partment, was in Bratteboro Tuesday 70
get additional information to embody in
his recommendation relative to the estab-
lishment of rural free delivery routes In
Guilford and West Brattleboro. What he
desired especially was 10 have carriers and
substitute carriers designated and to have
them furnish the necessary bonds. George
+. Houghton was designated as carrier for
the proposed Guilford route and Frank Il.
Laughton was designated as substitute.
For the West Brattleboro route Bert Z.
Sargent was designated as carrier and Wal
ter Z. Bartlett as substitute.
The proposed West Brattleboro route
has met with no opposition, but as will be
seen by communications elsewhere in this
paper some of the Guilford people are op-
posed TO the establishment of the proposed
Guilford route because they object to the
discontinuance of the Guilford post-otfice.
petition signed by the patrons of the
Hale post-ottice has been presented to Post
master Webster this week asking for the
extension of the proposed West Brattle-
boro route so as TO include that village
even though il be necessary to abolish the
post-office. The petition will not be acted
upon until autumn.
To include Hale village the proposed
route would have to be extended five or
six miles, and in the event that the petit
ton is acted upon fayorably it is likely tina,
the West BrattlebOrO route would be diyid-
ed into two routes.

THE BAND CONCERT.
A Refined and Artistic Entertainment
by the First Regiment Band and 9th
er Musicians.

A Refined and Artistic Entertainment
by the First Regiment Band and 9th
err Musicians.
The impression of a refined and elevat-
ing entertainment was left upon the minds
of all who attended the annual concert by
the First Regiment band in the Audltori-
um Tuesday evening. The band was as
sisted by Master Gerald Lambert of Bos
ton, boy soprano of note; f. II. Miller,
baritone Mrs. A. V. Lane, accompanist;
Ta1ey Mauch, cornet virtuoso, and Ar
thur Geoffrion, clarinetist.
Master Lambert is u years old and he
has won the plaudts of many musical
critics. His range is wide and his voice
possesses a peculiarly sympathetic timbre
which appeals to all lovers of music. 1t
is cultivated, also, and is under absolute
control. Master Lamberts first selection
was because Love You Dear" by Haw
lev, and he responded to an encore with
Molloy's "When I'm Big I'll Be a Sol
der" His second selection was 1.-THE Ho-
ly City," and his encore song "Snow-
fakes" by Cohen. There are 10j songs
in his repertory, all of which he has mem
orized
Mr.. Miller's excellent voice appeared to
be in unusually good condition, especially
in his second group of songs, "Invoca-
tion," by Guy d Hardelot, and "Dreams"
by Anton Strelezki, and in his charming
encore song, "Sleep Little Baby of Mine"
by Charles Dennee, which was gem. His
work, as well as that of Mrs McLane,
whose superior conception of the art of
accompanying has been demonstrated
many times, was done with its usual force
and effectiveness. Mr.. Miller's last num-
hers were with violin obigato by G. NJ.
Dugan. His first selection was Jung
Werner's Parting Song" by Nessler.
Mr.. Mauch rendered the "Infsmmatus"
from Stabat Mater and responded to an en-
core with a familiar Scotch air. He is a
cornetist Of unusual ability, and while he
produced some beautiful tone effects it was
evident that the Auditorium was not ad-
vantageous for his work. Mr. Geoffrion
rendered valuable service, but he had no
solo part
The work of the band, under the lead
ership of F. C, Leitslnger, was thor
oughly satisfactory. Whether in the plan
issimo passages or in the climaxes there
was the same superb harmony, and the
tineness OF tone and the delicate shading
in the softer strains was very effective.
The arrangement of the program was
skilfully done, each selection being of a
nature different from the one that preced-
ed 1t. Paderewskrs minuet, with its bril-
liant climaxes, "Le Secret" an intermezzo
by Gautier, with its catchy passages, and
the familiar airs from Faust were favor
ties with the audience.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The program for graduation week ap-
pears elsewhere.
The class of 1901 again defeated the
other three classes at the annual field day
of the school last Friday. The victory
was not so easily won last year as il was
this. The summary of the events is given
in another column.
The base ball team defeated the Monta-
que High school team last Saturday by
score of 10 TO 2. This is the first game
the team has won this season with the ex-
ception of one Memorial day against the
local Y. NJ. c. A. team. Probably the
team will not play another game this sea-
son.
The seniors began rehearsing their class
ode yesterday. The sentiments are quite
different from those generally appearing in
such compositions. The tune is Sweet
Alton. Fred E. Gilbert deserves much
praise for the production. A novelty
about it will be the rendering of all the
parts, the class being gifted with singers.
Regular class work for the seniors closed
today.

Circus Follower GOtIaO D.vs.

