UNCLE SAM'S ARRAY OF FLAGS. DATING FROM 1777. DURING THE REVOLUTION. TO NORTH POLE DISCOVERY IN 1909. Though as yet the baby of nations. Uncle Sam has many Hags of which she has reason to be proud. Most * * * - nf fVio 01 tnom are 111 me puaacaaiuu vi vuv government, but a few are owned by individuals or army posts. One of them, now kept at the statehouse at Annapolis, Md, was carried by the Maryland troops during the war of the American Involution, and is made in accordance with the act of Congress, June 14, 1777. It is positively known to have been the regimental flag of the Third Maryland regiment, commanded by Col John Eager Howard, at the battle of Cowpens, in January, 1778, in which fight it was held by William Bachelor. Bachelor was sent home to Baltimore wounded kio floor with him. auu ivui\ mo i?wD After Bachelar's death in March, I 1781, the flag remained in his fam-| ily, and when the British invaded j Maryland in 1814 this same flag was carried by William, Bachelor's son, in the battle of North Point, as a banner for the twenty-seventh Maryland Regiment. This William Bachelor died in 1885. The flag, in 1907, wa$ presented to the State of Maryland and has since then reposed in its capital building at Annapolis. Another famous banner is the battle flag of Commandant Oliver Hazard Perry, the same which flew successively on the mast of his flagships, the Niagara and the Lawrence, in the battle of Lake Erie, September, 1813. This flag had been made at Perry's express command, but at the suggestion of Purser Hambleton, he added the words it bore, "Don't gi\e up the ship," the last uttered by Captain Lawrence, killed in the fight in June, 1813, between English and American forces. These words have erroneously been attributed to Perry, but are. in fact, an adoption of Lawrence's sentence to Perry's flag:. The banner is a bunting of one solid color bearing its famous motto in large letters across its face, and is now kept at the United States Naval academy at Annapolis. In the same chamber at the academy is a georgeous royal British standard which was captured from the parliament house when the capital of Canada fell, in 1813, into American hands. It is a magnificent ensign with five quarterings, all in thp Hprnldic blazonry I auiaiii vnv ??? w being such as was used in the time of Gtorge III. In one corner is a red lion poised in air, to denote Scotland; in another is the golden harp of Ireland; two other quarters contain three rampant lions for England, while in the central quartering is a combination of the arms of Saxony, Hanover, Brunswick and Lune* *1 f Ua burg, wun some tuiuicina v/1 me Holy Roman empire. In the National museum in Washington is the real Star Spangled Banner, the same flag which floated over Fort McHenry in September, 1814, when it was attacked by the British, and the one around which Key wrote his immortal poem. Being 36 by 26 feet, it will hang from the secondlstory of a building to the first floor. In spite of time it is well preserved, and the stars and stripes which 'gleamed through the perilous fight" are still plainly to , to be seen. Mexican trophies are to be seen at the Naval academy. These flag9 are all unique in design, bearing: the Mexican condor standing: on a cactus, with a snake in its mouth. There are several of this war, one of them being the flag captured by Gten Winfield Scott and Commodore Matthew Perry at the fall of Vera Cruz in 1847. In the antechamber to the rooms of the secretary of war, in Washington, is the famous flag which flew over Fort Sumter in April, 1861, when it was fired on by the Confederate batteries. This was the shot which opened the great war between the States. The flag of the Maine, the ship whose sinking precipitated the Spadish-American war in 1898, is ifMlf fe i ^" 99 25. 8 m ? s ' si mmm mm m SI Stuff II EKmvllhii (| $35U 1 11 F. O. B.

The banner which floated over tne i North pole, raised there April 6, 1909, by Commander Robert E Peary, now lies for safekeeping in the vaults of safe deposit company in Washington. It was made by Mrs Peary, the stars being worked in silk embroidery. A division of the museum's flag collection relates to the Civil war, * a* u and tne most mieresung 01 inese is the garrison flag of Fort Moultrie, in Charleston harbor. This flag waa lowered December 26, 1860, when Maj Robert Anderson, First United States artillery, moved his forces to Fort Sumter. The flag was secured by his second in command, Capt Abner Doubleday, and remained in his possession until presented to the Smithsonian institution at Washi ington. In the National museum also is the United States flag raised in New Orleans by the volunteer flag committee after the occupation in 1862. This was the first Federal flag raised by citizens of any of the Confederate States after the commencement of hostilities. Here, two, is the flag of the United States ship Kearsarge, in use at the time of the sinking of the Confederate cruiser Alabama, also the first United States flag raised in Richmond after the surrender. This was used as headquarters flag by Gen E 0 C Ord, USA, when he took possession of the city. /\# An. rr>or iri til gnnin J.
