OUR STARRY FLAG.

Behold it now, our starry flag,
That floats beneath Manila's sky;
1t makes the heart pulse thrill to see,
It's silky riplets stream on high.
Well fling it soon DER Morro's walls,
And smash the Cubans CALLING chain;
From shore to sea, in trumpet tones,
The peal rings out "Avenge the Mainel'
Chorus.
Our starry flag, red, white and blue,
Long may its folds be seen unfurled;
The tyrant's dread, the freeman's shield
The pride and glory of the world.

With throbbing heart and trembling lip
Cried out-his life blood ebbing fast

And Perry wrapt within its folds,
AS bullets rained in deadly showers,
A victor trod the deck-he wrote
"We met the foe, and they are ours"
Chorus.
Our starry flag, red, white and blue. etc.
And now the naughty Spaniards come,
Their bosoms filled with hate and lust,
They come to clip our eagles wing,
And trail that banner in the dust.
But we have hearts as bold as theirs,
That never blanched to meet the foe
The tars heroic Dewey leads,
Have laid the proud Castilians low.
Chorus
Our starry flag, red, white and blue, ETC.
Then let your cheers the welkin ring,
For Dewey and his gallant crew;
They nobly fought, while grape and shell
In balls of fire around them flew.
At length mid cheers that rent the skies,
The roar of cannon failed to drown
Our'Stars and Stripes" went floating up
The Spanish rag came rolling down.
Chorus.
Our starry flag, red, white and blue, etc.
In every cline, DER land and sea
"Old Glory's" flashing sheet is seen,
The blot Of shame has never yet
Effaced or dimmed its golden sheen.

nue.. This room will be I3x33 feet In size and
will be used for lectures art.
The wings and connecting portions will be
devoted TO galleries-three galleries in each wing
and one in each Of the connecting parts. The
two largest galleries will be 35Njs feet and the
smallest 31143. After the Pan. American eXposi
tion the north galleries will be divided up into
studios for painting and sculpture.
Under the building will be a hig1, light base
ment which will he used for heating AMI electtic
lighting apparatus, cloak and bicycle rooms lava
tories, janitors quarters, packing and storage
rooms etc.
The building will be stric,ly hrepfoot. The
only material, used in construction will be white
marble, steel beams, brick, cement and stone.
In order to secure absolute beauty and har.
mony the terrace on which the building will
stand will he squared to a level plateau. The
terrace, 200x300 feet. on which the gallery will
stand. will be paved with marble. The grounds
will be embelnshed with statuary and fountains.
Three flights Of steps will lead up from the Jake
approach to the gallery.
II is intended TO begin the construction OF the
building as soon as possible and the archtr -
are now getting estimates on marble The I'M
mense amount Of $4,000 cubic feet OF marble will
be required, and it may be di11cult to get it..
One thing, the architects say, Is certain: That
while every effort will he made to have the gal.
lery completed in time for the Pan-American ex-
position, no inferior quality Of stone will be a"-
cepted because 1t can be got more quickly or
more easily. Everything must be Of the be1:.
II is stated that the cost Of the building will
be 1000, "or as near that sum as practicable" 4"
One thing is sure-the building will not be per.
mitted to suffer because OF any arbitrary limita-

WORK ON THE NEW SYSTEM.
Lackawanna Telephone Company
Beginning Construction,

Beginning Construction.
Active work on the installation of
the Lackawanna Telephone company's
new plant was begun yesterday morn
ing by d. M. Rosser, Of Kingston,
who has secured the contract for plac-
ing the conduits in the central city.
Work was commenced on Breck court
in the rear of the Republican building,
in which structure the exchange Is to
be located. About twenty-five men
were put at work excavating a ditch
some five feet deep and this number
will be later Increased.
Contractor Rosser states that he ex-
poets to have all the conduits laid by
Aug. 16. Engineer A. B. Dunnlng, who
is supervising the work, shares this
belief. The conduits, according to the
provisions Of the ordinance, are to be
placed in the territory bounded by
Railroad alley. Franklin avenue, Vine
street and Washington avenue. In all
other parts of the city poles will be
erected.
The contract for the furnishing of
the poles has already been let and
they are expected to arrive here in
the course Of week or two. The
the wires will be commenced as soon
as they reach the city and will be
carried on simultaneously with the
laying of the conduits. This part of
the work will be in charge of John r.
Taubold, who comes here from st.
Louis.
The work of placing the conduits
will be done under the direction of
George Baker, of New York, while p.
j. O'Boyle, ex-street commissioner,
will act as inspector. The conduits or
ducts are to be laid on and covered
by three inches Of concrete. Each
conduit will carry a cable, and some
seventy-two Of these are to leave the
exchange, forty-four running south
and twenty-eight north. Each cable
| contains a large number of separate
wires, some Of them as many as 24O.
1t is believed that by the time the
| corduits have all been laid that the
greater part of the wires will have
| been strung and that by Sept. 1, the
| system will be in fairly complete
working order.

A most interesting and important
railway experiment is now being con-
Quoted by the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad company with a passenger
train Of peculiar construction, design
ed by Frederick U. Adams, formerly
of Chicago, but now of New York.
The train Is Variously designated as
the "wind-splitter," the "cigar-shaped
train" and other terms descriptive of
its design. Mr.. Adams Is at a loss
for an appropriate name, and describes
his invention as a railway train call
culated to offer the least possible re-
sistance to the atmosphere. He has
constructed q train with the idea of
treating the air as if 1t were a fluid
with the same qualities of pressure and
resistance as water, and argues that
II high speeds are to be obtained with
economy as much attention should be
paid to the lines of passenger coaches
as to those Of a steamship or yacht.
Under the Adams plan Of construc-
tion there is a continuity Of lines from
the engine cab to the rear car. All
possible distractions are avoided The
spaces between the cars are closed by
flexible connections, which, while per-
curves and rough tracks. yet present
no opening for air. All air for venti-
lation is admitted from the front end
Of the tender, below the smoke from
the locomotive and above the dust
from the trucks. 1t passes through
ducts along the car roofs and Is dis
tributed in the train, escaping through
registers in the floor. An ordinary
locomotive is use.
Six old passenger cars have been re-
modelled on these plans, and series
of tests is now being made. 1t is
hoped that means will be found to
secure higher speeds with economy and
to provide some means Of ventilation
other than that of opening car win
dows. The field is a new one and Inn
portant results are expected. The
tests thus far show a decided economy
in power and an increased speed rang
ing from seven to twelve miles an
hour. Mr.. Adams is confident that a
careful study Of the construction and
OF the air currents will lead to far bet
ter results.
With light engines the six cars have
been hauled at exceedingly high
speeds. The best runs thus far have
been eighteen miles in sixteen min
utes, ten miles in eight minutes, 4.f
miles In three minutes and eighteen
seconds, and two miles in seventy-one
seconds. Railway officials are intent
" watching these tests. Prominent
New York and Baltimore capitalists
are interested in Mr.. Adams inven-
tions and his train will have a thor
ough trial on various roads In the
summer.
