The c. A. r. Encampment.

Along miles of bunting and amid hun
dreds of thousands of cheering citizens,
without lines of sectiOnalism or old feel
ings of rancor between the hosts of the
North and South, the Veterans of the
Grand Army of the Republic marched
once more Wednesday on friendly South
ern soil. The general estimate is that
100000 people saw the great parade
which. apart from the terrible caisson
accident, was success.
Commander Lawler estimated that
there were $4,000 veterans in line, MAX
ing it the largest parade held in five
years.
The heat was intense. A large num-
Der of those in the parade was overcome,
and the ambulance corps was kept busy.
The Grand Army's membership in

report, was 371.5j9

The Casino.

EDITOR BENNINGTON BANNER:-I un-
derstand that IN addition to the numer-
Gus attractions already at the Casino,
there is soon to be built theatre, where
the young and the old, male and female,
can be entertained by travelling artists OF
the theatrical profession; and in view OF
this prospective enterprise l am in
formed that our trustees are earnestly
solicited to grant to the Electric railroad
company the right to lay track through
Main street. in our village, from the de-
pot to the eastern boundary of our cor
poratiOn, for the accommodation OF the
vast throng of theatre going people of
our town.
| have no doubt our Trustees will
look carefully after the best interests of
the people of our village for whose well
fare they are supposed to have watch
full care, before granting right of way to
an outside corporation to furnish better
facilities to class of our citizens for
spending the Scant wages they earn, IN
visiting entertainments (Of at least a
questionable moral character) that
should go for bread and other actual
necessities to support life.
The writer once knew family IN this
town consisting of father, mother and
at least half a dozen children some
what dependent upon charity,
whose propensity for attending all
shows that came to town was prOverbial.
Once on a time circus was advertised
to exhibit in Bennington. From that
time fol ward the head of this family was
greatly exercised as to how he could
raise money enough to enable them all
to receive such benefits as usually emil
nate from an entertainment of this kind,
and up to the day before the show was
to open, the good father had not been
able to see his way clear how to accom-
plish what the whole family so much de.
sired.
A happy thought came to the father
and mother that they would sell their
cooking stove and from the avails they
could procure the necessary tickets OF
admission, this they did and the whole
family enjoyed the circus, and the father
hired a second. hand cook stove to keep
house with. We still have people of the
same class in our midst Query: Shall
they have better facilities for spending
their earnings or shall the want of them
leave possibility that their children
shall be better clothed and fed and the
honest tradesman of our town for valu-
able considerations, get few of the
shillings that would otherwise go to
the travelling fakir. CITIZEN.
Bennington, Sept. II, 1895.
Our trustees have acted, and acted
wisely. The "Belt Line" scheme
will have to be abandoned.

principal substance of their speeches.
The pronounced attitude of the assem-
bled multitude on this subject places in
ridiculous position those Democratic
journals that have appealed for some
other issue, "a newer" "a less thread
wOrn," "a more interesting issue than
the tariff for the next presidential cam
paign. 1t demonstrated the fact that in
Ohio, protection will be the abso"bingis-
sue; hat upon its flimsy record toward
merican industries will the Democratic
party stand or fall in that State. And
every prospect is that it will fall with an
extremely dull thud. Another significant
feature was the lie that Senator Sher.
man and Gov. Mckinley gave the Demo
cratic journals that have attempted to
create the impression that strong fac
tional quarrels existed among these lead
ers; that Mckinley would knife Foraker
in his fight for the senatOrship, and that
Sherman was secretly attempting to Sc
cure the Ohio delegation to the National
convention from Mckinley for himself.
But these lice were nailed, for Mckinley
emphatically declared that Foraker
should be, anu will be, the next senator
from Ohio, and Sherman was equally
strong in his declarations in favor of
Mckinley. Harmony of the kind that
unites all in one common cause was
there, and was of the kind that begets
the big Ohio majorities.

Lemuel E. Quigg has resigned his seat
in Congress in order that he may give his
undivided attention to his newspaper,
the New York Press, probably on the
ground that it is better to be the editor
of great newspaper than to occupy a
seat in Congress as a novice among large
and experienced men. Nevertheless Mr..
Quigg, during his short life as a congress-
man, made an excellent showing and had
he chosen to remain in Congress would
undoubtedly have made his mark as
statesman. Quiggs district was for
merly Democratic, and in 1892 District
Attorney Fellows was elected to Con-
gress by nearly 5000 majority. On the
resignation of Fellows, in January, 1894,
to become district attorney, Quigg was
elected over Democratic opponent by a
majority of 949. The district can now
be safely set down in the Republican col
umn. Quigg's successor will be elected
in November.

Word From wanamaker.

