Forty-two White Stars in Blue Field.
UNION JACK
and
UNION IN UNITED STATES ENSIGN.
July 4, 1889.
BUREAU OF NAVIGATION,



Navy Department.
To add four stars to the thirty-eight already
placed in the blue field seems an easy task,
but Commodore Walker, chief of the bureau
of navigation, did not find it 50. The trouble
was that suggestions came in by the score, I'M
I'll the good commodore found himself over
oxheimed with material. The law prescribes
that the flag shall have thirteen stripes to
represent the thirteen original states, but it
has nothing to say about the manner in which
the stars shah be arranged. 1t is lucky the
lawmakers exercised so much forbearance,
for there have never been in this or any other
country legislators smart enough to foresee
the number of states this Union is to have,
nor to arrange feasible and artistic device
for disposing of the additions which the prog
ress of civilization and the enlargement of
our national domain from time to time makes
necessary.
A New York man. who says he is a stu
dent of heraldry, wrote the navy department
making three suggestions, one of which COM
mendcd Itself to Commodore Walker One
of these was the arrangement which natu-
rally suggests itself TO the mind, six times
seven being forty-twO:

"e1tras," though they are very pleasant ones,
too.
I had the good fortune to attend just such
an entertainment as this Though gotten up
by some society, it had the attractions suit
able for private gathering, only in that
case the whole would be arranged at the ex-
pense and under the direction Of host and
hostess The guests assembled In the after
noon and stayed until late in the evening,
therefore refreshments were provided and
the grounds were Illuminated.
The illumination was an effective feature.
Several calcium lights added brilliancy to the
scene, and countless Chinese lanterns, as odd
and varied in shape and color as possible,
Were hung about the edges of bay windows
and piazzas, and in many other places.
The supper arbor was an attractive place.
Its tables, spread with white cloths, were
edged with sprays of evergreen, and napkins
Of fringed tissue paper in pale, pretty colors,
lent a touch of beauty 30 the white and
green The dainty menu cards were of the
shape and color of leaves. The arbor was
lighted by lanterns, and on each table was
placed a handsome reading lamp with col
ored globe. In smaller, circular arbor
were the musicians.
The well for lemonade represented that
one of 'old oal1en bucket" fame. As it
was not possible to erect well sweep
the lemonade was drawn up in BUCKETS
by a young man, dressed as farm
hand, with shirt sleeves rolled up and
big straw hat. Inside the well frame,
which was made for the occasion and was
painted gray, stood number of buckets full
of the cooling drink partly covered with
moss. There was a trough to the well, and
when lemonade was wanted the farm
handn served it,
A snow grotto for ice cream was another
unique device It was CONSTRUCTED in a small
circular tent. The walls and ceilings were
hung first with sheets, and these were covered
with cotton batting, on which was silver
DUST which CLEANED in the light. Little ia
bles had snowy spreads, and instead Of chairs

This would give union of forty-seven
states, and it is quite likely that within five
years this number of stars viii have to be
provided for. Then, if Canada links her
fortunes with this country, and Cuba and
Hayti are annexed, we shall have to arrange
the blue field with half dozen or more stars
In addition to the forty-seven, thus verifying
Commodore Walkers prediction that the
time will come when the blue field will have
TO be enlarged or the stars made so small as
10 destroy their effectiveness in the ensemble
Another suggestion which reached the
commodore was for a six-pointed star, thus
arranged:

Those be rubies. fairy favors.
In those freckies live their savors.
Unjust go seek some dewdrops here,
And hang pearl in every coxslip's ear
Farewell, thou lot Of spirits, I'll be gone,
Our queen and all her elves come here anoa.

For this design the advantage was also
planned that new stars TO the number OF ten
or a dozen could be easily added without
rhancinc the character of the design. Com
moiore Walker, however, decided this was
too radical departure from the flag that
has foated over us for more than century,
and chung to the less snowy arrangement In
horizontal lines
Still another suggestion, made by MaSSi-
ehusetts man whose ancestors fought IN the
Revolution. and who places very high eStl-
nation on the Importance OF the thirteen
original states, was Tor circle OF thirteen
large stars containing twenty-nine smaller
ones.
Among the remaining suggestions were
those which arranged the forty-two stars IN
pyramids, in obeliSlzs. in shields, in regular
circles the Maltese cross, etc. In all proba-
bility Commodore Walkers decision will give
general satisfaction.
1t is singular fact that there has always
been a good deal of uncertainty about the
American flag. The mystery concerning its
origin has never been cleared. and for a long
time tn. people placed the stars as fancy
dictated. The union or Jack of the first
flag was thus formed with the thirteen stars:

Commodore Walker very properly decided
this was not pretty arrangement, and turn
ed his attention to something of greater
promise. Among the plans considered and
finally rejected was this, the chief merit
claimed for it being its fexibility to meet
future demands:

By taking from this design the four center
stars and placing them in the corners a vacant
space would be left In which one two, three,
five or even SIX new stars could be placed

An alarm of FIRE was founded from box
No. 28, at Ninth and Madison streets,
shortly beiore7 o'clock last evening to
which the entire department responded.
II Was caused by fire In the building

stories had been occupied by o family
named Collins, who removed early yes
terday morning. In the afternoon Mr..
and Mrs. Scott went to q funer-l and
when they returned, about 6 80 O'Clock,
she lighted a lamp In the store, alter
after which she locked the place up and
went to grocery store at Eighth and
Windsor streets.
Shortly afterwards q man named Ed
ward Seeds, while passing tho store, saw
smoke Issuing from the second story win
dows, aud after giving the alarm he
broke into the store. He found num-
Der OF articles in blaze, and with the
assistance of others threw them into the
street. Under the counter he found a
half gallon dan of coal oil with blaz-
ing wick In 1t. Seeds handed this can to
Police Officer Emmons, and he threw 1t
away, and the fact of It's being found
gives rise to the supposition that the
place was set on fire. Mra. Scott, how
ever, says that when she lighted the lamp
she threw the match down, and she
thinks 1t fell among some papers. Tho
| loss will be about $500, on which Mrs,
