BASEBALL YESTERDAY.
Baltimore, 8; BROOKLYN, 2,

Baltimore, Sept. 29.-Two bases on balls
to Brodie and Keitsers sacrifice in the
ninth inning won an exciting game for the
Orioles from the Superbas to-day. Nc
Ginnity was in fine form when the men
were on bases. Hughes pitched in mas
terly style and both twirlers were almos t
perfectly supported. Baltimore showed
the better base running and inside work.

THE STARS AND STRIPES.
Almost IdentfcAliv the Same That Betsy
Ross Pisced Together so Many
Years Ago.

The thoughts Of sixty millions Of PEG
pie are turned toward the Stars and
Stripes. There are Flag Days and all
sorts OF days that we celebrate in one
fashion or another, but when the
Fourth of July gets within reaching
distance, then we realize that the day
Of days is at hand. That il why the
Star Spangled Banner is in the minds
of everybody.
The orators with silver tongues have
told and the poets have sung about all
that is great and glorious regarding
the old flag. SO much for patriotism.
Really the flag Is a very prosalc bene-
nit, apart from the sentiment that at
taches to it. Thousands and thousands
Of people gain their living, from one
years end to another, by making Unit
ed States flags. This is the way that
Ben Butler, "Strabmus Ben" laid the
foundation Of his ample fortune. Think
of 1t. Every year the people of the
United States buy four millions Of
flags. During that same period mil
lion flags disappear. Nobody knows
where they 90
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1899-07-08

The manufacturers of flags say that
il does not seem to make much differ
ence how strenously they seek to pile
up stock by degrees in order to fill the
Fourth of July demands, about a
month before the Fourth so many or
ders come in they have all they can do
to fill them. A curious fact is that no
matter how hard times may be- the de-
mand for flags rarely lessons. We may
have only few dollars in cur pockets,
but that makes us no less patriotic.
The patched-up affair that Betsy
Ross gave to the world at the time
of the Revolutionary War has been re-
produced millions of times. Yet the
only change from the design that her
expert fingers prepared is in the num-
Der of stars. 1t is just the same flag
in appearance that decorated the hall
in which the first Congress of the Unit
cd States met. 1t is a finer flag now
in point of material, and almost any
sort can be bought that one is willing
TO pay for, but, whether it be silk or
paper it is the Stars and Stripes, the
idol of the people.

Freezing Weather in July

Would cause great discomfort and loss,
but fortunately it is seldom known. A
vast amount of misery is caused at this
season. however, by impoverished blood,
poor appetite and general debility. These
conditions may be remeded by enriching
the blood and toning the stomach with
Hoods Sarsaparilla. This medicine
seems to put new life into the whole phys
zeal system, simply because of its wonder
full power to purify, enrich and vitalize
the blood, create an appetite and invigor-
ate the digestive functions. We advise
you to get bottle and try it if YOU are
not feeling just right. 1t will do you
more good than six weeks vacation.
1t is the best medicine money can buy.

In the beginning. before there was
any trouble with the mother country,
the colonies used the flag of England,
the cross of St George. RebelliOus old
Massachusetts,, under Endicott, in 1856
cut the cross out of the flag to show its
hatred of Romanism. In 1857 the
Kings arms were substituted and this
was used until 1851, when it was de-
cided to use the English flag again. In
1907 the flag of King James, the Union
Jack. was adopted, and the distinc-
lively colonial flags were used very
little.
The Union flags that were shown in
the early days of the revolution were
almost all ordinary red English ensigns
with the Union Jack, and they bore
as a rule, in addition, a patriotic mot
to- After the Battle of Lexington the
Connecticut troops showed the arms of
the colony on their flags with the mot
TO. "Qui Transtulit Sustinet." The
ships sent out by Massachusetts
at this time carried n white flag with
a green pine tree The armed ships OF
New York showed the device of New
Netherland, a beaver: and the tieet,
under Commodore Esek Hopkins, in
the Delaware, flew yellow flag
with the famous rattlesnake, and the
famous motto, Don't Tread on Me-"
The first armed vessels to be commits
stoned in the name of all the colonies
Cby Washington bore the pine tree
banner.
1t was not until January 2, 1776,
that n really national flag was raised.
1t was hoisted on that day over Wash
ington'S headquarters in Cambridge,
Mass. 1t was known as the Great
Union. and consisted OF the present
thirteen alternate red and white
stripes. but in place Of the stars there
were in it's blue field the crosses OF
st. Andrew and ST. George in com
| bination.
The flag thus adopted was used until
after the Declaration of Independence
was issued when the use OF any Eng
lish devices became inappropriate.
Accordingly, Congress appointed a
committee consisting of General
George Washington, Robert Morris.
and George Ross to design a national
flag. They called on Mrs. Elizabeth
Ross, a Quakeress, then living at No.
go Arch street, Philadelphia, and,
after some discussion, General Wash
| ington drew a rough sketch of the flag
! ON piece of paper
Just who suggested the stars is not
| known with certainty. Some think
that John Adams first gave the de-
! Signers Of the flag the idea, but ii is
not positively known.
