The Daughters of the American Revolution bave decided that the grave of the man who rang the Liberty bell when it announced to the world the signing of the Declaration of Independence, shall no longer remain without a fitting monument Philadelphia chapter, at its meeting in the church house, decided to erect such a monument over the obscure grave of William Hurry, who tugged at the rope on July 8, when the bell above proclaimed liberty throughout the land. For many years no one knew where" the ringer of the bell bad been burled. About a year ago the sexton of Pine Street Presbyterian church, in poking about among the old graves in the church yard, found a dilapidated stone, half buried and coreref with moss.

He soon uncovered the inscription, and found that be had discovered tha long-sought-for grave of William The grave has been cared for sine that time, but the old stone is slowly crumbling away. Tbe ladis of Philadelphia chapter, D. A. St, took the matter In hand.

KAISER'S COUKT REPRESENTED BY HATZFELDT-W1LDENBUBG. Will Act As Secretary Of tbe Embassy Has American Blood In Veins and Will Find Work Agreeable.

Washington, May 4. Official and social circles in the national capital are considerably interested in the appointment of Baron Hennan von Hatzfield-Wildenburg to succeed Baron von dem Bussche-Haddenhausen as first secretary of the German embassy here. Baron Hatzfleld will doubtless find the Washington post agreeable as he has a strong strain of American Blood in his veins, his mother having been a Miss Helen Moulton, of Albany, N. Y. The nobility of Europe, though it has furnished stories of love, romance and intrigue stranger than are to he found in the pages of fiction, seldom has furnished a stranger life romance than that in which the parents of Baron Hatzfeldt figured as principals.

Divorced for state reasons, remarried for love, and in her old age the object of a unique sacrifice, the mother of the new secretary of the German embassy experienced at once more suffering and more honor than falls to the lot of most American wives oi titled husbands. Baron Hatzfeldt is the only son of the late Count Paul Hatzfeldt, who was for many years German Ambassador in England. His mother was Helen Moulton, daughter of Colonel Moulton, of Albany, kY. Her mother Mrs. Moulton, was the daughter of an old French dancing-master, who in the early part of the nineteenth century was professor of the terpsichorean art to the fashionable of New York.

His name was Metz and his daughter's Christian name Cesarine. She was celebrated in New York for her beauty and fascination. When the daughter, Helen, was about ten years old the family went to Paris and there made its home. Charles Moulton, the father, became associated with Baron Haussmann who built the boulevards and transfigured Paris, and was swept "high on the tide of sudden wealth. The family were thrown Into the most exalted society of the empire.

The son married a Boston girl, Miss Lillie Green-ough, who enhanced the distinction of the family with her vocal and other accomplishments. Charles Moulton: her husband, was killed in a railroad accident at Philadelphia some years ago, and she afterward married Baron von Hageman, the Danish minister at Washington. Miss Helen Moulton meanwhile wag earning social triumphs of her own At court she first met Count Hats feldt, secretary to Prince Otto von Bismark, then the Prussian Ambassador in Paris. Count Hatsfeldt was nearly 20 years Miss Moul ton's senior, but he was under forty and age had dealt lightly with him. He was th son of that Countess Sophie von Hatsfeldt, who was the friend and patroness of Ferdinand Lassalle, the Jewish philosopher and social democrat Miss.

Moulton returned the affection which Count Hatsfeldt made known to her, and they were married with evejy circumstance of grandeur. As the representative of Germany at Madrid, Constantinople and other cap-itals Count Hatsfeldt acquitted himself brilliantly and his rise in the diplomatic service was rapid. But a change was soon to come. Bismark desired his protege, Hatzfeldt, to become foreign secretary and remain in Berlin. In this position Hatzfeldt would be a personage of consequence at court, and It was necessary that he should' be acceptable to royalty.

It was necessary also that his wife should oe acceptable. But Countess Hatzfeldt's mother bad been an actress in and the views of the Empress Augusta regarding such matters prohibltedlber being 'received at court Bismark told Count Hatzfeldt that the situation demanded that be should divorce the countess The countess' berself urged ber bus band to comply with Bismark'a demands; and they were divorced, bat CONDEMN THE TWILIGHT TWINK-LERS "WEST END" CAMPAIGN. Would Hare the Name "Wyandotte" Restored No Excuse for the Insult Offered by the Mis-- souri Paper The Globe has received the following communications from people who are indignant over the Twilight Twinkler's recent insults to Kansas City, Kansas: Editor The Globe: Let us not commit ourselves to another short-sighted policy. The name of Kansas City we have unworthily borne for some twenty years; unworthily, because it belonged to another city in the first place, arid was a base Imitation in the beginning, forced upon the people by a few timeserving persons who fancied it would be "good business" to have our name the same as the city in Missouri. Not because, but despite the name, wc have prospered and will continue to do so if our business men keep their heads and not be induced once more to make a disastrous change at a critical moment.

