RELIC OF THE REVOLUTION

Charleston Exposition Managers
Want to secure Jnspcr's Flag.
The managers of the Charleston ex-
position have solicited the aid OF Lord
Pauncefote, the british ambassador at
Washington, and Mr. Choate, the Amer
lean ambassador at London, to secure
the flag of the famous Revolutionary
Sergeant Jasper, which Is reported to
be in the Tower OF London. says
the Chicago Record-Herald. Nobody,
however, seems TO know anything
about II. There Is no reference to Il In
the guldebooks, which contain long
lists OF trophies, and II Is exceedingly
doubtful II there Is IN the Tower OF
London or anywhere else i'm Great
Britain more than one flag captured in
battle from forces OF the United States.
The only one have ever seen hangs
over the tomb of Edward Phlllipsi In
the cathedral at Chester, and the label
records that IL was captured mt the
battle of Bunker HILL" IL Is rudely
made. about four feet long and two
feet in width, with only eight or ten
stripes and about as many stars, Z
once ascertalned by inquiry that IL
was presented TO the Chester cathedral
by an officer OF the army OF that coun-
ty who served on the British side dur
ing the Revolutionary war and was
placed over the tomb OF Mr.. Phillipsi
because he was one of the most prom
incnt Tories In the American colonies.
In Ramsey's History of the Revolu-
ton" page 1876. Is footnote describ-
Ing the gallant conduct OF Sergeant
Jasper Mt the battle of Fort Moultrle,
when he seized the colors from the
hand of Lieutenant Hume as the latter
fell wounded and planted them upon
the ramparts of the fort. ''In doing
so," the note says. "he received n
wound which terminated I'm death;
but, the retreat being ordered. he
brought of the colors with him. These
were taken nt the fall Of Charleston
and are said TO be now IN the Tower
OF London"
Jasper received his death wound at
the battle OF Savannah and not at the
battle OF Fort Moultrle. and the state
ment that his colors are I'm the Tower
of LcIdon may be equally inaccurate.
