For many years all trace had been lost of the bell ringer who obeyed the injunction lettered on the State House bell, Philadelphia, by ringing it vigorously and "Proclaiming liberty throughout the land and to the Inhabitants thereof." It was known to a few historians, in a vague way, that his name was William Hur- Reputed Portrait of William Hurry, From a Rare Old Print.

ry, and that he was a inau well advanced in years on that Immortal day whep serving in the humble capacity of bell ringer he made bis place In bliitory. The familiar poem, so well knowu to all Americans. "The Llbrty Dcllmau," with lt3 thrilling line, "Ring, grandfather, ring," had surrounded Hurry 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 old Pine Street Presbyterian Church, Fourth and Pine streets, Philadelphia, was discovered to be the lost resting place of the famous revolutionary character. Credit for this important disclosure goes to Jacob Low, sexton of the church.

Some time ago he begsn compiling a census of the denlsens of the ancient burying place. In the process numerous facts of great historical 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 obliterating hand had effaced many of the inscriptions and some of the stones, tumbling from their pedestals, had burled themselves In the sod, so that it required arduous work to mount them again. Many famous revolutionary heroes were found In the old grave yard.

Including the first naval officer of be United States. Nathan Boys. He was appointed before this country had a navy and he fought on land for liberty before he took up naval duty. Boys was a trustee of Old Pine Street Church. Among other noted patriots whose bones rest hers are: Colonel Thomas Craig, Captain Isaac Craig, hero of Yorktown: Captain Alexander Brown, Colonel Robert Knox.

Lieutenant William Henry, Captain James Ross, Captain John Marshall, Lieutenant Thomas McCullough, Captain Will-lam McMullln, Lieutenant John Woodside, Lieutenant Colonel Paul Cox. General John Steele, Captain William Llnnard and Dr. William Shlppen. Jr. All of these men were members ot the church.

The tombstone of Mrs. Mary Nelson, who saved, during the Re-volution, quantity of gunpowder from being destroyed st one ot the Delaware forts, was found to be still iu good condition. Side by side with the friends of freedom were found Its foes, including Oenersl Tarleton. of execrated memory, the British tyrant whose cruelties In the South caused endless misery. But the feature of the Investigation that brought most delight to the devottd searcher was the finding of Hurry's gTave.

Made His First Record in Philippine Islands Has Many Struggles With His Own Name. i Tie United Stetes marines stationed at tbo barracks in avenue are very proud of the Sherlock Holmes they have "In their midst." He is the well liked sergeant major, J. Schudnopgies. This official, standing in a sort of fatherly relation to the men under him, comes to feel toward them like a pater familias. This is one reason, perhaps, of tho devotion of the sergeant major to tha Interests of the men.

There is a tr.iditlon in the yard that Schuduaggies va3 once a detective, whil many Insist that at some stage of his career he must have been a post office inspector, for it Is in regard to the mall of the marines that the sergeant major's detective qualities are. most oftim shown. The latest exhibition of his cleverness was shown a few days ago, when a letter arrived at the barracks addressed simply: "Marine Barracks, Brooklyn." The sergeant major on opening it saw it began, with "Dear Eddie." The letter was made up of a recital of unimportant family history and an ordinary supervisor of the mail? would probably have tossed It into the waata basket, but the sergeant major has been in the service long enough to know that It is just these family details that are most interesting to the soldier, sailor or marine. Consequently, he got down a roster of tho hundreds of men at the barracks and began to sn over the names. Ho fle-ncA out that the letter must have come from the relattvo of a man newly enlisted, for an older man In the service would have had his relatives drilled in the way to address his envelopes.

He found there wers about three score men in the barracks who might be ca'led "Eddie." So expert has he become that he felt it would be a reflection on his previous successes if he did not pick the right man out at the first trial. Consequently, after scanning the list half a dozen times, he sent a messenger after the possible Eddie. This man came over to headquarters and identified the letter at once as his. He spread the news about the barracks and now all the new men are happy, as they know their mail will be safe. Sergeant-Major Schudnaggies ia a scholarly man, as well as a good marine, and is considered one of the best read men among the enlisted men of the entire corps.

