FIRST FLAG IN NEW YORK.
How star-Spangied Banner Was Lost
 to Maryland. .t

Mrs. George Livingston Baker of $ Westervelt avenue, New Brighton. Staten Island. is authority for the statement that the star-spangled ban ner which flew over Fort McHenry durings bombardment in the war of 1912 and inspired Francis Scott Key to the composition of the national ode Is in the city. Mrs. Baker is the granddaughter of Col. George Armi- stead The flag. she says, is the prop erty of Eben Appleton of this city, her brother, and has been deposited by hlm in the safe deposit vaults of Broadway trust company Mrs. Baker declined to give any more definite ad- dress for her brother or the name of the trust company. Her brother had been annoyed so much on account ot his ownership of the flag, she said, that he wished his address and the place of deposit of the flag kept private
 The flag came into the possession of ny brother in this way It was o'iginally the property of the govern ment, Of course. After the fort had been successfully defended against the British in the fight which prompted Francis Scott Key to write the nation al ode. the government presented the flag to Col Armistead in recognition of his conduct of the defense. He died soon after. Three months after his death h.s widow gave birth to little girl. to whom the flag descended, She married William Stuart Appleton of the Bt ston family. who then went to Baltimore, her home. to live. My brother Eben and I are their only sur viving children. On my mothers death the flag was left to Eben, and to me all the pictures and data concerning it.
 Tt was my brothers idea, for as southerner he Is devoted to his state, to leave 1t to Maryland or one of it's historical museums. But some years ago a number of men who were get ting up a horse race in Pimlico, Md, thought they would like to have the flag at the race. They wrote to my brother to this effect. When he re- piled, expressing his surprise that they ask for the flag for such a trifiing use. they boarded train and came to my brothers house at time most incon- vsnient. They had been drinking. and the upshot of their visit to ask the loan of the flag was that they went away angry, and my brother was so enragcd at their lack of respect for the relic that he vowed the flag should never go to Maryland."-New York

from an Alabama farmer asking that
the commissioner send him some i'm
migrants, as he is badly in need of
labor In his reply, Mr.. Koiner de-
clared that this will be impossible in
the first place, because he cannot sup
ply the demand in TINS State, and in
the next. because he could not, If he
SWould, send into another State immi-
grants secured for Virginia.
The commissioner is also in receipt
of letter from an Arkansas man, ask
ing how he can grow Albemarle pip
pins in his State. To this Mr.. Koiner
replied thas this famous apple is adapt
ed only to Virginia soil. He sent both
the men handbooks showing yirgInia's

If they would locate here, they could
