THE SUNNY SOUTH.
REGIMENTAL COLORS. CUBA’S BIG LOTTERY.
EMBLEMS WHICH WILL IN
SPIRE FUTURE MILITIA.
Flags Which the Volunteers Have
Carried to Victory Will Be
Highly Prised as Trophies of
the War.
When the war is over, no trophies will
bo more highly prized than the regimental
colors which the volunteer troops carried
to victory and under which they fought so
gallantly. The more tattered and shot
ridden they are the more they will be rev
erenced. They will be put av. ay carefully
In glass cases to be exhibited for years to
come in the armories where the successors
of the men who fought in 18SS will gather
to drill und preservo the regimental organ
ization.
Perhaps you can imagine with what de
votion the boys who will compose the Sev
enty-first New York militia regiment of a
dozen years hence will regard the frayed
and weather beaten strips of silk which
represent the colors carried by tho regi
ment when the bloody hoights of San .Tuan
were stormed and taken nr tho patriotic
emotions with which flic Pennsylvania
national guardsmen will look upon tho
relics of the flag which troops from that
statu fought under in the far Philippines.
Every shred and over} - spot will recall a
tradition, a story of heroism.
As you probably know, each regiment
in both the regular and volunteer armies
carries two emblems. One is the stars and
stripes and the other its own particular
flag.
The national color of the United States
army is of silk, with yellow silk fringe, is
4 feet 4 inches high and 5 feet 6 inches
wide and is made with a rasing through
which passes the staff, tho color being held
firmly by a leather strap at the top and
bottom of the casing. Tho spearhead is a
heart shaped figure of excellent design
and under tho present regulations nickel
plated.
The colors of tho infantry regiments
have tassels attached to them of blue and
white silk. The cavalry regiments now
carry no tassels; tho artillery regiments
carry red and yellow tassels.
The stars on our modern colors are em
broidered with almost mathematical ac
curacy, the result of this kind of work be
ing that the stars are the straw on both
sides of the blue, and because of the relief
which the embroidery gives them they i
stand out much more distinctly than the ;
ordinary stars of linen or other material.
On tho middle red stripe is embroidered
the name of the regiment, which of course j
reads correctly on only one side, the strip* !
being of a single thickness of material.
Tho regimental colors of tho United j
States infantry regiments aro of blue silk,
showing the eagle bearing on bis breast a
shield with the arms of tho United States.
The eaglo carries in one talon a branch of
laurel with red berries und in the other a

bunch of arrows. Over the eagle’s head is
an arc of sun rays semicircular in shape,
between which and the head of the eaglo
are 13 stars. In tho eagle's mouth is a scroll
with the words, “E Pluribus Unum."
Underneath tho eaglo is n scroll on which
the regimental name is embroidered.
The general design of this color is good,
but the execution of tho eaglo is very poor.
The bird's head and wings are badly
drawn, the wings especially not being in
any respect those of an eaglo. With a few
corrections, which could easily be made,
tho eagle could lx' so improved as to pre
sent rbally a strong, as well as artistic ap
pearance.
Again, tbo scroll which is under the
eagle, upon which the regimental name is
placed, is out of all proportion in size to
the eaglo and is very ugly ill design.
It is a pity that the government does
not allow some person wl.o knows what a
bird looks like and has some idea of artis
tic beauty to remodel this flag, which
would compare well with most of the army
colors of European regiments.
The cavalry colors are like the infantry
colors, but considerably smaller, tho regi
mental flag being yellow and very hand
some, but with the same defects in design
as the infantry flag.
The artillery national color is like the
Infantry color; the regimental color is red
with two crossed yellow cannon. Of this
end of tho flag of the engineer battalion,
which is also red. but with a white castle
upon it, the less said the 1 n't Tor. It would
he difficult to imagine two uglier flags.
Incidentally it may be said that the re
cently published president's flag is about
on a par with these two. although perhaps
somewhat, uglier. It has a big star on a
red ground.
The state regimental colors are usually
of blue silk, although some states have
white and some have red flags, with the
coat of arms of the state embroidered or
painted upon them. Some of them are
very rich, and, like those of the Connecti
cut militia, for example, very handsome
in design and execution.