A follower of Wallace's circus was ar
rested by the detective employed by the
show Sunday afternoon for stealing har-
ness and an overcoat belonging to the w.
A. Dutton estate, and was placed in the
lookup. He was arraigned before Justice
W. S. Newton Monday morning He
pleaded guilty and was fined $40 and costs,
amounting to S2S. The young man said
his name was James Conroy and that he
was born in OneOnta, n. Y, 10 years ago.
He said that this was the first time he had
been arrested and that he probably would
not have gotten into trouble had he not
taken several drinks of liquor. Conroy
went into the Dutton barn on Depot street
about 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon, wrapped
the articles up in a piece of bed ticking
and took them to the island, where he sold
the collar to W. f. Walker for 10 cents and
the harness to Ned Wallace, an employee
of the circus, for % cents. On his way
home Mr.. Walker met D. D. Dutton who
identified the collar, and the prosecution
followed. COnroy said he would be unable
to pay the fine as he had but SO and no
friends, and he chose the alternative sen.
tence of three days in the house of Ger
rection in Rutland for each dollar of his
fine and costs together with the cost of
commitment, which was S12, the sentence
amounting to 120 days. He was taken
to Rutland Monday night. Conroy said he
had been following the circus only three
or four days.

Body OF Allen VI. Parker Chase Found
at NOrIhneId Sunday--WRs In Brattle-

Harvard.
The body of Allen NJ. Parker Chase of
Cambridge, Mass, was found floating in
the Connecticut river near the Mortified
bridge by Mt. Hermon students, Sunday
afternoon. DR.. G.. p. Twitchell was called
as medical examiner. The body was taken
by the young mans father, Monday, to
Cambridge for cremation at Mt. Auburn.
Dr.. Twitchell thinks the body must
have been in the water at least ten days.
The first clue to Identification WAS in a
letter from the young mans mother, found
in his pocket. Mr. Chase left Linden
Lodge in Brattleboro, ten days before the
body was found, and ii was supposed he
had gone away for a visit, as he had fire.
quently done. He was a guest at Linden
Lodge, and not patient in BraJtleboro
Retreat, as has been stated. He was as
unrestricted in his liberty as any guest at
the Brooks House. His friends think that
he was overcome by physical weakness
while walking by the river, and that he
fell from the bank.
Mr.. Chase was 81 years old, and gradu-
ated from Harvard in 1890, taking the
additional degree of A. NJ. two years later.
He was a classmate of +. w. Atkinson of
Springfield, Mass, who was appointed
commissioner of education in the Philip
pines recently, and intended accompanying
him to the Philippines as an assistant.
Some months ago he had nervous prostra-
ton and his visit to Brattleboro was part
of d prolonged rest for recuperation.

The campaign in Oregon was fought
mainly on this plank of the Republican
platform: "We heartily endorse the pol
icy of the administration, and particu-
larly in securing the Philippine islands,
and demand that they shall be retained as
American territory. We have confidence
that the American people, without depart
ing from their traditions. will give securi-
" to personal and property rights, justice,
liberty and equality before the law to all
who live beneath its flags. We indorse
the policy of the administration in sup
pressing the insurrection in the Philippines
headed by Aguinaldo.

PRICE MEMORIAL.
Elegant Portrait of Gov. Theodore

Elegant Portrait of Gov. Theodore
Roosevelt for Grade 8 in Ihe High
school Building.
The prudential committee of school dis
trict No. have received this week from
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Price of Chicago an
elegant portrait OF Gov. Theodore Roose-
welt of New York, to be hung in the High
school building in the room occupied by
Grade o. taught by Mrs. Jennie T. War
rem, in memory of Mr.. and Mrs. Prices
son Harold, who died in 1896. Mr.. Price
and family lived in Brattleboro during the
summer of 1896 and Harold attended
school in grade 6. He was a particularly
bright and winsome lad, and his grave is
kept green by his classmates, who are now
in grade 9. He was great admirer of the
worlds heroes, and for this reason his
parents decided that this memorial to him
should be portrait of the modern hero
most worthy of emulation by every Amer
lean boy.
They selected as such a hero Theodore
Roosevelt, the leader of the Rough Riders
in the Spanish American war, and Gov.
Roosevelt indicated the portrait which he
liked best. 1t is about two-thirds full
length and shows the governor in his
Rough Rider costume. 1t is handsomely
mounted and is enclosed by a beautiful,
heavy oak frame finished in olive. A
bronze tablet indicates the object of the
gift. In response to a request from Mr..
Price Gov. Roosevelt wrote the following
which has been inscribed underneath the
portrait:
In military life a true American
soldier should show courage, hon
estY and common sense, and it is
these same and only qualities
which we must show in civic life,
if we are to make America what
America should be.
