around.

Case Where Army Discipline was
| Triumphant.
| The comnandant of certain division
Of the British army in India some years
ago having q very considerable degree of
authority vested in him, and perceiving
that his command included many men
who were illterate, issued an order that
one of the Younger heutenants should be
detailed in each regiment to teach SOL
diers who could not read or write. In
each regiment, therefore, an officer was
duly detailed for this purpose. In the
Two Hundredth the man assigned to
this duty was Lieutenant Beacham, a
young officer who had just joined the
regiment.
After taking the Introductory steps as
regimental schoolmaster Beacham came
to the colonel one day with a significant
smile on his face.
Il have to report, he said, ''that there
is not single illiterate in the Two Hun
dredth. Every man has been to school
in England, and every one of them can
read and write perfectly we'll"
The colonel, who was an unbending
DID martinez, frowned severely.
NO matter, said he. "Orders are or
ders, and must be obeyed. You must
| teach the illiterates of this regiment"
But there are no illiterates!"
"Never mind You will organize some
at once"
But how am l going to make
them"-
mo further questions, Mr.. Beacham.
shall issue an order to the captains of
Companies A, B and G to detail five men
from each company to act as illiterates,
and you will give them daily instruction
in the alphabet"
The colonel's order was issued at once.
Fifteen soldiers Of the Two Hundredth
were detailed as lliterates Once day
they were march ID out upon the parade,
with primers" in their hands of the
same sort from which they had studied
in school many years before, and were
gravely taught their letters by young
Lieutenant Beacham, though the alpha
| bet was as familiar to them as it was
| to him, or to the commanding general
! himself
The soldiers of The regiment had gath
cred about and enjoyed the scene.
After this pleasing farce had been
going on for several days, the colonel
strolled up one day to the place where
'Beacham's Babies as the regiment
called the Hitter; tie detachment" were
reciting their lessons.
"Mr. Beacham, he asked, sis your
class making favorable progress"
every favorable, indeed" said the
lieutenant, saluting
"The men are now able to read and
write:"
Perfectly we'll"
"You are able t. report, then, that
your duty is fully accomplished
Il am"
! "Then an order will be issued terEnin-
ating the detail and returning the men
to their duty"
Thus the ''illiterates" of the Two Hun
dredth were no longer called upon to
take daily instructions in their A, B, C's;
but it was many months before their
comrades ceased to rally them in quar-
tiers upon their school going. s

First Annual Reunion and Roll-Call
of me Cnristian Cnnrch.

What might be termed a reunion and
roll-call OF the members of the First
Christian Church, was held in the after
noon and evening on New Years Day in
the church auditorium and vestry. This
is a new venture in the church work, and
considering the difficulties attending it,
it was a success far beyond all anticipa-
ton, so that, il is safe to say, that il is an
established feature OF the church. The
main object of the gathering was to have
a roll-call of the members. A circular
letter was sent to all members, so far as
addresses could be ascertained, inviting
all to be present or send word OF greet
ing to be given in response to their names.
The members were invited 10 be present
for a social hour from 2 till p. m. Fol-
lowing this was the regular church m eet-
ing, at which was developed the fact OF
the general activity throughout the
church departments. The report of the
Sunday school Com. showed that a vast
amount of work had been done in the
complete recognizing and remodeling of
the 5. 5. Most of the teachers have been
changed and the classes reapportioned.
1t is expected by the Com. that this will
bring much new vigor into this impor-
tant factor of the church. The report of
the Com. on Finance showed that during
the past year, parsonage has been built
at an expense of $500, which added to
the cost OF chuFcn repairs, Plus current
expenses make a total in round numbers
of $1,000. The election of officers was de-
ferred until the next monthly meeting.
The business meeting was followed by the
roll-call. IS were present and responded
personally and % reported by letter max
ing a total of 105, about AZ OF the MEM
bership. This proved to be the principle
feature OF the program, as it was a spirit |
ual feast for all present. A New Years
thank offering was rendered to the a
mount Of SOS. Immediately after the roll |
call supper was served, to which all the |,
society had been invited, and over 200 sat
down to bountiful repast. Among the |
beneficial results of the meeting might be /
better acquaintance of pastor
with the people of the church and with /
The society, the fostering of a spirit of 1
harmony among the members and a re-
newal OF their covenant with God and the
church Of their choice.

Delaney & Harrington Retire in Favor of

The rumors which have been current of
late relative to a change ia proprietorship
of the Hotel Burlington eliminated yes
terday in the leasing of the hotel for a
term of five years to MessTs. X. w. Morse
and A. A. Niebaum of West Randolph and
the lessees will take possession in few
days. II is their intention to run a first
class house with moderate rates. Mr..
Morse has had an extended experience in
the hotel business and was last located at
West Randolph, where he made the Red
Lion Inn, because of its neatness and
good table fare, one of tue most popular
hotels on the line OF the Central Vermont
railroad. Travelling men, who are con-
noisseurs in the matter OF good hotels,
made IL point TO stop there over Sunday.
MIR. Morse was for some time colonel of
Vermont division of the Sons of Netei ans
MIR. Niebaum, who was until recently of
the United States Screen company at West
Randolph, IS a popular young man who
has many friends in Burlington and
throughout the State. The new firm de-
serves success.-Free Press Jan. ?, 1892.
While we regret to have Mr.. Morse
leave town we have no hesitation in pre-
dieting that he will make the Hotel Bur
hngton one of the most popular'houses in
the State. He is a born hotel man and
has the happy faculty of making every
body feel at home who stops with him.
This coupled with the fact that he has a
wife who has no equal In her department
make very strong team and renders sue
