THE VERMONT PHCENIX, BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 1905. LOCAL MAN WON TOURNAMENT'S j TROPHY S. W. Hubbard of Brattleboro Defeated M. H. Ivy of Harvard in Tennis Finals-R. D. Willard of Boston Double Winner In Golf Wantnstlquet Golf club's highly suc cessful tennis nnd golf tournament closed late Saturday afternoon, after two dnys of continuous playing. The weather con ditions were perfect, large galleries wit nessed the contests, especially In tennis; the ladles of the club furnished lunch to all-comers both dnys, and the playing by a Urge field of experts was sufllclcnt to maintain the Interest and enthusiasm of the devotees of the two games nt all times. There were 24 entries for the singles In tennis, 10 for th'o doubles In tennis, and 10 In golf, Tho prizes were won ns follows: Tennis singles, cup, Samuel W. Hub bard of Brattleboro. Tennis singles, cup to runner-up, M. H. Ivy of Harvard. Tennis doubles, cup, Hoy nnd Starr, Spoffnrd lako summer colony. Golf, cup for winner of tournament and sliver medal best qualifying score, S9, R. D. Willard of Boston. Golf, bronze medal to runner-up, Ralph W. Stoddard of Springfield, Mass. Golf, cup, consolation round, Fred II. Harris of Hrattleboro. Tho preliminary rounds In tennis Indi cated that S. W. Hubbard of Brattleboro, M. II. Ivy of Harvard, C. P. Trask of Bur lington and D. Nlles of Boston were likely to Iks factors In tho. final result. Trask, however, did not trouble Hubbard serious ly In the second round and Nlles fell be fore Ivy In tho third round. Bay of Brat tleboro went through to the semi-final round, but the time for finishing the playing was limited, nnd Ray courteously defaulted to Hubbard, so that his club mate might be fresher and have a better opportunity to win the big trophy In what was sure to be 'a grueling contest against Ivy, one of the Hnrvard university cracks nnd an associate of Clothier of Interna tional fame. Ivy made many friends throughout tho tournament by his gen tlemanly and sportsmanlike conduct nnd he played cleverly In nil matches. Ho had more of a strain than a player ought to carry on Saturday, when he played 13 sets. The club house veranda and the benches around the court were filled with specta tors Saturday afternoon when Hubbard and Ivy appeared for the final contest. Hubbard fairly outplayed tho visitor. He was careful at all times, shot very close to back nnd side lines nnd was quick to take advantage of every, opening. He had a peculiar chop stroke which troubled Ivy at times. Ivy played close to the net much of the time nnd smashed lobs at every opportunity. The sharp and long continued volleying brought applause re peatedly, the spectators being quick to give recognition to both players. Hub bard took the first set 0-4, nnd had a lead of 6-3 In the second set, but at this point Ivy made a brilliant rally, and won S-C. The next set went to Hubbard S-C. After a little rest the players returned for the fourth set. In which Hubbard was not badly pushed, winning 0-2. At the close of the playing many people came forward to congratulate the players on their skill ful exhibition. The shades of evening were falling when the final round In tennis doubles was called. Ivy wa,s hardly In condition for another struggle, out he held to me con test gamely. Hoy and Starr excelled In team work nnd took the first two sets from Ivy nnd Allen 0-4, 0-0. The third set stood 4-2 In favor of Ivy and Allen, when darkness stopped playing for the day. Ivy and Allen wished to go to Wal- pole that night and therefore decided to default to Hoy and Starr. In the pre liminary doubles Harris and Young, the pony team of the Wantastlquet .Golf club, made a good showing against Ivy "nnd Allen, from whom they took the first set 8-0. R. D.' Willard of Boston, a former resi dent of Westminster who has been play ing at Walpole of late, led the field In the coif qualification round Friday with S9, The local players did not show their usual form nnd only Capt. Tasker and F, H. Harris qualified. The veteran Bing ham, twice a winner of the club cup, re turned a card of 101, and other local players were high In the 90's. Holbrook made a good showing except on the short sixth hole, which cost him 20 strokes In three rounds. Following were the scores COL. MARSHALL H. TWITCHELL. He Had a Gallant Record In Civil War and Was Terribly Wounded Afterward by Ku-Klux-Klan. Col. Marshall Harvey Twltchell, United States consul at Kingston, Ontario, died Monday after a brief Illness. He was the oldest consul In the entire service of tho United States, having been appointed to the post at Kingston In 187S by President Hayes. His appointment wns accredited to Louisiana, and he had held the olllce through the several administrations. In recent yenrs he had considered himself ns belonging to Newfane, In which town he was a property owner. Only two weeks before his death Col. Twltchell and his son had called on many friends In New fane, Townshend nnd Brattleboro. Col. Twltchell was a son of Harvey nnd Elizabeth (Scott) Twltchell, nnd was born In Townshend Feb. 28, 1840. He was educated In the common schools and at Leland & Gray seminary. In his youth ho taught school winters, worked on tho farm nnd attended the seminary a por- tlon of the year.- He enlisted In 1S01 In Company I of the Fourth regiment of Vermont Volun teers. He was In 14 battles with the old Vermont Brigade. He was severely wounded at the battle of the Wilderness, a ball entering the edge of his left eye and coming out behind his left ear. Ho was In command of his company at this time as first lieutenant, having been pro moted successively corporal, sergeant, Jlrat sergeant nnd first lieutenant. In the winter of 1S03-G4 he made applica tion and was appointed captain In Com pany II of tho ,109th regiment of colored tioops. He wire In the column which broke Lee's line at Petersburg and finally surrounded his nrmy nt Appomattox court house. He was mustered out of the United States service In August, 1800, nt New Orleans. Jn October, 1S05, he was appointed provost marshal and agent of tho Freed mnn's Bureau with headquarters at Sparta, North Louisiana. Here, 25 miles from the nearest post, with no experi ence In civil government, he was legis lator, Judge, jury and sheriff. His gov ernment was so satisfactory that ho was elected almost without opposition to rep resent tho parish (county) of Bienville in the constitutional convention of 1S0S. Ho was appointed Judge of the parish of Bienville that year. He was elected to tho state senate In 1870 for a term of four years and re-elected In 1874. Dur ing his eight years In the senate he was the principal agent In the creation of the parish (county) of Ren River, building of tho town of Couchatta and the organ ization of tho public schools In the parishes of Bienville, Red River nnd Do Sota. He protected tho colored schools ns president of the school board by threatening to refuse to sign tho warrants for the pay of teachers. An attempt was mado to assassinate him May 2, 187C, while ho was crossing tho river In a boat. His brother-in-law, George King, and a negro servant who were with him were killed. Six bullets entered Col. TwltchoU's body, wounds being sustained In the back, thigh and In both arms. It was necessary to am putate his arms at the elbows. His only brother. Homer, and his other two brothers-in-law, Willis and Holland, had been murdered before this In what was known as the Couchatta massacre of 1874. Had Col. Twltchell's assassination been suc cessful the result would have been to R. D. Willard of Boston SO, J. K. Tas ker 91, B. M. Blake of Boston 91, F. H. Harris 92, R. W.

