FLAG PRESENTATION.
THE JUNIOR ORDER UNITED
AMERICAN MECHANICS
HONORS THE ANNIVERSARY OF
COM. PERRY'S VICTORY.
Prof. A. G. Bagnall OF New London Deliv-
ers Patriotic Address to an Attent-
i've eAudience-A Flag Present.
ed N. Primary School.

The Junior Order United American Me-
chanics made their first appearance before
the public at the opera house Saturday
evening to present a flag TO the north pri-
mary school and celebrate the anniversary
Of Perry's victory on Lake Erie with an
appropriate address and good music. Wis
iting brethren were present from New
London, Sullivan, Norwalk, Elyria and
Medina. The stage was tastefully deco
rated and seated with officers Of the order,
speakers, and directors of the union
schools.
The meeting was opened with prayer
by Rev. A. G. Wall, followed by selections
on the piano by Arthur Roser, Miss Bessie
Eidt and Miss Yoder. The chairman
then stated the object Of the meeting
and introduced Prof. A. G. Bagnall, of
New London, who had been invited 10 de-
liver the address of the evening.
The professor commenced his address
by portraying beautiful picture Of the
White City, showing that the United States
Of America, although the junior in years,
was able to produce one of the grandest
exhibitions yet known to the world. He
referred to our agricultural and mineral
resources, also TO church and school priyi-
leges, which overtopped all others, He
said that other nations were equally well
equipped for these productions, but theiI
form of government had tendency 10
check advancement rather than encourage
it. The speaker then devoted short time
to the one that discovered this glorious
land, and it almost appeared TO him tina,
he mus. have been possessed OF divine in.
spiratlon to see in his imagination an un.
discovered land across the sea. His address
showed thought and careful preparation
and the order is to be congratulated upon
its wise selection for the occasion. The
house was we'll filled and the strictest at
tention was given during the entire ad
dress.
Prof. r. II. Kinnson then received thC
flag from the order and presented 1t to the
school. Miss Ettie West, with about
twenty-five of her scholars, was called Il
the stage and received 1t with few well
chosen remarks.
The Junior Order United American Me
chanics, No. 276, was organized here June
| 1, 1902, and soon gained membership oi
fifty. ut is neither labor, partisan moi
sectarian organization. 1t is purely pat
, riotic and benevolent institution, existing
for the protection Of Americans anC
American institutions, and the promulga
tion Of spirit Of patriotism among thu
youth Of today. 1t is not bigoted in ii
beliefs and principles, as many seem u
imagine, but is friendly 10 all good citi
zens, whatever their creed or birth. Low
of country and the protection of Its inter
ests is the platform upon which the orde
! stands, and invites all who are OF the sam,
mind to enter It's rapks."
Everything was done to make the meet
ing success, and the members deserY,
great credit for presenting the flag to tn
school and furnishing an entertainment o
, such high order.

THE WELLINGTON FAIR.

I've Travelled nigh all over,
From Mexico to Maine;
Have been abroad to Europe,
And hope to 20 again.
The pyramids I've gazed upon.
And seen a polar bear,
But the greatest, grandest spectacle
Is I.E wv
Our
Wellington
r# Fair.
You talk about the "Continony."
st. Peters church, at Rome,
The Champs Eliza" Of the French,
st. Paul's enormous dome.
I've seen parades in London
0fmany big Lord Mayor,
But, sakes aliyel they amt mark
To
Our
Wellington
Fair.
On many naval rendezvous
And military parade
I've looked In wond erment until
My eyes would dim and fade;
And In the tower Of London
I've seen the jewels rare,
But never saw such cows and sheep
As
At
Wellington
Fair.
The pumpkins, geel As big as sheepl
Tomatoesl Onions! Cornl
And apples red and homemade bread
As soft as babes just born.
And tasteless taffy on stick,
And oh, that loving pair
Who spend their country honeymoon
At
Our
Wellington
Fair.
You talk about societyi
I'll make heavy bet
You never saw society,
Unless you've seen "our set"
All dressed in green and pink and blue,
With hay-seed In their hatr,
Achieving gum and "swappin" some
At
Our
Wellington
Fair.
Old England may be tonier,
New Yorkers more refined,
Chicago, perhaps, is windier.
And Boston has more mind:
But when you come to think OF it
I'll tell you on the square
That only Heaven compares at all
With
Wellington
Fair.

UNDOUBTEDLY ABDUCTION.


