CORRESPONDENCE.
"Yours for Protection ;,

A correspondent of the BANNER
sends the following, which will be in
teresting to our readers.-ED tHsq
The inconsistencies of Democratic ar
guments are so numerous and grotesque
during the present campaign that speci-
fications seem useless, and yet | feel in
clined to call attention to couple of
specimens that are so glaring as to Dor.
der on the ridiculous. The New York
World and ITS satellites have, devoted
much time and ink to prove that kthe
farmer received no protection from the
Mckinley act. One of the Democratic
speakers, recently imported here. dwelt
upon the same line of argument; but be-
fore leaving the platform told his hear
ers the old chestnut about the boy
that wanted more duty put upon horses,
so that the Canadians would be forced
to pay us for taking their horses. By
inference, at least, he told us that our
Vermont farmer was protected in one of
his most important industries; that of
horse breeding. Again, in recent is
sue of the RetOrmer, the wall went up
that potatoes were scarce and the con-
sumner was likely soon to see the beau
ties of the Mckinley bill And does he
suppose the farmer is so blinded by his
nonsensical arguments that he cannot
see the same beauties? Whatever might
be the result if "The- -big-fellow- afraid
of-his-platform' was elected, of one
thing we are sure, Protection is for all
the people, and the country is safe in
the hands of the present administration.

Arlington,

The celebration of Columbus Day was
made an affair of the parents and friends
of the school children by having the
larger portion of the exercises at the
Town hall. At about S45 the children
of District No. 2, assembled at their
school house, where at 9.15, headed by
the Arlington Cornet Band, they marched
up to the railroad crossing where they
met the schools from East Arlington and
Chiselyille, with members from District
No. 4. Here the line reforming all
marched to the school, where they en-
closed the newly erected flag-pole. The
following programme was then complet-
ed: Reading of the Presidents Procla-
nation, by Rev. r. C. Soaring, Superin-
tendent of Schools; Raising of the flag,
j. X. Batchelder, President of the Day
Recitation, THE National Banner" g"
Willie Cullinan; Administering the obi
CATION, the Superintendent; Song, "Hur-
rah for the Flag" by the children. After
this, the line was reformed for the march
to the Town Hall, which presented fine
appearance, as almsot every child and
teacher had flag, large or small, whose
fluttering in the breeze gave gay ap-
pearance to the procession. At the Town
Hall the children were given the front of
the auditorium in charge of the teachers,
whilst the gentlemen who were to take
part in the exercises, occupied seats on
the stage. The following was the pro
gramme: Reading of the Governor S
Proclamation, Rev. r. G. Soaring; Song,
'My Country It's of Thee" quartette
Reading of the Scripture, Rev. A. c.
Field; Prayer, Rev. Joel Martin; Read

Oct. oath, in the pleasant house where
they were joined in wedlock by the late
Rev. G. H. Hubbard, who for so many
years was pastor of the Second Congre-
gational church of Bennington. Mrs.
Cushman is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
II. d. Hall, who resided in the residence
in which the ceremony took place, and
into which these friends have lately
moved. 1t seemed somewhat strange
that the occasion should be in the old
house, the celebration of which was de-
termined upon when it was known they
would occupy the premises. Cards were
issued for company on that evening with
no intimatiOn of silver wedding, but
many learning of it made it a time for
presenting large variety of beautiful
mementoes of their friendship and es-
TEEN. They were selected with taste,
and each was looked upon by the recip-
tents as of much value and as tipifying
enduring regard and love. When the
large party had assembled, the happy
paiI came into the room accompanied by
their five children who had been spared
them, a wedding march being rendered
upon the piano, and took their places,
where they stood quarter of century
ago, dressed in the same suits used on
that occasion, the bridal dress being a
light blue silk with train, and white
kid shoes. Much attention and merri-
ment was caused by the bonnet, which
had been so long preserved, of light blue
velvet, trimmed with pure white flowers,
in shape the crescent of the moon, with
long strings or streamers. Their present
pastor, the Rev. Chas. II. Peck, made
some pleasant and appropriate remarks,
asking the parties to join hands if they
felt they could repledge themselves to a
continuation of their happy relation, and
in closing offered prayer and pronounced
BenediCtion, which we're fitting to end
the interesting episode. This being
over, it was announced that S. B. Hall,
cousin of Mrs. Cushman, would say a
few words, which he did in a very happy
manner. The sallies of wit and humor
with reference to each of the persons adj
dressed, were timely, and being put in
his pleasant language and style, was
eagerly listened to and highly enjoyed by
the unexpecting company, as we'll as ap-
preciated by his surprised longtime
| friends and relatives. The evening was
agreeably spent in congratulations, and
conversation among many who had not
met for years, until tables were spread
in the several rooms, when viands furn-
ished by Sinsabaugh of Troy, supple
mented by choice salads and jellies by
| friends here, were served in courses, till
all were satisfied. Music and singing by
friends added to the pleasure of the
evening, and when the time came for
separating, the hand shaking and good
night was with the feeling and cadence
of voice, which indicated satisfaction in
the observance of this wedding annivers-
| ary.

