Important Occasion.
HISTORY OF AMERICAN FLAG
Which Embraces a Wealth of
Romance and Patriotism
In Connection.

More than usual interest Is manis
tested This year in Flag day, June A.,
The American Flag Association is
sending out circulars to the COVER
nors OF States,mayOrs of cities, secret
and patriotic societies and citizens in
general, urging that the occasion be
fifty observed. The day will mark the
133rd anniversary of the flag.
There is a great deal more history
behind the American flag than many
realize Originally, II was composed
of 1S stripes and l3 stars to repre-
sent the IS original colonies, but the
growth of the country has necessitat-
ed numerous changes June II, 1777
congress decided That the flag of the
United States be IS stripes, alternate
red and white; that the union be- IL

ing new constellation"
At first il was decided to add new
stripe for every new State admitted,
DAI NhVu TINS Noo lOullu Alltpi dSAlNH-
Dle, Congress enacted a measure nj
1878, fixing the number of stripes at
the original number, 10.
The bill follows: THAT from and
after the fourth day OF July next the
flag of the United States be 10 hori-
zOntal stripes, alternate red and
white; that the union be 20 stars
white in blue field and that on the
admission of a new State into the
Unio one star be added to the union
of the flag, and such addition to take
place on the fourth day of July fol-
lowing the admission Fl"
It is the purpose Of the flag asso-
citation to bring more clearly before
the people the wealth of romance and
patriotism connected with the flag
One of the inspiring incidents of
revolutionary days was the hosting
OF a flag over Fort Stanwix, n. Y.
Not having the proper material the de-
tenders of the fort made a flag out of
their shirts.
No one will be more interested on
Flag Day than the veterans of the
civil war and it will fall to the lot
of the GAR and kindled societies
10 take a prominent part in the cere-
monies.

NEGRO BUREAU
IS UNCOVERED
Sold Questions on Teach
ers' Examinations,
HEADQUARTERS IN LOUISVILLE
Had Clients Among C0lOred
School TeacheTS-AT-
rests Follow Fast.

Frankfort, Ky, June "a bureau
for the distribution of questions at
common school examinations for
teachers has been uncovered in Louis
willie, and it is said that the bureau
operated all over Kentucky, selling
questions in advance of the examine
lions and reapins a rich harvest. AS
result Of the investigation Lucy
Jackson is under arrest in Louisville,
and ElmiTa Lang,of Louisville andSa-
rCh Lee,of EliZabethtOwn,a all negroes,
are in the Jail at Elizabethtown. 9th
err arrests will be made in various
parts of the State. and il is eX-
pected that several men and women
not now under arrest will be sent to
the penitentiary. Two negroes for
whom warrants were Issued in Louis
willie fled before they could be ar
rested, but it is hoped that they viii
be caught.
Examinations Tor teachers in the
colored schools of the State were held
May 2S and 20 in the various counties.
The day after the examinations clos
ed the Superintendent OF Public In
structions's office was deluged with
complaints from many counties that
the questions used at the examina-
tion had been secured in advance by
the applicants for certificates. These
complaints came from Hardin, Lincoln,
Christian, jefferson and many other
counties. Prof. Crabbe and Thorn
rs w. Vinson, his assistant, went
Immediately to work to find out who
had been guilty Of selling the papers.
1T Elizabethtown, Elmira Lang and
Sarah Lee took the examination and
when their papers were examined for
correction it was found that their
answers were identical, in many in
stances. This aroused suspicion and
the county superintendent Of Hardin,
who was conducting the examination,
investigated. 1t is charged that he
found a copy of the questions in the
back of the note book used by the Lang
woman. She was confronted with the
evidence and confessed that the Ques-
lions had been sold. She made a long
affidavit, in which she gave the de-
tails Of the bureau<Which was in op-
Grafton. at Louisville. She and the
Lee woman were locked up.
Just how many persons are involved
in the steal is not known. 1t is
thought that the examination papers
were stolen In some way after they
left the office of the Superintendent
OF Public instruction. Prof. Crabbe
has an idea how the steal was work
ed. but he cannot talk now, as premas
turo publication might spoil the plan
to further develop the plot and catch
others, not now under arrest, who
are guilty.
