HUNG OUT THE STARS AND BARS
Much Excitement Over the Displaying of
Confederate Flag.

Much Excitement Over the Displaying of
Confederate Flag.
CHARLESTON, w. Va. May 12.-Con-
federate veterans from various parts of
the state met here Tuesday to commem-
crate the birthday of Stonewall Jackson
and to decorate the graves of their fallen
comrades There were about 900 in the
parade. After the parade young man
displayed Confederate flag and Union
flag from the window of his Office on
Capital street in the heart of the bust
ness part of the city. This so enraged
an old Union soldier and ayoung Repub-
lican politician that they appeared in
front of the office and ordered the often
sive flag removed, which caused much
excitement 1t was but few moments
until the street was crowded with the
friends of the ex-Confederates, who
warned the parties not to interfere with
the flag. 1t was not taken down till
night The affair is greatly regretted
by all ex- Confederates who took part in
the days celebration.

Surprising Testimony,

Many physicians who have exam.
ined into the merits of B. b. b. (Bo-
tanic Blood Balm) have been con-
fronted with testimony which they
deemed surprising, and thus being
convinced of its wonderful efficacy,
have not failed to prescribe it in their
practice as occasion required.
III. l.. Cassidy, Kennesaw, Ga,
writes: "For two years my wife
was great sufferer. Skilful physi-
clans did her no good. Her mouth
was one solid ulcer, her body was
covered with sores, and she lost a
beautiful head of hair. Three bottles
of b. b, B. cured her completely, in.
credible as it may sound, and she is
now the mother of a healthy three
months-old baby, clear from any
scrofulous faint"
A. Il, Morris, Pine Bluff, Ark,
writes: "Hot Springs and several
doctors failed to cure me of several
running ulcers on my leg. b. b. b.
effected wonderfully quick cure af-
ter everything else had failed"

Especial Correspondence
New YORK, Aug. 1S.-Already some
thing of the glory and freshness of sum-
mer has departed, and the trees begin to
grow rusty and dusty, and hat means
that all those invisible fairies who pro-
vide the new garments to make feminin-
ity bewitching are busily engaged on
fall bonnets, fall wraps and fall gowns;
the bonnets come first of all, of course,
and they are the funniest little things
imaginable. Pretty, though. There is
one style where II can scarcely call it
anything but half a tin pan. The crown is
round and fiat and the rest is like the
edge cut away, and there is a narrow
ruching of black tulle all around the
crown and the edge, and alternate stripes
of velvet and silver embroidery. On
the top are two black prince feathers
and a close bow of silver gray ribbon
and strings of the same. This makes a
lovely bonnet, chaste and tasteful, but
not becoming to everybody.
