The stars and the states.

Editor Morning News: In looking st
the national flag we know the stars repre-
sent the different states, but each star
as counted stands for some one definite
state. AS the states came into the fed
eral union, star was added. The orig
inal thirteen sovereign states created the
federal union, and the stars on the flag
and on our coin stand as follows, as tbs
states came into the union or ratification
of the United States constitution:
l. Delaware, Dec, 7, 1887; 2, Pennsylvania
Dec. u, 1851; 3, New Jersey, Dec 49, 1877;
4. Georgia, Jan. 2, 1888; 8, Connecticut,
Jan. 9, 1888; G. Massachusetts, Jan. 9, 1885,
7. Maryland, April 2S, 1888; 8, South Caro-
lima, May %, 1888; g., New Hampshire

II. New York, July 26, 1888; u, North Caro-
lima, Nov. p, 1889; 10, Rhode Island, May ~

How Jealous those states were of their
state sovereignty and state rights were
expressed in the debates in the conven-
lions. The union Of to-day is not what
our fathers made or intended it. But times
have changed and we have changed with
them.
The other states came in as follows: H.

OLD EVANGELINE.

Mother In Arcadia.

Mother In Arcadia.
From forty to fifty thousand Americans
visit the Valley of Annapolis, N. S., every
summer. in the first place to escape the
heat of the United States, in the second
because sojourn in that part of Acadia
is cheap and delightful in the third place
and chiehy-because it takes in the
scenes of Longfellow's poem, Evangeline
These scenes, as beautiful to-day as
they were early in the last century, are
exploited for all they are worth by the
hotel keepers, and for a good deal more.
The hotel keepers of Acadia live and
flourish on Longfellow; every line in
Evangeline is worth a summer boarder to
them and the summer boarder means a
profit of about 500 at the end of the sea-
son. Indeed, the hotel keepers are talk
ing about erecting a monument to Henry
w. Longfellow in some part of Acadia,
possibly in Grandpre.
Despite last century's deportation of
the Acadians there are fully 100000 of them
at the present time living between Var
mouth. one of the gateways to the Prov
ince of Nova Scotia and Halifax, the 9TH
er, among whom are, doubtless, many de-
scendants of Benedict Lafontaine aud
Basil the Blacksmith. At all events the
common enough in the valley.
All the Acadians did not leave the val
ley with Evangeline and Gabriel. Many
of them who were not pure whites man
aged to conceal themselves in the for
ests primeval" and fished and hunted there
until the minions of King George had be-
come satisfied that nothing more was TO
be feared from the French of Acadia.
When the crisis was over they emerged
from the forests and settled down in the
places where their descendants are to be
found to-day with that strain OF Indian
blood that makes them bold hunters and
patient fishermen, but units them for COM
petition with men of British descent in
civilized enterprise.
If L'Evangeline and other local news
papers are accurate in their statements,
the valley contains a surprising number
of centenarians There is at least one
Acadian now living near Eelbrooke, Dig
by county, who is in her 104th year. The
parish register vouches for this woman's
age and her name is Evangelne Lajeu-
nesse. This ancient dame has undoubtedly
some Mic-aIMac blood in her veins, and
the strain is observable in her many de-
scendants down to the 2-year-old Nanette
des Noyes, born in Eelbrooke on July "a,
1896.
Old Evangeline, for as such is she
known and venerated from Yarmouth to
Halifax, was born in August, 1895, and was
married in 1911. She became the mother
Of eleven children, two of whom are now
living, one a son In Lowell Mass. the
other a daughter in Yarmouth county,

Lexington, Ky, Oct. 13.-A gentleman
who was present in Gen. Skaters tent

8, when Gen. Shafter was sending his
dishearteuing dispatches TO Washington

Gen. Breckenridge and tried TO per-
suade the veteran to take command of the
army, which he was already preparing for
retreat.
On the morning Of July 3 Gen. SHAFT
Ger sent for Gen. Breckenridge to come
to his tent. where in addition to the two
generals, were Lieut.. S. M. Foote aide
to Gen Breckenridge, and others. Gen.
Shafter was lying III and exhausted by
heat and his great excitement. After some
preliminary remarks. he said:
Breckenridge. you must take charge of
my army"
Gen. Breckenridge replied what for,
Shafter?"

the ulcers on my leg Look at my head
My brain is upset. I'm not fit TO lead the

To this Gen. Breckenridge answered as

But said Gen. Breckenridge, after a

these words, Il am not the man to take

1t can no longer be denied by Con-
gresham White or any one else that the
negroes desire to control, if what Tom
Fields said in a Republican convention
Monday signifies anything. In Il con

said that they will take charge of things
ten years from now when they get mora
money.
He said "White people are buying
black powder, but we want them to TN
derstand that we are buying white pow
der. We have more 16-shooters than
they imagine"
Such utteranccs are bringing the white
people to their senses Populists are
coming back all over this county. \

that the Popuists will not poll more than

The negroes are badly divided in this
county, having two tickets in the field.
and it now looks like they will be far
from voting solidily together.
