself, not even a Senator or a Cabinet member was allowed to disturb him.

He started to analyze something; ho must carry It out to tho very end before he let tho machine stop. In earlier days his recreation, like that of President Roosevelt, lay in long- hunting Tips in the "West. He has dropped that in his later years. 'For a timn fin In tolf. MOV; his avocation IB his friends and his family.

Ho loves long, familiar Ulks, in which his exterior sloughs off and the real man lihlnes ouL Otherwise it is all work. Burins the troubled summer of 1900, when the Boxers were besieging- the legations at Pekin, ho was the only Cabinet officer who stuck it out all during the hot Washington summer, lie stayed with it twenty-four hours out of the twenty-four, while the melting asphalt pavements were pulling off shoes. no longer "Tounff" BUhu Root. name was dropped after he entered the Cabinet Yet appears younger than his 60 years. His photographs make him appear still younger; one would guess his age, from the slctares, at 40.

Seen in heal life, his and mustache are Iron gray, but hia Emooth, brownish skin is hardly wrinkled. Us familiar bang- of hair tops tho round nd rather high forehead which is said to denote imagination. Trained in the rather formal school of oratory taught at Hamilton College, Mr. Root Is solid rather than brilliant as a KiHiaker. He lines 'out good, hard sense, without much trimming.

For that reason he is at his worst In an after dinner speech, and at his beat to a serious political speech. His speech to the convention which nominated Roosevelt for President Is a good example of hfi Jinest oratory. Yet Mr. Root has his sense of humor, which gleams out now and then. A reporter who had annoyed him by foolish questions once capped tho climax by asking whether tbe President was coins to remove Mr.

Then ho sot forth the justice, the necessity aji3 tho advantages of a separation from Great Britain, he dwelt on tho neglect and insult with which their petitions had boon treated by the and on that vindictive spirit, which showed itself in the employment of German troops, whoso arrival was hourly expected, to compel the colonists to unconditional submission. He concluded by urging the present time aa the most suitable for reKolvlns on independence, Inasmuch as it had become the first wish and the last Instruction of tbe communities tliay represenled. When tho time for voting came the resolution for Independence was sustained by nine colonies--two-thirds of the whole number.

The committee rose and reported the rcsohittonu but at the request of Ed- TTard Kutledgc, on behalf of South Carolina, the determination upon it was put off till the next day. On July 2, then, twelve colonies, New York atone dissenting, passed the resolutions. It remained now only to sot forth the reason for tho act, and the principles which the new people would own as their guides. Inrrns' the remainder of that day and the tiro next, the language, the statements and the principles of paper were closely ocanned, and In tho evening of July 4, New Yorjt still abstaining from the vote. twcrre States, without one negative, agreed to tho final draft of the Declaration, of Independence as it has come down to us.

Prom this It win bo seen that the declaration was not signed by the members of Congress on the day on which It was agreed to, but it was duly authenticated by the President and Secretary, and published 1o the world, July 2 is really Independence Day. The Nation, when Jt made the choice of a day for its great anniversary, however, selected not the day of the resolution of Independence, which dosed the past, but that of the declaration of the principles on which it opened its now Sanday Herald.

TWODAYS LATE! 1 Real Blow Was Struck on July 2, If every citizen of the United States wero asked why he or his children celebrate tha Fourth of July almost evqryono would say, "It is Independence day. On July 4. 1776, tho United States became an indepeiident Nation." Cnly a few knowing ones would bo found to say that our independence day Is really Jwiy 2 instead of tho 4th, but theso few are right according to the facts. Most of us are accustomed to think also that our independence was achieved by a happy unnnshl onn July day-- the 4th-- and that it camn almont solely through the efforts of Thomas Jelfcrson.of Virginia. Yet from the beginning of the war there had been largo party of men who had fougli In Congress to hnvo the colonies declare themselves frftA from tho mother country and this party had a hard row to hoe.

The strength of tho resistance made to the declaration is now very in tie understood. Nevertheless, there were many who al along 1 had opposed it In a haU-licarted sort of rvay, because they not bcliuvt! in a decisive step.

