FEW HORRORS DURING SIEGE.

Venice. March 3.-According to the
Hun 2arian newspapers received here
the sta ,.0n in Phzemysl, which has
been ui...er siege of Russian army
for four months, is not yet alarming
Aviators, who visit the garrison al
most daily, report that there should
be no really serious shortage of pro-
visions for another three months. The
victualing problem has been consid-
erably asslsled by the flight over the
town recently Of vast focks of wild
ducks which were shot by the thou
sands.
The population of Przemysl now
numbers about $4,000, including both
soldiers and civilians and 5000 Rus
sian prisoners The garrison is all
Hungarian.
The Russian besiegers under Gen
eral Dimitrieff hold every entrance
and approach to the town, but they are
still held outside of the outer line of
the city's Notifications, which have a
radius Of twelve miles, and include a
considerable area of farm and garden
land and twelve small agricultural
villages
The city was we'll stocked with food
ut the beginning of the siege and this
supply has been carefully husbanded
and doled out under the strictest regu-
lations by the military authorities.

DESIGNER Of STARS

CAROLINlAN MADE FIRST FLAG
OF coNFEDERAcY. COMMIT
TEE FINDS.

Savannah, Ca, March 3.-At the re
cent general convention of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, Mrs.
Daisy McLaurin Stevens, its president
general, was instructed to appoint Il
committee of three to cooperate with
similar committees from the United
Confederate Veterans and the Confed-
crate Memorial association to deter
mine the designer of the Stars and
Bars and thus settle controversy.
The honor is claimed for the late
Major Orrin Randolph Smith of Louis
burg, N. c., and for Nicola Marshall,
artist and draughtsman, of Marion,
Ala. The two designs appear to have
been very similar and both were made
early after the opening Of the Civil
war.
Major Smiths design was complel
ed and raised on fiagstaff in front OF
the courthouse at Louisburg on Feb
ruary 12. 1861, before North Carolina
seeded. Mr.. Marshall, who is still
hale and heaty, declares that the de
sign for the flag and the gray uniform
were painted by him in his studio Ii

early in May, 1861. Major Smith:

SWISS BREAD GOING UP.

Geneva, March 8. = The price of
bread has increased 25 to 80 per cent
in Switzerland in three weeks, while
the size and quality of the loaves have
diminished. Shippers will not take
the risk of sending wheat down the
Rhine to Basel as Germany has not
given out a definite statement con
corning the traffic on the Rhine.
Southern Russia supplies most of the
grain to Switzerland and this country
now depends upon America for grain
through Genoa and Marsailles, but
thesF two ports are congested with
goods and the former is temporarily
closed. The Swiss mills cannot fill
their orders and in Geneva alone IA
bakers closed their shops within the
last two days.
Switzerland is supporting" a popu

HAT1|ESBURG' HAS
BIG BROOM FACTORY

An industry that might grow to
great proportions, If encouraged by
the merchants and citizens generally,
is the Hub Broom Factory, at 627
Fourth street, run by Lee and Bridges.
They have a capacity of four dozen
brooms per day and have on hand now
a sufficient amount of material for the
manufacture of one hundred dozen.
Their prices are as reasonable as the
brooms can be bought elsewhere and
they guarantee every broom they
make.

really little value in a community
where the amounts of each article pur-

1t is said that the HungaIians with
in the city get along very well with
their Russian prisoners, many of
whom have given their parole and are
allowed to move freely within a lin
