TITS talents were various but especi-
ally as an actor, and he was in
great demand in private theatricals
always being the star of the evening.
Even in his own room he would impro-
wise bits of unsolicited acting for the
entertainment of a friend or two. He
had an excellent vOice-rich and deep
in both song and speech, and he had a
splendid conception of it's use. While
his songs were always comic, so far as
can recall now his recitatiOns were
nearly always from some of the serious
portions of Shakespeare-wit strong
ly dramatic drift.
In fact as l remember, these We're the
only occasions on which Field was seri-
Gus at college. He had then a large.
rather OvergrOwn. commanding form,
good rhetorical training, deep bass
voice, and an excellent conception of
the dramatic force of his selection. He
used to impress me then as having all
the natural elements of an orator.
But his whole aim in life then seemed
to be to make those around him enjoy
themselves in humorous way. He asked
nothing of you but that you might
laugh with him, and for a smile gave
you back all the good nature of his
heart. AS he was then wealthy he never
seemed to have serious thought.

that Tacey would become frightened and

sends a letter to the Eagle In which he
says. writing on the eve of the Saratoga

find the universal opinion among rcpub-

Enclosed in the letter is an editorial
clipped from the Dcs Noines Register

There should never have been any OPP
position to the governor after he con-
scented TO accept another term. II Is ut
terly unimportant whether he has con-
suited the political workers or not; he

police department. We find no provis-
ion at present for tho appointment of
n chief Of police, and in order to give
the mayor tho power to maintain the
highest efficiency, both in the chief
and in the membership OF the force,
we recommend that chief Of police
be appointed annually by the mayor
to serve term of one year And In
order that there may be a chief in
charge Of the force at all hours
recommend that tho mayor be given
authority 20 appoint a deputy chief
Of police.
In order to secure still further uni
formity. We recommend that the vari-
Gus sections of the charter he amend
ed so as TO make the term OF ONCE
for tho superintendent of each depart
ment one year. beginning on the first
day of May.
The present section Of the charter
providing for the regulation OF the
sale of milk in the city. seems to
make farmers residing, and in some
cases doing their entire business out
side of the city. subject to the license
prescribed by the city ordinance, and
docs not give proper authority for tho
control OF persons who retail milk
within the city limits. We recommend
the amendment of that section so that
tho retailer of milk inside of the city
shall be subject to the license, and
handle only milk from diaries which
have been properly inspected
In the health and charities department,
we recommend that the appointment OF
city physician be made by the board
Of charities. instead OF by the board OF
health. as this officer is entirely under
the control OF. and Is paid by the depart
ment OF charities.
We also find some clauses In the de-
partment of parks which We believe are
unconstitutional and we would suggest
the necessary changes in this department
| to make It conform to the constitution OF
| Vermont and also to the new method OF
a selection of a park commissioner
A detailed report containing these
| changes will be submitted at as early a
date as possible.
