FLAG OF TwENTYslxTH ALABAMA.

an interesting story. It was the night before the surrender at AppomatoX and rather than have their beloved flag fall Into the hands of the enemy the men had gathered around the camp fire to burn it. All hearts were saddened by the events of the day and with tear stained cheeks the boys in gray were gazing for the last time upon its tattered folds. At this juncture Dr. Hayes asked that the flag be given to him. His request was re- fused. He then asked to be allowed to give 1t a last embrace and before any one knew what he was about he had fled with 1t to the tent of the colonel, where the men could not follow him. That night he wrapped the flag around the body of his faithful valet and after the sur render carried it safely through the lines and back to Alabama.
 The flag was never on exhibition until a reunion of the Twenty-sixth regiment was held in Fayette, Ala, in 1896. Af- ter an appropriate speech by c. A. Beasley of Florence, he reached behind him and raising the flag from a table waved 1t in the air. The scene that fol lowed was one of the widest excitement. Standing on their chairs the men threw their hats in the air and gave utter ance to such sounds as had not been heard since the rebel yell put their enemies to flight.
 Since that time it has attended many reunions and was a conspicious object when the veterans met in Memphis last year. It Is now in the possession of Maj. A. M. ONeal. son of the late Gov. E. A. O'Neal who was colonel of this famous regiment after Colonel Smith.

ALABAMA VETERANS
 ACCEPT THE GIFTS
DO Noi AGREE WITH NEW OR LEANS CAMP ABOUT HELP OF TERED BY G. A. R. TOWARDS BUILDING HOME.

Montgomery, September 13 = Specially The action of the camp of confederate veterans in New Orleans in declining the contributions from the north which General Torrance and others are solicit ing for the home at Mountain Creek finds no responsive echo here. Contributions in response to General Iorrance's appeal are already coming in. Four came to hand today-two for $5 each and two of S1 each.
 Not a single Alabama veteran so far as heard from takes the New Orleans view of the matter. On the contrary, ar engagements are being made for joint meeting of the local camps, at which strong action will be taken to show Gen. eral Torrance and other friends at the north that the veterans here are appre- ciative of the high motives which prompt the help now being extended.

 The horses, which were attached to a loaded wagon, were unable to free them selves, and one died from the poisonous stings before Muka returned to the place. He drove the other to his home and it died upon its arrival.

Tim Murhphy.

Tim Murphy's revival of "old Inno- cence" this season is as welcome bit of news as theatre-goers of this city could wish for.
 So great was his success during the two years he played this comedy that he could have continued in 1t the past four seasons instead of bringing out new plays. But MT. Murphy Is not only ann bilious, but he has 8 great fear of be- coming too closely Identified with one part.
 It is almost impossible to- think of Jo- seph Jefferson in anything but Rip Van Winkle' or of O'Neil in Monte Cristo' and Lewis Morrison as Mephisto in Faust" and our younger actors are talk ing care not to run the same risk. But 1t looked at the beginning of Mir. Murphy s career as if Maverick Brander in "A Texas Steer" would handicap him.
 His success in '"Fhe Carpetbagger," "A Bachelors Romance" and "A Capitol Comedy" as well as "Old Innocence" has drawn him out of the rut. MT. Mur- phys appearance in this city will be at the Jefferson theatre tomorrow night.

 The flag here photographed, was made and presented to the Twenty-sixth Ala bama regiment by the ladies of Will liamsburg, Va, just after the battle of the Wilderness in which their flag was shot to pieces. and until recently has been sacredly preserved by Dr. John M. Hayes of Limestone county, reglmental surgeon.
 The regiment was originally composed of companies from Marion, Fayette, La mar and Lauderdale counties with Col w. R. Smith in command. A list of the battles through which the flag passed are printed on a piece of white satin att tached to it. They are: Yorktown, Will lamsburg Seven Pines, Mechancsvlle.

songs and musical compositions are now being successfully sung.
 The King Of The Filipinos" is spec tacular burlesque, the material for which was furnished from occurrences in our new island possessions on the other side of the globe.
 The scenes are laid by the author on the island of Samar, where the many unusual happenings with which our de- partments of state and war and the to contend combined with the natives 8 primitive ideas of government and their almost total indifference to any distinc- tion between the right and wrong has given the author opportunities of which. it is said he has taken full advantage. the result being something unique and original in operatic travesty.
 The music is bright and catchy, and of the sort that everybody huns and whis- ties. The songs are of the kind that you want to learn and sing, the dialogue is bright and the situations funny.
 Forty people are in the cast of the King Of The Filpinos." the leading comedy parts being in the hands of such well known comedians as Tommy Don- nelly. John N. Phillips Doc Quigley. Tommy Hyde and others of the well known staff of fun makers, assisted by a chorus of thirty voices.

"The TeIephone eIrl."

"The Telephone Girl will be the att traction at the Jefferson theatre Tues day matinee and night. In reviewing this years company the Richmond Dispatch said: Only a fair audience saw 'The Telephone Girl at the Academy last night. Those who were fortunate enough to hear the merry musical jingle were amply rewarded.
 As beauty show it was a glowing, glittering, shimmering success, as the Hello Girls of the chorus were young, pretty and attractive and made up in feminine physical charms what they lacked in vocal accomplishment.
 But they could sing just a little bit" and the catchy, orchestral music did the rest.
 The book of the play is clever and the costumes ornate. The comedy was pre- sented with an excellent cast
 Joe Kane' as Hans Nix was easily the star of the aggregation. His comedy character work as inspector of telephones was original, versatile and clever. In fact, one failed to discern where Kane fell short of Louis Mann. While he does not copy the famous comedian who be- came so closely identified with the role during the "Telephone Girls" run atthe New York Casino. yet there is much to remind you of Mann throughout the per formance. Kane is a rast master of the Weberfieldian dialect, and kept the audi ence convulsed whenever he was on the stage.
 Grace Mcleod as Beauty Fairfax had a good stage appearance and was pleasing in the part.
 Edith Valmaseda as "Coocoo'' was chic and graceful, and delehtfully rendered Fougere song. Arthur Conrad as "Snuffles" and Pearle Beware as "roots did some really clever dancing

Destructive Diseases

The sexual organs of man are sub jeet to more diseases and from greater variety of causes than any other organ or series of organs of man. The marked relationship which exists between diseases of the sexual system and the well-being and happiness of mankind Is of such great importance that too much stress cannot be laid upon the necessity of immediate atten- tion being given to any one of these manhood destroying maladies.
 The most important of male mala- dies, or rather those diseases which de- mand the most skill in their treatment and cure, are VARICOCELE, STRIC- TURF, NERVO-SEXUAL DEBILITY AND SYPHILITIC BLOOD POISON. Separately or collectively these four diseases are regarded by all well-in- formed physicians as the most destruc- tive of all diseases incident to the male sexual system in the overthrow and ruin of manliness and manhood. The greatest calamity, however, is not that