Colossal Swindle Conducted Under
Royal Patronage, and Supported
By Hungry Cubans, Who Need
Wholesome American Laws.
When the United States troops finally
get into Havana and President McKinley
appoints a military governor to clean
things up and straighten out the tangled
affairs of the long besieged city, one of the
first Spanish institutions to be wiped cut
will probably be the Royal lottery of
Cuba. If it isn’t, it ought to be. The
Cubans have enough ills without having
this insidious evil perpetuated.
Should the government of tho island bo
handed over to the Cubans themselves it
is entirely likely that the Royal lottery
would be permitted to continue its career
unmolested. For This reason it would bo
well for them to experience tho results of
six months' existence under good, whole
some American laws. Uncle Sam has had
about all the experience with lotteries that
ho wants. He knows they aro institutions
which do not benefit the people. But the
Cubans aro not so wise, for, although the
loti cry. like every other profitable concern,
has been run by Spaniards, they continue
to patronize and support it.
The Royal lottery of Cuba is conducted
on much the same principles as tho na
tional lotteries of Italy and Germany.
Probably there is no actual trickery. It is
unnecessary. The poor Cubans are so
willing to bo swindled by this particular
form of gambling that they continue to
buy lottery tickets although they know
that the (Kids aro heavy against them.
All through the war tho Royal lottery
has continued to hold its drawings undis
turbed and at last accounts was still at
it. Tho tickets are. sold everywhere and
by every ragamuffin who can get a lottery
broker to trust him with a ticket to sell
on commission. While you sit in a cafe
you are offered 20 tickets by 20 different
peddlers in as many minutes. Tho tickets
used to cost $10 cash in Spanish silver
coin. Since the war they have sold for $10
in paper. The numbers aro divided into
tenths. You can buy one-tenth, several
tenths or the whole number. Hence when
tho big premium is $50,000 and you hold
n one-tenth ticket you win $5,000—per
haps.
On the day of tho drawing tho doors are
thrown open promptly at 7 a. m., and tho
crowd rushes in. Any one is admitted, so
the audience is not select. Tho perform
ance begins with the arrival of the gray
haired president and all tho gray haired
vice presidents. Tho intendente general
de hacienda sits in a big chair in the
center of tho platform and looks honest.
He also is gray haired. Men with hoary
heads are always chosen for these jobs.
They tiring an air of respectability to the
show and inspire tho populace with confi
dence. They sit in a semicircle, with a
very fine portrait of the boy king of Spain
behind them and a very large assortment
of customers in front of them.
On the left is a box containing 13 men,
all gray haired. This is the jury hired by
tho Royal lottery to settle disputes as to
numbers or premiums. Each juryman has
a sinecure. There never has been a dis
pute. Tho thousand in front have too
much reverence for gray hair to riso up
and dispute anything.
, At the front of tho stage, where tho
footlights would l)o if the place were a
theater, sit two little boys, orphans from
the orphan asylum. They have been
brought in to draw tho numbers. Little
boys aro as respectable and their youth
inspires just as much confidence as gray
hairs. The populace cannot possibly sus
pect little boys any more than gray hairs
of cheating. And of course the Royal lot
tery itself has nothing whatever to do
with the drawing. There are the numbers
in a brass cage, and there are the cherub
boys. A cherub draws a number out of
tho brass cage, and that settles the busi
ness. You win or you lose, and the
Royal lottery is so sorry if you loso that it
at once issues another lot of tickets so you
can win next time.
The drawing begins. To show the pop
ulace how fairly and squarely a gambling
business can ho conducted the huge brass
globes containing the numbers aro turned
round and round by two of tho gray haired
vice presidents. This shuffles the numbers
so that no favoritism can possibly bo
shown to any particular number. Tho
numbers are printed on beads about tho
size of a marblo. The brass globe turns
round. A bead falls out. fine of the
cherubs screeches the number. On tho
other side of the stage another brass globe
turns round. A bead falls out, The at
tending cherub shrieks the amount of the
premium that is to lx- paid to the holder
of the number which his fellow cherub has
just announced.
