POINTS ABOUT FLAGS.
The Two-Starred Flag on the Govern
Or's Island Tug.

The president of the United States
has his very gorgeous flag; the sec
rotary of the navy and the assistant
secretary have their flags; admirals
have theirs, and so do commodores;
but it isn't known very widely, perhaps,
that generals of the army also have
flags, which are hoisted sometimes, says
the New York Sun. The other day the
Governors Island tug left the land
ing at the Battery with a little blue
flag on her center flagstaff; on the
blue field of the flag were two white
stars. The major general command
ing the department of the east was on
the tug, and the little blue flag sig
nailed the fact to all who saw it and
knew what it meant. To those who
didn't know what it meant, it seemed
as if the flag was simply the remains
of ful-sized American flag, the rest
OF which had been blown away during
its faithful service. The flag gave
warning to the Governors Islanders
that the general was coming, and so let
them prepare to receive him as regula'
tions prescribe.
The blue flag with white stars hoist
ed at the bow of one of our men-of-war
when in port is the jack, and is run up
on the jack staff. 1t is sign that the
vessel is in shipshape. When the ships
wNsh goes up to dry, the jack comes
down, because not even the best of
ships is in order with the wash flap-
ping in the breeze. If the wash is up,
and the vessel suddenly has to fire a
salute, down comes the wash; because
vessel with its wash up isn't in fit
condition to do the polite. AS soon
as the wash is hauled down, up goes
the jack, and the salute is fired. Then
down comes the jack, and up goes the
wash again.

One of the attractions of a certain
Chestnut street cafe is a beautiful
Angora cat, which is generally very
mild-mannered and ladylike. says the
Philadelphia Record. The cat passes
most Of her time sitting upon the cash
ier's desk. She was posing there one
day recently when the star customer
went up to the desk to pay for his noon
day meal.
did you ever tickle cats nose with
a toothpick?" the patron asked of the
cashier. ut has an awfully funny eff
feet on the animal. Makes it sleepy"
He had a toothpick in his hand, and
offering it to the cashier. said: Take
this and tickle the cat there with it,"
The cashier took the little splinter of
wood and passed the end of it over the
nose of the drowsy Angora. The next
instant puss emitted a scream of
anguish and leaped many feet into the
air. With tail erect she clambered up
the wall, jumped over the bar, over
turned a number of glasses and bottles
and finally disappeared through an open
trap into the cellar, where for five min
utes she seemed to be having a fit. The
cashier was pallid with fear. He
couldn't imagine what had happened
and the star customer had suddenly dis
appeared. After awhile the cashier ex-
amined the toothpick and found that
the end which had tickled the cats nose
had been generously daubed with to-
basco sauce.

The Tame Fox.

Southey's story is of tame fox at
Bridgewater which had been brought
UP from cub to run In the wheel as
turnspit. One day, however, his vaga-
bond instincts proved too much for him
and he determined to take holiday.
The feshpots Of his Egypt were as dust
and ashes to his palate compared with
the chickens of his own selection. I'm
fortunately be chose the hunting sea-
son for his excursion and soon came in
contact with his hereditary prosecutors.
He evidently determined to give them
good run, for he took them twice
through a stream called Parrot, after
grand circumtendibus. which involved
a chase of nearly thirty miles; he made
his way back with hounds in full cry
and, reentering the kitchen, resumed
operations In the wheel with SIS much
unconcern as though he had never left
it. The fat cook, with whom he was
great favorite, succeeded in beating the
hounds off until the arrival of the hunts
man, who humanely assisted in saving
q life which, if sagacity and ingenuity
be virtues, well deserved to be spared.

Hope springs eternal in the human

pessimist as apprehensive as Senator

This worthy was possessed of unusual
intelligence, a pretty wit, and had a
creditable knowledge of current politics,
but he took a pessimistic view of the
state of the country.
On the money question he had
thought long and deeply, and had de-
veloped system of his own for carry
ing on the financial affairs of the ma
ton. He had eccentric and original
views on the civil service, and in regard
to foreign matters he outjingoed the
jingoes.
The ideas and views of this fisherman
were SO radically opposed to the ideas
and views of the man who represents
that region in the senate that it was;
an invariable surprise to the visiting
lawyer when he wound up his remarks,
as he always did:

The conductor handed five pennies in

requested that nickel be given to her
instead. as she had no purse and the
pennies would probably be lost. Gentle

will buy just as much as a nickel" The
woman remained silent and the COLI

to pay his fare touched the lady's arm

MoRAvIAN VIEW OF DEATH.

