Is, 1913, chosen governor Of Vermont in
1861. in the trying days OF the opening
of the civil war. before and since that
time a well-known and highly esteemed
resident Of Brattleboro. whose interest in
the events Of his country. his state and
his native town are yet keen and very
much alive, such in brief are the data in
the life OF Vermonts grand old man and
the Nestor Of all the governors of the

twentieth centuries he has seen more Of
the wonders OF the world. II we except
the first century it has been given to

Senate Refused to Expel Senator smoot

The Senate refused Wednesday by a
vote Of 40 to % TO expel Reed Smoot,
Senator from Utah.
Smoot was duly elected by the free
vote Of his state; he was not a poly
gamist, and there was positively no proof
that he was guilty OF any act which in
validated his rights.
On the other hand, he belonged to the
Mormon church and was a member OF iJs
hierarchy. The Mormons generally sup
ported him, and perhaps elected him.
Mormonism, and particularly polygamy,
are ugly things, and many very estimable
people believed that it was a scandal
that Smoot should be a senator.
The cutlery was great, and the simple
question was, should a senator in law
and in fact entitled 10 his seat under the
constitution and laws, be thrust out Of
the Senate because many people wanted
TO get rid OF him?
The senators had the courage to dis
regard the clamor and to abide by their
oaths. Senator Dillingham; not only
voted to seat Smoot, but made a strong
speech Monday in which he argued that
Smoot was entitled to the seat to which
he had been elected.

LARGE AUDIENCE DELIGHTED.
DeWolf Hopper and His Company in
"Happyland" Received with Great En-
thusasm Last Night.

"Happyand" Received with Great En-
thusasm Last Night.
No one but a hardened criminal could
fail to shake with laughter at De Wolf
Hopper and his supporting company in
"Happyland' in the Auditorium last night.
The tall comedian was at his best and
kept the audience which filled every seat
in the theatre in a continual gale Of
laughter whenever he was on the stage
and he had to respond to encores again
and again The diminutive size and nat
ural childlike acting and singing of Miss
Marguerite Clark made a pleasing con-
trast to the mighty Hopper and il would
be hard to say which was the greater
favorite with the audience.
"Happyland" is fanCiful enough TO al
low Mr.. Hopper full opportunity to bring
in the groetesque features which have
made Eel Captain" Wang and every
other comic opera in which he ever ap-
peared famous. He appears as king of
Elysia who has made an entangling all
lance with the king of Altruria by con-
tracing for the marriage of his son, who
is in reality a daughter. The crown
prince of Fortuna seeks an alliance with
the king Of Altruria TO crush the king
Of Elysia but in the general misunder-
standing falls in love with the daughter
Of his foeman which unites the two king
doms happily. The situations throughout
reached when King Ecstaticus of Elysia
is forced to marry a bogus princess of
uncertain age and temper.
The music of "Happyland' is especially
fitting to the accompanying scenes and
has no appearance OF having been dragged
in by force Miss Clark has a rich full
voice and her first solo. Robin" was
sung in a chldlike spirit which capti-
waited every man. woman and child in
the audience. In the second act she sang
Twas a Rose" with the large chorus
twining garlands behind her with telling
effect Moreover, whether as a child or
disguised as a prince or in wedding cos
tune, she was good to look upon and a
| real princess
! De Wolf Hopper speaks for himself al
ways and needs no comment His hex-
/ ible voice, whether in song or dialogue
| is one to be remembered long after the
| scenes In which he appeared have been
| forgotten. William Danforth as king OF
| Altruria was a good second to him in
drollery and their duet in praise of flow
ers was decidedly the humorous hit OF
! the evening. William Wolff appeared as
! confidential advisor to the king and made
much OF his part.
| The music throughout ''Happyland'
| was of an unusually high order. The
chorus OF Huzzars was especially pleas
! ing and there was not one Of the churus
| es that did not receive a spontaneous
| and generous applause.
