SIXTH REUNION OF COMPANY F..

The sixth annual reunion Of Com
pany F. 18th vt. Vols, was held last
Thursday at Company F Barracks
and eight visiting comrades were
present, most of them with their
wives and some of the children, sc
that 40 persons in all were seated al
the dinner table. From one to about
four o'clock was spent on the steamer
Alma, which made trip to Lake Park,
where we landed at General Butter
fields cottages, where, in the absence
of the General, and through the
courtesy of a gentleman whose name
we did not learn, we were shown
through the grounds and buildings of
the place. This is most beautiful
spot that needs to be seen to be ap-
preciated, and undoubtedly has many
improvements over the old garden of
Eden of Adam and Eve notoriety.
At the business meeting the old
officers were reelected, after which
a sort of family circle was formed and
the days of 1914 brought to mind so
vividly that the old men seemed
young once more. A brief and inter-
esting statement of the history of the
regiment by Col. Aldace F. Walker
was read by Comrade S. H. Holbrook.
The manner and responsibility of the
23d of June capture was discussed by
several.
William Williams made the speech
of the day, in which he compared in
most interesting manner our old with
the new navy and gave his views of
the Philippine question. 1t was voted
to hold the next reunion at the same
place sometime between the first and
tenth Of August, 1900. A vote Of
thanks was given Mr.. and Mrs. HoI-
brook and Captain Holbrook of the
Alma for the pains taken for the COM
fort Of the comrades.

Secretary Root is showing his good
sense by putting in all his time famil-
iarizing himself with the workings
of the mammoth business machine
known as the War Department, leav-
ing the routine affairs of the depart
ment in the hands of his faithful sub
ordinates until he gets all the infor-
formation he desires. Every day
since ne was sworn in he has spent
consulting with the heads of the va
rious bureaus of the department and
he is already beginning to get hold of
the numerous threads Of the depart
mental system. The talk about prob
able changes that he will make is idle
at this time. AS he put it, "better
wait until know what is being done
before talking about changes"

RECEPTION TO ADMIRAL DEWEY.

In response to an invitation from
Governor Smith, a large number of
the representative men of the state
met him in Montpelier last Wednes-
day to make arrangements for a
popular demonstration in honor of
Admiral Dewey upon his reaching the
city of his birth.
After some discussion it was voted,
on motion of ex-Gov. Stewart that
Gov. Smith be chairman, er- r-oficio, of
a committee of one from each county
to be appointed by the governor, this
committee to confer with committee
to be appointed by the city of Mont
pelier to formulate plans for the re-
ception. n. w. Fisk and Mayor Cor
don urged that the reception should
be a state affair and that the state
should pay the bills.
The question of mobilizing the
National Guard of Vermont at Mont
pelier at the time of the reception
was discussed. Quartermaster Gen
eral Gilmore stated that the troops
could be armed, equipped and mus
tered at Montpelier during that time.
The governor, on geing interrogated,
stated that it is his intention to exer-
else the power given him to call the
troops out once year and will have
the regiment equipped and modified
at Montpelier on that occasion. The
meeting voted to leave the matter of
taking the troops to New York to the
committee to be appointed by the
governor but voted unanimously that
it was the sense of the meeting that
they should not be taken.
B. F. Fifeld presented a resolution
providing that the governor be en-
powered to go to an expense not
exceeding O,O00, to be signed by
hundred responsible citizens prom
ising him reimbursement should the
next legislature fail so to do. This
paper met with popular favor and
the amount was pledged by those
present within a few moments. The
governor will probably appoint the
committee within a few days, he wish

Now that Wendell P Stafford of ST.
Johnsbury has announced his candi
dacy for congressman in the second
district to succeed Gen. W. w. Grout,
it seems evident on the face of this
that the General is after larger game.
It is probably the seat in the nations
senate now held, temporarily, by the
Hon. Jonathan Ross. If this is so, the
people will gladly acquiesce, we be-
Iieve, as his long and honorable career
at Washington in the halls of congress
clearly gives him the right and title to
the senatorship over any other man

About ten o'clock. after the family
had retired, the father was awakened
by the screams of an eisht-year-Old

Her calls for help" were quickly
answered by Mr.. Bietz.
Reaching the room he found the
lamp broken and the furniture in
general disorder. a light was Sc
cured and a startling sight was eX-
posed. On the bed with the. little
girl was ii total stranger, evidently
about 81 or 80 years of age. He was
sound asleep. Mr.. BietZ searched
the fellow without awakening him.
In a hip pocket he found a leather
billy. Aside from that there was no
weapon of kind.
Without disturbing the intruder Il
revolver was brought up to the room.
The man was then awakened. He
was in an ugly mood and immedi-
ately commenced Il TRADE against
those who had disturbed him. He
insisted that he was in his boarding
house and that his board bill had
been paid in advance. After a few
minutes. probably discovering his
mistake, he wilted. The man told Il
pretty straight story and was allow
ed to depart withou! being arrested.
He said he was Il barber, that he
was employed in Il shop ON Market
street and that his name was Davis.
He reached Akron only few days
ago from Chicago. Monday night he
met Il number of companions and be-
gan drinking. He said that he had
had only four dinks of whiskey. After
that his mind was blank. He said
that when he started out he had 800. |
OF this $50 was in checks and $50 in
money. When awakened he had
nothing.
He does not know what became of
the money. Tuesday morning Mr..
Bietz called at the address the stran-
ger had given him. He found the
man at work.
