A FLAG WITH A HISTORY.

There is an interesting story told of
the flag that futtered from the steeple
of Center church all through the war
of the rebellion. Recent references
made to the old flag, which is still pre-
served, recalls its story. The flag was
placed there by H. S. Hutchinson, as
sisted by a friend. Mr.. Hutchinson
was for many years ticket agent at the
old Derby depot and still living in this
city.
A lady who afterward became the
wife of Mr.. Hutchinson, together with
another lady, daughter of the late
Police officer Stuart was engaged in
making flags for Heman b. Allen &
Co., predecessors of Monson & Co., dry
goods dealers in this city. Flags and
bunting then, as at the present time,
were in great demand. The flags were
all hand sewed at that time. Mr.
Hutchinson, who was adept with the
sewing machine, observing the ladies
at their work volunteered to sew the
stars upon the banner with the ma
chine. This 49, did in so skillful a
manner that his work was much adj
mired. 1t was the first instance so far
as known where such work was done
by the machine. The flag was placed
in the steeple, as told, and was one of
the largest in the city at that time.

Polls Wonderland Theater.

The Biograph bits Of Cuba and the
war are showing their vivid realism to
crowded houses at the Wonderland
and the public interest is undated. 1t
is not surprising that people should be
so interested, in view of the stirring
news from the front. The striking pic
ture of Moro Castle and the moving
shipping is a most timely number, and
the same is true of the group Of recon-
centrados rushing to the relief station
for food. The wrecked Maine, the
moving battleships and the military
views are all apropos, and the addi-
tional series Of pictures showing the
fleet and prominent passengers prove
welcome sight to the throngs.
The feature of the vaudeville, played
in bright, snappy way by John G.
Fox and Miss Kate Allen, is the clever
little play 1.-THE Flat Next Door, Tt

CAKE WALKERS AT THE GRAND

CAKE WALKERS AT THE GRAND
TO-DAY.
The great public interest which is felt
in the cake walk" which takes place
at the Grand opera house this after
noon and evening is indicated by the
large demand for seats at the popular
scale Of prices. Matinees, 10c, 15c, CSC;
nounced as cake walk the entertain
nonuced as a cake walk the ntertain-
ment offered is far more than this.
Those who have not seen the darkies
of the south on their plantations in
the midst of revelry which attends one
of their cake walks can have no idea
of the hilarity which attends this per-
Torrance, which is an exact represen-
tation of the sports and pastimes in
the land of cotton. This organization
numbers over fifty of the finest sing
ers and dancers that the colored race
affords and includes many of the ack-
nowledged champion buck, wing and
acrobatic dancers. There are beaux
and bellies who in the intricate and
amusing mazes of the cake walk aston
ish all by the grace and spirit Of their
evolutions. This portion of the enter
tainment is radically different from
anything ever presented upon the stage
from the fact that the participants en-
ter into the walk with zeal animated
by an immense desire to win. This is
due to the fact that, it is considered
great distinction to win the cake
and great degree of rivalry exists
among the more expert walkers. La
dies don't forget the grand souvenir
| matinee this afternoon. Come early
and secure your seats.

STRANDED IN THIS CITY.
Two Colored Women in Search of En-.
pIoyment Run Short of Funds.

Two Colored Women in Search of En-
p1oyment Run Short of Funds.
Two respectable looking colored wo-
men, giving the names of Bell Foun-
tain and Lucy Herdgin, and claiming
Norfolk, Va, as their home, stranded
In this city yesterday and were taken
care of by Superintendent Preston of
the Organized Charities. According to
their story they received letter from
Mrs. Emily Crane of Hartford offering
them positions as servants, and they
were on their way to Hartford when
their supply of money gave out and
they were compelled to seek aid in this
city. The chief of police of Hartford
was teIephoned as to whether any one
by the above name resided in that city.
The answer was in the negative. On
an inspection of the letter which the
women possessed it was found to be
postmarked New Canaan. An inquiry
of the authorities at New Canaan re-
vealed the fact that a Mrs. Emily
Crane resided in that city. She will be
seen to-day and if the story of the col
ored women is found to be true they
will be sent to that city this afternoon.

Our Proposal to Increase 1t.

British Government Giving Attention to
Our Proposal to Increase 1t.
London, April 27.-Charles Macarthur,
chairman of the Association of Average
Adjusters, formerly president of the
Liverpool Chamber of Commerce,
pointed out in the house of commons
to-day that the bill before the United
States congress providing for the in
crease of taxes will be serious to Brit
ish trade and shipping. Mr.. Balfour
replied that the government would do
all it could to protect the interest of
British shipowners.
A deputation of members of parlia-
ment, representing the shipping con-
stituencies, waited upon the board of
trade and emphasized the importance
of the proposed increase in the tom
mage tax. One delegate said his firm
alone would be mulcted an additional
100000 yearly. Mr.. Richie, president,
replied that the government was fully
alive to the Importance of the matter.
They had communicated with the Brit
ish ambassador at Washington, Sir
Julian Pauncefote, and with the Eu-
ropean powers on the subject and joint
representations will be made on the
subject, pointing out the one-sidedness
of the proposition.
Replying to the inquiry by A. D. Pro-
wand, member for the Blackfriars di-
vision of Glasgow, Mr.. Balfour said
that negotiations with the United
States in regard to the arbitration
treaty were not now in progress

