The "War Department has decided on the-
arrangement of the stars on our national J
flag, at least so far as the army field em
blem is con
cerned. As is

admission of new
States recently
has raised the

ment of 'the sym
bols on the blue-
field on-our flag,
The Nets Arrangement, which, according
to custom, denote the States in the Union.
In order that those of our patriotio citizens
who contepplate the making of flags in. the
near future may know what is the proper
form, I append a cut from the most recent
designs adopted by the Government. Those
constructing on the lines shown can rest
satisfied that they are "in style" at least
until more States are admitted.
W
Prince Oeorge.
Xaco Jit a, 2f e w Idea.
To-day is but the repetition of- yesterday!
and the fashions of the people of the pres
ent,, are those of the past over again. It is
now proposed by the leaders of fashion to
make this a "lace-wearing Beason," and the
proposition is made in such a manner, that
one would think that an era of lace was en
tirely without precedent. How the mode
makers come by this idea it is impossible to
state, but they hold it nevertheless, in spite
of the tact that there is good reasons for be
lieving otherwise. I do not know whether
the people of Biblical times had any "Worth's
or Eedfern'a among their number, but, it is
certain they wore lace, for does not the
Great Book tell us of the "nets of checker
work" and "tapestry" worn by Solomon's
"virtuous woman." Homer, Herodotus
and other Greek writers mention the cauls,
veils, networks and gold embroidered gar
ments of patrician Egypt and soma of the
effigies left by those people, wear tunics
bordered by work wonderfully like that of
lace, it it is really not intended for it.
In confirmation of the ancient authorities
a female mummv in the 2Tew York Histor
ical Society's collection bears on its head a
cap of lace, of the pattern once known as
Grecian net. The Greeks and Hebrews,
and after them the Bomans, all had their
lace, but of more or less crude patterns. An
JInglish writer mentions a statue of Diana -in
the cabinet of Portici Italy, which was
dressed in "a purple gown worn after the
manner of the Koman ladies, the garment
edged with lacs exactly resembling point."
If then, durinc all these centuries, lace has
been made, worn and always admired, there
is som! reason to believe hat there has also
been Eonie earlier "seasons of lace-wearing"
than the present.
A Prince of Muscle
The press of different countries1 and.par-j
ticnlarly that of .Russia, continues to com-
compliment and talk
about Prince George
of Greece, who re
cently distinguished
himself by saving the
Czarewitch of Russia
from severe injury,
if not death, in Japan.
In the endeavor to do
the young hero hom
age they have all
"been handicapped by
alack of knowledge
his earlier career and
character. It was
absolutely necessary
to have something
concerning him.
therefore indiscriminate "faking" has been
me result, lrom wuicn we severally atner,
that he is a small, sickly youth with a weak
constitution, as well as a voung Hercules
with the strength of a lion. The last
description is the right, as Prince George is
really a giant. He stand six feet fonr
inches in height and is built in proportion.
His life before the mast has added to his
growth and development, and it is said he
delights in measuring his strength with that
of the common sailors on his ship, none of
whom have been able to cope with him
sucoeosf ully. As has ever been the case of
men of extraordinary strength or skill, he
is the idol of his followers.
A Slight Mix as to Samcs.
Where is the volcano of Solfatara? The
cable correspondent who sent the report to
this country that the volcano of that name
was showing signs of activity must have got
his names and terms a little mixed. In
fact, Solfatara is the general name given by
Italians to those craters which arenotactive,
beyond exhaling gases. In Germany they
would be known as Schwefelrube or Schwe
felsee and in French Soufriere. In Italy
there are quite a number .of solfataras to
use the term in its true sense as there are
also in Asia, Java and other lands. The
one near Kaples, referred to in the cable
gram, has long been noted for its medicinal
bathing springs. They are situated right
in the crater of the old volcano, which is
now an irregular plain 1,3G3 feet long and
1,310 broad, surrounded by hills of puma
ceous tufa, from the crevices of which ex
hale the gases, composed in this case of
sulphuretted hydrogen mixed with muriatic
acid and muriate ot ammonia.
TYiIl Get Justice This Time,
The English Government has been 3 little
more fortunate in its present troubles in
India than on
former occasions.