No public day for years has brought
with it so much of youthful enthusiasm
as did the anniversary day of Americas S
discovery, columbus Day" 1t was a
most fitting idea that the public schools
of our country should be made the
prominent feature of its celebration;
and that they thus should be put upon
exhibition before the world as its rich.
est and most comely fruit. AT 0 o'clock
a. m. over one hundred scholars we're as
sembled at the school house to observe
the programme which provided the ex-
ercises for that hour of the day, every
where in the country where there was a
school house. In the afternoon all the
school children in town assembled at
Pownal, marched in procession through
its several streets, and then held a
meeting fn the Methodist church wheIe
good speaking and good singing were
freely dispersed. In the evening the
graded school of North Pownal gave an
entertainment suited to the occasion, to

The death of Mrs. Harrison, wife of
the President, although expected has
awakened profound regret. This senti-
ment is worldwide in extent. She was
an estimable woman and easily led as the
first lady of the land. The funeral train
left Washington yesterday for Indianap-
oils, and the burial rites will be said in
that city this afternoon, the President
and family returning to the Capital to-
night, arriving tomorrow noon. Four
Presidents have died in Office and the
wife of two Presidents. The Presidents
who have died were Harrison, Taylor,
Lincoln and Garfield. Of:hese Harrison
and Taylor died in the White House.
Gen. Taylor died July 9th, 1850. The first
death was that of the grandfather of
President Harrison, "Old Tippecanoe,
oldest of presidents, which occurred
April 4th, 1S41, one month to day after
his Inauguration as president. The Sec
ond death was that of the wife of Presi-
dent John Tyler, the successor of Gen.
Harrison, in the fall of 1872 July 9th,
1852, Gen. Zachary Taylor died in the
executive mansion. Wedding ceremonies
have been held and deaths of children
of presidents have happened in the in
terim, but the venerable structure has
not been shrouded in mourning before
for woman for over fifty years.

Wallingford, and the same were duly
elected.
The committee on resolutions sub
mitted the following:
WHEREAS; since our last reunion the
Providence of God has removed from
earth Maj n. B. Hall, we desire to ex-
press our deep sorrow at the loss of one
endeared to our memory and our hearts
by comradeship of arms. No more
faithful soldier ever left Vermont, and
no officer of the regiment was more
friendly to the men or more solicit0us
for their comfort and success.
We tender to the family our sincere
sympathy and we share with them the
comfort of knowing that such life has
not been in vain, it has only passed on to
other spheres, and to better rewards
than earth can bestow upon its servants
and heroes. To the comrades of other
families similarly bereaved we send our
assurance of sympathy, and the deep feel
ing within, as we recall all who shared
with us the tolls and evils, the pain of
battle and the joy of victory.
ReSOleed, That our hearty thanks be
given to the citizens of Manchester, the
WOmens Relief Corps, and the Sons of
Veterans, for the kind reception we have
had and the generous feast to which we
sat down on our arrival. The arrange
ments reflect credit upon all who had a
share in them.
The sum of $16.35 was raised for ex-
penses and for sending the Manchester
Journal containing an account of the re-
union to absent comrades. Voted to
hold the next reunion at Bristol: The
Executive Committee to arrange for it
was appointed as follows: N. F. Dunshee
of Bristol, r. c. Middlebrook of Yer.
gennes and II. G. Hibbard of Orwell.
A camp fire was held in the evening at
which Chaplain Smart and other COM
rades spoke.-MdncheSter Journal.