In 1870 he bought the Starlight plantation on Red river, every year thereafter ad ding to Its.buslness by lease or purchase. He directed as principal owner two stores. two seta of mills, tho hotel nnd tho only newspaper established In tho parish. After the murder of John W.

Estey of the National Guard. Barro Times.) Col. J. Gray Estey of Brattleboro, com manding tho Vermont National Guard says that the encampment of the state. troops during the last ten days was the "most satisfactory In years." An old nrmy officer Is reported to have said that Col. Estey "stands at the head of the militia colonels of the United States In ability and military science." The two statements, made independently, give an idea of tho conditions thnt exist today In the Btnte militia. Although a young utuwci, uui, r-aiey is uringing mo guara to a high rank of military efficiency. He commnnds the respect of the mea In the regiment. This fact, coupled with his knowledge of military tactics and his faculty for leadership, make in him an Ideil commander of tho troops. The men who go to muster cannot fall to return with better equipment for service. If ever tney snouia oe caned upon to offer that ser vice, which everyone hopes and anticipates will not be necessary, they could quite readily be placed on a footing for prompt action. All reports of the encampment, which closed Saturday, bear out Col. Estey's statement that It has been one of tho most beneficial In years. The reported statement concerning the commanding officer, although a sweeping compliment to Col. Estey, Is yet not without tho pos sible and the probable. Whether or not col. Estey stands at the head, Ver- monters Know that he stands very well, The Worcester polytechnic institute is to have a new and up-to-date chair of instruction, that of electric railroad end neerlng. For this place President Engler lias secured Albert Sutton Rlchey of In dianapolis, lnd who has been for Ave years with the largest electrlo railroad company in the world, most of the time as chief engineer. INDEPENDENTS LOST FIRST GAME. Defeated 1312 by Ludlow as Result of Combination of Hits and Errors When Game Wat In Hand, Murder In tho first degree not simply manslaughter should bo tho verdict of the crlmo committed 'against tho national game Saturday when the Ludlow and Brattleboro Independent tenms met on tho Island grounds In a contest which stood 13 to 12 In favor of the visitors. There Is but little complimentary and much denunciatory to be said of tho con test. The locnl players batted Lockwood freely from tho start nnd the proposition looked llko n cinch up to tho seventh tuning, ns Cooley wns holding the Ludlow hitters nt bay, only three hits having been made up to thnt time. Then came n combination of seven errors nnd sov cral hits and when the clouds rolled away Ludlow held the nnrrow lead of ono point which was maintained nt tho finish. R. Allen put the ball over tho right field bank for n homo run nnd slnmmed the ball to the outer garden for n two-bugger. LUDLOW. ' r. bh. po. n. o. Daley, lb 2 2 12 10 Perkins, ss 1 113 2 T.

