Object—Lesson in Patriotism.
The silent old Liberty Bell in its
journey to Chicago has served a. most
useful purpose as an object-lesson in
patriotism to the'children. By way Of
preparation - the school children in
every town through which it was to
pass were taught-the story of thexbell.
The day of its arrival was a school holi-
day, and the children marched in pro-
cession, carrying flags and singing
patriotic songs, to the scene of the day’s
ceremonies, to hear speeches calcu-
lated to cultivate patriotic sentiments.
The old bell itself with its inscription
suggestive of its mission was a silent
ubt most eloquent teacher of reverence
for American" institutions, and it can
be. safely assumed that never in its
whole career has it served a more
useful purpose than in the inspirations
it has awakened in the minds of the
‘American school children that have
greeted its triumphal journey to Chi-
cago. '
Our Experience.
We received a communication from
the executive offices of the Southern
New England Telephone company yes-
terday,'stating that the company had
made extensive improvements in their
trunk line services between exchanges
in the state, and enclosing a compli-
mentary stamp, requesting a trial of‘
the service. Having occasion to call
Stamford on important business to-day
we approached the ’phone with fear
and trembling and stated our desire to
talk with Stamford. The response from
Stamford was received and our wants
made known by the Norwalk Ofiice.
After waiting some time the Stamford
operator inquired of this end of the
line if an answer had been received.
We heard a negative answer from the
local ofiice, but there we died. Our con-
nection was cut off and no word impart-
ed to us of a failure to communicate with
the parties desired. Nerving ourselves
we called up the Central office and
asked if we had been cut off. We re-
ceived a quick reply stating, that we
had. Deigning to question the cause
of our not receiving a reply we were
informed that the parties called for
had gone away. Knowing that an er-
ror had been made in stating thata
daily newspaper Office was closed we
asked for another call, but were shut
011' with the information that we mus
wait.
In view of the "outcome of our first
trial over the “extensive improve-
ments” of the telephone company we
shall not try again. but will retain the
stamp as amemento of those “exten-
sive improvements”.
Victory for Monastic Clergymen.
PHILADELPHIA, May 5.—Nearly the en-
tire afternoon session of the Episcopal
convention was taken up in the discussion
upon the proposed amendments to the
constitution refusing a seat in the con-
vention to any clergyman who belongs to
any of the monastic orders, and providing
that such priests shall not be competent to
serve as deputies. After a long debate all
the amendments were rejected.

Will Not Go to Kansas for Testimony.

Kansas, will go to that state for the pur-
pose of taking testimony.
Land Slide in Bordentown.
BORDENTOWN, N. J ., May 5.—The heavy

at it Happened.
State of New York. 1 as
County of Washington. 5 ‘
Lucien Rodd of Whitehall, N. Y.,
being by me duly sworn, deposes and
says that some years ago he suffered
very greatly with insomnia, nervous
prostration and his body was covered
with sores, causing him'great pain and
annoyance. That his head was so cov-
ered with sores that he was hardly able
to comb or even brush _his hair, so
great was the pain it occaSioned. .
That he cOnsulted the local phys1-
cians without successful result; that
he took quantities Of medicine_w1th no
benefit whatever ; that physicians told
him his disease was incurable. andhe
had come to the same concluSion him-
self and hadZmade up his mind to go
to a hospital and await death.
That just about this time he learned
about Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, which he began to use.
That this remedy entirely relieved and
cured him, healed and dried up his
sores, enabled him to sleep soundly
' and comfort-ably, and restored him to
his ordinary vigor {and vitality, in
short. made a sound and well man of
him so that he was fully able to work
at his occupation, and has done so
since that time.
That he attributes his recovery to Dr.
Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve rem-
ed y, as it restored him when everybody

and everything else had failed and _he
had been given over to go to the hospital
and die.
Mr. Rodd makes this statement vol-
untarily and cheerfully out of sincere
gratitude for what the remedy has
wrought for him.

