Welcome Home That was the
motto that met the eve OF Admiral
George Dewey, the greatest hero OF
the day, from almost every vantage
point in the Green Mountain State,
through which ne journeyed last
week. IL smiled at him in evergreen
Of his native woods. IL sparkled
amid festoons Of gay bunting. AT
night, il blazed forth in dazzling in
candescence.
Welcome Home Other states
might hail him in the glad word Of
Welcome Other states and cities,
larger, richer, more pretentious,
might greet him as "Our Hero. but
only Vermont. only Montpelier, could
reach him by that tender chord OF
sympathy contained in the one word,
Home"
And the great admiral responded
with all the sentiment in his deep
nature. Back In Gods country" he
said, as he crossed the state line.
you are killing me with kindness,
be sweetly protested again and again.
1t is the greatest, the grandest re-
ception vet given me. /" he declared, as
the train bore him away TO other
triumphs. No one could doubt the
claim Of Vermont, OF Montpelier, TO
share in the glory OF their great cap
tain. And he is only too eager TO
divide il with them.
The aamiral's visit to Montpelier,
the scene Of his boyhood DAYS, was
the eliminating point in his journey
from the grand ovations rendered
him at New York, the nations metrop-
polls, and Washington, the nations
capital. To il, from far over the seas,
he had looked forward with the ut
most anticipation-the acclaim OF his
home people-and il did not disap-
point him. Every condition favored
il. Never was there a more delight
ful Indian summer day, from the mo-
ment that the sunrise gun doomed its
salute until the last embers OF the bon
IRE on the hilltop smouldered out and
the great throng had dispersed. Not an
accident OF any kind, or a single dis
turbance occurred. Hardly an arrest
was made. The affair was ceyerly
managed throughout. In not sin
gle noticeable particular did it fail.
Forty thousand people were pres
ent. Some estimated as high as
$4,000. But 1000 is a great number

to Shelburne house, where the party
was greeted by the ladies and dinner
served. In the evening the party
watched the searchlight which was
throwing its beams toward them from
the top of Mt. Mansfield. This light,
which was feature Of Dewey's re-
ception, was placed by DR.. Webb and
Gov. Smith at an expense Of several
thousand dollars.

car and, although the latter did not
come out of the vestibule, people saw
a pleasant incident in the meeting of
Gen. O. q. Howard and the hero of
Manila. While the crowd was cheer
ing, the brave soldier OF the civil war
grasped hands with the sailor who
has won his four stars In a later war.
A. several stations between Bur-
lington and Montpelier, stops were
made and every place contributed a
crowd at the depot to cheer and wave
salutes.

depot. There were many decorations.
Sherman's band OF Burlington played
as the admiral followed DIR. Webb to
an open landau drawn by two coal
black horses. A salute Of IL guns was
fired. A workingman led in three
cheers for Dewey and the admiral
favored him with handelasp, but
was obliged to refuse the crowd that
rushed upon him to greet him in a
like manner. Two hundred children
sang "Yankee Dewey Went To Sea, "
to his great amusement, as he is very
fond OF children.
The carriages were driven at once

out its whole population. There were
not less than 10000 in all-perhaps
so, zoe. The story Of the day is given
below.

went TO Mortified and Dewey per-

While in New York state Admiral
Dewey remained within the car chat
ting with the others of the party. But
after crossing the Vermont line the
admiral seemed to grow little ner-
vous, spoke Of his home coming re-
peatedly and went out on the rear
platform on the rear car, although the
car was an observation one, to view
the scenery. He seemed to be very
happy and to those who were around
him it appeared almost as il the arri-
val had had a touch of homesickness.
As the train neared Shelburne the
admiral watched the changing scenery
with great intentness. Here and
there flag was seen, but nature did
the lavish color painting on this great
occasion, for Vermont scenery YVES
one mass of gorgeousness in autumnal
tints.
At Rutland, Middlebury and YER

and he appeared and acknowledged
their greetings with every indication

FIVE KILLED IN KENTUCKY FIELD.
Pitched Battle Between Mountain
Eactions in CIay County.

A special to the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal from London, Ky, tells of report
reaching there of the outbreak of another
feud in Clay county by which five men lost
their lives yesterday. The dead are said to
be Robert Philpot, Ed. Fisher, Aaron Nor
ris. Jim Griffin and Hugh Griffin These
fatalities resulted from a pitched battle
fought near Little Goose creek, three miles
from Manchester.
The feud dates back nearly two years.
On Christmas. 1897, James Philpot was
killed by Aaron Morris, but before he died
he shot and killed William Bundy. a friend
of Morris. The Morrises and Griffins We're
closely affiliated. Since then the feeling
between the two factions has been very
bitter. and it has been aroused recently by
the White-Baker hostiliues. The Philpots
who are the strongest faction in the noun
tains, numbering about $50 voters, openly
espoused the cause Of the Bakers. while the
Grif1irIs took sides with the Whites.
The battle began at about O'Clock and
ragged fiercely for ten fifteen minutes.
When it was over IL was found that the
five men mentioned above had been killed
outright, three of the belligerents were seri-
ously wounded, while Pete PhilpoJ was the
only one on either side TO escape injury
Granville Philpot is said to be one of the
most seriously wounded. He is a Union
veteran, having lost leg at Stone River
He is an ex-member of the Kentucky legis-
lature, and is said to have killed three or
dead was another man with several hicks
in his cane. He was but twenty-thres
years old, but was said TO have killed three
men.

A day is often defined as the inter-
val within which the earth performs
complete revolution on Its axis. and
his interval is, according C.. UDserva-
lions, invarlable This day is the
sidereal, which, for exclusively astro-
aomical purposes, would serve as the
9est unit for measuring time. How
ever, we cannot but take the sun into
account. and when the earth has made
one rotation on its axis, the sun in
The meantime has moved something

tween two successive returns Of the
sun to the same meridian, must needs
be different from and longer than a

simply expressed by saying that 1861
sidereal days are equal to 565A solai

At the Orange river this great band
Of oppressed 'trekkers'' divided into
two parts. One part founded the
Orange Free State, and the other, con-
tinuing farther eastward, founded Ma
tai. Although the Orange Free State
was subsequently conquered by the
English and the Beers of Natal were
forced to seek a new freedom by cross
ing the river Vaaol and founding the
Transyoaal, both little republics in time
regained their nominal independence.
Linked together by common blood
and united in resisting the advances
of a common oppressor, or a power
which they had always regarded az an
oppressor, it is no wonder that the
Orange Free State and the South Afri-
can Republic have for many years
stood shoulder to shoulder.
When Judge Steyn not long ago was
elected president of the Orange Free
State, that election was looked upon in
both South African republics as a Boer
victory and a blow at the intrusive Brit
ish element, which Of recent years has
been growing as proportionately strong

The porter that opened at his call
was a young-faced monk. who looked
at him askance. In vain he called fol
the brothers that he had known; and
at last in despair, he cried:
Does no one know Alfus? This
morning l left the monastery to walk

all things are changed"
An old brother, who was sitting in
the sun, answered him:
"Alfus? / heard the brothers, when
was but small boy, tell how Alfus
went into the wood and never return
ed. They said that as he was good and
holy, he must have been taken in a
chariot of fire to heaven. like the pro-
phet Of old But that was a hundred
years ago, for they heard it from those
before them."
Then the wise Alsus saw the lesson
that had been taught him. and falling
on his knees, he cried:
Il see now how a thousand years
are but as a day in Thy sight since l..
in listening but an instant to the bird
that sings without the gate Of Paradise,

And when those about him saw the
glory that oversDread his face they
