Revolution are planning to present
the government with the largest flag

of the signing of the treaty Of peace
with Spain. The flag is 100 feet long
and 66 feet in width, and the blue
field is 40x35 feet. The stripes are
five feet wide, and each star is two
feet nine inches in diameter. The flag
was made during the Spanish. Ameri-
can war and contains 1925, 900 stitches
which is one for each soldier and sal
lor engaged in the war. Each OF the
forty-five stars is embroidered with
the name of the state it represents and
the date OF admission into the Union.

HELEN GOULD, who is now perhaps
the most popular OF American women,
has generously assisted the sufferers
from the New Richmond tornado. 1t
is but one of the many acts of bounty
which she performs and which justi-
fy her hope OF being recognized as the
American compeer of Lady Burdett-
Coutts. Her ambition in that respect
contrasts sharply with that of her sis
ter, the Countess Castellane, whose
enormous fortune is being spent upon
the support of doubtful title and a
disreputable husband.-Ex.

NOT LIGHTLY SET ASIDE.

In refusing to interfere in the Web
ster case Governor Rogers has shown
that he has too much respect for the
law to lightly set it aside with no bet
ter reason than that number OF peo-
lie petitioned him to do so, and his act
will bear the seal of approval by the
honest thinking people OF the state.
Webster left Cheney on that Inflated
day for the Aspland home armed with
whiskey, drugs and gun and would
have added outrage to his atrocious
crime if his brutal nature could have
had its own way.
The responsibility of the governor
in cases of this kind is heavy one,
but he did all that was required OF
him, when he gave the case the care
full investigation he did at the request
of Webster's attorneys. He failed to
find any evidence that Webster had
not been given all the rights accorded
to him by the stitution. Had he
yielded to the request to commute the
sentence he could only have done so
through sentimentality, and not with
that deep sense of justice which should
be found in the chief executive.

ROBERT G. INGERsoLL, the most
prominent agnostic of his time, the
most sarcastic of scoffers, the most in
tolerant critic of Christianity, the
most adroit adversary of religious
faith, the most skilful modern cham
pion of unbelief,is dead, having passed
away suddenly and unexpectedly FRI
day, July 21st, 1899. The private,
simple funeral occurred yesterday in
New York city. The body will be
cremated. No one WAS invited save
those who were nearest and dearest to
the dead man. Selections from his
writings were the only ceremonies.
There was no address, no music, no
singing, no prayers, nothing but "
last view OF the silent form of that re-
markable man. Aside from criticism
of his crusade against Christianity,
one must pay tribute to him MS citi-
zen and man. His family life was
ideal, and in his dealings with the
world he lived up to sterling princi-
pies. He was honest, industrious,
always public spirited and given in
philanthropy. His life on the lines he
laid down was a success and he must
be recognized as one OF the most strik-
ing and forceful characters of his
time. He left no estate. What he
did not spend on his loved ones he
gave away in charity. His eloquence
and greatest oratorical efforts will be
best remembered in his nomination OF
Blaine in 1876, his address at the G.
A. r. reunion in indianapolis in 1879,
his remarks at the funeral of his
brother, and his lecture on Abraham
Lincoln.
