Fellow tOwnspeOple | stand for you to-
day to accept another monument. One
hundred and two years ago to-day within
the radius of this village Abner Bailey
White Tenney first saw the light of day.
A citizen whose name does us honor, a
citizen whose long and useful career leaves
no regretful stains. A man wise and
strong enough to be leader in his home,
to stand foremost in his town, to enter
the councils of his country, gathered to
his fathers, the mortal remains of Col.
Tenney repose in yonder burying ground.
But, he has left us a legacy, an honored
name, noble daughter. Some show their
love for their departed friends by cover
ing their caskets with flowers of rare
beauty and fragrance. Others plant a
rose bush or violet on their graves, or
erect the lowly marble slab, or the i'm
posing granite monument Others re-
member their dead by invoking tangible
blessing upon the living, by erecting
monument whose spacious portals are
open for the advancement of education,
the discrimination of knowledge, and the
elevation of their fellow men, to dedicate
such a monument is the purpose OF this
meeting.
Since Martha j. Tenney sought the
privilege of erecting such monument IN

THE NEEDS OF THE LIBRARY.

/
Several persons have expressed a de-
sire to present books to the Tenney
Memorial Library if they only knew
what are most needed.
While the trustees will thankfully
accept any books likely to be offered,
it has been thought best to call atten-
ton to the departments in which the IL
brary is weakest. In the line of fiction
and travel the collection of books is
reasonably full, and there are a few
standard histories but the student of
science in any Of its branches will find
little to aid his researches.
1t needs reference works such as APP
pleton's Biographical Dictionary,
Bartlett's "Familiar Quotations.
CIarke's concordance to Shakespear. !"
and the like and more than all it needs
a good altar and dictionary.
We need works upon political econ
omy and social science, such as follow
the general plan of "The Wealth of
Nations" The library needs especial
ly works upon American history-Ban-
croft's, Parkman and Irwin; Bryce's
american Commonwealth" and the
series of histories which recount the
settlement and growth of the individ-
ltttl pOttCCo' ILOoolll9 L ltICl lDOOh vi
the Revolution" is invaluable and
should be had.
There is a present lack of works up
on botany, geology and mechanics
which should be supplied. The library
is weak in English poetry and essays.
A small library of a few hundred vol
umes open only for an hour or two in
week for the exchange of books must
contine itself to such works as all will
wish to read.
But where the same collection has a
suitable building of its own open dur
ing several days in each week it should
contain many works which only a few
will be interested in. Not many will
care for social science or political econ
omy in a community, but they who do
care are the thinkers whom it is most
desirable of all to aid, and whose wants
the library should be anxious to meet.
Those who intend to purchase books
for donation to the library, will do well
to consult the trustees as to the best
form for their liberality to take.

The scene was most impressive and
the services very simple. Her majesty
sat in the chair of state, Immediately in
front of the communion rail and just
beside the brass plate whose inscription
designated the spot which was the tenn
porary place of interment of the prince
consort
Principally at II o'clock amid the soft
strains of an organ voluntary, the queen
arrived from the cloisters at the en-
trance. Assisted by her Indian at
telrdant, she walked slowly to the chair
of state. the congregation standing. She
was dressed all in black, except for the
white tuft in her bonnet. The Empress
Frederick of Germany, attired in deep
black, took the seat at the right of the
queen, while the Duke of Connaught,
wearing his Windsor uniform, seated
himself at her left. The others seated
themselves closely behind, and looked
very like simple family Of worshipers.
The queen was profoundly moved and
the tears rolled down her cheeks. At
last, and evidently with great reluctance,
she beckoned her Indian attendant, and,
leaning on his arm, passed slowly out
of the chapel, the entire congregation
standing, the soft light falling through
the multi-colored windows, and the ex-
quisite strains of the organ rising and
swelling beneath the gothic hammered
roof.
It was a scene never to be forgotten
and thrilled all present with a strong
emotion.
There were two services at st. PauPs
cathedral, at II a. m. and at p. m.
Immense crowds filled all the ap-
proaches to the cathedral at the morn
ing service, anxious to catch a glimpse
of the royalties and distinguished per-
sOnages who were announced to be
present, including all the Protestant en-
voys. The first to arrive and to be
recognized with the greatest interest
W ere the archbishop of Finland, in
purple and black vestments, accom-
panied by two deacons, and General
Kirreef, in full uniform. Then followed
Chang Ying Huan, the Chinese envoy, in
gorgeous Celestial garments. He was
escorted to the choir, where were seated
the ENJOYS of the United States, Rus
STA, Holland, Denmark Sweden, Brazil
and Hawaii.

Diamond Jubilee Day.

when from 100 metropolitan steeples
tumultuOus peal of bells announced
diamond jubilee day. The vast crowd
that filled the miles of streets and
squares answered with ringing cheers,

The crowds that peopled the streets
and squares all night in the hope of
good view of the procession today were
amazing in their sublime patience
Waiting for H. Ia and 16 hours, as many
of these people are doing, jammed to-

the pale, careworn look of the London

on projections of buildings, on curb
stones or leaned in doorways, and the
angles made by stands. p ~eshments

had little trouble, CHEEKY good humor
being the note Of the night. During the

The Procession.
The procession was practically in three
sections as far as st. PauIs, though the
two last en- route to the cathedral were
consolidated as they moved into Picca-
dilly. The first to take up position was
the colonial procession, formed on the
embankment, and moved via the mall,
thence past the palace, where her majes-
ty viewed II from a window, over the
route to st. Paul's. The march began at
3:45 and the great cortege proved well
come relief to the waiting multitude. For
the colonies were living pictures, pre-
senting in tangible shape the growth of
the empire. the far reaching extent of
the queens sway. The procession, after
some police, was headed by an advance
party of the Royal Horse Guards. Then

Children's day was observed here
last Sunday. The church was beauti-
fully decorated with evergreens, pot
ted plants and cut flowers. An arch
of evergreen and June roses extend
ing nearly the whole length of the
front slips, adding to the beauty of the
decorations. The sermon to the chill
dren in the morning, by Rev. Mr.. Alb
ercrombie, was the simplest, best and
most comprehensive and interesting
to the child-mind, of any to which
your correspondent ever listened, and
the children were unusually attentive.
The exercises in the afternoon consist
ed of speaking and singing by the
children, singing by the children, sing
ing by the choir and an organ and vio-
lin duet entitled, Evening Song, by
Miss Nettie and Master Sherbie Tuck
er which was finely rendered.
The room in the store has been
painted and put in shape for the re-
ceptiOn of the telephone.
The parsonage has been newly paint
ed outside and in, by Mr.. Hood and
