The United s,n,cs RInr.

The recent discussions concerning the
alteration of the United States flag. in rec
ngnition Of the admission Of the new states
INTO the Union naturally provoked a Ger.
'Aln amount of inquiry into the history Of
he stars aud stripes The general facts in
regard to the adoption Of the national flag
are more or less well known, including the
much debated question as to whether or not
he emblem owes its present form to the
fact that the family arms of George Wash
lngton includes the stars and stripes that
are now so familiar. However this NAV
he it is certain that the flag was. bv act Of
Congress passed June IA. IN, established
as having l3 red and white stripes and
union Of l3 white stars in a blue field. and
the stars, instead Of being he six pointed
stars of heraldry, as they are on our coins,
are and always have been the five pointed
stars of Washington's coat of arms, known
in heraldry as "mullets."
The flag was on Jan. 13, 1894, decreed
by act Of Congress TO have the number of
both stars and stripes changed to 10, and
this was the flag which flew at the battles
of Fort McHenry and New Orleans in the
war Of 1912, and which was sung of for
the first time as THE Star Spangled Ban
ner.' By act of Congress passed April 4,
1918, the flag was again changed finally,
aud it was resolved that the stripes should
be IL in number aud that the blue field
should contain as many stars as there might
be states in the Union. This much is gen
orally known, but only few, perhaps, are
aware that the flag as it is now was de
signed by Capt. Samuel c. Reid, and that
the one made by his wife, a siken ensign
of the present form, flew at the masthead
OF the brig Gen. Armstrong when that
vessel, under Capt. Reids command made

Death of Judss william d. Kelley.

Hon. VIM. d. Kelley of Pennsylvania,
the oldest member of the House of Repre-
sentatives, in years of continuous service,
and known for this reason as ''the Father
of the House." died in Washington last
week at the age of IS. lie entered Con
gress in the year 1861 and had served in
every Congress since then. Originally an
enthusiastic free trader, the careful study
of the baleful effects of the Walker free
trade tariff of 1916 compelled him to rec.
ognize the necessity and beneficial effects
of "the American system" A tireless
worker, a ready and aggressive debater, a
man of rare courage and fighting qualities,
he was always on the picket line of the
fight to which he gave the best part of his
long and useful life, and was the acknowl-
edged leader of the Republicans whenever
the question of projection was in issue.
His political foes had to respect his charac-
ter, and they had a just fear of his readi-
ness and power in debate. The Republi-
cans looked up to him as a born leader, and
followed him with Just confidence in his
leadership,
With the death of Mr., Kelley disappears
the last of the party of public men who
were sent from Chicago by their state del
egations in 1860 to notify Mr., Lincoln OF
his nomination. At that convention Mr..
Kelley came into general notice because he
was for some time the only man whose
voice could be heard, and was listened to
by the immense and excited audience in
the reading of necessary resolutions.

old age in his series of papers now running

On Thursday evening of last week Judge
Thomas NJ. Cooley of Ann Arbor Mich.
chairman of the interstate commerce com
mission was sitting reading in his library
when his negro coachman, armed with a
double barreled shotgun, entered. The
judge was satisfied from bis appearance
that ne had become insane, but betraying
no alarm he asked him what was the mat
ter The negro replied that he had decided
to kill the whole family, as they talked too
much and left him no time to think. The
Judge betrayed no alarm and told him he
agreed with him, and that he would attend
to it. By the use of consummate tact the
judge succeeded in modifying the madman
until he at last laid down his gun and, at
the judges suggestion. left the room. AS
soon as he was out of hearing the judge
telephoned to neighbors, and in a short
time a deputy sheriff placed the coachman
under arrest. Doubtless frightful tragedy
was averted by the nerve and GOODNESS
which the distinguished jurist exhibited

A Staten island Romance.

Mr.. E. L. Temple of the Rutland school
board contributes this interesting sketch to
a recent number of the Rutland High
School Notes."
Come with me, said my good friend,
the busy suburban doctor, two short months
ago, "and / will show you memorable
case" So we drove into the poorer part
of the town, through ill-paved streets to a
small dwelling, tidy and neatly painted
but very humble, with rough palings before
it, a narrow yard and porch at the door
way Within were but three rooms ON the
ground floor and still fewer up the steep
and only flight under the low roof. 1t was
tenanted by Italians of the poorer class
and by their lodger who lay dead in the
house.
Over the door was tablet on which was,
as l remember, the inscription in Italian,
Here lived in exile, from 1851 to 1858,
the world renowned Giuseppe Garibaldi,
hero of Italy" Grape was at the bell
handle, and as the doctor was welcomed by
the simple inmates we entered, and before
us lay in state, covered with flowers, the
body of majestic veteran of eighty years.
Across his body lay his Masonic sword, on
which his hands were peacefully clasped,
and his long gray beard flowed down over
his powerful breast Mutely urged to reg
lister my name in one of several books
filed with the names of visitors, distin-
guished and otherwise, / learned that this
was the mortal part of Signor Meucci, a
learned and high-souled Italian patriot, the
lifelong and long-surviving personal friend
and comrade of Garibaldi, who shared his
exile in that humble abode, aud the init
mate associate of CavOur and Mazzini in
the struggle for Italian liberty. For more
than score, yes, generation of years,
had this poor spot been the home of this
expatTiated statesman and the Mecca OF
distinguished political refugees and travel
ers from his native land His death mask
had just been taken for statue in his
honor, and, as we fingered came a mag
nifcent wreath of roses, the tribute OF
Tommasso Salvini the great tragedian.
Next day his body was escorted TO the
crematory by a great concourse of the
foreign population Of the island, and ther
converted into ashes TO be sent home TO his
fatharland at the charge of those of his po
litical faith
IL was much to touch the external clos
ing rites of SO strange a career, but thi,
was not TO be all. Come up stairs, said
the doctor; aud there in a narrow room
and over a single bed, on which the old
man had died, hung-the original telephone

The free traders are overwhelmed at the
mass of evidence which has been given
against their pet theory at the hearings be-
fore the House ways and means committee
An exhibit which came like a knock down
blow from the shoulder was made by Gen
John d. lmboden of Virginia, who, though
life long Democrat, admitted that the at
titude of his party on the tariff question
had forced him to become a convert to the
Republican faith on national issues. Gen
lmboden was one of Lees trusted ieuten-
ants. He fought vaiantly on the confed-
crate side TO the end of the war, and car
ries in his body the marks of Union can
non shot. He is a strong, level headed
man and is today actively engaged in en-
terprises to build up the industrial interests
Of the South. His facts and figures con
cerning the development of southern in
dustries under protective tariff were sim
ply remarkable. At the expiration Of the
war not all iron furnace was 10 be found

doctor has solved the mystery as TO the ex-
act location of the human soul This

The corpus callosum," says the doctor,
sis the seat of the imperishable mind, and
