"DEWEY AND VERMONT"
Annual Banquet of Vermont Association
at Boston.

Boston, Jan. 1S.-"Dewey and YER
mont" was the dual theme discussed
this evening, at the annual banquet of
the Vermont Association of Boston, at
the Hotel Vendome.
Vermont in the navy was supposed
to be the text for the meeting, but
the name of the great admiral was
heard on every ones lips, and the
ratification of all his acts from boy
hood up seemed to be more in order
than anything else.
Among those present was q. B.
Pangborn of Jersey City a graduate
Of the University of Vermont, in the
class of so, and who used to teach
Admiral Dewey. Mr.. Pangborn gra-
phically told how he once whipped the
hero of Manila.
The following letter was received
from Admiral Dewey by the secretary
of the association:
81 have the honor to acknowledge
your letter of Oct. s, 1898, together with
the beautifully engrossed and attested
copy of the resolutions adopted by the
executive committee of the Vermont
Association of the city of Boston. On
behalf of myself and the officers and
men of my command, / thank you in
the heartiest manner, their expressions
of appreciation and appreciation. 1t is
signal honor, coming from such
body of men, and will undoubtedly give
pleasure to all. The resolutions will
be read on the quarter deck of the YES
sells of the squadron taking part in the
action of May, at the next general mus
ter. 1 thank you personally for your
charming letter transmitting the en-
crossed resolutions, and / beg to re-
main,
Very sincerely,
George Dewey"
At the conclusion of the reading of
this letter great and prolonged APP
plause was indicative of the manner in
which 1t was received.
Capt. Clark of the Oregon sent a
letter, which was read and attentiveIy
listened to. 1t related to matters of
naval Importance, and constant. neces-
sity Of careful solicitude Of the inter-
ests Of the men under command of the
first man on a warship.
President Alden Spear called the
meeting to order and the trend of his
the past year. Letters of regret were
read from Governor Roger Wolcott,
Edward Carter Smith, governor of YER
mont, John D. Long and several others.
Among the speakers were John l.. Mar
tin of Brattleboro, district attorney, AL
len J. Brown, president of Norwich
University, Lieut. w. B. Fletcher of the
Massachusetts and Major G. X. Darl-
ing officers were elected with w. e.

TO TEST LAW.
Burnetts of Southboro In
terested in a Big Case.

The Metropolitan water board has
incurred the displeasure and aroused
the ire of the members of the famous
Burnett family of Southboro and it is
understood, have engaged Frank P.
Goulding of this city and Charles F.
Choate, Jr., of Boston to bring a bill in
equity in the Supreme court, seeking
to enJoin the Metropolitan water board
from proceeding further with the
work of the new reservoir for the
water basin in that town. Both Joseph
Burnett, of extract fame, and Edmund
Burnett held large properties in South
boro, and the summer home of the two
members of the family are among the
most beautiful of the country around.
1t is claimed that the water board,
in its takings, has begun to make in
roads upon the Burnett estates, against
which the family is making its most
strenuous protest Mr.. Goulding was
seen at his house last evening, but, as
he is reported to be i'll with the grip,
he did not care to discuss the proceed
ings contemplated.
Clinton, Jan. 1S.-The Burnetts of
Southboro are planning to bring suits
against the state of Massachusetts in
the supreme court of the United States
to test the constitutionality of the met
ropolitan water act of 1895. They will
claim through their attorneys that it is
unconstitutional because it discrimin-
ates against certain communities of the
commonwealth as against certain other
communities.
1t is claimed that Clinton gets priv
ileges that are not accorded Boylston
or West Boylston. Agents for the Bur-
netts have been in Clinton, Boylston,
West Boylston and Sterling to gather
evidence bearing upon the matter. Par
ker & Bateman are preparing maps of
Boylston, West Boylston, Berlin, Clin-
ton, Sterling, Southboro, and Northboro
for Attorney c. S. Choate, Jr. These
maps will be introduced at the trial.
