OTIS WARREN FUNERAL.
Was One Of Last Local Survivors From Famous
Andersonvile Prison.

The funeral of the late Otis Warren
was observed from his home Sunday
afternoon Rev Warren Morse ollici-
ating. 1t was under the auspices of
the Grand Army posts Of the village,
the burial ritual of that order being
used at the grave. AS the funeral cor.
tege entered the cemetery it was met by
the GAR who escorted it to the burial
place.
The death of Mr. Warren disclosed
the fact that OF the various Benning-
ton soldiers that we're confined in
southern prisors during the civil war,
Mr. Warren was perhaps the last sur
vivor except one, Henry G. Camp of
this village. Mr. Camp in the year
that he was prisoner was confined in
II different prisons, Andersonvile be-
ing the last and where he served the
longest time. Among others were Lib
by, Belle Isle, Salisbury, Castle
Thunder and others. He was captured
while engaged in tearing up the rail
road.
He became acquainted in Anderson
vile with Mr. Warren, and a firm
friendship has always existed between
them.
Mr. Camp has in his possession an
interesting souvenir of the Anderson
vile in the shape of a subpoena to APP
pear before the court in Washingt n
which tried Capt Writ the comman-
dant of the prison for cruelty to the
prisoners, and who was convicted and
hung.

CONTRACTSNOT EXPIRED

All day Saturday was busy time

especially SO in the evening.
At the Home company three or four
clerks were engaged in counting the
coupons and the store reminded one Of
the night before Christmas.
The contracts which many Of the mer-
chants signed with the Sperry Il Hutch
inson Co we're not all dated at the
same time and so did not all expire at
once. The first of them expired Dee
but the others were scattered along for
the next ten days.
Some contracts do not expire until
next week and so in town today there
are several stores which must give
green stamps if purchasers ask for
This puts the merchants in peculiar
position, having signed an agreement
not to use stamps after last Saturday
and being compelled by the Sperry &
Hutchinson contract to give them. BY
agreement they will continue to give
stamps until their contract expires.
The state manager of the Sperry Il
Hutchinson company is here to loo k
after their interests. When askt d
how much longer they would keep

rent for December had been paid in
advance.
The Home company hopes TO close
up the store the last of this week if
possible but will give everyone an OPP
portunity to redeem the coupons.
AT the Green Stamp store Saturday,
1900 stamps we're redeemed and II
900 on Friday.

bill providing for the communication of
the death sentence of Mrs Mary Rogers

in which case the bill probably will
be made special order for Wednesday

TRADING STAMP EPITAPH.
St Johnsbury Efforts To Unload the Stamp
Nuisance


Strenuous efforts are being made a
ST Johnsbury to rid the town of trad
ing stamps. The following poem wa
printed in connection with an article
in st Johnsbury paper:
There's many grave on the hillside
Where the sentinel angel tramps,
That Is filed with deluded ladies
Who collected Trading Stamps.
They paced thro' the stormy snowdrifts,
They raced when the ground was damp
They slckened and died In honor
For the poor old Trading Stamp.
Some died for few pink dishes,
Some died for a Morris chair
But alas on the quiet hillside
We know that the crowd IS there.
SO, III write them little tribute,
And hope that the world won't laugh
At the deep and profound emotion
In this beautiful epitaph:
Here lies on the silent hillside
Where the viglant sentinel tramps,
score of heroic women
Who collected Trading Stamps.
They died for something for nothing
They died In the strenuous game.
Yet, leaving their stamps behind them
They got there Just the samer'

Haskell Indian Band, Opera House.

