Flag That Inspired "The Star spansled
Banner"

Mrs. Baker explained this by saying
that the fag was presented to Col
Armistead by the government after
the fight. Mrs. Hunter says that the
flag was the private property of Col
Armistead, having been presented to
him by a committee of so Baltimore
citizens a few days before the conflict
y, hen he saw the British feet ap-
preaching he threw it to the breeze.
Col. Armistead was a brilliant Off
GER" she said. He was graduated
at West Point as a second lieutenant
in 1893, became a captain in 1906, ma
jor in 1913, brevet lieutenant colonel
in 1914 After his defense of the fort
on Sept. II, 1914, he was made a
colonel.
There was never any doubt but
that the flag belonged to him. My
mother was born in the fort some time
before the death of the colonel, which
occurred on April 25, 1918. She was
named for him, Georgiana. Her mar
riage to William Stuart Appleton of
the Boston family has already been
told.
Il remember playing under the flag
as a girl. Its history since the fight
is one mainly of the occasions when it
was exhibited. The last of these was
at the sesquicentennial celebration of
the city of I altimOre in 1880.
'Tt was also exhibited at the Centen-
nial exposition at Philadelphia In 1876,
and I think at some celebration con-
nected with the Old South Church in
about 1875, under the auspices OF
Commodore Preble. But forget the
raising of the flag at Fort McHenry
in 1926 In honor OF the visit of Gen.
Lafayette.
THE disposition Of the flag at my
brothers death is prOblematical He
may leave it to Peabody institute In
Baltimore or to a museum in Wash
ingtOn."
Neither Mrs. Hunter nor her broth
er nor her sister is connected with
any Revolutionary society, although
they all take interest in patriotic af-
fairs. Eben Appleton, the owner of
the flag, lives in Manhattan borough
and is well to do.

such evidence concerning a chipping

q peculiar song which he could not
recognize. The next season he heard
the same peculiar song in a tree but
a few yards from the original point.
This time he identified the bird, which
seemed to have learned a song of itf

Dietz, who was formerly sheriff
Of Sawyer county, whose officers he
is now defying, claims to have the
right to collect from the Chippewa
River Lumber company a fee for every
log which passes through the dam
To enforce his right he drew all
the water from the mill pond above
the dam, and left timber valued at
$4,000 on the banks to rot. The
company refused to give in, and sent
men to try TO dislodge him. He beat
of the company's men. Then the
courts were appealed to. A party sent
to attack him was fired upon and
one man slightly wounded. This stop
ped trouble for a time, until year
ago, when a new sheriff, the first haV-
ing resigned rather than make an
other raid. took party of six Milwau-

has been unable to get into a civil

of arrest. so has remained in the will

ficers have tried to starve him out,
but he remains steadfast, and during
the winter a load of about 1000
pounds of provisions, collected by ad-

the fact that those lands now hold

FLAG THAT MADE SONG
STORY OF ORIGINAL OF "THE
STAR-SP1NNLED BANNER"
Mrs. Hunter, Granddaughter of Com
mander of Fort McHenry, Gives
Her Version-Relic Now in
New York City.

New York.-Mrs. Georgiana L. F. G.
A. A. Hunter, granddaughter OF the
Col. George Armistead who command
ed Fort McHenry when the British
bombarded it during the war of 1912,
and when Francis Scott Key wrote
The Star-Spangled Banner" told re-
porter the other day what she knew
about the history of the original flag.
This, she says, was the private prop
erty of her grandfather, Col Armi-
stead, and has descended to her only
brother. Eben Appleton, of this city.
When the fort was being bOmbarded
Key went to the British frigate Min
den, one of the bOmbarding fleet, under
a flag of truce. On his way back to
Baltimore the next morning he saw
the starry flag still flying over the
fort. The sight inspired him to write
the national ode.
Mrs. Hunter had a picture of the
original flag, which shows it to have
been an unusually large garrison flag,
about 30 feet by 40. 1t has Is stripes,
as al the national flags had at that
time, one stripe for each state
The stars are well pointed, being Is
in number, except that one has been
shot away by a shell. Aside from this
rent and another at one corner, also
made by a she'll the flag is in excel
lent condition.
Mrs. Hunter differs with her sister,
Mrs. George Livingston Baker, Of s
Westervelt avenue, New Brighton,
Staten island, somewhat as to details
in the history of the flag.
Some surprise has been expressed
at different times that the flag is not
now and has not always been in the
possession of the national government.

