FLUNG TO BREEZE
Handsome Flag Raised This
Morning on Grounds of
Villa de ChantaI.
PATRIOTIC PROGRAM CARRIED OUT
Fitting Observance for Anniversary
of the Battle of Bunker
Hill.

Perhaps a more appropriate date
for the flag raising at Villa de Chan
tai could not have been selected than
this one ON which, 12S years ago, was
fought the famous battle of Bunker
Hill. 1t was on the occasion of this
brilliant victory of the undisciplined
New England farmers over the vet
eran battalions of the British that
Benjamin Franklin wrote to his Eng
lish friends: England has lost her
colonies forever" And the skies and
the air were propitious this morning
to the crowd of patriotic Americans
who gathered to see the emblem of
freedom duly honored.
Many Attend.
At 1880 many citizens of Rock ISL
and. Moline and Davenport were as
sembled on the highest point of the
beautiful Villa grounds. where the
fiagpole is erected. Here. in the
bright sunshine, under the blue skies,
the program was carried out. Like
all the affairs of this progressive in
Stitution. the exercises were apprO-
pirate and attractive and character
lied by a spirit of patriotic ardor.
Rev. Thomas Mackin opened the eX-
ercises with an eloquent and impress
i've Invocation. This was followed by
My Country lis Of Thee" sung by
the pupils. "Old Glory" by James W.
Riley, was then recited by Miss Anna
Irene Larllin. and, as usual with her
work, it was enthusiast tically received.
The address on The American Flag"
by Rev. Joseph Kelly, of Moline, was
spirited ana scholarly. and delighted
the audience. The exercises conclud-
ed with the singing of the Star Span
gled Banner" by the pupils, during
which Mother Francis Borgia. assist
ed by the members of her class, raised
the beautiful flag.
The flag is 1ON2O feet. The staff,
which is "a feet out of the ground. is
crowned by an immense gold ball.
The whole thing is Il gift of f. J. No
Ian, of Yukon territory, who recently
visited the academy

Recital This Morning.

The annual morning recital at Villa
de Chantal took place also today, and.
as usual. was an artistic success. The
in atrumental quartets, duets and solos
were played with a correctness and
an animation which completely capt.
waited everyone. Tie younger per-
formers especially surprised and de
lighted their admiring friends and re
latives. The vocal selections and the
readings received much applause.
Their Graduating Essays" very
clever comedietta i'm one scene, was
charmingly enacted by two of the
seniors.
Those who contributed to the sue
cess of the numbers outside of those

which nearly all the students took
part, were the Misses Luuella Jones.
Mary Wall, Ruby Harvey, Agnes
Maucker, Marguerite Potter. Marian
Miller. Sarah Cunningham. Mary Hig-
gins, Hattie Larl>in. Clara Math. Cor
intha Wickert. Rae Rosenstein. Gen
eyieve Downing and Eleanor Byrne.
The concluding feature of the pro-
gram was the physical culture eNer-
cises of the junior and senior classes.
In the marches. drills and exercises
with Indian clubs, wands and dumb
bells, rare grace Of movement was
which spoke volumes for
the excellent training received.
Tomorrow morning the commence
ment exercises of the Villa de ChantaI
will take place in the auditorium of
the institution.

The chief, however, is game, and
never let's a little thing like getting
run ove interfere with him in the dis
charge Of his duty. So he was soon
on his feet and it was not long until
he had the three excitement promoters
lodged safely behind the bars.
However, this did not seem to salts
fy the exuberant spirits of the young
gentlemen, SO they proceeded to strike
up s.flle duloIi5 1le ueniLenS Oh the
county jail. There is a positive rule
that no n shall spit upon the floor
within the sacred precincts of those
walls, but these young gentlemen soon
made it evident that they had no inten-
ton Of observing the aforesaid rule,
as they began ejecting saliva on the
floor in a most voluminous manner
This raised the ire of several of their
fellow prisoners, who began remon-
strating with them upon the error OF
their ways. This they resented in Ian
guage strong, adding that if they
couldn't spit on the floor they would
spit in the faces of their fellow pris-
oners. Now this was adding insult to
injury and it did not take the other
prisoners long to decide on the proper
cure for this form of insanity. The
result was that the three gay youths
soon received a walloping that made
them only too glad to retire to their
cells and seek the protection of the
guards. So thorough was the lesson
they received that before showing
themselves for supper last night they
begged that a guard be sent with them
for protection. They appeared before
the justice of Precinct rs this morn
ing with all that spirit of hraegadocio
which comes from the imbibing too
freely in the extract Of corn. entirely
lacking. The usual fine with trim
mings was assessed.

two of the strongest sermons
preached by Rev. A. L. BLIZZARD,
of Fitzgerald, that we have heard
in many long years, which pro-
duced a profound effect upon the
entire congregation. Many we're
the tears of JOY that we're shed.
The congregation at Stanton
are to be congratulated in that,
that they have secured him as
their pastor for another year.
Rev. BLIZZARD is native of the old
North State, was born in old Fay-

that needth not to be ashamed,
rightly divlning the word of God.

Teller, Jr., yesterday, the world S
richest heiress was born. Few
knew that the stork was hover

intimate friends. 1t was said at
the house last night that the con-
dition of both mother and child
was favorable. The baby is now
potential heir to the following
millions:
Three hundred million dollars,
the estimated fortune of John D.

father is heir.
Twenty million dollars, the es-
timated present fortune of John

Two million five hundred
thousand, the share of Mrs.
