BUYS OLD FLAG.
W. K. Vanderbilt Pays $3.50 for War
Relic in London.

London, Jan. 3I-The flag Of the
American frigate Chesapeake, captured
IN her fight with the British frigate
Shannon in 1913, which belonged to the
late II g. Middlebfook, who had bought
/ ii at d sale, was sold at auction at
Debaiham'a yesterday To w. X. Nan-
derblt, who paid 1920 for it.
The auction rooms were crowded, the
crowd OVERLOOKING into the street, when
the Chesapeake's old flag was put up for
sale. 1t hung in tattered and faded
folds, threadbare and pierced by bullet
holes. Its appearance was greeted with
a hearty cheer. Apparently part as

plays the fifteen stars, only one white
and one red stripe remain.
Tile sight. Of the flag brought an I'M
wonted touch of romance to a London
auction room, aud for a moment or two
there was dead silence, broken before
the aucti0neer spoke BY an Enthusiastically
American voice saying, I'm give go
FOR itn @Al right, sir, III take your
bid, said the auctioneer, when the laugh
had subsidized, The irregular and theat
rieal manner in which the bid was maze
caused the hearers TO image il was not
serious But an Englishman at the other
end Of the room took the American
quickly up to fl00 in bids Of clio.
Then there was d spirited duel in fifties
until 1450 was touched when the Eng
lishman hesitated. An anxious pause
was broken by cheer when another
Englishman took the field with a bid of
$500 The American stuck to his guns
till e600 was reached and then retired.

who acted for Mr.. Vanderbilt. When
the Englishman at last slowly bid fs00
voice was heard "95od save the king,
to which another replied: God save the
flag, and Partridge mentioned the deci-
siye $3.50
For time the auotioneer gazed at
the English runner-up, who at last said
sharply: NO and with final linger
inc flourish Of his hammer the auctioneer
let it fall amid cheers. Then voice
went up; (which side Of the Atlantic

Local Option Endorsed.

Most Of the church conventions held
in Vermont during the past year or
more have swallowed without nrimace
Superintendent Ferguson's resolutions
denouncing the present local option
law and fayoring a return to state pro-
hibition. A notable exception was the
last Congressional convention, which
refused to adopt the Ferguson folderoi
and instead appointed q committee to
Investigate carefully the workings OF
the present measure. This committee
went about its work ia a particularly
thorough manner, propounding series
Of systematized questions to people in
various walks Of life in every town in
the state. Particular attention was
paid to towns where both license and
no-license have been III effect and the
scope Of questions was such ais to cover
practically every phase Of the question.
The result Of this minute investigation
shows that 53 per cent. of the persons
questions would retain the present law,
30 per cent. are in favor Of state prohi.
bition, Is per cent. are in favor Of such
an enactment only under certain condi-.
tions and per cent are undecided.
Among the various amendments To the
present law which was suggested in the
replies the most stress is laid ON the
abolition of second. class and ffth-class
licenses.
The significant feature Of this re-
search is the proportion Of people who
favor retaining the present local option
law BY it the principle of local option
Is practically yindicated, and an effec-
tive reply made to those organizations
which found it SO easy to condemn the
law BY following the Anti.Saloon
league prescription. There can be no
doubt that the present law is faulty in
numerous respects and in need Of con-
siderable repairing, but in comparison
with the obsolete prohibitory measure.
which was discarded after half-century
of rottenness, It Is strong and effective.
Now that the Congregational committee
has shown pretty plainly how the peo-
pie of the state feel ON this question
there should be no further attempt to
revert to system which has been
proven farcial bat united endeayor to
make as effective as possible the pres.
cnt law.-Brattleboro Reformer.

Was still abroad upon the earth
From sea to sea,
a little, strange reluctant word,
As shy as any dicky bird,

"It's Taft or Me-"
When April fIuttered on the scent,
And croci came and grass turned green

The little rumor swiftly grew
AS large as one mans hand, or two,
And all the owls himmed ~Wit! Too

When May danced ii like some child's

OF which disrecall the name,
And Sol waxed warm and summer

Upon the lea
lAnd elsewhere, too, of course well,
then
The whisper grew and grew again,
Fer stamping in the minds Of men,
"It's Taft or Me-
And now, when Jolly june Il here,

Paris, juno 1s.-The Lemoine dia-
rnond case came 10 a sensational ending
with an unexpected climax, yesterday
afternoon. Lemoine has fed. and his
famous formula for the manufacture Of
diamonds is fantastic farce.
Iyemoine was taken into custody q

obtained money from Julius Wernher,
the English diamond merchant, on
false pretenses. Lemoine declared he
could manufacture diamonds, and il Is
alleged that he sucured large sum Of
money from Wernher Lemoine was re-
leased to give him an opportunity to
manufacture diamonds and make good
his claim. When the case was called
in court Lemoine did not appear.
IN the presence OF Mr.. Weriher the
court then opened the famous envelope
said to contain Lemione' formula,
The paper inside was read, but ii con
