FREE EXHIBIT OF PHOTOS
M ade n the Important Mountains
of the Old World.

Through the generosity of the Appa-
lachian club of Boston the Bread Loaf
section of the Green Mountain club has
an opportunity to show to the people of
Middebury part of the most wonder
full collection of mountain views in ex-
istence.
They will be on exhibition in the new
High school on Monday February oath
from $3.50 to and from 7 until 10 p. m.
There is no expense to the public.
The pictures were made by Vittorio
Sella, who was born at Bella, 1859, in
northern Italy, under the shadow Of
Mt Blanc and Monte Rosa. His
achievements in mountaineering and
photography are sufficiently monu-
mental to have contented any ordinary
man as a life work, but these pursuits
have been the recreation of Vittorio
Sella as since early manhood he has
been actively engaged in his large busi-
ness interests, the ancestral woolen
mandatory of his family at Bella.
From 1880 until 1896 he made annual
forays into the important mountains of
Europe. In 1897 he accompanied the
Duke of Abruzzi on his expedition to
Mt. st. Elias. Again in 1899 he is found
far afield when he accompanied the
Freshfeld expedition into the high Him
alayas of Sikhim and Nepal.
In 1906 Sella accompanied that hardy
explorer, the Duke of Abruzz, on the
expedition to Mt. Purvenzon in equa-
torial Africa, and 1909 found him in the
Himalayas of Kashmir, attempting the
ascent of K, and making a record in the
climb of Bride Peak.
A review from the Nation on the
book of the Runvenzon expedition says:
"The reproduction of the splendid pho
tographs, nearly 200 in number, by a
member of the expedition, Cavalier
Ufficiale Vittorio Sella, (evidently
knighted for his achievements), make
this volume one of the most sumptuous
books of travel within our knowledge.
The wonderful beauty of the represen-
tations of the forests and the superb
panoramic views of the range, it is i'm
possible to describe.
Prof. Charles E. Fay of Tufts college
sometime president of the Appalachian
Grub and the American Alpine club orig
mated the movement by which the APP
palachian club began its Sella collection.
One hundred and fifty of its members
contributed to the purchase of 400 pic
lures, including the Alpine and eau
casus groups. Vittorio Sella himself,
an honorary member of the Appala-
chian club, generously presented the
club with an additional set from the
Caucasus, series from the Mt. st.
Elias expedition, and the pictures taken
on the Freshfield expedition. A second
club subscription has secured the Ru-
venzori and Kashmir expedition photo
graphs.
The Appalachian club has freely
loaned selections from this collection tC
the libraries throughout Massachusetts,
and is now generous to its younger SIS
ter, the Green Mountain club, in oaning
about 100 photographs from this collec-
tion for exhibition at Burlington, Mid
dlebury, Brandon and Rutland. The
exhibit will have representative pictures
from the II A lpine regions and from the
six regions of the Caucasus, and from
the Himalayas of the Freshfield expe
dition.

will neither countenance nor aid any
movement which has for its object
any indication of rejoicing at the
surrender of the Confederate armies
and the consequent downfall of the

with them the holding of great

D. A Brown. Jr., J. Taylor Ellyson

seemed 20 exist as to the purpose OF
the celebration suggested by the Re

planned that the celebration OF the
surrender was not contemplated IN

association had not considered in

members Of the camp and as en-

Richmond's greatest need at present,
Mr.. Weber says, Is the replacement Of
ramshackle dwellings, with modern
structures.
Secretary webber's report says in
part:
The housing and living conditions
Of the people In Richmond are not 80
bad as to cause any alarm or to jus
tify the statement, sometimes made.
that they are worse than in almost
any other city in the country. An
examination OF the death rate from
preventable diseases in Richmond will
show Z remarkable reduction In re-
cent years, and comparison OF these
figures with those OF other cities Will
show that Richmond need not be
ashamed Of its record. BY way OF
illustration. the oflicial figures Of the
city health department show that from
1907 to 1911, the death rate per 1907
900 decreased from ALL to ITS in the
case Of typhoid fever. 2S.2 to 0.S In
the case Of malaria. 800 to So in the
case Of measles. 206.2 to $50 in the
case OF pneumonia, 239.3 to 207.4 in
the case Of consumption.
Furthermore the statement has
often been made and frequently pub
lished that there Ia . greater density
Of population in Richmond than in
almost any other CITY,. 1t Is true that
BY dividing the total population by
