RUSSiR'S HOLY BATTLE FLAGS,
Common Soldiers Regard Them With
Much Veneratlon.

Among the many old-fashioned Gus
toms still in vogue in Russia is that
Of carrying flags on the battlefield,
and the standard presented by the
car the other day to the Siberian
Rifles will be defended 10 the last by
the bravest Of the regiment.
The flags carried by the various
regiments Of the Russian army are
gorgeous affairs, richly decorated with
embroidery, each bearing picture Of
the patron saint of the Particular ter
ritorial district Of the corps. These
flags are re ,arded as Goubly sacred
Ivy the Russian soldiers, inasmuch as
they not only form q rallylng point,
but ever hold before their eyes . sym
Dol Of the re igion Of the country. And
the Russian peasant soldier is deeply
religious
Nowadays, however tho carrying OF
q standard or colcrs in l,arfare is an
anachronism II is the survival Of
ancient days, when men fought with
the sword. The battlef g was then
the signal by which an army adj
yanced, held its ground or retired.
Modern firearms have made the use
Of colors ir ossiblo in the field, for
G. ny would only act as drawback TO
rapid skirmishng and, moreover,
would provide a prominent mark on
which the enemy could range his ar.
tilery
But that is nothing to the Russian
military authorities, who still depend
ol the sheer weight and numbers Of
their men to bear down the enemy II

Famous Civil War Fighters Hold cons
vention and a Campfire.


Hartford, Conn. May 10.--Remarka-
bic gatherings OF civil war veterans
were held in this city amid scenes Of
patriotic enthusiasm which scarcely

department enoampment OF the @. A.
r. was held. with Department Com
mander Morgan G.. Bulkeley presiding.
IL was the best attended gathering Of
this kind In years by reason OF the de-
sire Of the Connecticut men to give to
the Potomac veterans a hearty vel

separately for the transaction Of busi-
ness, the comrades fraternized through
out the day and finally met in a gem
erai campfire at Parsons theater in the
evening. at which the scene was in
tensely interesting The welcome OF
the state was given by Governor Abi-
/ ram Chamberlain, 10 which Major
General Brook responded in behalf OF
the Army of the Potomac. Many other
addresses were made the grafton being
by Major General Nelson NJ. Curtis.
One feature of the campfire was the
singing of war songs, and an incident
was the presentation to Department
Commander Bulkeley OF a loving cup.

today new officers were chosen, Gen
eral Horatio c. King. for twenty five

CLUBS NEW'ntADuBARTERs
Roosevelt Working Mems Club Located
at Fourth and shipley Streets.

Headquarters for the campaign OF 1904
have been rented by the Roosevelt Work
ingmcn's Club of Delaware In the hall on
the second floor of the building al the
northeast corner of Fourth and Shipley
streets in this city.
The enormous membership OF the club

The workingmen know that President
Roosevelt has shown great friendship for
labor in every official position ne has held,
as Governor of New York civil service
commissioner assistant secretary OF the
navy, IN the Spanish war and as President.
and they desire to show their appreciation
by actively helping in his re-e.eotion. This
club affords them the opportunity and
they are therefore doing everything pos
sibly TO add 10 the already large mem
bership as a tribute to the President and
showing the confidence Of the people Of
Delaware in his honesty OF purpose and
high character.
This club ls entirely independent OF iocal
party factions and impartial in the un-
fortunate controversy. because it's mem
bership and board includes men from both
divisions Of the party, and it's principles
and policies confne its work TO the inter-
ests OF the National Republican party and
the reelection of President Roosevelt.
This gives the club great strength and tho
support of all Republicans and of the
many Democratic workinemen who de-
sire the reelection Of the President
1t is expected that one of the men high
est in Official Washington life will speak
at the first big mass-mcetng of the club
In the near future but the committee pre-
fers not to announce his name until the
