The Cruiser Olympia with Admiral

reported that the admiral will go direct
from New York to his old home in Mont
pelier. The Associated Press correspon-
dent at Manila cables that just before leav-
ing tor Hong Kong Admiral Dewey said
to him he should come at once to Mont
pelier to live, and that he further said
"One Of the things that touched me the
most, among all the many expressions of
warm feeling from the people at home, was
the raising OF a subscription in my native
state--it was started at Boston, believe
to build bronze statue Of me, to be
placed In the state house at Montpelier,
opposite the statue Of Ethan Allen. Many
a time, as boy, have looked at that
statue of Ethan Allen in wonder and ad-
miratlon. The inscription said, if remem-
ber rightfully: Surrender, in the name of
the great Jehovah and the Continental
Congress- I feel that no greater compli.
ment could be paid to me than the erec-
ton Of my statue in such place-my own
village, you know"
Gov. Smith with Mayor Senter and citi-
zens of Montpelier are already arranging
for grand reception which will be state
affair lasting two or three days and include
every town and village in the state.

WATCH THE DATE.

A meeting Of the Vermont congressional
delegation was held in Wells River Mon
day and it was voted to recommend Walter
B. Gates Of Burlington, city editor of the
Free Press, for census supervisor OF Yer
mont. This means that E. P. Kingsley Of
Athens, the other candidate, will have to
wait decade at least.
They have an electric road company in
Keene and it seems to be making about as
rapid progress as the company in Bellows
Falls. 1t was organized some years ago
and goes through the motions annually of
electing officers. A meeting Of the incor-
porators was held Monday and the old
board Of officers was reelected. No
report of progress was made.
The announcement that Admiral Dewey
intends to make Montpelier his future
home will dampen the enthusiasm of the
patriots at Washington who are endeavor-
ing to raise money to provide him home
at the nations capital. However, the
admiral would probably not refuse the gift
of handsome residence IN Washington !;
it would be handy as winter resort, even
if he never runs for office.
Here is real compliment for John Bar
rett, formerly Of Grafton, late Of Siam. 1t
is from the Springfield Republican: "John
Barrett, our late minister to Siam, recent
ly addressed the East Indian association at
Westminster, Eng, and had to apologize
for appearing without manuscript. He
had written long and studied article on
Siam, but just before starting for the meet
ing he had cleared up his papers and by
an oversight had torn his essay into very
small pieces. However, he spoke for an
hour with such ease that he drew from
Lord Reay the compliment that the lecture
had probably gained in vividness by the
destruction of the manuscript"
