THE CENTENNIAL COMMISSION.
Official State Committee and Auxiliary
Committee of Fifty.

Oh
This body of representative men of
Vermont, of whom we illustrate several,
will go down in history as having most
successfully managed one of the largest,
if not the very largest, celebrations in
the history of the State. The State COM
mittee were appointed by an act of the
Legislature, approved Nov. 25, 1890, Ito
invite in the name of the State of YER
mont, the National Government and the
States of New Hampshire and Massa-
chusetts, to unite with the State of Yer
mont in the dedication of the Benning-
ton kBattle Monument, and celebration
of the one hundredth anniversary of the
admission of Vermont as a state at Ben
nington" 1t was also provided that the
Vermont militia should encamp for the
week here. The Legislature named the
following committee:
His excellency Carroll S. Page, Cover
nor of Vermont; His Honor Henry A.
Fletcher Lieutenant Governor; Hon,
Hosea Mann, Jr., speaker of the House;
Hon. Henry F. Field, State Treasurer;
Hon. Chauncey w. Brownell, Jr., Secre-
taTy of State.
At the beginning of the preparation it
was determined that the State commits
sion should be assisted by local gentle
men. This was made necessary because
of the distance apart of the other gem
tlemen and their residence so far from
the scene of the proposed event. Ac-

A LARGE HAUL OF PICKPoCKErs

Watson, the photographer, was kept
busy Thursday forenoon working the
drop shutter on sixteen suspects who
were arrested early in the week. i'm,
mediately upon their arrival, by Inspec-
tor Seymour of the Pinkerton force, De-
tective Kavanagh of Rochester, Inspec-
tor Knox of Boston and Detective Ford
of Troy. Among the light-fngered gen.
try was the notorious "Shang" Camp
bell, safe burglar and pickpocket, who
is wanted in several places for crooked
work; Dan Hunt, bank sneak,
burglar and pickpocket, wanted at
Windsor, Conn, where he jumped his
bail with Gap" Roach; John Burke,
alias Lame Burke;' "Red" Goss, James
Cassidy, alias O'Brien; John Brady and
John Fay. When Fay's time came to
be photographed he threatened to kill
the officer in charge and 1T required six
men to hold him in the chair, and he
will be held for assault upon an officer.
Thomas Mcclure was caught Wednesday
by Detective Seymour while in the act
of stealing a diamond stud from gen.
tleman at the depot, and Thomas Ryan
was caught while relieving a lady of
her pocketbook as she was boarding a
train.
Detective Knox on Thursday received
letter from Chief Inspector Eldredge
of Boston, stating that officer Burke
would leave for Burlington that night
with requisition upon Gov. Page for
Campbell, who was held here until
his arrival James Mcclure is just out
from Auburn, wheIe he has been for
four years for shop-lifting in Ridley's
store in New York with his pal, Mary
Busbee.
John Fay, alias Gray, is a notorious
pickpocket and short change man.
Four suspicious characters were
brought before Municipal Judge Darling
Thursday morning, but for want of evil
dence they were discharged.

Bennington manufactures of olden Time

In these days of machinery the follow
ing may not be uninteresting by way of
contrast. In 1889, 10000 yards of linen
and tow cloth were made in the town by
hand spun and woven.
From letter written in 1921 l extract
the following: 1--WE have 20 cows, and
are driven very much with work, have
about fifty weight of wool to spin be-
sides the Homework, which you will
naturally imagine to be pretty heavy. 1
have made 26 yards of tow and lineu
cloth and have yarn enough for II more,
and Is yards of wooden cloth" So while
our fathers toiled and fought our
mothers and their mothers clothed their
families and themselves with the work of
their own hands. All honor to our
brave and patriotic torefdthers and in
honoring them, let us forget that there
were also tOremOtherS of whom we may
we'll be proud.

tons to the contrary. North Bennington
efficiently seconded these efforts, and to
the people there many of our guests, dis
tiuguished or otherwise, are indebted
for their entertainment while here.
The decorations, including the arch.
are noticed in their place; also the grand
pyrotechnic display of the evening.
Souvenir programmes were issued by
the committee on printing and an edi-
ton of 10000 32-page pamphlets, CON
tanning railroad rates from all points in
Massachusetts. New Hampshire. Yer
mont and Northern New York, were is
sued and distributed. During Wednes-
day another 40-page edition of 2O,000 re-
vised to date, were also distributed.
The committee on transportation and
the various railroads each contributed
their full share towards the success of
the great event.
The railroads associated principally,
The Bennington banner. [volume] (Bennington, Vt.) 1858-1894, 1891-08-21

were the Bennington q Rutland, the
Central Vermont, the Fitchburg, the
system, as well as the Lebanon Springs,
Especially to the first, which furnished
the terminal accommodation, is credit
due. That the great number who at
tended were brought here and safely re-
turned to their homes is a feat in rail
reading that is seldom equaled, consider
ing the circumstances.