DIontpelier AEog over the DiSappear-
ancc of the Blanchard Girls.
MONTPELIER, March 90. 1t looks as
though clear case OF abduction had oc-
CURED here, and it is causing much talk.
Some three years ago the wife OF William
Blanchard suddenly left his bed and board
and later was discovered in Massachusetts,
Since that time a divorce bill has frequently
been mentioned on the Washington County
Court dockets.
Mr.. Blanchard, now senior partner of
Blanchard a. Blackall, tnsmiths, has dur
ing most Of the time since his wife's deser-
ton cared for his two little girls, now aged
8 and 10 year respectively, and resides on
Court street.
When he went home for dinner Yesterday
noon he missed his children. 1t was soon
discovered that Mrs. Blanchard. who has
been in this section for some two weeks
past, bad secretly watched as Mr.. Bianch-
ard went to his shop in the morning, en-
tered the house and taken the children
away. He did not discover where, but a
letter in the posto1ce said that she had
taken them to Waterbury but would return
soon.
Latest developments to-day show that she
asked the conductor for ticket TO Boston,
obtaining Que to Wells River, aud that she
is now without doubt in Boston with the
children.
No action has yet been taken to bring
them back, but new developments are soon
expected.

sHeATHlNG OUR WAR SHIPS.


Tho Efficiency of Our Navy Would be
Vastly Increased Thereby.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-The question
Of sheathng our naval vessels is one TO
which Secretary Herbert it is said prom
lses to give earnest consideration. Naval
Constructor Hichborn has prepared impor-
liant data on the subject. He shows that
the Atlanta on her trial trip with clean
bottom, attained a speed of - D knots an
hour, with 3345 horse power, while the Bos-
ton, her duplicate, with comparatively
foul bottom, made but 13.S knots on $3.50
horse power.
Constructor Hichborn says the impor-
lance OF the preservation of the bottoms of
steel vessels from corrosion and fouling
is COZ tinually emphasized by the reports of
loss Of speed and increased coal consumption
received from our new unsheathed steel YES
sells now in commission. Unless our cruisers
are to be confined to cruises of short dura-
ton in the neighborhood OF our own ports
1t would appear that they are deficient in a
most important quality, the ability to main
tain high speed at sea for long periods.
Advices received by the bureau of con-
struction from abroad show that France,
England, Italy, Russia and Germany favor
sheathing of naval vessels and do SO extern
siyely. That shsathiDg can be successfully
applied to a metal ship while in the course
Of construction Is demonstrated by the fact
that a large number OF that class of vessels
built since 1865 are still in existence and
have served
In Extended and Repeated Comm IS O as
The additional expense incurred in put
ling on the sheathing of wood and copper lie
In realty great saving during the lifetime
of the ship, as it obyiates the necessity of
frequent docking and the largely increased
coal bills when tue metal bottom is foul
For a vessel like the Chicago the cost would
be between $500 and $500 for docking alone
To this sum mnst be added about $1,000 for
scraping and painting, In Great Britain,
competition has brought the charges for
private docks down to u minimum, but the
docks in India, China, Australia and on the
Pacific coast are very expensive.
Capt. Hichborn recommends that ali
cruising vessels intsdsd for general service
In foreign waters be sheathed, if above 1000
tons displacement, and that vessels of less
than 1000 tons displacement intended for
general service guu boats, etc, be of "a com
posite construction with steel framing, wood
outside planking and copper sheathing.

CLAIMS GETTING STALE.
Judge Wheeler Dismisses Bills Against
the Defunot st. Albans Bank.

NneeIer
the Defunot st. Adams Bank.
Judge Wheeler of the United States Cir
cult Court has delivered his opinion In three
of the cases arising from the failure OF the
First National bank of St. Adams. In two
Of the cases, namely: st. Luke's church VS..
Chester w. Writer'S, receiver, and h. A..
Sowles, executor, VS.. c. w, Writers, re-
ceiver, and George Bremmer, the bills were
dismissed, aud in the case Of Susan Is.
Sowles VS.. president OF the national bank
of st. Albans, g. w. Writer'S, receiver, Ed
ward A. Sowles and Margaret d. Sowles,
the bill was dismissed as to the defendant,
Writer'S, and the residue of the cause re-
manded to the Court of Chancsry Of the State
from which 1t was removed. In the latter
case Judge Wheeler gives a lengthy opinion,
and concludes with these words: "ln view
Of these dates and circumstances, this claim
| seems quite STALE Henry A. Burt aud E..
A. Sowlas were counsel for the oratrix, and
G. w. Writers per Sc.
II no further proceedings are instituted
by the Sowles, the st. Adams bank suits
| will be eliminated from the docket
of this court at its May term.
Several cases in which the the defunct bank
was involved, have been pending for some
eight years. Providing al appeal Is not
taken in the cases this will also practically
close all litigation of the bank and the re-
ceiver will he able to wind up the affairs in
a short time.

the United States would be comparatively
valueless from the necessity of frequent
docking. Six months is about the limit of
efficiency at sea for the unsheathed ship,
while the periods for which ship with a
sheatbing may keep tho sea without suffer
ing any diminuton in efficiency is prsoti-
callv unIimited.
