A Canadian General Prevents Its Removal
from Ball Room.
A CHARITY ball was given in the armory
at winnipeg, Manitoba, last Thursday, and
among the decorations were several Ameri-
can flags. These gave offense to Major
Coultee, commander of the Winnipeg field
battery and some of his officers and they
ordered "Old Glory" removed. The ball
committee refused to obey this order and
Coultee then made a formal request to the
general commanding the district to insist
upon the removal OF the Stars and Stripes.
The general, however, did not take the
majors view of it, and ruled against him.
This made the latter furious and he threat
ened to organize detachment of Sons of
England and pull down the flags. The gem
eral became angry, too, and he ordered a
detachment of infantry on guard to prevent
any interference with the decorations. The
flags remained.

Robert Per kins, who was confined for few days to the house, is better, but Mrs Henry Shove is reported as very ill.

 The horse sheds near the church, which were partially unrOofed in heavy late autumn wind, are being in part restored and repaired.
 The bare earth and the present mild ness of the season is somewhat remark able for this latitude. While it may in- duce sickness, it is certainly favorable in the matter of fuel, for the poor and the large multitude of the unemployed and their dependents. At the present rate by which business is dispatched in Congress. some time must elapse before any ap- parent change will or can take place in the affairs of the country. Revolutions are not the work of day. It is to be hoped that Congress will legislate for the best interests of their constituency, the American people.
