THE FIRST PATRIOTIC SONG.
BY HELEN BROWN,

49,
The puritans of England held music
in no very high esteem. They held
i'll adherence piping with organs,
singing, ringing and trowling Of psalms
from one side of the choir to the other,"
rs complained of in their protest to
Parliament. In fact, their fanaticism
bred so much hatred for such things
that they came to look upon music
as positively unchristian. So the Pill
grims brought 10 America with them
the style of music that prevailed when
they left tne mother country, which
goes without saying that it was not of
the most inspiring, cheering kind.
The generation preceding the Revolu-.
ton is referred to as the "Psaim-sing.
ing generation" The Colonies were
absorbed with the task Of revising
and republishng the Psalms.
In 1713 an organ was introduced into
Boston, but the prejudice was so great
that the instrument remained unpacked
in the porch Of the church for seven
months.
Up to this time there had been no
native compositions, but little later
OH the first compositions were the work
Of one William Billings, tanner by
trade. AS Psalm-singing still prevailed
his first production was tho "New Eng
land Psalm Singer" which was fol-
lowed by Singing Masters Assistant"
and "Music in Miniature" His later
works were of patriotic order and
it is due to this fact that they became
so popular. His Lamentations Over
Boston" brcathed the spirit of the

Discredits Ryan's Plan.

Albany, N. Y, Specialize report
of Superintendent Hendricks, of the
State insurance department, to Gov
ernor Higgins, upon his investigation
of the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety was made public here and in
New York.
It is described in the title as "a
Preliminary Report" and it sharply
criticises the management of the So
ciety as we'll as the new trust ar
rangement for voting the stock agreed
upon by Thomas z. Ryan and the three
trustees designated by him.
In conclusion, Superintendent Hen

in this society. A cancer cannot be
cured b. treating the symptoms.
Complete naturalization with the eli
mination of the stock, to be paid for at
a price only commensurate with its
dividends, is, in my opinion, the only
sure measure of relief.

evidence taken on this investigation,

General for such action thereon as

The FIRST FLAGS.

In July, 177755, on Prospect Hill, Gen
cral Israel Putnam raised a flag upon
which was inscribed the motto Of Con-
necticnt, "Qni transtuit sustinet," and
on the reverse were written the words
IAN Appeal to Heaven" In October,
11775, the floating batteries of Boston
carried a flag with the motto IAN Ap-
peal to Heaven" the design being a
pine tree on white field. Virginia
carried flag in 1775 which displayed
Il rattlesnakc coilcd us il about to
strike, and the motto. Don't tread on
me-" When General Washington as
sumed command Of the motley army
gathered before Boston in January,
lII7G, the flag raised at his headquarters
had the thirteen rcd and white stripes
just rs they are to this day, but the
union was formed Of the crosses Of st.
George and st. Andrew displayed on
Il blue ground. 1t is said that when
the British regulars SAW it they sup
posed it was an evidence of submis-
sion to the King, who had just issued
his proclamation.

OF bunting was that flag. The white
