LINING For The FLAG.

From Oar War Records

A beautiful Example of DeyOtioh
From Our War Records.
One of the most touching as we'll as
he most beautiful examples of devo-
zion to the flag is to be found in the
records of our civil war. The Six
teenth regiment of Connecticut volun-
tcers after three days of the hardest
and bloodicst of fighting became con
vinced that defeat and capture lY The
enemy was imminent The ranks were
depleted. and to hold out longer would
only involve needlessly further sacfl-
flee of life But even in their hour or
peril the Jealous patriots thought more
of the fate of their battle SCARED nag
than OF their own. Just before lllt
final assault ON the breastwOrks the
gallant colonel shouted to his men.
whatever you do, boys don't give mp
our flag: save that ut any price. In
an instant the flag Vas torn from its
staff and cut and torn into hundreds
OF small fragments. each piece being
hidden about the person Of some one OF
its brave defenders.
The survivors Of the regiment. about
500 In number. were sent to prison
camp. where most of them remained
until the end of the war. each cherish
Inc his mite of the reSimtntal coioIS.
Through long months of Imprisonment
many died, and in all such cases the
scraps of bunting guarded by the poor
unfortunates were intrusted to the
care of some surviving comrade.
At the end of the war when the pris-
oners returned to their homes meet
ing of the survivors was held, and all
the priceless fragments of the tlug
were sewed together. But Il very few
, pieces had been lost. SO that the re.
stored emblem was made nearly COM
plete.
That flag, patched and tattered as 1t
is, forms one of the proudest posses
sions of Connecticut today and is pre-
served in the state capitol at Hartford.

Caring For the Teeth.

Without good teeth there cannot be
thorough mastication. Without thor
ouch maStication there cannot be per-
feet digestion. and consequently poor
health results: hence The paramount
Importance OF sound teeth. Clean teeth
do not decay The teeth should not be
brushed from side to side. If this Is
done the points of the gums will be 10
jured and the teeth loosened. The up
per teeth should be brushed from the
top downward from the gums to the
ends Of the teeth. the lower teeth from
the bottom upward. also from the gums
to the extremity of the teeth. 1t Is es
sential to wash the teeth at night and
wise to wash them also in the morn,

WOMEN CHESS PLAYERS.

Why None of Them Ii Mentioned In
tine Annals of the Game.
Ladies' chess clubs are being estab-
liahel in various parts of the country;
Special Inducements are held out for
their patronage by the promoters of
national and international tournaments,
ana articles on the game appear regu-
:ar.y in journals which cater specially
- them. Women have always played
md taken part in the game, though
probably never to the same extent as
row. 1t is. therefore, remarkable that
IN the whole of its enormous literature
there does not appear the name of
any woman among the stars of the
first. second or third magnitude. Ono
may go through volume after volume
containing thousands of games and not
which any editor thought worthy OF 4
permanent record.
When the question has been raised
before, it has been involved with that
of the intellectual superiority of one
Sex over the other. Today the answer
to this would be totally inadequate
and inconscquential. There are men in
the front rank of players at the pres
cnt moment who by no stretch of the
Imagination or the term can be said to
occupy their position on account of eX-
ceptionally intellectual endOwments.
While the game always appeals to in
tellectual men and women, intellect is
not the only factor which makes the
great player.
\ careful examination of the games
of players whom the world recognizes
as great reveals the fact that the fac
ultieS and qualities of concentration.
comprehensiveneSs, impartiality and.
above all, Il spark of originality, are
to be found in combination and in va
rying degrees. The absence Of these
qualities in woman explains why no
member of the feminine sex has occu-
pied any high position as chess
player.
There are many women who are ear
nest students of chess whose knowl-
edge of the theory, principles and all
the accouterments of the game is phe-
nomenal. But mere knowledge can
make nobody great. Taking results,
good Judgment is much superior to
knowledge imperfectly applied.-Lon-
don Saturday Review.

A WONDERFUL CALENDAR.
The Four Ages From the TheOsoph.
Teal Point of View.