On one of the sidewalls is a hugo black
board. Each number as it is drawn is
chalked on this board. The chalking is
done by a pupil from one of the Spanish
schools. It looks well to have tho numbers
thus publicly chalked up. It shows the
populace how openly the whole affair is
conducted, and how thoroughly disinter
ested the Royal lottery really is. Thus the
drawinggoes on till the big prize. $50,000,
Is drawn. That is the signal for a move-
^ment among the thousand—that is, they
rise as one man, and filter out of tho
building.
There are 500 premiums of $100 each
still to be drawn. But the thousand want
the big premium or nothing. What is a
paltry $100 to the negroes and beggars and
reconeentrados after they had looked for
ward for ten days to winning $50,000?
Of course somebody wins. The few
prizes distributed, however, are by no
means proportionate to the big sums real
ized by the sale of tickets. Yet a ragged
Cuban will starvo himself and his family
to buy a chance. Franklin Price.

The New York coat of arms with its sup
porters, two women clothed in variegated
colors, does not lend itself well as an orna
ment to a flag, and the arms themselves
without the supporters would look better.
Our new regimental state colors are, ac
cording to regulation, to be buff, but iu
this war our state regiments carry the
United States regimental flag, not the
state.
It is hardly necessary to say that these
colors are guarded with tender care both
In and out of battle. In a charge they aro
always carried well up in the van of the
firing lines, and when the regiment takes

DUELS
Stories of the Pluck of Our Naval Officers—Decatur
and Bainbridge and How They Punished the
Insolent British Officers.
On a certain nig*ht in the month of Feb
ruary, 1S03, while the Chesapeake, the
New York, the John Adams and the En
terprise were lying at Malta, a number of
the officers went ashore tospend the even
ing. Eventually they gathered at the the
atre. While'h number of them stood in
the lobby tht; . .he secretary Jthe
governor came in with somo friends, tie
was of mature years and a noted duelist
of that day—had killed a number of men,
in fact, and his mission in the theatre was
to get a fight with one of the Yankee of
ficers. He had openly boasted, it is said,
that he would “have a Yankee for break
fast” the next day.
Looking over the group he selected one
of t'he youngest. Midshipman Joseph Bain
bridge. for his victim, and on walking
past the group jostled him. As it happen
ed Bainbridge was at that moment speak-,
ing to a shipmate and was taken wholly
by surprise. Having no idea that any one
would willingly seek a deadly quarrel, his
first impression was that the jostling was
accidental. Nevertheless, when the sec
retary walked away with a jaunty air.
Bainbridge suspected that an insult had
been intended, and he was just speaking
to his shipmates about it when Lieutenant
Stephen Decatur happened along. Deca
tur had had experience in such matters,
and Bainbridge at once stated the case
to him.
“We’ll very soon learn whether it was
an accident or an insult.” said Decatur,
and he was turning away to go in. search
of the offender when the fellow came past
the group from behind Decatur. As he
arrived beside young Bainbridge. the du
elist said, in a voice that all could hear:
“Those Yankees will never stand the
smell cf gunpowder.” Then he jostled the
youngster again and started on. but be
fore he could take a second step he receiv
ed a blow from the Yankee's fist that
knocked him sprawling.
Of course t’he duelist challenged as soon
as he could get on his feet. Decatur
smiled and bowed. Turning to Bainbridge,
who was, it should be remembered, a boy
of perhaps 16, Decatur said:
“Go aboard ship. sir. and give yourself
no more concern about this matter. I will
attend to everything.”
As soon as Bainbridge left the theatre,
Decatur went aside with the English
men to arrange for the inevitable duel.
As the challenged party the Americans
had the right to make the terms. Said
Decatur when the others were ready to
hear him:
“We will go to the beach at sunrise to
morrow morning. There we will place our
men back to ba'ck. and at the word
’March!* they shall each march two steps
and then Whirl and fire. There shall be
only the one word.”
“My God, man!” said the English sec
ond. -“that is clear murder.”
“Pardon me,” said Decatur, “your man
is an experienced duelist. He has picked
out for his victim one of our young offi
cers who has had no experience whatev
er. By the terms that I propose they will
be placed as nearly on an equal footing
as is possible. However, sir. if you do
not wish to fight in that way, I will take
the place of the midshipman and meet
your man oh the usual terms at ten
paces.”
