IP J! AIMING FOR

Soldiers Wish TO Visit the National

Ihsre Is still come doubt as to whether
Or not the SEVENTEEN Regiment will attend
the Centennial exercises in Washington on
December 18th. but 1t is more than likely
that the soldiers win go.
The Washington people aave not said, as
yet, Just what they will do toward fur
nshing quarters and subsistence to the
soldiers. Governor Tyler is very anxious
for the regiment to attend, as ne and his
stan will be IN attendance. The Governor
VIII ny to work out a plan whereby the
expenses OF railroad transportation may
De equaiiEed among the soldiers. In other
worus, the idea Is to have the COS. the
same to soldiers in Lynchburg and Danv;l!e
as to those in Richmond and S.auntor.
II is hoped 10 be able to get uniform
rate OF not more than two dollars sor the
round-trip for all the soldiers.
NAY RECEIVE AID.
In the event the Washington people do
not furnish subsistence, and the regiment
shah so, something may be done TO assist
the soldiers in s1es ting the necessary eS-
penses while at the national capital.
An order has been Issued from the Asi-
jutant-GeneraTs Office to the effect that
every commissioned officer must pass ey-

THE GOULD WILL CASE.
Judge TyIer's Opinion UNFOLDING the
TestRtor's First Will

The decision of the Vermont supreme
court in the will case of the late William
f. Gould of Townshend is of more than
usual interest, involving as it does the
question of law whether the destruction of
testator's second will revives first will
which has been kept undestroyed and
uncancelled. The case was heard at the
January term at Montpelier. The decis-
ion is in favor of the validity of the first
will. The opinion was written by Judge
James NJ. Tyler. Judge Tyler reviews at
length the decisions and authorities in
English and American courts in such cases,
reachingt he conclusion that "the most rea-
sonable rule that can be formulated makes
the question of revivor depend on the in
tention of the testator at the time of the
destruction of the revoking will" His
conclusion in the case under trial is con-
tanned in these closing paragraphs:
1.-The evidence introduced in this case
tended TO show that the testator Gould !
executed the will in controversy Aug. 81,
1880, and that after the death of his wife
in 1882 he handed the will to his son, the
prepayment, and requested him to keep it,
and that the proponent did keep it in a
safe in Hartford, Conn, where he resided !,
that in the winter of 1898 4,the proponent
was at the testator's house in Townshend,
VT, when the testator inquired of him
about the will and spoke of adding codi-
Gil to it for the purpose of providing a
home for his sister, who was his house
keeper, but the will being in Hartford, a
codicil was not added; that his sister died
in 1898, and that soon after her death the
prepayment, at the testator's request, went
home to live and kept house for him until
his death in $780, that soon after the pro-
pOnents return to the testator's house the
latter handed him a second will to read
which he made in May, 1896, and which
the testator then destroyed by burning in
the proponents presence; that the testatoT
then said to the proponent in substance:
You do not want to say anything about
our business here, or that will you have
got, and do not let any one get it away
from you. want it to go exactly as it
says
THE proponent presented the will of
1850 for allowance and proved its execu-
ton and the testator's testamentary capac-
lty. The contestants were permitted to
prove the execution of the second will and
its provisions and its destruction.
Upon the foregoing facts the will of
1850 should have been admitted to probate
The pro tormo judgment is reversed, YER
dict set aside and cause remanded."

senator Ross on Insular Affairs.

Senator Ross OF Vermont called up
Tuesday in the United States Senate his
bill"lregulating appointment to and remov-
ais from civil offices in outlying dependent
cies of the United States" and addressed
the Senate in an extended argument main
tanning that the appointments should be
non-partisan and no office holder should
be removed without having an opportuni-
ty to mt eecharges properly made and duly
established.
Senator Hale of Maine did not
share in the expectations of Mr.. Ross as
to the carrying out of the perfect program
marked out by him for our insular pos
sessions. He said: From the days of the
Romans TO the present time is a history of
robbery, speculation extravaganza, wrong
doing in high quarters and corruption
broad and large. | do not think that the
examples OF today are going to show that
the American people are to be exempt
from the monstrous evils which have al
ways attended colonial policy"
Senator Ross having called for vote on
his bill, Senator Scott wv. Va moved to
postpone indefinitely. The motion was
lost, 10 to 81.

city Charter for BrattIeborO.

