As usual Of late. there was lively bid

BIRTH OF AMERICAN FLAG.
to Grand Army on Observance
 of Flag Day.

A~NS
 The Grand Army posts of the state have received from Warren Lee Goss, national patriotic instructor of the dr. garization, the following Address to the American People" on "The Birth of the American Flag:
 Friday, the 14th of June, will be the one hundred and thirtieth anniversary of the birth of the flag of the United States. The flag was designed for na- tion of thirteen colonies, stretched like belt along the Atlantic coast, made up of less than three millions of people without common tradition or language; drawn together only by common danger from savages within and oppression from without, which threatened their existence and liberties. That flag now waves over q great nation, extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the lakes from the Atlantic to beyond the Fa- ciffc sea, and inhabited by nearly nine- ty millions of people, who speak a common language.
 Our flag is now-in form-the oldest flag of civilized nations. The resolution by congress for the adoption of the Stars and Stripes on June IA, TIT, was as follows: Resolved, That the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the Union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation"
 The design of this flag is credited to George Washington, and in part was taken from his family coat of arms. Such is the origin of flag dedicated to the proposition that ''all men are cre- ated free and equal" Let us honor the natal day of our national flag, display ing 1t from our public buildings, schools and homes in recognition of this me- norable day.
 The men of the Grand Army of the Republic, who preserved the nation in the greatest war of modern times and made vital the declaration of our fath- CTS, call upon all who live under the flag to recognize this day by patriotic observances in schools and-on the Sunday preceding-in churches.
 To this end we suggest that the gov. ernor of every state, by proclamation announce the day and promote its rec. ognition; that the press scatter this call-as seeds of patrlotism-broadcas over the land. Such recognition vii nourish the greatness of our nation, in. oulcate noble citizenship, the principles of civil liberty, and be an object lessor to the new generations that have come upon the stage since the Civil war.

THE ELKs, BIG TIME.
Preparations for the Reunion in Phil
 ndeIphia.

Evidence of the general interest that is being taken in Philadelphia in the Elks reunion to be held there July 15- 10, is shown on all sides. The Masonic fraternity, through Grand Master George w. Kendrick, Jr., has extended a cordial invitation to all Elks to vis- it the beautiful temple on Broad street. said to be the most magnificent build ines In this country devoted to the old est of all the fraternities The Eagles, Red Men, Knights of Columbus, as al- so the Harmer club and the republican campaign committee, are to keep open house all the week
 + is doubtful If in the history of f Girard college so broad and general an Invitation has been given to anybody of men as has been rendered to the Elks. The gates of the college grounds will be thrown wide open, and all visitors wearing the official badge will, be ad- mtted without the usual pass required of other strangers. Invitations exclus- lively to the ladies accompany the Elks have been extended by the manager of the Geological Gardens. and also by the management of the Philadelphia ball club. Ladies wearing the official badge will be admitted free to the Zoo and the ball grounds all the week.
 Wednesday, July +, will be Elks' day at the White City park, and all Elks and ladies wearing the official badge will be admitted to every amuse- ment In the park free. These few in stances are but indications of the gen. eral spirit of hospitality to be display ed everywhere in Philadelphia that week. There will be some very new and novel features in the big parade on that day Kansas City lodge promises scme surprises. They are coming in a special train of twelve cars. attached to which will be flat truck car con- taining steam caliope to whoop it LID. Several former residents of Hartford and East Hartford are members Of this ledge, and are coming to the reunion and hope to meet many of their old friends.
 Cincinnati lodge is to be aocompan- jed by two bands and Miss Blanche Nehaffey, soprano. Both of these lodges arr confident of capturing the first prizes. Lodges from all over the coun- try are sending reports, which indi- cate the largest attendance at any Elks' reunion ever held. Hartford lodge will surely have more than 100 in the delegation. A large number of ladies will accompany the several lodges.

HARTFORD TOWN
 MODERN POMPEII Surprises Constantly Meet the Excavators Along
 Water Front.
HOUSE FOUNDATIONS.
Historical Data Unearthed Suggesting an Interest
 ing Former Life.

Hartford, June 11.--Accerdihg to the Courant of this city. the engineers who have in charge the excavations along the water front in connection with the new bridge Improvements have been having many an object lesson in old Hartford history within the last month. Many an indication of an old landmark has been unearthed. Within few days stone post has come to light, where the men have been dig ging for the foundations of the retain ing walls that will go parallel with the railroad tracks. It Is about four and a half feet high and is finished off for about foot from the top On the very top is a cross that would seem to indicate that 1t was boundary of some sort. The post was found right in the center of the ditch that has been dug and it has been left standing un- til the engineers can satisfy their cu- riosity as to just what it's history is. Yesterday they took measurements and they intend to look it up on some old maps that they have, to find out just what 1t was. It is quite proba- ble, however, that 1t marks the corner of Kilbourn street and old Commerce street, which used to extend down as far as that before the Valley Branch tracks were put in there.
 That part of the city has undergone many a change within the last quar- ter of century. In many places the engineers have unearthed different strata that show where roads have been. As the place has been filled in the level of the street has been rais- ed, so these different roads have been built literally on top of one another. Some idea of the level at which the street used to be at that point can be got when it is realized that the chill dren used to start at Talcott and Main streets in the winter time and coast down the hill and out on the ice of the river. Now there is a mound of made land at that point that is easily thirty feet or more above the river level.
 The engineers have also unearthed remains of old house foundations, and broken off piles of old wharfs En- gineer Edward w. Bush said yester- day that they had found pennies and other coins in the digging. Tt has been quite a curiosity shop he said @We have found all sorts of things that

NEW CLUB HOUSE FOR KNIGHTS 0F COLUMBUS Members of the Order Soon to Have Suitable
 Quarters. MAY OPEN JULY 4TH. Will Include ParIor, Billiard, Smoke and Card
 Rooms.

It has just been decided that the Knights of Columbus of this city are to have club rooms and steps have al- ready been taken to secure suitable quarters for the use of the 2,00O mem- bers of the various lodges in this city. The club rooms will fill much needed want among the members and their friends. It is understood that the first move in the club matter was taken by the members of the Fourth degree. In fact, it was stated by member that the club was originally intended for the use of the higher degree mem bers only. The idea of the Fourth de- gree men was later given up, and it was decided to institute a club under the auspices of the various lodges in the city, and to which every member in good standing would be entitled to be- long. It is understood that the com nittee having charge of the club has leased the rooms on the first floor of the old Palladium building on Orange street, and that they will take posses sion of the same at once. Many alter ations will be effected before the new quarters can be ready for use, but it is generally expected by the members that within month from now they will be able to use them. For the pres ent the club rooms will consist of read- ing room, smoke room. billiard room and card room, and others not yet de- cided on. They will be fitted up in a comfortable manner and the decora- tions, furniture and other fittings will be in keeping with the rest of the house The club will be conducted in such manner as to reflect the highest credit on the order and it's members.
 In accordance with the laws of the or- de- no liquor will be allowed to be sold or taken within the walls of the club and no gambling of any kind will be permitted under any pretext whatever A member of one of the councils stated last night that the members are enthu- siastic over the proposed new club, and they think it will prove a great stimu- Jus towards making the order stronger in New Haven. The club room, he said, will be an incentive for young men to join the order, and 1t will give them a respectable place where they can meet one another in the evenings, and also give the members a chance to become better acquainted with one another. Other orders, he said, not any strong e. than the Knights were the possessors of just such quarters as they were about to possess and he believed that the club will prove a great benefit to every member of the order in New Ha- ven. An endeavor will be made to have the place ready for opening on the 4th of July at the latest.