And the Englishman chose to fi?ht the
boy on the terms named rather than face
the experienced Decatur.
So Decatur went on board ship, and tak
ing Midshipman Bainbridge cn deck, plac
ed him with a cocked but empty pistol
in hand, back to back with a shipmate,
and said “March!” Bainbridge marched
two steps, whirled on his heel in military
fashion, and snapped the empty pistol
at his shipmate. Again he was placed in
position, and again he marched and turn
ed and snapped the pistol. And from that |
time on he stood erect and marched ar.d j
turned, again and again, the whole night !
through: he- was drilled in his duty till j
he did it mechanically, as with the accu- ;
racy of a clock that strikes the hour.
And as the sun was tinging the morn- ■
ing sky he was placed back to back with !
the professional duelist. Both marched
at the word and both turned, but because
Bainbridge had been trained by Stephen
Decatur he turned more swiftly than the
enemy, and shot him dead.
Let the reader decide for himself wheth
er that was or was not a fight for the
honor of the American fiag.
An American lieutenant on going ashore
was publicly insulted by six British offi
cers, who were all challenged by the
American, and it was arranged that he
.should meet one each day at sunrise,
should he survive long enough, until he
had had satisfaction from them all. For
four mornings ’ the American lieutenant
rode away to the dueling ground, and
each day rode back again, leaving t’he
Englishmen to bring in the dead body of
their man. But on the next morning, as
he rode out with the fifth, theTe being no
one in the party but the principals, their
seconds and the surgeons, a mob of Brit
ish partisans, well armed and disguised as
highwaymen, came galloping toward
them. As it happened, the Englishman
was riding a thoroughbred animal and
the American lieutenant a worthless
scrub.
Seeing the mob coming the Englishman’s
face paled with anger.
“They are coming to kill you,” he said
to the American lieutenant. “You take
my horse and you can escape them, ar.d
we will settle this affair at another time.”
Convinced by both the English principal
and his second that the mob was really
bent on murder, the American accepted
the horse, and by hard riding did escape.
But after that he did not have the heart
to kill the one who had shown himself so
much of a man. The Englishman was
willing to apologize, and so was the re
maining one who had been challenged,
and the American, with nearly good will,
accepted their explanations.
Of a very different nature from a mor
alist’s point of view at the present time
were the duels the American naval offi
cers fought among themselves. The story
of the first—probably the only one—fought
by the lamented Somers, who lost his life
before Tripoli, will serve better than any
ether to show the spirit of the naval offi
cers of the day.
As related in the United States Nava!
Chronicle. Somers and Decatur, who were
intimate friends, were one day chafing
one another in the presence of some oth
er young officers, and in the course of the
remarks Decatur called Somers a fool.
Somers, of course, paid no attention to the.
epithet, for it was said in mere play. But
the other youngsters, five in number, took
the matter seriously, and the next day
refused to accept Somers’ invitation to
join him in a bottle of wine.
Somers, very greatly astonished, asked
why, and they explained frankly that they
thought he had failed to show a spirit
proper for a naval officer when he was
ca-Iled a fool.
Immediately Somers went to Decatur
and related the facts. Decatur said at j
once that he would give a dinner at which 1
he would explain the Whole matter and •
place Somes right before his fellow-offi
cers. but Somers said:
“They have allowed themselves to sus- |
pect my courage. I must convince them
that they are mistaken, and my only
course is to fight them all.”
Decatur acted as second for Somers, de- j
livered the five challenges, and it was ar
ranged that Somers should meet them in I
succession during one hour. So they gath
ered at a convenient place and Somers J
faced his first man. At the word both j
fired, and Somers missed, but got his i
right arm pierced with the bullet of his |
antagonist.
.At this Decatur wanted to take his i
place, but Somf-rs refused, and stood up !
and fired at the second man. using his j
wounded arm. Again he missed ar.d again ;
was struck, this time in the hip, the j
wound bleeding so profusely that Somers
was soon to weak to stand. Nevertheless j
he insisted on having the third man j
come on.
