in one of the papers, written by an
inmate of that Home, without
signature, and am surprised that
newspapers should publish such
articles derogatory Of the character
and conduct of the officials without
stating their source of information.
I visited the California Home in
company with the officers of the De-
partment of California, and investi-
gated it very carefully, and addressed
the two Posts located there and also
the inmates Of the Home. 1 stated to
them that the Government made ample
provisions for their comfort, care and
maintenance, and that if the officials
did not do their duty they should
promptly call the attention of the
inspectors or other proper authorities
to the fact, and not write anonymous
letters tending to bring disgrace ana
dscredit upon the institution. / found
in this Home that all the officials were
Grand Army men, and in addition to
their pensions were receiving COM
pensation for such labor as they Scould
perform; that the Surgeons and some
of the nurses and cooks were not
Grand Army men, for the reason that
Grand Army men in the Home would
not or could not perform the duties re-
quired of them. sA
Before leaving this subject, desire
to call your attention to the letter Of
the President of the Board to the last
printed report of~the Managers of the
National Home for Disabled Volun-
teer Soldiers, on page of said report,
and also the report of the Inspector
General and Chief Surgeon, on page IS,
relating to the results obtained among
our aged comrades from the adoption
of modern methods in the treatment If
pulmonary tuberculosis. Nearly one
third of the members are treated in
the hospitals during the year. and SO
per cent receive treatment either at
sick calls or in the hospitals.

morning to the Champlain Realty com

poses to use this tract as nursery FOR

Six hundred thousand seedlings, the

Named In cIsremont. y. 3.

Under the above heading a press dis-
patch from Claremont relates the follow
ing,romance, unquestionably Of local in
tersst:-
~saturday afternoon Il O'Clock we'd
ding was performed for the hrst time
within the walls OF Hotel Claremont, and
connected with ii were some unusual, not
TO say peculiar, circumstances.
tsThe facts of the case are that II. Brad
bury Esmond, q surgeon of Bellows Falls,
VT. who, according to the marriage H.
cense is 3S years old, and Miss Fleda NJ.
White, aged IS, daughter Of Charles J.
and Matilda Harper White Of Randolph,
VT, came to town that morning, accom-
panied by the girls father and friend
The friend said that he just came along
to see that khere was no funny business,
and the marriage was all legal, and he
even made inquiries as to the minister
who was to tie the knot.
eAfter securing his license Of the town
clerk, Esmond went to the Rev.. W. A.
Tuttle, who was about to offieiate at 3
funeral. The Rev. Mr.. Tuttle wished
time to look up the law as the license
stated that Esmond was previously mar
ried, but divorced, and according to pa
pers the divorce was about three and one
half years ago "a year ago in Bennington
is believed to be nearer the truth and it
was provided that he could not marry for
three years in the state of Vermont.
tEsmond then went to the Rev. G. NJ.
Curl OF the Methodist church, who met
the Rev. Mr.. Tuttle aud had q talk, hear
ing that both had been engaged to do the
same job. The Rev. Tuttle Withdrew in
Mr.. Curtis favor, who officiated after sat
isfying himself there seemed to be no
reason against his performing the cere-
mony. The Rev. Mr.. Curl afterwards
said he vas not familiar with the divorce
details as they were not called to his at
tention, but believed he had acted with
moral and legal authority.
-"Esmond hustled his grips out,
thanked the hotel clerk for use of room,
and departed on the electric car.
'sThe girls father and the friend who
refused to give his name, sat around the
Office until later car, and the incident
passed on to another state"
In addition to the foregoing, it may be
stated that Dr. Esmond had been practis-
ing medicine in Bethel until he departed
to fresh scenes about a month ago. He
has also had few patients in Randolph,
among them this Fleda White, over
whom his influence became so great that
her father finally had himself appointed
the girls guardian, since she was of age.
and brought her home from Bethel,
where she bad been staying. Saturday,
Mr.. White and his daughter, accom-
panied by Mr.. Frederick Leeds, went to
Claremont and there the wedding, as told
in the dispatch, took place.
