Minister WIZ Says the EcpIblic VIII
BECOME Greatest Power On Earth.
Several thousand persons gathered
tla Independence square ut Philadel-
phia on the Fourth Of July to see and
Near WI Ting Fang, the Chinese min
lster. Minister WI was Ele orator of
the day at the municipal celebration OF
Independence day. and the friendly re-
ecpton given the distinguished guest
must have allayed all fears for his.
sufety despite the fact that he had re-
Sawed an anonymous letter threaten
sic him with bodily harm.
When Minister WI appeared on the
speaker's stand, he was accompanied
6y two detectives, who had been as
MFgnetl as special bodyguard, says the
New York journal. When the Chinese
diplomat stepped to the front of the
platform, he was given rousing recep-
ZION.
Minister WI began by referring to
ttle day and sketching the many i'm
nurtant events which had occurred
upon its anniversary. He made hu-
,Morous reference to the fact that China
Eatnished America with 1irecrackers
aud then in a serious vein traced a
similarity in the educational system of
china, which gave the humblest citi-
zeM an opportunity to become part of
9ne government, and the electoral sys-
'kem of the United States. His closing
tgibute to the United States was as fol-
aBws:
This nation, it seems to me, has not
YEwung into existence without mani
zest destiny. There must be some noble
sx,ds for which the independence of the
Ented States was established.
1T was to demonstrate to the world
Ehat great good to mankind free and
independent people can do; to establish
q government of the people, by the
gcoplc and for the people, to preserve
Inv and order; to treat all people alike,
@ith fairness and justice; to do away
with selfish and clannish feeling; to
make American patriotism synony-
H,ous with fair play, with the love Of
mankind, with freedom and liberty in
accordance with law and justice.
''By pursuing these ends this republic
will become the greatest power upon
Mrth, and you citizens of this great
aountry will be more than ever respect
al and loved by all"

1sted first civil governor Of the Philip
yncs, is a TALL broad shouldered man
,af great dignity. Personally Governor
ysft is one Of the most gracious and
Kind hearted of men, but several times
curing his career he has shown that he
sas lighting blood in his veins, says
correspondent Of the Chicago Tribune.
at Yale he was the most popular man
m his class and was noted for his skill
~ boxer and in other similar forms
1T athletics. This skill he once put to
good use after he graduated and came
back to his home in Cincinnati.
At the time there was published in
Cincinnati a s2urrilous Sunday paper,
Made up chiefly of scandalous attacks
3!f prominent people. One Sunday
morning the paper contained what pur-
ioyteu 10 be letter from Washington
w rten by Il society woman of Cincin-
4ai who was visiting in the national
e tal. The letter was such rs no wo-
nan CT discretion and moucsty would

w{. >'r II ;,notaer article succeeded in
conveying the impression thar Mrs.
I.4,. mother If the present governor,
y~Eo Happened at TIE time to be in
h lshiugton, vas Responsible for it.
The day the article appeared William
III. Taft, accompanied by a male rela
tive, called at the Office of the paper in
question and succeeded in identifying
che editor who had written the article
a'hich had offended his family. He then
proceeded to take off his coat and 9th
grwise clear the decks for action The
sditor called for help, but the elder
rutt held those who came to his assist
ancc at bay, while young William at
tended to the case Of the chief offender.
When he had finished, there was Just

WASHINGTON ASSOCIATION

About thirty members OF the Washing
ton Association OF alumni Of the University
of Vermont banqueted at the Ebbitt House

history Of the association, was remarkable
in that the entire Vermont delegation in
Congress except Senator Proctor was pres.
ent. President NJ. III. Buckham and Prof
j. Il. Wheeler, son OF former President
Wheeler, and now professor in Columbia
University Of New York city, also attended.
Among the speakers were President
Buckham, Senator Dillingham;, Representa-
tives Grout and Powers, and Horatio N.
Taplin, formerly OF Montpelier.
Senator Dillingham; was warmly received
and told how he appreciated the value Of q
collegiate training, although he had not had
1t himself. He had lamented the passing OF
the academies but had recently gained the
conviction that the high schools were TAX
ing their places. He also told of the com
pliment paid us by some investigators from
England who reported that our school tar
was the most cheerfully paid Of any.

OLD RESIDENT GONE.

Francis Shambo, aged eighty years, died
Tuesday morning at his home at No. Hill
street. He was confined to his bed only
about month though he had been in feeble
health for several years The cause Of death
was OLD uu, and heart trouble,
Mr.. Shat1bo Was born in 81. Antoine, p.
O., in 1920, and came to this city sixty years
ago where he has since resided. He was
married twice both wives being residents Of
Montpelier and the latter surviving him

OF Colorado In 1865 he married Mary Mac
and, widow of Rason Blair. A son and
daughter were the result Of this marriage
but only the former is now living.
During his life he followed the business
OF quarrving and stone mason and won for
himself in this line an enviable reputation
by the thoroughness and fidelity with
which he performed his contracts, Some
notion as to the extent Of his operations is
gained when 1t is remembered that he was
employed in 1848. when the Central Yer
mont railroad was being constructed, in
making all the cuts through the lodges
along that line from Essex Junction to
what is known as the No. bridge near
Browns mills, and also after he big fires in
this city in 1875 when he was given the
contract for laying the foundations for the
business blocks which were erected in the
burned district How well he performed
the work is evident today and these build
ings stand as monuments to his ability in
his chosen vocation,
About forty years ago he was employed
in constructing canal and bridges in what
was known asCanada West. He retired from
active business nine yeara ago, turning his
business over to his son, Aughtney, who
has continued 1t since along the same lines
as his father.
Mr.. Shamho was a man who won friends
by bis cordial manner. He was good citi
zen and was esteemed as such by the com
munity In which he resided so long. He
was past president of the local St. Jean DIT
Baptist society and took an active interes
in all matters pertaining 10 that orgsniza
ton. He served in the civil war as pri
vate in Company G., Second Vermont Vol
unteers, enlisting in this city March 6, 1862
and was mustered ont March %, 1865.
The funeral will be held from st. Angus