CINCINNATI Correspondence to the
Musical Courier" August 20, 1904.
This is still the season of outdoor
musical entertainment, furnished by
the concert bands of this country.
One OF these which has been playing
an engagement at Coney Island, has
a particularly fascinating interest,
for it is altogether composed of
Indians, genuine Indians. The band
is composed Of thirty men under the
direction of Dennison Wheelock,
WHO'S himselfa full blooded Oneida
Indian, although he is man OF fine
general and musical attachments
and of decided refinement and cult
ure. One might naturally expect
a great deal of noise from such a
band, but the fact is that it COM
lnands a remarkable amount of senti-
ment and delicacy. Its tone is lovely.
and refined; the rhythm almost
faultless and intonation perfect.
The members of the band follow the
baton of their leader instinctively,
intelligently and with great deal
of enthusiasm. 1t was remarkable
with what fineness and expression
the band played Wagner's "Album
Blatt" in which the leader, too, dis
playeda strong classic conception.
In rapid passages of other selections
the Indians played with verue and
intensity Particularly grateful was
their rendition Of the SZampa" over
ture. Mr.. Wheelock, director of
this remarkable Indian Band. was
connected with the Government
schools for long time. For a time
he edited paper at Green Bay,
Wis, and afterwards became director
OF the Military Band at Carlisle, Pa,
and also of the Haskell Band at
Lawrence, Kan. Much of his music
al education he received from Father
Cans, catholic Priest, at Carlisle.
The present organization is known
as the Haskell Military Band, and
its thirty men have been gathered
from fifteen different tribes.

Emperor Charles v. Of Austria, BY
Gar the most powerful ruler of his day,
was thus described rs he appeared at
table by Roger Ascham, secretary to
the English ambassador, in 1850: II
stood hard by the emperor's table. He
had four courses; he had sod beef
very good. roast mutton, baked hare;
these be no service in England. The
emperor hath a good face, constant
look; he fed we'll of capon; have
had better from mine hostess Barnes
many times In my chamber. He and
Ferdinando, king Of the Romans, ate
together very handsomely, carving
themselves where they list without
any curiosity. The emperor drank the
best that ever saw; he had his head
In the glass five times as long as any
of us and never drank less than good
quart at once Of Rhenish wine." It
was notorious that the emperor ate
and drank immoderately, and us nat
ural result he suffered terribly from

GARDENS OF THE ALcAzAR.
One of Their Greatest Charms Is the
Apparent Lncis OF Cultivation.

One of Their Greatest Charms Is the
Apparent Lncis OF Cultivation.
The garden Of the Alcazar is one
garden composed of several, each open.
Ing into the other By steps descending
from terrace or through arches in
marble or living green.
All the gardens are surrounded with
wonderful hedges of myrtle, juniper or
box. II the gardens of the Alcazar
should be stripped of all but their
hedges, palm trees and magnolias,
they would still be most wonderful. In
some places walls about eight feet in
height separate the gardens, and
against these walls are trained orange
md peach trees, with n tangle of jas
mine and roses climbing among them
US they will. In fact, the flowers grow
In such careless and natural profusion
and there is seemingly SO little cultiya-
ton that one might almost think the
hoe of gardener had not visited the
place for hundred years. This very
carelessness was one of the greatest
charms of the place and added to the
effect of age that chung to everything.
Modern gardeners would stand aghast
Mt such apparent neglect.
l recognized that the very lack Of
modern care was artistic and suitable
and yet wondered, If the place were
mine, whether l could forbear the use
of shears, trowel and hoe The hedges
were trimmed. These, with some or
|-ange trees growing in solid mass of
green along some fifty feet of palace
wall and reaching to the very roof,
alone bore signs Of the gardeners
shears.
The flower beds were Of intricate
shapes, filed with tangled mass of
flowers and always surrounded with
box. And such box! My heart sank
within me when thought of the box
in my garden at home, where not even
hundred mild winters and hundred
rainy summers could give growth like
the smallest of that ut the Alcazar.
The bouquet that Is considered In Sc
Vile as model Of beauty and elegance
was to our eyes most hideous thing.
In shape like pyramid, about four
teen inches high, 1t was formed by fas-
tenfng magnolia bud to the top of
smooth, round stick and then winding
flowers tightly around the stick, each
succeeding row becoming larger, SO
that at the bottom the bouquet was
probably two feet around. 1t was n
frequent sight to see two men carrying
pole between them with from six to
dozen of these bouquets swinging,
heads down, from the -Scribner's.
