The Raum investigation was continued today.
Representative Cooper Qnd.), who has been
out of the city, said that he had seen by the
papers that frequent references had been
made to himself in the proceedings. aud he
asked permission TO examine the testimony
and certain records in the pension office.
The attack made has been specially
directed at himself and there were some
things needed explanation. On the face of
them they looked as if he had some knowledge
of matters which were very reDrehensible and
which had been done in his name, but without
his knowledge. he had no correction with
anything that was irregular and wanted TO ex-
anime the records before making a statement
in order that bis statement when made, might
be full and complete.
James W. Donahue, n pension Office clerk
testified that he caused the arrest OF Maj. Bar
ker, a dismissed chief of the records division,
for failure to pay borrowed funds and finally
got the money; but Barker, who was then
chief, Immediately reduced him from section

THE MOUNTAIN TOWER.
DIR. Draper's own idea OF what 1t
should BE.

From his address at the Professional Club Meet
ing ladies night May 1890, when the topic
was what does Brattlehoro most NEEDY
speak for the further development of the
natural attractions of Brattleboro.
1t seems probable that at no distant day
the summit of Wantastiquet will be made
accessible by carriages, and whenever that
time comes it will be matter of wonder
to all of us that we have slept so long be-
meath its shadow, unaware of the beauties
it commands. For years now have the eX-
press trains from New York rushed by
with their thousands of pleasure seekers,
and we have been unable to help ourselves.
What we most need to set about is some
thing that will cause them to stop. This
must be something that will catch the eye.
In connection with the construction of the
mountain road, it has been proposed to
erect a tower upon the summit. This will
do it, if it is an attractive one, as effect
ually as barricade across the track. But
let us have no skeleton affair there. A
wood structure is out of the question.
There was one once, and an attractive one,
too, but it went up in flames and smoke,
and so might another. Iron has been sug-
gested but it is open to objections 1t is
something out of joint with the eternal fit
ness of things. 1t is time substantial arti-
fetal work were done to supplement some
of the rugged points upand down this New
England valley which were raised in the
rough by Mother Nature ages ago, and
which may one day become classic like
those of the Hudson and the Rhine. No
better point is afforded upon which to rear
a first monument than on this mountain,
which stands above us and looks down
upon us. Let us carry up to its most prom
inent height no tlimsy or foreign mater
ials, but rather gather up those fragments
of the mountain itself which lie loose upon
its top and simply pile them higher. Moth
ing but stone would be in keeping with
either the character Of the mountain, OF
that of our people.
| am very much in earnest upon this
point. There is much in our northern
scenery to remind the traveller of Scotland
This eastern view of ours suggests Salisbury
crag, Arthurs Seat overlooking old Edin
burgh, and whoever has visited the TrOs
sachs and gazed upon Ben Lomond, sees il
its rocky pinnacle shooting above the sum
init like a colossal citadel rough-mad,
and rudey fashioned by the Great Archi
tect, something which puts out of mine
anything less solid and enduring in tn,
finishing of natures work, than the i'm
perishable stone.
Let us then initiate in the browning o
our mountain top this hint of the Grea
Architect, in the work of our hands; ant
as we set about it, "Look up and not down
look forward and not back, look out an,
not in, and lend hand"
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1892-03-25
us when we too awake from this dream OF
ife and stand in the presence of the King,
After life's ftful fever he sleeps well!
Nothing can touch him further
DIR. DRAPER's MOST FITTING MON.
UMENT.

