THE FLAG RAISING.
The Silk FLAG At the 6. H. & s. A.
Flodted To the Breeze Yester-
day Mornlnu At 10 O'clock.

The rev silk flag purchased by the
employees of the G. H, & S. a., was
hoisted yesterday morning with very
little ceremony.
Long before ten o'clock crowd
gathered at the point where the flag
was 20 be raised but no one seemed to
have any desire to organize chorus.
There may some endowed with de-
sire 10 assist in the ceremony but II
they did they did not have the cour-
age to express them selves.
A few minutes after the hour hand
had passed the ten mark the roar OF a
cannon was heard and the magnificent
flag went into the air in bunch. At
the top of the pole it was unfurled and
= hundred small flags went floating
through the air. This was sight
we'll worth seeing. The little flags had
been tied up in the big one, and as the
big flag was released it f1oated to the
will of the strong breeze, while the
small ones scattered in all directions.
After the flag was hoisted the crowd
stepped where a good view could be
obtained and many compliments were
expressed. It was conceded on all
sides that the flag was beauty and Mr..
81. c.. Bercherding and the numerous
contributors for the purchase OF It
whose names were published in the
HERALD of Monday evening deserve q
great deal of credit.
This flag will be used only on special
occasions. The old flag will be used
on ordinary occasions.

Edward Murphy, Jr., formerly United States senator, was telling number of friends in the Hoffman a story about a colored yagrant who lives in Troy. This happy go-lucky son of the south is a favorite with every one, and his only virtue is his kindness to his wife. She was taken i'll some time ago. and. while the "darky" had no money to pay for a physician, he per suaded a local doctor to visit his wife and prescribe for her He succeeded in getting the medicine from a dis pensary all right, but one thing both- cred him. The doctor told him he must make his wife some chicken broth and feed her a certain amount every fifteen minutes. Trouble is, doc," said the colored man. T ain't got no pusson to make the broth and feed her. The doctor said shortly: Feed her vour- self, you lazy fellow. You have never done stroke of work in your life. and you haven't anything else to do." The "darky" scratched his grizzled head in a puzzled way, and said slowly. "Yss. sah. Yas, sah, Oats right.
