He began his intensely patriotic re-
marks by saying that he had attended

before those who had been his asso-

him TO death, but he did not talk bit
like a dead man when he got started.
He freely compiimcnted the address

the pup;'e and declared that strict ad-

that il was manly to love the Flag and
rally 10 the support ~ the institutions
which it protected in the hour of dam

The little Misses Sherman, sisters,
spoke two very patriotic pieces which
were roundly applauded. At the close
of the program adjournment was taken
TO the school yard, where the 70-foot
fiagpole, being beautiful chestnut
tree rived of its branches, WAS set in
the ground, and TO the stirring strains
of Three Cheers for the Red, White

of the pole by the young men Students.

Freedom HiE Flag Raising.

4 very pretty flag raising took place
at Freedom Hill, near Falls Church,
Va, in Fairfax County on Feb. /. Mrs.
Isabel WOrrell Pail. prominent IN pa
ttiotic work in Washins.O on and one Of
the best-known newspaper correspond
cnts, has been presenting flags 20 the
country schools in Fairfax County dur
ing the last three years. and the one
presented to the Freedom Hill school
was the twelfth which she has raised
above the school houses in the County
in which her father, the late Capt Jas.
Purcell Worrell, was born.
Mrs. Ball was accompanied to the
Freedom Hill school by several MEM
bers of the i. W. Il. Flag Association.
an organization named for her. Tho
school authorities met Mrs. Ball and
her friends at the station, and they
were conveyed two miles distant TO the
school. where school officials, ex-pupiis
and patrons, as well as pupils, were
gathered for the flag raising.
Miss Gertrude Adams. the teacher of
the school, received the guests,
and was assisted by her pupils, a
charming lot Of young ladies, in serv-
ing a bountiful luncheon, for which
the guests were prepared by their beau

of the war. which he said was the first
flag raising he ever attended, and this,

he thought that IL was altogether the

elements. part going into the Confed-

Mrs Ball was introduced by Miss
Adams. and gave talk on the origin
and birth of Old Glory. She sketched
the history Of MI the flags from the
time of the arrival of Columbus to the
making of the flag by Betsy Ross and
incidentally displayed about 35 of the
flags which at one time and another
had fioated over the Colonies up TO the
time of the adoption of n National Flag.
June II, 1777. These flags, made by Mrs.
Fall of cotton and bearing pine trees,
crosses, quarter moons, rattlesnakes
and various other emblsms, proved very
interesting to the audience Mrs. Fall
also displayed a number of the special
flags, among them that ~ the presi-
dent, Secretary of War, the Red Cross
flag. flag Of truce, quarantine, pirate,
dispatch, revenue. church pennant and
many others. At the close of her ad

Rem Bankers New War Book.

The Detroit papers have long reviews
of a new war book by Rem Barker
Comrade Barker was sharpshooter
and belonged to Co. ID, seth III. The
book is a history of his company, and
is full of "reminiscences OF the great
DAYS of 1876. Comradc Barker is
now II, but does not look as IL he were
so. He was born in Italy and brought
up in New York State, where he learn
ed the printing business and took AN
active side for John c. Fremont. He
went promptly into the army and served
for three years, 10 months and nine
days. He then returned to the printing
business. established the Flint Globe
worked on other papers, and has for
years been editor and proprietor OF the
Reed City Clarion. In December, 1862
the men of Co. ID discarded their old
rifles and purchased at their own OK
pense the newly invented l7-shooter
Henrys. paying $50 each for the guns
They carried these to the end of their
service. The Government furnished the
ammunition, and Comrade Barker still
has the trusty rifle he brought home
with him in 1865. 1t has the names Of
all the battles in which he was engaged
engraved on the stock. In the Atlanta
campaign the company was under fire
100 days and lost all of its officers The
regimental flag showed &c bullet holes
and Comrade Barker was shot in the
foot.

Owing to certain disa greeable disclo-
sures of recent date respecting abuses
of the pension system, of which no
honest citizen can approve. there un-
doubteGly exists some sentiment of OPP
position to the proposed law which will
pay to all survivors Of the civil and
Mexican wars pensions ranging from
SIS to $36 a month. That opposition
will not be considerable, nor will it be
of any effect The Nation has most
generous appreciation OF loyalty in its
past needs, and it can show that gem
crosby in no better way than to make
the last days of the old soldiers as com
Portable and as free from want and care
as may be.
There are not so many of them left
From late compilation of pension sta
tistics IL appears that civil war pension
ers, not including widows and other
dependents. number but little more
than 100000. OF these 3,451 are above
the age OF IS years, 101.77S between
the ages of 20 and IS, 1874, ST. between
the ages of 65 and 20, and 1883 are
between the ages of 81 and SIS. AS to
the Mexican War list the number OF
surviving veterans is so small as 10 be
negligible in considering the increased
pension expenditure. There are 2,9i0
Mexican War veterans living, and but
q OF these are below the age of rs
years.
Mos: OF these men, like most of their
comrades who have gone before them,
were citizen soldiers, and especially IL
this true of the civil war veterans.
Many of them made far greater sacri-
fees on the altar of patriotism than will
ever be compensated by the most gen.
erous pension payment, and in that re-
gard we speak, of course, of the men
who went TO the front and saw actual
service. There is no sympathy to be
wasted upon the men who abuse the
generosity OF the Nation. but for the
patriotic soldier, now the veteran, there
is no pension arrangement too good.

Denartmeut Of Potomac. W. &c.

At the 22d Annual Convention of the
Department of Potomac, w. r. c., held
in Grand Army Hall last week. Mrs
Nora B. Atkinson. Department Presi-
dent, presented her annual address, in
which it was shown that this Depart

has been one of utmost harmony and
productive of good in every direction.
One of the interesting features of
the evening was the presence of Col.
Jasper Darling, who made a stirring
patriotic address to the Convention
Mrs. Jasper Darling had previously
been presented to the Convention and
was an honored guest upon the plat
form, she being member of Decatur
Corps. of Illinois, which is auxiliary to
the first Post of the G.. A. r. ever or
gained. being the one with which Maj.
3. =. Stephenson. founder of the G.. A
r., was affiliated and which he insti-
tuted first.
Col. Darling in his remarks very en-
phatically denounced the placing of the
statue of Robert E. Lee in the Hall Of
Fame in the National Capitol.
Mrs. Isabel Worrell Ball, replying to
the suggestion of Col. Darling that the
woTaen's patriotic organizations should
fight this, stated that Department OF
Potomac, w +. c., and Department of
larry, had both adopted strong resolu-
tons against the Lee statue. She stated
that these were adopted within three
days after the Virginia Legislature had
decided to place the Lee statue in the
National Capitol, and that this Depart
ment had done its whole duty in that
direction when ii took those rcsoiu-
lions to the National Encampment OF
the G. A. r. at San Francisco, where
they had been smothered. because. as
she believed, business interests OF some
of the richer men in the organization
demanded care in offending the South

while the Chicago press is awfully

Audience rooms that on ordinary occa-
