lions in captivity.
1t is as unexplainable as It is remark
able. Positive it is natures compensa-

to drive that fearsome creature of the

There is no denying the fact. The irish
lion is an institution. It has recognized

the Irish beast.
The fame of Ireland as a breeding place
for lions rests chiefly upon the Dublin
Geological gardens. where lions have been
raised for the market for forIy-fve years.
Not only 10 the lions there breed more
freely than those in captivity any where
else but the beasts are stronger. harder,
healthier and tanner.

"A Union Station Suggestion.
.ditor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
The union station should not be located
on Massachusetts, avenue, because it costs
too much to get the railroads to it either
from the north or south, because it costs
too much to prepare the site to conform to
the railroad plans and because it destroys
so much value in lexington. along Della
ware avenue and in Garfield Park in South
Washington. The alternative site to which
attention is called is between D and E
streets and from 9th to 10th streets south
west. To acquire this property would cost
less than the ground required for the Mas
sachusetts avenue site. The holdings of
the railroad companies on or near that site
would be greatly enhanced in value If the
railroads would quit that part Of the city
entirely, so that the abandonment of their
plans for that location would yield them
handsome profit.
The space between Virginia and Maryland
avenues and ID street should be made into
a more imposing plaza than that planned
by the architect for Massachusetts, avenue,
and at far less cost. On either side of 9Th
street from D to E streets is a block of
ground measuring about 200 feet by 500
feet, and these blocks would be ample for
all the requirements of the station.
Eighth street should be left open either as

The g. A. r. Concert.

u
AS Flag day fell this year on Saturday
there was a general movement to celebrate
1t in the public schools today, which hap
pened to be in Washington almost the last
day of the school year. But June IA will be
properly observed here and elsewhere, not
withstanding today's exercises In the
schools. In New York addresses will be
delivered at several historic places Phila-
delphia will hold public meetings in the
vicinity Of Carpenters Hall and Indepen-
dence Hall. In Washington the citizens
committee on the 1902 encampment of the
Grand Army Of the Republic has arranged
at the Columbia Theater at O. clock In the
evening. Senator Spooner. Representative
George A. Pearrea and others will deliver
appropriate addresses. Mr.. Charles B.
and Mrs. Thomas c. Noyes will sing 1.-The
Star Spangled Banner" Musical numbers
will be provided by the full United States
Marine Band and a special chorus of zoo
school children.
The history Of "Old Glory" prepared and
issued to the public schools by the Depart
ment of the Potomac. Woman's Relief
Corps, follows in full:
The Story Of the Flag.
There Is room In this country for but one
flag, and the star spangled banner must
head the procession or 1t cannot march The
American flag floats today the wonder of
the civilized nations. Just century and
a quarter ago its bright folds were flung
to the winds of heaven amid the execra-
lions Of the English and the jeers of half
a world. Today it's thirteen little stars are
multiplied to a magnificent forty-flye, and
upon it's dominions the sun never sets With
never the loss Of star, but with constant
gains; with no stain upon a stripe of its

not the authorities of the War Department
be induced to allow these brave fellows TO
pass through Washington on their way
east? 1t is not so long ago when the
hearts of the whole nation vibrated with
pride as there came flashing under the seas
the story Of that terrible day at T1en-Tsin,
where among the picked troops Of the
world-German, English, French, Russian,
Italian and Japanese-these lusty fellows
led the advance, and all day long hung on
before those grim walls amid a hurricane
of fire and death-brave Col. Liscomb dy-
ing in his tracks, flag in hand; every field
officer desperately wounded; the fast-thin-
ming ranks wavered not, and the flag
staid put and Tien-Tsin fell The record
of the Fighting Ninth" on those succeed
ing days of doubt and danger, when the
eyes of Christendom were anxiously turned
toward the imprisoned and imperiled men
and women at Pekin, is equally glorious.
Hours. moments were precious; any one OF
them might bring the final catastrophe. APP
parently insuperable obstacles caused the
allied commanders to hesitate and delay in
the final march to Pekin. No hesitation
delay with the boys in bluel They will 60
1t alone The brave little Japanese will go
also. EN- evantr' OF they started, the
fighting Ninth in the advance as usual All
the others followed. Pekin fell American
soldiers being first to scale it's walls. The
saved, a second Delhi or Cawnpore averted,
and all the world applauded and wondered.
In those days of confusion, loot and rapine
which followed when the troops of other
nations ran wild in Pekin, our boys again
challenged the admiration of the world for
discipline. order and humanity. Their SUBJ
sequent and previous record In the Philip
pines was of the same glorious character.
By all means then let these heroes have
a chance as an entire organizat ion to march
down Pennsylvania avenue and receive at
the national capital a national ovation
from the grateful people Of the county they
have done and suffered 80 much TO honor
and glorify; such a reception and ovation
as England gives to her crack regiments
returning weary and war-worn from across
the seas. No committees or subscriptions
are necessary to carry out this purpose.
Let those heroes be ordered here and the
old followers of the civil war, blue and
gray alike, and their younger brothers OF
the Spanish veterans and the patriotic men
and women Of Washington generally VIII
attend to all the rest.
