will be the dedicatory grafton. Then
will follow the Star Spangled Banner"
and Hail Columbia" symphony with the
full chorus and orchestral accompani-
ment.
Then Chauncey M. Depew, OF New
York, will advance and deliver Co.

| he has been making. When Mr.. Depew
has delivered his last rounded period
| the great assemblage will dispense
while the national salute, as finale, is
being fired on the Lake Front. At night
there will be display of fireworks.
Preparing for the Civic Parade.
All details have not yet been arranged
| for the civic parade the first day OF the
ceremonies, but the assurances from
| fraternal and industrial organizations
are such as to lead the Committee On
| Ceremonies to believe that an unexam-
pied procession of uniformed societies
will march through the principal streets
of Chicago.
| The Patriotic Sons of America have
volunteered 1000 members; the United
| Order of Foresters say they will have
| Il. 900 men in line; the Catholic Order
of Foresters offers 10000; and the
knights of Pythias have asked to. be
| given a conspicuous position in the pa
rade, saying they will send 10000
Knights. These estimates are all Off
cial, being made by the officers of the
several orders upon receipt Of invitation
to participate. The Masonic order will
| be represented by large number Of
| lodges of uniformed Knights Templars,
and the order of Odd Fellows will also
| be here in large numbers.
A feature of the civic parade will be
900 school children in line. marshaled
by their class captains. There are 170,-
900 school children in Chicago, but the
authorities have declined to indorse q
parade of more than the number men
toned.
Procession of the Centuries.
Sixty 5000 candle-power electric
search lights will illumine the grand
procession of the centuries as they float
along their course at night at Jackson
Park. These floats, twenty-four in
number. have been designed with a
view of excelling in artistic beauty and
size any other ever produced. The
average proportions are 30 feet high and
SO feet long.

The Sick Poor of Bennington.

We, The physicians of Bennington,
having long recognized the wrong prac-
ticed upon the sick poor of the town, in
being deprived of their choice in the Sc
lection of medical or surgical attendance
when needed, hereby agree,
First, That under no circumstances
will we, who have hereunto subscribed
our names. contract, either directly or
indirectly with the Overseer of the Poor
or any other person for the exclusive
medical or surgical aid of the poor of
Bennington whether residing at the So
called town farm or elsewhere.
Second, That we will accept no call
from the Overseer of the Poor, or any
person contracting to care for the poor,
to take charge of sick or injured per-
son, in professional capacity or even to
prescribe for such, except in the absence
of the attending physician, and then
only in an emergency, if the said patient
or the said patients proper representa-
tive expresses a wish for some other
physician residing il the town of Ben
ningtOn, or one regularly and permanent
ly occupying an office in Bennington.
Third, That if any one of the follow
ing subscribers should find after having
accepted a call, that a preference for
been expressed, prior to such call to see
any case, either medical or surgical, we
would any one of us Immediately relin-
pushed such case to the physician de-
sired.
Nothing in the foregoing shall be con-
strued to prevent ordinary consultations
which shall be subject to the same rules
as in ordinary practice.
Every physician of Bennington North
Bennington included), has signed the
above.
This is movement in the right 1irec-
ton. The town is able to employ for its
poor people their own attending family
physician, and because person, by
reason of age or otherwise, becomes a
town charge it is not right that he or she
be deprived of the choice of doctors per-
tanning to free people. Now let that
other questionable method of farming
out the care of the poor by contract be
abolished, and let the town pay for the
care of its poor folks, either at their
home or the town farm, as the dictates
of civilization shall suggest, and two
substantial reforms will have been in
augarated. This is good-let us have
more of the same sort.

A Great Newspaper.

