flying it to Is stars and IS stripes nor the act of
April IA, 1918, define the manner of arranging
the stars in the blue field. The last Of these
acts is the one under which the national flag has
been made up to the present time and although
IL is silent as to the manner of displaying the
stars the correspondence and proceedings which
led to its framing give support to the practice
uohOWed IN later years. Of placing them in
parallel lines. On reference to the subject in
pages PSI and 25S of Rear Admiral George f.
Prebles very exhaustive and instructive His
tory OF the American Flag it will be found that
Captain s. G. Reid. who designed the flag con-
templated by the act of April Ia, 1885, suggested
that the stars displayed on the unions of flags
intended for merchant vessels be formed into
one large outline star, while those for ships of
war be placed IN parallel lines. The omission
which unfortunately exists in the law permits
the uniformity and simplicity of the flag to be
destroyed says Admiral Preble, by the cOnceits

The surrender of CORVALLIS at Yorktown the
most important event in the success of Ameri-
can arms, was accepted under flag whose stars
were in parallel lines. The flag displayed by
Commodore N. c. Perry on his landing in Japan,
and subsequently at the treaty of Yokohama
March. 1854, great and distinguishing event in
the nations history, bore its stars likewise in
parale lines, VIZ: nye lines OF five stars each and
one of four stars; and the flag first hOsted over
the palace in the capital Of Mexico, at the close
of our war with that country (1S4S) and which
Is now preserved in the State department, bears
on its union twenty-eight stars in four rows Of
seven each-the rows being parallel with the red
and white stripes.
The weight of all these authorities is on the
side Of parallel lines and this coupled with the
fact that it has been the accepted custom to so
make the unions for many years past, may be
regarded as establishing this form Of arrang ing
the stars as firmly as it be established in the
absence of positive or explicit refinement in
the law itself"

In the years gone by certain representative

with him. You remember he went away from
here poor man."
''Then he sold his vote!" shouted one Of the
yeomen.

replied the delegate, but when came to tackle
him personally he explained everything as clear
as day. He had not sold his vote. He had not
forgotten that an honest constituency was be-
hind him, and no money could have bribed his
conscience. No, my friends, there is no stain or
his reputation"
"Then how did he get his money!" asked three

Fancy valley as flat as plain, twenty miles long by fifteen miles wide, watered by five beautiful streams, and covered with plantations of oranges, lemons, grapes and other fruits. Surround this valley with mountains, ranging from one to two miles in height, and extend some of these mountains outward from the valley for thirty miles. Make these thirty miles to consist of a succession of sylvan hooks and dales in which pine groves, willow ponds, evergreen mea- dows, and every variety of natural parks succeed one another, until the eye is tired with innumerable scenesof beauty. Construct such roads from the valley to the mountains as will enable you to

Dead After Eight weeKs' Marriage
Boston Traveller.


 The brilliant wedding of Mir. James G. Sumner to Miss Julia A. Fox, daughter of Mayor Fox, of Cambridge, occurred only eight weeks ago, and few skies seemed so propitious as were those un, der which they took their start in life. Miss Fox is the heiress of large fortune and MT. Sumner was young man well spoken of by his associates in bushes in Boston. The couple departed the even- ing oftheir marriage on a wedding tour, and returned but short time since to the parental roof of Mayor Fox, where they have since resided.
 Friends of MT. Sumner have noticed that he seemed rather unnatural in hls manners during the past week or two, and 1t is hinted that something in the way of business troubles, though noth- ing very serious, preyed on his mind.
 Wednesday evening, at the tea-tabfe, Mayor Fox suggested to him that he give up his business for the present, and take a European trip with his wife, that be- ing also her desire. At bed time MT. Sumner retired as usual, Mrs. Sumner occupying another room on account of a painful affection of her eyes, which made her wakeful,
 Thursday morning Mrs, Sumner re- marked to her father that James did not respond to her call, and that bis door was locked on the inside; but it was thoughttha he was probably asleep. Later the wife became alarmed at being unable to get a reply from repeated knocks at his door, and expressed her fears that all was not right. Keys were obtained, and upon entering the room the young man was found lying on the bed, dressed and dead.
 A messenger was dispatched for Dr. Webber, and aiterward for Dr. Holt, medical examiner for the district, and for Captain Copeland, of police station No. 2 IExamination showed that the unfortunate man had been dead four or five hours. 4 pistol with one barrel, lying near his face, showed with what weapon the deed was committed. A bullet wound was found in the side o his abdomen and another in the right temple, the latter penetrating tothe base of the brain. The theory of the medical examiner IS that Mir. Sumner fired the shot into his side first, and then reloaded and fired the second shot. Neither ei them was instantly fatal, and it is sur missed that he lay in a dying condition several hours. Sumner was cousin ol Charles Sumner, and bis wedding, which was solemniged at St. Peters Episcopal church, was one the most brilliant that ever took place in the city.
