An Ugly Monkey.

An Italian, with a non transiatable
name, hand organ and q monkey ar
rived in Barre Tuesday. The man
turned the crank, the organ furnished
the discord and the Missing Liak y
gathered in the pennies.
Wednesday morning this summer
troup of performers appeared on Wash
ington street. Mary Quinlan, the young
child of w. c. Quinlan gave the monkey
a cent, but the ugly animal wanted
more, he snalched paw full Of hair
from the head of the young girl, and
was about to commit the same injury
on another young child, when it was
snatched away by the mother OF the
second child.
MIR. Quinlan on arrival at his home
was indignant and at once proceeded tc
see that the pugilistic monkey was ban
ished from the city.
A complaint was made, but the only
criminal section of the Statute on which
the owner of the monkey could be ar
rested was on charging him with ex
hibiting a living animal without
license. The main object being to have
the ugly animal out of the city.
A warrant was issued and Deput.
Sheriff French started out to find thu
combination. Soon officer, organ, play
ar. and monkey were in the Office OF ii
w. Scott who had issued the complain
as Justice. A large crowd followed tn
animal to the place of trial.
After considerable talk, Quinlan ant
the respondent effected settlement
while this was taking place, the Monke
amused himself by making faces
the court, and officer.
Several spectators offered to serve
iurv if the monkey should decide

Welcome Home.

HDOuI ~ VI luc tAooo p1oiiiiuoh. i'o'
of Vermont answered the Governors
call to be present in Montpelier yester.
day to formulate plans for welcoming
Admiral Dewey to his native state and
his birthplace in Montpelier.
Gov. Smith said he sent Gen. Peck to
New York to get information and that
he had been informed that Admiral
Dewey might be expected any day from
September % to September 80.
Gen. Peck being called on, told of his
interview with Gen. Butterfield and said
that Vermont had been assigned a good
place behind the admiral's carriage if
she sent her troops. Gen. Peck remark
ed with a little sarcasm that he had
read in the newspapers that Vermont
had offered her troops for the occasion
but that ne knew nothing about it.
An opinion expressed at the meeting,
which appeared 10 meet with favor, was
that Gov. Smith should make request
of President Mckinley that Admiral
Dewey be not assigned any duty for a
time, especially in regard to the meet
ing of the Philippine commission, in
order that he might be allowed to visit
Vermont.
Hon. Charles Dewey intimated that
this nigh; be a proper course. In an
swer to the query as to the kind of re-
ception that he thought the admiral his
brother, would desire, he said that Il
quiet and not prolonged demonstration
would probably be desired.
Mr.. Dewey read from a letter recent
ly received from Admiral Dewey in
which he said that it was impossible for
him to make any plans for the large
number of receptions desired to be
rendered him. He said he had written
Senator Proctor on the subject of the
reception in Vermont. 1t was hard to
find time to attend the receptions, and if
he wished TO he could not stand the
strain.
Mr.. Dewey thought that Admiral
Dewey, after his New York and Wash
ington visit. might come here about
r.,>> na+olo,, m and TX
Gov. Smith said ii Was his intention
to call out the militia for the Dewey
reception,
Gen. Gilmore said that there would
be no trouble about equlpping the re-
giment.
On Interrogation by Congressman
Grout he said lie understood that the
equipments were on their way from
Washington at the present time.
Lieut.. Gov. Fiske said he stood ready
to pul his name on q paper to guarantee
money to pay the expenses OF the re-
ception. He had no doubt the next
session of legislature would pay the
bills.
No suggestion was made during the
meeting that the reception should be in
any other place than Montpelier, al
thou IN the question whether the recep-
tion should be wholly Il state affair or
an affair in which the State and the city
of Montpelier should be concerned JOINT
". was literally discussed.
