Monument, which shall stand before fu-
ture generations in lofty grandeur, a
constant reminder of the brave deeds
and virtues of the men fought for home
and liberty on yOnder hill, and of the
momentous victory which they won.
Moved by patriotic principle and pro-
found sympathy for others, as well as by
desire for self-protection, New Hamp-
shire men advanced beyond their from
tier with no government control but
their own, and assisted in repelling in
vaders in the two great Revolutionary
battles in New England. They chose
not to defer action till forced to meet the
shock of battle and to defend themselves
from the ravages of war at home. When
tidings of hostilities at Lexington and
Concord reached New Hampshire, a
large number of her patriots, selling
such arms as they possessed, rushed for
the front They marched without orders
and without invitation. Almost 20OO
had reached the vicinity of Boston with
in the first three days. Two regiments
were soon organized from these men.
John Stark was unanimously chosen, by
hand vote, Colonel of the first, and
James Read became Colonel of the
second. Nothing connected with the
battle of Bunker Hill appears from true
historic record to be more definite, de-
cisive and important than the part en-
acted in that unique conflict by these
New Hampshire regiments, led, with
entire independence of superior orders,
by Stark as senior officer.
During the first year of the war of the
Revolution the Colonial armies were
mainly successful. But defeat, dissen-
sion, disease and disaster so modified
their operations in the second year that
little was gained to cheer the hearts of
the friends of liberty and independence.
The people, too, began to feel more
keenlys the effects of the war-draft on
their resources. The daring, brilliant
and victorious attack ON the Hessians at
Trenton, where Colonel Stark led the
right wing of the advanced guard by the
command of Washington, and the short,
sharp and triumphant fight with the
British at Princeton, served for time
to revive the waning zeal of the people,
and to restore confidence in the army.
The continued depressing outlook
which confronted the colonists in the
summer of 1777 was greatly augmented
by the near approach of General Bur
goyne in his advance from Montreal to
Albany in pursuance of the plan of
separating New England from other
colonies by military methods. The
abandonment of our largest fortress,
Ticonderoga, July 9th, and the
battle of Hubbardton on the fol-
lowing day, the quality of the
invading army, made up of British
and Hessians, veterans, Canadians,
tories and American savages, the men
acing proclamations of General Bur-
gOyne, and the wild rumors of Indian
atrocities, notably the massacre of Jane
MacCrea, spread CONSERVATION among
the inhabitants of New York, Vermont
and western Massachusetts. The Coun-
Gil of Safety of the new state of Yer
mont sent supplicatory letters to Mas
sachusetts and also to New Hampshire.
The latter reached their destination just
after the legislature had apjourned. 1t
was, however, called together by the
Committee of Safety, and favorably con-

your communities, has made them safe

These migrations between the states has
been to your loss, but there is now
turning back to these states of New
England and to some of its unused
farms, which 1 believe is to cont nue and
increase. The migration which you have
sent into the South to develop tits indus
tries, to open its mines, to set up fac
tories and furnaces, is doing marvellous
work in unifying our people. AS l
journeyed recently across the continent
this oneness of our people was strongly
impressed upon me. l think these cen
tennial occurrences which have crowded
upon one another from Concord to the
centennial of the adoption of the consti-
tuition and the organization of the
Supreme Court have turned the thoughts
of our people to the most inspiring incl
dents in our history, our love of the flag
and of the constitution. do not believe
there has been time in our history
when there has been a deeper, fOnder
love for the unity of the states, for the
flag that emblematizes this unity and for
the constitution which cements it. 1

as any oiher dollar that issues. The

tons. This may say without crossing

president of the day and have been be-
trayed b. your friendliness into speaking
two or three words. May /, in closing,
tender to these good women of Vermont
my thanls for the grace and sweetness
which their services and their presence
have len to this happy occasion. May
say to item that the devoted services of
their mothers, the courage and patience
and helpulness shown by the women in
the grea struggle for liberty, cannot be
too highly appreciated. 1t was an easier
fate to march with barred breasts against
the HeSian ramparts at Bennington
than to sit in the lonely homestead,
awaiting the issue with fearful eyes up
turned to God for those who periled
their lives for the cause. All honor to
the NewEngland mother, the queen of
the NewEngland home. There, in those
nurserie of virtue and truth, have been
found tie strongest influences that have
moulded your people for good and led
your sOIs to honor.

