Is it flown upon muster Sunday, when, if the weather is fine. the ship is expect ed to be in her best trim. When it rains or snows or blows "half a gale" a smaller flag is flown. Ensign No. 2 is 97.19 feet by 14.35 feet, and the union is 10.SS by 7.73. Nos. 3, and are still smaller, the latter being the storm flag. It measures only 9.75 feet by 5.4 feet, and the union is 3.9 feet by 2.76. 1t flies in wind or rain or sleet and endures all the rough weather that the ship it floats over chances to encounter.
 No. 6, which is the smallest ensign l in common use, is the boat flag; this measures 5.5 feet by 2.9 feet, and it's union is 2.2 feet by 1.2 feet When there is man-of-war in the harbor this is the flag seen floating over the gig, or steam cutter, taking the officers ashore, or carrying boat loads of fair visitors to the polished decks of the New York, Philadelphia. San Francisco, Baltimore or Charleston. as the case may be.
 The United States navy does not manufacture it's own bunting, but buys the cloth and makes it up into ensigns, pennants and flags at what landsmen call the Brooklyn navy yards-the sailor knows it only as the New York navy yard. The bunting is thoroughly tested for color by we'll established methods, and the tensile strength tried by special machinery. but as all bunting varies unavoidably in quality, some ensigns wear much better than others although exposed to no harder usage. One cardi- nal rule of navy discipline is never to let Jack be idle; and whenever rent or tear is discovered in the ships dress, Jack "squats" on deck and darns away nt his sweetheart's fnery as deftly as any housewife works at hers.
 AS the ensign declares the nationality of the ship it floats over. it is displayed in the harbor, but never at sea, except ing, of course. upon the approach of man-of-war of our own or foreign navy. It flies either from the peak. or the gaff on the aftermast, or from flagstaff astern. and is hoisted every morning at eight o'clock with beftting ceremonies. If the vessel is a flagship the band plays, the marines music of ougle and drum is sounded. and every body faces aft and uncovers in honor of the stars and stripes. This is undoubt- edly the prettiest ceremony on board man-of-war. The music at the hoist ing of the ensign is the Star SpangIed banner;' at the lowering. which takes place at sunset, it is Hail Columbia. 2 When at anchor and in first-class trim,

station, and special honor is intended to the power whose guest the vessel is, the ship is dressed in what the sailor calls.t the rainbow" which is a continu- ous line of flags going over all the masts and descending to the waters edge at bow and stern. The stars and stripes float from each masthead except the main, where the ship displays the flag of the country to which it is intended to show respect.
 When a new commanding officer takes charge of a ship, if the vessel Ilas been out of commission, the commandant of the navy yard hands over the vessel to it's future commander. The entire crew is mustered or deck. there is music, the executive officer of the ship gives the order: Hoist the ensign, break the pen. nant," the stars and stripes float alofts and the pennant rises, the latter never to come down until the commanding of ficer ceases to command the ship If he dies at sea, all flags are dismasted as the body is dropped into the waves, and salute of as many minute guns as the deceased officer was entitled to in lifeis given. If the vessel forms part of fleet, division or squadron, the firing IS done by the flagship. As the last gun is fired the personal flag of the dead off cer is hauled down. When a commander dies in port his pennant is half-masted until sunset of the day on which the funeral services are held, when the body is sent ashore all the men-of-war pres ent half-hast their flags.
 Here IS the official description of the nations flag:
 'Ensigns shall have 13 horizontal stripes of equal breadth, alternately red and white. beginning with the red Tn the upper quarter, next to the head of the ensign, IS the union, composed of a number or white stars equal to the number of states. on blue field four-tenths the entire length of the ensign. extending as far down as the lower edge of the fourth req stripe from the head The whole depth or hoist of the ensign shall be en-nineteenths Of it's whole length or fly.
 Union jacks shall be the same in di-. mensions and have the same number of stars as the union of the ensign.
 '.'ro comply with the provisions of Sec tfon 1792 of the revised statutes of the United States the union of the national ensign and the union jack used by the naval service shall. on and after July 4, 1896, contain 45 stars, arranged in six roWs,1 the first, third and fifth rows to have eight stars, and the second, fourth and sixth lows to have seven stars, as follows

DEATH OF MRS. H. R. TERRELL

dice and its complications, she having
been i'll a little over two weeks. Mrs.
Terrell was the daughter of Henry and

a bright little girl, now aged 5 years,
was born TO them, but two orphan chill
drsn. Fred and Louie Terrell, son and
daughter of Dr.. FerrelFs eldest brother,

them.
Mrs. Terrell was raised a Lutheran.

member of Zion German Church at
Wheeling, Of which she was a consistent
member until her removal to Washing

time. and family. Although but a short
time a resident OF this place. with her
