IMPRESSIVE
CEREMONIES.


celebration of Confederate Mem
orial Day late yesterday afternoon
were Impressive and inspiring, much
more than those of former occasions
when speakers of national renown
delivered orations and when there
were greater influxes of visitors to
the city. 1t was genuine home at
sai1.-home organizations, Iihome
hand, and home speaker. And every
hody felt at home, all proud OF the
fact that they were Alexandrlans
ard anxious to take part in the an
nnal custom of rendering homage
to those who have gone before =
heroic men who offered up their lives
upon their country's altar. Fifty
one Years have passed away since
the scenes at Appomattox, and, of
course, the ranks of those who re-
turned to their homes in 1865 are
thin, but a corporai's guard OF that
number being now in the land ct
the living, but most Of such were on
hand. Some burdened with years
were escorted to front seats at the
platform, where they reviewed an
other gensration-the High School
Cadets-accoutred as were they in
1861 when the Alexandria compan-
les composing part of the Army OF
Northern Virginia paraded the same
thoroughfare. There was Juven-
lie company in Alexandria at that
time, commanded by Capt. Frank
Adams, subsequently, a prosperous
merchant in New York. The -Ir1- I
dian Guard Band, which furnished
music, also made a fine appearance.
Young and old were massed
around the Monument, all anxious
to witness the ceremonies and to hear
the music, vocal and instrumental,
and drink in all that was uttered.
Commander William A. Smoot,
of r. E. Lee Camp, under the aus
pieces of which the ceremonies were
conducted, Rev. j. ". Duffey, pas
tor of the M. E. Church, South, also
veteran, and Samuel G.. Brent, son
of the late George ". Brent, prom
inent officer of the Southern Con-
federacy, occupied the stand. Upon
the assembalage being called to or
der DR.. Duffey delivered an invo-
cation, after which Commander
Smoot introduced the speaker, Mr..
Brent. who delivered the grafton.
He uttered many things which were
suggestive and sent thrill through
his audience, when he said just
cause is never lost. He made a new
departure, too, when he referred to
the living veterans of old Alexan-
dria, calling some of them by name
and telling of their heroism and self
denial during four long years they
battled for principles guaranteed
them by the fathers of the republic.
This was a happy thought of the
speaker. Most of the orations Oh
such occasions are on the lines of
garnishing the tombs of those who
have passed off the scene. While
|, Mr.. Brent paid such due homage,
he also remembered the living.
"Seven Grecian cities mourned for
Homer dead,
Through which the living Homer
begged his bread
But few of the old guard mingled
in this years celebration. The ranks
will necessarily be still further de-
pleted by May "a, 1917 As Mr..
Brent suggested, they should receive
the honors due them while still living
and moving. among US.

s2s. 600 FTRE In BARToN.
Vermont Butter Tub COmpany's Plant
Burned.

Barton, May 1O-The Vermont But
ter Tub Company's plant here was en-
tirely destroyed by fire late this after
noon. The fire originated in the waste
in the boiler room where it is fed to
the boiler through a carrier, spread
to main shop where the workmen
were able to escape without their ex-
ira clothing or any of the tools.
threatened the Cary Maple Sugar
Company's store house and the Barron
store house located nearby. The SUI
gar was all removed from the
Cary store house but the Barron
store house was only slightly dam
aged. The loss TO the butter tub plant
will approach $25.O 900. and is only
partially covered by insurance. Fifty
men are thrown out Of employment
and it is doubtful if the plant will be
rebuilt,
The fire was discovered about
o'clock in the afternoon by Mr.
Thompson, the fireman, as he was re-
turning to the boiler room from an
other part of the plant. The flames
spread from the waste by the boiler
to the carrier and went through the
main shop so quickly the workmen
were barely able 10 make Inelr escape.
The fire companies responded
promptly but the main plant was be-
yond salvation when they arrived and
they turned their attention to the dry
kilns. The heat from the burning
building drove them away and the
kilns with a large stock of dry slaves
and thousands of feet of box lumber
were entirely burned.
The Cary Maple Sugar Company's |
storehouse and the Barron store !
house caught fire several times but |
they were saved although the Cary |
building was damaged quite a good |
deal.
The loss Of the tub shop takes one
of Barton's leading industries. and in i
fact one of the largest butter tub |
manufactures in the world. There /
was a large stock of logs at the mill |
and while the machinery might have
been moved later to Maine the build
ing was to be occupied by another in
dustry.
A store house containing a large
stock of tubs was saved.

MARROW ESCAPE FOR TRUCK.
Barely Missed Hitting An Engine
While Running to a Fire

Barely Missed Hitting An Engine
While Running to a Fire.
In responding to a still call from
LOG Portland street Sunday forenoon.
the fire truck escaped by a hairs
breadth a collision with a locomotive
on the Portland street crossing. When
the driver, Phillip Peterson, made the
turn from Railroad street, the gates
were up and the way clear, so he just
let 'er go and it was not until the
truck was halfway down the short in
cline to the crossing that the gate
man began lowering the bars and an
engine hove in sight from the south.
Peterson remained calm, although the
chances looked about a thousand to
one against him. He clamped on the
brakes and at the risk of overturning
the big truck steered it up over the
sidewalk into the narrow driveway be-
side F. L. Woodbury's house. AS soon
as the way was cleared the truck was
aagin headed for the scene of action
and the men quickly disposed of
chimney fire. In telling of the Incl
dent the firemen nonchalantly answer
that it's all in a days work, but new
ertheless few would care for such mar
row escapes.

NO TRACE OF HoYr
His Wife Believes That He Has Made
Way With Himself.

Not a word of the whereabouts OF
Charles Hoyt, alive or dead, was re-
ceived by the searchers here yester-
day. His wife at the home of her
mother anxiously awaits any tidings
that may come, but fears that he has
made way with himself while tenn
porarily deranged.
Advertisements describing the
young man were sent to Boston hop
ing that if alive he may be located.
He is about 80 years old, five feet and
10 inches tall, weighs about 40
pounds, has dark brown hair which
he wears quite long and dark eyes.
He wore when he disappeared a dark
blue suit, a brown low crowned derby
blue shirt, brown sweater and car
ried a gray overcoat.

cannot get any higher prices than
formerly for paper and rags. Today
two representatives of the largest
roofing company in the country told US
that rags had been worth $50 a ton
or 4 Y cents a pound, although lower
just now, yet they are worth cents
a pound at the house, and newspapers
are worth 80 cents per 100 pounds
and magazines 81 per hundred pounds
Therefore it would seem wise for
housekeepers to save their stuff until
they can get somewhere near its
worth.
