if the American supply were entire

THE ORIGINAL FLAG DAY.

Third, which every child in or
near Philadelphia should visit,
and whose history every child in
the, United States should know.
| Here it was that the first flag of
the United States was made.
Very many years ago the bricks
of which the house was built were
brought to this country as ballast
in the old ship welcome, and Will
liam Penn himself supervised the
construction, and in those days 1T
was considered quite a pretentious
dwelling. This home was occu-
pied by two quaker ladies, Betsy
Ross. widow of John Ross, and
her daughter.
Early in 1777 Congress delega-
ted q committee authority to de-
sign a flag suitable for the United
States. Betsy Ross had long been
known to the residents of Phila-
delphia as an exceedingly skillful
needle woman, SO when the ques-
ton by whom should the flag be
made arose, General Washington
at once thought of the gentle
woman, Betsy Ross, and in COM
| pany with Robert Morris and
Colonel Ross called at the quaint
little home on Arch street, and
finding Betsy Ross at home, at
once explained to her the object
of their visit.
The design for the flag was from
a pencil drawing made by General
Washington, and the flag thus de-
signed was adopted by a resolu-
! ton of Congress on June IA, 1777.
| There was, however, one altera-
ltion made, which was suggested
by Betsy Ross, and which showed
her patriotism. The general hav-
ing taken from his pocket a draw
| ing of the flag as it was proposed
| it should be made, was explain
ing to Betsy the proportions, with
| the number of stars and stripes,
when her quick eye observed the
fact that the star, like that in
English heraldry, had six points.
but why hast thou made the
stars six pointed?" questioned
Betsy.
No one knew.
| At last one of the committee.
Robert Morris, suggested that in
English Heraldry the star had six
points.
yes" answered Betsy with
spirit, land that is all the more
reason why ours should have five
points. -
But Betsy, can you make a
shapely five pointed STARE asked
Colonel Ross.
Betsy fastened in the front
room and in a moment returned
with square of cambria from her
work basket. which she deity
folded, arranging one fold over
another and at last, with one clip
of her shears she cut off the great
er part. Opening out the remain
der she showed to the delighted
men Il perfect five pointed star.
For many years Betsy Ross and
her daughter made flags for the
government, and she received GA
Us. ID. for flags made for the
fleet in the Delaware River.
There is a striking likeness be-
tween the design of our flag and
and the arms of General Washing
ton, which consisted of three stars
in the upper portion and three
bars running across the escutch-
con. History informs Us that
there were several flags used by
the Yankees before the present
national one was adopted.
The first plan was to add a stripe
for each new state, but the flag
became too unwieldly, and Con-
gress reduced the stripes to the
original ID, and now the stars are
made to correspond in number to
the states.

That's what we sell the people who
come to buy of our stock of Tea and
Coffee and Groceries, and an investiga-
ton of short duration proves the truth
of the statement. Delve little further
into the matter and it will be found that
prices are much below what is usually
charged for, equal quality-but to keep
the business wheels moving briskly, we
oil them with cut prices, and it's pleas
ure to see things move, but it's more
than pleasure to secure Tea and Coffee
and Groceries at such prices.

Admiral Camara's Fleet

LONDON, June 28.-The Star to-

correspondent to the effect that part
of Admiral Camara's fleet left him off
Algeciras, near Gibraltar, and is now
on its way to Porto Rico, "to join
the squadron Of torpedo boats which
Captain Villamil has had concealed
near there for three weeks past"
The correspondent adds:
"This fleet will attack Admiral
Sampson in the rear while Admiral
Cervera attempts a sortie simultan-
eously with the commencement
of the land battle. Thus Admiral
Sampson will be too preoccupied to
help General Shafter.

The death OF Arthur Orton in Lon
don. closes oneof the most remarkable
events in legal history. He claimed to
be the real Lord Tichborne, who had
disappeared, and on the trial Of his
claim to the Tichborne estate, in 1871,
he gave yoluminous mass of testi
mony to support mis- claim. Years after
his defeat, and his conviction for per-
jury, ne confessed his fraudulent pre-
lenses. The curiaus featureof the case
was, that although without particle
OF truth on his side, he managed TO
manufacture evidence, which kept the
attention Of the Court and jury for
many weeks. An eminent lawyer
prosecuted his case, and was ruined by
#. He formed a syndicate upon his
claim, and thousands OF people took
shares in it TO the extent OF over $780,
600. The attention of all England was
attached to it. 1t shows the prejudices
of men that they were divided in opin-
ion upon It. The aristocrats believed
that he was an imposter, while the
common people believed that he was
prevented from obtainig mis- just dues.
