advent was heralded l>y tho booming
of cannons, tho ruling of bells, the
blowing of whistles and an o\a ion
from loyal citizens, which was a titling
climax to its grand southern journey,
which was a series of patriotic demon
•‘rations.
The patriotism of a people was ex
in «... rmpUm............ ...
Liberty bell and it was a reception
thnt sprang from tho hearts of south
erners, the hearts of Georgians and
tho hearts oi Atlantians. Every ye ,
no matter how discordant, every lift
ing of tho hat and every bit of ap
plauso was intended as a tribute to
the honored and revered relic.
The innate spirit of patriotism and
freedom was abroad in the land
in magnified quantity, Tho pres
onco of a bell that once inspired n
nation, brought about an inspiration
for the peojde of tho present aud made
the spirit of tho occasion one which
was worthy of the welcome that the
great bell deserved. Every bell in the
city rang out in glad unison, and
whistle after whistle sprang into ac
tivity and made the very welkin sound
and resound with the viiried and me
lodious noises that heralded the in
coming of tho bell.
That it is revered and loved by all
the people of this land has been de
monstrated by its triumphant tour
from Philadelphia to Atlanta. It came
through as a conquering hero. Every
where, at every little station, it was
received with enthusiasm never given
to king or conqnrer.
When the bell reached Atlanta it
was carried to the Air-Lino shops and
was retained in the possession of the
railroad until Wednesday morning.
Although tho great demonstration in
honor of tho bell’s arrival did not oc
cur until Wednesday the special train
bearing the bell and its distinguished
escort was grandly received. When
the train reached the city limits it
was met by the mayor and council,the
exposition directors, many prominent
citizens and the Atlanta Artillery. A
salute of thirteen guns was fired.
Children Kissed tho Bell.
The gates at the union depot did but
little to keep the crowds out. They
found entrances at various places aud
the famous old bell was quickly sur
rounded. Several children, held up
by their parents, kissed the revered
bell and happily patted its great brazen
sides, hardly knowing what they were
doiug or why, but feeling, as all pres
ent did, that electric thrill of self
satisTaction and national pride.
Guarded by (Special Men.
The old bell was on a platform car
which Lad been especially built for it.
The bell stood in tho center while at
each corner of the ear stood its guard,
Officers Robert Moffitt, James A.
Robinson, Harry Ileteroth and Francis
Westphal. These men aie reserve po
licemen of Philadelphia, and they will
remain with the bell until it returns to
the Quaker City.
The four great guards were most
lenient and many slipped a flower here
and a ribbon there. Tho guardians
of the bell have come to feel an in
tense personal interest in the bell out
side of that general feeling of owner
ship and they were immensely pleased
at the greeting that had been given.
Wednesday was a red letter day in
the history of the exposition. The old
bell of ’76, the now silent messenger
of liberty and peace, was placed in the
Pennsylvania building with fitting ex
ercises.
Early Wednesday morning the car
was brought into the city and stopped
at the l’ryor street crossing, where it
was delivered by the road to the joint
committee from the exposition and the
city council. It was unloaded and
placed on a carriage that transported
it to its temporary resting place in the
Pennsylvania building.
At 10 o’clock the parade moved for
ward up Wall Btreet, into Peachtree
aud then out to the grounds. As the
procession passed the corner of Wall
aud Peachtrer it was saluted by Mayor
King and Mayor Warwick, of Phila
delphia. Then the carriages fell into
line and brought up the parade.
SJbool children by the thousands
flocAed through its gates and welcom
ed tho bell. Citizens saluted it, and
distinguished state officials greeted
the symbol with cheers. Governors
did the bell honor and soldiers patted
it lovingly and shed a mauly tear on
its copper sides.
Everywhere on the route the wildest
enthnsiasm was manifested and the
Pennsylvanians who escort the bell
say that never, on any of its other
trips, haB it been given such a recep
tion. Since the minute the bell cross
ed the Georgia line the enthnsiasm
has been unbounded. The demon
strations at many of the places where
the bell stopped were unique and the
official escort is moro than pleased
. h itli the trip.
From the moment that the boll ap
paared at Iho union depot thousands
pressed close to tho wagon on which it
touch ns* placed, the sacred oh coring and trying to
relic. When the bell
reached the exposition grounds the
police had to foroo a passage for it
through the assembled thousands. Tbo
procession to tho grounds was a re
markable ouo in many respect*. The
line was moved promptly and no de
lay* were encountered. Tho bell will
remain m tho Pennsylvania building
at the «exposition until tho fair closes
on the 31st of December.
The exercises at the grounds were
opened with prayer. At tho conclu
aiou of which came tho singing
t olumbiu, by tho army of school
children, fully li,000 strong.
They were masked together behind
the speakers on the raised platform,
and were in charge of I rofessor B. G.
Davis. Master of Ceremonies Campbell

