SECRETARY SHAW IN THE FIELD

Thu announcement that Secretary Shaw
from his cabinet position next winter
for the purpose of taking a position at
the head of d large trust company in
New York, has resulted in the publica-
ton of a statement which leaves no
doubt as to the course of this former
Vermonter during the coming few years.
Secretary Shaw is quoted as aging,
'There is not a word of truth in it,
and this would seem to dispose of the
report in the most direct and final man.

VERMONT SUNDAY SCHOOLS
The Rev. =. VI. Fuller Preparing u
History OF the Work..

The Rev. r. NJ. Fuller is preparing a
brief history of Sunday school work in
tho State of Vermont. which will be in
cluded in tho official rcpor: of the 18th
international Sunday school convention.
held in Toronto last June. This book will
contain the reports. statistics and con-
%fcrcnccs Of the convention and n complete
history of Sunday school work every
where. FROM the time Of Robert Raikes
to the close of the recent convention. 1t
will contain n wealth of illustrated in.
formation which will create Il renewed
intelligence concerning tho intcrdenomi-
national and cooperative Sunday school
work.
Mr.. Fullcr's account Of tho work in this
State Will date back to the formation of
the State association in 1863. The asso-
citation WAS formed at Rutland by a gem
cral convention and l.. a. Fuller and
George +. Davis of this city were chosen
president and secretary. respectively. h.
A. Fuller is we'll remembered as one Of
the influential deacons of the Baptist
Church and n membe of the insurance
agency firm of Whitcorpb e. Fuller. while
he later conducted a book store on
Church street.
The association was Incorporated in 1896.
Ever since its birth there has been n
steady increase in Sunday school work
throughout the State. The association
has grown in the number Of its constitu-
cnts according as now Sunday schools
have been formed for all Sunday schools
in the State are considered members Of
the association whether they have joined
it formally or not.
At present the state is divided into Il
county districts for the association work.
which are in turn divided into township
township districts. the large majority of
which have been formed within the last
few years. since Mr.. Fuller was made field
secretary OF the association. The work
is now conducted on two chief lines, tho
educational. which strives TO improve tho
training of the teaching staff of tho vari-
Gus schools. and tho evangclistic, which
reaches out for people not in Sunday
schools. The encouraging and striking
feature of the work during the last year
was the increased number Of men in Sun
day school work. At present there are
900 more men engaged in Sunday school
work than there were last year. G. r.
North of this city is president Of the as
sociation. +. s. Pcase is chairman Of the
executive committee and c. J. Ferguson
is also n member Of the committee.
AT present MIR. Fuller is busy making
arrangements for the annual State Sun
day school convention. which will be held
at st. Johnsbury October II. IS and 10.

THE ETHAN ALLEN CELEBRATION.

The dedication of the Ethan Allen
tower at Indian Rock on August Ii
promises TO BE- an event beftting the
historic interests which cluster abou,
that point. In view of the importance
which was attributed by the Indians &c
this rocky einincnce as a point Of obser-
walton from which the eye could sweep
up and down Lake Champlair it is easy
to believe that from this vantage ground
aboriginals watched Champlain, the
French navigator. as he made his his
toric voyage of exploration up the lake
almost three centuries ago.
1t was probably more than chance
which led the hero Of %1iconderoga and
the intrepid Green Mountain leader to
locate his home near this same outlook,
and it is not difficult to understand how
Ethan Allen loved to repair to this lofty
erie and look out upon the scene of Tho
carly naval struggles of our colonial
forcfathers for independence. and bring
up before his Imagination the combats
That must have taken place within view
of this spot between rival fleets of In
dian canoes.
Tho Ethan Allen tower on Indian Rock
will therefore be the embodiment ~,
many historic associations as we'll as

intervale which saw so many of his de-
clining DAYS. no inquiring visitor will
climb to its lofty outlook without catch
ing something of the spirit which must
have inspired him When he gaxed out
from its solid pedestal.
The dedication Of this enduring mcmor.
ial to Ncrmont's chief hero will be an
event OF State interest and more. and
the ceremonies Of tho day will be parti.
cipated in by a number of men OF nation-
al fame as we'll as by the representatives

