QUEEN ALEXANDRIA has request
ed that all the dresses worn at the
coronation be made as far as pos
slble from British fabrics, which
request brings out the fact that no
silks are manufactured in England,
Irish poplin being the only home
made fabric suitable for the occas-
ion. The French silk makers
will have to move their plants
across the channel.

UNDER the existing methods or
handling the state funds, the state
is and has been dependent wholly
unon the honesty of her officials
for security in the handling of Its
money. Had an embezzler "hanc-
ed at any time to getinto office, be
might easily have gotten away with
large sums of money. As 1t hap
pens, however, the state has never
had such disgrace befall it as to
have a dishonest official elected.
Whatever other faults may have
been theirs, the men who have
6ll.d the various state offices have
always been men of strict lnteg-
rity.

SOME HORTICULTURAL BRIEFS

Put soapsuds around the peach
trees.
Set out young fruit trees and plan Is
every year.
In transplanting no manure should
be placed in direct contact with the
roots.
The value of an orchard depends
very much on the proper selection of
the varieties.
Raspberry plants should be set out
at the very first favorable opportunity
in the spring.
The pear tree is more liable to dis
ease than any other fruit tree, unless
we except the peach.
In manuring the orchard remember
that the roots of the trees extend as
far out as the branches.
All the fruit trees should be care
fully labeled, so that the owner may
know what he possesses.
If the fruit trees need pruning, it
is easier to prune as soon as the ne
cessity shows than after years of neg
lect.
Unless needed for the purpose of
propagation it is best to keep the
suckers from around the raspberry
and blackberry bushes.
The commercial orchardist who
plants too many varieties makes a
mistake; better select q few of the
best that do well in your locality.

more union flags, to wave in order TO
prevent further mistakes. Lieut..
Shurtleff carried flag in one hand
for his party.
They journeyed past the New Mar
ket bridge and saw in the distance the
confederate pickets. Near the bridge
John NJ. Sandidge, a member of the
Charles City (Va.) troop, with his son
George, another trooper named Bur-
dette Terrett and a guide, saw the
union party and hid in the woods.
Sandidge was the leader of the con-
federate party. He afterward rose TO
the rank of coloneiin the confederate
army. He decided that he would wait
until the union party had returned
from their scouting and attack it from
ambush. Sandidge believed that the
federals might capture some confed-
crates, and that his party would be
able to rescue them.
The union party returned in the
morning by the New Market Bridge
road and came to the point where the
confederates lay in ambush. Col. San
didge gave this description of the af-
fair:
1--WE were each to pick out man and
thus make the best use Of our ammuni-
ton. At about seven o'clock they ap-
peared, the three officers abreast,
whose names, as afterward ascer-
tanned, were Maj. Rowhns, Capt. Jen-
kins and Lieut.. Shurtleff. When they
were some 90 PAGES distant we fred.
Rowlins fell, shot through the head.
"Shurtleff was wounded in the arm
and side by Terrett. Capt. Jenkins,
who was third in the rank, was I'M
touched, as my son George had not
fired"
Col. Sandidge then related how Capt.
Jenkins had continued fighting until
he was badly wounded in the breast.
Capt. Jenkins was not captured, how
ever, until after Lieut.. Shurtleff.
Having reloaded my gun" con-
tinued Col. Sandidge, ST returned to
Shurtleff. Aiming the weapon at him,
1 demanded the number of his party
and their whereabouts, He said they
had taken to the woods. Iordered him
to get up and call on his companions
to surrender. This he did, but they did
not appear.
"Shurtleff was badly shot. At the
time he was wounded he was carrying
smaD-sized union flag. This was used
to stanch the blood that flowed from
his wound.
"The union flag captured on this oc-
casion was the first taken in the war
and was carefully preserved. After
having been displayed in Richmond il
was restored to me.
The sight of it naturally recalled
rscollections of the union soldier who
had borne it so bravely, and I often
wondered whether he had survived the
events of the war. It was my desire
TO ascertain his fate, and If he were
still living to send back the bloody

FIRST UNION FLAG CAPTURED.
The Soldier Who Was Captured with
IL Stili Has the Treasured
Relic

The first union flag to be captured
and the first union officer to be taken
prisoner in a fight during the civil war
are in New York city. The officer is
r. NJ. Shurtleff, who was a volunteer.
he has the flag, says the St. Louis Re-
public.
1t is blood stained and torn. Hecsr-
Tied it while on picket duty near Hamp-
ton, Va, on the morning of July 10,
1861, when a small confederate party
lying in ambush. wounded him and an
other officer, and took them prisoners.
Mr.. Shurtleff was the first prisoner;
his brother officer, who was taken cap
tive few minutes later, died about a
year afterward; Maj. Rowlins, a third
member of the union party and war
correspondent, was killed.
The flag returned TO the possession
of Mr.. Shurtleff in September, 1885. 1t
vas handed over to him by Col. J. NJ.
Sandidge, leader of the confederates
who had made the attack from am
bush.
Mr.. Shurtleff was a lieutenant and
adjutant of the Ninety-ninth New York
volunteers, who were encamped in
Hampton, Va. Gen. Max Weber had
sent Capt. Jenkins, Lieut Shurtlef
and three other members of the Nine
ty-ninth volunteers TO reconnoiter for
confederate pickett on the night of
July is, 1861. The $ uting party wus
accompanied by Maj. Iiowlins.
Owing to several union scouting par
ties having fred upon union soldiers,
orders had issued from headquarters
that some member or members of ev-
cry scouting party should carry one or

trsophy of civil strife /.


This description of the ambush was
given by Col. Sandidge in 1885 in New
Orleans. He had been trying TO locate
Mr.. Shurtleff for several wears. and
finally did succeed in learning in the
summer OF 1885 that the man he wished
TO reach was New York artist, who
had camp in the Adirondacks. After
an interchange of letters, Mr.. Shurt-
left received the flag in September Of
hat year.
Cob Saudidge said in letter accom-
Panying the flag: "As mite from the
past to the future please accept the
hag-no longer of war. but of per-
petual peace, alliance and friends hip"
CoL Sandidge died during the Span
lSh-American war. He had been a
member of the Louisiana legislature
from 1916 TO 1855. and had been a rep
resentative in congress from 1855 to
1859.
During the terrible food on the Gulf
coast in 1874 Col. Sandidge's heart was
touched at the generous aid which the
northerners gave to the southern suf-
ferers, and he decided then that he
would do what he could for the rest Of
his life 10 cement the bond of friend
ship between the north and the south.
After his capture on the morning of
July 1s, 1861. Lieut.. Shurtleff was sew
eral weeks in prison in Yorktown. VI.
ana was then removed TO the county
PRISON in Richmond, where he spent
ABOUT seven months, until he was
paroied- Mr.. Shurtleff did not reenter
the union service. He has never fully
recovered from his wounds.
