counted ten per cent. in all our cotton
mills, and the Republican party still
lives.'
Mr.. Bryan responded as follows:
al have not ced the reduction of wages
in New England, and while l have not
sufficient knowledge of all the facts to
enable me to pass Judgment, it seems to
me that the reduction is hardly in Keep.

and Daughter Lost Their Lives.
Richmond, Feb. 5.-Information re ch-
ed here last NIGHT of Il sad and horrible
accident which occurred in King George
county on Wednesday, by which Mrs.
Thaddeus Sorrel and {, Young daughter of
hers were so badly burned that they died
within few hours of each other. Mr..
Sorrel was away hunting, and his wife
having some domestic duties to perform,
left the little girl alone in the kitchen.
She had been absent, however, but n
short while when she heard screams, and
on entering the room found the child's
clothing ablaze. She Immediately began
TO eNtinguish the flames, but in doing so
was horribly burned hersele. The child
died few hours later. The next morn
lug death relieved Mrs Sorrel of her
suffering. Mr. Sorrel is almost prostra-
ted with grief.

Handsome and Expensive Weapon
Presented to the Naval Hero.

Rear Admiral Schley was presented
handsome and costly sword, scabbard and
belt on behalf of the people of Philadelphia
and other cities in Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey and Delaware, who contributed to a
fund esta biished for the purpose. The cere-
mony took place in the Temple Baptist

Marine Corps, who distinguished himself
during the battel of Santiago by clambering
out on the muZzle of one of the cruiser
Brooklyn's big guns during a heavy fire
and removing a loaded shell which had be-
come fastened in the breech.
There was a large and enthusiastic audi
ence present, and speeches We're made by
behalf of the state and city. Governor
elect Stone also spoke in high terms of Ad
miral Schley and his achievements
The admiral, in accepting the gift, thank
ed the people and said:
Let me hope with you, that in Gods
providence, it may never be drawn without
reason, but if it ever should be so willed
that it must be, it will never be sheathed
except in your greater honor"
The sword scabbard and belt represent
cost of 81, 200. The blade is of fine Damas-
Gus steel, appropriately engraved, and the
hilt is elaborltely decorated with diamonds
and other precious stones.

FLAG ORDERED DOWN.
Mai. Harrison Raised Old Glory Pre-
matmreIy Mt Havana.


A dispatch from Havana yesterday, says:
Maj. Russell Harrison, the provost marshal,
who, on Tuesday, raised the stars and
stripes over Fort Atares without orders
and in contravention of the promise of the
United States evacuation commission that
no American flags should be raised in Ha-
vana or its suburbs until January l, was
today formally reprimanded by Maj Gen.
Lee, and instructed to lower the flag Lieut..
Lee reported a few hours later to head
quarters that the flag had been lowered.
Nevertheless, at the hour of filing this
dispatch, 4:30 pm, it is still flying on a
tall staff over the famous fort, plainly Wis
ible from the harbor and city
Maj. Gen. Lee, having received cable
dispatch from Secretary Alger saying that
the Secretary of War understood there
We're thousands of persons starving in Ha-
Vana and directing him to feed them with
out delay" Immediately ordered Lieut. Col
Wood to distribute ratons and to make
systematic efforts to feed the helpless care
fully avoiding waste. There are hundreds
in Havana today who. though not actually
starving, are in deplorable state of weak
ness and disease, the effects of the cruel re-
concentration policy. They need hospital
treatment, which is not always available
Much of the wretchedneSs Is due to the
neglected condition of the tenements. Every
day so the relief distributors come upon
dead bodies terribly emaciated. Two were
found in the suburb of Cerro yesterday 1t

fessional vagrant and the really deserving
cases. but the committees with local knowl-
edge are able to render excellent service

Major Dunwoody Of the signal service has
arrived in Havana. and has been ordered
to report for duty as chief signal officer on

of all telegraph and telephone lines in Gu

Fifty-Two Christmas Gifts a Year

A Christmas present that comes not once
a year. but fifty-two times, is a present
well worth receiving, and well worth CIV
ing. Such present is supplied by a sub
scription to the Saturday Star. 1t comes
every week and each time brings a wealth
yet 1t gives vastly more pleasure than a
much greater sum could give if expended in
any other possible way. Order it sent to
some out-of-town friend, and you may rest
assured that one, at least, of your Christ
mas gifts will be thoroughly appreciated
many times. 1t will be Christmas once a
week to the fortunate recipient.
