BATTLF-sCARRED FLAG.
Christmas Memento From Negroes Is
land Received by II. M Dow.

An interesting Christmas package
was received the other day by Chief
Clerk Dow, in the office of the High
Sheriff. 1t came from the Philippines
and contained battle-smoked, bullet
tattered American flag. The present
cam, from Sergeant f. d. Lewis of CO.
d. Sixth U. S. infantry, stationed at
Negros Island.
Lewis was one of the soldiers who
were so i'll in Honolulu when the troops
were first sent out by the United states
to the Philippines and he went 10 the
couvalescent hospital on tic slope OF
Punchbowl Hin. While recovering there
he became acquainted with Mr.. Dow,
who so kindly gave the use Of his land
for the nursing back to health OF the
soldier boys.
No history came with the iiaG, and
through some mistake only the last
page of the letter which was evidently
written to accompany it was enclosed.
Mr., Dow is looking for an explanatory
letter by the next steamer, outlining
the service the mutllated flag has done.
The sender must have discovered his
mistake soon after mailing the package
and the rest OF the letter will probably
be forthcoming in the next mail.

no provision for torpedo craft This
sion in the board as to the utility and
practicability of destroyers and tor"
pedo boats, and there appeared to be
an almost general sentiment that
there was little to gain and much TO
lose in their construction.
From the technical standpoint it was
shown that these vessels deterioriated
very rapidly when not in service, and
that their enforced idleness during
the winter months had a ruinous effect
on hull and machinery. From the
standpoint of their usefulness as war
machines, there was a surprising un-
animity of opinion in the board that
torpedo-boats were largely experiment
tai and that they had never demon
strated what had been claimed for
them.
Some of the members of the board
expressed the belief that torpedo craft
were more troublesome than useful in
hostile operations and could just as
we'll be dispensed with; even where
an American fleet was operating
, against an enemy's naval forces to
which strong torpedo-boat fiotilla
was attached. While no more definite
information as to the views expressed
! by members of the board on the sub
| ject is obtainable, it is known that
there was a cordial endorsement Of the
views of the department proper that
no more vessels of that type should bt
| constructed"

CLARKSBCRG. w. Va, September O.
This place entertained the democratic
presidential candidate for a few hours to-
day. The county fair of this tHarrison
county, is In progress and Mr.. Bryan was
received at the fair grounds. The an
nouncement of his coming had been made
throughout this entire section Of the coun-
try and as consequence his admirers had
come from far and near to see and hear
him. The crowd was large and the en-
thusiasm manifested upon the appearance
OF the candidate was regarded as an excel
lent indication of the favor in which he Is
held In the community
Mr.. Bryan had been advertised to speak
at 10 o'clock. but he did not appear until
an hour later. This delay was due to the
fact that the special train was held for an
hour beyond the appointed time at Deer
Park In order to give the distinguished WIS.,
itor and his travelling companions an oppor-
tunity to proiong their visit TO that ideal
spot. The run was made rapidly down the
western slope of the Alleghenies, but the
distance was considerable and 1t was i'm
possible to make up the time. Nevertheless
the crowd awaited the arrival with pa
thence and good will. The coming was
greeted with cheers. throngs being present
at the railroad station to grasp the candi-
date by the hand and escort him to the
meeting place. The town was in holiday
attire and it was evident from the begin
ming that the meeting was to be success
full one.

THEIR EXPENSES ARE TOO GREAT.

Letter Carriers Must Retrench or
Raise More Money.
DETROIT. Mich. September "a con-
siderable portion of today's proceedings OF
the National Association Of Letter Car
riers were in executive session. Some Of
the delegates had criticised the administra-
ton of the organizations finances and the
annual reports had shown that the re-
ceipts are not equaling expenditures. Pres
ident Parsons suggested free discussion
of the whole matter in executive session.
and the convention voted accordingly. The
secret session resulted in clearing up va
rious MISUNDERSTANDING on minor points.
A committee will be appointed to report
upon means for charging the income OF
the association or reducing expenses.
Considerable soreness was created at the
outset of today's sessions by some caustic
remarks made from the platform by Presi
cent Parsons. He charged the Detroit
carriers with selfish conduct last night In
filling the suburban cars provided for
trip to Mount Clemens with themselves and
friends to the exclusion Of a great many
of the visiting delegates. Some of the De-
troit men hotly denied the aspersions upon
their hospitality. and the disagreeable sub
Ject was debated quite fully.
TIL, official nominating committee has
prepared report which recommends re-
election Of all the present officers. This
afternoon the convention was taken to the
st. Clair Flats on board a Detroit ferry
steamer

NATTER OF BENEFITS.
Ruling OF Court Touching Widening
of Th0rOuGhfarea.

In the matter Of the proposed widening
OF Columbia road and 18th street to permit
the extension of the Metropolitan Railroad
Company Justice Bradley today ruled that
the jury OF appraisers can assess such bene-
fits only against the Metropolitan Railroad
Company, If any. as 1t has been shown by
the evidence In the case will result to the
company from the widening of Columbia
road and the present 18th street.
Further, the court decided that the Jury
Is not required to assess any part OF the
amount which 1T shall award as damages
for and In respect OF the land condemned
against the Metropolitan Railroad Com
pany, unless it Is satisfied by a fair pre-
ponderance Of the evidence that the COM
pany will be specially benefited.
The court also ruled that in determining
the question whether or not the railroad
company will be benefited the jury should
consider the cost of extending the railroad
and the increased cost of operating it's
lines.
A meeting of the jury was held at city
hall late this afternoon. The instructions
Of the court were read and statements of
counsel submitted. The jury will proceed
forthwith with to prepare its report.
