Golden Wedding Annlversary-
At 7:30 o'clock Monday evening, a spe
cial train left the central depot of Roches
ter, laden with the leading citizens cf
the town full of bsppy enthusiasm. The
night waa beautiful and everything sus
picious. No accident or jar happened
and soon the long train swept into the
station of "Tbe Flms," where, by a bril
liant arrangement of lights, tbe travelers
were guided safely into a place ot beauty.
To say that the bouse waa self-contained
would be giving expression to pre
varication, for it waa running over with
excitement on every band, yet the plan of
arrangementa waa perfect and by dint of
guides, ushers and splendid lighting, all
and sundry were soon divested of their
wraps and emerged into a homogeneous
masa ot friendship and cordiality in tb
reception and ante-rooms. An usher an
nounced each auest and these were re
ceived by the bridal party, which ws
composed of members of the family, tbe
bride and groom ot fifty years ago, Mr.
and Mrs. Crosby Martin, supported by
Mr. and Mrs. Kidder, who had been mar
ried on the same day in their home forty
years ago and by Oscar Martin, who was
married on the selt-saine day 60 years ago
and who had stood up with them but
whose partner in lite had been taken
from him some years since.
Rev. e. H. Smith, the pastor of Mr.
ami Mra. Martin, gave a tender prayer on
behalf of the married pair, thanking God
for past favors bestowed and asking for
renewed expressions of grace, after which
Rev. W. H. Watson, on bebalf of the cm
sens of the town, presented Mr. and Mrs.
Martin with a handsome vase of solid ail
ver, filled with tbe Adonis of friendship
and of good wishes for tbe coming years.
Mr. Fiske of Montpelier made a fitting
reply on bebalf ot Mr. and Mrs. Martin
and read some letters from friends afar
who sent their greetings and their gifts
from the Far West, as well as from the
Hub and other parts. One touching let- 1
ter was read from Mrs. Julia Wing, who j
was withheld from coming owing to ill j
health, but whose expressions ot love!
were gratefully received. j
Fay Kezer then gave some extracts.
from the past which revealed to those
present tbe power and usefulness of the
bridegroom of half a century, showing
very clearly the reasons for the selection
ot tbe preaent Panama route and tbe
powerful presence for a few years in Cal
ifornia ot one who enriched tbe state and
came away a multi-millionaire, also how
that Speaker Cannon had recently called
him West to confer on important matters
pending. It appeared from observations
made that much light could be thrown
by our friend on the great deal of tbe re
cent years in connection with tbe pur
chase and re-sale of tbe canal route from
th French to tbe American syndicate,
and it ia to be hoped that the government
will Interview our townsman in regard
thereto.
During tbe evening tbe telephone kept I
sending messages of congratulation from 1
Boston and from small towns near and I
far. Added area tew lines that were!
sent from Molina, IIL, and were mounted
in a beautiful gold frame that helped to I
adorn tbe table of gifts. j
The company were then regaled with
refreshments of various kinds and tbe
shriek of tbe locomotive compelled
Oh THE "NATIONAL ANTHEM.'
Reasons Why the Popular Choice is
for "Hail Columbia."
Though Americans are not all agreed
as to wbat really is or ougnr. 10 d
our "national anthem, It is reason
ably sure that the popular choice
would not fall upon "Hall Columbia.
Tet that was the song selected By the
Japanese to welcome the American
fleet, and the Japanese are generally
a discriminating people. Ana in
truth they only followed the European
custom In this, for "Hall Columbia,"
is usually the tune played upon offi
cial occasions abroad when It is de
sired to compliment the United States.
It could hardly be otherwise, be
cause of all our so-called national
music, "Hail Columbia" is the only
tune eiceptlng "Dixie" and the songs
of the civil war of American origin.
The tune we call "America" is only
"God Save the King," and that be
longs to Great Britain. "The Star
Spangled Banner" 4s also an English
tune, though we have made it our own,
and it may well be that foreigners do
not understand the uplift we feel on
hearing it Even "Yankee Doodle" is
of doubtful lineage, as well asof ques
tionable dignity. "The President's
March," on the other band, is wholly
a Philadelphia product, composed
there and given Its popularity by a
Philadelphia lawyer's stirring words,
sung by a Philadelphia actor. "A
poor thing, but mine own." Tawdry as
it is, our title to it is clear even clear
er than that ot the "Red. White and
Blue" and this is probably one rea
son why it is everywhere recognized
as distinctively American.
"The Red, White and Blue" is In
some respects a better tune, but "The
Star-Spangled Banner" is by so much
the best of the group that it has grad
ually gained acceptance to the exclu
sion of tbe others. It is hard to sing,
but glorious for the band, and noth
ing is likely to drive it out. Certain
ly "national anthems" never can be
made to order. If prizes would produce
one, we should have plenty to choose
from. But national music is a growth,
not a manufacture, and having no
body of "folk song" to draw upon, we
have to depend upon the popular ac
ceptance of some tune that may have
"had only an accidental association
with any patriotic aspiration.

Originality Needed.
To revive an old style of building,
no matter how well it may be done,
does nothing to advance the art of
building. It would at the best be but
a copy of an old work. Painters copy
old masters for the purpose of study,
but copying pictures will never make
a painter's reputation. Something new
must be achieved, some original work
executed before any advance In art Is
possible. So It is with architecture.
