FLAG OF. WATTS CADETS
OLD BANNER OF MONTGOMERY OR-
 GANIzATION REsURRECTED.
Command Was Composed of Youths of This City Who Volunteered fin Closing Days of
 War.

The Confederate flag of the Watts Cadets" a Montgomery military organ ization of youths during the closing days of the war. was recently found in the overhauling of the stock of the old Englehardt store on North Court Street.
 The flag at the close of the war was retained by John Scott, an officer of the command, and son-in-law of MT Englehardt. It Is a Confederate bat tlefiag and shows in its appearance the many years that it lay in the dust and darkness.
 The company was organized during the latter part of 1864 by John Scott and William Crusius. Both of the or ganizers were Confederate soldiers and both had sustained severe wounds on Virginia battlefelds. While at home recuperating they organized the com mand, which was composed of Mont gomery youths between 14 and IS years of age. The company was named in honor of Hon. Thomas H. Watts, then Governor of Alabama. The officers of the command were Captain A. H. Moses; First Lieutenant, John Scott; Second Lieutenant, William Cru sius, and Junior Second Lieutenant T. M. Stubbs.
 The company was mustered into the SOnIeueTate driiy III tHe latter part or 1864 at the Capitol. On that occasion the company was addressed by Cover nor Watts - The men were drilled and instructed in military duty on the Capitol grounds by the Confederate soldiers who had seen service at the front. They later helped man the for tiications about Montgomery. | Upon the approach of General Will sons raiders Montgomery was evac- uated. The Watts Cadets left Mont gomery for West Point, Ga, on the same train which carried the presses, the types and files of The Advertiser The train after being abandoned near West Point was captured by the Fed erals. All the property of The Adver- tiser which had incurred the enmity of the Federals by it's allegiance to the Southern cause was destroyed. About this time the news of the surrender of General Lee reached Alabama and the members of the company returned to their homes in Montgomery. The members of the command who survive are William Crusius. William Saffold and Jacob Rupenthal
 The flag will be presented to the State Department of Archives and His tory.

MRS. SAUNDERS DEAD.
Eufaula Is Arranging for Big Mfds"m-
 meF Cue.

mex 'SoCs
 Eufa,sa, Aug. 7.-(Special. )-Mrs. :. J. R. Saunders, an old and most esi- mable woman. died at her home here on Highland Avenue this morning al o'clock. Mrs. Saunders's death was entirely unexpected as she was in ap- narently good health on Friday aftef- noon and visited friends in the neigh- borhood. Her death Is thought 10 have resulted from heart disease or which she has been complaining for the mast year or more. The deceased came here from her country home seven miles north of the city about two years ago and has made many very warm friends. She leaves son, I. w. Saunders, who resides in Mont gomery. a daughter, Mrs. A. F. Peak of this city, and several grand chill dren to mourn her loss. The funeral will take place from her late resi- dence tomorrow at an hour not yet named and the funeral exercises will be conducted by Rev. J. A. Peterson of this city.
 Liberal donations are coming in to- wards the big barbecue which will be held here on August IS. Up to this time $116 has been raised in cash sub scriptions, more than a dozen fine beeves. as many fine porkers, half as many sids and lambs and many other donations in the way of turkeys, chick ems, ices, fruits, etc, are coming in daily. All arrangements in the way of low excursion rates over the different railroads have been made and some of the best speakers in this and other States will do the honors of the occa- sion along that line. Citizens from sections half to a hundred miles away are expected to enjoy the festivities and one of the grandest times ever known in the annals of the city Is an- ticipated.
 The city is enjoying something like H building boom that 1t has not expe- rienced in many years. In addition to half a dozen new residences now under construction Dr. A. J Gilbert has the material on the ground for rebuilding his home on Randolph Street and the debris is being removed from a resi- dence which was burned some time ago pn Highland Avenue that will be re- built at an early day. In addition to these new bakery regarded equal in every respect to any in the State has just been completed and is now serv- tng the trade. The new spoke and handle factory is under full headway and work on the improvement in the Arlington Hotel has begun. The new Confederate Monument will be erected some time between now and October 1 and other enterprises are spoken of for the near future.
 Merchants are returning from their annual fall purchasing tours and new goods are crowding the depot in great quantities. Every indication points to a fine business this season and it Is thought with anything like a fair price for cotton farmers will come out ahead this winter.
 An Old Maids Convention will be held at the Carnegie auditorium on Tuesday evening for the benefit of the Library fund. The occasion is under the auspices of Miss Callie Couric of this city.
 Mrs. J. H. Poston of this city Is quite sick at her home here.

