FIELD OF THE FLAG.
Hnyvnii's Star Would Make Old Glory
Shine in Symmetrical Perfection.

Hnvnifs Star Would Make Old Glory
Shine in Symmetrical Perfection.
From the San Francisco Chronicle
The forty-four stars now in the field of
the American flag present very jagged
appearance. There does not seem to be any
way to arrange them in equal rows; all
sorts of forms and arrangements have been
adopted by flagmakers. Perhaps some uni
form plan of placing the stars would be
settled upon If it were not that every one
expects the number will be shortly in
creased.
No change can be made, however, until
1896. as the law requires that additional
stars shall be added only on the Fourth of
July succeeding the admission of new
states. In all probability Utah and New
Mexico will be admitted next winter, which
will increase the stars in the field to forty
six. But even then there will be almost the
same irresularity. though the field will be
mere nearly filled up and will appear less
jagged than new.
Forty-eight stars could be arranged SO as
to present perfectly regular appearance
and 1T is not improbable that that number
may be reached before long. Oklahoma, a
booming territory, is asking admission, and
Arizona has long had pretensions to state
hood.
With the admission of those four organ
lied territories the national domain will be
exhausted unless the Indian country Is to
be absorbed or admitted as an Indian state.
There is, of course, Alaska. but that region
can hardly be considered as a possible
| state. 1t might be added to our extreme
| northwestern state or even to California,
| as there is no constitutional obstacle to
| this.
An ideal number of stars for arrangement
| in the field of the flag would be forty-nine
| Up down and diagonally there would be
| rows of seven, the mystic number.
1t is quite possible that there may be
| forty mine states before the end of the
| century. The civilized Indians in the In
| dian territory may ask and obtain admis-
sion or the American colonies in the Ha-
| waiian islands may come in. 1t is true that
| they are now maintaining an independent
republic but they constantly avow their
purpose to ask admission to the Union.

HIGH PRICES FOR PAINTINGS.
The Sale of the Collection of Jamc
Price In London.

The Sale of the Collection of james
Price In London.
London Letter in New York Tribune.
The event of the week. SO far as the
world of art and society Is concerned has
been the sale of the James Price collection.
The ninety-one pictures realized the pro-
digious sum of fS7, 600, or about $435, ,OO0-a
sum almost equal to that which was
brought in 1892 by the wonderful collection
of Lord Dudley with its masterpieces of
Raphael, Cuyp, Hobbema and the masters
whose place has been assured by time. AS
to the quality of the Price pictures, 1t can
be thus summarized: Two beautiful mas
terpteces by Gainsborough; six or eight
second-rate Sir Joshuas; by Romney, one
beautiful but very slight sketch, and three
or four pretty, but by no means frst-rate,
finished pictures; an excellent tpppner;
some good Beecheys; by the great Sacaer,
three good examples and three very much
the reverse; among the former the beauti-
full and luminous early picture Mortlake,
which was naturally very much admired
when it appeared at the Old Masters last
winter; the fine. but rather too clean, sea
piece, "Helvoetsluys," and the stormy wal
d. 'Aosta." The prices realized by these
showed an enormous advance; for whereas,
in 1868, at the celebrated Bicknell sale,
where large sums, according to the stand
pictures, the "Helvoetsluys" brought 1,6O0
guineas. it realized exactly four times that
amount, or 400 guineas, on Saturday. The
"Mortlake" sold for $780, the wal d 'Aosta"
for 1900 and the two Venetian pictures,
which are now little better than wrecks.
brought $500 guineas each, prices Which
may fairly be called monstrous. The cli-
max Of absurdity, however. was reached
when Romney's pretty sketch of Lady
Hamilton was put up; head SO slightly
painted that when. five or six years ago, 1t
was offered to a well-known amateur for
f14O, he declined it as being altogether too
inconsiderable. In an ordinary sale at the
present day it might have brought f5OO. for
1t is certainly very pretty thing; but on
Saturday, amid the amazement of the
room, it went up by leaps and bounds to
the sum Of 2.030 guineas The Reynoldses
all sold for 80 to 40 per cent above their
estimated value.
The one picture which cannot fairly be
called dear. though. 1t fetched record
price far beyond what had been expected
was -Gainsboroughs portrait Of Lady Null
grave. The price paid was 10000 guineas.

