The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1898-05-25

ing In purpose, sagacious in plans, intrepid
in action, mighty at the moment, and sure
in execution, Admiral Dewey has added
another name to Vermont's list Of great
men, and another lustrous character for the
children in our public schools to study and
emulate. Teach your pupils in these griev-
GUS and warning times, not only to honor
the flag, to love our country, to sustain its
laws, but to repress evil, to pursue happi-
ness to seek righteousness, to live nobly,
and to hasten the day of universal peace and
brotherhood In memory OF valiant heroes
now dead and in commemoration OF the sig
nal victory at Manila, you are urged on the
afternoon appointed to hold patriotic exer-
clses, and TO plant tree, or raise flag
staff, or dedicate some other material re-
minder OF the day and occasion.

OF triumph. His purity of information and
delicate phrasing and the sympathetic
quality Of his voice stamped him as an ar
fist OF the first rank, soloist whose work
| Is marvellous in its completeness. "In o
| Rest in the Lord" and 20 Paradise" Miss
| Weller was especially felicitous. She pos
sesses voice and style that delighted her
hearers, and the generous applause she re-
ceived was richly her due. Miss Dwight's
piano playing was marked by clearness Of
execution and limpidity of tone, with a
faculty to produce every possible effect.
She is delightful and clever piano player,
star whose horizon will surely widen.
w. A. Briggs presided at the organ with his
usual skill, and Miss .Weller's singing Of
two selections was made more pleasing by
violin obligatos, artistically rendered by
George e. White.