Subscribed and sworn before me this
15th day of January, A. D., 1893. and
I certify the affiant to be a credible
and reliable person whose statements
may be accepted with confidence and
implicitly relied upon, haying known
him personally for the last twenty-five
years. and that I have _nO interest. di-

_J taken and executed.
Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and
nerve remedy is purely vegetable and
is sold by druggists for $1.00. As is
proven by the wonderful cure of Mr.
Rodd, it is the very best spring medi-
cine possible to take for the blood,
nerves, liver, kidneys, etc. It is the
discovery and prescription of Dr.
Greene, of 35 W. 14th street, New York,
the most successful specialist in curing
nervous and chronic diseases. The
doctor can be consulted free, person-
ally or by letter.
An American’s Smokeless Powder. .
W’ASHINGTONJJay 5.-—Samples of smoke-
less powder furnished ' by Mr. Howard
Leonard, of Virginia, have been tested at
the Sandy Hook proving grounds, and
have given unusual satisfactory results.
When used in a 3.2 inch field gun a charge
of one pound nine ouncs gave a. velocity of
1,910 feet a second. The result of the tests
leads the departmentto believe this pow-
' der will be satisfactOry for use in both
the rifle and field guns.
Alabama’s Cotton Crop.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 5.—The full re-
port Of crop conditions and acreage in
Alabama up to May 1 shows an increase in
cotton acreage as compared with last year
of 6% per cent. Compared with other
years since is 33, it is the lowest of any ex-
cept 1892. The average acreage for ten
years has been 2,700,000 acres. With the
increase this year over last the amount in
cotton acreage will not be over 2,450,000
acres.

viding for Sunday opening. The com-
mittee,‘ quoting the rule adopted on the
subject, reports unanimously against the
adoption of the resolution, concluding as
follows: ,
“It will be seen, therefore, that the stand-
ing rule provides that the exposition and
the gates thereof shall be closed on Sun-
day during the time the exposition is to
run, so that the question may be Consid-
ered as settled unless the commission may
hereafter lawfully make an order modify-
ing the same.”
The Pennsylvania State building, one of
the great attractions in the northern end
of the exposition grounds, was thrown
open to the public yesterday. Since the
Liberty Bell was put in place in the re-
tunda only that large room has been Open
to visitors. The superintendent desired to
put on the finishing touches in the other
rooms, and clean up after the crowd that
invaded the building on Monday. For
:hat reason the doors were closed until
yesterday. The Philadelphia policemen
are on duty night and day, guarding the
independence Bell and answering a. thou-
sand questions put by the multitude of
sightseers that would consider their expo-
sition excursion a failure if they had not
looked upon the national relic.
Apart from the crushing and fainting in
the crowd at the opening ceremonies the
first exCiting incident and the first fire. at
ORIENTALS ON THE MIDWAY PLAISANCE.
the exposition occurred yesterday after-
noon. The blaze was an insignificant one
in point of damage done, but it was
sufficient to afford a feivithousand people
the Opportunity which may never come
again of witnessing the exposition’s fire
extinguishing system in operation. When
the alarm of fire was given the hose reels
and engines dashed out of the stations to-
wards the Casino, from which volumes of
smoke were seen to issue and. roll towards
the lake. The fire tugs lying in the ad-
joining lagoons at once steamed at full
speed to the scene of the smoke, and the
crew got ready to throw water from the
lake and lagoon into the place. All the
available guards were summoned to the
Casino and acted in the capacity of police
as well as firemen for a brief time. The
fire started in a pile of shavings, but was
extinguished before the firemen arrived.
The damage was trifling, but the fire
showed that the fire fighting forces of the
fair are well organized and trained for
their work.
Among the scenes that first attract the
attention Of all visitors are the foreign
streets reproduced in Midway Plaisance
and the little pleasure boats that go flit-
ting through the lagoons. On the former
people of all nationalities jostle each other
as they pass along. while the bridges cross-
ing the lagoons seem to have already be-
come favorite resorts for lovers.
