Latin Day at Middlebury.

M1DDLEBURY, W., May 20, 1899-The
second conference of the Latin teachers Of
the state, conducted under the auspices Of
the Latin department of Middlebury col
lege, held its opening session in the col.
lege chapel yesterday morning and closed
at noon today. The attendance has been
large, the number Of visiting delegates ap.
preaching fifty, including prominent edu-
Gators in this and adjoining states. The
most notable feature of the conference has
been the presentation given at the town
hall last evening by the Latin students of
the college, the student contribution to the
general program of events. This was a
dramatIzation of certain scenes in the life
of Cicero centering about the conspiracy of
Catiline, an attempt which, so far as
known, was never before made. The text
of the drama was compiled as far as posi-
BILE from Cicero, Sallust and other Roman
writer's dealing with the events portrayed
The scenery was painted at great expense
BY Mr. Charles Withane of New York city,
formerly Roman scene painter for Edwin
Booth and Lawrence Barrett; it proved eff
fective, the features that elected most adj
miration being the Forum, the temple of
Jupiter Stator and the interior of the house
of Quintus Cicero. The costumes, as in
the Roman chorus OF year ago, were ex-
ceptionally faithful to historic fact. no de-
tail, however slight, being Intentionally

FOresterS of America.

The origin Of Forestry i, unknown, but
its traditional history goes back to Sher-
wood Forest and the days of Robin Hood
and his merry men. From the very first
its aims have been benefcent and peaceful,
and it has continued to grow in strength
and greatness because it was founded on
the noble principle of the brotherhood OF
man.
The written history begins with the in
stitutiou OF Court Perseverance, No. 1, at
Leeds, England, in 1890, when the title OF
the "Ancient Royal Order of Foresters"
was adopted. The fraternity progressed
rapidly and harmoniously until 1884, when
the arbitrary attitude of the high court
forced division in the order, and 342
courts reconstructed under the name of
''Ancient Order of Foresters" and con-
t;nued to increase in power and numbers,
while their opponents Of the Royal Order
of Foresters" gradually faded away.
10 1882 Forestry was brought to Amer
lea by the formation Of Court Good Speed,
No. POI, at Philadelphia, and afterwards
other courts were organized but none sur
vived until the institution of Court Brook
Ign, now No. OF Brooklyn, on the 28th
day of May, 1864. From this, the oldest
living court in America, Forestry has ex-
tended throughout the land.
Until 1889 Forestry in Ameries was un-
der the jurisdiction OF the high court in
England, though practically home rule wa,
allowed in the United States. Under these
conditions the order developed splendldly,
but in 1888 friction between the parent
body and the home courts burst into
flame over the elimination of the word
white" in the qualifications for member
ship. the home courts considering this

ish--drama in five acts, entitled 1.-The
Lieutenant"
The play is an exceedingly interesting
one with many thrilling scenes, which were
presented with an ability that won frequent
applause from the spectators, who gave un-
tagging attention to the unfolding of the
plot. Handsome costumes, appropriate
for the officers of Her Msjesty's 9th Infan-
try in Ireland, and some new scenery gave
the play an effective setting.
DR.. W. P. Devine, who was stage mana
ger, took the difficult role of Col. Hough-
ton excellently while Lieutenant O'Connor,
the paymaster, was well represented by M
D. McAuliffe. w. j. Mccarthy as Capt.
Hammond, P. E. McAuliffe as Sergeant
Fitzgerald and George w. Broderick as
Sergeant Harding entered into the play
with an intelligent appreciation of the re-

many expressions OF appreciation from the
house, one of the most amusing scenes be-
ing that in which O'Brien with o. Blondin

master, and Miss Lizzie Golden as Larry.

As Ethel Miley, Miss Gertrude Dion

Financial Poetry.

An unusual album was presented 10
Willis Clark, brother of Lewis Gaylord
Clark, the poet, on one occasion, with
a request for 'some rhymes.
Mr.. Clark was at the house Of a
farmer, and the mans daughter had
turned an old account book into an
autograph album in which were in
scribed the names of her various friends
and relatives below appropriate senti-
ments.
Mr.. Clark saw his opportunity, and
after turning over the leaves for mo-
ment or two he took q pen and wrote
the following verse:

action Of the English high court as an I'M
warranted blow at their liberty. A men,
orable convention was held at Minneapolis
in 1889, and after two days of elaboration
the order in America declared it's indie
pendence, August Is.
After this declaration a radical change
was made in thes government OF the order
aud a1kpurely American system was
adopted. The supreme court is re,og-
MEDIA the head, but the grand courts,
which have jurisdiction in the several
states Of the union, are conducted on the
principle OF home rule. From the subor-
dinate court to the supr me body the rule,
are the same as those which apply to the
republic.
Forestry in America is purely bene6'
cial and benevolent organization, free from
sectional prejudices, and is unhampered by
any domination Of sect or party. Its pur.
poses are: The mutual protection and as
sstance OF the members in sickness and
distress, the burial of members and mem
bers' wives, and the relief Of relatives left
unprovided for by the decease Of mem
Der. The fulfllment Of these objects hal
won the gratitude Of vast number O
members, their families and relatives.
The total number Of grand courts il

neglected. Again, as before, however,
truth proved itself beauty, and the impress
siou of grace and dignity produced by the
toga, tunica and pella is one that will linger
in the memory. All the acts were OF in
tense interest and some OF them most I'M
pressive, their effect being heightened by
the elaborate system OF concealed electric
lighting employed, and when the curtains
closed upon the last scene, chorus OF
youths and maidens singing in the Forum
the hymn to Diana of Catullus, the enthu-
siasm Of the audience was marked. The
part Of Cicero was taken by Harry FOES
Lake, SO, OF Suncook, N. H., whose in
terpretahon Of the arduous role was ad-
mirable. Among the other well-sustains
parts were Catiline, Frank w. Cady, '99,
Chicago; Caesar, Ernest j. Waterman,
'99, Brattleboro, VT; Lentulus, George
w. Stone, so, Vergennes, Vt; Voltur-
cius, Charles E, Wheeler, 100, Sidney, N.
Y; Gallo Ambassador, Frederic H.
Allen, 100, Warehouse Point, Conn. Te-
rentia, Sarah Scales, '99, Leyerett, Mass.
Tullia, Annie M. Sturges, '99, Centre
vile, Mass. The difficulty Of following
the Latin Of the play was far less than
some had anticipated. The action proved
to large extent the interpreter Of the
dialogue, and the Latin-English ibretto, 9
worthy piece Of work in both contents and
Topography, furnished whatever remaining
help was needed.
The event was the most notable Of thu
college year. For its success the credit il
due to Professor Myron R. Sanford, under
whose direction the Latin conferences hav'
both been carried through. The Roman
chorus Of year ago and the presen
Roman drama, both unique, originates
with him and were carried to noteworth,
issue by his rare combination of accurat
knowledge and executive ability.
