I3th Vermont Regiment at Gettysburg.
The monument erected on the Gettys-
burg battlefield by the survivors of the
Thirteenth Vermont regiment was dedi-
Gated Wednesday. Col Albert Clarke,
who was first lieutenant of Co. G in the
battle, delivered the Grafton. The monu-
ment is surmounted by statue of Capt
Stephen f. Brown. A hatchet is repre-
sented as resting on the ground near his
right foot. The story of this hatchet, or
of what it signifies, was told by Col Clarke
in his address. At the time of the battle
Brown was lieutenant of Co K. On the
long, hot march to Gettysburg the men
suffered terribly from thirst When
camped near Frederick, Md, Brown dis
obeyed orders by passing through the
guard line and filling some canteens to re-
lieve the suffering of the men. For this
technical offence he was arrested and de-
prived of his sword. When the field of
Gettysburg was reached, Lieutenant Colo
mel Munson interceded and obtained per-
mission for Brown to wear his sword until
after the battle. 1t was found to have
been sent to tn rear, so Brown armed
himself with camp hatchet. He bore an
active part in the fight of the first and
second days. On the third day, when the
regiment charged Pickett's flank and was
hOtly engaged at close quarters, Brown
saw Confederate lieutenant near him,
and with uplifted hatchet sprang for
him like an Indian. The young officer
handed over his sword and pistol, and
Brown promptly appropriated them and
dropped his hatchet. After the repulse of
Pickett, while applying a tourniquet to one
of the wounded men on the field, he was
stunned by a shell, from the shock of
which he did not recover until the regi-
ment returned to Vermont. Nothing
more was heard of his arrest or impending
court martial. After the muster-out he
raised a company and became captain in
the 18th Vermont. In their first battle he
lost an arm and was compelled to leave the
service. "These Incidents" said Col
Clarke, "most naturally suggested the de-
sign of this monument"

W. II. Forbes Townshend, who spent
several months in the Transvaal, says the
Beers are very dull mentally, non-progress-
i've, and phlegmatic, but these characters
tics tell in their favor when in battle. as
they do not become the least excited. They
practice craftsmanship from early boyhood,
and are probably the most expert shots in
the world. They have sharpshooters
whose sole duty is to pick officers of the
enemy. The Beers know how to handle
artillery, as many of their young men have
studied in the military schools of France
and Germany. The passes on the Natal
border are so narrow and of such char
acter that 40 men can hold them against
thousand, and the other frontiers are of a
similar nature The country affords nat
ural second lines of defence, for it is made
up of successive ranges of mountains, with
level plains, or veldts, between, and the

Admiral Dewey does not talk for publ.
cation, but he naturally applauds that
which he likes and approves. 1t was motto
ed at the Norwich University exercises
that he applauded the so-caled imperialis
tic of Chauncey NJ. Dope W, including the fol-
lowing; We must first subdue the rebellion.
The more quickly, the more energetically
and the more overwhelming the force with
which it is done, the mere merciful will be
war, and the earlier will come the regener-
alton of the Philippines. The demonstra-
tion for brief period of a government
which gives protection TO life and property,
which grants liberty and law, which plants
schoOlhouses and encourages thrift, will be
conditions for happiness they have never
experienced, and only vaguely imagine pos
sible through the anarchy they would now
inaugurate.

Dewey nas nothing to Gnin.

Senator Proctor is regarded as the arch
conspirator of boom for Admiral Dewey
for the presidency. His interview, with
the Admiral at Montpelier Thursday even
ing was regarded by some newspaper cor
respondents as portentous, and reports
come from Washington that he will soon
hold conference there with would-be
Dewey presidential boomers.
Each of our four great wars has brought
forth leading hero who became President.
and a movement for Dewey, if agreeable
to his wish and once fairly started, would
be likely to sweep over the country with
Irresistible force. Admiral Dewey has
been quoted as saying privately that he
has no wish to be President, and that he
thinks he has no talent for statecraft.
His warmest admirers hope and believe
that the good sense which has character
lied all his actions since he came to fame
will lead him to put aside ambition for the
highest political honor
He is not only great naval commander,
but man who has kept level head under
great.variety of trying conditions during
the last 10 months. He has a title and an
Office accorded to only two other Ameri-
cans, Farragut and Porter. OF living
Americans he is easily "first in the hearts
of bis countrymen," loved, respected and
admired by all of the nation regardless of
political belief. AS Admiral this UNIQUE
position and this fame are secure. AS
President the fierce light OF partisan criti-
cism would be leveled at him for four

1t is reported in Washington that at the
next meeting of the Democratic National
committee an effort will be made to change
the basis of representation to the National
convention. 1t is proposed to have all
delegates elected "at large" instead of by
districts, their number being according to
the states Democratic vote. The effect
would be to reduce the representation from
the Eastern states, Pennsylvania losing 22
delegates, while the South and West would
gain. The plan is favored by the Bryan
managers.

