In the Boston Daily Globe Of last Tuesday,
which contained n lengthy account of the
opening OF the fair, appeared the above let

The first flag carried by the regiment in
lbs battle of Blackburn's Ford and First
Manassas. July IS aad 81 1861, was the
stars aud Bare" It's similarity 10 the
stars and Stripes caused great confusion
in those battles, and the different States
alouted their own State flags to be carried
by their own regiments thereafter. Tbis
Virgins flag was presented bg Governor
john Letcher on the heights Of Centseville,
October 80. 1861
la the meantime the Confederate gov
eminent adopted the battle-hAg, and on No
vem6er IS. 1861. they were presented to the
An-rent commands, the State iiiga being
retired.
The first battle flag used by Tie Seven
leenth Virginia was Il handsome silk one,
presented by their lady friends. 1t was car
ried until il became 20 tattered and torn by
the number Of battles it had passed through
that it had to be lhid sside. Together with
the State flag it was packed up and sent 10
richmond for safe keeping, but from some
unknown causcs it became separated from
liz companion lag and has never been found
10 this d5v.
The bsLlie flag presented by the State On
tie rs h OF November was then taken up
snd WAS used up 10 and including the hat

PREPARING TO MOVE.
The Clarkson Family Will Winter
in Washington.

Special to the Globe.
DES MONIES, To-, Dec. A local pa
per will say tomorrow that there are
good reasons for believing that j. S.
Clarkson has been rendered and has ac-
cepted a place in MI. HarriSon'S cabi-
net. A personal friend of his has recently
stated that such was the case, and init
mate friends of the family are whisper
ing around that the ClarkSon family are
preparing to make their home in Wash
ington. Further evidence of confir-
matory character is not lacking. A re-
organization of the editorial staff of Mr..
Clarkson's paper is under way, the
position of managing editor having
been rendered to a prominent Iowa
journalist within the last ten days. The
place rendered Mr.. Clarkson is under
stood to be the portfolio of the interior.
This will enable Mr.. Clarkson to APP
point Gen. futile or Col. Fairchild
commissioner of pensions, and furnish
a wider field than could be found
elsewhere for the reward of his
personal and party friends. Another
interesting bit of cabinet gossip that is
floating around in a select circle here
is that Mr.. Blaine is to be secretary of
state. 1t is said this is the deal fixed up
by Mr.. ClarkSOn'S personal friends i'll
order to either shelve John Sherman or
put him in the treasury. Senator Sher-
man has two brothers here, and the
younger members of the family own
and operate the Des MoineS street rail
way. Two or three years ago they
stepped in front Of syndicate headed
by Clarkson that contemplated the pur-
chase, and bought it out clean from
under them, Mr.. Clarkson thinks to-day
that John Sherman furnished the
money, and there has been a coldneSs
between them ever since. The idea
now is that Sherman believes he has
achieved all the. honors as financier
that is allotted to the average secretary
of the treasury, and that rather than to
take up the duties of that position with
congress that is little likely to relieve
its congested state by wise legislation,
he will decline, and in that way will be
gotten out of the way

MINNEAPOLIS
EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.
A Meeting of Ministers for the Or
qaniZatiOn of One.

