AT THE MONUMENT.

The exercises at the monument
were under the direction of Hon.
Wheelock G. Veazey, president of
the day, and were very happily per-
formed. After short and an ap-
propriate Introductory address he in
troduced Rev. Charles Parkhurst of
Boston who addressed the throne of
Grace. Next in order came the ad-
dress of welcome by Gov. Page.
This was brief but full of meat and
was creditablet to the governor as well
as to the people who placed him in
the executive chair.
Then followed the formal transfer
of the monument from the Benning-
ton Battle Monument association to
the State of Vermont by ex-Gov. b.
+. Prescott Of New Hampshire, pres
ident of the monument association.
This was done in well chosen and elo-
quent words. The acceptance by
Gov. Page was also forcibly and
happily made,
After another song Gen. Yeazey
introduced the orator Of the day,
Hon. Edward j. Phelps of Burling-
ton. Mr.. Phelps's Grafton was mas
terly and scholarly, full Of points and
eloquent passages that drew from his
audience repeated outbursts Of ap-
plause.
At the conclusion Of the address
Gen. Veazey very felictiously intro
duced the president Of the United
States. Mr.. Harrison was received
with uproarious applause, repeated
again and again. His remarks were
brief but, like all of his short speech
es, pleasing and without fault This
concluded the exercises and the va
rious organizations reformed and
marched to the grounds Of the
Soldiers Home, where was located
the banquet tents.
THE BANQUET
was enjoyed by over $500 ladies and
gentleman. The edihles were all
that need TO have been desired and in
quantity abundant. But the real

The SITTER was, in common, with
the State press, "permtted" to pub
lish that senatorial declination and
Gov. Pages fulsome reply, but ii
didn't do it. Why Because ii

rons without going into the slough of
despond. And, by the way, what
was the matter with Jack that he

readers will remember, no doubt.

STILL GREEN IN MEMORY.
A TALL COLUMN MARKS THE BAT-
TlEFlELD OF BENNINGTON.
The Dedication and Celebration on the
10th

The Bennington Centennial cele-
bration and dedication of the battle
monument has passed into history and
will 60 down to succeeding ages.
The day was fine and this, Without
doubt, the greatest of Vermoni's eer-
emonial celebrations passed oil with
out friction and in such manner as
to fill the hearts of every one OF her
sons and daughters, wherever they
may be, with JOY and gladness. The
SITTER has neither time nor space but
to give brief and superficial account
from the memory Of the writer who
was present on Wednesday.
How many were there :?
Well, that is conundrum. Pos
siblv, the best answer, to use COM
mon phrase, would be to say that
there were oceans of people there.
This would be appreciated by those
who from the platform viewed the
vast multitude, massed south, east
and west of the monument during the
exercises. The actual number no
man can tell but it is variously esti-
mated at from $4,000 to $4,000.
Perhaps mean between the two
would not be far from the correct
figures.
The parade was very fine. The
procession, starting from the grounds
of the Soldiers Home little after
10 o'clock, moved through North,
Gage, Stafford and main streets to the
reviewing stand. AT this point a
brief halt was made to allow the Pres
idential party, who previous to this
had occupied the position of honor in
the procession, to take the reviewing
stand. This effected, the march was
resumed to the monument.
AT the junction of North and Main
streets, opposite the Putnam House
an architecturally beautiful! arch had
been erected at cost of $500. con-
structed of wood but painted to rep
resent the stone elr the monums'3t.
Three towers, one at each end and
the other in the center, the latter sur
mounted with large eagle, lent
beauty to the design. Upon an up
per Judgement of the arch we're placed
13 little girls on each side.
Each represented one of the original
states and each one carried the shield
of the state represented. Upon a
lower Judgement $50 school children
sang patriotic songs, and one of the
pleasing incidents of the march was
the singing of America by these
children while the president was
passing beneath. The arch was tast-
lily decorated with flags and bunting.
The center tower during the march
was occupied by Miss Lille Adams
who represented the Goddess of Lib
erty.

The people of the State generally
should take interest enough III Ne
vadas future to at least attend the
State Board of Trade meeting to be
held at Reno on the second Saturday
in January, and every newspaper
should have representative present
and advise the people in its section
to turn out in force. Nevada is in a
hole that is hard for her to emerge
from, and unless the people living
hero show some little interest in the
States future it will be many years
before she gets out of it. The Board
of Trade is the only organization
that we know anything about that Is
doing anything towards State devel-
opmen., and the few men who are
irving 80 hard to bring prosperity
should at least meet with some hts

The C0mstOck Club.

Tribune, who edited she Enterprise
for yea 9, has written book called
''The Comstock Club.
1t isa volume of nearly three huns

sents little etching of old Comstock
days, accompanied by the music of
those old flush days, which none of
us are ever likely to see again. 1t 10
hard to tell when tho Judge wrote
the book. No one ever has known
him for the last quarter of century
to have any spare time.
the book is not story Of plot and
moral. 1t represents few choice
spirits, typical miners who messed to-
gsthsr IN the same house and called
tho mess, "The Com.tock Club " A
pun.tsr, which thank God we ars
not, would say:
"A pretty mess he's made OF 1t. "
These m ners SIMPLY sit about the
ire .. night and their conversation
is panorama Of Comstocf days.
Such lot Of pleasant anecdotes and
good cid fashioned stories of men we
all recognize as We read, wero never

