An Old Document and Coincidence.
Rev. Edward p. Lee of Island Pond
has IN his possession a curious old docu-
ment which came to him through Mrs.
Calvin Morrill,, his aunt, who recently
died. The document consists of ieuten-
ants commission in the Vermont State
militia, dated Sept. 4, 1915, and signed
by Martin Chittenden, then governor, to
John Lee. Lieut.. Lee was mustered into
service by Lieut.. Col. r. w. Fenton on
the same date. On Jan. %, 1919, Lieut..
Lee was discharged from service by the
same X. w. Fenton, who had in the
meantime been promoted to brigadier
general, On the back of the document
are the signatures of both John Lee and
II. w. Fenton. There Is very curious
coincidence connected with these sigma
lures. Edward b. Lee, to whom the
document will descend, being the son of
Edward P. Lee, is the only male des-
cendant in the fourth generation In direct
line from John Lee, being, of course, his
great grandson. He is also great
gradson of r. w. Fenton, his mother
being a granddaughter of the latter.
That is, Edward p. Lee, grandson of
John Lee, 81 years after the date of the
document, married Permelia U. Brown,
a granddaughter of X. w. Fenton.

Louis De Goesbriand. 'Bi-hop of burlington.
The ri. Rev. Louis De Goesbriand, ID.
d.. bishop of the diocese of Burlington,
whose death was mentioned in last
weeks REGISTER, was the oldest Catho-
lie bishop in the United States, being SO
years OF age and having been ordained
80 years. He was born at st. Urban, in
the diocese of Juniper, in the Catholic
province of Brittany, France. He was
ordained to the priesthood in Paris, July
16, 1910, and, devoting himself to the
American mission, came to the diocese
of Cincinnati, where he exercised the
ministry from September, 1910, to
October, 1917. On the erection of the
diocese of Cleveland, Bishop Rappe
made the Rev. Mr.. DE Goesbriand his
vicar-general and rector of his cathedral,
which positions he discharged zealously
until 1858, when he was ordained bishop
in New York by Cardinal Bedini. He
was Immediately made bishop of the
newly erected see of Burlington. In
1858 Bishop De Goesbriand was in at
tendance at the session Of the Vatican
council in Rome, when several important
der consideration. His next visit to the
pope was made in June, 1893, when he
had conference with Pope Leo XIII,
and was honored in a manner that has
never fallen to any other bishop in this
country. He was on his way to Jeru-
salem, and, while in audience with the
Pope, was promised one of the links of
the true chain of st. Peter, which is one
of the most sacred of all the possessions of
the Pope. Upon his return from Jeru-
salem the link was presented to him,
and he brought it to Burlington, where
it is now kept sacred possession. 1t is
the only link of the chain in this country.
In 1892 Bishop De Goesbriand, on
account of i'll health, requested that a
coadjutor bishop be appointed. In ac-
cordance with his request, on June 30
the Rev. j. S. Michaud was appointed
coadiutor, and since that time Bishop
De Goesbrand has done no active work
in the diocese.

OLD SPANISH CANNON.
Antiquated Brass Guns From Cuba
as Relics.

AT the end of the war with Spain a
Wall street company purchased from
the Spanish Government 500 old brass
cannon. They are antiquated guns,
taken from Havana MORO Castle and
Cabanas, and We're not used during the
war. The lot included guns weighing
from 500 to 5000 pounds and dating
from ITO to 1915. They were brought
from Havana to the Erie Basin, Brook
lyn, in January. Since that time, more
than two-thirds of them have been
sold. Mr. Lissberger, one of the firm,
said to-day that out of the 1,OO0 600
pounds bought, only about 300 600
pounds remain on hand.
They have gone to private persons,
parks, schools. and museums said the
owner. Men with country estates
have bought them for their artistic
value, they said, as we'll as for relics.

Der to the Fairmount Park Art Associa-
tion at Philadelphia. The Pratt Insti-
tute of Brooklyn took some; and we
have shipped number to foreign coun-
tries, purchased for museums by agents
in this country, and sent away quiet
ly. We do not know where they went !;
we only know that they were bought
and paid for. We loaded them on
lighters, but don't know to what ships
they were taken. l think some went
to Germany, however.
1--WE bought the lot at auction, and
the sale was at first protested by the
United States Government. 1t was
claimed that the cannon. being taken as
prizes of war, could not be sold by the
Spanish Government. But the commits
sion sent down to Cuba by the Presi-
dent looked into the case, and decided
that, under a certain provision of the
protocol, which was in force then, they
could be retained as movable property,
being obsolete for the purposes of war
The President was finally appealed to,
and he ordered another sale, sustain
ing the decision of the commission"

that none had been bought for keeping

Her Luncheon Aboard the Raleigh

A young miss who visited the Raj
eigh on Sunday became very much in
terested in the galley, where the Off
GERS dinner was being prepared. There
were men of four nationalities-a
Swede, Frenchman. Jap and a
Chinaman-engaged in the work. Call
ing the Swede to her side, she asked
him for small piece of bread or some
thing of the sort for a souvenir. The
man looked at her with surprise for
moment, and then went over and con-
suited with the others. Then all took
turn at glancing at the girl, and fin
ally the Swede, with an indulgent smile,
secured a large plate and heaped it
full with big piece of steak, a gener-
Gus lot of mashed potatoes and some
bread, which he brought to her with
the remark in broken English to the
effect that the Raleigh sailor boys would
not see a beautiful American girl go
hungry. The young woman was very
much embarrassed at this interpreta-
ton of her request, but she ate a por-
ton of the dinner. and after securing
the bread as a souvenir rewarded the
sailor in turn with college pin, which

Song Of the Summer Girl.

You talk about some maiden fair,
With alabaster brow,
Her face like snowdriftS soft and rare
As poets oft allow;
Your parian, pentelic maid
Admire her, We who can;
My choice is for a darker shade,
The girl of healthy tan!
The neck they liken to the swan,
The goose has, quite as true;
The maid with ivory forehead on
May have a blockhead, too;
But nut-brown damsels are the thing
For me or any man.
The summer girls the one L sing,
The girl with glowing TAM
The snow-white pallor some admire
Cold hands and feet forte1:
The marble browS they so admire
Mean marble hearts as well;
Give me the warm, fresh blood that flows
On natures freest plan,
The wholesome look, the eye that glows
The girl with summer tan!

"The Weather Hen, recently acted in
London at a matinee and later pro-
duced in regular theatrical fashion,
proved to be a curious compound of
Ibsen and farce. 1t mystified the audi
ence somewhat, but derived vitality
from the technical experience of the
two actors who wrote it. The heroine,
whose nature was presumably indicated
by the title, was an actress who loved
one man, married another, eloped with
third, got a divorce from the first and
returned ultimately to the freedom of
stage life, where she was no longer
worried by the question of matrimony.
One of her affinities was an actor, an
other playwright and the third a
youth in his teens.
An English actor thought himself
damaged by criticism of his perform
ance and brought suit by law The
Judge decided that the jury had better
see the actor. But the play in which
he had been condemned was not to be
put in evidence. Indeed, the critics
lawyer claimed that it made no differ
ence, as the actor was equally bad in
all parts. The Judge thought this in
cluded a prejudice on the critics part,
and fined him farthings. The actor
had to pay the costs of the action,
which amounted to considerably more.

religion is of prime consequence in ev-

when the church is passing from the
letter to the spirit. the religious senti-

much engaged the attention of the
world"

to progress that needs to be most
