lNORWAY'S NEW FLAG.
Mark OF Union With. Sweden is
eDrOpped OUT

The subjoined translation, clipped
from the Daily Mail, London, has in
terested very much the Scandinavian
colony OF this place, as well as the
thousands OF the people Of the race in
the States. The Information is given
TO the Advertiser that the king was
against the change that has been made,
but that the law making body, In ac-
cordance with the Constitution, pass
ed the enactment three times. 1t Is the
first time the veto has thus been at
tempted, and it was a failure. The
king holds that the change in the flag
Is a big step In the direction OF a
break OF the united nations. This IS
the statement concerning the flag:
Norway has Just come to the most
extraordinary decision arrived at by
any government for some time.
Hitherto the Norwegian flag has in
cluded the emblem OF union with Swe-
den. By practically unanimous vote
the Storthlng has now resolved to in
troduce flag that will take no cognI-
sance OF Sweden, but will be purely
Norwegian.
The Storthlng consists OF ia mem
bers, and the fact OF there having been
only one dissentlent vote, when the
motion for the new flag was adopted
shows the almost unanimous opinion
Of the members on the subject, and
also demonstrates the independent
feeling that exists towards Sweden
Up to the present the flag OF Norway
has consisted OF a blue cross on a red
ground, and in its upper left-hand
quarter a small red, blue and yellow
design which Is supposed to denote the
union with Sweden. 1t is the omission
OF the latter which will constitute the
change.
Incidentally 1t may be mentioned
that Norway possesses the largest mer
camille feet in the world excepting tina
Of England.

Myrtle. l.. q. Chapman. OF San Fran
cisco, was her owner, and for a num-
Der OF years she was the crack flyer
on the bay there, and was the winner
of many hard fo0ght races. She was
brought down here in 1855 by John
Patty and w. c. Sproull, and Col. Fish
er and Bruce Cartwright were also part
owners of her.
At this time she was a Center-board
boat, with a draft OF about feet Z
inches. When brought into competi-
ton with the Honolulu yachts she did
not make so good "A showing as she
had on the coast, Either the boats
here were faster than those OF the
coast, or the changes which were made
in her rig had made her slower. At
any event she gathered no more racing
Iaurels, but gained an enviable repu-
tation as a staunch and seaworthy
craft. At this time she sailed under
the name OF Spray. by which name she
Is best known here.
Later on the Spray was sold to Pat
Curtis and he changed her from CEN
terboard TO keel boat and made other
alterations. During the term OF his
ownership her experiences were varied
and in many cases most exciting. At
one time Capt. Cook went through a
heavy kona in the channel, in her,
without mishap worth mention. She
was several times reported 10 De IN the
opium smuggling business and was
Cnite a nrominent figure IN revolution
arv t,mes some lime ago she was sold
"a CLARENCE Nacf Jane who reftted

and rechrIstened her the Alice" When
Mr. Nacfarlane built his new residence
at the Peninsula he transported all OF
his material that was not too bulky
in the yacht. One dark night he got
aground near the shark pond, off Pun
Ioa. and was hard and fast for several
hours.
She has now passed into the posses
sion of Capt. Johnson. and he will soon
nut her on the WAYS and give her hull
n thorough oyerhauling. which will
make a practically new boat Of her
Her present dimensions are: Length
over all. 81 feet 3 inches: load water

The Captain expects to re-chrlster
her when he overhauls her and it Is
quite possible that under his able
management she will again take place
in the front rank Of the race winners
OF the first class.

DELANEY'S PARADISE.
What 1t Costs to Keep One Man in Official
Splendor.

In 1895 Daniel ii. Hastings approved a
bill which had, for its first object, the
placing of one John c. Delaney in a snug
berth with a large salary and larger
perquistes. This gentleman was APP
pointed superintendent of public prop
erty, with a salary of $4,000, ap-
propriated for his sole benefit for
every two years he would remain
in office, and to this was added a gen.
eral contingent fund of $4,000, and an
other sum of $3.50 to meet the ex-
penses of keeping the grounds and
buildings in order. To the five watch
men at $1,000 for each two years were
added one night watchman, at 81, 800;
one mechanic, $1,S00; one booltkeeper,
$4,000; one gardener, $1,000; one assist
ant gardener, $1,S00; one sergeant of
police, $1,000; two elevator men, 81, 600;
one secretary to the board of public
buildings and grounds, $500; one extra
clerk, $500; extra salary of auditor gem
eral as a member of the board of pub
lie buildings and grounds. $1,000; extra
salary of the stat2 treasurer as a mem
Der of the same board, $1,000, making

increase of 10 over 1883, and biennial
salary account of 1874, 4,500, an increase
in salaries over 1888 and 1884 of $22,-

SWALLOWS CHANCES.
Absurd Claims of His Managers--Cal
Do No More Than Help Quayism.

