Volunteer at the Head.

One of the thorns in the flesh of Gen.
eral Miles when he was commander-in-
chief of the army was the fact that he
was not West Pointer. He entered
the army in the civil war as volunteer
from Massachusetts, and rose thru all
the ranks to that of senior major gen
eral, which gave him the command I'M
on we'll with the administration, and
when he retired as lieutenant general
after the Spanish war, it was with a
feeling that the West Pointers in the
army had never given. him very cordial
support because he was not one Of
them.
But it is a curious fact that, the first
chief of staff under the new system,
Adna R. Chaffee, was not West
Pointer either; and it is further worthy
Of note that three of General Chaffee s
successors in office, Bates, Corbin and
Macarthur, are not, West Pointers. Two
Of them, Corbin and Macarthur, had
| difficulty in getting into the army at
all, and Bates owed his appointment
directly to President Lincoln, who com.
missioned him second lieutenant. The
others enlisted as privates. 49,,
The army appears to have done well
under the guidance Of men who learned
the art Of war in the actual school OF
the battlefield and camp. Z"
| It is a tribute to the benius of the
American people and our democratic
institutions that SO many men have
risen by the sheer force of merit t
the highest rank in the army and have
there acquitted themselves with credi
to their country. West Point may b.
necessary in the long run, but it mus
be evident that it is not Indispensable

About Hotel Low.

A hearing was given at the Pavilion at
Montpelier last Wednesday evening be-
fore Chancellor J. H. Tyler on a motion
to dissolve the injunction restraining the
Bradford Hotel company from selling its
property. The motion was denied and
lanes B. Hale of Wells River was APP
pointed receiver of the property. On
October 13a majority of the stockholders
voted to sell all the property of the
stockholders which includes Hotel Low,
horse barns, etc., it being conditional
that the purchaser should also take
$4,000 worth of furniture owned by NJ.
A. Gale, one of the heavy stockholders
and one of the defendants in the case.
This was alleged to be illegal on the
ground that in closing up the affairs of a
corporation which would be the case in
the sale of the entire property it would
be necessary to get the unanimous con-
sent of the stockholders. So the sale
was restrained and receiver asked by
the minority stockholders. The orators
are I. B. Pickett and M. 6. Flanders,
and the defendants are the Bradford
Hotel Co., Frederick Fletcher, M. A.
Gale, Ida B. Gale and Henry A. Winship.
The hotel cost about $4,000 and is
estimated to be worth about $4,000 or
$4,000 today 1t was mortgaged for
$4,000 in 1893 and there is large
arrearage in interest not paid. 1t was
leased for 81, 900 year and it is alleged
that large part of this sum has been
expended in repairs. The minority
stockholders own 143 shares of the 500,
of which M. A. Gale controls 343, and
they claim an attempt was made to
freeze them out and that sale of the
property-under the $4,000 furniture pro-
position would be unfair to them. They
asked for receiver on the strength of
alleged Encouragement Of the property.
!. B. Pickett and X. NJ. Harvey appeared
for the orators and d. S. Conant for the
defendant.
