The Star SpansIed Banner of Fort Me-
Henry In 1914.


Hanging from the walls of the Ma
tional museum in Washington is one OF
the most famous flags in the world
the star spangled banner that fioated
over Fort McHenry during the British
attack in September, 1914. The flag
measures no less than &c by SO feet.
At the time of the battle Fort Nc
Henry, just outside the city Of Balti-
more, was in command of Major George
Armistead. The garrison flag that flew
from its ramparts was made by Mrs.
Mary Pinkersgill, assisted by her
daughter, Mrs. Caroline L. Purdy
In the battle one Of the stars was
shot away by British shell. After the
war the banner became the property of
Major Armistead and was left by him
to his daughter, Mrs. Appleton. 1t was
from the son of that lady, MIR. Eben
Appleton, that the museum received ii
two years ago. The arrangement Is
that the flag shall remain permanently
in the custody Of the museum and
must not be permitted to leave the
building to be exhibited anywhere else.
Time has somewhat marred the beauty
of the banner, but no American can
look at the fading and worn fabric
without thrill. That is the flag that
gave birth to the national anthem of
his country.-Youth's Companion.

still elated over the drubbing they
gave the Glass Fruit Co. the night
previous, by the small margin of 542
pins. The Diamond K team chal-

PRINCE OF PILSEN."

The ''Prince of Pilsen" was given
at the opera house last night to a
large audience. 1t was among the
best comic operas ever given in the
city, made so by a combination of
yocalists and ali around star actors,
actresses and dancers that can hardly
be equalled in one company. AS one
person said this morning, "there
wasn't shady story told during the
play, and yet there was more fun and
real laughter throughout than in any
play ever given in the city, The
costumes were all beautiful, new and
becoming. Those who attended
thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

graduated for the fine line of enter

RECENTLY an organized attack by
alleged democrats has been made on
President Wilson in an endeavor to
defeat his denomination for the presi-
dency in 1916. Anyone who has
watched closely the political trend in
the last two years will have no diff
Guilty in guessing at the source from
which this attack originates.
In 1904 VIM. r. Hearst, the owner
of the Famous New York Joinal,"
as the little news boys call it, en-
deavored to obtain the Democratic
nomination by spending unlimited
sums of money. VIM. r. Hearst
found out that he could not obtain
the Democratic nomination by ''open-
ing the bung'' of his huge barrel, and
furthermore that the Democratic
nomination never has been sold, and
never will be for sale. So Mr.. Hearst
after having found that he could not
obtain his Democratic nomination
with money, he then set out in 1908
and bought and paid for' a little
political party of his own which he
called the Independent League;;"
but he could not get much satisfac-
ton out of that as he never succeeded
in polling / per cent of the votes of
the country.
So after having failed to get the
nomination in 1904 and having failed
to create a party of his own
for selfish purposes, determined
to try the ''Mark Hanna game" and
that is nominate, elect and then own
your president, the same as Mark
Hanna did William Mckinley. So
the Hearst papers are now busy at
work endeavoring to side track Mr..
Wilson and nominate Champ Clark,
who came very near securing the
nomination in 1912 after VIM. r.
Hearst had spent, it is alleged over
two million dollars in helping to
elect delegates for him to the Demo-
cratic convention of 1912. The only
ground that they are basing their
campaign on, is the claim which they
are making that Mr.. Wilson does not
wish the denomination in 1916. Mr..
Wilson has not spoken on this ques-
tion and it is we'll known that he has
never been governed to the slightest
extent in his official action by de-
sire for a denomination. In this re-
spect Mr. Wilson stands out conspic-
uously in class by himself, as he is
the only one in the last fifty years
ever elected to the Presidency who
did not Immediately proceed to work
for denomination. President Will
sons sole object and efforts have
been to serve the people of the United
States and if they demand his renom-
ination in 1916, which they will I'M
doubleday do, Of their own free viii
and accord, he viii undoubtedly ac-
cept the some as duty to his coun-
try.

A Great achievement Of the TeIe-
phone.

Today, Jan 18th, for the first time
in the history of the whole world, the
voice of man has been carried across
this American continent instantly, by
means of the electric telephone. DR..
Alexander Graham Bell, in the Office
of the American Telephone and Tele-'
graph Co. in New York, conversed
with Mr.. Thomas A. Watson, in the
office of the Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph Co. in San Francisco.
Less than 40 years ago DIR. Bell or
Prof. Bell as he was then called, and
his associate Thomas A. Watson start
ed out late one night from their room
in Boston to try out their perfected
telephone. They had talked to each
other in different rooms of the house
over wire connecting their tele-
phones, but had never tried it on
real outdoor line before. And now
they were going to try it on line
taco miles long. To their great joy,
they found that they could actually
talk to each ether over this two miles
of line. The immediate outcome of
that test made that night on that
telegraph line running from Boston
two miles to Cambridge, is matter
of history.
But today another chapter has been
added to that history. when these
same men, now honored and respected
by all, talked to each other over the
vast space of thirty-four hundred
miles which separated them.
And to show the marvellous i'm
provements which have been made in
these 40 years DR.. Bell speaking into
an exact reproduction of his old Bos-
ton telephone was heard by Mr.. Wat
son listening with the same old receiv-
ing set that they had used years ago.
During the celebration, President
Wilson, at the White House in Wash
| ington, conversed with President
Moore of the Panama Pacific EXPOSE
ton, who was at his office in San
Francisco.
| The line was kept busy by the ex-
changing of congratulations and felic-
itations between the mayors and
other prominently people of the East
and West. All records for long dis
lance telephone speech, however, were
shattered, when Mr.. Theodore N.
Vail, President of the American Tel
ephone and Telegraph Co., who is
| spending the winter at a little island
off the coast of Georgia, over thou
sand miles from New York, talked to
the people gathered in the office of
the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
Co.'s Office in San Francisco, dis
lance of over forty-four hundred miles
away.
In a very short time now this SER
vice will be available to the general
public, and then all that will be nee
essary for any one to do to call up a
friend in California, will be to take
off the receiver and call long distance
and say, "I'm Mr.. Blank and wish to
talk with my son at telephone No.
ATS in San Francisco"
Great as is this marvellous achieve
ment, the American Telephone and
Telegraph Co. promises that it is but
the beginning of greater things.
