THE FIRST FLAG IN
THE PHILIPPINES

The members of Greenwood Post,
the Woman's Relief Corps, the Ladies
of the G. A. R. and the friends who
at I o'clock last Monday morning to
attend the National Encamp.nent,
Grand Army OF the Republic. carried
with them the first flag unfurled upon
the soil of the Philippine Islands after
Admiral Dewey's famous naval victory
in Manila bay May lst, 1898, and it was
a conspicuous feature in the big mill
tary parade yesterday and attracted
much attention from the thousands of
people that thronged the streets along
the line of march.
When the First Colorado Volunteers
were ordered to the Orient as a part of
the military expedition under General
Wesley Merritt, who had beer. .ordered
to the Philippines with 10000 men TO
assist Admiral Dewey in the capture of
Manila, they passed through this city
and were greeted at the railroad sta
tion by several hundred people who
cheered them with patriotic f-rvor.
As the train was leaving Adjutant VIII
Sweeney snatched from the hands OF
Jas. H. Peabody, subsequently elected
governor of the state, large American
flag which he promised to restore to
its owner if he should live to return to
the United States.
General Merritt arrived at Cavite
July 25 with the first and second divi-
sions of the expedition and went into
camp at Csvite to await the third di-
vision under Gen. Macarthur. which
was expected week or so later. before
beginning operations against the Span
ish troops. The Colorado regiment was
one Of the first to go ashore from the
transport and on landing Adjutant
Sweeney raised the Stars and Stripes.
which was the first time Old Glory was
unfurled in the Philippines in opposi-
tion to the constituted authority.
Manila surrendered to the American
forces Aug. 10, when Flag Lieut..
Brumley, of the Cruiser Olympia. low
cred the Spanish flag from the fort and
ran up the American ensign where it
has since waved as the symbol of
American sovereignty in the Philip
pines.
After some hard campaigning against
Aguinaldo the Colorado regiment was
ordered home and the flag which Adit.
Sweeney took with him was brought
back and returned to its owner, as
promised. Gov. Peabody naturally is
very proud of the flag and OF the part
it played in the American conquest in
the far east and it was only through
the personal guarantee OF Capt. II. NJ.

Return of Pastor Welcomed

Rev. DIR. George w. Miller, of the
First Nj. E. Church, preached yester-
day morning his first sermon after his
return from the annual Conference,
and the initial homily of his third
year in the charge. His text was ::
''And when they had lifted up their
ewes, they saw no man, save Jesus
only" " Matthew. 17;S The text is
the conclusion of the record of the
TRANSPORTATION on the Mount. DR..
Miller said that it was the duty of the
church to preach Christ only. II
should make no concession to anyone
on this point. The cultured Paul
made none.
The minister said knowing Jesus
only was to advance civilization, was
to keep the church in the right path.
and was the only hope of the individ-
ual Christian to live a correct life,
and to secure his salvation. To know
Jesus only is to accept the doctrine
that Jesus Christ came into the world
to save sinners. " Service will be
held in the church every night of Eas-
ter week except upon Saturday. At
the conclusion of the morning service
a number of the congregation went to
the chancel and heartily welcomed the
pastor ON his return to them as their
minister

THE ROADS ARE BAD.
South River Shell Road Is Said
to Be In Dangerous
Condition.

Bitter complaints are being made
by those residents of the county who
are forced to use the road leading from
Annapolis to DayidsonYille. 1t is said
TO be in an exerable state and is a
menace TO life and livestock. That
stretch leading from Camp Parole to
South River bridge cost the county
over s., 600 to construct and although
some money has been spent on il since
that time good portion of the road
is lost.
Beaver Dam hill, which is but a
short distance from Camp Parole, is
SO badly washed that false step in
the dark would result disastrously to
a horse aud the occupants of the We
hicle it was drawing. 1t is said that
a proper crown was not put ON the
road before the shells were distributed
and that the hill can never be made
safe until it is crowned. At the foot
of the hill the mountain break, to
carry the water from one side of the
road to the other has rotted away and
a gaping hole lies in wait for the first
horse which puts his foot in that
spot.
1t is said that the road commission
ers have been asked frequently TO re-
pair the road, but nothing has been
done, in spite of the fact that the road
tax has been increased five cents. In
many places the sand cuts have made
their way into the road and covered
the shells to a depth of several in
ches. 1t is proposed to call meeting
of the taxpayers of the road district
to protest 10 the commissioners against
the continued neglect of the road

SERVICE At ST. MARY'S.
A SOLEMN OBSERVANCE OF
PASSION SUNDAY.
Altar Decorations at The Church
Appropriate to The
Occasion.

