John G. Davis as Gecko, Airing Alcine

Mr. Mack will give this play i'm a
manner quite equal to anything he has
yet produced. Some beautiful scenery
is being made ready, and the stage set

1t is long time since "Trilby" was
played in Salt Lake. The play is a
wonderful rendering of q story that It

They all fall i'm love with her, but she
loves only Little Biilee. though she is
the comrade of all three. Svengali. a
Hungarian Jew, only tolerated for his
music, is a visitor to the studio. Trilby
attracts him, not because he is in love
with her. but because of her possibili-
ties. When she disappears to avoid
dragging Little Billee into a marriage
that she is afraid would ruin his career,
Svengali finds her and makes her, by
his hypnotic powers, the greatest sing

been tone deaf" When he is finally
slain by the humble GecSo, she is re-
leased. though it is a dying Trilby that
is restored to her friends Even then
the sight of Svengaii's portrait brings
back the old spell and she passes away
with his name on her lips.
''Trilby" was one of the greatest sue

1t is almost if not quite as hard now TO mag
inc what the world meant before the age or
steam as it is to think out what will be its mean
ing in the age of the perfected airship and aero
plane. Every contrast possible in the st. Louis
centennial week of pageants is challenge to
look backward and forward in the attempt to
find out what hundred years already mean, as
the first success in the attempt to find what 1t is
to mean shortly, for this generation and for the
grandchildren of this generation in 2009
The makers of the centennial week program
were keenly alive to the opportunities for spec
tacular effect suggested by the most striking
events of the worlds progress. The aeronautic
events such as balloon races, aeroplane and diri-
giPe balloon contests, suggest the future possi-
bilities of transportation in contrast with those
of 1909 For comparison with automobiles and
aeroplanes the bateau of Lacedes day, with its
stumpy mast, its cordelle and its sweeps, is an
educational feature of the water pageant which
includes crafts of all the kinds which now ply the
waters of the Mississippi. The Yelled Prophets
pageant, unique and picturesque, Is another fea-
ture which is full of romantic interest. The edu-
cational parade, the parade representing 5000 of
st. Louis industries, the procession of a thou
sand mayors and the other events which find
place on the program all suggest that as great
week for st. Louis it's centennial week Is still
greater. as 1t belongs to a hundred years of his
tory-making for the continental United States.

STORY OF CONFEDERATE FLAG
Gen. cabell Of Texas Tells How Stars
and Bars Were Designed and
Made at Richmond.

Gen. w. L. Cabell of Dallas, Tex.
commander of the transmississippi
department of the United Confederate
Veterans, wrote recently the follow
ing history of the confederate flag:
When the confederate army, com
manded by Gen. Beauregard, and the
federal army confronted each other at
Manassas it was seen that the confed
crate flag and the stars and stripes
looked at a distance so much alike
that it was hard to distinguish one
from the other.
Gen. Beauregard, after the battle of
July Is, az Blackburn ford, ordered
that a small red badge should be
worn on the left shoulder by our
troops, and, as l was chief quarter.
master, ordered me to purchase a
large quantity of red flannel and to
distribute it to each regiment.
During the battle of Bull Run it was
plain to be seen that large number
of federal soldiers wore similar red
badge. Gen. Johnston and Gen Beau
regard met at Fairfax courthouse in
the latter part of August or early
September and determined to have a

1t still had his companion explorer, William
Clark, to stand for the spirit of the American and
French makers of destiny" who thought little
more of starting a thousand miles into the un-
known west from st. Louis than the average St
Louisan now thinks of starting for the Pacific
coast in a sleeping car.
From village of 800 inhabitants to the fourth
city in the United States, with population of
threequarters of a million, is a wonderful
achievement but 1t sinks into insignfcance when
compared with the giant strides of the past cen
tury in the world of science commerce. the arts
and every field of endeavor which makes for
higher and better civilization
1t is severe strain on the Imagination to at
tempt to bridge over the gap between the mean
ing of an airship crossing the Mississippi river
at st Louis this year and what the ancient keel
boats OF 1909 meant, as they landed at the foot
OF Walnut street. where the town was founded in
li64 by the pioneers who had padded and cor
delled their bateaux painfully up the river from
New Orleans under Laclede as he advanced in
the bold attempt to control the fur trade of half
a continent with his handful of men.
The keelboat then was no more out of date
than the airshp is now. 1t was the best modern
boat in 1909 which could be equipped by the capi.
tai OF st. Louis, of New Orleans or of Philadel-
phia. Because of it Philadelphia and St. Louis
commanded the east and west movement of busi.
ness as that north and south was commanded by
New Orleans and st. Louis. as soon as their first
fleets OF keelboats were regularly organized 1t
helped TO make great history, even IL it did have
TO be pulled up stream by rope dragged by men
on the bank.

Gen. Johnston's flag was in the
shape of an ellipse-a red flag with
blue st. Andrews cross and stars ON

different southern states. (No white
border of any kind was attached to

and white stars, similar to Gen. John

After we had discussed fully the
two styles, taking into consideration
the cost of material and the care of
making the same, it was decided the
elliptical flag would be harder to
make; that it would take more cloth,
and it could not be seen so plainly at
a distance; that the rectangular flag,
drawn by and suggested by Gen. Beau

To Improve Artillery Fire.

The war department has adopted for
the coast artillery service a range
board, the invention of Maj. e. w.
Hubbard, commandant at Fort Nc
Henry, Md The board is mechani.
cal device for automatically comput-
ing the working range or elevation
which must be given a heavy gun to
reach given target. In artillery the
range, or distance to the target, is
the prime factor in hitting. The
range finder gives this distance regu.
larly every Is seconds. The device
corrects the observed range every 15
seconds, giving a fictitious or correct.
ed range, to which the gun is ele.
vated.
"The good old days of the smooth
bore, when at target practice. about a
shot an hour was fired, and then only
after careful computations, have passed
away" said Maj. Hubbard. "The mod,
ern 12-inch gun can be fired, with all
allowances made, once minute, with
an even chance of hitting a moving
target at long range. This improve
ment has been due not only to i'm
proved guns, powder and carriages
but to the constant and devoted work
of our artillery officers extending over
a period of years. AS far as can
be ascertained the coast defense serv