Then the third man took his stand Som- |
ers was unable either to stand erect or [
to hold out a pistol steadily. So Decatur ;
sat down.on Somers’ left side, put his arm ’
around Somers’ body until he could help
support the weight of Somers’ right arm,
and in this position t'he word was given, i
At this shot Somers managed to wound
his antagonist.
The whole five were by this time ?o j
much impressed by the pluck and per
sistence of the young fellow that they |
made ample apology for having misjudged
him.

logical conclusion and then Folding
fast to that conclusion. It was evident
that she had been thinking deeply over
what her guest had said. She had even
caught up his terminology, and the re
sult was that she stuck to her own
point more firmly than ever.
“We disagree as to the means,” she
would say. She no longer added, "And
will never agree upon that,” but now
Vladimir himself was inclined to think
so. To meet with such obstinacy where
he had expected an easy victory at first
irritated tho impatient young revolu
tionist and made him feel disappointed
in this girl who had produced on him
so strong and. sndden an impression.
But afterward he was forced to give
way, aud this still further increased her
fascination. Vladimir, nervous and im
pulsive, perceived in this yonug girl a
calm and steady strength of character
which he himself did not possess, and
his quickly fired enthusiasm awoke in
a Dew form. Their relative positions
underwent a great change. Now when
Katia sat with her visitor it was not
he, but she, who started political con
versations. He, indeed, avoided them.
What was the uso of arguing? Ho had
lost all hope of converting her. His self
assurance was quite gone, and he be
came depressed aud gloomy Sometimes
they would sit together without speak- |
ing a word.
“What is tho matter with you?” ask- j
ed Katia one day, observing the change
in him. “ Von are not well."
“No, I am quite well. Why?” he ask- !
ed in his turn.
“Why, you are so”—
“ ‘Ho’ what? Sulky?” suggested
Vladimir.
“M-m—yes, sulky.”
“1 don’t know I feel that way some
times,” he answered.
in St. Petersburg, and you will see
people who are very strong. But I am
strong only when what you would call
the Holy Spirit descends upon me, and
now it has left me. ”
Katia looked at him in surprise. His
whole mental condition was to her a
book written in hieroglyphics, and she
was not affected by things which she
could not understand. She decided that
her guest must he unwell and that he
had better go to bod early. Accordingly
she rose to go. But Vladimir’s face at
once expressed snch sincere and infan
tine distress that she sat down again. In
the hope of cheering him she began to
talk to him about all sorts of trifles.
He listened, sullenly enough.
She had now the most resemblance to
a calm and collected man and he to a
uervens and impressionable woman.
The next day—it was now the end of
the week—Katia intended to go into
the village after dinner and invited her
guest to accompany her. After her first
exaggerated fear for his safety she had
passed into the stage of exaggerated
confidence.
Vladimir, who realized the danger
better than she did, refused. But when
she had started he begau to feel 6u de
pressed and sorry that he had not gone
with her and was seized with so pas
sionate a longing to go after and catch
her up that he became quite confused
and upset.
“Surely I am not”— came into his
head.
He did not dare to finish tho sudden
thought, even to himself.
“Why, no! Nonsense!” he said, giv
ing himself a shake. “I’ve just got ac
customed—got into the way of being
with her. I : ve been dawdling about hero
tco long ”
He made up his mind to go the next
day.
After supper, instead of going to his
own quarters,as usual, ho spent the even
ing with tho lady of the house iu order
to say gcodby to her, but he went back
to his rooms without having said it
Katia was so sweet and her mother so
amiable that he decided to put off his
departure for another day.
“It’s really safer,” be thought, mak
ing excuses to himself. “The day after
tomorrow will be Sunday, aud there
will be fewer policemen about. ”
But it was long before he could get
to sleep that night, and he rose late
next morning.

“ Il'htzt are you making?" Vladimir
asked..
Their long discussions and the pecul
iar mental atmosphere in which they
had passed these days had made inti
mate friends of them.
Several minutes passed in silence
Katia moved the lamp nearer and care
fully examined the pattern traced on
her work.
“What are yea making?” Vladimir
asked.
“A present for nurse,” she answered,
and then went on in another tone, as
though thinking aloud, “I thought that

hesitated a moment for n word. “You
