amusement by tho dramatic manner in
which he gave his testimony. He is used

to a man well versed in law. lI' said
that there was another man with Mrs. Be

that man but have too much respect for

told a story about the other man drawing

VERMONT NATIONAL GUARD
Probably will Not be Organized in Time
For tho Celebration.

The fact that the above invitation Will
be sent to the governor Of Vermont will at
once raise the question what will he done
about sending the Vermont National
Guard to New York to take part in wei
coming Nerm ont's greatest hero to Amcri-
ca. \ little investigation reveals the fol-
lowing sentiment held by some Of tho
States most prominent men; 1t will he
almost an impossibiity TO have the Yer
mont National Guard re-organized to take
part in New Yorks celebration and the
state officials would hardly be warranted
in mourning such a large expense until the
taxpayers of the state had sanctioned il.
The sending of a body of militia to take
part il such an immense parade would
win but little distinction for the state as
the presence of the guard would be- hut Il
drop in the bucket while the presence OF a
small ana select party OF Nermonts Of
tcials would receive greater consideration
and in reality be a greater honor TO the adj
miral himself. The Vermont National Guard
probably will be reorganizcd as rapidly
as possible and then the government viii
be asked to forward equipment. This will
he done If possible before Vermont ;ive |
its reception to Admiral Dewey a, Mont
peler and the National Guard will be pre-
sent on that occasion. II is thought by
many that II will not he advisable TO at
tempt TO hold the annual muster this year
but let the presence of the troops on this
occasion take the place of muster. This
II is said will do away with the extra
expense of two meetings of the guard ard
allow the people of Vermont to show the
greatest distinction to Admiral Dewey
that is possible without the calling of an
extra session Of the i legislature.