Let us return to the original name of Wyandotte, so christened by the brave and hopeful pioneers who first laid out "Wyandotte City" in the hope and belief, justified long after they are gone to join the "illimitable caravan," and is on the eve of becoming great. Let us not spit and scratch and sputter and waste our energy in a noisy defiance of a press that knows a good thing and with characteristic enterprise seeks to acquire it, but with the dignity and self-respect of an independent municipality possess our own city and change our own name to one which cannot be forged on everything but tax rolls. It is a forgery to call us merely Kansas City, as it is misleading to the last degree to the world beyond our county line." This we have realized late, tout not too late for remedy. The name of Wyandotte is distinctive and unique; there are two municipalities only in the country known by that, name Wyandotte in distant Michigan and Wyandotte in Indian Territory, so. named by those Wyan-dottes who gave this city and county its name and first.

city. The Wyan-dotte3. those cultured, far-sighted men, Governor. William Walker; Joel Walker, one of the first and ablest business men. to start the building of Kansas City, Missouri, one of the original town company to lay out old Wyandotte.

There was Silas Armstrong, also an able business man and one of the town company; there was Matthew R. Walker, one of the earliest representatives In the territorial legislature, and one, if not the earliest judge acting in this territory; Judge Walker was, as is well known, the first organizer of masonry in this place. The Mudeaters, the Garretts and the Longs, and many others combined to found this cit Let not their efforts and their -names -be forgotten nor tlieir work be -obliterated, but let the old and honorable name of Wyandotte be ours still. It is-not lost nor forgotten, for only the other day, less than a the writer received a letter addressed- to Wyandotte, Kansas, and it was -not marked with a red hand and a cabalistic- pencil scratch showing it had been held up at the Missouri office and delayed by one or several days. In time, and not long, as the evolution of cities goes, this city will cover the whole of Wyandotte county; it is the custom at times to change the name of a county, in which a great city is situated to that of the city; let us be early with that and have Wyandotte City and county all one at the start.

Furthermore, there Is history to be considered. Do any of our citizens forget that the constitution of our great state was made here in Wyandotte, and is called the Wyandotte constitution 'by so great an authority as the Century Dictionary? Note on page 1072 of the Century Dictionary and Encyclopedia appears the following: "Wyandotte Constitution The con-stittuion under which Kansas was admitted to the Union adopted at Wyandotte (now a part of Kansas City, Kansas) in 1859." LILIAN WALKER HALE. To The Globe: I have noticed of late that a newspaper of our sister city has been designating us by the name of "West End." As loyal citizens of Kansas City, Kansas, we should resent such an Insult to our town. We are not the West End of Kansas City, as this paper would nave us known, but we are an Independent city, and have as much right to our Identity as, Kansas City, or any other city for WILES WILL INTRODUCE RESOLUTION LN THE COUNCIL. Would Hare Steps Taken to Have the Legislature Take the Matter in Hand Change of Post Office Name.

"I think the time is opportune to have the name of Kansas City, Kansas, changed. It is the only course we can pursue to preserve and maintain our individuality and advertise our greatness to the world. I shall introduce in the council a resolution, declaring it to be the sense of that "body that the name be changed and I shall advocate that the council take the initiatory steps toward having the state legislature take the matter up. Since we have been dubbed the 'West I think, there can be no better time than now to begin this move, which is inevitable." The speaker was Councilman J. P.

Wiles of the Fifth ward, one of the men who voted for the resolution condemning the "Twilight Twinkler" because of its attitude toward this city and who is indignant and ready to battle for the interests of Kansas City, Kansas. Mr. Wiles says he is very much averse to precipitating the condition of turmoil that will result from the opposition of corporations friendly to Kansas City, Missouri, as a result of the name changing proposition, but that he is for City, Kansas, and interests first of all, aod that he does not care what the corporations say or do, he is in favor of changing the name. A business man who is very much. Interested 'in the future of the city, is of the opinion that the most sensible move would be to petitibn Uncle Sam to first change the name of the post-office and then present the petition, which would he certain to bear the majority endorsement, to Governor Hoch, with the request that he call a special session of the legislature, to acton the matter.

This business man's contention is that the governor could hardly ignore an overwhelmingly large petition, from the most populous and Important city in the state, and that he would be duty bound to give the matter serious consideration.

Interment in Woodlawn ceineteryi Don't AFTER THE OF KANSAS CITY, VITAL QUESTION. DUTY, NO MATTER Editor The Globe: There is an indignation meeting at our home every time there is an allusion made in the Star and other papers to the "West End," referring to Kansas City, Kansas. Why anyone should hit upon so meaningless and misleading a name is beyond comprehension, unless it is simply to make a distinction between our city and the "North End." Better, toy far, call it the "Tail End" since the Bible says that "the last shall be first," which, beyond a doubt, will be true of' our city in the course of time. Why should the beautiful and appropriate name of Wyandotte have been changed in the first place? Does it not smack of egotism and jealousy when our sister city would rob us of our identity by alluding to our prosperous city the "West End?" Where are the good old pioneers of Wyandotte, that they do uot rise with one accord and strongly protest against this outrage of making our growing city a freak for the would-be whale on the other side?