country, and its income is much be-
yond it's requirements. Consequently
there is no reason why 1t should part
with so valuable a piece Of property
as the temple"
The present temple building In
Fifth avenue was erected at q cost
of about s16O,0O0. The architect was
Leopold Eidlitz, and it has been
spoken OF as one of the best exam
pies of Moorish architecture in this
county. The temple was dedicated
with imposing ceremonies by Rev. DR..
Isaac N. Wise, and on the day after
its doors had been opened for the first
time to the public It was free from
debt. On the death of DR., Alder, Rev.
DR.. Gustav Gottheil became the rabbi
of the congregation, and few years
later Rev. DR.. Joseph Silverman was
appointea assistant rabbi. DR.. Sill
verman succeeded DR.. Gottheil. and
has now an associate rabbi. Rev. .. J.

Washington. - France, the land of

prising innovation, through her mer-
chants, to secure more trade with
Mediterranean ports. The plan is to
hold a floating exhibition of French
products.
According to Levantine newspa-
pers," writes Consul General Gabriel
B. Ravndal from Beirut, ''Mediterran.
can ports are shortly to be visited
by an exhibition ship which is to be
fitted out with a view to gaining new
outlets for French commerce. The
vessel is to be arranged as a floating
exhibition of products suitable for ex-
port and French manufacturers and
merchants will be enabled to exhibit
their goods and samples on payment
of moderate charges. A number Of
statesmen, partly drawn from pupils
of the commercial schools, speaking
at least two languages, will be car
rted, these being under the superin-
tendence OF experienced commercial
travellers. In order to stimulate their
zeal all these employees will be paid
on commission and the widest possi-
BILE publicity is to be given to the eX-
pected arrival at the ports at which
the vessel is intended to call. At
each place the statesmen will present
their samples to the various buyers
and transmit the orders they may OBJ

them carried out A series of re-

MANY JOBS FOR GIRL

ONLY 19 YEARS OLD.
New England Young Woman Looks
After Tickets and Freight, Car

Baggage Master.

Rutland, VT. - Nineteen and a girl,
yet station agent, mail carrier, ex-
press agent, baggage master and
freight agent for the Central Yer
mont railrOad-that is Miss Bessie
Elizabeth Henley of East Granville,
in the Green Mountain range. And
she has held all these jobs since she
was IL years old.
Admiring friends claim that Miss
Hanley is the only young woman in
New England holding such a position,
or such a multitude of positions that
are so distinctively in the sphere of
the male. Although just emerged
from childhood when appointed, she
has done the work of her office for
two years without a black mark
against her record. Failure to be on
hand at train time is unknown not
only to Miss Hanley, but to most
of the residents of the hamlet.
East Granville is near the upper
nest portion of the pass in the Green
mountain range through which the
Central Vermont railway makes its
way from one side of the state Of
Vermont to the other. numbering

back into the mountains to the west,

IS Of considerable moment in the op-
Grafton of traffic through the great
ravine and to the safety and con-
venience of thousands of passengers
on the through trains between Boston
and Montreal, as well as to the hun
dreds of cars of freight which daily
pass the point. For on the care and
watchfulness Of the girl In charge Of
the cOmpany's depot, under the sheer
cliff of TIE mountainside, depend their
safety.
No difficulty is experienced by Miss
Hanley In handling everything that
comes East Granville way. She finds
the railroad men all anxious to assist
her. Although not many trunks are
taken on at the little depot Of which
she has charge, when one does show
up 1t has as much in it as the rail-
road will carry without excess rates;
and the station agents heart sank
when she saw the first old-fashioned
Saratogas intended for Transports
tion.
There are no baggage trucks for
the use of the agent, and she did
not feel equal to the task of carrying
the heavy boxes from the station plat

to the express car. Willing brake

Not many difficulties have been en-