The secrets of her centuries are hid
But here behold
By Star crowned obeisk in beauty grand,
Silently eloquent as we llst'ning stand
Our centurys deeds are told
And round about the spaces of her skies
Majestic forms arisel
oh heroes We are here
Your steadfast eyes saw clear
Across the length of years
Above your tolls and fears
A Star crowned form of light
Dear Libertyl For her ye fought and fell
Now can We view her in her power and might
And know that all is we'll.
We keep your memory in our hearts
As green as your own mountains are
Onward as ye we follow still
Fair Freedoms guiding star.
She stands uplifting alien lands
Unto her breast Hers is a beacon light
Held far across the ocean in the night
Her Star hope to hopeless DER the earth.
Still keep your guard around her beauteous
form,
In rain or sunshine thro the calm or storm,
And watch her now as when ye watched her
birth.
Her course lead upward till as centuries cease
Enter the restful endless years of Peace.

A CLOSE GALL.

A narrow escape from accident oc-
CURED Thursday morning at the point
where the road to the Centre crosses the
Lebanon Springs track. A lady and
child were driving in from the country
arriving at the crossing as a train came
along. The horse became unmanageable
and ran directly in front of the train.
BY good luck the engine caught only
the tire of the hind wheel. The car
riage tipped up on one side and threw
its occupants partly out. Officers
Butcher and Mcpherson of the Troy
police force stopped the horse and pre-
vented any harm being done.

The chairman of each subcommittee,
as well as the president and secretary of
the whole, have been untiring and earn
est in all the labor involved and have
been ably seconded by each person con-
nected with their respective committees.
1t will be seen that some of the gentle
men have served on two or more COM
mittees. Aside from this list several
gentlemen have been efficient as chair
men and members of special committees
of the Masonic Fraternity, the Odd Eel
lows and various other organizations
which appeared in the line.
One of the contingencies early noted
to be provided for was the entertain
ment of the thousands who would prob
ably come, especially the state guests.
OF the latter over 1900 invitations were
sent out, and probably from 1900 to 400
accepted and were present Wednesday.
Tho committee on entertainment organ
lied a system by which each guest
was met on his arrival and assigned
to place among the hospitable homes of
Bennington. The committee on ban
quet and tents ably supplemented their
labors and the tenting accommodations,
in addition to those referred to, were
adequate to lodge and feed much larger
crowd. 1t appears that the problem was
solved of putting a $4,000 assembly in a
1000 town in spite of newspaper predic-

about 100 on the roll. Mr.. Gouley opened

grand officers are expected to be present.
The woman soldier of the Salvation Army
who recently prayed for party OF card
players in the reading room Of an uptown
saloon went down on her knees in the Ar
lington billiard parlors at Augusta Satur-
day afternoon and prayed loud aud long for
the young men there assembled. A very
interesting game Of pool was in progress, in
which the competitors were very evenly
matched, and large crowd OF spectators
was gathered around the table where the
game was In progress. The woman Saliva
ZIONIST came in and importuuei those pres
ent to purchase War Crys, but little atten-
ton was given her until she COM
menced lecturing individuals who re-
fused to become purchasers of her paper.
Finally, one young gentleman told the
Salvationist that she was making nuisance
of herself, and one Of the players assured
her, in unmistakable words, that she was
embarrassing him. About this time she
beard, or fancie5 she heard, an oath from
some one in the parlors, and Immediately
dropped on her knees in prayer. The bill
lard and pool games went on uninterrup:-
eddy as the woman became more and more
fervent and more and more emphatic in her
supplications in behalf of the sinful men of
sinful ways" Finally she arose and entered
into disputes with several persons present
who crossed words with her. The manager
of the billiard rooms was finally compelled
to request her to leave the place, she becams
SO loquacious in her efforts to influence those
present for good

DENouNclNe THE PRINCE.
The Religious Newspapers Discuss thu
 Baccarat Scandal.

The Religious Newspapers Discuss the
 Baccarat Scandal.
 LONDON, June 12. - The Christian World," a religious weekly paper, repre- senting all denominations of Protestants, says of the Prince of Wales, in connec- tion with the baccarat scandal: ''The throne rests upon the foundation of pub lie opinion only. A few more scandals like that of Tranby Croft would destroy this foundation, and Edward VIII would never be crowned"
 The British Weekly" says: "The rev. citations are enough to sober up the strongest supporters of the monarchy"
 The correspondent of the "Times" at Vienna says that the baccarat scandal has caused sensation in army circles on the Continent, especially in countries where the Prince of Wales holds honorary military rank. The cores pondent directs attention to the fact that an Austrian general, who was found to have condoned in similar manner to that adopted by the Prince of Wales acts of cheating upon the part of one of his subordinate officers, was compelled to resign from the army to avoid being tried | by court-martial