II do the heaviest advertising in dull
times" says John Wanamaker, in writ
ing on that subject. Then it is when
people look most keenly for bargains,
and are anxious to know how much
things cost, and when they can save
money. 1 advertise particular things,
give prices and take as much pains with
my announcements as do with my
stock. One big dinner won't keep up
the reputation of the house-but steady,
good cooking does it, | never permit
interest in my announcement to lag, and
never miss an issue in my chosen publ
cations. Advertising has made my store
one of the largest in the country"

The regatta committee of the New
York Yacht club rendered decision
Monday evening sustaining Mr.. Iselin's
protest against Valkyrie, and awarding
Tuesdays race to Defender giving her
the first two races. Strong efforts were
made by the committee to bring about
mutual agreement to resail the race, but
Lord Dunraven and Mr.. Iselin insisted
upon judgement on the protest. This
left the committee only two things to do,
to decide that Valkyrie fouled Defend
er that Defender fouled Valkyrie. 1t
was clearly apparent that the accident
was the fault of the Valkyrie, either in
tentionally or due to carelessness.
Though the Defender was delayed sever
al minutes by the accident, she was but
fOrty-seven seconds behind at the finish,
clearly emitting her to the race. Yester-
day the third race was started The
British yacht Immediately upon crossing
the starting line. turned about and the
Defender sailed the course alone and was
awarded the race. The action of Dun
raven was fOres hadowed by letter, just
made pub lie, written by him to the Race
Committee. He stated that unless the
future races were run off Marblehead,
Mass, he would refuse to compete, as
the tugs and exclusion boats were so
numerous offsSandy Hook as to serious
ly interfere with the racing, The COM
mittee cou d OF grant the request,
hence Dunraven's refusal to race. The
cup now remains on this side for anoth-
er season at least. The action of Lord
Dunraven is a great disappointment to
American yachtsman. His previous
conduct, last year and this, had won for
him their admiration. He was regarded
as a true sportsman, willing to abide by
agreed conditions and to fight as long as
there was hope. In all probability he
recognized the superiority of the rival
boat and rather than risk another defeat
preferred to withdraw behind some ex-
cuse. There was not boat within a
mile of the Valkyrie yesterday when the
time came to start the race, nor did any
tug or excursion steamer interfere with
her before the start. Every boat of the
small excursion fleet which was down off
Sandy Hook lIghtship got up steam and
ran away as if the Valkyrie headed for
her. There was no disposition on the part
of any steamboat captain to get close to
the racers. 1t was evident long before the
preparatory signal was given that the
Valkyrie did not intend to cross the line.
The defender, crippled by the Valkyrie,
protested on Tuesday, but sailed the
race. The Valkyrie, fit as fiddle, pro-
tested yesterday and refused to 60 over
the course. Her master, the craven
challenger, had lowered her colors in a
fit of British spleen.

OPERA HOUSE ANNOUNCEMENTS

OPERA HOOcE IN " W ~ CEMEN .
At the Opera House next Monday
will appear the famous "tank' drama,
"Lost in New York." one of the most
elaborate of all the realistic productions
The play is from the pen of the well
known American dramatst, Mr.. Leon
ard Grover, who wrote many successes,
among them being "Our Boarding
House" in which Robson and Crane made
their first success Lost in New York"
was originally produced at Days Thea
ter, New York, under another title and
made great success. When the great
water scene was introduced, the name
was changed to "LOst in New York"
and the title is considered by many well
informed managers to be bad, for it
would lead the people who had never
seen the play to class it with the blood
and thunder dramas, which it is not.
1t is entirely free from "clap trap" and
mock herOics and contains pretty story
full of heart interest. The characters
are all natural and the situations not
overdrawn. The company carries two
car loads of beautiful new scenery paint
ed by Mr.. Arthur Voegtler, of the Mddi-
son Square Theatre, New York, includ-
ing the following settings; The East

Orders have been issued by Secretary
Harbert detaching Capt Sumner of the
Navy the command of the Columbia.
The relief of Capt. Sumner justifies the
belief that the officer has received quite
severe sentence. No information of
the result of the trial is given out at the
department, but it is generally under
stood that the court found him guilty on
some of the specifications and that he
has been sentenced to suspension for a
short period, probably not longer than a
year. with loss of numbers during the
time of suspension. He was court mar
tailed for neglect of duty, incompetency,
carelessness, etc. The cruiser was
docked in London. Owing to lack of
proper supervision by Capt. Sumner, the
work was carelessly done, resulted in
straining the vessel. 1t was charged
that he should not have allowed the yes
sci to be improperly placed in the dock;
that hen the error was discovered, the
vessel should have been Immediately
foated, and that as the work was unsat.
isfactory it should not have been paid
for Captain Sumner was a young naval
officer during the war, and for gallantry
in actions was several times promoted,
and received high Communications from

in those days fails to excuse any care
lessness in the performance of his re-
sponsibilities of the present, yet in his
unfortunate situation he receives general