especial danger. England has had no
war that would involve that port since
the Napoleonic troubles, and, if we are
not mistaken, the city was never at
tackled. But it is wonderfully protect
ed. The citadel above the town, with
it's bristling guns and it's colors and
soldiers, is a picture in itself 1t means
something. The forts that line the har-
Dor are very strong and there are parts
of the waters where nobody, even in
time of entire peace, is permitted to
go. There is a beautiful park along the
seashore and as you ride through there
you come on forts hid away among the
trees.
There is a lesson in this for the peo-
pie of the United States. If war broke
out tomorrow between England and
any other first-class power nobody
would be specializing as to how soon
Halifax would be taken. It is not made
that way. Why should much greater
and more important places in this coun-
try be so near helpless that the pros
pect of war with a third-class power
creates justitable panic all along
thousands of miles Of seacoast? 1t is
simply because our people have been
led by a few demagogic cheese pairing
and vote-seelSing shouterS to think that
forts and guns and soldiers are not a
part of the outfit of a republic. The
old cry of reduce the army" did deal
of mischief. The stump talk during
profound peace that nobody dare at
tack us had it's effect, too, and I'M
questionably we were perfectly safe as
long as there was no danger. That is
often the case But, now that danger
has come, we have had to hustle ire
mendously, and to-day do not really
know how much protection we have.
We must get used to seeing soldiers on
our streets. We must have our harbors
ready for defense at a moments notice.
We must recognize that this country
is so big and has such large and in
volved interests that it must be able
to defend itself and them at all times.
This means a great deal, whether the
war with Spain assumes large proper
lions or peters out, as the optlmlsts
prophesy. We have our ports to fortl-
fy, up to the limit at least of self-re-
spect. We have soldiers to enlist in the
regular army. We have ships to build.
We are warned There can be no ex-
cuse for the United States being again
caught in the unprotected condition
that prevailed at the outbreak of the
Spanish difficulties. 1t cannot be too
often asserted that being ready for war
is often guaranty of peace.-Hartford

LESSON FROM NEXT DOOR.

Many people from this country have
visited Nova Scotia and have taken
Halifax in their trip. 1t is very pic
turesque city. Its dirt-begrimed build
ings do not show up attractively at
close inspection. But the general effect
is pleasing and even brilliant. Whoever
has been there remembers it and car
ries away vivid impression of it's life
and color.
True, there is brilliant harbor, and
sparkling water is always attractive.
But the real charm and the noteworthy
fact about Halifax is that it is so for
tilted and has such a gaudy sprinkling
of red-coats upon its streets. That is
Halifax, city of the fort, the fleet and
the soldier. Now Halifax is not in any

LAID AT REST.

Funeral of Mrs. Emil Crisand
The funeral of Mrs. Frederika Cri-
sand, beloved wife Of Emil Crisand,
took place yesterday afternoon, with
prayers at the residence of the be-
reaved family, No. 80 Vernon street,
and public services at the German
Baptist church on George street, of
which the deceased lady was for forty
years a much valued and useful MEM
Der. The pastor of the church, Rev.
Mr.. Meyer, delivered the funeral SER
mon, which was beautiful and appre-
ciative tribute to the memory of the
sleeper. In his address he spoke most
appropriately of the earnest sincere
Christian character of the deceased, of
her usefulness in the church, her devo-
ton to her home and loved ones and
her kindly, charitable spirit which had
blessed many homes and hearts. There
was a large attendance at the services
despite the inclement weather and
there We're many eyes wet with tears
as the preacher recalled the life and
services of the deceased and spoke of
the loss sustained in her departure.
There We're beautiful floral tributes.
The choir of the church sang finely
various selections appropriate to the
sad occasion. All of the children Of
the deceased We're present at the flu
neral, DIR. Carl Crisand of Worcester,
Mass, Joseph Crisand, a wholesale
shoe dealer of Chicago, and a daugh-
ter and son-in-law from Boston, Mass.
The interment was in Evergreen ceme-
terry. Stahl & Son were the funeral di-
rectorS.

SALE OF GARMENTS.
Held BY the United Workers Yesterday
Morning.

Morning.
The semi-annual sale of garments
conducted by the members of the Unit
ed Workers at their building, 200
Orange street, yesterday morning, was
not very largely attended because of
the stormy weather. During the Win
ter months the ladies of the organiza-
ton purchase suitable goods by the
wholesale and then employ poor women
in making up the goods into articles Of
clothing, sheets, pillow cases, etc, and
in the spring conduct public sale of
the same. The object is certainly a
very worthy one and the sale is gener-
ally highly successful. The proceeds of
the sale are used to purchase goods
with which to give employment for the
next winter. All the garments left
over from yesterdays sale will be dis
tributed among the two hospitals and
other charitable institutions.

THE SHENANDOAH SAFE.

Liverpool, April 2S.-The four-masted
American ship Shenandoah arrived
here safely this afternoon.
The tug Rathlin met the Shenandoah
off the South Coast Of Ireland and
towed her to Point Lynas for $1,000, as
the commander of the Shenandoah
was unwilling to risk her being inter-
cepted Her cargo, owing to the adj
vance in the price of wheat, is worth
$250,000.
The members of the crew of the Shen-
andoah were greatly excited when the
tug Rathlin informed them that war
between Spain and the United States
had broken out. Captain Murphy says
that on Monday evening last he sighted
what he believes were two Spanish
cruisers, but the vessels were too far
distant for him to be certain that they
were warships of the enemy.