Sixty one years ago Horace Greeley,
who learned the art of printing in this
State when boy, found himself in New
York with only ten dollars in his pocket.
A fellow Vermonter aided him in getting
position in an office, and his own abili-
ties enabled him to keep the place. Ten
years later, after various attempt to start
new papers, all of which proved failures
from his lack of business methods, he
founded the Tribune, which at once
sprang into popularity, and has ever
since held it's place there.
The story of Mr. Greeley's life from
the time of his birth among the granite
hills of New Hampshire, in poverty,
where he acquired the commonest of a
common school education, up to the
time when he ran for President, self
educated, able, and even wealthy, as
wealth was counted forty years ago and
his subsequent death, would make in.
teresting and romatic reading if we had
place for it.
In the Tribune Mr.. Greeley left splen-
did legacy to the people of this country
and it still easily maintains its former
supremacy as the leading Republican
newspaper of the land.
The editorial mantle of Horace
Greeley fell on worthy shoulders, for
Whitelaw Reid is recognized as standing
at the head of the editorial profession
in the United States. His work is ably
supplemented by corps of assistance
and writers who take high rank in
journalism, the letters of Hon. r. G.
Horn on the tariff and other questions,
alone giving the paper high character
for literary merit and ability.
Tho Weekly edition of the Tribune is
supplied to subscribers at 81. per year,
but we have made special arrangement
with the publishers by which we are
able to furnish the BANNER and the
Tribune to subscribers, at the price
charged for the BANNER alone, thus Civ
ing them the Tribune actually for
nothing.
No such offer has ever before been
made by the publishers of a county
paper, and it would be we'll for those who
may wish to secure the advantage of the
offer to accept it at once. See announce
ment in another place today.

Memorial to BIshop.eleot Michaud

AS the citizens of this village and vi
cinity know there has been inaugurated
a movement having for its object to pre-
sent memorial of respect to Rt. Rev.
Bishop-elect Michaud.
The demonstration of this memorial
will take the form of a public meeting,
to be held at a time and place yet
to be designated. 1t is also announced
that Committee of arrangements con-
sisting of 30 members of st. Francis de
Sales parish and of some neighboring
parishes has been chosen. Of this com
mite the Hon. John Robinson has been
elected chairman and Mr.. Daniel A.
Ward secretary. The object of this
committee is, chiefly, to collect funds for
purse of money to be presented to the
Bishop-elect on the occasion of this pub
lie meeting. Collectors are already So
Letting subscriptions for this object,
each collector having a subscription
book duly authenticated by the sigma
lures of the chairman of the Committee.
1t is earnestly requested that all take an
interest in this affair to make the occa-
sion the success which its object war
rants.
While, of course, this will be mainly a
Catholic affair, still, all our fellow-citi-
zens are cordiallyinvited to participate in
a demonstration to man, who in a
prominent position before our eyes
for years. has earned the cordial
respect and admiration of all.
Indeed, it is our opinion that those
qualities of excellence which have en-
deared him to our hearts have caused
his nomination to the more exalted field
of the Bishopric.

Editor Of the Bdnner.-As you are ex.
pected to know almost everything, can
you tell us why we in Bennington cannot

Perhaps our prosecutor finds it toe
much for one; though he is young and
vigorous. Ought we not to elect an as
sistant? Possibly he may claim that he
has done good work; and if so, can he
not overcome his timidity, and secure
aid, and enlarge his prosecutions? If he
will give US any reason why Bennington
is exempt from all interference, while
constantly so boldly defying law, We

Shadows: Died at his residence on
the morning of the oath instant, Mr..
Joseph Verin. His funeral was attended
from the Congregational Church Thurs
day at o'clock p. IN. He was in the
37th year of his age. He was the grand
son of Joseph Verin who with his
brother Nathan, Esq.,, came from Rhode
Island to Pownal and established them
selves upon adjoining farms. Both of
these elder men left children; the family
of Joseph being the larger. Nathan had
one son, who grew to manhood, married,
but died before his father, survived by a
wife and two daughters. Joseph the
elder, besides daughters, had two sons,
neither of whom are now living. The
present deceased was the son of the
younger of these, Joseph Verin jr., and
leaves several sons to perpetuate the
Verin name in Pownal.
Memorial day: Present indications
are that no public services of any kind
will distinguish this day in Pownal, un-
less the Band see fit TO celebrate the
occasion on their own behalf. A few
years ago, one of our schools was wont
to gather on this day, and forming pro-
cession, and scattering upon the soldier
graves within our cemetery their floral
tribute of respect, exhibited to the world
that the patriotic feeling or sentiment
was yetalive in the hearts of the children,
even though it were dead or dying in the
parents. 1t would be at least fitting
exercise for next Monday, if our school
would gather with its pupils and
teachers, over the graves of our Veterans,
giving to the breeze the flag, which they
daily float when the school is in session,
and honor by appropriate services the
memory of the dead who fought and
bled for their country.
