Anyone desiring a portfolio can now obtain it by presenting one coupon and ten cents at the business office of the GAZETTE. ’ Eighteen numbers have been issued :nd back numbers can be supplied. Fair-est of Flags. The liberal display made of “Old Glory” on our National Flag Day, the anniversary of the date when Congress decided on the design of the stars and stripes, was a most potent and patriotic object lesson. It proved that the peo- ple more and more, love their flag and , are thoroughly in favor of commemo- ' rating its adoption. It was one hun- dred and seventeen. years ago last Thursday since that beautiful emblem has floated over a nation that has never experienced a defeat, a distinction which all our people should remember, that no other nation enjoys. It has been confessed over and over again by the traitors who in the late ciVil war tried to destroy our Union, that their fatal mistake was in abandoning the flag under which their fathers fought for liberty. This year here in Norwalk happens to be one of special local in- sistence and the liberal display of the fairest of flhgs about our town, gave a throb of even warmer patriotism than usual, as all eyes looked up to that glo- rious emblem of constitutional liberty and national independence. It was the whole country’s day. Not the day of any one state, religion, business inter- est, or political party. It was the American People’s Day. Long may the “dear old flag” continue to wave. It is well to instruct and encourage the children in their natural and in- stinctive love of their flag, by a contin- uance of the beautiful custom so an- spiciously inaugurated, by yearly cele~ brating the flag’s anniversary. It was a delightful sight to see so many ladies and children wearing tiny flags draped over their hearts. The story of the first American flag has been often told, but will never fail to be new and entertaining. Congress appointed a corgmittee, with Gen. Washington at its head, to design a flag suitablefor the new born nation. This committee prepared a design and then looked around for some one to make the flag in accordance with it. i A young woman named Betsy Ross, who was noted for her skill in needlework, lived in a little house on Arch street, Philadelphia, which is still standing. It is said. that she used to make the handsome ruffled bosoms of the shirts that Gen. \Vashington himself wore; but, at any rate, the great patriot was familiar with her handiwork, so he called upon her and showing her the rough draft of the flag, which is still in the posession of the State Department, asked her if she could make such a ban- ' iier. Betsy modestly said that she would try. The design adopted by the committee consisted of alternating red and white stripes, thirteen in number, and thirteen six-pointed stars on a back- ground of blue, symbolic of the union of the thirteen colonies as states. Betsy ‘ toss suggested that a five-pointed star would be more appropriate, and Gen. Washington took her advice. A fur-, ther change in the arrrngement of the stars was made from the original circle to the old idea of a cross.’ The flag made by Betsy Ross and submitted by the committee was adopt- ed by Congress on June 14, 1777, and she was commissioned to make a great ' many more. _Her uncle, Col. Ross, an ofliccr of the revolution, is said to have provided her with the means to secure the necessary material, and there is a record of an order .on the Treasury Department, made in 1777, “To pay Betsy Ross fourteen pounds twelve shillings two pence for flags for the fleet on the Delaware river.” Betsy . Ross died January 30, 1836, in the eighty-fifth year of her age. She is buried in ,Mount Moriah cemetery at Philadelphia. ' Though the flag was adopted in June, the formal announcement of it was not made until September 3 following, when, for the first time, it was filing to the breeze as a rational ensign." , The first public use of it was made In 1777, , head of his- brig, the Ranger, at Ports- mouth, and put to sea to prove himself .a terror to the English merchant ves- ‘ sels. Prior to this, nearly‘ every col- ony had from one to five symbols, but ' > all now adopted the stars and stripes. Theflag was first flown on land during the campaign which resulted in the capture of Philadelphia by Lord Howe. From that time it was the recognized ensign of the American republic until May 1, 1795, when the number of stars and stripes were each increased to fif- teen, to take on Vermont and Ken- tucky. This enlarged flag was fleated during the war of 1812 and 1814. In 1816, a number of other new states having been admitted, Congress ap- '. pointed a committee to consider the question of altering the flag. Capt. Reid, the naval hero, advocated before the committee the reduction of the number of stripes to thirteen, and the adoption of a number of stars equal to the number of. states, formed into the shape of a large star. This arrange- ment was not approved wholly, but the followmg year a similar bill, with the exception of the arranging of the stars, was passed by Congress and received President Monroe’s signature April 14, 1818, and this is the flagthat is daily seen floating from the flag-staff's of the United States government and Connec- ticut school houses. The union has now been changed from a square to a rectangle, and on it are forty-four stars, symbolic of