He got his first experience with mail out in tho Philippines, while statioued at Cavite, at the port of Manila. There the mail for 1,400 men used to pass through his handu. These men were scattered throughout the Island3 and yet Schudnaggies, with his tenacious memory, was able to remember the location of every man, no matter how often he was changed. It was baid that the marines got their letters more promptly than any other men In Uncle Sam's service. One of the worst annoyances they had in the Philippines came from the carelessuess of the postal clerks In the United States.

Hundreds of letters addressed meaning Porto Rico, would be sent to Cavite. Such carelessness continues to crop out now. Letters come to the barracks addressed "Marine Barracks, City," and postmarked Portsmouth, N. Boston, or other cities, where there are navy yards. This is a tribute to the fame of the Brooklyn barracks, but causeR confusion and delay.

The promptness of the delivery of marine letters is in marked contrast to the slovenly way the biggest post otfico handle mail. The other day a letter came to New York for a man who has a mall box In the general post office. Manhattan. His name was correctly written In typewriter on the envelope, but the number of the box was wrong. Yet that letter was sent all the way hack to the sender In California, indorsed, "No such box holder." A simple alphabetical list of the box hoiders would have made such a blunder Some times the errors are "all right," Is such a "bull" may be permitted.

The other day an envelope containing a five-dollar bill and addressed to Schudnasgies, "care of the Navy Yard, League Island, came straight through to the Brooklyn headquarters without a stop ou the way. Amusing applications for positions In the Marine Corps service are often received at the barracks, and show in many cases the low opinion some perions entertain of the requirements necessary for membership In the Marine Coros. Tho following, received the other day, i9 typical, the Bpclilng being reproduced as in me ens mi. Most noble air May your prosperity be eternal. 1 most humbly and respectfully beg to bring to your honor kind, notice that I am very anxious to, enlist Into the marines corps as also, my father enproofes of me doing so.

so I would like very much to know. If a young man of twenty two yrs, can enlist Into the marine corps, and also can I enlist for at least five years as that is my most des-eter, 1 hold a respooncable rotation in one of the factories here but still It I can. enlist Into the marine corps Id, rather do so. under all circumstances, as I think I would rervle my country, faithfully I do not drink, Hmoke nor also let me know please. If I should bring refrennce and from who hoping you will let me, know as soon as you possibly can as I shall start for the city this Thursday coming.

I remain youre Truly In former days when the standard of mental equipment was not so high as at preaent, such an applicant might have stood a chance of being admitted to the service, but now he is utterly out of the question. Candidates for admission to any branch of the eervlco nowadays must have an education that would make such mistakes as those la the letter quoted impossible. The Bcrgeant major sat at his desk yesterday when a letter addressed to him was laid In front of him. He glanced at It and then sighed wearily. They say." he remarked "that there are eighteen ways ot spelling the name of Shnkspeare, I can discount that many times.

I counted up to thirty-two different ways my name was spelled up to three years ago, and then I quit for fear I would go to an asylum. Look at the wide difference in these spellings, for example, and ho threw out two letters from his desk. One was rend "tvhootenacht" and tho other "Shutte-nlgg." Outside of official and family lotters I never get two envelopes addressed the same. "As there Isn't a day that goes by that I don't see a new spelling of it. I should soon forget my own name If 1 didn't take great care to remember so you see It here pasted on my desk where I can't fall to look upon It every hour of the day." Under Hie name the sergeant niejor, who Is a great lover of Hhitkanenre, had writ ten the line from "flotneo and Juliet:" "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." There Is a tradition In tha barracks that wh'-n a successor of Sergeant Major Hihud-nagglrs In the mall department had failed to enunl his record In deelnherlng names and had been taken to tank by his superiors he retorted: "Why shouldn't he be the best at It, when he him his own name to practice on every day?"

