The National Guard at HoosIck Falls.


Last Friday night, says the Troy Press,
the Thirty-second Separate Com pany
surpassed all previous efforts at enter
tanning their friends. The occasion was
the celebration of the seventh anuiver-
sary of the enrolment of the Citizens
Corps into the National Guard of the
State. The evenings entertainment
opened with a concert by the Citizens
Corps band, and during the exercises
they discoursed music to the delectation
of the large number present. The athlet-
ic exercises were highly creditable and
interesting, being under the management
of Prof. Adams, instructor of athletics
at Williams College. After the first part
of the programme a pleasant event oc-
Cured, in which Capt. c w. Eddy of
the Citizens Corps and Capt. II. ID.
Fillmore of the Bennington Rifles, faced
each other The Thirty-second boys
wanted to ''get even'' with the Benning-
ton Rife boys for the delightful manner
in which the former were entertained by
the latter at the Bennington Centennial.
Accordingly, the Thirty-second boys
drew up a set of resolutions, expressive
of their appreciation, handsomely and
artistically engrossed by the young
artist, G.. Harry Plato. and elegantly
framed. These were presented to the
Bennington company. Capt. Eddy made
a few pleasant remarks in presenting the
resolutions, and Capt. Fillmore accepted
the token in an appropriate speech.
| These resolutions may be seen in the
windows of Cole & Burt of this village.
After the presentation the invited guests
were escorted to the Casino Opera house,

This is an increase ofabout1 II per cent
in number of books taken out, and more
than 80 per cent in tickets sold by Libra
rian. A large number of the tickets were
sold later than September lst. There has
been marked increase in the num-
Der of those consulting reference books,
and other helps on special topics; and
the books taken from the Library have
been largely of higher type than in
previous years.
The accommodation of the reading
room have many times been insufficient
for those wishing to use them, and
sometimes every available seat i'll both
rooms has been occupied and more were
needed.
The classification of the books, com
menced some months since, is now
practically completed, and promises to
be very useful both to the Librarian and
to the public who use the Library.

calls. Poole's Index gives a practical
value to the files of all the great maya
zines. some of which, though in most
cases incomplete, ARE now in the Library.
The Committee earnestly recommends
the appropriation of sufficient funds to
complete the files of the great periodi-
calls, parts of which are now on hand,
without needless delay.
1t has been the aim of your Committee
during the present year to maintain, and
as far as the means at its command
would allow, to improve upon the ad-
vantages offered by the reading room TO
all classes of readers. Here are TO De
found many of the most valuable Amerl-
can publications. The range of reading
is wide, and every department. repre-
sented is meant to be the best OF It's
kind. On the list are found the North
American Review, the Atlantic Monthly,
the Century, the Eclectic, the Forum,
Harper's Magazine, Harper's Bazaar,
Harper's Weekly, Harpers Young Peo-
pie. the Fortnightly Review, Cosmopoli-
tan, Forest and Stream, New England
Magazine, Magazine of American His
tory, New York Daily Herald, New York
Daily Tribune, Popular Science Monthly,
St. Nicholas, Scribner's Wide-Awake,
Youths Companion, Public Opinion,
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly, Scien-
tific American, Scientific American
Builders Edition), Scientific American
Supplement, New York School Journal,
ETC., etc.
That the reading room is appreciated,
is evidenced by the patronage itreceives.
That it is doing work which is to tell
for the culture of this town in after
wears. is at least suggested by the large
number of school children who frequent
its rooms. Its influence in leading young
people to the Library is of great value for
it NAV in time make the Library strong
auxiliary of the school. Under such
circumstances the usefulness of the Lii
brary might be greatly increased, and this
end should be sought by some unity of
action between the authority of the Ii
brary and that of the school. A step
toward making the institution more
valuable to the school was taken when
every ticket was made good for year
from the date of its issue.
A further step would place many of
the tickets in the school, and additional
progress. in this case on the part of the
school, would see the reading of the
children in each room largely under the
direction of the teacher,with an arrange
ment whereby systematic reading done in
the Library should be placed to the credit
of the child in his school course. IL is
believed that the school children might
be readily transformed into active work
ers for the Library and do much to edu
cate the people to its use and value, by
giving each child ticket as reward
for selling three. In conclusion the com.
mittee urges the most liberal appropria.
ton that the financial condition of the
Association will admit, not only for the
purchase of needed books, but for the
binding and reminding of works now OF
hand, and as means of completing the
sets of various periodicals.
With these remarks and recommends
lions this report, already too long, is re
spectfully submitted

