FLAG DAY ANNIVERSARY
Something About the Growth OF tn,
Constellation in the Blue

New York Recorder: June IA was the
fourteenth anniversary of the establish
ment of the United States flag. On June
IA, 1777, the congress Of the thirteen states
adopted at Philadelphia flag which was
the progenitor of the banner of today, and
which differs from the latter only in the
number of stars in the Union or jack
situated in the upper left-hand corner.
The original flag was, by the congress
sional resolution adopting it, directed to
consist of thirteen stripes alternate red
and white.' with Union of thirteen
stars, white in blue field, representing a
now constellation
Red, white and blue were selected for
the new nations colors because each color
was typical of a quality or fact specially
| eminent in the nation. Red typitied cour-
| age and also represented the sanguinary
sod of the enemies OF the country White
| typified honesty and purity. Blue was in
| dicatiye of shining skies and the favor of
| the Most High. When the tricOlor was in
| 1874 decreed as the national standard of
republican France a similar explanation
of the appropriateness of the colors was
given.
Stripes wereiselected as the device for
the body of the ensign, in consequence,
| some historians claim, of the use Of color
ed stripes or bands in the early months of
the revolution, before the details of uni
forms were clearly settled, to distinguish
the various grades of officers, use which
was continued when the accidents and
privations of war bore heavily on cloth
ing. The number of stripes were placed
at thirteen to demonstrate at once the in
dividuality and the unity of these thir-
teen states.
The first arrangement of the thirteen
/ stars In the union or Jack was in the
form of circle. The adoption of the ma

One day the admiral came aboard iron, tno

Here he was spied by the dog. Nep stood

SndSaniv the dog made a rush at the legs and
mada q lean through the tempting gap.
IN astonishment at the black tornado that
had nassed beneath him, the admiral
whirled quickly about to see what was the
cause. The dog took this action as sigoal
for an ''encore," and jumped again.
Once more the admiral turned. and
again the dog jumped. The bewildered face
OF the admiral and the serious attentions of
Nep to what he imagined was his business
were too much for the gravity of the by-
ISLANDERS, and, forgetting the respect dine fo
rank, they all roared with laughter.
A sailor, however, had enough presence of
mind to break from the crowd and catch the
dog by the collar. He led him off, and Men
seemed to wonder why he did not receive
the praise due to such spirited efforts.
The excited admiral got but an imperfect
explanation of the affair from the spectators'
Tor they could hardly tell him that his legs
had been used as circus hoop for a fore
castle dog. Perhaps to his dying day the
occuranco was mystery.

The Ecumenical Council of the Methodists
now In session In Washington, takes for its
name word long in use by the Catholic
church to designate the grandest of ecclesi-
astical councils. Ecumenical, or Gcumenic-
al as 1t is more properly written, is derived
from Greek word meaning ''the habitable
EARTH" That Is, an ecumenical.council is in
theory one composed of delegates called to-
gether from the whole habitable earth. In
practice 1t has never meant more than col
lection of delegates from the Christian world.
In the Catholic church the ecumenical coun-
ell is summoned by the Pope, and is COM
: posed Of all the Catholic bishops Of the earth.
Some Of these councils, like that Of Nice,
have been very famous for their delibera-
tions and decisions. According to the ideas
Of the Catholic church such councils are un-
der the guidance of the Divine Spirit and the
doctrinal decisions they may make are both
final and infallible. OF course the Methodist
council takes little more than the name from
the Catholic. The Methodist council will
not attempt to determine Questions of doc
trine or to promulgate infallible DEGREES.
The Methodist council is intended to fill the
same place in the church that the Pan-Pres-
byterian council and the International Con-
gregational council have filed in the Presby-
terian and Congregational churches. The
Methodists in Washington are gathered to-
gether to discuss questions of common inter-
estto all Methodists, to enjoy socially the op-
portunities for communion, and to draw closer
the ties of denominational fellowship. The
Council can do this better than any confer
ences. since the Council includes all the
Methodist bodies, which are very many. A
writer in Harper's Weekly says that man
would require all the fingers Of both hands
to count all the Methodist branches which
exist beyond the sea, and the fingers of -four
hands would not suffice to enumerate the
branches into which the Methodlsm OF
America Is divided. ltwould be bewilder
ing to the ordinary reader to parade Defor
him the names Of all these branches, begin
ming with the Methodist Episcopal Church
the parent body. owning in turn as its pa
rent the Wesleyan body cf Great Britain
the Methodist Episcopal Church South; tn,
African Methodist Episcopal Church; th,
African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church
the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church
the Union American Methodist Episcopa
Church; and the dozen or more of Other
Methodist churches which do not embrace
the word episcopal in their title. Ten
years ago similar council was held In Lon
don. For the arrangement Of this Council
nearly year has been required, and 1t is
expected that its results will be much more
important than were those of the Council Of
1881. Curiously one Of the reasons for thi
expectation is the greater enterprise of th,
American newspapers as compared with th,
papers Of London. The great London tiaI
lies did not pay especial attention to the con
ference of 1881, while the Council of 1891 Il
receiving abundant attentions from th,
American press.