The Four Ages From the TheOsOph.
icaI Point of View.
There is nothing more wonderful il
the chronological and time keeping line
than the Philosophical Calendar, Ac
cording to the Secret Doctrine" From
the theOsophical point of view the fouI
ages are as follows: Sata yuga (goldeI
age. 1.72S.000 years; tresta yuga (sil.
yer age. 100000 years; dwapara
yuga copper ageJ, $4,000 years; kal
yuga iron age. $4,000 years The
total of these four ages makes one
maha yuga. or great age, of 1920. DOC
years. One thousand maha yugas
make one kalpa. or day of Brahma,
equal to 1000 times 100000 years
After the expiration of that unthink,
able period of time the night of Brah,
ma, equal in duration to the length OF
the day, comes on, and the earth van,
ishes from the plane of existence
Three hundred and sixty days and
nights of Brahma make one year of
Brahma. and 100 years Of Brahma
make the great kalpa, Il period Of 81 :
C40,000,000,000 years, after which the
sun and the entire solar system plunge
into impenetrable night and every,
thing on the collective plane" is de
stroyed. Then comes the period known
as the great night. which is equal In
length to the great kalpa. After the
great night has lifted its sable mantle
new solar system is formed and evo
luton begins anew.
According to the doctrine of the the
osophists, we are now living in the
kali yuga, the last of the four ages
and it began nearly 5000 years ago
with the death of Krishna, who died
3,102 years before our era began. The
first minor cycle of kali yuga ended
in the years 1S97-9S. but we still have
something like 200 before we ar
rive at the end of the present age.
Kali yuga is also known to the the
osophists as the black age. 1t is an
age of spiritual darkness, In which the
human race pays for the misdeeds
which are recorded against them in the
previous ages.

Church and State
Issue in France.

That France is facing a grave
crisis in the issue between the gov
eminent and the Vatican, over the
enforcement of the church and state
separation law, passed in 1881, there
can be no question and, although
there is still hope that the matter
will be settled without violence, a
feeling of unrest and resentment pre-
walls throughout the republic that
may, any moment, result in open re,
bellion.
there is considerable misapprehen-
sion in this country relative to the
law in question and many causes
have been ascribed for the condition
which now co2fronts the people Of
France. The expulsion from France

government to the utmost.

The City's Real Estate
Purchase and the Facts.

In reference to The Journals edi.
torial yesterday on the matter of the
purchase of a city stock lot, the fol-
lowing has been received from Alder
man P. K. Yonge. OF the finance COM
mittee:
Editor Pensacola Journal:
Referring to your editorial in to-
days Journal on "A Useless Purchase
OF Real Estate am sure same was
written without investigation of the
facts.
The property referred to south of st.
Michaers cemetery does not belong
to the city. Upon a former occasion
the city had the title to this land in
vestigated and the then city attorney
gave his written opinion that the prop
erty belonged TO the Catholic church
} An Investigation of the records shows
that it is still owned by the Catho-
! lie church.
With this point disposed of, your
whole contention goes to pieces. for
certainly you will not insist that the
argument to the effect that I'VE have
bought the property and will have 70
pay for ii anyway" is particularly
weak, when it is explained to you that

the councils instructions. and after
carefully considering several sites. Sc
lected the one under discussion.

received the deed. duly approved by
the city attorney. four weeks ago
The fact that the price was $3.50
Instead of something over $4,000" as
your editorial puts il. does not affect
The real question, but simply proves
that You were woefully mis.informed
upon the whole matter.
PIX. YONGE.
II is quite likely that The Journal
vas misinformed in the matter of the
ownership of the property south of ST
Michaers cemetery though the same
information was presented to the coun-
Gil in recent report of the board of
public works and we failed to note
where any member of the council
questioned the statement at that time,

property In the northern part of the
city. reported to the council that the
| city did own the property south of
ST Michaefs cemetery and in the alb
sence of any contradiction on the part
OF any member of the council at that
time. The Journal, and the public gen-
orally. We think, may be very properly
excused for accepting that report as a
truthful statement of the facts.
II, however, as Alderman Yonge
says, the records show this property
to belong to the Catholic church, that
fact would eliminate 1t from the ques-
tion.
We have, therefore, the position of
the board of works on the one hand
and Alderman Yonge and, We presume,
the balance Oh the council on the other.
But for our own part, we never knew
that the church claimed this property
nor are we satified that claim could
be made effective. We do know that
the city maps all show this propert, to
De a street. that the city map just
issued by Hooton & Watson show 1t

year cleaned the property up and has
since improved it by filling in the
low parts with sand and refuse
In addition to this, We understand
that the city either owns or has fairly
good claim to a large portion of
Block l, just east of Cevallos street
and between Romano and Intendencia
streets. While the city was buying
real estate, it would not have been a
had idea to have investigated the
ownership of this property. If such
investigation was made by the city
council, we have not noted it,
AS to the price paid for the councils
recent purchase-which. however, as
Alderman Yonge say, does not affect
the real questionable Journal readily
acknowledges that it was in error. The
Journal referred to 1t as something
over $1,000" when as a matter of fact
the appropriation of $4,000 was for
both the lot and improvements which
the council purposes to put on it.
Now, so that the public may not
misunderstood this matter, are Alder
man Yonge and the council prepared
to say that the city does not own or
has no reasonable claim to the prop
ertyty south of st. Michaels cemetery
or to the portion of Block 1, referred
to above?

