CHICAGO GRAIN
BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO, April 22.-The market for
wheat, though irregular, was decidedly
strong the first half hour owing TO an
urgent demand for the May option Small
receipts in the northwest and the frmness
of European markets were the factors on
which the demand was chiefly based. Lib
eral sales Of the July and September dellv-
cry was late news regarding the new crop
in the southwest tended 10 offset the effect
of the congestion in May. The market
closed irregular, May being firm and July
and September barely steady May opened
a shade to 81 a q higher at 95 "a c to 50 z c.
advanced to 967sc and closed at SO &c. July
sold between e71sc and SSlsc and closed at
S7l2c.
Corn was weak almost all day because Of
heavy selling Of the July and September de
| liveries by leading commission houses. The
| bull leaders made little pretense of sup
| porting the market May opened lsc 10 &c
| lower al 66&c to G67sc. sold at 67lsc and
then declined to 661lc and closed at GGa u
667sc.
Oats were firm early in the session, owing
to the bulge in wheat but the late weak
ness Of corn had a depressing influence.
May opened - higher at 80 lsc and closed
steady at So q c. July ranged ultween As &c
and As 1sc and closed at 453sc.
Provisions We're rather weak at the start
but the market rallied later in the dav az
a result of buying by shorts and closed
steady. July pork closed a shade lower and
lard and ribs We're unchanged to 2lec lower.

The Confederate Flag.
From the Magazine Of American History.

From the Magazine OF American History.
The first confederate flag was the stars
and bars. blue field and three stripes one
white and two red. and on the blue field
seven white stars in circle, a star for
each state that up to that time had seced-
ed. In battle, however. it was seen that
this banner bore altogether too close a
resemblance to the Stars and Stripes, and
thus there came into use the Confederate
battle flag, the origin of which seems to
have been as follows:
This is the statement Of Gen. William
L. Cabell: when the Confederate army,
commanded by Gen. Beauregard. and the
Federal army confronted each other at
Manassas, 1t was seen that the Confeder-
ate flag and the Stars and Stripes looked
at distance SO much alike that it was
hard to distinguish one from the other
mistakes might be made in recognizing
our troops. after the battle of July 10, at
Blackburn Ford, ordered that a small
badge should be worn on the left shoulder
by our troops, and as l was chief quar-
termaster. ordered me to purchase large
amount of red flannel, and to distribute
1t to each regiment"
ed in September. 1851. and was designed
by Gems. Johnson and Beauregard. Red
was It's color, with blue st. Andrew
cross reaching from corner to corner, and
white stars on the cross representing the
different southern states. The women Of
the south made these flags by hundreds
out Of their red and blue silk dresses
Miss Constance Cary, who afterward be-
came Mrs. Burton Harrison, the we'll
known novelist, was one OF the three
southern girls who made the first three
flags.

central office detectives charged with
having swindled two Newark women out
Of 81. 700. The women complained to As
sistant District Attorney Ktndleberger
that Rodman had induced them to invest
their savings of a lifetime in mining
stock. which they believed was worthless.
and had then by a ruse gotten back the
stock for worthless notes.
About two years ago Mrs. Martha A.
Taylor Of 81 Chester avenue and Mrs.
Margaret M. Thompson of 50 Voorhees,

tuously appointed suite at 215 West 45th

lor had saved up $500 and her friend
had 500.
why keep this money idle?' the for
tune teller is alleged to have said. In
vest it and get rich" He advised them
to call on Rodman. They did SO. Rod
man sold Mrs. Taylor. she says: 2,Joo
shares OF the Gold and Copper Mining
stock at 81 a share. and Mrs. Thompson
200 shares at the same price. telling them
they would get IL per cent.
Interest was paid for while. but when
the interest date came last month the
money was not forthcoming. and Rod
man. Mrs. Taylor says. told her that
hard times was the cause. but that a rich
stock dealer from the west would pay 81
a share for their stock Mrs. Taylor and
Mrs. Thompson decided to sell, and say
Rodman gave them his notes for $4,000
and 500 and took their stock. A few
days later they saw that the firm of
Henry T. Rodman & Co. had failed.
Henry Hosier. now serving eleven years
for note swindling. the police say. was of
this firm, as was also big Bill Hennig.
now q fugitive from justice.
Rodman was measured by the Bertillon

Vogue.

From Town and Country.
The crimson rambler has suddenly come
into fashion abroad and in all the recent
accounts OF functions in London one reads
Of its being employed as a decorative
bloom. 1t has been q great favorite In
this country for some years. but the pink
species il now beginning to rival It.
In June and early July one sees il all
through the suburbs. and II has quite
taken the place Of the honeysuckle the
Virginia creeper and other climbers for
summer houses and trellis covering.
Some years ago 1t was introduced By the
florists here as a pot,ed plant for Easter,
the blooms being forced. Before that
time. both In England and France. II
was considered as rather an ordinary
variety Of the rose and was not held in
high esteem.
A new rose faint pink and single. a

metropolitan club which offered the usual
advantage Of bedrooms for country men,
