NO SUNSET FOR OUR FLAG.
Comrade Abel at the Abbott School
Speaks Periodically.

The Flag Day exercises at the Abbott
School were taken part in by many
charming children. The building was ap-
propriately decorated with tri-color bunt-
ing. and the room in which the celebra-
tion was held was hung about with ropes
of red, white and blue On the wall in
front of the scholars was a picture of
Betsy Ross, showing to General Wash
ington, Col George Ross, and Robert
Morris the first flag.
Commander ]. W. Abel, of the Lafayette
Post, G.. a. r., delivered the address, tell
ing of the wars in which the flag had been
carried, and of the many heroes who have
shed their blood for it down to the recent
Spanish-American war He closed his ad-
dress by saying that since our flag has
Porto Rico, It can justly be said that the
sun never sets upon the Stars and Stripes.
a feature of the musical part Of the eX-
erciseS was the singing Of Miss Frances
Grossart, a pretty little miss of twelve
years, who has a fine alto voice. Her solo
was "A Dream og Paradise and in it she
displayed qualities of voice and musical
ability remarkable for so young a child.
The complete programme of the exercises
was as follows:

HOW OLD GLORY GOT ITS NAME.
Comrade Lewis Talks Entertaining
Iy at the webster School.

Child enthusiasm for Old Glory could
have reached no higher point than it did
yesterday afternoon at the Webster
School. The little and the big scholars
joined in the exercises in honor of the
flag, with all their hearts. Every song
that was given went with vim and DASH
and could be heard at a distance from the
building in which the little ones We're
gathered to show their reverence for the
national emblem by music and speaking
The exercises were held on the ground
floor corridor. ana into the small space
were crowded nearly 800 children. Many
had made the flag part of their days
costume and every child carried a small
bit of the coIors in his or her hand. The
corridor was draped with red white and
blue bunting. Those children who could
not find room upon the floor crowded upon
the stairways leading down from the sec
ond story. and with their smiling faces
and waving flags made charming spec
tacle. The principal. Miss s. b. Kent,
had evidently trained the children well,
for everyone seemed to know by heart
the words Of ali the verses Of the song,
and all sang the national airs through
without faItcring.
The q. a. r. member to give the address
was Comrade NJ, NJ. Lewis. He urged
upon the children a respect for the flag.
which should always be the thing closest
to their hearts. In Relation TO the name
"OId Glory" he said that the phrase had
been applied to the national emblem only
since 1862, at which time the title was
originated in Nashville, Tenn. An old
sea captain who had lived I'm Boston had
been presented with n flag by the mem
heTs Of boat crew whom he had saved
from shipwreck Tho flag waved always
from the flagstaff of his house, but when
the troublous times Of war came around
il aroused much animosity among the
rebel citizens Of the city. The rebel army
finally took possession Of Nashville and
in order TO save his flag the captain had
20 sew IL into a bed quilt Many months
aiterWard the Union army marched VIC
toriOusiy into his city, and he offered his
nag To be run up on the capitol naSStau
in place OF the stars and Bars, which
had been floating there. AS ne saw the
banner flung TO the sun in the breeze he
shouted: She flies with all her old glory
and from that remark the name Old
Glory came.
Comrade Lewis had with him many pic
lures of flags Of foreign nations. with the
rulers to which each standard belonged

so called because on the back of each note was engraved the figure of an Amer ican with a sword in his right hand with the following inscription suspended from it:
 Petit placidam sub libertate quietem."
 On the left hand was Magma Charta-" On the scroll around the figure were three wreaths on which were inscribed:

 Congress appointed Captain Bradgon and Colonel Thompson to stay with Paul Revere night and day until the work was completed. Congress also sent commit tee on June H to call and request Paul Revere that he does not leave his engrav- ing press exposed when he is absent from It."
 The work was done in house in Wa tertown, owned by John Cook and occu- pied by his family. It Is on record that Congress passed a resolve that there be paid out of the public treasury the sum of twelve shillings to John Cook, for the use that Paul Revere made of his house while he was striking off the treasury notes therein."

White House" Substituted on the
 Presidents Stationery.

 Washington telegram to St. Louis Globe
 Democrat.
 It is no longer correct to say executive mansion" This Is decision of the past week. All of the stationery of the White House has been changed and where the words Executive Mansion" have been used White House" has been substituted.
 One of the United States Senators who was invited to dinner at the White House during the week remarked incidentally to the President that his invitation had read White House." while previous in vitations received during the life of Pres ldent Mckinley had read ,Executive Mansion" The President readily admit ted that he had ordered the change He said he realized there were forty-tiVe eX- ccutive mansions in the different States of the United States and there was but one White House He proposed that the name White House" should distinguish the residence of the Chief Executive of the United States from all other of1cial resi- dences in future.
 Al the same dinner the Senator was told that the President believed the pres ent White House was large enough, com fortable enough, roomy enough ana mod ern enough for the Chief Executive and he would not countenance any movement looking toward a change in the mansion. Neither did President Roosevelt believe that residence should be bought Tor the President in different part of the city and the White House used exclusively Tor business He thinks the memories of the old White House and the historical inter- est centering about it should prevent any l changes heinz made.
 1 This informa ton, direct from the Prest- | dent is complete refutation of the sto- ries which had been printed to the effect that President Roosevelt and Mrs. Roose- welt. with their large family. found the l White House entirely too small for their | use and would be forced to seek outside | quarters 1t is understood that the Presi- l dent may order the billiard room in the l basement of the White House turned into sleeping room for some Of the servants l He has already had light partitions placed across the broad hallway in the private portion of the White House and this has given some needed sleeping | rooms.

 Beach grass Is not a native of the Caro-
 lima coast, but the United States Agri-
 cultural Department will introduce It here this season and test its adaptability to Southern conditions. There Is no need to depend upon beach grass in this To- cali-v for two native species undoubted> ly as efficient sand binders as the beach These are sea oats and sand millet, both of which grow in the sands along tho coast of all the Southern States. Sea oats is manifestly the grass for thi ssec- ton. and if it will bear transplanting as readily as beach grass no species need be imported. The Agricultural Department. through the office of the agrostologist. offers to assist in conducting experiments with sea oats and other sand binders in | fixing the now unprotected sands on the | Isle of Palms and give directions in planning the work for making permanent plantations. The success of such work will be of great value to many living along the coast and we feel sure that the experiments will have far more than a local interest"

A RELIC TO GO.
Home Where First Colonial Money
 Was Made to Be Torn Down.

Boston telegram to N. Y. Sun.
 The old Paul Revere House at Water town, where the first paper money used in this country was engraved and print cd. is about to be demolished. The house Is the property of heirs of Mrs. I. Morse, who wish to make certain Improvements on the land. On May 3, 1715, the Provin- cial Congress, then assembled in Water town, empowered the Treasurer of the Colonies to borrow El0O,000 and issue col onv securities for the same, payable about two years later, with interest at 6 per cent. Paul Revere was then the only frst-class eng aver in the country, and through negotiations with the Congress siOual Committee, signed a contract to take full charge of the work necessary to the successful execution of the contract
 The first issue of notes was not of less denomination than E4. and there being d greater demand for a smaller denomha- tion, Congress ordered the Treasurer on May 70 of the same year to issue notes for six and twenty shillings in value. These were called the soldiers notes. This issue amounted to E2OO,OO0
 The second issue of notes was the fd- nous sword in hand notes. They were