trinity of deafness rendered 1t necessary
for him to retire from his chosen pro-
fession. He asked to become lay reader
of the service at Grace Episcopal church.
He was soon afterward ordained as
deacon, and from thence advanced to
the priesthood, and in 1891 was consti-
tuted rector of Grace church, a position
he held at his death. His advancement
to the rectorship was the suggestion of
Bishop Bissell of the diocese of Yer
mont. The fact that Mr.. Dana was over
10 years old marks the case as a remark
able one in the history of the Episcopa-
church. AS a teacher he was enthusi-
astic in his work, and took a foremost
interest in all matters pertaining to edu-
cation. he had probably no profession
al cOmpeer in the State except Joseph S.
Cilley of Underhill, now county ex-
aminer in Chittenden county, and were
earnest and devoted professional and
personal friends. In 1S47 he was united
in marriage to Marcia H. Wells of Hart
land, and to them were born three chill
dren. Mrs. Dana and one son, ex-District
Attorney Edward Dana, survive him.
The funeral was observed from Grace
chapel, West Rutland, on Saturday
afternoon. Rev. Charles Martin Niles,
rector of Trinity church, Rutland,

A DEADLY BLOW ATLABoR.

The leaders of the Democracy are now
as truly engaged in an effort to overthrow
the American system of government, so
far as it relates to the encouragement
and Protection of LABOR, as was the
Southern Democracy while it was at
tempting to destroy American institu-
tons.
The protective system has been so long
in operation in this country that it may
properly be regarded as the American
system. Under it the nation has grown
great, wealthy, and prosperous. There
is no land under the sun where labor
brings as much comfort, and where
laborers have so many happy homes.
Under the most recent rearrangement of
the tariff, Republican measure from
first to last, these conditions of labor
have been still further improved, prices
are coming down, wages are increasing,
and production is multiplying in most
gratifying degree. The Peck report
proves all this for the great State of New
York by statistics which if true for the
first State in the Union, must be true for
all the rest
The New York condition may be called
the first returns from the working of the
Mckinley tariff. And this testimony in
its favor and in its praise is Democratic
testimony. The business of the country
is rapidly arranging itself under the new
conditions, and it is found that the prom
Use of full employment for labor, at
good wages, was never before as good ;
that industrial enterprises were never
before so rapidly developing; and that
under the reciprocity features of the new
law the trade of the country is receiving
such an impetus as has been unknown
for many years.
The conditions result from the de-
velopment of the American system OF
promoting trade and manufacturing en-
terprises, and lifting labor above the
pauper level to the happiest condition
which it has ever known in any land,
while there is sure promise of still better
things in the near future.
This is the system which the Demo.
cratic leaders are united to destroy. In
fact, they are crying out that the de-
struction of this system is their sole issue
in the present campaign.
To replace its pleasant and solid reali-
ties they offer laboring men, commercial
men, and the farming interests of the
country nothing but theory theory
of Free Trade. Worse still, what they offer
is an untried theory here. 1t has never
been a matter of practice in this land.
This nation has become mighty and
prosperous beyond any other nation I'M
der the protective system, being the only
first-class power in the world that is pay
ing its way.
And the Democracy is attempting to
persuade labor to turn away from the
system which has produced this con-
dition, and adopt in its place system
which in all other lands has degraded
labor and sunk it to the level of pauper-
ism. Do American workmen desire to
risk change? Will they vote to exchange
the certainties of the present system for
a hollow and deceitful theory?

Now that Senator Hill has spoken in
the interests of the Democratic cause
and again vowed himself a Democrat,
we look to hear eulogies of the Senator

hitherto found language quite inadequate
to express their scorn and contempt for

On third page last week we gave, in a
brief note, the death of the Rev. Judah
Dana, a gentleman well known to many
of our people. From an exchange we
copy the following: "ReY. Prof. Judah
Dana died at his home in West Rutland
on Thursday afternoon of paralysis,
aged 10 years. Although feeble, he had
no particular ailment until Saturday
last, when he was shocked by paralysis.
Judah Dana was born in Pomfret, Wind

SON of Isaac Dana and a great-grandson
of Gen. Israel Putnam of Revolutionary
fame. He graduated at Dartmouth in
the class of 1916. After graduation he
devoted himself to the profession of
teaching. He was head master of the
high school at Woodstock for ten years,
also at Windsor for ten years and ter
years at Rutland. Afterward he was
