Interesting and Patriotic Exercises mt the
Raising of an American Flag.

A very successful flag raising took place
Thursday afternoon at district school No.
s, Rockland, OF which +. Y. slaughter is
principal, about 100 persons being present.
The exercises opened with the singing of
the national song, America, by the Mt.
Lebanon choir, who were assisted by the
children of the school. The Rev. James
Conner followed with prayer, after which
the choir rendered Tramp. Tramp very
acceptably. Miss Martha Conner, a pupil
in the school, recited patriotic poem APP
propriate to the occasion, called THE
Morning of the Discovery"
The flag was then presented to the school
by the Rev. James Connor, who made a
fervent and patriotic address. He then
presented the flag on behalf Of the teachers
and patrons of the school. Thomas Frame
received the flag on behalf of the scholars,
and spoke of the pleasure of being in his
native hundred and at the school which
he once taught. He was glad to re-
ceive this beautiful emblem. that of CON
stitutional American liberty. He mentioned
reminiscently that he was teaching here
April l4th, 1861, when Fort sumter was
fired upon. The patriotic feelings of the
people of the district were at once reused
and flag was raised on this same school
house in addition to those raised on the
house of Mr.. Sterling and at Rockland.
The civil war followed and the men who
Carried Jllls StiITN DuHlltT were SUCCESSFUL
and to-day 1t floats over our country.
The choir then sang Columbia, the
Gem of the Ocean, during the rendition
of which the beautiful flag was uniurled,
and from its folds fell number of little
flags which had been put there as a sur
prise for tine school children, who received
the flags as momentoes of the occasion.
An address by c. L. Il. Bates followed.
Having spoken briefly of the discovery OF
America by Columbus, he took for his
theme the American flag, which had been
the inspiration OF our ancestors III the war
of the reyC luton, and again in the war OF
1872 when We drove the BritOn forever
from our shores" He then spoke Of the
civil war; and the bravery and sacrifice
which had been displayed BY the people OF
by the women in their homes than by
men i'll the field. lie referred to u recent
visit to the battlefield of Gettysburg and to
the feelings aroused by the rows of green
mounds with which the national cemetery
is filled. many OF them adorned with no
other mark than Il marble slab, bearing
the saddest word in the English language,

When he heard that Columbus was
on lis way to san Domingo, Bohadilla

preparations for defence, pretending to

sisting the orders Of the crown. Having,
as a measure Of safety, arrested the
peaceful Don Diego, brother of Column
bus, he loaded him with chains and
confined him on board of one Of the
caravcls. AS there was no ground,
whatever, for his suspicion, it Is clear
that his object in all this was merely To
give n pretrSt for the violence and insult
he melitatcd.
In the meantime Columbus was pro-
ceedng towards san Domingo without
guards and attendants, and although he
was aware Of the hostile Intentions Of
Bohadilla, and his threats Of violence,
he decided to appear in san Domingo
in that modest manner, to show his
pacific feelings, or, at least, to remove
suspicion.
A. 50 IN as Bobadilla was informed Of
his arrival, he ordered him to be put in
irons, and confined in the fort. This
outrage on man so venerable and of
such eminent merit, seemed atrocious
even to his enemies; and when the irons
Were brought, every one drew back in
horror at tile idea Of having to put them
on him, But one was found willing to
perform the oaious task, and to increase
the aged admiral's grief it was one of
his own domestics, wretch named
Espin0sa. 10 refute the oft repeated
statement that Columbus treated the
natives in a cruel manner, it may be
noted that an Indian prince and his de-
voted wife, remained with and sus-
tanned the admiral in this most trying
hour.
Columbus was sent home in chains
Upon his arrival in Spain he made such
a clear defence that the sovereigns were
convinced of his innocence, and lie was

On the 10th of May, 1906, the admiral

and resignation Of the righteous, he pre-.

scrupulously fulfilling all the ohltga-
tions Of loyalty, affection and Justice,
he turned all his thoughts to heaven,
and asking Of his own accord, for the

The bagpipes, which were many
throughout the column, shrieked shrilly
as the Scots marched on. Two hundred
ment, clad in the royal Stuart plaid,
called forth loud cheers of approval.
The black and gold of the Sons of st.

came rank after rank of Cretian and

In the rear Of the Catholic Order of
