That Second Vermont.

George w. Flagg OF Braintree,
first lieutenant in the Ind Vermont
regiment during the Civil war, prints
a communication in the Randolph Her
aid and News which sets at naught
the reports that the pension depart
ment has dropped a member of the
md regiment on the ground that this
regiment did duty along the Wabash
instead OF the Potomac. He gives an
account OF the part this regiment took
through the entire war which leaves
no doubt that it was part OF the old
Vermont brigade which did things
right and proper when 1t came to hight
ing.
He closed the article as follows:
Now. Mr.. Editor. Please tell the Rut
land Hreald this great and good gov
ernment has made no decree cutting
vi the pensions of the 2nd Vermont
regiment for being absent nom the
front. as they never were absent from
the front line, Their path was strewn
with blood They left numbers of the
best soldiers the world ever saw on
countless battledelds, No pension
officer ever did or over will give out
a decree that The Ind Vermont regi
ment has no right to pensions as II

served in the Civil war, was occupied

In putting down the rebellion. The

seems to be but little doubt on the

The Herald failed to note the differ
ence between the Second regiment
of United States volunteers formed
near the close of the war for frontier
patrol and the Second regiment OF
Vermont volunteers, the first long
term regiment from this state and one
of the regiments that saw as hard ser,
vice as any in the army.

"HIS TERRIBLE SECRET" CALLS
ATTENTION TO DARWIN THEORY

"His Terrible Secret" will be the
melodrama at Blaney's Theatre next
week. Aroused interest has both pre-
coded and followed the production of
this play by Charles E. Blaney on the
m~elodramatic circuit. The resemblance
of the character, Melmoth, the prin-
cipal role, TO that of a monkey is the
sensation of the piece and has excited
comment among followers of the Oar
win theory both here and abroad.
The problem 1t suggests was dis
cussed in Berlin by the celebrated Pro-
fessor Hoeckel, of Jena University,
who is a follower of Darwin. He had
the platform decorated with skeletons
of mel and apes to Illustrate his
theories. Darwin" said Professor
Hoeckel, was the man who established
for all times the true relationship of
men and apes. 1t is not to be under
stood, however, by relationship that
man mas descended from some existing
type of ape, but rather that there vas
n ommo ancestor-perhaps In the
remote tertiary period. that this an
cestor was descended from a still more
remote half ape which in turn de-
scended from some insect-eating beast
of mammal affinity"
"IIis Terrible Secret" will be here all
of next week, with the usual matinees.

A Western play, will be the attrac-
ton at the Columbia Theatre for the

counts The Cowboy and the Squaw"
should fill the bill at that house to the
satisfaction of all patrons. 1t pre-.
sents a portrayal of life in the hills of
Montana in the earlier days of the
American settlement. The story begins
with the growing rivalry between Bud
Hawley and Robert Westerman, two
cowboys. This soon develops into
hatred on the part of the former, who,
with the aid of Yaller Tail and Snakey
Bill, two half-breeds, succeeds in maxi
ing things uncomfortable for Bob and
his friends, especially in the latter's
love affairs
The race scene in which Bunco Bob,
lashed to the back of u wild steer, Is
rescued by Silver Heels, an Indian
maid, is the most thrilling episode OF
the piece.
Matinees will be given Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. +