Joint debates between candidates, or even
between the campaign orators of rival par
Ties, have not been the style in New Eng
land. 1t is true that Hannibal Hamlin par.
ticipated in joint debate in one of the early
campaigns of his career. and in the time OF
the Greenback excitement In Maine there
were several affairs of this sort But In gen.
eral the joint debate has been the particular
Institution of the West and South. The
joint debates of Abraham Lincoln and Ste
phen A. Douglas were probably the most
famous and the most influential In moulding
public opinion of any that ever took place.
In late years such debates have not attracted
much attention because they have not often
been participated in by men of national
prominence. But this year the joint debate
seems to be coming into style again. In
Ohio the rival candidates for governor, both
men of national reputation, are meeting in
this way, and In Massachusetts arrangements
are nearly perfected for a meeting between
Henry Cabot Lodge and John E. Russell.
This is not Governor Russell, but the ex-
Congressman of the same name, a man of
considerable reputation and ability in Mass
achusetts, though not so prominent as Mr..
Lodge. The first of the series will occur in
Boston on the 23d inst, and will be concern
ing the administration of Governor Russell.
Others will follow upon national topics.

The announcement is made that General
ii. v. boynten has retired from his position
as Washington correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial Gazette; and it is intlmated
that the new management of that paper in
tend to fill his place with Sensational"
correspondent. Such change will be loss
TO the country as well as to the credit OF tne
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. The large
papers of the country are sending to WASH
iDgton altogether too many sensational
writers, and too few well Informed, Judicious
and able men like General Boynten. For
twenty-five years and longer he has had the
respect and confidence of public men, and is
today one of the best informed journalists in
the country. His retirement is explained by
the statement that John R. Mclean, the
prominent Ohio Democrat, has purchased
the controlling interest in the Commercial
Gazette and proposes to add to it the sensa-
tional features that have made the Demo-
cratic Cincinnati Enquirer so profitable, II
this is the case the usefulness of the Com
mercial Gazette as Republican paper will
be seriously impaired, If not ruined.

There is considerable consolation for sd-
mirers of the horse Nelson in the following
comments Of the Boston Globe on the race
with Allerton:
The best friends of Nelson In New England
thought the race with Allerton was poor iudg-
ment on the part Of his owuer.
The horse has been fitted to go single miles ana
mas not had race since the fall of 1889. Then
Alerton has been three heats close up In 2.I2.
2.l2Aa and 2.l2. 1t was a hard hill to look for,
The general impression was that Nelson would
not start, but most people thought that II he did
come down to score for the word he would make
AIerton trot three heats In 2.13 to beat him.
onreWu n0rsemen never thought that Nelson
s0ulu Deat the Jay Bird colt a race of heats, and
lhe money lost on the New England horse was
Lat.su .s aesuit OF sympathy, poor companion for a
GIVEN good driver and filter like Doble. Gold
on: BOWEN, Geers or any OF that stamp to shape
ana ana drive the New England horse in race, and
ne would make Alert0n trot faster than apy
slalllon ever did before in race but under pre- s
ent conditions there are two other stations AT
least, and probably four, that can beat Nelson In
Those Interested in the stock interests of
Maine would rather believe that Nelson lost
because he had not been trained for races
than because he did not have the strength
and endurance to prevent the taking of a
race from him by horse that did not 90
faster In any of his winning heats than
2.14A.

WHAT THEY ARE HERE FOR
TWO PROMINENT GENTLEMEN
REPRESENTING THE
Southern Interstate Bureau of immigra-
grafton Talk Business to n Gazette
Man-Te1as to Be on the List

Col w. NJ Pickett of North Carolina
and Capt S. J. T. johnson Of Corsicana,
Tex, were i'll Fort Worth yesterday in the
interest of the Southern Interstate Bureau
of immigration. These gentlemen are on
an itinerary of organization through the
Lone Star state. Branch bureaus have to
be established to work in cooperation with
the general headQ uarterS at Raleigh. \. G.
The Southern interstate bureau was
formed at Montgomery, Ala, il lSSS,' said
Col. Pickett, land being backed and sus
tanned by fourteen Southern states, for the
purpose of inducing immigration and money
to Southern fields, is here to stay. We
want to make Texas the objective point of
immigration from the ,,Carolinas. Tor the
North for that matteV.) which in turn is
vitalized by Northern blood and money.
| mean that people of the Carolinas who
sell their homes TO Northern immigrants
are solicited to come to your state through
the organization of your branch bureaus -
This organization is something analogous
to an inclined plane upon which we will
slide the immigration into Texas. Texas is
a fruitful field in which TO implant this or
eanzation. The force of immigration is
turned to the Lone Star state, and 1t only
needs to be beckUned The capacity of ab-
Sorption of this immense state is wonderful,
but to accelerate immigration you unjust
have organization, and supplement dfgfr
ization with work you will see the change
growing more perceptible, the towns grow
ing faster, railroads branching out more,
your school lands growing more valuable,
in fact if you unite in inviting honest and,
industrious people from every section of
the country TO make their homes Within
your state. you will see more men of uls4fs
and experience among you from 4her
states. and the immigrant with pamphfse'
in his hand catechising you how TO get the
school lands, and how about the Panhandle
and Western Texas!
I'VE are here for the purpose of aligning
every section in the cause of con-
centrated effort by organizing branch
bureaus of the Southern interstate
immigration bureau, whose mission
is to invite immie grafton and capital
to the Southern states by an extensive and
thorough system OF advertising, personal.
