It's Now Lieut.. Col. Bonett.

Congratulations to Lieut.. Col. c. M.
Bonett of the First Regiment-also of st.
Johnsbury.
The officers of the National Guard of
Vermont met at Burlington last Friday

Mimms OF st. Albans and Major Fillmore
of Bennington, retired. Major Bonett
was unanimously chosen to the first

Anniversary Services.

The anniversary sermon of the pastor
of the First Baptist church last Sunday
morning was of a very entertaining and
encouraging character. 1t showed that
in the year past more than $1,000 have
been raised and paid for current expenses
and improvements on the church build
ing and the parsonage, and that larger
sum has been given for benevolent oh.
jects than in any one year for some years
past.
Rev. Mr. Hussey reported as having
officated at II weddings and seven
funerals, preached 95 times, attended
about 60 devotional and reform meet
ing and made 4S4 pastoral calls.
With less help from the convention and
an expenditure OF as much, il not more,
money on repairs than last year, the
members and friends of the church and
parish will readily recognize the need of
special effort and liberal giving, that the
coming year may be closed without a
debt

The Last of the Season.

The band gave their last outdoor con-
cert OF the season on Saturday night, at
the Railroad street park. The air was
not really sunmery, but the boys put up
with the chilliness andgave an entertain
ing programme. A pleasant feature of
the evening for the band was the dispeus-
ing OF hot coffee and sandwiches by
Proprietor Wilcutt of the lunch wagon
stationed in that vicinity.
The public have enjoyed the bands
work the past season, and will look for
ward to renewal OF the concerts when
the zephyrs once more contain the sum-
mer flavor.

A Priests Terrible Misfortune.

The Rev. J. M. Kiely, formerly pastor
OF the Church of the TRANSPORTATION,
at Marcy avenue and Hooper street,
New York, died few days ago at St.
Mary's Hospital, that city, and his
death is said by his friends to be due
more to an electric bath he took in
Manhattan than to any other cause.
The young priest, who was strong a
year ago or more, became physical
and mental wreck He was deaf and
dumb and blind, and his great head OF
black hair became as white as snow.
His brain softened daily, and his once
clear mind became blank.
Father Kelley one day in October,
1893, drove to the church OF St. An
thony, on Manhattan avenue, Green
point, to see his friend, Rev. P. J.
O'Hare. 1t was dusk when Father
Kelley left for home in dogcart. No
one seems even yet to know just how
the accident happened, but the dogcart
was overturned at Bedford avenue and
Rodney street, and the priest was
thrown out on his head. He was never
the same man afterward. His mind be-
gan to fail, while he gradually lost the
power of hearing and of speech, he was
taken first to St. Peters Hospital, but
after few months he was removed
again to his rectory.
Then it was, it is alleged, that electric
baths were resorted to. Instead of prov
ing beneficial, they completely upset the
priest, and from state of convalescence
he rapidly passed into hopeless de-
cline. When the effects OF the electric
baths were discovered, Father Kelley
was removed to St. Mary's Hospital,
where he was attended day and night.
Father Kelley, who was formerly at
tached to the Church of the Visitation,
in the eastern district, was we'll known
as writer, orator and lecturer. He
was educated at Maynooth College,
Dublin, and had but one relative, a
nephew, living. He was a native of
Dungarvan, County Of Waterford,
where friends of his family now reside.