Tho drift of population from the East to the West Is still going on, but there ore Indications that tho West that Is, what is called West Is pulling up stakii anu going farther west. Iowa, for In stance, has actually decreased In popula tlon curing the past live years, If the census Is nccur.itely taken. In 1900 the population was given ns 2,231,853. The figures for 1905, Just completed, give only 2,210,008, a falling off of over 15,000. located in the, heart of the rich agrl cultural districts, Iowa Is In a position to thrive, and it may bo thriving. But that the population Is falling off Is npparcnt. harming does not appeal to all classes, however, and Iowa mny bo about to experience the same exodus of Its popula tlon that Vermont had In tho middle of tho nineteenth century. A street sign that surprises American visitors In Paris reads: "Butchery of florae. Ass and Mulo a Specialty." GOOD NEWS. Many Brattleboro readers have heard It and profited thereby. "Good news travels fast" and tho thou sands of bad back sufferers In Brattle boro are glad to learn that prompt relief Is within their reach. Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills. Our citizens are telling the good news of their experience with the Old Quaker Remedy. Here is an example worth reading: Charles Allalr, now retired, living in Vernon, Lower End thhj state says "When J. went to George E. Greene's drug store and asked him If he knew of anything to cure backache he handed me out a box of Doan's Kidney Pills. positively asserted I was nearly dead with pain through my kidneys and loins. was subject to attacks for years, some of them so bad that I was If not confined to bed at least to the house for days at a time. Latterly the aching was almost continual and there was added to It trouble with the kidney Becretlons, un doubted proof that my kidneys were in a very disturbed condition, despite the fact that I doctored and used more than one medicine. Now I cannot positively say that Doan's Kidney Pills have radically cured me, but of this I am certain; the treatment has brought infinite benefit and if recurrences take place I now know what to use to check them."

Black points out the folly of neglecting the sclenco of forestry: In America the time has come for tho practice of forestry. While once the butt-log of virgin timber only was worth tho cost of cutting, now 'an equal price per foot Is paid for second growth. Twenty years ago black walnut was split fpr fence-rails in Ohio; within a few years manufacturers were sending agents among the farmers offering wire fence to replace these same rails. White pine Is being shipped to Maine, the "Pine Tree State" coals brought to wasteful New castle. With the growth of Industries, Uia consumption has increased enormous ly. At the same time the supply is fall ing. Yearly the lumberman leaves vast barrens" behind him, nnd yearly the firs that follows him eats up billions of feet of valuable lumber. As tho stumpage price tho value of standing timber rises, and tho consumer pays proportion ately, a wiser policy must be obtained, and tho forester begin his needed work. In Europe this stage when demand far ex ceeded supply, and this outcome, are long since past. In America, however, forestry has but recently risen from the peonage of an unaccepted theory to the dignity of a profession. Her Idea of It. The former head of a large private 5? ?i if1 Clevflana was a gentleman of dignified bearing, refined and correct always In manner and speech, by birth and early rearing a Vermqnter, and doubtless of straight Puritan extraction One day in his boyhood his motheSlled him In from the yard where he was play ing with some other boys to say to him and'sevity-8" of m,DK,ed Badness yo'uNu0sbiekZeBarn,wIor "" t0 hear "Why, mother," said the boy, "I didn't use any swear word.

A beautiful custom lias b.a observed by the militia of Maine during the past four years. When the 2d regiment closed Its annual tour of duty at Camp Cobb In Augusta, recently, the final act was a visit of reverence to the torn flags of the civil war, which are preserved in cases In the rotunda of the state-house. This custom, which will be followed for all tse future, was suggested four years ago by Rev. James E. Cochrane of WatervUe, chaplain, and the Idea so impressed AdJt.-oen. Farnham that he adopted I: Tho ceremonial is simple, but Impress! t Company after company marches a tho rotunda until It is rilled with sa men in uniform. Chaplain Cochna read "Tho Returned Maine Battle Flap, written by Moses Owen, and the teg mental band, stationed in the centre A the rotunda, played "The Star Spangle! Banner." This was followed by up, and as the notes of the bugle died awaj through the corridors and halls of tte capltol the troops came to "attention, and silently filed out of the building. Moro eloquent than words are the flags, and what they stand for is admirably expressed In the poem which the chaplab read: Nothing but flags but simple flags. Tattered and torn and hanging In rags; And we walk beneath them with careless tread. Nor think of the hosts of the mighty dead. That have marched beneath them la days gone by. With a burning cheek, anu a kindling ere, And have bathed their folds with their young life's tide. And dying, blessed them, and blessing. died. Nothing but flags yet, methtnks, at night, They tell each other their talcs of fright! And dim spectres come, and their thin arms twine 'Round each standard torn as they stand In line. As the word is given they charge! they formi And the dim hall rings with the battle's storm; And once again through the smoke and strife, Thoso colors lead to the Nation's life. Nothing but flags yet they're bathed with tears: They tell of triumphs of hopes of fears; Of a mother's prayers of a boy away, Of a serpent crushed of tho coming day, Silent, they speak and the tear will start, And we stand beneath them with throb bing heart, And think of thoso who aro ne'er forgot, Their flags come home why come they not? Nothing but flags yet we hold our breath, , And gaze with awe at those types of death; . Nothing but flags yet tho thought win come, The heart must pray though the Hps o dumb! They are sacred, pure, and wo can see no htaln On those dear loved flag3 come home again; Baptized In blood, our purest, best, Tattered and torn, they're now at rest.