I thousand childish . joined . .
wo voices
in singing the great patriotic air. Oil
mors s band accompanied tho singers,
and tho rendition of tho soul-stirring
piece of music was inspiring to a de
groe. Tho sweet voices of the 2,000
enthusiastic children, just from their
studies, rang loud and clear across the
open plaza, stirring the soul of every
man and woman whose ears they
reached.
When the song was flushed Mayor
Jving welcomed Mayor Warwick, the
escort of tho bell and the bell. Mayor
Warwick responded to the welcome of
Mayor Ring in a glorious peroration,
After Mayor \\ ar wick s address the
children again contributed to the de
light.u exercises. Assisted by Gil

After tho music the children were
dismissed. They filed down past the
speakers and left the crowd, going to
all parts of the the expositiongrounds.
It was a happy group of 2,000, and
they were gladlv given room to pass.
Governor Atkinson was the next
speaker. His effort was a happy one,
especially his eloquent reference to
Cuba and Venezuela. This reference
was the signal for a grand demonstra
tion. “Bravo! Bravo !” shouted Mayor
Warwick waving his silk hat, and the
great audience cheered and cheered.
President Collier had the disadvan
tage of being the last on the program.
He followed all the speakers, but was
given a splendid hearing. His speech
was received with enthusiasm by the
audience and was frequently cheered.
When Mr. Collier finished Gilmore’s
band struck up “Dixie” amid the
cheers of the great gathering. When
the music was finished Master of Cere
monies Campbell dismissed the audi
ence, thanking them for their atten
tion aud interest.
Over in the plaza the Atlanta Artil
lery had two guns stationed, and as
the audioDce was dismissed the guns
commenced booming the salute to the
bell. Thirteen guns were fired as tho
great audience s’owly dispersed. The
bell had been received. It was Geor
gia’s for the time.

A Washington special says: Judge

In speaking of the president’s power
in army matter, the judge said:
“The president r of the United. States

function of tho executive, however, is
unaccompanied by harrowing cares of

Bradstreet’s Review of Business for
the Past Week.
Bradstreet’s business review issued
October 12th, says : “Cooler weather
has stimulated a seasonable day for
staple dry goods, millinery and cloth
ing and jobbers in these lines in all
parts of the country feel the improve
ment. Relatively the most gain has
been made at the south, where an im
provement is reported in almost all
lines. Interior merchants are placing
more liberal orders than for several
years and larger distributing centers
report sales of goods to the cotton belt
and collections therefrom exception
ally free.
“The unfavorable features are found
in disappointment at the moderation
with which wheat is exported from
week to week, the reported weakness
in pig iron and steel billets, and in
the competition suffered by domestic
woolen manufacturers from abroad.
“But an explanation of these condi
tions indicates that if representations
of tho size of the wheat crop and of
wheat stocks carried over be accepted,
average weekly exports from this
country, if kept up to the end of the
crop, will exhaust the amount of wheat
available for shipment abroad.
“The total number of business fail
ures throughout the United States
number 263 this week against 244 last
week, 238 in the week a year ago, 406
two years ago and 191 in 1892. More
encouraging business features are
found in the continued advance in tho
price of cotton which, in turn, has put
up prices of several varieties of cotton
goods, and in the prospect for the
maintenance of these rates, which with
freer movement of cotton at the south,
are having a very favorable influence
on business in that portion of the
country.”
A KILLING FROST.
Seventeen Days Earlier Than Usual
Throughout the Memphis District.
There was a killing frost Wednesday
throughout the Memphis district which
comprises West Tennessee, Eastern
Arkansas, North Alabama and North
Mississippi. This is seventeen days
earlier than the average date of the
first killing frost, which for the last
twenty yearR has been October 26th.
Not much damage has been done to
cotton, except where the crop was
planted later than usual, but the sec
ond crop of potatoes is considerably
injured.
Fifty Per Cent Short.
Mr. Campbell,superintendent of the
International and Great Northern rail
road, in Texas, says that the cotton
crop along the line of his road will not
be 50 per cent of last year’s crop and
does not believe that the crop of Texas
will exceed 50 per cent of last year’s
crop.

Do Fishes Talk?
A naturalist has been making some
investigations in the fish ponds at
Guilford, with regard to the much de
bated question as to whether fish can
communicate a notion of their expe
riences to other fishes. The experi
menter, when he had caught a tront,
threw it back alive into the pond,
Then he put in a freshly baited hook,
and only two or three trout came after
it. By experimenting in another
pond, equally well stocked, aud not
throwing back any fish, Mr. Field
found that he could catch trout with
out any trouble. This seems to show
that captured fishes, when released,
may communicate their sufferings to
their neighbors in the pond.