protruding. The sand which was left
in the sewers, he said, would be
washed down into the low places and
remain there He also said that he
had called the attention OF the Bond
Trustees to the matter on several oc-
casions.
Asked as to his opinion of the
work, he said that he would call it
"a blind ditch with sewer connection"
and that the sewers could leak for
fully one year before being detected.
Assistant Engineer Rommef.
Assistant Engineer Rommel was
then requested to make statement.
1t was to the effect that test OF
the work could not be made at the
present time for the reason that
while the manholes had been built
the pipes had not Deen opened into
tham. The work, he said. was being
satisfactorily done, and when the
proper time came it would be thor
oughly tested. and that the contract
specified that the contractor would be
responsible for one year after its
completion, so that if any defects
were found he would be compelled TO
make them good.
Mr.. Muldon then moved, after
hearing the statements of all con-
cerned. that nothing warranted inter
ference by the council.
Il protest against that" quickly
said Mr.. Boyer, whereupon Alderman
Renshaw said that if Mr.. Boyer was
set upon" in such manner it might
have the effect of lettering others,
who might so desire, to report mat
tiers regarding city work, but who
would hesitate.
Alderman Muldon said he did not
intend his motion in that manner;
that the statement of Mr.. Boyer re-
garding the work demanded some at
tention by the council. This had
been given and the matter investiga-
ted and found that it was through
Mr. Boyer not being conversant with
the means of laying and testing the
sewers that he had made the state
ment.
Mr.. Boyer in reply said that he
had been told by prominent and re-
liable citizen of East Hill that if the
sewerage work is being properly done
it is because the contractor desires
to do his duty, as the engineers knew
nothing of the work, as it progressed.
Chairman Green Again Speaks.
To this Chairman Green took eX-
ception, and said that everything pos
sible had been done; that engineers
of reputation had been employed,
and that their regulations were at
stake. He said the city should have
confidence in them, and that it would
be childish to ask of the engineers If
the sewers were going to be properly
tested. In a sarcastic manner he
said that it was pity that engineers
were not secured at home,
To this Mr.. Boyer said: Never
mind that Mr. Green; you may be a
smart man, but there are others who
know something"
Here Alderman Muldon introduced
his resolution, and in speaking on it
said that the council had every con-
fidence in the Bond Trustees and the
engineers, and that it would be al
most a public calamity for anything
to interfere with the work of the
trustees
Alderman Reilly spoke in similar
strain, and it was moved that the vote
upon the resolution be by roll call.
This was carried and the calling of
the roll showed that 1t had been car
ried unanimously.

Possibilities of the
Pensacola Horse Show.

In connection with the proposition,
recently advanced, to make the Pen
sacola Horse Show an annual fea-
tare in this city, and upon D much
more elaborate scale than the show
held short time ago, and which
was such pronounced success from
both social and financial point of
view, the report. Of President Vandi-
yer, of the Alabama Agricultural AS.
ISOLATION, which conducted the Mont
gomery State Fair, is interesting, in
that il demonstrates that shows and
exhibitions of this character can be
made to pay good profit. over and
above all expenses.
The financial statement of Mr. Van
diver shows that the Montgomery
State Fair netted profit of between
$4,700 and $4,000, Notwithstanding
the fact that the fair was upon a
large scale and was the first one held
by the association. A conservative
estimate Of the value of property now
held by the Alabama Association is
$4,000.
A feature which, no doubt, con-
tributed materially to the success OF
the Montgomery fair was an arrange
ment with the railroads entering that
city whereby coupon tickets, which
included admission to the fair
grounds as well as transportation
thereto. were sold at all stations in
the territory tributary to Montgom-
cry at a specially low rate, and there
is no reason why similar arrange
ment could not be made for the bene-
fit of those who desired to visit Pen
sacola upon the occasion of the an
nual Horse Show.
The committee in charge of the
Montgomery exposition is already
planning for a fair next year upon a
much more elaborate scale, and that
it will be success is foregone con-
clusion
That the Pensacola Horse Show
can be made an annual feature that
will attract hundreds to the city there
is no question, and that it can even
tually be developed into an exposi-
ton that will prove of great value in
developing the resources and posi-
bilities of Pensacola and West Flor
ida Is equally sure. All that is needed
is little of the energy, enterprise
and public spirit that has always been
an important factor in the upbuilding
of every really progressive city and
community in the land.