Philosophy and the nIack Yard On,

Philosophy and the BIack Yard Cat. There is a good deal to be learned from sitting at back window and looking out into the small. square en- closures that city dwellers innocently call back yards.
 There are the cats, for example. The back yard seems to be sacred to the cat. Occasionally one may be seen wandering in the streets. but usually the metropolitan cat will be found haunting the rear end of the house
 When the high fences that enclose the yards bristle with spikes four in ches long, put their by inhospitabIe man for the fcndish purpose of de- priving his feline neighbors of the delight of their midnight prowlings and howiings does the eat fly mad or get nervous prOstration oyer 1t?

Far from it.
 It just waits and watches and makes the best of some other place, until something happens to dislodge a spike or so.

 And the point Is, that life is a good deal like a back fence with a high cat guard. and the wisest thing to do Is to keep cool and watch until some of the spikes disappear and make the best of the room that you can get. even If 1t isn't all that heart can wish.

 Read released the spring, but no sooner had he done so than the eagle attacked him. It's mate, which had been watching near by, soon joined in the fight With their heavy win they beat Read to the ground, all tie while tearing his flesh and clothing with theirtalons and beaks.s Read was so taken by surprise by the att tack that it was several minutes before he thought to reach for hts pistol, which had fallen from his pocket as he was thrown on the ground. Whide protect-, ing his face with, his arm he managed to get the barrel of the pistol against one bird and fired. The other was frightened away by the report. The wounded eagle sets it's talons In the mans right thigh and held on with death grip. When he recovered from his exhaustion Read found himself unable to remove the bird.. as the muscles of the eagles claws had grown rigid. He dragged himself to his cabin and was brought to the city, where the talons were cut out. The dead easls measured nine feet from tip to tip

GiraRes for Boot Leather.

Two new sub-species of giraffe have been discovered by Maj. Powell-C Cotton, and one of them iss represented by a magnificent pair of horns now set up In the Natural History museum at South Remington. Maj. Powell Cotton sar. castically remarked at a meeting of the Geological society on Tuesday that while naturalists are forbidden to collect gi- raffe specimens for scientific purposes, the natives of east Africa are allowed to shoot them for boot leather.

nau DeCUfneT rne dominant factor In progress, and as he desired progress he entered the intellectual field. To keep pace with western civilization he must adopt western ideas and wear western clothes. So he sent his boys to the schools over the ocean, and he put on breeches-that is, in public. As soon as he returned to his home the brooches were thrown aside, and in a kimono he squatted at ease on the floor, as his ancestors had done for centuries. Japan is still in the tran- sition stage between the old and the new, but so rapidly Is she moving that in another generation the meta morphosis will be complete.
 Tn all the appellations that nave heen given the little people, such as the yankees of the east" and the English of the east" 1t is strange that no one has ever hit upon the designation that really describes them. They are the Greeks of the east. They have the same artistic quality. In all the world there is no more lovely coun- try than the Land of the Rising Sun, nor is this so much due to nature as to man. Everywhere the scenery has been beautifled. No spot of ugliness is allowed to remain. True, the famed Greek sculpture has not come yet. For that there Is plenty of time. Every other element is present, however. The home life is mulch the same. Tho re- ligion Is strikingly similar. Both are island empires and both mountainous. Now, if the parallel is made complete hy the Japs whipping Russia, as the Spartans and Athenians overcame the hosts of the Persians, the little people will have gained full right to the proud title of ''the Greeks of the orient"

Women and Japanese Theaters.

In Japan a well-bred woman does not go to the theater until she is old and ugly. It is not thought proper for her to understand music. If she is re- igious, she is termed .s1ighty." She spends most of her time at home at tending to her children and servants and performing all sorts of menial ser- vice for her husband and his family. It has been said that "a woman in Jap an does not marry for husband, but to be an unpaid servant to his fam ily."

Wise AdoIphus.

A patriotic drill was given by the kindergarten in Anthony q few days ago. It began by displaying a portrait of George Washington. Who Is this p the teacher asked. Visitors were pres ent, and of course the children failed to show off. They sat mute and unre- sponsive till finally one little fellow piped up. "I know who he isv' he shouted. 'We got that picture at home. Mamma told me who it is.'' ''Well, then, Adolphus," said the teach. CT, "you may tell us who 1t is.'' Adolphus swelled with pride. "It's our father from the country" he said Kansas City Star.
