THE GREATEST SHOWS:

The Great Wallace Shows which will ex-
hibit in Montpelier Saturday, June 9, was
called "The Greatest Show" in an editorial
mentioned by the Post Of Washington, d.
O. In part the Post said:
"The Great Wallace shows represents all
that there is of the legitimate worth in the
circus business. 1t is in charge OF men who
aspire to elevate the tone and purify the at
mosphere of the calling and we believe the
thousands who have attended the perform
ances during the past two days will certify
they have succeeded. Not only was the
performance up the highest professional
and artistic standpoint, the menagerie large
and varied and the trained animals of the
best, but there was not in connection with
the Wallace Show a single one of those dis.
creditable and demoralizing features which
have done 80 much to give the circus bad
name and to discourage the true friends of
that otherwise wholesome form Of amuse-
ment"

BERLIN CORNER

Seventeen soldiers of the civil war are
bivouacing in the burial ground at Berlin
Corner. These belonged to the various
Vermont organizations, from the First cav
airy and the Second infantry up to the
Seventeenth. Among these dead is Major
Richard B. Crandall, Of the Sixth Vermont,
whom the writer knew at Dartmouth col
lege and who left its classic precincts when
the storm of civil war broke over Sumter,
and President Lincoln called for volunteers
to save the Union from disruption. "Dick"
was genial fellow, "a favorite among his
classmates, and, like thousands OF others of
the same bright class who left college halls
for the tented field, carried patriots heart
in his bosom, and was fred with martial
zeal when the call to arms came. Major
Crandall met a soldiers death on the
bloody field of Cold Harbor.
A detail from Brooks Post went to Berlin
Corner Wednesday morning. George Fl
Crandall, the managing school director,
marshalled the school children, who follow
ed the veterans to the cemetery. When
the graves Of the soldiers had received the
floral tokens of remembrance, the process.
sion returned to the church, where the GER
emonial Of the Grand Army Of the Republic
was observed. In recognition OF the court
esy OF the men OF the Brooks Post, and to
commemorate the memory Of their departed
comrades, Mr.. Crandall made a brief ad-
dress which Is here reproduced:-
In the absence OF minister or traine
speaker, 1t seems necessary for some one to
say few words Of welcome to those old
veterans who have come among US today to
help US to remember our friends and
brothers who served in the long four years
struggle to maintain our national exi stenCe
by saving the Nnion, and to decorate the
graves Of their old comrades in arms. We
give to you royal welcome. There are
but few OF the present generation that re-
member much OF the war Of the rebellion,
and the darkness and gloom that spread
like pail over the whole face of the coun-
try, for Lees surrender at Appomattox hap
pened little more than thirty five years ago
and the great majority of the old veterans
OF that day have gone on their last long
march To belong to the Grand Army today
Is as great an honor as comes to any citizen
Of the United States. Its members are sur
vivors OF the bloodiest war in all history
''No State in the Union had better men, or
braver soldiers than the old State Of Yer
mont. / miss the face of our old friend,
John W. Smith, who held the honorable po-
sition OF commander of the Post, with his
genial smile and cordial grasp Of the hand.
He has been gathered in like sheaf OF
wheat fully ripe. He is remembered with
reverance and love by large circle OF
| friends as we'll as his old comrades in
arms Long may we cherish his memory.
| AS the years go by there will be more and
| more graves to decorate and fewer of the
| old comrades to carry out the beautiful cer-
emony, pledge you in all sincerity that
| as long as Brooks Post shall honor us with o
delegation on Memorial day it will receive
| from the people of Berlin our kindest
| heartiest welcome"

That was the general verdict of the people
who attended the Wallace show yesterday
afternoon and evening. and 1t was an opin-
ion that was deserved Mauy of the princi-
pal features were entirely new, and the
trapeze work. and the performance Of the
Nelson family, and scores of other high
class people were first class In every partic-
ular. The hippodrome and racing events
were close and exciting, and were watched
with breathless interest, and some OF the
finishes brought the audience cheering to
their feet.

New Warship Is Tested.

The expectations OF the naval off,
Gals were more than equaled in the
speed trial of the new battleship Ala
bama recently. The floating fighting
machine covered the prescribed course
in such remarkable time that the title,
Queen of the Navy" has been con-
ferred upon her. An average speed OF
II knots per hour was made for pc
Rod of four hours. Although this speed
Is not as remarkable as that made by
the Iowa, still the performance Of the
Alabama is considered phenomenal.
During the trial the craft was not
overworked, and after finishing the
course was pronounced in good condi-
ton. Five sister ships, the Massachu-
sets. Indiana, Kentucky. Texas, and
Kearsage, were used as stake boats in
the trial. A triangular course was ar
ranged and the spectacle was witness
ed by many people. The vessel is the
product of American shipbuilders. 1t
was constructed by the Cramps at
Philadelphia and guaranteed to do at
least 16 knots per hour. The trial
showed that she could do II without
trouble, and it is thought that the time
on the trial trip may yet be surpassed.

RuIl Holds Up Trolley Car.

When car cane along he took up his

ncensed by the glare Of the big cleo

bent all his energies. Backing away
from the car he charged with such
fury that the car shook from end to

and when the animal finally realized
that he had met his match and wan
dered away there were two big holes
in the forward end of the car and the
headlight was useless.

more than 200 teapots. Mrs. Adams
has been about eight years in collect

receptacles and some of her. posses

unique, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
She had a friend who had spent much
time in the Orient and made a large

to emulation.
The teaDots are collected from all
the four quarters Of the globe and each
one has an interesting history. This
history their owner has set down in a

which the pot came into her~posses-
sion. There are larger collections in
the country, but few of them possess
as much historic value as do those Of