SOME OF THE OLD RESIDENTS. The Dwight School a Famous Landmark Well Xnown Old Homes to Be Sacrificed. Livingston street, which la about to undergo a transformation from lethargy to energy and from the quaint and curious in frame architecture to the opulent and prosperous in business structures, has a history of its own to the old Brooklynlte.

Citizens who have lived a generation or more here will recall the former glories of the thoroughfare, when it was one of the best residence streets In down-town Brooklyn, before business had pushed past the City Hall and when Fulton Ferry was the great distributing point and horse car center of the town. The street was named for Philip LIt-lngston, a noted figure in Brooklyn's early history, whose home wag on the Heights before and after George Washington had hurried his scattered army from the great repulse on Long Island. The old records show that the house In which Philip Livingston lived stood on the east side of Hicka street, 400 ft south of Joralemon street. Livingston was a patriot, and when the British occupied Brooklyn after General Washington's hasty but orderly departure, they turned the old mansion into a naval hospital. Mr.

Livingston was a distiller, and a wealthy man in his time. After his death the house standing on the line of unopened Hicks street, was conveyed to Teunls Joralemon. It was taken down when Hicks street was cut through. Livingston street and Sidney place have seen more than a century of official existence, having been laid out in 1801 when the Livingston tract was sold. In the early days, however, the streets bore no names, being roads, not over straignt and without pavement of any kind.

With the advance of time came improvement In conditions, and the growing Brooklyn of forty years later was but little like the cluster of houses that capped the hill and fringed the water front north and south of Fulton ferry. The south side of Livingston street, at Its beginning, contains a three story brick house, once the well known "Dwight's School." Mr. Dwight, starting bis school in 1845, was assisted by the Rev. D. A.

Hol-brook, later of the Sing Sing Military Academy. His school became the largest la the city, applicants being unable at times to obtain It is said that Mr. Dwight Is the only pedagogue of the time who made a fortune by school teaching. Students from all over the country attended the school and were fitted for business or professional lite. Out of the multitude, the few names that might be recalled are Marvin, Wallace, Morris brothera, Thomas, Howard, Flsk, Smith, Chesbrough, Quereaud, Sheppard, Rack, Rowland, Clark, Ssnford, Moore, Holt, Hazlett brothers, Masoly, Miller, Hannahs, Cortelyou, etc.

In 18sS the charge of the school passed to W. F. Cleveland, brother of ex-President Cleveland, who was succeeded by the Rev. I. S.

Davison. Mr. Dwight then started another school on Broadway, New York, and subsequently removed to Clinton, N. Y. Later In 1860 Livingston street was a favorite street of residences.

One day while they are Journeying horseback to a neighboring town with sacks of silver to pay off the men they arc held up by a highwayman. Jack holds out his hands for the robber to handcuff him. But Margaret had the foresight to bring her pistol along.

She reached into her shirtwaist, leveled It at the bandit and pulled the trigger. The latter-day Dick Turpln fell to the ground, blinded for life. Margaret felt so sorry for him that she gave the $1,600 reward for his capture to founding of a home for the blind. The blind bandit became her friend for life. Jack was preparing to propose next day, when he overheard Margaret discussing the law which permlted ignorant loafers to vote and denied the same right to intelligent women.

Jack was a Southerner and to him women were too sacred to mix in politics. He wrote to Margaret to that effect and things went wrong for a while. Jack's conversion is an Interesting feature of the book, because it embraces an elaborate brief on the subject of women's rights and privileges, presented to the United States Senate, in the presence of the President, by Margaret. The Romance of an Indian Princess. There Is none of the problem feature In the second of these real life romances.

