The Flag of Our country-"Old Glory


A Song.
(Sung in bivouac night before storm
ing of Cerro Gordo, Mexico, by Lieut..
Chas. F. Brewer, n. Y. Vols.)
Tonight, e'er our parting, fill high to
the brim,
'Tis last we together may drink;
Tomorrow in battle some yield to death
grim;
Our soldiers its fiat ne'er shrink.
Then stand to the toast, now last, but
the best,
The flag of our country and love;
We'Il crown it with victory-in valorous
zest
Place old Glory yon ramparts above.
Whatever each quaffing-be it aqua or
Round the cup fond memories
Wreathe
For homeland emotions give courage
divine
It's cause to uphold while we breathe
Then stand to the toast, etc.
SAINT Ana is boasting invincible might;
His hosts appear grand in array.
Remember the APmo,' and-God for
the right
we'n drive them away in dismay.
Then stand to the toast, etc.
"The bugles are sounding the call to
retire
And fit for the mornings dread fray;
May dreams of our sleeping each brave
heart inspire
With hopeful resolves for the day.
Then stand to the toast. etc.

BUTLER is MASTER
IN BANKERS HOUSE

STATE OF AFFAIRS
Nephew of Murdered Man Declares
Servant Is CrimlnaI-Had Keys
to Treasure Vaults of
Establishment
BY Associated Press.

PARIS, June 27.-The arrest in this
city yesterday of the butcher. Renard,
charged with completely in the murder
of August Remy, a wealthy retired
banker who was stabbed to death June
in his home in Paris. has revealed the
existence of an astounding state of af-
fairs in the bankers household prior to
the assassination.
The bankers nephew, Raingo. was
submitted to severe examination, at
the end of which he said Renard had
killed his uncle.
Then, breaking down completely, Ra-
lingo explained that after years of serv-
Ice in his uncle's house Renard had be-
come complete master of the establish
ment, gaining ascendency over the
bankers wife to such point that the
keys to her money and .jeweiry box
were always in his possession.
NJ Remy often complained of Re-
Yards growing dominion over his
household, but his wife defended the
butler.
The climax came the day before the
ASA ssination, when the banker discov-
cred his nephew and Renard together.
He then Informed his wife that ne
would no longer endure the situation,
and would send his nephew to dis
culinary school, and that he was going
to discharge the butler.
High words followed this announce
ment Nine. Remy refused to believe
the stories, and finally in company with
her maid she left the house.
That same night, Raingo has de-
clared, M. Remy and Renard quarreled
during the dinner, and Renard killed
the banker by stabbing him with a
dessert knife After killing the old man
the butler arranged the house and the
dining room in such manner as to
give support to the theory that the
crime had been committed by burglars.
Another arrest in the case is expect
today of the arrest Of Renard she would
not believe the charges against him.
7"No," she declared, at is impossible:
If he is guilty, he is monster of
hypocrisy."

BRYAN's CHOICE FOR TEMPO.

Permanent Craftsmanship Not Settled,
but Names of Clayton, Folk,

Mentioned
Confined from Page one,

man was in direct accord with the
wishes of Mr.. Bryan, as announced sew
eral days ago. He said that he strong
Iy favored former Representative Bell
and Representative Clayton OF Alapa-
ma for the temporary and permanent
chairmanships, and while he was not
particular as to which man secured
either position, he believed they should,
between them, preside over the entire
deliberations of the convention.
MAYOR James Dahlman of Omaha, a
warm personal friend of Mr. Bryan and
a member of the subcommittee, arrived
in Denver early today and brought with
him the latest news from Lincoln. he
declared that the position of Mr.. Bryan
as to the chairmanships was I'M
changed.
Mayor Dahlman was generally cred
tied with having in his possession a
platform which is to be submitted to
the convention, but he did not bring 1t.
IL talked with Mr.. Bryan about the
platform" he said, but that is all. IL
is not drawn UP, so far as know, at
least not in definite form. There Is no
mystery about the platform which VIII
be adopted by this convention. IL is
generally understood throughout the
Country upon what sort of a platform
Mr.. Bryan is willing to stand, and the
public knows as much about it as / DO.
When asked whether or not an IN
junction" plank will be inserted In the
platform, Mayor Dahlman admitted
that in this respect the platform of the
coming convention would probably ar
fer from that of the former Bryan plat
forms. He declared, however, that
nothing as yet should be determined IN
this respect, and that in all proba oliity
the entire matter would await a prop
able visit of a number of men promi-
nent in the labor movement TO MT.
Bryan at his home in Lincoln. TINS
conference, he said, might be helo IN
the early part of next week.
Mayor Dahlman said that MT. Bryan
had considered only the names OF Theo-
dore A. Bell and Henry d. Clayton IN
connection with the chairmanships. he
was not prepared to say how the names
of hudson P. Harmon, Governor FOLK
and Senator Bailey would strike Mr..
Bryan although he knew, he said, that
Mr.. Bryan had warm friendship Tor
Mr.. Harmon. At the same time 1t was
Mr.. Bryan's opinion that the permanent
chairmanships should go to southern
state.
The members Of the committee were
tonight entertained at dinner by Mayor
Robert w. Speer, and tomorrow they
will take an excursion into the northern
part of the state, returning by Monday
morning.

BIG ARMY Is MARCHING ON
ToRREoN, RICHEST CITY
IN STATE OF COAHuILA

Ell PASO, Texas. June 27.--El Cor
REQ, the conservative daily Mexican
newspaper of Chihuahua. in its issue
this morning, which arrived here to-
night, has story that an army or
strength sariously estimated from 4OO
to 1000 men. Is marching on Torreon.
one of the richest cities in the state
of Coahuila.
The story, after reviewing the attack
on Viesca, tells of reported attempts
to rob the pay train on the Mexican
Central and says the country around
Torreon, which is so closely settled
that there are stations about every
four kilometers, is swarming with
armed men who appear at the railroad
stations with guns and cartridge belts.
These same reports" says Ell Cor
REQ, SAY that three bridges on the
railroad between Parras and Torreon
have been burned, probably with the
object of impeding the massage of
troops into Torreon. The incendiaries
also probably selected Torreon for in
vasion because they considered 1t
rich city to loot.
Among the reports we have heard
is one which says about 1000 armed
men, nearly all of whom are inhab-
itants of ranches, are said to have
passed Hornos In the state of Coahuila
on the Coahuila & Pacific. about 60
kilos from Torreon.
whether the movement is directed
against the government of Coahuila or
against the federal government no one
is able to say. 1t Is generally supposed
the movement is not against the state
but against the federal government.
"One version says the revolution is
wholly against the state of Coahuila.
that the governor is not acceptable to
the people of that state and that he
was forced upon them by the president
of the republic.
"It is also said train of infantry
has been sent to TorrSon from Mon
terey and small detachment of cav
airy"
Torreon. the town named by Ell Cor
REQ as the object of attack. is one of
the richest towns In the state OF Goa
hula. There are six banks: Tho Banco

branch there; branch of the Banco