4 FAMOUS FAMILY OF RONIrACEs,

The noteworthy number Of natives Of
Vermont in proportion to the size Of the
State who have achieved remarkab BILE
SUCCESS in various directions in other
States Is again emphasized by the facts
brought out in connection with the death
OF Caleb c. Willard. owner OF the Ebbitt
House in Washington and the possessor
Of several millions of dollars worth Of
real estate in the national capital. The
deceased was ono of three brothers who
have won national populations in con-
oect!on with the keeping of hotels at the
seat of our general government.
The three brothers made their way
from Vermont 10 the national capital
previous to the Civil War, working their
way by serving as stewards on the Hud-
son river steamers and in various other
capacities. Joseph and Henry. the two
older brothers. became tho founders and
owners Of Wizards Hotel. long d centre
and popular resort for politicians, which
has recently been rebuilt on an extensive
scale by Joseph r. Willard. the son of
Joseph, and now the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
OF Virginia. Joseph Willard died about
fifteen years ago and the death of Caleb
leaves Henry A.. Willard rs the only
survivor of this famous triumvirate of
bonifaces.
The history Of the Willard family re.
calls another famous family OF hotel
keepers. the original members of which
went from Vermont. The Leiands we're
long prominent in connection with the
management OF leading hotels in Albany
and New York city. and ono OF their

from tho shock which he sustained in
connection with q terrible holocaust. The

Of tho terrible strain to which he was

VERMONT OFFICERS REUNION
SOCIETY.

The committee having in charge the
preparations for the annual meeting OF
the Vermont OfRcers' Reunion society,
consisting Of Mr.. II. Henry Powell, Post.
master u. J.. Derby and General n. =
Peck. have been ~cndcavoring to so ar.
range tho meeting that II might be held
near the date of the Vermont Fish and
Dame Leagues banquet. thus enabling
the considerable number who belong &c
both organizations to attend the meetings
Of each without the necessity Of making
nm extra journey for that purpose; and
the effort has been made q gratifying
success.
Chairman Powell announced yesterday
that the business meeting would be held
In Burlington In the afternoon OF Thurs.
day. September Z. and the banquet would
be held in the evening. The postprandial
exercises will include an address by Col
Albert Clarke. president Of the Vermont
Association of Boston, and of the Home
Market club, as we'll as remarks by other
we'll known men.
The members OF the society are to be
congratulated on the probability tina,
Gen. Horace Porter. late ambassador II
Franco, will be the guest of the society.
This distinguished orator is at present
the quest of Gen. L. r. Ripley, president
Of the Vermont Officers Reunion society,
and II he attends the banquet, those
present will he assured a rich oratorical
treat from his lips.
General Porter. it will be recalled, de-
livered a campaign speech at Rutland
during the first free silver campaign and
the excoriation which he administercd
to the adolcsccnt vocalizer of tn,
Platte" as he characterized the inna.
zionist agitator, is not likely to be for.
gotten by those who enjoyed the privi-
lege Of listening to this eloquent orator.
1t is the present expectation that Gen
eral Porter will also attend the banquet
Of the Vermont Fish and Game League
at Hotel C%hamplain at Bluff Point. and
inasmuch as Governor Higgins and other
New York public men and politicians
have been invited there is certain To he
a degree of sharp shooting which will
lend unusual interest to the gathering
The conjunction Of the meetings of the
Vermont officers and the nimrods and
anglers bids fair. therefore, to add mark.

THE NEWER JAPAN.
Geographical Terms in the Far East
That Are Often M%isnpplied.

In the early stages of tho war thu
usual phrasing was 1Aao-tung peninsula
but gradually the word peninsula has beer
dropped. says Thomas T.. Willard in
Scribncr's. As "A result in the Western
| press the two terms have become syn.
onymous. and if. in some editorial sane.
tuIns the distinction is still clear, il has
entirely vanished. if il ever existed. from
the popular mind. And even with tn,
word peninsula appended the phrase ha.
been so manipulated by the propaganda
as to he popularity considered to near
something il does not.
When the average Englishman or Am.
erican reads in his morning newspaper
that Japan will probably insist upor
indefinite or permanent occupation and
administration Of the Liao-tung PENN.
sula. he gets the impression that what
is meant is tho SINAI peninsula included
in the Russian leaschold and on which
arc situated Dalny and Port Arthur. Blu
here he is wrong. The peninsula in,
clided in the Russian lcaschold is the
Kwnng-tung. not the LiaO-tunC.
The IiaO-tung peninsula is that part OF
Manchuria south of the a line drawn
east to west from the mouth of the
Yalu to the port OF Newchwang. and ON
braces a large territory. including the
Kwang-tung peninsula. The Liao-tunc
still more. Tung is tho Chinese word foI
east and Liao-tung means east of the
LAO river. which rises in the noun
tains of north central Manchuria and
flows by a southcrly course into the gull
of Liao-tnng, entering the gulf at the
port of ~Newchwang. Thus Liao-yana
means a departmental city east of the
Lao, and 50 the significance Of the terms
run through the nomenclature OF the
whole country.
The Liao-tung proper. therefore. refers
to all that part of Manchuria lying east
of the Iiao river and embraces one
third OF its total area, including Mukden
and kirin. the two most important cities
Of the old kingdom. To what extent
western diplomacy is mislcd by this clever
substitution Of terms in public discussion
of events in the locality of the war
do not know, but instances in interna-
tional affairs where such subversions
have been successfully instituted into
treaties are not unknown.
