Entertain Personal Notes.
There was Joy In nbundnnce nt the
rooms of the Century Hose company,
when the members assembled for their
usual social chat last night.
The cause of this happiness was that
work was commenced yesterday on the
alterations to lie made at the hose
house.
As Is generally known, the way the
company Is situated Is anything but
enjoyable. In the Hartman building
the company has three neat little
rooms, cosy and convenient, but tho
horses and apparatus are kept In a
barn neatily a block away. This Is .1
big setback for Permanent man Knel
lar In responding to un alarm.
Amonir the Neptune and Century
companies there Is a spirited hut
friendly rivalry us to "which reaches
the scene of the lires in the Eleventh
and Nineteenth wards first. Under the
present conditions the Centurys cannot
be expected to compete with the Nep
tune boys.
Mrs. c. Hartman, owner of the Cen
tury quarters, Is about to remodel the
building to meet the requirements. The
first floor, now used as meeting nnd
sleeping rooms, will be Improved. The
front windows will be removed and a
swinging door put In. An extension
will be added, In which house the
horses and apparatus will be kept.
The floor above will be fitted up for
a parlor, meeting room and sleeping
apartment. When these changes are
made the company will bo In good
shape.
REFORE ALDERMAN LENTES.
John Gautz, of Elm street, on whom
a warrant was served Monday, but who
was allowed his liberty until 7 oclock
that night, when he was to be given
a hearing, and who appeared at the
time stated but left when the bell
censed tolling. Is a wiser but sadder
man today.
Constable Woelkers arrested him
early yesterday morning and lodged
him In the Alder street station house,
where ho remained until last night.
When arraigned for a hearing, Mr.
Lentes said some pointed nnd unpleas
ant things to him. On the charges of
abusing his family and using vile and
profane language. Gautz was sentenced
to thirty days In the county jail. Ho
was held In $"00 ball on the charge of
non-support.
George Hohaman, a machine agent,
was arrested yesterday on the charge
of larceny, preferred by John Yops, of
Throop. It Is alleged that the defend
ant entered the saloon of Yops nnd
asked to have a $10 bill changed, which
request was granted, but Yops charges
Hohaman with taking the bill and the
change.
The evidence adduced at the hearing,
however, was so flimsy that the de
fendant was discharged.
MR. AND MRS. EPP ENTERTAIN.
'Mr. and Mrs. Emll Epp entertained a
party of intimate friends at their home
on River street last night In honor of
their guests, the Misses Gretchen and
Margaret Epp and Henry Epp, of New
York cltr.
A programme of pleasing entertain
ment was given and thoroughly en
joyed by the guests. Music, dancing

pated In a concert given by the Con
cordia society of that city. The sing
ing of our home society was the hit of
the evening.

larly trup of the poor classes, says the
New York Times. The Russian work-,
ingman uses the so-called "brick" tea.
which Is the cheapest sort, being
mixed with the stems and compressed
by some adhesive gum Into dry cakes
of various sizes, resembling In Its ap
pearance plug tobacco. This tea,
which would prove poisonous to any
one else, Is consumed by the Russian
worklngman at the average rate of
about twentv stakans lor tumblers) a
day, the Russian "stakans" being quite
equal to about live of the little thim
bles of cups used In the Enlted States
at "afternoon" teas.
In fact, a Russian Is not satisfied un
til "sedmol pot proshibyot," or "tho
seventh perspiration breuks out," hc
cordlng to the popular saying. If It
be tuken Into consideration that black,
sour, or bitter brlck-llko bread, raw
onions, garlic dried, brick-like tlsli and
strongly salted herrings are usually
the chief articles of food .of the people
at large one must not wonder ut the
enormous quantity of hot tea needed
to quench a Russian's thirst and help
on his ingestion. This excessive tea
drinking not only ruins the digestion
In time, but by the "tea Intoxication"
which it brings on Is rapidly producing
a physical and moral degeneration of
the Russian masses.
While tho lea which ts lii'bltually
taken by the poor moujlk is a vile con
coction, tho leverage as prepared for
the leisure classes Is superior to Eng
II Mn or French tea. The Russian meth
od of preparing it goes a long way to
contribute to the line taste of the bev
erage. In this process the famous
"samovar" plays tho principal part.
The ' samovar" Is the utensil (made of
copper or brass) used only for boiling
the water, in the middle there Is a
kind of chimney or fire leceptuele,
iiround which fresh cold water Is
poured into the "samovar."
miming charcoal or wood is thrown
Into the chimney, and It itsit.il! tnkes
about a quarter of an hour before tho
water begins to boll, this being an
nounced by a volume of s'eam from
under the cover. Then the boiling wa
ter Is pouied upon the tea In the pot,
and the latter placed on the top of
the "suniovar" to keep It warm, as
tea cosies are unknown In Rusla.
The Infusion Is made strong, hut

glass it lllled with it, tho rest being

THE STARS AND BARS.
Some Diverting History of the Flag
of the Southern Confederacy.
From the Ohio Valley Manufacturer
The flag of the Confederacy, or,
rather the tlags of the Confederal y,
had some curious bits of lilstoiy at
tached to their brief existence. On
March 5. 1861. the Provisional Confed
erate congress recommended that "the
flag of the Confederate States of
America s.hail consist of a red field,
with a white space extending horizon
tally through the center and equal In
width to one-third the width of the
tlag; the red spaces above and below
to be of the sumo width as the white;
the union, blue, extending down
through the white spaces and stopping
at the lower red space; In the center
of the uu'on a circle of white stars
corresponding In number with tho
states of the Confederacy." It was
first displayed In public March 4. IS01,
the day of the Inauguration of Lin
coln and was unfurled over the stuto
house at Montgomery, Ala.
On the battle-field the flag bore such
a similarity to the I'nlou tlag that In
September, 1SC1, for the Army of tha
Potomac. Generals Beauregard and
Johnston created what afterward he
came known as the battle Hag-a red
ground with a blue diagonal cross em
blazoned with white stars, one for each
stutc. This form was adopted by all
the troops eatt of the Mississippi river.
The Hrst design, bearing the objection
of resemblance to the Stars und Stripes
and the battle Hag having no reverse,
the Confederate senate In April, 1S63,
adopted u white flag, with a broad,
blue bar In Its center, which was
amended by Inserting the buttle tlag
design as the union, with a plain
white ground for the field. This ar
rangement afterward proved faulty,
as nt a distance tho large white field
resembled a flag of truce, and also as
combined with the union, was similar
to the English white ensign.
On Feb. 4, 1SG3, the Confederate sen
ute adopted a third change: "The
width, two-thirds of Its length: with
the union, now used as n battle flng,
to be In width three-fifths of the
width of the flag, and so proportioned
us to leave the length of the Held on
the side of the union twice the width
below It: to have a ground of red. and
broad blue saltier thereon, bordered
with white and emblazoned with mul
lets or live-pointed stars corresponding
In number to that of the Confederate
states; the Held to be white, except
the outer half from the union, which
shall be a red bar, extending the width
of the Hag."
