Mrs. Hunter had a picture of the original flag, which shows it to have been an unusually large garrison flag, about 30 feet by 40. It has 15 stripes, as nil the national flags had at that time, one stripe for each state. The stars are well pointed, being 15 In number, except that one has been shot, away by a shell. Aside from this rent and another at one corner, also made by a shell, the flag Is in excellent condition. Mrs. Hunter differs with her sister, j i i ' Mrs. George Haker, of 6 Wegtervelt avenue. New Brighton, Staten island, somewhat as to details in the history of the flag. Home surprise has been expressed at different times that the flag is not now and has not always been in the possession of the national government. Mrs. Haxer explained this by saying that the flag was presented to Col. Arntistead by the government after the fight. Mis. Hunter says that the flag was the private property of Col.

After his defense of the fort on Sept. 12, 1814, he was made a colonel. 'There was never any doubt but that the flag belonged to him. My mother was born in the fort some time before the death of the colonel, which occurred on April 25, 1818. She was named for him, Georgians. Her marriage to William Stuart Appleton of the Boston family has already been told. "1 remember playing under the flag as a girl. Its history since the fight is one mainly of the occasions when it was exhibited. The last of these was at the sesquicentennial celebration of the city of Baltimore in 1880. "It was also exhlbitel at the Centen nial exposition at Philadelphia in 1876 and I think at some celebration connected with the Old South Church in about 1875, under the auspices ol Commodore Preble, lint I forget the raising of the flag at Fort McHenry In 1825 In honor of the visit of Gen Lafayette.

Stern Laws of Business Come First, Says Austrian Court. Vegetar an Springs An Interesting case at law, which centered on the observance of an old Jewish custom, was decided in Vienna recently. A merchant, says the American Israelite, discharged a clerk on account of neglect of duty. Among the charges against him was that he came to the store late in the morning because he attended service at the synagogue in order to say Kaddish the prayer for the dead for bis father. The clerk argued, that it was his privilege and his duty to say the prayer for his departed father, while the merchant, who was also a religious man, maintained that "if Moses had known that a man had to pay 8,000 gulden a year rent he would have made different laws." The judge would not allow sue an argument, but decided in favor of the merchant, "because the dally attendance at the synagogue could not be considered the right of the clerk without the consent of the employer."
