Fourteen noted writers were sent by
TIE C~osMoPoLITANM AGAzINE to the Pan
Exposition to study the most interesting
features with a view to preparing the
most beautiful souvenir of any Exposition
ever made, from both a literary and an
artistic standpoint.
Under the direction OF the editors of
THE C~osAoPoLITAN, l05 photographs were
prepared showing every variety of archi-
lecture and every phase of life, not neg
lecting the Midway, at the Pan-Ameri-
can. These are engraved and printed in
a style never surpassed even in The Cos
~MoPoLITAN's high standard OF art
1t is doubtful if any book, selling at
forty times the price ofthe magazine, will
give any description Of the Fair which
will approach in interest and artistic val
ne the September CosMoPoLITAN. The
COSMOPOLITAN already has the largest
clientele of intelligent, thoughtful readers
reached by any periodical, daily, weekly,
or monthly, in the world, and it aims to
enter a quarter OF a million new homes
this year.
The edition of the PAN-AMERICAN Ex-
POSITION number is absolutely limited to
500, 900 copies.

The history Of the Stars and Stripes
should be OF interest to every American.
The banner OF freedom had its beginning
on June IA, 1877, when the Colonial Con-
gress adopted the following resolution.
"Resolved, That the flag Of the thirteen
colonies shall be thirteen stripes alternat-
ing red and white, in a blue field, repre-
senting a new constitution.
Last Tuesday, September Sd, a monu-
ment was unveiled at Cooch's Bridge, a
cross roads post Office about 10 miles from
Wilmington, in commemoration of the
first place that the stars and stripes first
met battle.
The monumen is of Brandywine gran
lie, and is surrounded by four large an
mons, donated by the WA department.
The inscription tells the story: ''The
Stars and Stripes were first unfurled in
battle at Cooch's Bridge, September 5,
1777. Erected by the patriotic societies
and citizens OF Delaware, September 3,
1901"
The exercises opened with "a few re-
marks by Chief Justice Charles B. Lore,
after which he called upon Bishop Cole
man, who offered an impressive PRAYER.
Former City Solicitor Henry c. Con
rad, of Wilmington, read a history OF the
battle OF Cooch's Bridge, in which he
quoted from the journal of Captain Mon
t~ressor, Chief of Engineers of the British
Army, under Lord Howe, which first met
the Americans after landing in Elk Neck,
at Cooch's Bridge. lie also quoted from
John Marshalrs Life OF Washington"
and from the diary of Lieutepant Nc
Michael, OF the Pennsylvania line.

VIM. B. Gourley, chairman OF the State
Democratic Committee, has issued a cal
for the Democratic State Convention to
be held in Trenton on Tuesday, October
LIST, to nominate a candidate for Govern
or. James NJ. Seymour, the Democratic
Mayor OF the Republican City OF Newark,
is the popular choice, as he has been
elected three times, the last time with
the open opposition of ex-senator James
Smith, who still wishes to be the Demo
cratic boss of the State. Mr.. Smith, it is
reported, will have a candidate to oppose
Mr.. SEYMOUR as he did three years ago
when he had Elvin Crane nominated.
Seymour's nomination will insure a hot
fight in Essex County because Franklin
lrphy, who will receive the Republican
nomination lives there. As Seymour has
the prestige OF carrying Newark, which
comprises the greater part OF Essex Coun-
ty, it is probable that he will be able to
hold the Republican majority down in
that county to such small numbers as to
insure his winning in the State.

In the very olden days OF steamboat
ing, when the Mississippi pilot sat on the
safety-valve to hold the pressure for rae
ing purposes, explosions OF river craft
boilers were not ~infrequent or unexpect-
ed. But, nowadays, when hundreds OF
devices for the protection OF passengers
have been invented by mechanical gen
fuses, and laws have been placed on the
statute books against unsafe practices,
such a disaster as that on the Delaware

miJ,se to the canteeu section. limiting
the sale OF liquors to beer, was criticised
by Senator Ga!iiGger, who said that beer
was an inLoXicant as much as whisky He
referred to the canteen provision OF the
Army bill which was passed BY Congress
in 1888, which abolished the canteen. and
yet the Attorney General had declared
that the language employed in the act Of

While the general characteristics OF the
disease are what they have always been,
doctors say that it has developed q ca
tarrhaI tendency. which IS new Many
private hospitals have been refusing cases
because Of lack Of room and referring ap-
plicants TO Bellevue and other city instL-

The rule at Bellevue is 10 accept only
emergency cases, but the grip epidemic
has become so serious that the line is not
drawn closely. and many grip sUIerers are
now received daily