tSethkAktkOh VI OnOs
The lecture room of the First Baptist
church was crowded last evening with
delegates representing the different
orthodox churches who had assembled
for the purpose of organizing branch
of the Evangelical alliance of the
United States. Rev. G. A. Van Anda
was the presiding officer and Rev. d. d.
McLaurin acted as secretary. The sec
rotary stated the object of the organiza-
ton and said by such cooperation it
would be possible for church people to
act as a unit in stopping the
printing of newspapers on, Sunday
and effectually enforce the law for the
closing of saloons OH the Sabbath. He
also advocated that the city be divided
into sections, and that visitor be ap-
pointed for each section, whose duty it
would be to visit each person in the dis
trict and make inquiries as to their re-
ligiOuS belief, the names and the result
of his inquiries to be entered in pass
book and reported to the executive
board of the alliance. In this way the
pastors of the various denominations
would be Immediately informed of all
the newcomers in their respective To-
calities who had been in the habit of
attending churches of their de-
nomination, and also of all per-
attending church This information
would afford an opportunity for hun
dreds of laymen to do direct and per-
sonal work among the so-called
masses" and comfort and aid any
which might be found suffering
from sickness or distress. The
committee on formation of a
constitution and bylaws made its
report. This report was read by sec
lions and adopted. Some of the sec
tions read were not adopted without
considerable debate, but were all finally
agreed upon after some slight amend
mentS had been made.
article 1. This organization shall
be known as the Evangelical Alliance
of Minneapolis auxiliary to the Evan
gelical Alliance for the United States
of America" was strongly objected to
by the delegates from the Lutheran
churches. They objected to the alli-
ance having any connection with the
national alliance. Rev. Falk GjertS0n
stated that the Lutherans were in
hearty sympathy with the objects
for which this alliance was be-
ing organized, but that they felt
III would not ne f1gnt fOr them 10 JOIN IL
if it was connected with the National
alliance. He said their objection to
the National alliance was that num-
Der of the officers and members of the
organization had been instrumental in
sending out missionaries to Germany,
Norway, Sweden and Denmark for the
purpose of making proselytes among
the LUtherans of those countries, and
that the Lutheran church considered
that by such action they had as much
as said that they were not members OF
a Christian church.

THE DEADLY PARALLEL.

Senex Springs the Trap on the
Tribune Chesterfield.
To the Editor OF the Globe.
The Tribune this morning assures us
that President Cleveland intends to
make Minneapolis his home after he
gets through with the cares of state.
Doubtless the chief attraction to him
will be that he can feast his eyes every
morning upon the freshly printed
pages of that journal, whose exquisitely
refined and gentlemanly treatment Of
him when here can hardly have es-
capped his memory.
The confidential way in which the
news of his intentions was impaired to
to the Washington correspondent of the
Tribune reminds me of q parallel case,
which happened so long ago that few
now living can remember it. 1t was
soon after Gen. Jackson and suite had
made their trip to New England i'll 1888
that the correspondent of Maine
paper, in writing from Washington,
gave an account of a similar converse
ton with Vice President Van Buren,,
and revealed the fact that he had been
SO charmed with the attractions of
Maine that he was waiting impatiently
the termination of his official duties in
order that he might return there and
pass the rest of his days in the lovely
seclusion of Waldoboro! Yours truly,
SENEX.

MUSCLE sURRENDERs.
The Switchmen's Strike at Indi-
annapolis Declared Off.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Dec. 4.-The
switchmen's strike was declared ''off''
this morning, the men acknowledging
themselves beaten. They hung out I'M
til every yard Was in full operation and
they saw no aid was coming from the
engineers and firemen. About 10
o'clock this morning the strikers re-
paired to the several yards where they
were formerly employed and asked to
be reinstated, but they met with the
statement at each yard that their
places had been filled and the roads
would not discharge men who had
helped them through. 1t is thought
however, that within a day or two at
least, about one-half of the strikers. will
be given their old places. the compa-
MES will send some Of the new men
back to points where they came from,
and secure them their former jobs.
The strikers feel very sore over their
defeat, and many of them are now
pireS that the strike was really in
stigated and worked up by four switch
men who came from Chicago about four
months ago and obtained work here.
They were members of the switehmen's
union, and by persistent efforts they
succeeded in organizing the Indian
apolis switchmen into branch of the
union. AS soon as this was &C
complished, the Chicago men began
to talk of Chicago wages and filled
the heads of the Hoosier switchmen
with the idea that they were being inn
posed upon because their wages were
not quite as large as the Chicago switch
men receive, never taking into consid-
Grafton the difference between the two
cities in the matter of the cost of rents
and living. Prior to the arrival Of these
Illinois missionaries the Indianapolis
men were contented. They are sorry
now they ever saw Chicago switch