never apprehend
ed. In the Hani-
pur affair, however, 4all the leaders of the
revolt have been caught and already tried
and convicted. The Senaputtv has re
ceived a death sentence, and the others,
among them the Jubraj, or regent of the
district, proved guilty of complicity, and in
each cae given severe penalties. The Sena

was commander of the native forces in
Manipur when the outbreak occurred.
The Itoinan and Greek Churches.
It is reported that Pope Leo is endeavor
ing to arrange a reunion of the Boman with
the Greek Church. The results, however,
are likely to be the same as those of the
constantly recurring overtures made since
the middle of the fifth century, when the
first rupture took place. The Greek Church
proper differs from the Latin in rejecting
the authority of the Boman pontiff and re
fusing to accept any but the first seven
councils of the church and all of those dis
tinguished since as belonging to what is
known as the Western Church. For three
years in the thirteenth century, the different
branches were united, but that is the only
occasion in which an attempt at reooncUia
tion has been in the least successful.
In the meantime, however, there has been
a number of secessions or rather com
promises, which have given to the Boman
Church a branchknownas the United Greek
Church, which preserving the characteristics
of the eastern branch, accepts the supremacy
of the Pope and the general laws of the
Boman Catholic faith,. The United Greeks
are found in several European countries,
where their numbers are estimated as fol
lows: Italy 80,000; Poland 250,000 and
Austria 4,000,000. One of the most im
portant usages of the regular Greek Church
is maintained by the United Greeks in that
the priests are permitted to marry. In the
event of any reconciliation it would proba
bly be -on this basis, for the time being at
least
The Churoh.-and the Stage.
"The assertion often made by foreigners
that'there is more real liberality of thought
and opinion on the other side of the ocean
than on this, is forcibly borne out by the
Bishop of Durham, one of England's most
intellectual men, who, during the course of
f-the past week, has contributed a letter to
the newspapers of his country, in which he
6werely scores the tendency of some preach
ers to condemn the drama. He remarks
that the "universal instinct toward dramatio
representations appears to show that the
theater answers to the natural and right de
sire," and goes on to say that, although a
harmless pastime of any kind may be bad
for particular persons, that is no reason
why others, who can enjoy it without harm
and be benefited thereby, should be de
prived of it, and that an amusement which
jerves toligjiten the burden of human cares
is, in his 'opinion, "a blessing divinely
sent."
The only object I have In quoting the.
eminent Englishman is to show how men
havintr the same aim in their life's work-
namely, the saving of souls differ in their
metnoas.
A Famous Case Sevived.
Aman named John Doe owns a farm on
i-tbo Niagara river. His fine pasture lands
have earned considerable money for him.
Bichard Boe pays for the privilege of hitch
ing his rowboat to Doe's bank. Ebenezer
Dick pays for his cow's pasturage. The
other day Boe lost the chain'of his boat and
made a rope of hay answer for the time
being. Dick's cow wandered to the -river
and into the boat; chewed the rope and the
entire combination drifted over the falls,
the cow being drowned and the boat
smashed to pieces. The questions now asked
are, whether Dick has a claim on anybody
for the loss of his milk-giver and whether
Boe can recover for the loss of his boat? If
so, from whom? Thus does the most ridion
lous fiction, namelv. the easa of "Tinllmn
l-rersns Boatum" manifest itself azsin.
Had a Good Chase, Anyhow.
Xow that the Itata has been run down. J
,111c wusmiigxon authorities announoe with
a great deal of dignity, that as far as they
understand the matter, the runaway vessel
had been, guilty of no breach of interna
tional law. That's nice. After all the
threats of coming disputes, claims for dam
ages, etc- the whole question amounts to
nothing. JusMhink of the trouble thA -

been put to in this matter how they have'

Monday evening. Nothing of Importance
outside of routine business was transacted.

The annual reception of the Washington

About 600 friends of the boys were present
and enjoyed the occasion hugely.

sion should be present.
Govzsxox Pattisoit yesterday vetoed the
bill which waB passed some time ago, fixing
the annual allowance for companies at $750.
The Governor's reason for refusing to sano
tlon the bill was due to the fact that he had
already during the present session of the
Legislature allowed the Guard a number of
little additions for expenses.
Avtsb the Fourth of July next the field of
the United States flag will contain U stars,
the last one being added in' favor of Wyo

ranged in six rows, the upper and lower
rows to have eight stars each, while the
other four rows have seven stars each.
Tub reception tendered by Colonel and
Mrs. Norman M. Smith to the officers of the
Eighteenth Regiment last Friday evening
was a very delightful affair Indeed, and
tended to inorease the general bond of good
feeling among those present. The damp
ness of the weather caused some of the
Colonel's preparations for pleasure to be
marred, but otherwise a- delightful evening
was passed.

Stato property from the Central Armory of
the Fourteenth Begiment. During the ab
sence of the regiment In Philadelphia, two
weeks ago, the armory was broken into and
a number of blankets and other articles
stolen, and through the efforts of some of
the members of the Washington Infantry,
who also have their armory in the same
building, the names of tho thieves were dis
covered and their arrest will follow. The
State laws relative to National Guard prop