Nevertheless -the greatest credit Is due to Jefferson for his masterpiece.

From tho fullness of hfs own mind, without consulting one single book, Jefferson drafted the declaration, submitting it separately to Franklin and to John Adams, accepting- irom each of them one or two verbal, unimportant corrections, and on Juno 2S repoHed it to Congress. On Monday, July 1, great question of independence came for its first real consideration. The final test was at hand The instructions which Maryland had Kiven to Us delegates to vote against inde- pendcnco were recalled and the delegates wero nnd empowered to concur with the other colonies, or a majority of them, in declaring tho united colonies free and Independent Sfatew. The first step was to pass the resolution that Congress resolve Itself into a committee of the whole to tnlio into consideration the resolution respecting Independence. At ono tlmo another all the arguments for Independence and ngatnWt it had been exhausted, and wore become familiar It was therefore expected that no more would bo said In public, hut that tho question would be put and determined.

Mr. Dickinson of Pennsylvnnlo, however was determined to bear his testtmonv ngaln.st it with mom formality. He had prepared himself with great Inbor and nr- dcnt zcfll, nnd (n a speech of great length, nnd with all his ho combined together all that had beforo been written In pamphlets newspapers, and -ill a had from time to time been sold In Congress by nnd others, llo conducted the debate with grout ingenuity eloquence, equal politeness and cuiuior Kor IL few minute. 1 perfect silence prevailed; every ono felt tho responsibility of acting finally on the most important question ovc.r agitated In tho In thn of tlm inovnr of (ho rpfolutlon Ihc leetle cranky about some things--hia den, for Instance, Ho won't let a woman put her nose inside It--not to slick the room up.

"It'd be a good deal easier to find 'em when I want The Fadftles recenthy removed from one part of the city to, another. 'Til tend to packing the things rn my den," said Mr. Puddle. "Don't let anybody go In there and dlscombobulate things." "But, dearie," said Mrs.

Fuddle, "you know how you pot things off. I'm afraid you, won't have them ready. Tou know, the Tans will be here Friday "That's all right. F1I be ready. I ain't going 1 to take much along.

I'm going to throw away of tho track that has accumulated there," So that evening--it was Wednesday--Fuddle put on an old suit of clothes and began pulling things out of drawers and cupboards and boxes and pigeonholes, preparatory to sorting- out those which he Intended to throw away. From the closet door and shelves ho drag dusty boxes that had not been opened since he moved into the house, years ago. At that time he had promised himself that he would immediately go through those boxes and weed out what it was no longer necessary to keep, but he had put It oft and put it off until that tomorrow which never comes. Then 1 there wag the later accumulation-letters, pamphlet, r'lpptrtgs and scraps of memoranda scattered and piled on desk, table, stand nnd book rack, not to mention heaps of newspapers and periodicals on the floor in the corners- every one of which must be looked over carefully, lest rt contain something which might bo useful to Fuddle some time OP other. Now, Fuddle Is one of those complacent creatures who always think there is time You can't hurry him.

And, as in "ijSUily tJiu CS6 wHil StiClr pCTHUHH, he IS sure to underestimate the time It will tako him to do anything. Mrs. FudOle Is forever say in "Charles, do get ready for dinner. Tou know it always taes you longer UKHI yon think It will." And he is forever answering 1 "Never you mind; I'll bo ready," and forever, getting around five or ten niinntes after the soup is served. So In his den that Wednesday evening ho dumped the contents of a larjje box on the floor and leisurely began sorting thorn, potting those things which were to be saved back Into the box and throwing the on the floor at the other Ride of his chair.

Ho thus disposed' of half a dozen things when he came upon a packet of letters which he had written to his wife during his European trip, and which lie hnd oslced her to save for him, as ho meant some tlmo to write a book from them. Would ho ever write that book? Wna it worth while to keep that bundle of letters? Let's see. Ho rend No. 1. It took him back to tho days n.nd scenes of that trip.

He No, It awoke memories not referred to in tho written words. Ho rend No. 3. No. 4, No.