This story deals exclusively with the primitive Impulses of love and race hatred. The Princess Chinquilla is a full-blooded Cheyenne, daughter of the great chieftain, the late Lone Star, who journeyed to Washington and made a notable address in favor of his people from the steps of the Capitol. Princess Chlnquelia is wealthy by Inheritance and by her own industry. She was educated at Carlisle and, in addition to her own and other Indian languages, speaks English, Qerman, French and Italian, The histrionic instinct Is strong within her and she early aspired to and succeeded on the stage as a vaudeville artist. She played in the best theaters of the East, but those who have delighted In her art will miss her for a long period, for the Princess is now an exile from the United States, driven away by the fear that her people will enact bloody vengeance for her marriage to a white man.

Her husband is Ernest Barbour, a former manager of the Grand Opera House, in Butte, Mont. Barbour is a son of the Rev. H. H. Barbour and the grandson of the late Judge Barbour, coming from an old and respected family of Hartford, Conn.

Tho pair met in connection with their theatrical work and the attachment was Instantaneous. They had been engaged about three months when the Indians of Chin-quilla's tribe learned of the prospective match and took prompt measures to prevent it. Chinquilla played eight weeks through Montana during the past spring and so de termined were her tribesmen to prevent the marria-e that some followed her around en tour, while others watched Barbour in Butte. For a time the Princess almost wavered before the combined pleadings and threats of her people. She is an ardent Indian, In love with her tribe and Its traditions, and It cut her to the heart to be deemed a traitor.

She half promised to give Barbour up, and canceled those of her engagements tnat would nave brought her in that part of the country where he was. She, however, continued to write to her lover, and he being acquainted with her movements, resolved to win the obdurate Princess by a sudden stroke. Going to Ogden, Utah, several weeks ago, ho Becured a marriage license, and armed with this, took a carriage and met his sweetheart at the station. When the Princess stepped off tho train with her guardian, Mr. Newell, she was met by Mr.

Barbour, who quickly rushed the astonished Princess and her companion to the carriage, thence to a minister's and the pair were married by tho Rev. John V. Beuth. a Mormon elder. Their felicity was short, for fear of the outwitted Indiana made It impossible for them to stay together.

Mr. Barbour returned to Butte. and his bride con-tinned to Reno, Nev. When news of the action of the Princess reached the tribe, a meeting was held and the lands, cattle and other pospessions of Chinquilla were confiscated and she nas disowned and Barbour sentenced to death. So great was his peril that he fled 'rora Butte, rejoined his bride In San FrancTaco, and on June 8 the pair sailed for Honolulu.

Chinquilla Is happy with her husband, but mourns deeply the loss of her people's love. Just before she left she thus expressed her feelings, and much of the natural eloquence of the redskin shows In her impassioned words: "I love my husband, and he and his people have been good to me. but I yearn for my own people, the braves snd squaws of my far off Cheyenne tribe. All my life I have strlved to show that the despised redskin only lacked opportunity to become the equal Jnmes Graham Phelps Stokes, of his white t-ther.

They differ radically on ethical points, but they have in common one great impulse they love. This passion rises supreme over all considerations, they wed and form an ideal partnership, not only of hearts, but of material interests, wife and husband establishing a firm for the practice of law. Then in her rejoicing, the wife writes a novel which to a great extent is the story of her romance cf herself and husband, and the honk both an artistic and financial suc That is one story, here is the other: An Indian Princess, daughter of a great chieftain, learns to love a pale-face, but the laws of her people forbid that she shall wed out of her race. their interdiction, she weds him by stealth.

The indignation of her people knows no bounds. They prompt ly confiscate her extensive possessions, and in their fury, make threats of a character so terrifying that she and her husband are forced to flee the United States for far off Honolulu. Either of these stories was excellent ma torial. The first might have been the pro duct or a Mrs. Humphry Ward's fertile brain.

The season of matured American fruits may be considered as commencing in De-ctmber. In that month, strawberries have ripened in Florida, and the growers in state then commence sending them to the markets of the great consuming centers.

