The present week has been marked by
that annual occasion when the grateful
people of a free and united country join in
giving expression to the feelings OF graft
tude which they cherish for the brave de-
Tenders of their country. The services
which marked this observance were as
truly in honor of the gray-haired survivors
of the nations battles as of the thousands
of veteran dead, and as truly in honor OF
the survivors of the last conflict as OF those
who fought for the preservation OF the
Union. All heard the same voice OF duty
and walked in the same path of honor.
Upon the program of exercises which
was carried ont in Brattleboro were repre-
sentatives of the church, the school and
the army, which, to use the words of Gen.
Henry Dwight, are the three safeguards OF
the American republic And it was with
mingled feelings of pride and emotion as
we'll as that of gratitude, that the citizens
of the town turned out to catch the in
spiration of their words and deeds. The
observance in Brattleboro was under ideal
weather conditions. Following is report
in detail of the exercises and services.

The Phoenix told, several weeks ago, of
a book of the genealogy of the Temple
family, compiled by Rev. l.. d. Temple of
Pennington, n. j., formerly of Brattle-
boro, which includes several Windham
county people. Mr. Temple will derive
more pleasure from the book than he an
ticipated The Pennington Democrat
Advertiser of last Thursday said For
tune is looking kindly toward Rev. l.. d.
Temple of the Pennington Baptist church.
Mr.. Temple recently published a volumin-
Gus genealogy of the Temple family, reach
ing back many years, The difficult and
painstaking work attracted much atten-
ton throughout the various branches of
the family, embracing many hundreds of
names, and wealthy gentleman of the
family in one of the New England states
has had his interest in the Temple ances-
try so awakened that he has prevailed up
on our friend Temple to proceed to Europe
at his expense-for the purpose of Sc
curing additional genealogical information.
Mr.. Temple will probably secure leave of
absence from his church and cross the
ocean in July, returning in September
A trip abroad under these conditions is
doubly desirable. We congratulate MI
Temple upon the good luck which awaits
him as a partial recompense for the many
weary days of toll which he has bestowed
upon his valuable genealogical work"

Larry Kinsella, the once famous pitcher,
catcher, short stop and all around star
of the victorious u. V. NJ. base ball team,
has been elected manager of the base bali
team at Great Falls, Montana. He is but
20 years old and has been on the diamond
for 10 years, He is probably the best all
around ball player in the East
A game Of base ball waa played on the
island grounds Wednesday morning be-
tween the High school and a picked team.
Hinsdale High sceool had been advertised
to play, but cancelled the date. The High
schools were easy winners in an uninter-
esting game, the score being 20 to 6. The
batteries were Houghton and Frost and
Leitsinger, Cundiff and Tufts.
Vermont Academy won from Gushing
Academy Memorial day in a fast game,
Neither side scored until the sixth inning,
when Gushing succeeded in getting one
run. In the seventh the Vermont boys
made connections between the ball and the
bat and eight runs were scored. The
features of the game were the work of botl
batteries and the three-bagger by Huse
scoring three men. The score by innings

in the building trades at Chicago has had
serious business effects. Street railway
revenues have been reduced by something
like $1,000 a day. Storekeepers have suf-
fered severely in the labor residence dis
tricts, and the department stores have not
escaped the blight. The theatres notice it..
Many people have been forced to leave the
city, and hundreds have been made desti-
tute and subjects of public charity. Alto
gether the strike has been nothing less than
a great public calamity.

Address by Rev. X. X. Marvin.

Rev. Mr.. Marvin said, in substance:
"The day that is both happy and sad has
again appeared when the members of your
army are the honored guests of free and
grateful people. The onward march of
time increases rather than diminishes the
debt the nation owes its preservers. The
accumulation of years and clearer vision of
truth serve to convince the thoughtful
more and more of the righteousness of the
cause you upheld at so much sacrifice. But
this same onward march of time dims
rather than brightens the lustre of the ma
jOrity of the worlds wars. The present
age does not concern itself so much with
the details of wars, which differ little, as
with the motives of wars, which differ
much.
"The pages of history that are the
brightest, over which we pause the long
est, are those which record the deeds of
men who went forth to fight, and die if
need be, for the truth. We stop and Won
der at the old Crusades because they orlgi-
mated in desire to free the holy land and
the cause of the Prince of Truth from the
clutches of the heather unbelievers. But
the lover of truth and Justice cannot find
anything admirable in such reasons as
moved Darius to invade Greece at the head
of a splendid army. Pompey, Caesar,
Charlemagne and Charles the Fifth were
ambitious, but personal success was their
motto. Napoleon was ambitious, but he
had no scruples, and his blood-stained
path led downward to destruction.
"Thus it has ever been with those who
have drawn the sword simply to further
selfish ends, no matter how great the gen.
ius may have been. Genius, even, cannot
stem the tide against the force of that di
vine law which has decreed that truth and
Righteousness alone can eXalt nation.
"Eyery ambition, by multitudes or by

mics.
The High school and the ninth grade of
the Grammar school held their observance
in the High school room Tuesday morning.
The decorations in the main room were
elaborate and effective. United States
flags were used in profusion. The wall in
the rear of the speakers platform was
draped with flags surrounding large por-
trait of George Washington. On either
side was a state flag and the Grand Army
flags. The dooT-ways and alcoves were
also draped in red, white and blue. Blunt
ing was used effectively in decorating the
three chandeliers, extending from them in
acknowledged patterns. Ferns, lilacs
and wild flowers were also used in the dec
OratiOns.
The exercises began at 10 o'clock. The
opening number on the program was a
song "Hail Columbia" by chorus. Fol
lowing came scripture reading and pray
er by Rev. H. r. Miles. Fred G. Adams
sang the "Recessional,' assisted by mem
bers of the school. G. H. Thompson OF
the school committee was the first speaker.
He dwelt upon the relation of the indiVi.
| dual to the government. The Glee club
| then sang the Soldiers Farewell" G.
G. Fits was the next speaker. He spoke in
a historical strain; of the cause of the wal
and of its various results.

school base ball teams played a slow and
uninteresting game at Riverside park last
Saturday afternoon, the contest resulting
in victory for the visitors by score of
100, The only redeeming feature was the
pitching and stick work of Mccormick,
who struck out 10 men and made two two
base hits. For Brattleboro the playing of
Capt. Raymond Frost was good but he
failed to steady his team at critical points
as was shown in the eighth inning when
two infelders collided in quest of pop
fly, thereby allowing two men to score.