1t is understood in Washington that the
President does not intend in his forthcom-
ing message to Congress to make specific
recommendation for the ultimate disposl-
tion of Cuba and the Philippines. Under
prevailing circumstances he thinks control
of those islands should be left with the Ex-
ecutive. and Congress for the present
should deal with Hawaii and Porto Rico
only. This would throw the expansion
question into the next presidential cleo
tion, and it is said that Mr.. Mckinley be-
lieves that there will be an overwhelming
expression of public acquiescence in the
permanent retention ofthe newly acquired
colonies,

other things which we're mentioned az
hindrances to the teachers were lack of at
tention, inability to find helpers, personal
limitations, etc. Among things empba-
sized by Mr.. Archibald was the fact that
the Sunday school is made 600 "cheap.n -
in other words, there is not enough re-
straint in the line of admission and proper
respect paid to Sunday school work.
The danger is to accept any situation
and make the best of it, rather than to
seek to improve the environment of the
class. He manifested very strongly the
necessity of a proper surrounding for the
best work in the primary department. Of
course, conference of this sort is difficult
to report, and we can make but slight ref
erences thereto. He recommended the
use of pictures largely, and mentioned
among others the Brown, Perry and Wilde
pictures, but with the caution not to use
too many, the fear being that this would
lead to qualification rather than stim-
ulation of the Imagination" He spoke of
the fact that the Master used for illustra-
tions things that were known, and submit
ted list of over 10 illustrations mentioned
in the Gospel of things that were familiarly
known among the people. Indeed almost
all OF them were known to children of six
to 10 years of age in the present time.
Two Strong Addresses.
Prof. Hamill spoke with much power
upon the characteristics of the Lords
teaching, taking as the title, "The Great
Teacher" Under the heading "Himself'
he spoke of His life, activity, prayerful-
ness and growth. Under the heading of
methods" he mentioned question and
answer, illustration, use of scripture, and
personal contact.
Following Prof Hamll, Rev. W. Il.
Chidley of Randolph delivered a very
strong address upon "Sowing and Reap
ing in Sunday School Work" The gentle
man was little hampered and disturbed
by the fact that he was not able to enjoy
the full time which had been allotted to
him, but the impression upon the conven-
tion was strong one, and the address can
not fail to be remembered. His remarks
may, perhaps, be set in three divisions:
First, the seed; second, the sower, and
third, the soil
Following this address "superintend-
ents' conference" conducted by Mr..

was held in the chapel for superintendents
only. A very interesting discussion was
held there, and at the same time teach
ers' conference, conducted by Mr.. Archi-
bald, was going on in the main audience
room.
Dinner was served in the Grange dining
rooms to 200 or more with neatness and
despatch" The provision for entertain
ment in this direction was exceedingly
generous, and the service above criticism.

President Hawley's Address.

The principal topic of President Haw-
ley's address was the present condition of
the Sunday school work in Vermont. He
brought to attention the fact outlined
in the secretary's report that there was an
absolute falling off in the membership of
the Sunday schools of the state, and sought
to impress the responsibility upon the CON
vention of finding, if possible, the reme-
dy; but before that could be done the find
ing of the source of the responsibility for
the actual condition of things was deemed
a necessity. Without giving in detail the
remarks of the president, he placed the
responsibility in part at the door of the
Sunday school teachers of the present dav,
and more largely of the superintendent
of the Sunday schools, and said that the per-
functory, half-hearted, listless discharge of
duties in connection with these official DO
sitions was the bane of Sunday school man
agement. By series of questions intro
ducing the essentially strong elements in
Sunday school superintendent, he doubt
less raised the question in the minds of
many superintendents present as to wheth-
er they were in the front line or not At
any rate he set the convention to thinking,
and we presume that that was all he in
tended to do.

The Value of Old Testament Study.

The principal address of the evening
was delivered by Rev. Everett D. Burr,
pastor of the Ruggles street Baptist church
in Boston. The subject of the address
was 1.-THE Educational Value of Old Testa-
ment Study" Mr.. Burr deprecated the
feeling on the part of many teachers that
the study of the Old Testament and the
teaching of the Old Testament was bur
den. He deplored it because of the great
educational, and inspirational value as well.
to be derived from the study of the whole
Bible. He said there was danger of mis-
taking this widespread interest in the study
of the Word for the real study of it. He
plead for the study of the Book, not about
it or of it. He also plead for study and
not criticism. He alluded to the definition
of the child of the Arctic ocean as "creat-
ed for the purpose of exploration" He did
not believe in treating the Bible in this
way.
He referred to a young man in theolog-
ical seminary who came to his professor
with great agitation because he said he had
not been able to find single passage of
Importance that some abler divine had not
attacked" " and there was nothing left for
him to do. He plead for study of the
Book as a book, and not simply verse at
time. He stated that no complete idea
of the Bible could be secured by the study
of verse here and there, because anything
could be proved by using isolated verses.
He enforced the value of the Old Testa-
ment scriptures, first, for literary inspra-
tion. He deprecated the use exclusively
in our public schools of secular classics,
because 1t gave the children essentially
heather education and led them to become
familiar, not with the high moral stand
ards embodied in the scriptures, but with
those which were far lower.
1t was also of incalculable value in the
consideration of theoretical and practical
ethics. The keynote was the verse that
righteousness eXalteth a nation, but sin
is reproach to any people," He said /:
II am anxious for back bone set to the
plummet of righteousness far more than
for a doctOrate in classics" Beyond all,
however, is the spiritual nurture of the per-
sonal soul to be derived from this study.
Out of the study of the Old Testament
scriptures Jesus Christ grew, and His soul
was fed upon it. Shall we set it, aside and
cOnfine our whole attention to the study of
the Gospels and the other parts of the New
Testament
The address throughout was exceedingly
strong, and Mr.. Burr held the attention of
the audience for almost an hour.
Preceding the address of Mr.. Burr, there
was a ten-minute conference led by G.
II. Archibald on the question "What did
l come for" which was participated in by
large number.
