FORTUNE FROM OLD LOVER.

DENVER, Feb. A. After having lost
for a score of years all trace of sweet
heart of her girlhood days, Mrs. Henry
V. Rothberger was surprised today to
receive word from California that he
had bequeathed her $4,000. When 10
years old, Mrs. Rothberger, then Miss
Hattie Victoria Moore, left Belfast,
Me-, and Went to Dutch Flat, Cal, to
live with a wealthy cousin, James H.
Flagg. Frank V. Anderson, another
wealthy mining man, then about 40,
fell in love with and wanted to make
her Mrs. Anderson, but she returned to
Maine and married Rothberger. Now
Anderson is dead, and has left her
$4,000.
Mrs. Rothberger's sister Ella married
Frank Wagner of Belmont, a brother
of Ed. Wagner. For this information,
and the above clipping. we are indebted
to a kind friend in Chicago, Mrs. Ada
Cammett- Morton.

The Maine Battle Flags.

A writer in one of the Maine ex-
changes seems to be much disturbed by
a report which has come to his ears
and the tenor of which is that the old
battle flags in the rotunda of the State
House ''are to be taken out, fixed over
and placed in the cupola of the State
House," so much disturbed in fact that
he has submitted remonstrance in
verse. Where he received the informa
ton that the old flags were to be placed
in the cupola of the State Capitol is a
mystery, as nothing of the kind has
been published, or intended. The in
tention regarding the proposed treat
ment of the battle flags is that of pre-
serving them so that they may be pre-
vented from further decay. The flags
will be repaired 81 far as is possible and
re-arranged in the cases very much as
at present, after which the cases will be
made as nearly alright as possible, in
order that circulation of air and also
the settling of dust may be prevented.
And the writer of the article and verses
referred to may rest assured that the
old flags are as sacred to those who
instituted the movement towards pre-
serving them as they are to the men
who carried or marched under them