The long growing climate of Florida makes pcEsible a season there of six months' duration. Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina follow with their strawberry products. In March and April, which brings fje sr.pply up to Virginia, or semi-northern production of the fruit. From there ou, Maryland. Delaware, New Jersey, Long Island, the New York mainland and the New England states prolong the supply in their order, to August, making the long annual strawberry season of nine months duration.

The yield of this year in all the territory described, "jas been the largest ever produced, but adverse weather conditions and fauha of transportation companies, have caused a large proportion of the fruit to cc-me upon the market in unsatisfactory or der, which has greatly reduced the returns to the producers. The best portion of supply has been that from the superior soil of Long Island and the carefully cultivated lends of the Kosel near Hempstead. Ita quality may be judged from the fact that 10 to 20 cents per quart have been readily paid for it. The average wholesale price of the other portion of this year's crop was 6 to 10 cents per quart. Blackberries followed strawberries more closely than usual, this year, They are of excellent quality and reasonable in value, very fine lots being retailed at 12 cents per quart.

Receipts, thus far, have been from the more Sout'aern states. Lawtons and others of the Northern late yield, are promising and will prolong supply for a couple of months to come. The more than ordinarily cool weather of the present season has been beneficial to the market condition of the delicate raspberries, w'jlch have arrived in drier state than known for years and have realized 5 to 10 cents per pint for the growers.

The unusual feature of the occasion la that Mr. Patterson his never held any public office, Is not a politician, nor has he ever performed any of those feats for which Americans are usually given special honor. chief recommendation to his fellow townsmen Is that, as a simple, private citizen, he baa done more than any other man to bring prosperity to the community and make Its name known in every quarter of the world.

The man whom Daytoa la planning, to honor Is one of the most remarkabTe characters of the country. A true "captain of Industry," he Is the originator of the new policy of "welfare work," which has already made its Influence felt In the betterment of working conditions In factories and stores everywhere. By many social economists, welfare work la thought to be a long step toward complete harmony between capital and labor. This policy of making work safe, pleasant and healthful, Mr. Patterson has carried out In the model factory of the National Cash Register Company, of which be is president.

The welfare work carried on at Dayton has proved so successful that hundreds of students of social conditions, statesmen and manufacturers the world over have Investigated it. Last summer, at the invitation of Mr. Patterson, World's Fair commissioners from twenty-nine of the leading nations of the world were his guests at Dayton. The methods employed at the N. R.

plant have been Introduced In various forms In several hundred factories In this country, as well as In Europe, Asia and Australia. Through this policy of welfare work for employes Mr. Pattersoa has secured for Pay-ton a most desirable class of worklngmen.

Before the residence of Mr. Pstterson a great platform is to be constructed for the formal "welcome home." Here the speeches of greeting will be made, and the Mayor of Dayton will present Mr. Patterson with a beautiful loving cup, as a testimonial of the regard in which he Is held by his townsmen. Mr. Patterson left Dsyton June 29, 1904, Intending to spend a few months Id Europe to regain his health, which had been Impaired by overwork.

When Low came upon It, the grave and headstone were sunk almost out of sight. Only two letters. Tt" and of the name Hurry were visible.

Low's curiosity was aroused, as he remembered the name of the man who proclaimed liberty, and for whose grave earnest search had been made, and raising the stone with careful precautions against breaking It, be cleared It of the moss and mol and was overjoyed to find that It marked the grave of the Liberty Bellman. An examination of the stone gives some Information as to Hurry, ft shows that at the time he rang the bell he was man ot bt years. He was born October 22, 1721. Hurry's activity In the cause of freedom did not stop with the ringing ot the old bell, now next to the original drafts nf the Declaration of Independence, and the Conslltu-tlon of the I'nlted 8'atea. the U'nst prized relic connected with the birth of the nation.

He volunteered for service In the Continental Army, and served with distinction In a number of battles. Ills signature on a call for volunteers Is still In possession of the old church. It Is a somewhat pathetic circumstance that Hurry did not live to see the complete triumph ef the colonists over Great Britain..