the number of states. The stars are ar- ranged in six straight'lines, the upper and lower lines having eight stars, while the other four lines contain seven stars each. . “And the star spanglcd banner, 0h long may it wave, O’er the home of _the free And the land of the brave. Camp at Niantic. The general orders for camp at Nian- tic require that men enlisted in 1894 must receive instructions at the armory on an average of two evenings per week until camp time, August 11. “Men en- listed after June 30 may be taken to camp and perform duty without pay. Such men must be carried on the pay- roll as “recruits” or “absent with leave. ” The brigadier general is instructed to enforce strict military discipline during camp, to cause schools of instruction to be ordered by commanding officers of the different organizations to take place every afternoon, beginning Au- gust 11, and continuing to Thursday, 16th. inclusive; Sunday, Friday and Saturday (18th) excepted, between the hours of 1 and 5 p. m. Especial attention will be given to guard duty, particularly to the officers of the guard, regarding sentinels and guards on post. Rifle practice must be had, if the new rifle range is sufficient- ly complete to accomplish the purpose. Under the head of transportation each one small trunk for each officer.” The same method of feeding the men as last year will be employed this year. I t is believed that with the experience of last year a bill-of-fare superior to that can be furnished for not exceeding 857 per man for the eight days. Of this amount the state wlll pay one-half (pro- vided the men are satisfied to pay the balance.) The'only alternative to this plan is to furnish companies uncooked rations and let them provide for them- selves. Requisitions for clothing, equipments, etc., must be forwarded to the adj utant general’s office before July 30. The governor will review the brigade on Friday, August 17. .9. “The Merciful Man,1’ Etc. The weather to-day has been insuffer- ably hot It has brought perspiration from every pore and caused life to be a burden. And what is worse, the pre- diction for to-morrow gives promise of more misery. But we must grin and bear it. While we are trying to keep cool, let us all bear in mind that horses, chickens and all other animals we may have in our care, suffer as much, and perhaps more, than we do ourselves. When we are thirsty and tired and our throats are parched, it is fair to pre- sume that they suffer in the same way. While the mercury is hovering around the nineties, let us remember that the merciful man is merciful to his beast. USE DANA'S SARSAPARILLAJT’S “THE KIND ’I‘HAT GURES. ” Was Not Poisoned.

' Two Cars on the Tramway Come Together Near Wilson Point. ' Car. Trolley cars Nos 8 and 12 joined. to- gether, with motorman Betts at the brake, were run into Friday evening about 5:30 o’clock by car No. 3, moto - man Pierce. Several persons were hurt in the collision. Mrs. Manice. De F. Lockwood had her ankle sprained and Zita, daughter of B. C. Feeney of the Hour, and avdaughter of John F. Flynn, had their heads out. A large_ number of the passengers Jumped off, and escaped inyury. . . _ The accident occurred at a pornt this side of Michael F. Walsh’s residence on the Wilson Point Road. Owing to the excitement caused by the accident full particulars are hard to obtain. At the Tramway office Mr. Mansfield informed a GAZETTE repre- sentative that Assistant Superintendent Dunbar had reported that car No. 3 had left the switch on Meadow 'street by his orders after waiting twenty-five minutes, and was proceeding slowly along with motorman Pierce sounding the gong. When rounding the curve at the top of the hill after passmg un- der the Danbury tracks, cars No. 8 and 12 were seen coming down the grade at a rapid rate. Motorman Pierce applied the brake and reversed his motor bring- ing his car to a stop before car 8 collid- ed with them. The above reported statement of Dunbar is not borne out by any of the witnesses interviewed nor is it believed to be a true statement of the accident. A GAZETTE representative called upon Dr. Frank T. Hyatt this morning and from him received a full and explicit statement of the collision. Dr. Hyatt says that cars 8 and 12 were detained . some time at the point by No. 12 get- ting lot? the track. After getting the car back on the rail they started for South Norwalk andwere just beyond Mr. Walsh’s house when they saw can No. 3 coming towards them at a rapid rate. . The doctor says that he was sit- ting on the front seat of car N o. 8 and as soon as motorman Betts saw the ap- proaching car he applied his brake With his full strength and reversed his motor bringing his car to a full stop. The doctor further says that instead of standing by his car and applying the brakes and reverse motorman Pierce of No. 3 deliberately jumped off his car and allowed it to‘crash into No. 8. When the two cars came together Pierce’s car was thrown backward about thirty feet while Betts’ car did not move, showing conclusively that the brakes on Pierce’s car had not been set prior to his jumping off. Dr. Hyatt says that while he made a fight to Jump ofl' himself he was prevented from so doing by the conductor, but that mo- torman Betts stuck to his post and did not leave it until his brakes had been firmlyset ‘and his car brought to a standstill. This statement of