life. He came to America in 1852, and
completed his studies at Kenyon Col
lege. Soon sln I'd he was ordained
minister of @ecee.so list Episcopal
church, and joins, T. B., Ohio con-
ference, of which he q. so.. -,em-
Der for more than forty ye~ csyng
strongly on the subject of negl- ian
cipation, he joined, soon after the break
ing out of the civil war, the Eightieth
Ohio volunteer infantry, and speedily
rose to the rank of captain. He fought
in the bloody battle of Corinth and
throughout the trying Vicksburg cam
paign, giving splendid evidence of his
inherent Irish courage in every engage
ment. Fever laid hold of him soon after
the fall OF Vicksburg, andhe was obliged
to return to the north to recuperate.
When he rejoined his regiment it was as
chaplain, and he accompanied it in all
its subsequent arduous campaigns, in
Guiding Sherman's march to the sea.
DR.. Pepper was a great favorite with
that able and rugged chief-the most
typical of American soldiers since An
drew Jackson. When the war ended
DR.. Pepper became chaplain OF Gen.
Nelson A. Miles regiment, and served
with it in Virginia and North Carolina
for some years. He left the army in
1867 and resumed church work, in
which he was highly successful. Among
his closest personal friends were the late
Gen. John A. Logan, the Hon. James
G. Blaine, Zachariah Chandler and Wen
dell Phillips; and among his prominent
surviving friends may be mentioned
President Mckinley, Gen. Miles and
the Hon. John Sherman. Ex-President
Harrison appointed him, without solici-
tation, consul to Milan, Italy, in 1890.
Hereveled in the glories and antiquities
of the beautiful Italian peninsula, and
his book has many charming references
to his experiences in that country.
He lost his devoted wife, whom he
n arried in ireland, in 1891. This was
blow from which his tender nature
never recovered. His health began to
fail Immediately after his bereavement,
and disease of the heart finally termi-
mated his ardent and exemplary life.
DR.. Pepper leaves five children. They
are George w. Pepper, superintendent
OF the railway mail service, of Cleve-
land; S. A. Pepper, of Montana, now in
the Klondike; Charles M. Pepper, OF
Washington; Miss Lena Pepper and
Miss May S. Pepper, of Cleveland.
The greatest lecture ever delivered by
DR.. Pepper was ireland; Liberty
Springs from Her Martyrs Blood"
1t appeared in the Boston Pilot about
thirty years ago and was read by the
members of the Fenian organization
with ecstatic delight. During the Land
League movement he lectured in Min
neapolis to large audience; but his
voice was not in good trim, and though
his language was eloquent his enuncia-
ton was not agreeable to the ear. The
fact is that his broad North of ireland
accent was drawback to his oratory.
His voice did not possess the clear,
sonorous and penetrating ring that
charms an audience; and for that reason
the eloquence of his composition was
better enjoyed in the printed page than
when the words were issuing hot from
his lips on the public platform. After
hearing him twice we came to the con-
clusion that he was more of a rhetori-
clan than an orator.

AUTUMNAL EQUIEox. \,
A Period when Days ana NightL Are
Equal Throughgat the y
World.

One of the most inter .sting features
of the month lies in Il E fact that the
sun reaches the equator and starts off
on his six months joYeney in the south
declination. This ad fumnal equinox,
as it is called, gives us equal days and
nights the world over. 1t has been
found that there is slow retrograde
motion of the point of the suns cross
ing the equator from east to west, or
contrary to the order of the zodiacal
signs, as if the point advanced to meet
the sun on each annual return. To'this
phenomenon has been given the name
of the procession of the equinoxes.
This motion is at the approximate rate
of degree in II ITO years, the equator
moving on the ecliptic, while the
ecliptic retains its position nearly un-
changed among the stars.
This popularity is said to be caused
by the combined action of the sun and
moon on the mass of matter accumu-
lated about the earth's equator. In
consequence of this motion the longi-
tudes of the heavenly bodies are in
creasing, while on comparing their lat
itudes as found by the ancient astron-
omers with those of to-day only little
change indeed is found. The credit
for this important discovery is due to
Hipparchus, whose researches were
made more than 100 years before the
Christian era. One other effect of this
procession is of interest to us, and that
is its bearing on the position of the
signs of the zodiac, whose limits do
not now agree with the consultations
which bear the same names. For ex-
ample, the sign of Aries is now in the
constellation of Pisces, and so on, each
sign having BACKED" so to speak, into
the constellation west of it.-N. Y.

Strategic value Of Puerto Rico.

Until It was discovered that Puerto
Rico possessed great value as "stra-
tegic center" of naval operations, the
fair isle slumbered undisturbed, mere
ly link, and no important one, in the
emerald chain that separates the At
lantic and the Caribbean. Suddenly
naval folk became aware of its impor-
tance; they saw that while It borders
on the Caribbean sea, yet II breasts
the rough Atlantic waters; that it Is
equidistant, or about a thousand miles,
from Key West and Colon; from New
York 1900 miles, which is half the dis
tance from Cadiz; 1.se0 from Newport
News. which Is half the distance to the