A man who has resided on the old
lode can get the book and live those
old days all over again, but SO the
Eastern man !. good deal of the par
lance of those times will be rs Greek
as lots of tho wit and pathos, which
can only be correctly interpreted by
those who have lived among the sur
rsundings of these peculiar scenes,
the book so faithfully recalls.
Such q book would not sell in Bos'

should buy copy of it, two in fact,

AN INDIFFERENT COMMUNITY

again pointed out the Indifference OF
tie Cl.izcns of Nevada to their own
interest.
The Gazette says it IS in receipt
daily Of marked copies Of new papers

ter booming this or that section of
the country in one way or another
while Nevada sits idly by sucking
her cold fingers and baying at the
moon. Many of her citizens and
newspapers stand on the street cor
ners cursing the railroad and the
towa they live II, telling the passing
stranger that Nevada has no future,
that she is a 'trottcn borough" CON
rolled by the yilest of political bos-
es, and take delight in publishing
such rot to the world We incline
to the belief that pessilence would
be a good thing if 1T would kill oil
these old back numbers, fer we can
not grow as long as these cracked
voices are wheeling like an old mare
with the heaves, against everything
good within our border. They seem
to be 80 constituted that they won't
epioy life or prosperity or allow any
one else to. If they would quit talk
ing through their hat, to use the
slang phrase Of the day, so to work
and pull for the good of the common
wealth, instead of pulling it to pieces
prosperity would be our lot in short
order.

MISS LYDIA MAMREoFF Won FNKELSTEIN { Mrs.
Mountford), the celebrated lecturer ON Eastern
life and manners, has recently been lecturing in
London, where she was interviewed by represent
alive Of the Woman's Penny Paper, which says:
'Miss Won Fnkelstein, who was born and
brought up in the city of Jerusalem and is thor
oughly acquainted with the Holy Land, is wonder
fully gifted in her power of holding an audience.
She can lecture standing or sitting; can sound the
war cry of the desert, wall with the Jews under
the walls of Jerusalem sing an Arab love song in
the tent, chant the Mosem call to prayer from the
mnaret top, and give the Bedouin cooee to be
heard mile off. Many of her representations
could not be given by 3 man, as in the East they
are not admitted to the womens apartments.
She said, 4 have but one chief desire in these lee
lures, namely to make the Bible a more living

have been purchased in Jerusalem, and are accu-

sages unless thus intimately acquainted with the
inner life and customs of the Syrans. The fgura-
tive parts of speech are all taken from known GUS
toms Of daily life in the Holy Land, which would
explain to you much that now appears allegorcal.
The Song of Solomon, for instance, is full of such
passages, which, in the light of this explanation,
assume vivid reality and beauty. will give you
one instance, which may be of especial interest to
your readers. 1t has long been the custom to
look upon Mary, the Mother of our Lord, as
poor woman. Now this is an erroneous idea.
Mary went up to be taxed, accompanied by her
husband. In the East only women of independ-
ent means would be thus taxed: indeed, the very
fact of her being mentioned by name shows this,
otherwise she would have been passed over She
was a property holder, and went up to pay her
taxes in her own right, independently of any hus-
bands control That she and her husband had to
find room in the stable is no proof of poverty the

BURIAL OF A QUEEN.

Corea has recently buried the Queen Dowager
with great state and with all the pomp, forms and
ceremonies peculiar to that nation. She was re-
garded as great woman, having at one time held
the seals of state and having crowned three kings
of Corea. The present King was her adopted son.
The correspondents letter describing the funeral
ceremonies, in an exchange, says:
"lhe procession bearing the body to the grave
was composed of two parts as distinct as life and
DEATH The fore part included eatables, beautiful
banners animals regally caparisoned and other
thinks making up numerous retinue of horse and
of foot, as though the Queen were going out to a
picnic Behind this was the funeral procession
proper containing the catafalque, accompanied by
large military escort Many thousands of Official
red lanterns lighted the procession and the King
caused certain places along the route to be pre-
pared for the use of diplomatic representatives
VINO desired 20 see something of Eastern pageantry.
The American Minister had an escort of marines
and sailors, and several of the former had cameras
but 1t is doubtful whether any good pictures were
got owing to the light and to the difficulty of TAX
Ing them. The coffin was not placed in the

among the children and talking about them. AFTER
this there are more games, and then the children
sing their goodby song and 60 home, usually at
twelve OF clock noon.
This work of beginning at the bottom of the

harvest will bespeak the seedtime.
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals has been in hot pursuit lately of the law
breakers who dock horses tails. The law which
made this crime was passed several years ago.
About dozen boarding stables and number of
veterinary establishments are under police sur
veillance. Some arrests have been made. A
number of grooms were fined and sentenced to
three months imprisonment.
EThis questionable Improvement on the Creators
plan would be less Objectionable if it was not at
tended with such excruciating agony on the part
of the poor horse. Had the Creator provided this
most beautiful animal of his handiwork with
paint brush for a caudle appendage, it would have
been never ceasing object for regret on the part
of the subjects made in His own likeness.
The Margaret Louisa Home, the gift of Mrs.
Elliot F. Shepard, was presented to the Young
Women's Christian Association, completely fur

has 80 rooms and 90 beds, and is intended as a
temporary home for young women seeking employ
ment in New York. Mrs. Shepard is Vanderbilt,
and in this beautiful home she has made sub
stantal addition to New Yorks many charities.
The press is remarking upon the fact that Emma
Abbott in her many requests to charities left
nothing to any of the institutions for women.
Olive Thorne Miller has within the past four
months posted from her home in Brooklyn no less
than 10000 printed slips asking the women of
New York not to wear birds or the plumage The