same is to be repeated Friday evening
of this week. Would that just such days
might be increased in our calendar so
that by these remainders of what
former patriots had done to increase
present happiness and safety a deep
everlasting sentiment of patriotism rev.
erentiai love for the flag should be so in
tensely instilled in the young mind that
no possible condition of religious diver
sity or party antagonisms could or
would influence this action.

Bills are coming into the Legislature
daily and yesterday among the number
were some of more than ordinary inter-
est, such as the highway bill, the one
looking toward uniform marriage and
divorce laws, another very considerably
increasing the fine for violation of the
prohibitory law and two of special inter-
est to horsemen. Representative Dewey
has introduced several amendments to
the village of Bennington charter, and
one to incorporate savings and loan

INVESTIGATING THE TANKS.
Special Committee Looking Into the
Question of Removing Them.

A Special Committee Looking Into the
Question of Removing Them.
A special committee appointed by
the president of the City Council, com
posed of w. P. Dupuy, president, and
Messrs. Fackenthal, Boswell and John
son, to investigate the oil tanks OF the
Standard Oil Company in regard to hav-
ing them moved from their present
place, held meeting yesterday after
noon and Investigations were made. j.
Allen Watts represented the Standard
Oil Company, Eston Randolph, city
solicitor, represented the city and the
underwriters we're represented by Col.
Thomas Lewis. Several witnesses were
examined who had been reared in the
oil regions and none of them thought
there was any danger OF the city being
damaged should the tank be struck by
lightning.
Mr.. Williams, who is an expert in the
oil business and also general manager
of the Standard Oil Company of BaIti-
more, was present end otated that the
company he represented had taken
every precaution against accident. He
also stated that the cellar in the yard,
which is enclosed by a brick wall to
prevent the oil from running out, would
hold, according to measurement, about
212, 900 gallons, while the tank only had
a capacity Of $4,000 gallons. and that
there was never more than SO per cent.
OF that amount, or $4,000 gallons, in the
tank at one time.
The committee went from the court
house, the place of meeting. to the oil
tank and after carefully looking into
Gatters decided to have an expert make
calculation OF the capacity of the tank.
alse Of the cellar, and MAKO 2 renort to
them. after which they will render their
decision,

ADANGER POINT

The petition of the Underwriters of
Roanoke to have the oil tank removed
to safe place should be needed. 1t is
as liable to get afre as any other
structure similarly placed. 1t is more
apt to be struck by lightning, and any
accident which turned its contents into
Trout run would be very apt to destroy
the business part of Roanoke by con-
Migration beyond the power of all the
FIRE engines in Roanoke or in Virginia
to control and subdue.
The danger is imminent and should
be averted without delay. Such fire
would strike Roanoke blow that would
be irreparable. But put all this aside. 1t
seems certain that the insurance com
panies will raise rates on the business
section of Roanoke to much higher
figure than at present solely on account
OF the danger from the oil tank. The
increased premiums will be the most
f0rcible argument which can be used
against allowing the oil tank to re
remain.

Lecture Friday Night.

The Ladies' Aid Society OF the Greene
Memorial Church have made arrange
ments with Rev. w. w. Royal, D.. D.,
to deliver his popular lecture, by Ship,
Rickshaw and Wheelbarrow, or Lite in
the Far East" on Friday, September 30,
in the lecture room of said church. The
aid society devotes its money to the re-
lief of the poor and its object is most
worthy. The lecture has been delivered
in nearly fifty places in Virginia, North
Carolina, Maryland, West Virginia and
Kentucky, and is universally popular.
