THINGS THEATRICAL.

Weather that seemed to prophesy an
amateur forty days flood rather thinned
the audience that witnessed Charles r.
Hanfords performance of "Virginius"
last night at the Columbia Theater,
though it appeared to have no effect in
dampening the enthusiasm of dose vino
were present. The offering was applaud
ed almost continuously, nearly every line
being followed with an outburst of audi
BILE approval, while the really good work
of the players came in for a generous
share of appreciation and approval. In
the title role-a part generally acted much
as though it belonged to Bowery melo-
drama-Mr. Hanford was seen to great
advantages. Robust and powerful to look
upon, he is erinently qualified for such
characterization, and the manner in
which he read the lines given him proved
that physical merit was not his only
strength. Moderation was the keynote of
the portrayal. and its result was dignity
and reserve force seldom noted in ''Vir-
ginius." Richard Buhler was a delightful
Icilius and Marie Drofnah as charming
and true a Virginia as one could have
wished. The Appius Claudius of Frank
Hennig deserved commendation, too for
its weight and depth, while Mary Tim
hermann did well as Servia. The re-
mainder of the cast was notably good.

To Honor Distinguished vermonter.

The memory of a famous Vermonter
will be honored next Monday with the I'M
yelling of a me nument to the late Richard
NJ. Hunt, the distinguished architect, in
Central Park, New York city. The me-
mortal consists of granite and marble
bench, semi circular in form adorned with
marble bust of Mr.. Hunt oy French, and
it stands directly opposite the Lenox
library, one of the architects most famous
works. The idea of erecting a monument
to Mr.. Hunts memory is said to have or
iginated with the Municipal Art society of
New York, but the movement has had the
cooperation of the National Academy of
Design, the trustees of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, the society of American
Artists, and various other art organiza-
tions. The monument is to be presented
to the city of New York by George B.
Post, president of the American Institute
of Architects and the Fine Arts Confeder-
alton, and it will be unveiled on the ami
versary of Mr.. Hunts birth in Brattleboro,
October 81, 1928.
1t is fitting that this tribute should be
paid to the genius and character of Mr..
Hunt; for he created some of the most
noteworthy structures of his period. In
addition to the Lenox library he designed
the pedestal for the Bartholdi Statue of
Liberty, the Administration building at
the Columbian exposition in Chicago, the
Fret Presbyterian hospital, the New FORK
Tribane building, the famous residence of
Mr.. w. X. Vanderbilt, the Marquand
chapel at Princeton and the Scroll and
Key bUilding at Yale university. He is
credited with having exerted an important
influence in the elevation of American
architecture, and he was largely instru-
mental in the founding of the American
Institute of Architects. His skill and
genius made him famous on the other side
of the Atlantic, and he received marked
honors from abroad, among them the
Queens gold medal of the Royal Institute
of British Architects and the cross of the
Legion of Honor. Throughout his sue
cessful and brilliant career he ever re-
mained proud of his native commonwealth,
and the state which he did so much to
honor will continue to pay grateful tribute
to his deeds and to his memory Burling-
ton Free Press.

Shall We Have AN Insurance Commits
sIOaeT!


l.. S. Hayes of Bellows Falls, in an arti-
Gle printed elsewhere, makes q very strong
and complete statement in favor of the
bill now before the legislature to place the
insurance interests of the state in charge
of single expert commissioner. The OBJ
lection to this bill, which naturally arises,
is that it creates new state department,
and new saared Office. In most cases
thie objection would be valid and would
be controlling because of the extra outlay
involved. But it appears to be entirely
clear that in this instance our insurance
interests would not only be removed from
the Indifferent oversight which they now
receive and be placed in the hands of some
trained and experienced man who would
devote his whole time TO the business of
his Office, but there would be an actual
saving to the state of nearly or quite,sl500
a year over the method now in use.
1t is entirely evident from this showing
that the proposed new law is entitled, at
the least, to a very careful and friendly
consideration by the committee in whose
hands it now rests, and that, in ease of a
favorable report, it ought not to be dis
pOced of adversely off-hand, for the sim
pie reason that j. is departure from the
method heretofore in use, and because the
present officials have very natural desire
to enjoy the fat addition to their salaries
which the present law provides.

of in another article? How many farmers
or village societies or clubs would like to
add their contributions and do it early ?
How many villages or farming communi-
ties are there whose people want to ap.
pear on the list? We look to see the larger
sums from men and women of means, in
the state and out, comparatively easy ia
get. What we want to know about is the
ten thousand small sums which must come
in freely, and without urging or drum
ming, if the movement is to be a success
and have any real meaning.

The United States supreme court gave
decision Monday in the Joint Traffic asso-
citation case against the railroads and in
favor of the United States. When the
Joint Traffic association was formed the
ablest railway lawyers in the country be-
lieved they had succeeded in framing an
agreement to regulate rates and railway
traffic that would stand the test of the in
terstate commerce law and the antitrust
law. With the decision of the supreme
court their carefully erected fabric crum-
bles to dust and the two laws stand on the
statute books vital and in full force. On
account of the enormous interests involved
the case is one of the most important that
has come before the court in many years.
1t IS held by the court that the purpose
and effect of the association is to prevent
competition, and in its opinion, handed
down by Justice Peckham, it says: Gan
agreement of the nature of this one, which
directly and effectually stiles competition,
must be regarded under the statute as one
in restraint of trade"

Editor Beriah wilkins cabied from Paris
to the Washington Post an article on the
peace negotiations and the Cuban debt
which contained one sentence which all
Washington has been quoting: "When a
nation goes to war and is victorious, it
conquers ssets, not liabilities" Mr.. Will
kins goes on to state that Spain will in the
end back down and accept the inevitable,
and adds "My information, however, is
that she will accept the conditions; that
there will be no breaking off of negotia-
tions, and no appeal to Europe, and that
the treaty will finally be submitted for rat
iication to the American Senate, and will
be of such character as to meet the APP
proval of the great majority of American
citizens"

TEN PAG ES
BRATTLEBORO:
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2S, 1898.

