Front and Verbeke streets, for nearly half a century, and Is now an unclaimed flag. If you call around 1 will place it in your hands, with the promise that you will use your best efforts to place it where it belongs. In ! due time she placed the old unclaimed ' relic in my hands. I carried it to my f house and I was not ashamed to be I seen carrying that old battlefiag along j our thorough fa res. My efforts to iden- j tify the flag were all in vain and I t gave up the search. I then thought it j was my duty to try and have it placed { among the archives of our old Key stone State. 1 then called upon Gen- j cral Thomas J. Stewart who listened I very attentively to my story and then j asked me to put this in writing and bring it and the flag to him. I did as directed and a few days later I de livered the flag to him in person. He then examined it very closely and ! found no marks of any kind. Almost a half century ago an aged lady called j upon Mrs. Seneca I. Simmons at her!

TIGERS WINNER IN CLOSE RACE Princeton, N. J., April 21.—1n the closest and most spectacular finish ever seen on Lake Carnegie, tlie Princeton first 'Varsity crew upset all calcula tions and defeated Harvard here yes terday by a margin of less tlian a foot. The Tigers jumped into the lead at the start and, rowing true to form all the .'way, maintained their positions until j tlie finish line was passed. The times j were given out as follows: Princeton, | 9 minutes 12*,4 seconds; Harvard, 9 ] minutes 13 seconds. As was expected, ! the Crimson junior shell crossed the finish line an easy winner, winning by a margin of two and a quarter lengths. Their marks were: Harvard, 9 minutes 46 seconds; Princeton, 9 minutes 55 seconds. Coach .T. Duncan Spaeth, of the vic torious Tiger crew, fairly beamed witli joy at the end of the struggle. When the shfell crossed the finish line none of the spectators could tell who won. When Professor Noyes shouted out something, however, and Dr. Spaeth raised his hat and swung it three times around his head, the Princeton contin : gent knew for the first time their crew was victorious. The oarsmen in both boats seemed exhausted and flopped down over their oars. GOOD FRIDAY WIDELY OBSERVED IN CHURCHES J Good Friday was widely observed [in the city to-day. and a number of | special services have been arranged | for the city churches to be held this j evening. | All of the banks here were closed hut the post office remained open ow ing to the big rush of Easter mail ex pected.

Preparatory services will be held j to-night in a number of churches, with | appropriate sermons for the occasion. residence and stated that she had a battlefiag and that it was carried by her son all through the war and that she was in destitute circumstances and would sell the flag as a war relic. Mrs. Simmons then bought the flag, took the name of the old lady and her son. the name and number of his regiment and his company and full particulars. This record was lost and thus this became an unknown and un claimed flag. In conclusion, 1 would say to you that Colonel Seneca G. Simmons was the hero of two wars, in the early forties he was graduated from West Point Military Academy as a lieutenant and was sent out on coast survey duty. Afterwards he served in the Mexican and Civil Wars. Bender Makes Good He Won His First Game For the Phillies Cohen's Sporting Goods Department Is Also Making / L_—— Good.
