and bark from the inner side of the logs

fire. Except the four log walls and the
roof which must have been the better

was absolutely nothing TO this cabin.
The pile OF ashes on the big hearth
showed that tho place had once been in
habitod; bat, miserable though / was, |

Dick Bradley threw circle of pick

hour, gave them n countersign and de-
tailed q relief. While this was being
done tho men not Oh picket carried in
logs to be used rs fuel or for seats and
then sat down, and soon the cabin was
filled with steam and the odor of toast

made for Mrs Peters and her daughter.
They showed their appreciation of this
thoughtfulness by removing their shoes
and lying down, with their saddles for
pillows.

roar of battle might not have done.

1t has been informally decided at the
Navy Department, that one OF the new
ships will be named after the historic
Kearsarge--a departure from the rule OF
naming them after states-in honor Of
that famous ship-of-war.
We Want One OF the Other Ships
Named Rhode Island.
Why net? Rhode Island was q cradle
for naval seamen. Rhode Island furnished
the nucleus of the first Continental Navy
and her sons did gallant service in every
naval war from the Revolution to the Re-
bellion.
Perry was a Rhode Islander. Sc was

Chief OF the American Navy.

coming session Of Congress, the claims OF
Rhode Island will be carefully considered.
Very respectfully, II. A. HERBERT.
Any movement to this end will
naturally take the form OF petition from

GNRNlAN-AMBRICAN VETERANS

| GERAlAN-AMBRIC VETERANS.
Berlin, Aug. 31.-The German-Ameri-
| can veterans arrived here at 10 o'clock
this morning. They were met by dele
cations from the city veteran associa-
ton, headed by the veteran corps in uni
form and a band of music, which was
drawn up in front of the railway station.
When the visitors left the train the band
payed Deutschland Ueder Alles," and
they were warmly welcomed by the
members of the receiving committee. The
Americans were presented with laurel
wreaths by two ladies of honor and re-
ceived an ovation from the large crowd
of people assembled about the depot.
The American visitors then entered car
riages and proceeded to the United States
embassy, which was reached at 1 80 p. m.
The delegation, consisting of 20 promi-
nent members of the German-American
Veteran corps, then paid its respects to
the United States ambassador, the Hon.
Iheo. Runyon. Comrade Shelenicker of
Chicago, who was spokesman of the
party. said that the veterans had re-
turned to their Old home in order to take
part in the National celebrations of the
many victories of 1901, but he as.
sured the United States ambassador that
the German-American veterans were
prepared, if the country of their adoption
called upon them, to fight for the stars
and stripes as Loyalty as they did % years
ago for the German tri-color.
After acknowledging the compliment
paid him by the visit of the veterans, Mr..
Runyon said that the discharge of patri-
otto duty was honored everywhere and
that patriotic service to the land of ones
birth is one assurance of fidelity to the
country of ones adoption. Mr.. Runyon
concluded with wishing his visitors
pleasant stay in Germany and a safe re-
turn to the United States, with best
wishes for their welfare.

THE NEW STAR FOR THE FLAG.

Another star, the Iorty7nIh,. ~ " DC
added to the flag, The new star will rep
resent Utah, and the order for its addi--
ton TO the National colors was issued
by Secretary Lamont today. The star
will be placed to the right Of the fourth
row from the top.
The order for the addition OF the star
is accompanied by one changing the size
of the colors. Heretofore the standard
has been six feet by five. The new order
makes the regulation size five feet six
inches by four feet five inches.
The order provides for the new colors
to be issued to all infantry, artillery and
the battalions of engineers, and also for
new standards for all cavalry. The new
flags will be very handsome. They are
to be made of the finest American silk,
and their cost will be quite considerable.
Utah will not obtain statehood until the
9TH day of next July, but all the flags
hereafter contracted for and issued will
contain the star heralding the admission
of that Territory into the Union.
