Old Flag Restored.

Confederate veterans from all
over Maryland marched May l L for
the last time behind the flag under
which they fought during the Civil
War. The occasion was the formal
presentation to the State of the flag
carried by the Second Maryland In.
tantry, which was lost at the battle
of Hatcher's Run, Va, and the
ceremonies marking its presentation
were of an interesting and impress
sive nature. The flag has been de-
posted in the tiagroom with other
relics of war.
Governor CIothers accepted the
flag on behalf of the people, stating
in the course of his remarks that
the adjutant of the Maryland bat
TALON was a native son of Elkton,
Cecil county.
General Clinton L Riggs, former
Adjutant General of Maryland, a
member of the original Battle Flag
Commission, who was instrumental
in the discovery of the historic
banner in museum at Columbus,
Ohio, was among those present at
the presentation ceremonies.
There was considerable difference
of opinion at first over the identity
of the flag that was turned over to
the State, but it was finally identi
fed as that carried 10y the Second
Maryland Infantry.

among the race. and gave assurance that
anything he Gould do through the In
terror Department for the improvement
or encouragement of the negro would be
done This is the first settlement house
to be built in Washington and is the re-
suit largely of the efforts of the colored
people themselves. The movement was
begun in 1902 and was crowned with sue
cess last week in the dedication of this
building which cost $1,000, the ground
cost $1,000 and the equipment will cost
about $500 more 1t is believed that this
settlement work will help to solve the
problem of the negro in Washington and

She described her symptoms at
some length, and he listened pa

moments and let me look at you"
She complied, and he eyed her
attentively for nearly minute,
glancing at his watch once or twice
in the meantime.
"There is nothing the matter
with you, madam" he said. 'You
haven't the slightest indication Of

1t is curious how things develop. For
several generations the liquor interests
have run things with high band and
busted themselves with politics aud con-

bitionists made what fight they could,
but they got nowhere in a party sense,
but they kept calling attention to con-
ditions, and finally the people became
aroused and such sweep of prohibition
as they never even thought of has re-
suited. The '.wet" and dry" question
is the most discussed Of any one on the
trains, in the hotels and business places
A very large part of the territory of the

that beers, wines and wiskeys will be

will be more and more shipping from wet
states into dry territory and that will
force the dry majorities to compel their

WASHINGTON LETTER.

In few weeks President Taft will be
called upon to decide the question of de-
failing naval surgeon to command a
naval hospital ship 1t is the intention
of the Surgeon General of the navy to
have Surgeon George Pickrell detailed TO
command the new hospital ship Solace.
That vessel is at present being fitted out,
at the navy yard at Charleston, S. c
according to he'plans Of the naval con-
structors, as modern hospital ship, so
far as that is possible. Surgeon Pickrell
is one of the ablest officers of his corps
and was nominated, recently. by the
Surgeon General to take charge of the
special installation necessary on the
Soiace for its new duties, and the Surgeon
General has asked that Surgeon Pickrell
be detailed to command the Solace when
commissioned. This has precipitated the
old question which Surgeon General
Rixey induced President Roosevelt to
decide in his favor at the time Surgeon
Charles F. Stokes was detailed to CON-
mand the hospital ship Relief The line
officers of the navy are quite convinced
that it is undesirable to detail naval
surgeon or any staff officer for that
matter, to command a ship in commission,
as such duty is the special prerogative of
line officers. As Surgeon General Rixey
no longer enjoys the personal influence
at the White House that he exercised in
the Roosevelt administration, there is
every indication that President Taft will
sustain the view OF the officers of the line
and place the senior naval surgeons in
charge but not in command of the vessel.
