THK largest flag in the world is to be exhibited tinder the auspices of the Daughters of the American Revolution. It was made during the Spanish-Amer­ ican war by Miss Josephine Mulford, of Madison, N. J. There are 825, (MX) stitch­ es in the flag, one for each soldier ancl sailor engaged in the recent war. The flag is 100 feet long and 65 feet wide, and the blue ground measures 40x25 feet The ptripes are 5 feet wide and each star is 2* feet in diameter. There is also a sentimental interest connected with sev­ eral of the stars of the flag, as they were made at places in the various states which are associated with the great events of America® history. It is said that the flag is to be presented to the nation on the first anniversary of the signing of the recent treaty of peace. Filigree's Plan. V-UGV. Pingree, of Michigan, made an • effort to carry through a scheme which would result in the municipal ownership of the street railway system of Detroit, but failed. The recent legislature act by the Michigan legislature, granting this privilege was declared unconstitu­ tional by the Michigan supreme court. By the provisions of the recent state law. which was declared unconstitutional, the city of Detroit could purchase the en­ tire street railway system of Detroit at an appraised value, the same to be ap­ pointed by the city council of Detroit. The street railways of the city were val­ ued at $16,800,000 and the city was to give 4 per cent bonds to secure the pur­ chase. But, however, before the deal could be brought to a close the supreme court of Michigan declared the state law : unconstitutional. The state constitution of Michigan provides that the state shall not be a party to or interested in the work of internal improvement or engage in the carrying on of any such work. They held that street railways were pub- • lie improvements and consequently the law unconstitutional. ©reaver, Dreyfus was of a nationality tn ill favor by a large part of the people. He was a Jew and could rally less sup­ port England has long ago done away with race hatred. In this country very little of it exista. But in France it is still strong, as with most Latin people, and is conclusive proof of serioua_slack in civilisation. > . feminine Pioneer* of LoaMr JtHb. A copy of a curious newspaper has i>een found in the French national ar­ chives, says Literature. It is dated January 4, 1808, and is called l'Athenee des Dames. The articles are evidently written by women and the object of the paper seems to have been an attempt to place women on an equal footing •with men. The feminine pioneers of 1S08 were evidontly nearly 100 years ahead of their times. La Fronde, the Parisian newspaper written, printed and published by women, is now in its third year and appears to be successful, while only one copy of l'Athenee des Dames is to be found. PROBATE COURT NEWS The Dreyfus Case. The return of Dreyfus from his prison on Devil's Island, near the French possessions of South America, south­ east of Cuba, for retrial a few weeks ago, will naturally arouse a new inter­ est in that famous case. In 1894, for alleged treasonable relations with a foreign power, being charged with re­ vealing important military secrets, Captain Dreyfus of the French army was sentenced by a court martial to incarceration under extremely severe regulations on this desolate island. The conditions the Knglish imposed on Napoleon the Great on St. Helena were paradise compared with the brutal treatment of Dreyfus, provided by the military of his own nation. The trial was shamefully wanting in justice, which, though it was private, was soon apparent to the outside. The haste with which it was railroaded through and the prisoner conveyed away out of reach or touch with Frrnce or means of redress, cast grave suspicion that it was foal play. The feeling was not quieted and a strong undercurrent, headed, it seems, by Zola, the novelist, probed at the proceedings of the court martial and developed finally the rotten inward­ ness; and armed with the evidence, he, over his own name, severely arraigned the military concerned, and challenged them to prosecute him for libel. In the bitter contest Zola lost the verdict and was sentenced. But his end was gained. The roasting of the court, and incident­ ally the French government, by Ameri­ cans and English especially, together with a large party at home, obliged an appeal for a new trial to be carried to the supreme court. Without much delay the court considered the testimony, made original research, and promptly ordered the return and retrial of Drey­ fus. Meanwhile, Col. Henry confessed to forging the memorandums and sui­ cided, while Esterhazy turned states' evidence, and ready to incriminate army officers far above h™, some of whom are under surveillance and practical arrest. Dreyfus was brought from Devil's Island and now stands ready to await a retrial. The harshness is largely with- drawn from his treatment, hut he shows sadly the effects of the four year's terrible ordeal. His faithful and able wife was the first admitted to his cell. His trial is set for July 81, if his condi­ tion will permit of it. It would seem that he should be at once acquitted, but of this there is no certainty. It is still to an extent the same parties deeply interested in his downfall for their own sake who are pitted against him. They ttuscroupulous and without a con­ science, and backed by a military pride averse to the army 's improved reputa­ tion. But Lobet, at the head of the govern- , Went, and supported by the most cap- Able ministry France has had in years, is in his favor. France is not alone in­ terested in the outcome, but the lovers of good government everywhere are interested in it. To free government the world over, the outrage re-enacted would be a set back, while to the repub­ lic of France it might be fatal. I To appearance, the matter is bnrried I up in the facts that -an official or offi­ cials, high in army stations, to suppli- ment an income inadequate to a fast life, had recourse to the crime in character that Dreyfus was accused of *nd to divert attention brought action v twfortmwte caption. People Wfco Say The French are very proud of having discovered the word "smart," which they apply in every sort of incongruous way, using it 20 titties per day. The word "smart" has even crossed the Pyrenees, only altering its complexion in transit. A tourist the other day saw a gaudy parasol in a shop window of the Eambla at Barcelona, and on it was a huge .ticket inscribed in flaring cap­ itals: "Smark!!!" This was a canine vaxiatiob. , IS IT KIGBT J For u Editor to Recommend Patent Medicine ? From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad, N. C. It may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to pnblicly recommend any of the various proprietary medicines which flood the market, yet as a preventive of suffering we feel it a duty to say a good word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medicine in our family for twenty years and have always found it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depend­ ing implicitly on any medicine for a cure, but we do believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand and administered at the inception of an attack much suffering might be avoided and in very many cases the presence of a physician would not be required. At least this has been our experience during the past twenty years. For sale by J. A- Story, druggist, "We have SQM many differnt cough remedies, but none has given better, satisfaction than Chamberlain's" says Mr. Charles Holtzhauer, Druggist, Newark, N. J. "It is perfectly safe and can be relied upon in all cases of coughs, colds or hoarness. Sold by J. A. Story, Druggist. An Epidemic of Diarrhoea Mr. A. Sanders, writing from Coco­ nut Grove, Fla., says there has been quite an epidemic of diarrhoea there. He had a severe attack and was cured by four doses of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. He says he also recommended it to others and they say it is the best medicine they ever used.

ILL- n'i'% within the bounds of conservative statement to say that no other House in the county can furnish a bettor paint than In view of the great number of different brands of Mixed Paint now on the market this is a broad statement, yet abso­ lutely true. A coat or two of good paint, properly applied, will make any house appear as dean and fresh as though it were newly built. The greatest care, however, should be exercised in the choice of a paint, as a poor article is worse than valueless. The item of labor is by far the greatest part of the expense in painting a house, therefore, it is highly important to save the cost of labor by buying only paint which will prove the best and the most durable. In order to be sure that you get the best, see to it that every can you buy has on it, signed by the manufacturers, a guarantee that the paint is absolutely pure and free from every adulteration. Crown Cottage Colors are guar­ anteed to be composed of Strictly ^ure white lead, Oxide of Zinc Tinting colors, Pure Linseed Oil, and entirely free from adulteration. We further guarantee that Crown Cot­ tage Colors will go farther, wear longer and look better than any brand of mixed paint on the market. Furthermore, we will state that should you find that rown Cottage < olors, when properly applied, will not give entire satisfaction, we will supply you free of charge with sufficient material to do tie entire work over again.