Shall Brattleboro have city charter
The question has already been answered
in the affirmative by many of the pro-
gressive citizens of the town, who would
be proud to have Brattleboro step out of
its swaddling clothes into a more elaborate
municipal dress, such as is gracefully worn
by st. Adams, Montpelier and Barre. all
of which profess to have been benefited bv
the change from town and village govern
ment. Vermont has but six cities, though
one town, Bennington, has adopted
several city features, relating principally
to judicial matters. With a city charter
there would come some advantages which
the village cannot now boast, and which
would at least find favor with those who
would escape the annual annoyance of
court duty at Newfane. Many of the
cases now appealed to county court, with a
municipal court would go direct to the
higher tribunals, and thus simplify and
expedite court proceedings. OF course
there are those who jealousy hold fast to
the old system of town and village govern
ment, and to them the idea of city functions
is repugnant. Whether they be in a
majority is question that can only be
settled by ballot. To those faVoring A
city charter the time has arrived for action,
so it is quite possible that something will
be done this fall, favorable or otherwise

Vernon, a splendid Rs..rroIr.
From the Fair Haven Era


We have been supplying the nation with
brain, Drawn and sinew since the time
when the colonies were struggling for their
independence. Vermont has sent more of
her best blood to people the young West,
and to infuse new vigor and life into the
tagging vitality of those who dwell in cities
than any other eastern state Her sons
have drunk deep at the fountai of liberty
and when the call came for the Green
Mountain boys otake up arms against the
enemy no state did more to crush the OPP
pressor. Again in 1851, no commonwealth
did as much, comparing the size of states,
to defeat the Rebellion. Many, many
times the troops of other states had cause
TO thank the sturdy soldiers of old Yer
mont for saving them from crushing de-
feat. Vermont is still sending her sons
out into the world, even to the uttermost
ends of the earth, and wherever they have
gone their influence for good has been felt.
Neighboring states have drawn largely up
on her for brain and blood and the supply
is not exhausted. Well may it be said
that Vermont has a splendid reservoir to
draw upon, and we are still willing TO sup,
ply the world with the best that is in us.

The Harrison administration in Chica-
go has spent in three years more than So
600, 900, not including 10000, 900 in spe-
clal assessments. This is SO, 900, 600 more
than had been spent in any three years
under any previous administration. Even
this would not be so alarming if the city's
funds had not become depleted in the
meantime. Nor does the city seem to
have secured the worth of its money in
the way of municipal improvements. The
conclusion is forced that the amount add
ed to the city ayrolls-nearly $4,000, 600
is responsible for most of the deficit, and
that the additional expenses of the city
have been for the benefit of the ward heel
er and politician.

VERMONT PHOENIX, BRATTLEBORO FRIDAY, 1900
Bailey, the Psncham Forger, Arrested
In Havana.

A telegra IN received in st. Johusbury
Tuesday from Frank d. Hall at Havana
announced that Walter II. Bailey of Peach
am was at Havana and under arrest.
When Bailey fled to New York two weeks
ago he made no secret of his plans to go to
Cuba and it is now known that he sailed
last Thursday. Since his departure from
Vermont more forged endorsements on his
notes have turned up and the total amount
is over $4,000 and may amount to $4,000 or
$4,000. His brother-in-law Col. George
b. NJ. Harvey of the North American Re
view and Harper publications. has bis name
forged on notes amounting to $1,000 and
Bailey also forged the name of Charles j..
Bell of Walden, besides about half dozen
other well-to-do Peacham people. These
notes are all held in Peacham and it now
turns out that Bailey had made a practice
in the past dozen years of raising money
in this way and when found out had made
some sort of settlement.

THE MOODY SCHOOLS.
The New Summer Term at Mount
HermOn Opened with an enrolment
of 40 Young men.

The New Summer Term at Mount
HermOn Opened with an enrolment
of 40 Young men.
Mount Hermon school, which Mr..
Moody founded, has Just opened its first
spring and summer term with an enroll
ment of 10 young men. This is a new
departure with some specially interesting
features. The term will last 1G weeks, all
branches of secondary education being
taught by full corps of teachers, with
special opportunities for Bible study. The
mornings are given to classes, the after
moons to manual work and recreation.
The eighty new students who have
entered, many of them for this summer
term only, come chiefly from New York
and New England, but represent also
Canada, the South and West, England
and Scotland, Norway, Macedonia and
Japan. Many are boys of High school
age, but the majority are 20 years old or
more. One has been a pastor, several
have been engaged in city missions, a
dozen or more have been active in Y. NJ.
G. A. work, as many others Sunday school
superintendent or teachers, and a large
number have been active in the work OF
young peoples societies.
English and history, with the Bible,
elocution and music, are the studies select,
ed by most of these, while a course OF
lecture talks on general physics is very
popular. Besides the regular Bible courses
covering the principal parts of the Old
Testament, the life of Christ, the use OF
the Bible in meetings and in persona
work, course in Romans is being given
daily by Rev. r, A. Torrey, who is also
speaking daily at the chapel service. He
will be followed later by Rev. G. l. Scofeld
Robert E. Speer and others.
ANY young men who desire to attend
for any part of this summer term should
address Principal H. F. Cutler, at Mount
Hermon, Mass.