Beautiful and Impressive Custom
of the MOravians.
Clifford Howard contributes to the
Ladies' Home journal an interesting
article upon the Moravians of Bethle-
hem, Pa, and their religious customs:
Upon the death of one of the con-
gregation," he writes, "the event is an
nounced, not by the monotonous,
mournful tolling of the bell, but
by the deep-breathing, melodious
music of trombones, played in the open
belfry steeple of the church by the
trombone choir; and as the deep, sweet
notes of the familiar hymn are borne
to the people below they reverently
drop their work to listen. 'Hark!' they
whisper, the horns are blowing; some
one has gone home!' Gone home!'-
perhaps nothing more beautifully ex-
emplifies the perfect, unquestioning
faith of these devout people than that
expressive utterance, the sincerity of
which is ever demonstrated by the lack
of mourning at the passing away of a
member of the household, however
dearly beloved; so true and heartfelt is
the Morayian belief that death is but
the entrance to a brighter, happier
home. The trombones are also used at
the touching funeral services held at
the grave; and amid their sad, yet in
spring, strains the departed one is laid
to his eternal rest. On all occasions,
whether of death or joy, the trombones
lend their sweet solemnity in fitting
breath. From the steeple they herald
the festival day of each of the choirs,
and in all open-air services their mel
lihuous tones are ever present"

Anecdotes and Incidents Concerning

Powerful Texas Judge.
Texas is big state and has a large
population, including many men OF
great prominence, says Lesfie's Weekly.
But there is no man in that whole SOW
ereignty with more refulgent glory
than Judge Roy Bean, of Langtry, who
declares that he is the ''law west of the
Pecos." And he is. West of the Pecos
river, in Texas, there are no limitations
TO Judge Beans Jurisdiction, and he
does not, as has been limited, let mere
statutes, "as in such case made and pro-
tided," influenced him to any great ex-
tent in his desire to make the pun
isment fit the crime. There is an anec-
dote told of him where he sat as coro-
ner and held an inquest on the body OF
a man who had met a violent death by
falling from the great railway bridge
that spans the Pecos river. An examin-
alton showed that the man had a re-
volver and $40 in cash In his pockets
when he was killed. After swearing in
a jury and looking over the effects OF
the dead man. Judge Bean said: Seen
tlemen Of the jury, there amt no doubt
how this man came to his death; that's
all plain; but what would like to know
is why in the name of thunder he car
ried that gun. Now, gentlemen, it's
agin the law to carry concealed and
loaded gun in the state of Texas, and
fist because this gentleman took it into
his head to get killed l don't me an to let
him offend the peace and dignity of
Texas I fine him $40" This is an ex-
ample of Judge Beams efficient adj
ministration. Some day his decisions
will be published and then we will
have for the first time clear under
standing of the law of the frontier.

MADE MISERABLE BY "I3.'
This Conductor Has Good Reason tC
be SuperBtitious.

No more firm believer in the proven
bal bad luck associated with the num-
her 10 is to be found in the city than
Conductor Samuel Sharp, of German
iowa local train, says the Philadelphia
Record. His parents had 10 children, OF
whom he was the youngest, and none of
them ever prospered. AS the thirteenth
child, however, Samuel has had more
troubles than any of his brothers and
sisters. After countless mishaps dur
ing his school days he started in to earn
his living as newsboy on the cars
when he was 10 years of age. One Fri
day, the 18th day of the month, not
long after he entered the service, there
was wreck on the road and he was
laid up in hospital with couple OF
broken ribs for 10 weeks.
Some years later, when a brakeman,
his uncle died and left him $1,000, but
Just as he was about to get married on
the money the bank failed and he lost
II all, feeling, of course, more disap-
pointed than if it had never been left to
him. Gradually he worked his way up
and became baggage master, and then
he did marry. Unwittingly, however,
he went TO housekeeping at 1913 South
Thirteenth street and his young wife
died within the year, leaving him brok-
en-hearted. Since he has been conduc-
tor his train has run over 10 men and
he hopes that he has now reached the
limit. 1t is an utter impossibility to
get him to punch the 18th trip on COM
mutation ticket, and when hard pressed
he hands his punch to the passenger
with the request to do it for him.
