Can't. Haigh requests the members OF the
company TO meet at the armory Saturday
night al 7 o'clock, when the badges Will be
nresented Those not distributed in W
DAYS will be sent back to Adjutant General

and soldier of the Vermont regiment and
TO relatives of those who died.
DIR. w. Seward Webb of Shelburne, who
was member of the military committee
of the house in the last legislature, en-
deavored to secure the passage OF an act
giving a bronze medal to each Vermont
volunteer in the late war. The bill failed
and Dr. Webb then had medals made at
his own expense. DR.. Webb had previ-
ously shown his great interest in the volun-
teers. Dr. and Mrs. Webb gave $1,000 for
the regimental hospital, and other gifts of
money for the relief of sick soldiers.
The maker of the badges, Joseph h. Da-
vison of Philadelphia, who does large
business in medals and badges, considers
this the handsomest regimental badge he
has made.
The metal of the badge is a bright yell
low bronze, which DR.. Webb was able to
secure from the wreck of the Maria Ter
esa, the flagship of Cervera's unhappy
squadron, being part of the machinery or
fittings of the Spanish cruiser The bar
bears the deer's head, which is the crest
of the Vermont coat of arms, between
sprigs of pine, the memorial badge of the
Green Mountain Boys ard their descend
ants, and the words "First Vermont In
fantry, L. S. V" Pendant from the bar
is the badge of the Third Corps of the
volunteer army, in the Spanish American
war. Following the rule adopted for the
corps badges in the war for the Union
these later corps badges are in three colors,
red for the first division, white for the sec
ond and blue for the third. Our Vermont
regiment was in the third brigade of the
First division Of the Third Corps, and the
three-teethed clutch which constitutes
the corps badge, is accordingly in red en-
amel. The clutch rests on laurel wreath,
and upon it is a medallion in white and
blue enamel, with the words: Spanish
American war" in the ring of blue. sur
rounding the date 'lS9S," in gold on the
white centre. The ribbon is light green,
for the Green Mountain state. On the
back of the badge is the shield of the Yer
mont coat of arms, in relief; the words
The gift of w. S. Webb" and the letter
of the company to which the soldier who
received it belonged, or if an officer, the
letter "F'' for the field. or rs" for the
staff. The enamel work and enclosing
are all remarkably fine.

PATRoNIzB THE BAND

Its Existence Depends Upon IN. f.
couragement II Receives During IN.
Next Two weeks---Plsns FOR a ro.
cert May 40.
The Brattleboro Military band had 70.
more than a local reputation foi years ana
it has been gained through great labor ana
the sacrifice of time on the part of mai
vidual members. A crisis has noy com.
in the history of the band, and the eyi,,.
ence of the organization depends entirei,
upon the attitude of the people Of Brat,la.
boro in the next two weeks.
At the last village meeting the following
resolution was carried by a unanimors
vote: "That the sum of $500 be appronri
ated to pay the expenses of not less than
II free, open-air entertainments TO be civ.
en- the present season in the village NJ
Brattleboro by the Brattleboro MiIitarv
band, the time, number, place or places h
be hereafter arranged by the baliffs of the
village and the leader of the band" NAM
have gained the impression that this an.
propriation insures the II concerts. bp,
this is not correct. The band is in great
need of money with which to maintain It's
organization, and without the organiza.
ton the appropriation cannot be accepted
and no concerts can be given.
The appropriation of the village was
simply to cover the expense of the series Of
concerts No provision has been made
for buying new uniforms, for hiring extra
PLAYERS, for renting band room, and for
other expenditures which are necessary for
the maintenance of first class organiza.
ton.
In order to meet these demands the
band has decided to give a concert in the
Auditorium Tuesday evening, May -.
with the assistance of Mrs. Harriet Bras.
or-Pratt, E. H. Miller and Mrs John L.
Knowlton. On that occasion the Audito.
rum ought TO be packed; the exgencies
of the case demand it; and the presence Of
the assisting artists and the band assures
! a concert of sufficient merit to call for gen
eral patronage without consideration Of
the needs of the band.
During the last of this week and the
first of next week solicitors will canvas:
the town for the sale of tickets. These
tickets may be exchanged for reserved
seats at the box Office on Monday, May %
and on the following day the sale OF tick
cts will be opened TO the general public
Everybody wants to hear a series OF fires
open-air concerts this summer and thel
can have that privilege if each person vii
only realize the necessity OF a small ind.
vidual expenditure for this one concert
the 18th.
The band will be under the management
of f. F. Letsinger aud under the musica

Final Victory for the village school
District.