If there is to be really serious purpose
to start fund for Vermont testimonial
to Admiral George Dewey there must be
proper organization for the work. Per-
act by itself, but there must be a treasurer
to have charge of the fund as a whole. 1t
will be a state movement, and the sugges-
tion that the treasurer of Vermont be
asked to take care of the money seems
therefore a good one. We hope he may
have good big sum of dewey testimo-
nial'' money to take care of-but we wait
to see. What do any of you fellows up the
state say about il? What does Dewey S
native town say about il?

should tho Vermont legislature vote a GER
tain sum to be used in making a present
of this kind to the Admiral, it would fall
far short of the plan have outlined. The
payment of taxes voted upon the people by
the legislature cannot be escaped from
but a free and spontaneous contribution by
the people means, in my judgment, an en-
tirely different and much better thing, and
1t seems to me that while Admiral Dewey
will always treasure the vote of thanks ex-
Aended to him by his native state and the
government, and also the magnificent
sword that the Nation presents to him, a
gift from his old friends and brother Yer
monters would mean quite another thing
to him. believe he would esteem it more
highly than any other honor that he may
Tpceiven

The Second Massachusetts regiment,
which had the most conspicuous and the
most trying experience of any volunteer or
ganization in the Santiago campaign, is
being mustered out of the service this
week Several men were killed at FL
Caney and large number wounded, but
the greatest suffering came from diseases
brought on by exposure and privations.
The three Springfield companies lost Ii
men, the Holyoke company six, North
ampton company II, Greenfield company
IA, Adams company Q, Grange company
II. The Gardner company and the Wor-
cester companies sustained some loss, but
did not suffer as severely as those reported.
The boys of the Second will always be
honored for their bravery and soldierly
bearing.

The Original Suggestion, Backed Up by
Check for 500.
New YORK. Sept. 10. lS9S.

New YORK, Sept. 10, 1898.
Editor The Vermont PhGHir:
Dear Sir:-When on May lst last the
cannon of the American fleet in Manila
bay ceased to roar, there had been wrought
under the direction of Vermont man
changes so great and dfar-reaching that even
today no one can correctly estimate all of
them. A great victory had been glorious
ly won, and any doubt as to the superiori-
ty of our navy dispelled by the American
gunner who proved that he still remained
the greatest of sea fighters. From that
epoch-marking date this country assumed
its proper place in the respect of foreign
nations, and later events have only served
to enhance that conclusion.
The great commander, whose brief but
comprehensive instructions were: "Keep
perfectly cool and pay attention to nothing
but ORDERS" won immortal renown on that
memorable Sunday morning, buthe haaadd-
ed to it by the distinguished services he has
rendered his country since that time and
which Americans everywhere heartily ap-
plaud. He is not yet through, but the fact
that "Dewey is there" is enough. Such a
man cannot be localized. He belongs to
the Nation; his fame to the world
Nevertheless, believing that Vermonters
both at home and abroad feel a special
pride in him and would, if the chance was
offered, show it in substantial manner, it
has seemed 20 me that magnificent sword
incorporating emblems of his native Yer
mont (or any other gifD would be quite
proper and desirable.
Let fund be started to which the peo-
pie may contribute; the amounts may be
small provided the total is large. With
the idea of starting such fund enclose
to you herewith my check for 500.
Yours truly, A. NJ. WRIGHT.

George Dewey's wisdom and Bravery.

George Dewey's Wisdom and Bravery.
Prof. Ira Nelson Hollis in November Atlantic
The situation at Manila was very simple.
Upon the declaration of war, Admiral
Dewey was turned out of Hong Kong by
Great Britain, and all other Asiatic ports
were closed TO him. He was 1000 miles
from home, distance which none of his
ships could make without re-coaliug, and
his line Of communication was liable to in
terruption at any time. Furthermore, the
safety of our Pacific coast trade was in
jeopardy so long as a hostile vessel re-
mained in the Orient. The duty was a
plain one-to obtain base in the Philip
pines, and to capture or destroy every
Spanish ship that could be found. With
rare good judgment, Admiral Dewey
made straight for Manila, and caught the
whole fleet before they had time to scatter
He had already proven himself to be a
man OF foresight by loading up with pro-
visions and coal before war was declared.
When the English told him to 90 he was
ready. His fleet passed through the
fortified entrance If Manila bay by night,
and attacked the ships and shore batteries
| simultaneously. The victory over what
must be conceded to have been weak and
! disorganized foe, although gun for gun
there was not much difference in the two
sides, was great one in the splendid man
agement of the American ships and in the
results which must flow from our en-
forced entrance into Asiatic politics.
There was not an armored ship on
either side, and the battle sheds little
light upon construction for the future
We know that the Spaniards suffered fear
fully from fire, and that our ships escaped
with little damage. No victory was ever
purchased more cheaply; not man wa:
killed on the American side.