The shock felt ON entering St Mary S
Church yesterday exemplities and ac-
centuates the use of symbolism in rit-
ual. for the sight of the purple draped
altar and images instantly brought
the recollection of the reason for its
use ln@the white embroidery of the
antipendiums, the thorn wreaths and
nails the passion flowers aud the cross
effectively told their story.
At the O'Clock Mass the Rev. JAS
Barron preached on the subject of the
purple in the sanctuary, closing with
the lesson that so surely as beneath
the draped cross was the figure of Our
Lord, so in the cross each one is call
ed TO bear is hidden a precious grace
of God.
The Very Rev. William Lucking,
q. IS. r., of Baltimore, Provincial
of the Congregation of the Most Holy
Redeemer, spoke at the 10 30 o'clock
Mass of Rome and it's Pontiff, giving
a sketch of his visit last December,
on the occasion of the Jubilee of the
immaculate Conception. and of the
canonization of a lay brother of the
order. St Gerard Mayella. The sen
timents which overwhelm the Catho-
lie visitor to the shrine of st. Peter,
the first Pope, brought prisoner to
this spot and cruoified with his head
downward the contrast afforded by
the solemn payment of the entrance of
his successor of today into this temple
were beautifully told.
His description of the Holy Father
whose humility and holiness cause
him to be spoken of as the Man of
God, of his great love for his spirit
ual children throughout the world,
brought tears to many eyes, for Oatho-
lies seem to have a truly flial love
for their sovereign ruler In an an
dience the Holy Father commissioned
Father Lucking to impart his special
benediction To all the faithful under
the charge Of the Redemptorist Order
At the close OF his discourse he gave
this Papal blessing to the congrega-
tion.
The Very Rev. Father Hanley hav-
ing found it impractioable to return
to preach the evening sermon. it was
given by the Rev. Father Barron, who
spoke of the two classes of Catholics,
those who obey the teaching of the
and those who neglect their
duties as Catholics andsrun thesrisk of
dying impenitent. After the sermon
he gave the Benediction of the Most
Blessed Sacrament.

NEW MINISTER breaches.
REV. I. L. WALSH ASSUMES
HIS DUTIES.
Interesting Sermons Morning And
Evening at The Maryland
Avenue Church.

The Rev. J. L. Walsh occupied the
pulpit at Maryland Avenue NJ. L.
Church yesterday morning for the first
time. He preached from Isaiah. 4th
chapter and 9th verse: "Be of good
cheer 4" He said in part:
There are two interpretations TO be
placed ON the words of the text.
First. one that connects courage with
bravery; second, one that connects
courage with encouragement. This
Is the high note of the great prophet
Isaiah in time of great darkness in
Israel. This note belongs to every
time and is rs much TO Us as to any
age. To be of good courage is at once
suggestive of the existence of dis
couragement and the causes that bring
discouragement, they are the incidents
of our life here
An imperfect view of God Contri-
butes to discOuragement knowledge
of the existence of evil and the thought
that God is responsible for il brings
discouragement. Good men are even
discouraged by the apparent slowness
of the advance of Gods kingdom.
These men only see one side of the
time. In our view of men we see
signs that bring dscouragement.
We see them still worldly, while so
much has been done for them. There
are signs of discouragement in one $
self. We do not make the progress
that we would But no man ever
reaches his ideal We are aspiring to
that which is beyond Paul said /
press onward toward the mark.
Some of US fall so far short of our
ideal that we stop short and begin to
go back and fall further away from our
mark. The body is affected by discour.
agement. We fret and worry so much
that our human frame is injured by it.
This is hard 10 counterbalance.
I've find some people that instead
of being masters of their spirits, thew
are ruled by il. They are over.
whelmned by all that is against them.
Others there are that under the same
conditions rise over them. Encourage.
ment Is open TO every one. Be of good
courage. Thus show that the natural
state is that of encouragement. The
man Jwho fulfills this injunction is an
optimist. He is of good cheer. Every
man sees the night, hut the optimist
thinks more of the day than of the
night and therefore is happy He pre-
ters the good side of life. This fact
appears in his relation TO men. Where
he goes he carries good cheer. He
shows it in his face. When we are in
his state we realize that we are in
our natural state. But such q precept
as this Be of good courage would
have no effect il there had been no
examples before us.
80 We see Carlyle in his history of
the French revolution After years
of hard toll; after ne had spent much
labor in procuring manuscripts, all
were destroyed and his labor of years
wasted Nevertheless he was of good
courage and commenced over again
and finally came forth with a great
book. Paul was the embodiment of
good couragement. We see him in
