mounted by a cross. The pole is situated
just in front of the chapel door and on
this will be raised the first church flag
ever displayed in America.
The exact design which will appear
upon the flag has notas yet been fully
determined, but Bishop Coleman is in
close consultation with several distin-
guished Protestant Episcopal divines and
friends, and expects to have the entire
matter finally arranged in very short
time. The flag will be made by the w.
II. Harstman Company of Philadelphia.
1t is quite probable that the flag will be
quartered by line running perpendicu-
lar and cut at right angles by parallel
stripe. In the two left hand spaces it is
probable that some design Of the church
will appear, while to the right will be
found Latin verses. The color of the flag
is as yet to be decided
This important movement is one of
great national religious significance, and
when the institution is squarely launched
the wheels of the religious world will be
set agog by comment upon the act. Or
ganizations Of more or less Importance
have adopted emblematic banners, and
some few have attempted to adopt flag,
but never has any organization in Amer
lea adopted flag as its emblem. The
flag is associated first, last, and all the
time with civil governments, and the ad-
vent of the flag of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church of America, which may be
adopted by all Christian churches, will
be heralded as an event of national inn
portance and significance, and the effect
Of its coming will be eagerly noted.

4 NOVELTY IN NECkWEAR.
The Young Man About Town now
Wears Rubber Collars.

Time was, and not so long ago either
that the man who wore one of those shiny
frauds known as zylonite, celluloid and
other ties and oids, was not only pain
fully conscious that he wasn't wearing
linen, but he knew that everybody else
was sure to recognize the fact as soon as
they glanced :at it. Its lustre was that
of polished metal, until age had touched
its immaculate stiffness, when it took on
the hue of old ivory, and the exposed
edges and points, cracked and disrepu-
table, looked as though touched with a
copperas green.
Now, all this is changed and the young
man whose laundry bill has struck dis
may to his heart, rejoices in a collar OF
rubber, made in any degree of polish,
from the dead starchy white of the
household wash to the glossy finish OF the
steam laundry.
The old time vanishing point OF this
triumph of laundry haberdasherie has
not been estimated however. Rain or
shine, that collar will hold its own. The
traces of a hard hours work at putting
up stove pipe can be removed from its
surface as easily as one would wash his
hands. You can play base ball in that
collar with the thermometer at ninety in
the shade and it will stand up like rock.
But the agent of the company won't
guarantee his product against fire.
Let the flames touch that collar and
there is fire like the burning of Mos
COW and an odor as Of burning glue
factory.
However, as the average man does
not usually hang his collar on the gas
let except on rare occasions, he would in
all probability consider the consequence
of such an act as only a fitting finale to
his evening enjoyment. BE that as it
may there are many young men whose
collars stand wet weather with great
fortitude, and when curiosity gets the
better of judgment to the point OF see
ing information, the answer is usually

labored, increasingly, to remove the
debris from their comrades, not knowing
whether they should find all dead OR
any living.
In the meantime, DR.. J. r. V. Block
som, of Second and West streets, had
been sent for, and was at the scene OF
the disaster.
The Delaware Hospital ambulance was
also on hand, waiting for any of the
workmen, who might be seriously, if not
fatally injured.
For short while the work progressed
without interruption. Then it was an

slightly injured from contact with the
falling wood. He was sent to his home.
Tillman Roe, who was slightly injured,
did not go home, but remained on the
ground.
When Elwood Caldwell was taken out
and examined, it was found that his
hips and legs were badly injured. He
was sent to his home in cab.
The workman, who escaped unhurt,
was Doricn Darlington.
Then commenced the work of hunting
for the last man, James I. smith,
he was dead.
The work had been continued for one
hour and forty minutes, when the lift

closed the legs of the missing man. Bal 8

The body of Smith was then taken out.
One of the beams in falling had struck
him fairly on the head, crushing it and
killing him instantly.