Dr. Hyatt is fully corroborated by several others present on the car at the time, every one mak- ing the same statement as to motorman Betts’ car being at a standstill at the time of the collision and motorman Pierce jumping off and letting his car 0. . ho. - Mrs. Lockwood received the fsprain to her ankle by placing her foot against the dash of No. 3 car as it struck No. 8. The other accidents were caus- ed by the sudden reversingof No. 8 by motorman Betts, which threw the oc- cupants against the forward seats. From all the facts gleaned it would appear as though Assistant Secretary Dunbar is to blame for sending car No. 3 off the switch and that motorman Pierce got scared and deserted his car when he should have remained at his post. In addition to this there seems to be a deliberate attempt on the part of some one to shield motorman Pierce and place the blame on motorman Betts who bravely remained at his post. Whether this is from favoritism or be- cause those on car No. 3 were to blame for the accident is not known. 4» , Ye Olden Time. , Just at this time when our peOple are burnishing up their old heirlooms, making historical researches and pre- paring for a fitting celebration of the 244th anniversary of the founding of our town, it becomes painfully appar- ent that very few persons are now liv- ing who saw the dawn of this rapidly waning century. It would be quite safe to say that not more than one pri. vate house in N orwalk shelters two per- sons whose ages aggregate 186 years. That house is the Charles Mallory homestead on West avenue where re- side Mrs. Sally Mallory, now in her '913t‘ year and Mrs. Jane Weed, in her 97th year. Both enJoy fairly good health, Mrs. Mallory still being able to walk as far as, either Village and Mrs. the house. 'Mrs. Mallory is cared for by her grand-daughter, Miss Sarah Henderson and Mrs. Weed lives with her daughter, Mrs. Albert R. Scofield. Mr. Edwin Mallory ofCorpus Christi, Texas, a former occupant of the old Stevenson house on West avenue, now the Geo. N. Ells’ property, is Mrs. Ma1~ lory’s only survivingchild and Mrs. Weed is the mother of Oliver W. Weed, Esq.‘, of South Norwalk. , ,,- ' An Explosion. There was an explosion at O. K. Sco- field’s store on Main street Sunday afternoon, whichresulted in the breaks- ing ofa large plate-glass window._ In the window at the store was a pile of canned tomatoes. One of the cans at the bottom of the pile exploded and the other cans were hurled helter skelter all over the store, one of the number going through the window and landing on the stoop. Another can struck the glass in the door and cracked the same. The loss was confined to one can of to- matoes and two panes of glass. His Father Took Him.

The day was an ideal one for, such a race, and "it Was WitneSsed by fully 4,000 people. - The entire course from the Congre- gational church to Gregory’s Paint was fringed with people all more or less anxious as to the result of the race which was closely contested. _. The starters numbered something over sixty. There were but two pr three accidents and those not of. a very 'serious nature. Thomas Walsh collid- ed with Fred Hoyt but neither were injured very badly. Harry Bossa’of New Canaan was throwh from his wheel and was hurt about his head and side. He was taken to the house of a friend in a coach. , . .0. G.

On Friday, J une8th, an old soldier, an inmate of the ~ Soldiers’ Home was run over by a .team, and received in- juries from which he died at the Home on the following Sunday. He was out with two companions taking a walk early Friday evening when a team, rap- idly driven,camc along at furious speed. The three men supposed the driver would veer out a ltttle, but before the men could escape, Kay was knocked down, the wheels passing over his’head, cutting two savage wounds and also ran over his body. His wounds were dressed, but he lapsed into an uncon- scious state in which he died. ' This morning Deputy sheriffs Toner and Bolster placed Willian Garvey who lives on the turnpike in this town under arrest as beingone of the parties in the carriage at the time of the accident, and took him to Stamford. . He will be given a hearing to-morrow in Darien. Commencement Exercises. The commencement exercises at Mrs. M. E. Mead’s “Hillside” school took place Saturday afternoon and evening. The members of the graduating class, Miss Gertrude Butz, Miss Margaret Clarkson, Miss Priscilla D. Nice, Miss Florence Travis, Miss Isabel Vander- slice and Miss Elizabeth Vassar, wore dresses in keeping with the class color, pink. The president of the class was Miss Vassar, who made the address; Miss Butz gave piano selections, Miss Travis recited ”the class doings for the year, Miss Nice gave a guitar solo. Miss Vanderslice was the class prophet- ess. The class ivy, was planted followed by a pink tea in the library. A pleas- ing feature of the exercises was an ad- dress by Mrs. M. E. Mead.

On Saturday last faithful Johnny Harty bossed the job of felling this monster tree with the thermometer at 93 degrees and Johnny thinks the heat was much nearer purga~ tory than that even. By his care and agility, however, a very seriOus acci- dent to a lady and'her babe passing in a carriage, was averted. She was not looking at her team and the tree in falling would have struck them, had not. darty sprang for the horse and backed it- out of danger.