The supreme court of Vermont render
ed decision Saturday denying the motion
of Waterman & Martin, counsel for the
Brattleboro town school district, for re-
hearing of the case Of the town school dis
trict against the village school district.
The decision is final victory for the viii
lage district, and by II the village district
will save about $1,000. This suit was
brought by Judge Wheeler, chairman of
the town district school committee, in 1897,
the claim being that the public money was
not properly divided between the town dis
trict and the village district. The cause
was heard before Chancellor Ross, now
Senator Ross, at the September term, 1897,
Windham county court of chancery, and
be decided in favor of the town district.
The village district appealed to the SUI
preme court, where the case was argued
last May. IN January last the supreme
court rendered its decision, reversing the
decree of Judge Ross. The town district
then motioned for a rehearing, which mo-
ton has been denied as stated. The coun-
sci for the village district are G. G. Fits,
Kittredge Haskins and L. M. Read.

Notable Exhibit of Hacknsys for a
Valley Fair.


The Glendower Stock farm of South
Newbury, VT, will make a notable ex-
hibit of hackneys at the next Valley Fair,
including the Matchless of Lonsborough,
the stallion which won blue ribbons for
Col. w. Seward Webb at the New York
horse show and was sold by him for SILL
900; Glendower, which brought a still
higher price, $4,000; and Macmillan,
formerly owned by E. B. Jordan of Bos-
ton and sold by him to the Glendower
farm for $4,000 the past winter. MaXimil-
liam is the stallion which made the season
in Brattleboro last year, and is here again
this year under the management of G. d.
Noyes, to remain until after the fair, in the
stables at the Valley Fair ground. With
the stations the Glendower farm will
bring ID mares and colts, selected from
the choice collection of over 100 head on
the farm. The Glendower farm is owned
by stock company in which Mr.. Jordan
of Boston, Mr.. Cheney of South Manches-
ter, Conn, and nearly 20 other men are
interested. The manager is Mr.. Hale,
son of ex-Gov. Hale of Keene. Mr.. Hale
bred fancy cattle on the farm previous to
the formation of the stock company. Mr..
Winslow of Brandon, who was a Worlds
Fair winner with Aryshires, is expected
to bring herd of these cattle to the Val
ley Fair.

A SUCCESSFUL FARMER.
vinita Selected for Trading Point
Hereafter.

w. NJ. Smith and wife are in
from Alluwe trading and visiting
their daughter at Sacred Heart in
stitute. Mr.. Smith conducts big
farm and, consuming large guam
tity of goods, generally buys in
Kansas City or st. Louis. But by
reading The Chieftain he learned
something of the advantages of
Vinita as trading point and con-
cluded to try it. In nine years
since Mr.. Smith left Horse creek
he has not missed making a wheat
crop. This year he had 1000 bush
els of wheat, 8 900 of oats, and has
probably 1000 or 5 1000 bushels OF
corn. He finds no fault with the
country or the soil, but believes it
is the farmer who is generally to
blame for failure to make crop.

There has been some controversy Of
tate relative to the authorship Of
America" or. more properly speaking.
Of "God Save the King" 1t Is settled
beyond all question by the highest
musical authorities, such as Chappell.
Chrysander Won Fallersleben. and
Grove, that both words and melody
were written by Henry Carey. and that
he sang 1t himself for the first time at
4 dinner given in London In 174O to
celebrate the capture Of Portobcllo by
Admiral Vernon. j. Christopher
Smith, Handel's amanuensis, who was
present at the dinner. testifies to Car.
ey's authorship. The Rev. Samuel F.
Smith, who composed the words Of
America" and borrowed the melody
from a book OF German songs, Ia re-.
sponsible for the general impression
that the melody came from German
sources. 1t is purely English. and was
not only borrowed from the English by
Beethoven. but was utilized by Schu-
macher for the German national an
them, Hell Dir i'm Siegerkranz," and
by Heinrich Harries for use In the
Danish hymn, Hell Dir, dem Lieben-
Gen." 1t is an American national hymn