District of Columbia 1t would, Of course,
be represented In the grand encampment,
and the Templars Of the jurisdic ton would
have more votes and possibly greater in
fluence in Templar affairs in general, but
there Is decided opposition on the part of
a large proportion Of the Templars of the
District. They aver that nothing is to be
gained by such a step and considerable
money Is saved each year to the local mem
bership by avoiding the expenses attend
ant upon the maintenance of Grand

with such an organization the Templars Of
the District would become equal in infiu-
ence and Importance 10 the various state
organizations, whereas when a subordinate
commandery Is itself represented in the
grand encampment It's influence is not
great. 1t is further said that there are a
number of jurisdictions in this country

that of the District of Columbia, and yet
through their respective grand command
cries, they have more votes and are ac-
corded more attention than the command
cries Immediately subordinate to the grand

Monday and Tuesday the I'd and Sd Of
September. beginning the week following
the Templars' triennial conclave, the I'm
perial Council for North America of the
Order Of Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine will
meet in annual session at Nantasket Beach,
a short distance from Boston, and many
of the> Templars who wear "the claws"
Will stay over to participate in the fes-
tivittes of that event. 1t is probable that
the various temples Of the country will be
well represented, and Almas Temple of
this city expects to make a creditable
showing, The representatives from Almas
Temple to the Imperial Council this year
are Harrison Dingman. George H. Walker.
Harry Standiford and Frank H. Thomas.
A big parade Of Shriners on Monday even
Ing Is one of the features of the program.
The order. while limited in membership TO
those who have attained the degree of
Knight Templar, or the thirty-second de-
gree of the Scottish Rite, is more largely
composed of Knights Templar, and 1t is
therefore reasonable to suppose that there
will be large gathering at Nantasket.

BEFORE HE WAS SENATOR.
An Incident in the Career of Senator
Teller of Colorado.

An Incident in the Career of Senator
Teller of Colorado.
1t was many years ago in Gilpin county,
Col, SO the story ran, as related to a Star
writer, and Senator Teller, not Senator
then, was a leading citizen Of those parts.
1t was in the earlier days Of the Colorado
silver excitement. Mining operations were
going on upon every hillside and along
every gulch. Teller was in the thick of 1t.
While there was a great deal of silver min
ing. there wasn't much Law, but the dem
tzens Of those regions were very earnest
set, and maintained reasonable order and
a degree of safety to both life and property
by that prompt method of justice known
as lynch law.
One day a Mexican was caught robbing
the sluice boxes. 1t was not the first time
this Mexican had betrayed this sluice box
weakness. In fact. he had a very bad rec
ord in Gilpin county. and the public had
long before come to a conclusion that the
world would be better off without him. So,
taken as he was in the very act 1t was
readily decided to be the proper thing to
hang him.
Teller took a prominent part in the de-
bate which preceded the MeXican's string
ing up. He said he very much regretted
the stern necessity which suggested the
suspension of this Mexican. but, like the
rest, he was vigorously in favor of it. He
saw no safety in anything else. To let him
go was TO encourage others or the same
sort, and these sluice box depreda tions We're
certain to finally lead to killings, in which
honest men might get the worst of it.
So rope was brought and arrangements
were arrived at for choking the life out of
the Mexican. A piron tree, nicely arranged
for gallows. was selected, and everything
was made ready to shove the robber into
eternity. At this crisis, Teller. who was a
man of profound religious convictions,
called halt in the proceedings to give the
condemned chance to pray.
The Mexican declined to avail himself of
this advantage, so Teller offered up a
prayer in his place. 1t was very honest
petition, and Teller asked forgiveness for
the Mexican from on high, and urged that
all punishment in his case hereafter might
be averted. Then they swung him off.
After the lynching, Tom Bowen, who was
present, and who was afterward in Con-
gress from Colorado, came up to the COM
ing Senator, and said:
'Old man, that was a great prayer you
put up. That Mexican ought to have felt
iattered, and would If he had understood
you. 1 couldn't help but think, however,
that there was a certain amount of sar-
casm in it. It struck me that you displayed
a fashion of insolent effrontery in urging
the admission to heaven Of a Mexican whom
you had already condemned as not good
enough for Gilpin county. Col However. it
was a great petition, and ought to go a
long way toward getting the Mexican
through the great white gate"