Absurd Claims of His Managers--Can
DO No More Than Help Quayism.
The chairman of the Prohibition state
committee is a gentleman by the name
of Jones, and he is rapidly attaining
celebrity as the most extraordinary
political counter in the business. Last
year he had the Rev. Swallow elected
state treasurer by a considerable ma
jority. And, Notwithstanding the fact
that Swallow polled less than half as
many votes, or more than 124, ,0O0 fewer
than Brown, the Democratic candl-
date for the same office, and $50 900 less
than Ritter, the Democratic candidate
for auditor general. Jones is as jubilant
as ever, and certain that Swallow will
beat jerks, and all but certain that
he will be elected governor. Here are
the exact figures from the record:
Brown D.. for state treasurer. .242, ,731
Swallow, p, for state treaurer Ills. .969
Brown over Swallow ...........123, ,7G2
The difference between the Brown
and the Ritter vote, 25,G10, probably
represents, approximately, the num-
Der of Democrats that voted for Swal-
low last year But the Democratic
party was then very much demorali2ed
and disheartened and, besides this loss
of $4,000 to Swallow suffered to far
larger extent from stay-at-home voters
This year all the divisions of the party
are united and the Democratic ticket
Is one that enlists the esteem and in
spires the confidence of every Demo-
cratic voter, to say nothing of the great
number of Independent Republicans
who have already pledged Mr.. jerks
their support. Under these Circum-
stances not a tithe of the Democrats
who voted for Swallow last year can
be expected to do so this year, and,
instead of beating jerks there is as
much chance of the overlooking lava
of Vesuvius extending to and making
a second Pompei of New York, as of
his coming as close to jerks as he did
to Brown last year.
No great astuteness or skill in
calculation is needed to understand the
clearness of all this. 1t is plain as the
sun at high noon. The most the highly
impractical head of the Prohibition
forces can do is to help Quayism by
enlsting independent Republican sup
port that would otherwise come to
jerks. The few Democrats who have
been, up to now, talking about voting
for Swallow will be brought TO com
prehend this long before election day
comes around. So will many of that
class of Independent Republicans who
are sincerely anxious to rid the state
of Quayism.
jerks is a growing candidate. Every
where he goes, or his friends go, his
support is increased. Swallow is far
stronger today than he will be month
hence though he is not now, and never
was, strong enough to come within
many thousands Of the lowest vote
ever cast by the Democrats in the
state.

the sinking fund commission and a
member of the board of revenue COM
missioners, and there would be some
chance of getting at the books of the
treasury.

done in the legislature is prompted by

We want both Democratic legislature
and Democratic state officials, but if
we can have only one of these boons
the latter is plainly calculated to mete
out to us the largest share of relief"

Ledxer.s Former Greatness

The New York Ledger is one of
the best known newspapers in
America 1t was founded by Robt.
Bonner in 1852, and the success OF
the Ledger was due largely to his
shrewd advertising methods. Bon
ner thought nothing of buying a
page at time in the leading papers
and it is said his advertising bills
amounted 20 at least quarter OF a
million dollars year. An incident
i'll the advertising methods of Mr..
Bonner was when he sent a short
sentence to the publisher of the
New York Tribune, with directions
to repeat in the usual type of the
paper to fill the space Of one page
The publisher Of the Tribune re
fused to take that ad. James Cor
don Bennett learned Of the inCideut
and sent word to Mr.. Bonner that
he could repeat the advertisement
in any issue Of the Herald in any
form and to any extent that he de
sired. The Herald was then an
eight page paper. Mr.. Bonner
sent his ad. to the Herald with an
order for eight pages. Bennett
grasped the situation and doubled
The size of the Herald. The editor
and publisher of the Ledger had no
further trouble in getting ali the
space in the daily papers that he
chose to occupy. The Ledger's
circulation grew to tremendous
proportions. The biggest free ad-
vertisement he ever received was
when he offered Fanny Fern 500
column to write for the Ledger.
The newspapers throughout the
country published his extravaganza
broadcast, and Mr.. Bonner estimat-
ed that his paper prohted at least
$4,000 by the arrangement. He
also at one time paid Henry Ward
Beecher $4,000 for novel, which
was worth to the Ledger, at least,
four times what 1t cost. Robert
Bonner had the story paper instinct
strongly developed. He read him
self every word printed in his news
paper and also all the manuscripts
submitted, himself selecting what
he deemed best. The contributor,
no matter how modest and humble
or how we'll known and proud, was
always 'courteously received by the
proprietor, who advanced from his
private office to return a story or
deliver a check. Estate.
