THE CLOSE OE MUSTER
PETITION TO COL. EsTEY.
Every officer of First Vermont Reg-
ment Urges Him to Remain in Com


From st. Adams Messenger of Tues
day.l
Is is understood that this is the
last muster of Capt. j. Harry Estey,
adjutant of the regiment, as he in
tends to retire from the service. Cap
tain Estey will be greatly missed in
the regiment with which he has been
connected for many years. He is
one of the most efficient and popu-
lar soldiers that ever wore the uni
form of the Vermont National Guard
and rendered splendid service to state
and country in the Vermont volun-
teers in the war with Spain besides.
The three years terms of many of
the commissioned officers expire this
year and if they all go out together
the regiment will be sadly shaken up.
This is the result of the absurd three
year limit to tenure of military office,
without reelection, passed by the leg
islature of 1900.
When Col. J. Gray Estey came into
camp this year it was with the firm
intention of resigning when the mus
ter was over. But when that inten-
tion became known the colonel was
OIL IdlSu pISStutSu Will the lOl-
lowing petition:
I'VE. the undersigned officers of the
First Regiment Infantry Vermont Ma
tional Guard, learning of your intend
ed resignation as commanding officer
of the regiment, and desiring to fore
stall such action on your part, if
possible. do hereby unanimously petit
tion you to accept this expression of
our appreciation of your service and
accede to our earnest request that you
retain command of the regiment. We
feel confident that this petition also
voices the sentiment of the entire en-
listed strength"
This petition was signed by every
officer of the regiment and of the line
from the lieutenant colonel to the
Junior second lieutenant. II is a
sterling tribute to the character and
worth of an ideal officer and one who
justly commands the respect and con-
fidence as well as the friendly fel-
lowship of his associate officers. 1t
is understood that a beginning was
made toward circulating a similar
petition among the enlisted men with
whom Colonel Estey is very popular
but he caught wind of it and headed
the movement off.

Gov. Stickney is to be commended
again in pardoning Patrick Kennedy,
20. prisoner in the house of correc-
ton, serving his sixth term on the
charge of being tramp. The gov
ernor says Kennedy is an idiot, and
has not mind enough to commit
crime, and that he has been sent to
the house of correction to throw the
expense of support on the state. His
legal residence is in Castleton.

Death Of Senator Mcmillan.

United States Senator James Nc
MILAN, GA, of Michigan, died suddenly
from heart failure at his summer home
at Manchester-by-theSea, Mass, Sun
day morning He was a native of
Hamilton, Ontario, and as a young
man went to Detroit, then a city of
$4,000 people, to work in hardware
store. His start in life was made
as a railroad contractor, and he soon
branched out into a variety of under
takings connected with transportation
interests. Later he became an ex-
tensive owner of mines and timber
land in Northern Michigan, and he
was also director in many financial
institutions. For years he has been
accounted the richest man in Detroit,
and probably in Michigan. He made
noteworthy gifts for educational and
charitable purposes, including the
Grace hospital at Detroit, built at a
cost of S250,000 in remembrance of a
dead daughter, Mcmillan hall, and
Shakespeare library to the University
of Michigan, and scores of smaller
gifts to other institutions. 1t IS
said there had not been a time in the
last 25 years when he was not educat-
ing from three to IL young men for the
Presbyterian ministry. He had been
prominent in political life for more
than a quarter of a century, and had
served continuously as United States
senator since 1889. AS chairman of
the District of Columbia committee of
the Senate. he had become closely
identified with affairs of Washington.
He is survived by his wife, daughter,
and three sons. One son, who was a
captain of volunteers in the Spanish
war. died few months ago.

George w. Cotterill, a New York law
yer, died suddenly at his cottage at
Schroon lake i'm the Adirondacks Mon
day. He had never recovered from the
shock of his wife's death a month ago.
He was stricken at the same hour that
she died, in the same room, and was dead
before a physician could reach him.
There are no children to inherit his es-
tate OF 100000. He was born in Mont
pelier and his father, Mahon Cotterill,
was one of the organizers of the Central
Vermont railroad. He graduated from
the University of Vermont in 1S47. and
studied law in Montpelier. He had prac-
ticed law In New York since 1856
