BIGGEST OF AMERICAN FLAG
New Jersey Girl Is Making 1t to Raise

is making the biggest American nag

well-known person in the east has al

and Frank R. Stockton, writing to the
New York Herald, speaks of her effort
as follows: This unique specimen OF
the stars and stripes is to be 100 feet In
length and of proportionate width. The
blue field will be forty feet square;
each of the forty-fve stars will be two
feet five inches in diameter, and alto

peculiar merit Of this flag, however

BENEFITS OF CoLFlNC.
It is a Promoter of Health and Devel-
Oper Of Muscle.

H. J. Whigham, the former amateur
champion golf player of America, makes
the following statement in the New
York Journal: OF all sports popular to
any degree with the people of this
country to-day 1 think the game Of
golf supplies a place that has been
empty for years.
After young man has been through
college and has followed football and
sports of nature that call for every
ounce of exertion in mans lody, he
looks to something with which to
stone down." if it may be put that
way. He does not want to 60 out OF
athletic training. Golf gives to him
the exercise he desires.
I do not mean to say that only the
young can play golf. Far from that.
It is an old mans game, as we'll as that
of young man. ANY good, healthy
American citizen up to fifty years of
age-in some cases of more years-can
play golf, and play it with enjoyment:
It brings out the fine points in all
athletes and men of athletic tendency.
The skill required equals that of any
game known to men. Dellcacy OF
of touch is as much necessity as it is
to the billiard player.
Essentially it is a healthy game. 1t
takes a man around miles of excellent
outdoor surroundings. My opinion is
that tennis does not carry you far
enough. 1t gives you exercise, butte
large extent it must he limited ex'
ercise. You are in confines; there
you must stay. Golf has its confines
but not bounded by feet, but by yards
What has it done for me? Well, i
has kept me in excellent health, fol
one thing. 1t has brought me out o
doors. It brings business men out o
doors. It is very likely to revolu
tionize the lives of business men II
? this country, as it is pleasant pas
time, that takes them away from car
, after business hours.
r It is not so popular at present as
, will be. This is almost entirely du
to climatic conditions which necessI
tate expensive links.
In England it is the poor man
: game. Some day it may be so in TIL

LONDON. Pail Mall Gazette
says: England has been and even
now is so near war that the govern
ment has carried its preparations to
the fartherest limit of the preparatory
stage. It has been arranged to call
out the naval reserves and military and
to mobilize the volunteers simultane-
ously and to form large camps at varl-
GUS important railroad functions where
rolling stock and locomotives will be
concentrated.
Most of the papers are full OF il
legged war preparations despite tbs un-
doubted fact that the authorities are
doing their hest to discourage publ
cation and are even denying statements
that have already appeared.
Sudden orders were received at
Dover Monday for an experimental
mobilization of the defense forces. AL
the heights and forts were smartly oc-
cupied in manner giving full salts

The arsenal at Woolwich is working
until II o'clock every night, the gov
eminent having given large orders for
guns, search lights and other naval
equipment.
The British channel squadron has
cast anchor off Gibraltar. The adj
vices from Paris in the special dis
patches Monday morning add little tt
what was already known regarding thu
situation at Fashoda. 1t is believed
that Capt. Baratier is taking onl!
verbal instructions for Maj. Marchand
The idea prevails at the French
capital that Count Muraviefs the Rus
sian foreign minister, while on his re

in reopening the whole Egyptian ques
ton, and that Maj. Marchand will b
instructed to fall back and maintain
, his occupation of all Rhar-El- Gael.

The Learned Doctors Views About His Cure
 for Yellow Fever.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
 Dr. Giuseppe Sanarelli, who is only thir- ty-four years old, the discoverer of the specific, has just arrived in Rome, and his account of his work may be of interest Dr. Sanarelli was well prepared. He studied first at Pavia-the best medical university in Italy-then at Munich, and afterward under Pasteur in Paris. Three years ago he was called by the government of Uru- quay to found an institute of hygiene at Montevideo.
 q started" he said, with the intention of deyoting my whole energies to yellow fever, so on my arrival at Montevideo l shut myself up on the Isle of Flores, where there is a lazaretto. There I followed the course of the disease from the beginning to the usual fatal end, trying to find the terrible microbe The first results were most encouraging, but finally, in the blood of still living man, found character istc micro organism present in great quan- titles in the body. After long and labori- ous research, 1 produced powerful toxine, which, in animals, produced all the phe- nomena of yellow fever. With human beings the result was extraordinary. Bra gil at once begged me to go to the state of
 
 time containing 27,000 inhabitants, today re- duced to 1G00, is most potent center of infection. It is city of empty houses and deserted streets, the few inhabitants all dying or convalescent. .The mortality in the hospitals had been ST to 90 per cent. i; with the toxine it was reduced to 27 per cent.
 ''We tried the cure in the jails with great success. Formerly when one case in the prisons or barracks broke out all the pris- oners contracted the disease. During my sojourn at San Carlo do Pinhal prisoner died; the others were at once injected with serum, and not one had it. The people really give me more credit than is my due They seem crazy with joy, but it is a re- prieve from death for a very large propor- tion of the population The origin of the bacillus is heat and damp It is in the air, and so very much more difficult to reach The difficulty at present is to obtain suff1- cient serum, but I hope that difficulty will soon be overcome"

wAsHINGsON TRAGEDIES

From the New York Press.
 Many sad bereavements have followed in the wake of Washington official life since MT. Cleveland became president, in 1885. Three presidents have died-Grant, Hayes and Arthur. Daniel Manning died of over work while Cleveland's secretary of the treasury. William Windom, while holding the same office under Harrison, dropped dead at a banquet in Delmonico's. James G. Blaine died of broken heart soon after retiring from the office of secretary of state. Vice-President Hendricks died. Mrs. Harrison, wife of the president, died. Gresham, secretary of state, died. Miss Kate Bayard, daughter of Cleveland's sec retary of state in his first administration, killed herself with chloral. Miss Daisy Garland, daughter of Attorney-General Garland, killed herself with pistol. Miss Leila Herbert, daughter of the secretary of the navy, killed herself by jumping from a third-story window. The afflicton that fefl upon Secretary Tracy is almost too dreadful to mention. Mrs. William c. Whitney, wife of MT. Clevelands secretary of the navy, died in 1S9S Only a few months ago John G. Carlisle, MT. Cleve- lands secretary of the treasury, lost his son, Logan, and on Tuesday his only re- maining child, William K. Carlisle, passed away. It is long list. Perhaps there are others whom have overlooked in the hur- ry of recollection.
