Medals for Twelve Vermonters

The national congress of the Sons
of the American Revolution, which
met at Detroit, April 80 and May 1,
1899, says the Bennington Banner,
provided that a medal and a certii-
cate should be presented to each of
it's members who had been engaged in
the Spanish American war. Those for
the Vermont society have been receiv-
ed by it's registrar and will soon be
distributed. There are twelve of
them as follows: Col. Merritt Barber,
Assistant Adiutant General in the
Philippines; Osman Dewey Clark; Ad-
miral George Dewey; Edward q.
Dyer; Arthur &. Eaton; Mai. Henry
D. Fillmore, Bennington; William B.
Fletcher; Col. Herbert s. Foster !;
Frank Lester Greene, editor st. AL
bans Messenger; Willard j. Moore &;
John Grant Norton; Charles l..
Woodbury., Burlington.
The certificates are steel plate, the
finest possible to be made,-elegant
affairs, Sx12 inches. The gold bad
ges are spread eagle, from which
depends the cross of the society and
bears it's motto: "Li3ertas ct Pat
ria" The reverse is bly, engrav-
ed, and the back Of the eagle is left
blank for the name and number OF
the recipient The latter will be en-
graved by the State Society. This
badge is suspended from a hanger
consisting of a gold bar and ribbon,
The ribbon has a blue centre with a
border Of gold and white. The whole
is altogether most artistic. No ex.
pense, apparently, has b. en- spared
to make this recognition Of patriot
ic services during the war with Spain
worthy the men and the event. These
medals and certificates we're designed
and made by Myer Of Washington, D
c., and Tiffany, of New York City.

The verdict of guilty in the Molineux
case was a complete surprise to al
most everybody who had followed
the testimony as published. The
great majority who had followed the
case closely enough to form an opin-
ion, believed him guilty, but thought
the jury would not convict on expert
testimony, so that everyone expected
either an acquittal or a disagree
ment. But the Jury was made up of
high grade men, and the fact that
they agreed upon verdict of guilty
shows that the case was stronger
against the prisoner in the minds of
those who saw and heard everything
occurring in the courtroom than it
was with those who merely read
about it. The prisoner has been SEN
fenced to be executed during the week
of March "a, but it is doubtful if he
ever sits in the chair, as every effort
possible will be made for new trial.

WESTFIELD.


Master Roy Miller is spending a few days
in Newport.
Miss Orcelia Atwood has gone to Spring
field, Mass, for a few weeks.
Miss Ada Brown and Miss Dolly Trumpass
have finished their schools and are at home.
A. W. Farnam and Mrs Hibbard of New
port were guests of Mr.. and Mrs Willard Far
man recently.
A. c. Hitchcock presented to our town libra
ry eighty-six books recently, for which we
are very grateful.
Miss Laila Brown entertained several of the
young people Friday evening last in honor
OF her sixteenth birthday.
The best entertainment to which our peo-
pie have been treated for many years, took
place last Wednesday evening, in the dedica-
tory exercises of our new building, which is to
be known as the Hitchcock Museum and
Westfeld Town Library Building" The
building is a very fine one, and contains many
fine specimens in the museum and fund is
left for the benefit of the museum, which is in
the upper part of the building, leaving the
lower part for the books of our library. A.
G. Hitchcock gave $4,000 for this building,
as a permanent fund, in honor of son who
died several years ago. 1t is magnificent
gift and the towns people are very grateful
to the donor for it. The dedicatory exercis-
es consisted of speeches by State Supt. M. s.
Stone of Montpelier, 0. s. Anns, Esq, of No.
Troy, A. W. Farman and o. c. Miller of New
port, all former Westfield boys, and of whom
Westfeld people are justly proud. A quartet
rendered fine selections, and the reading of a
letter from Miss Helen M. Winslow of Boston
completed an interesting program.

THE

THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION.
Practically Daily at the Price of
Weekly.

Practically a Daily at the Price of a
Weekly.
The striking and important events
of the last year have established the
overwhelming value of the Thrice-a-
Week World to every reader. For an
almost nominal sum it has kept in
formed of the progress OF all our
wars, and, moreover, has reported
them as promptly and as fully as il
it we're a daily. With our interests
still extending throughout the world,
with our troops operating IN the
Philippines, and the great Presiden-
tial campaign, too, at hand, its value
is further increased.
The motto of The Thrice a-Week
World is improvement. 1t strives
each year to be better than twas the
wear before, and public confidence in
it is shown by the fact that it now
circulates more than twice as many
papers every week as any other news
paper, not daily, published in Amer
lea.
We offer this unequaled newspaper
and the News AND CITIZEN together
the year for $1.75.

