were easily frightened away, as silver in
the dining room was untouched, and
other valuable articles about the room

Burlington, July 10.-Most of the
thousands who have been in the
city for the past week have left, but
some remained to witness the final
exercises today, which, though not
so spectacular as those of other
days were nevertheless of great in
terest.
The tablet to the memory Of the
soldiers of 1912, on the main build
ing Of the University of Vermont,
was unveiled this morning. The
tablet was presented by Mrs. G. S.
F. Jenne of Brattleboro state pres
ident of the Daughters of 1912, and
was accepted on the part of the
university by President M. H.
Buckham. An address was deliver
ed by Gen. O. o. Howard. The
tablet is placed very appropriately,
as this building was used by the
government as a barracks for
troops in the War of 1912.
Capt. Leary's troop of cavalry
from Fort Ethan Allen was in at
tendance and Gen. T. S. Peck was
marshal of the day. The tablet was
unveiled by Miss Theodore Agnes
Peck
In the afternoon the scene of in
terest shifted to the state camp
ground at Fort Ethan Allen, this
being governors day at the annual
encampment of the state militia and
the last day of the encampment.
The regular camp routine and in
spection, with guard mount, battal-
ion and regimental drill, occupied
the morning. Governor Prouty and

Birth of Music.

There are many legends concerning
the origin of music, but it is impossi
BILE to say which is the Oldest. by the
old Romans the god Mercury was cred
tied with the invention of music. Ac-
cording to Apallodorus, the belief was
as follows: The Nile after an overflow
left on the shore dead tortoise. It's
flesh was finally dried up by the not
sun, so that nothing remained in the
shell but the cartilages, which, being
braced and contracted by the heat be-
came sonorous. Mercury, happening
to be walking that way and striking
his foot against the shell, was so pleas
ed with the sound produced that the
idea of Tyre presented itself TO his
imagination He Immediately con
structed the instrument in the form OF
a tortoise and strung it with the sinews
Of dead animals. And so music began

ILLEGAL MARRIAGES.
Investigation Shows Thousands
Have Been Performed in Illinois.

Chicago, July 10.-According to
Municipal Judge Better, justices of
the peace in Chicago have no au-
thority to perform marriage cere-
monies. They were stripped of this
power when all jurisdiction in civil
and criminal cases in Chicago was
taken from them by the state law
establishing municipal courts.
Many justices of the peace have Of
fees in both city and county.
Joseph Stanleywitz was married
in the city by Justice Tompkinson
of Oak Park. Then Judge Better
told Stanleywitz he was not mar
ried. Stanleywitz tried to obtain
another license and was refused.
Now, he and his near bride have
postponed festivities until they can
get out of the tangle.
Investigation shows that more
than a thousand similar marriages
have been performed.