Since the death of DIR. Draper the sug-
gestion has many times been made from
many sources that the most fitting monu-
ment that could be built to his memory
would be the erection on the top OF Wan
tastiuuet of tower of enduring stone.
The important part borne by DIR. Drape!
in the construction of the mountain road,
with the approval and cooperation of the
ASYLUM trustees, is well known In this
work he took satisfaction second only to
that felt by him when the ownership of all
that portion of the mountain side directly
opposite the village of Brattleboro had been
secured by the asylum, assuring to our peo-
pie that it should never be made other than
the thing of beauty it now is, by being
stripped of its forest. That he hoped to
see stone tower on the pinnacle, and
meant to move for its erection at no dis
tant day, was well known by intimate
friends.
Ever since he returned from a visit to
Europe in 1881, after seeing the substantial
structures of this kind so common in the
old world, he has been impressed with the
desirability and importance of having Wan
tastiquet crowned with a tower To the
writer he then said, and has since many
times repeated, that the best advertisement
Brattleboro could make for herself was to
build on the mountain a commanding tower
which every traveller through this portion
of the Connecticut valley must see, arous-
ing his interest and enquiry, and directing
his attention to the charming village which
nestles almost at the mountains feet.
On the last day of his life, racked with
pain and struggling for breath, he asked re-
peatedly to have the curtains raised and
himself arranged in bed or in his chair so
that he could look out upon the mountain.
1t was spot very dear to him, and his last
thoughts on earth turned lovingly toward
it.
Should the asylum trustees find it within
their province and according to their judg-
ment to cause the erection there of an en-
during monument such as is here alluded
to, it would be recognized as the most fit
ting act that could be DONE and there are
many citizens in BrattleborO, as there are
doubtless personal friends living elsewhere,
who would esteem it a privilege to contrib
ute toward such a monument in grateful
and loving recognition of one whose life
had meant so much to them.
1t would be peculiarly fitting could the
coming season see the work begun and
well advanced
The Phoenix would be glad to heal
from any person in BrattleborO, or living
elsewhere, who would like to contribute to
ward such a memorial.

THE REBEKAH's MASQUERADE.

The town hall was gay last evening with
a good-naturcd crowd clad in every variety
of disguise, and carefully cOncealng their
identity with strange garb and right hued
masks. The occasion, the sixth annual
mask ball given by the Dennis Rcbekah
lodge, was delightful one, and large
number were in attendance, l25 or more
couples taking part in the grand march.
\ short concert program was rendered by
the orchestra, Leitsingcrs, with the usual
excellence, and at its close - members of
the lodge, dressed in green and pink, the
lodge colors, took the floor and went
through a march, grouping in its progress
to make the letters, f, l. and T, (Friend-
ship, Love and Truth) AT its close the
maskers fell in and the general march
'opened the ball" The usual handsome.
grotesque and ordinary costumes were not
ed, many being elegant in make up and of
excellent general effect. Five hours of
dancing, with the pleasing interruption
made by the serving of ice cream and
cake, sent everybody home at l o'clock
tired but happy. G. b. Wheeler of Bel
lows Falls, who acted as prompter for the
occasion, gave general satisfaction to the
participants in the dance, and the receipts
from the sale of tickets, 5000, was pleas
ing to the ladies, to whom the credit of the
| admirable arrangements so well carried out
is due. The costumer from Springfield
who occupied the lower hall, had an artis-
tic line of costumes, of which a large
number took advantage

THE ETERNAL ARMS.

The following hymn, which was sung by Mr..
Miller at DR.. Diapers funeral, a favOrite with
him. and his intimate friends know that its senti-
ment was a reflex of his own religious feeling and
interior life.l
To thine eternal arms, O God,
Take us, thine erring children in;
From dangerous paths too boldly trod,
From wandering thoughts and dreams of sin.
Those arms were round our childish ways
a guard through helpless years TO be;
Oh, leave not our maturer days,
We still are helpless without thee!
We trusted hope and pride and strength:
Our strength proved false, our pride was vain,
Our dreams have faded all at length
We come to thee, o Lord, again
A guide to trembling steps yet be,
Give us of thine eternal powers,
So shall our paths all lead to thee.
And life smile on like childhood's hours

TO ONE WE LOVED.

Thy rarest smile, which t was our JOY to meet,
Our colder pulses stirred to richer flow:
Thy cordial clasp and kindly word did throw
Warm cheer around, as when the sun doth greet
The new born day; thy rpening life was sweet
With grace; t was strength for hope and faith to
know
Thy native worth, with added force and glow
From cultured mind and heart,--a man complete
Meath Times rough tide a swimmer strong goes
down,
A loved one from our midst who hreasting well
Yet sank with prize the well-beloved gains
Evn thus our vOided hearts are as a crown
10 his nobility; our grefs but swell
The greeting song where fairer peace attains
