Washington, d. c., June 14.-From
the Atlantic to the Pacific and from
the Great Lakes to the Gulf, this
mornings sunrise was greeted by a
raising of flags in greater number and
with more ceremony than on any
other day of the year. except perhaps
July 4. Today is Flag day, the 129th
anniversary of the creation of the
Stars and Stripes" by the American
congress. Thirty-five years after the
adoption of the flag congress ordered
that a new star should be added for
each new state admitted to the union.
There are thirty-two more stars in
that field now than when the flag was
first raised, and this number will be
increased soon by the admission of
the Southwestern territories.

Various Views of Charlotte Corday.
The contemporaries of Charlotte Cor

that her complexion had the transpar-

have thought also that "she was not

One witness says that Mile Corday
was not handsome, but her expression
was so sweet, so sweet Some say
that she was tall rather than small;
others say that she was tall; many say
that she was decidedly small. Her

CELEBRATION OF FLAG
DAY IN PHILADELPHIA
NATIONAL ANTHEM SUNG AT
BETSY ROSS HOUSE TODAY BY
MANY SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Philadelphia, Pa, June 14.-Prob-
ably in no other city of the country is
Flag Day" so generally observed as
in Philadelphia and, quite naturally,
for it was in this city that the flag was
given birth. Congress, assembled at
Independence hall 12y years ago, re-
solved, "That the flag of the thirteen
United States be thirteen stripes, al
ternate red and white; that the union
be thirteen stars, white in blue field,
representing the new constellation"
At the beginning of the Revolution
airy war, and with the formal repudia-
ton of the flag of st. George and the
Union Jack of England, there was no
American flag under which the i'm
pending battles were to be fought.
There were conglomerate colonial
flags, and here and there a private
banner of some great landed proprie-
tor, but no recognized American flag.
this fact, and the Continental of Con-
federate congress set about agreeing
upon the form, character and general
purport of one. Congress accordingly
appointed Benjamin Franklin, Thomas
Lynch and Benjamin Harrison as
committee to agree upon and formally
report flag design.
Near the close of the year 1775 they
reported in favor of adopting the
British union jack plus 13 stripes as
the flag. This report was never acted
on or at least was not adopted. Wash
ington wanted a five pointed star
added; others were inclined to adopt
a modified form of the Dutch flag with
its broad red stripes.
Finally, on June IA, IVY, congress
agreed upon flag of thirteen stripes
with 10 stars on blue field, thus APP
propriating a little here and a little
there until the star and stripe and the
colors red, white and blue appeared
upon the banner, and the Stars and
Stripes" became the insignia of the
republic. OF course every one recalls
the work of Betsy Ross, who no doubt
suggested much as well as did the
sewing of the first flag.
At the Betsy Ross house, 239 Arch
street, the national anthem was sung
today by school children and address
es appropria to the day made by

Societies. The house has been turned |
over to the Federal government by
the American Flag House and Betsy |
Ross Memorial Association. and will |
be maintained as a public memorial
and museum of colonial and revolu-
ionary relics.

IN THE FIGHTING AT MOSCOW
About Twenty-Five Hundred Persons
Killed or Wounded

Moscow, Jan. SIT is impossible to
ascertain the total losses resulting
from the ten days revolt, as many of
the dead and wounded have not been
reported at the hospitals, public or pri.

the hospitals shows there were 548
killed and 1905 wounded. One hun
dred and seventy-four of the injured
taken to hospitals have since died.
The troops lost nine killed, of whom
two were officers, and fifty-one
wounded. Among the killed or
wounded were a number of children,
the returns generally showing that in
nocent persons suffered the heaviest.

nesday will be the largest of any held
by the association since it's organiza-
tion. At the last meeting held in
Malta, all the towns of the valley ex-
cept Chinook were represented. l
hope to see Chinook send a good rep
resentation to this meeting. I believe
it might be a means Of saving those
interested in irrigation in the vicinity
Of Chinook great deal of time and
money in needless litigation. / believe
that the sentiment of the meeting
will be, not to insist, or even suggest
that any of those interested in the
private irrigation enterprise subscribe
for government water, because there
is more than the required seventy-tive
per cent necessary to start construc-
tion ready to pledge the required sub
scription for water. 1t is up to q
point of adjudication of the rights
only, and this at as early date as
possible. At no time has it proven
satisfactory to fight a proposition in
the courts where the same can be
amicably settled without the aid of
the law"
For the accommodation Of visitors,
train No will stop at all local points
between Havre and Glasgow. This
train will arrive at LIS p. m. and will
be met by reception committee.

The great day has been set and on
Wednesday, January 10th, 1906, the
good people of all Northern Montana
are asked to come to Havre and help
us celebrate an event which marks
the beginning of a great epoch in the
towns history-the completion Of one
Of the most complete and successful
water plants in the state of Montana.
For years Havre has struggled as no
other town in the county has, against
the ravages Of the fire fend, and time
and again has this element destroyed
valuable buildings, the total loss from
this source during the two years just
closing approSimating S500,000. With
out Dragging, it is safe to say that
there is not another town in the county
which could suffer such loss and rise
triumphant as Havre has done. 1t is
fit then that now, since the danger
from large losses by fire has come to
an end, that the event should be fit
tingly observed.
Some weeks ago it was proposed to
hold such celebration, and a move
ment was started, but there were some
disagreements and the date was post
poned. All disagreements have now
been settled, and the arrangements
are being pushed along by the differ
ent committees.
The call has been issued for a meet
ing of the United Milk River Irriga-
tion association to be held in Havre
on the 10th by President T.. Newman,
and the enterprising farmers, ranch
men and business men of North
Montana are expected here on that
date, both to attend to the important
matters that are to come before the
Associations meeting as well as to be
Havre's guests in the celebration
The celebration will take the form of
'smoker," and no pains or money
will be spared to entertain the guests
in the most approved fashion.
Among the possibilities of the meet
ing Of the irrigatOrs is the hope that
the troubles over the adjudication of
the water rights Of the Milk river can
be settled without the waste of the
time and money necessary to go
through the courts. There are several
plans feasible by which this could be
accomplished main difficulty be-
ing to get all parties together.
Mayor Newman, president of the
association, when asked for informa-
tion regarding the coming meeting
said: II expect that the attendance
