SONG THAT LINCOLN LIKED.
Written by Soldier and Lives After
He Died, Poor and Unknown.


''One of the old patriotic songs that has
outllved most of its competitors and seems
likely to last for all time is The Flag of
the Free, said music publisher, ''and
II has little history of its own. For one
thing. IL was composed under circum-
stances which ought to give it the right
sort of ring.
Harrison Millard composed it when the
civil war was at its height Willard had
enlisted in one of the Massachusetts, vol
unteer regiments He had just returned
from an extended tour through Europe.
where he had studied music and had ap-
peared as concert singer. He fought
bravely at the front and rose to the rank
of colonel: and in odd moments he used to
write music. One day he finished a new
composition, which he named The Flag
of the Free, and gave il to the regimental
band 10 play. 1t became very popular
with the men in the regiment, and at their
request was often played when they were
on the march.
when Harrison's regiment was re-
viewed at Washington by President Lin
coin that was the air the band played.
The bandsmen put their whole souls into
their playing that day. and the melody
sounded exceptionally fine. Mr. Lincoln S
son, who was standing on the White
House steps with his father, asked the
president:
Dad. what is the tune that regimentaI
band from Massachusetts is playing?
Mr. Lincolns fancy had been caught
by the air, too. He asked Colonel Willard
about it, and. on learning that 1t was his
own. complimented him on it,
Willard died in this city about three
years ago, poor and practically unknown.
He was not buried with military honors
for few remembered his services TO his
country. But his memory will live in tina
song he wrote. After the war he held an

lands second term, when he was dis

MOVEMTNT is on foot among the
n colored population of the city TO
organize a colored Elks' lodge.
Papers and ritual for the organization
of the lodge have been secured, it is
said. and meeting has already been
held to consider the matter. The col
ored men, il is asserted, are all in IA
vor or organizing, and the lodge will
be Instituted as soon as possible. There
will be no protest raised by the white
order, but the colored men will not be
recognized as Elks by their white
brothers, and their lodge won't be hon
ored as an Elk organization.
The movement here among the COL
ored men was started by William
Worse, one of the leading men among
the colered population. For some time
past the colored men have been con-
sidering the matter of organizing a
lodge, and a large number Of men sig
nif1ed their willingness to join the or
der, if organization papers and ritual
could be secured.
To do this communication was opened
with the colored lodge of Elks at Nor
folk, Va. In that place there is lodge,
and in Cincinnati there is another lodge
of coIored people calling themselves

zation and ritual papers were secured
by Worse, and the matter was laid be-
fore the colored people here at meet

a large number present, and all signi-
fed their intention of becoming mem
bers if the order were instituted The
matter is now in the hands of commit
tees, and il is expected that within a
short time a colored lodge will be es-
tablished.
A number of the members of the
white lodge, when seen yesterday about
the matter, said there would be no use
in making a protest against the organi-
cation of a colored lodge, because the
colored men had right to organize
any lodge they chose and call it Elks,
if they so desired.
The members of the colored order,
they said, however, would not be re-
garded or recognized as Elks, nor
would their lodge be classed as genu-

haven't the correct ritual, and they
cannot get it. Neither of the two col

While the important testimony of

made for Minnie Mitchell came to
help the theory Of the police that the
body was that of Miss Mitchell, DR. Jo-
seph Springer, the coroner's physician,
steadfastly maintained that it was not
her body, and gave the coroner the
following statement:

"On Aug. ! held a post mortem ex-
animation upon the body of an I'M

HITCH In NEW JAIL.
Council Committees Reject Proposals
to Give Rivals Another Chance.


Salt Lakes proposed city jail is as
remote as ever. Last night, when it
was expected the contract for its erec-
ton would be awarded, the council
committees on jail site and police and
prison rejected all estimates and plans
submitted by the various contracting
firms, and decided to recommend that
the board of public works be instructed
to readvertise for the next thirty days
for plans and bids for a Jail, the cost
not to exceed $35, 000-
The action of the committees is pc
culiar in view of the fact that last Fri
day night the plans of the Van Dorm
Iron Works company of Cleveland. o.,
were adopted. with the understanding
that if Building Inspector Ulmer found
the plans covered all propositions the
awarding of the contract to the Cleve-
land firm would be recommended.
After Building Inspector Ulmer last
night submitted a favorable report on
the plans of the Van Dorm company.
representatives of the DiebOld Safe &
Lock company and the Pauley Jail
Building company made pleas for an
extension of time These competitors
of the Van Dorm company claimed their
plans were hastily drawn and offered
better ones if the matter were deferred
a month.
Representative Hall OF the Van Dorm
company objected to the time extern
sion on the ground that the plans sub
mitted by his company had already
been passed on. The members of the
committees. however, could not see il
in that light. and when Mr. Hall Of
fered to prove his assertion by a refer
ence TO the minutes of last Fridays
meeting it was found that no minutes
were kept.
After another half-hour's wrangling
the committees decided on the rejec-
ton of all estimates and plans and the
advertisement of others