The factional fight of the Delaware
Republicans shows no signs of end
ing, and it is asserted that there will
be two contrasting delegations to the
national convention this year. 1t
would serve the leaders OF these fac
lions right if both we're excluded from
the convention hall. In any case they
will not be welcomed very heartily,
for Republicans throughout the coun.
try have not forgotten that the Del
aware quarrels have been responsible
upon two different occasions for de-
priving the publican majority in
the United States Senate of one vote
The first time this occurred the vote
was sorely needed, and it does not
make matters much better that the
vacancy from Delaware now existing
has not embarrassed the party.

larger towns be given an increased

that this is the best way out of the

that the present house of representa-
tives is already too large and to
make it still larger would be detri-
mental to the best interests Of the

JOHN RUSKIN DEAD.
Famous Among writers and Thinkers
ofa Past Generation.

MIR. Ruskin was the sor Of wealthy
London merchant and was born in Lon
ion In February, 1873. He was graduated
at Christ Church, Oxford. In 1888, having
taking the NswdlRate prize for poetry,
and after his graduation studied art I'M
der Copley Fielding and j. ID. Harding.
A Great admirer of the artist Turner. he
became known es an ant critic through
a pamphlet which he wrote In defence
of that artist ami the Modern English
School OF Landscape painting. This
pamphlet he made the hasls of his MOD
ern Painters" tie first volume OF which
appaared In 1s4s. The work was well re-
osiyed, but provoked considerable con-
troversy. Tho second volume appeared
in 1st6, after Mr.. Ruskin had spent some
time In Italy, and this was followed ty
three later volumes, the last Of which,
published in 1850, contained iliustFa-
lions from his own pencil. Mr.. Rus
kin's studies Of art includ, d at one time
the study of architecture, and as resu Its
he published 1.-THE seven Lamps OF
Architecture" 10 1s49 and "The Stories
of Venice the several volumes of which
appeared from 1851 to 1861 Mr.. Ruskin
was a frsqusnt l,Oturer and contributor
to the newspapers and reviews. He was
appointed Rede Lecturer for Cam bridge
In 1867 and received the degree OF LII. ID.
from that university. He was also elect
ed Slade professor of fine art at Oxford.
He was a man who in many ways was
an eccentric, With lofty respect fol- his
own opinion and a large lack Of reser-
ence for tenets and schools ether than
HIS own. His Inherited largo wealth In
the use OF which no was most liberal to
the poor. building model lodging houses
and engaging in various enterprises for
their Instructions. He was strange
man In his private life and romantic
story is told of his brief married life. He
welded beautiful woman, much young
er than himself, for whom, however, he
BESTOWED only q Platcnic affection. They
were unsuited to each ether and the
lady found more oonRenial companion
ship with the artist Miilais, whom Rus
kin had engaged to paint her picture.
The husband soon perceived this, asked
his wife If she had not made mistake
in marrying him and was frankly
answered in tue affirmative. Tho feel
ings CT MilIais were numbered and
when the husband discovered that
the artist had that in his heart for the
woman which he himself could not give.
he decided upon o remarkable step. A
divorce took place and the lady became
the wife of Millais, who still retained
Ruskin's warm friendship.
Ruskin was subje to delusion, often
of painful character. The most obsti-
nate of these WAS the Idea that he was
utterly ruined and upon the verge OF star
walton.

X. X. Co., Boston:
Dear Sir-I desire TO withdraw all the
suggestions or proposals that have re-
Gently made In bshAlf of this company
locking TO q lease by 10 Of your company.
My proposals were based upon q we'll
grounded and positive belief that, By n
PERMANENT union OF these properties I'M
der single management and more espec-
tally by the consolidation Ut their ocean
terminals at Boston, the pu blio interest
wuc.d be better served and the CONNER
| cial Industries OF all northern New kna
| land and notably OF tho state OF Massa-
| ohusstts and Of the port Of Boston would
he immsssurnbly benefited. Nothing has
yet occurred to cause me to change this
belief In the slightest degree.
After you had made preliminary pre-
sanitation Of this general subject to Jour
executive committee, you advised mo
that q substantial majority Of Jour board
would probably coincide with this view.
Within the past few days. however, !
have been advised by you verbally. and
by certain public uttsrances by yourself
and by other Inc mbers Of your board.
that the views of the states directors In
your board were likely to be at variance
with thoss Of your other directors, and
that you feared the states stock might
be voted against the proposed lease, even
though 10 should be approved by major
ity Of the private share-holdoes; and
that you doubted whether you ought to
go on with negotiations that might pre-
cipitste a contest between these two In
tsrests In your propeIty.
/ am In full accord with your views as
to this newly discovered contingency, as
II Is my sincere belief that the business
OF no public servioe corporation can be
successfully carried on unless it be man
aged In general accord with the public
interest; and also should decline to con-
tinue u negotiation about this or any
other subject, no matter In how good
faith toward public or private interests
1t may have been beg un, that would be
likely to arouse u conflict with the Com
monwealth or with those charged for tie
time being with the management OF Its
vested interests.
l am, therefore, constrained to bring to
an end our very cordial negotiations up
on this snbje"s, and to request the return
Of whatever memoranda l may bavs
handed you in connection Herewith.
LUCIUS FUTILE, President.