sidered the entreaty from Vermont that
troops be sent to their assistance. But
New Hampshire was destitute of money
and means, having reached the limit of
its resources, as it was supposed, in fur
nishing troops. John Langdon, the
patriotic merchant, then pledged much
of his private fortune to replenish the
empty treasury of the state, and the leg
islature voted at once to raise and for
ward brigade for the defence of this
and the neighboring states, and ap-
pointed Colonel John Stark Brighter
General to command it. Colonel Stark
was at his home at this time, his sense
of honor having compelled him to resign
his commission when junior officer
was promoted over him to the rank of
brigadier general, by Congress with the
idea that he was self-willed. He ac-
cepted the commission With conditions
that he should exercise his own judg-
ment in commanding his troops and be
accountable to, and take orders from,
the authorities of New Hampshire and
no other. He was very soon sending
forward from Charlestown the men who
fastened to his standard, to Colonel Seth
Warner, commanding the troops of the
new state at Manchester, where he in a
short time joined them. Here General
Lincoln came with an order from Cen
eral SCHUYLER 70 conduct the militia to
Saltwater. General Stark, having ex-
plained b General Lincoln the relations
of himself and his command, determined
that the order should not be executed.
For this action Congress censured him.
Being informed of the intention of the
enemy to capture the stores at Benning-
ton, Stark accompanied by Colonel
Warner. marched his forces to that
town, having made arrangements for de-
tachments to Join him there. On August
14th, the approach of the enemy was
learned from Lieut.. Colonel Gregg of
New Hampshire, who was detached with
200 men to discover him. General Stark
Immediately marched forth five miles
and boldly offered battle. which was
evaded by the unknown foe. Abundant
rain prevented movements of the armies
on the 18th, but troops arrived from
Massachusetts,, and the British forces
spent the day in intTenching.
On the memorable and beautiful day,
August 10, General Stark, having made
careful preparations and skillful DISPOSE
ton of his troops, in open field, with few
bayonets and no cannon, attacked and
killed or captured or put to fight, in two
engagements, some of the best veteran
troops of Great Britain and Germany,
thoroughly equipped and protected by
cannon and breastworks. They achieved
victory of unsurpassed brilliancy,
which by its immediate and remote re-
suits, holds high place among the most
important events in the annals of our
country.
Although Congress had sighted and
censured General Stark within six
months they made him a brigadier-
general in the army of the United States,
and presented their thanks to him and
the officers and troops under his COM
mand. Congress was compelled to do
this to keep up in the procession of the
applauding people.

for firing and moment later the loud re-
ports were heard through the valley.
The four guns were reloaded as fast as
Major Cushing gave the orders. The
last gun was fired at 11.55 o'clock. At
noon the gun wheels and the caissons
resumed position in the rear. During
the firing Col. Fuller's battery was sta
toned further down the hill. Before the
president and other distinguished guests
reached the monument the artillery had
disappeared, moving across the field.
Both companies were then ordered back
to camp at the Soldiers Home.
AT THE GRAND STAND.
The scene at the speakers grand stand
was one long to be remembered by the
spectator who from this vantage ground
could look upon the long column of
troops and civic organizations as they
filed up the hill and took position on
the grounds surrounding the monument.
The CLEAN of well kept armor, the gilt
ter of bayonet steel and the bright
tints of the uniforms, combined with
an abundance of excellent and stirring
music by the bands, made a picture
worth looking at.
Seated on the stand were the presi-
Dental party, the speakers, distinguish
ed guests of the state and member of
numerous visiting organizations.
As President Harrison approached the
stand, escorted by Gov. Page, he was
the recipient of a cordial greeting, and
this distinction was likewise accorded
Orator Phelps, Senators Edmunds, and
MOrrills and others.
The decorations of the Speakers stand
were elaborate, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing summary, which appeared in a
recent issue of the BANNER:
The President and Cabinet are
to attend, and the decorator has
conceived the idea of decorating
the speakers platform, which is also to
be occupied by the distinguished guests,
with a collection of all the flags which
have ever been the official emblem of this
country. The collection will include %
flags of the pre-Tevolutionary and revO-
lutiOnary period, preceding the adoption
of the stars and stripes, or the period
from 1884 to 1777. From the rear will
float the ancient national flag of England,
ST. Georges cross, a beautiful white flag
with large red cross. Next in order
will be st. Andrews cross, blue flag
with diagonal white cross, which from
the time of the Crusaders was for long
time the flag of the Scots. Other flags,
in regular order, will be the King S
cross or the union flag, being the union
in the canton of st. Andrews and st.
Georges crosses, on a red field; the
Long Parliament flag used from 164S
to 1919, blue flag with St. Georges cross
next to the staff, with canton and the
yellow Irish harp on blue field; the flag
of New England, under Sir Edmund An
drOs, which was presented to him by the
king in 1856, which comprises the st.
Georges cross on white field, the cen
ter of the cross emblazoned with gilt
crown, over the cipher of the sovereign,
King James 1; the colors of Captain

Suspended to this is a circular medal
1 10 inches in diameter, bearing the i'm
preston of the monument with the
dates "1i77-1891," and the.words "dedi-
cation Bennington battle monument"
The reverse side bears the words "cen-
tennial celebration of the admission of
Vermont as State 1791-1S91" with the
State cost of arms. The whole makes a
badge 3 l-2 by 1-2 inch in size and is
handsome thing. President Harrison
was evidently effected by this little in
cident, and said briefly: "This memo
rial was not needful to preserve in my
heart grateful memories of this hour"
Gov. Russell of Massachusetts was
then introduced and greeted with a
round Of applause. He said: ~

Last evening one-armed man and q
one.Iegged man passed over the Main
street bridge and steppedinto the black
smith shop moment. Shortly after
they left, Lee Cunning, one OF the en-
rinecrs, found that acoat, vest and over
all blouse he had hung there were miss
ing and at once suspected the two
MANNED tramps. The police were tele-
phOned ior, and Officers Lukins and
Watson went down and arrested them.
The onc.armed man was asleep on the
railroad track below thecreek, and the
onc.Icggcd was u little further down.
The latter had thGvest and blouse. The
former was searched for the coat, but
did not seem to have it. Watson went
back to where they had found the man
10 see ii he had dropped it, At length
he was made to unbutton his own coat,
and the stolen one was found under it.
With them was found a young colored
man, and he was also locked up on gen.
eral principles.
The one armed man gave his name Us
Peter Foley, and the one.lcgged man as
Eiwarl Dillon. They were lodged in
the lookup Tor the night and this nom
lng will be taken before Squire Davis.
There is reason to suspect that Foley is
