morning was detachment from Light
Battery B. Virginia Artillery. Of Norfolk.
The detachment is composed Of some Of
Ncrfolk's most prominent business and
professional men and arrived in the city

Washington steamer Norfolk. The men
were dressed in the fatigue uniform worn
by the Regular Army and presented a SOL
dierly appearance as they assembled on
the lower deck for roll call. The men took
part in the military parade today and 1t is

The Exhibition Speaking
In The Auditorium "wednesday Even
ing Was OF Uniformly High stand

ard.
The exhibition in speaking by members
of the different classes in the High school
took place in the Auditorium Wednesday
evening before a large audience. The
speakers occupied seats on the stage,
which was decorated with palms. The
finished manner in which the declamations
and recitations were given demonstrated
forcibly that elocution, which should form
such an important part of the education in
all public schools, has not been neglected
in BIattleboro. Although the speakers
were chosen from different classes and had
been given no special drilling the work
was uniformly good and reflects much credit
upon the teachers who have the elocution
teaching in charge. The speaking was in
terspersed with music by Leitsinger's or
chestra and selections by the High school
chorus and male quartet. The vocal selec-
tions were written by some of the old mas
ters. Miss Emma Gregg, the instructor in
music, is to be commended for the introduc-
tion of so high class of music into the
schools and for her work in bringing the
execution Of it to so high a standard

Rear Admiral Philip Hichborn, chief
constructor OF the navy, has presented to
his department a detailed report from Naval
Constructor F. T. BOwles showing that
the protected cruiser New Orleans is a
menace to the men who go to sea in her,
as she is top-heavy and there IS no remedy
which will insure her from turning tur-
tle.' The New Orleans was bought in
England after the war broke out last year.
The sister vessel, the Albany, also bought
by the United States, is nearing construc-
tion at Newcasile-onTyne England.

GLASS DAY EXERCISES.
The Grafton by L. Guy Tasker

Aud the Other Interesting Productions
Which Were Delivered on the nigh
school Lawn Wednesday Afternoon.
Class day exercises, which were intro
duced last year by Principal Whitaker
were again a pleasant feature OF com
mencement week. Although the weather
was extremely warm and showers threat
ened, large gathering was present when
the exercises began at o'clock and many
more people came before the first speaker
had finished. The interest manifested by
all present is strong proof of the incress-
ing popularity of class day in Brattleboro.
The speakers addressed the audience
from platform draped in red, white and
blue, which stood short distance in front
Of the school building. Harry c. Free
man, the class president, who presided, oc-
cupied a seat on this platform while the re-
mainder of the class sat together on the
right. Seats directly IN front Of the plat.
form were occupied by the teachers, behind
whom were seated the relatives and friend:
Of the class having reserved seats. Many
Of the school children occupied places on
the lawn and on the school steps.

Two non-commissioned officers of the
10Th regular infantry, at Camp Meade,
Pa, were killed Monday night by the ac-
cidental discharge of a Krag-Jorgensen
rifle in the hands of raw recruit.
New York has another murder mystery,
similar TO the Guldensuppe case. Parts
of a mans dismembered body were found
in two or three places near the New York
and Brooklyn wharves. Eight stars and
a crucifx were tattooed on one arm, and
on the hand an anchor. 1t is believed
that the man was a sailor, and that he
was murdered and cut to pieces.
Henry o. Havemeyer, president of the
American Sugar Refining company, testi-
fed before the industrial commission at
Washington Wednesday. He said the Gus
toms laws were the mother of moDopolies,
and in criticising the Dingley tariff bill
declared that trade could not be fostered
by federal legislation, which, under the
guise of protection, operated disastrously.

Forty financial institutions OF New
Hampshire have closed their doors during
the last ten years, from different causes.
Eight of the banks were wrecked by defal-
cation, four in Dover collapsing from this
cause. The latest crash at Dover is caus-
ing demand by press and citizens for a
reform in banking methods, and closer
surveillance by the directors and trustees.
The recent slump at Dover emphasizes the
need of separating national and savings
banks, and having separate officials for
the two kinds Of Institutions When one
man serves two institutions there is an op-
portunity OF juggling the funds back and
forth and thus avoiding detection for a
long time.

Bronze statue OF Chester Alan Arthu

Bronze statue of Chester Alan Arthur
In Madison square.
A bronze statue OF the only native Of
Vermont and the only citizen Of New York
who ever was president of the United
States was unveiled in Madison Square,
New York city, Tuesday. The New YORK
Sun, in recognizing this honor and distinc-
tion TO the memory of Chester Alan Ar
thur, says his intrinsic merit and memo
rable achievements deserved the most
grateful recognition from his fellow coun-
trymen. After reviewing President Ar
thurs career briefly the Sun said:
This nation has never had a man in
the office Of president who better preserved
its dignity and sustained its responsible
ties than President Arthur. Physically he
was strikingly impressive parsonage, OF
unusually great stature and peculiar grace.
He was a man of elegant tastes, and they
manifested themselves conspicuously in
the White House. He was thoroughly a
gentleman. His mind was well balanced
and vigorous and his regard for the dig
nifty and all the requirements of his office
was always scrupulous. His administra-
ton was so successful, so free from oppor-
tunities for justifable assault, except on
purely partisan grounds, that in justice he
should have received the nomination OF
the Republicans for president in 1884.
But Mr.. Blaine was put up against Mr..
Cleveland and defeated. II was an in,
stance of party ingratfude for which the
punishment was bitter. President Arthur
died at his residence in Lexington avenue
on the 18th of November, 1856. His dis
tinguished career, his notable services &c
the nation, and his qualities of character
are now fifty commemorated by statue in
the city on which Chester Alan Arthur
/ cast so great lustre."

Following Mr.. Tasker's Grafton came
the class poem read by its author, Miss
Marcia Parker. The subject was "The
Legend of Beauty" and from this theme
Miss Parker had produced a poem not on
ly carefully written and well phIased but
one containing many thoughts and senti-
ments OF benefit to all who listened to
them.
The class history was divided between
Miss Mabel Aplin and Miss Ruth Hunt,
the former covering the grammar school
period aud the first two years in the Bigh
school, and the latter the last two years in
the High school. The class was pictured
as a colony of workmen employed in build
ing a city. The different branches of
study represented different buildings in
course Of construction, some of simple de-
sign and others Of more difficult structure,
but all being built By members of the col
ony of workmen. Many incidents of in
terest in the history of the class were
brought out by the historians.
Miss Jessie F. Swift, the class prophet,
gave an admirable account of the different
walks in life in which she found the mem
bers Of the class in ICES. She herself had
remained in BraitlebOro for 20 years after
her graduation. following the uneventful
career Of a school teacher, but many of her
classmates had won great triumphs and
were taking prominent places in the world :
I great movements. The essay was written

Bagg showed that she had given it careful

which drove speakers and audience int
the school building. The exercises wer'
continued soon after, the shower subsidins
quickly. They consisted of the reciting o.

the planting of the ivy, in which all tbs
members of the class participated, and tn,
