Tbe funeral ceremonies of tbe late Kins Edward VII last Friday were tbe most magnificent and imposing in British bis tory, quite outdoing those of Queen Vio toria nine year ago. It it estimated that fully 2,000,000 people witnessed tbe cor tege as it passed through tbe massed streets of Loudon. Tbe king's body was borne on a gua carriage to tbe station, tbence to Windsor palace, wbere, after brief services, it was laid at rest with others of England's royal line. All the nations of tbe world were represented at tbe funeral. Tlw Emperor William of German?, nephew of Edward, was a chief j mourner and rode but a horse's bead be hind his cousin tbe new king. Other kings present were Haakon of Norway, George of Greece, Alfonso of Bpain, ter dinanrt of Bulgaria, Frederick of Den mark and Manuel of Portugal. Various princes followed on horseback, represent ing tbe minor states of Europe and Asia. In tbe carriages were the ladies, and oth er representatives of governments. Mr. j Roosevelt, the America ambasiador, rode in the eighth carriage, being preceded ty all tbe representatives of royalty. Every thing was arranged according to strict form and precedent. King George and Emperor William knelt at tbe coll! u and clasped bands in an affecting scene. The funeral decorations were on a roost exten ive scale. Over 30,000 British troops lined tbe streets, but there was no disord er. Kings and princes went about frtely, careless of danger. Color Line in Sunday School Parade. Tbe Worid'e' Sunday School contention at Washington, D. C, last week ettrerted 2,000 delegates from all parts of the world. At a monster masa meeting at tended by 6,000, President Taft gave an address. The race question was raised when the application of colored Suuday schools in Washington to join tbe parade was refused. A local committee bad tbe affair in charge and carried its point, de spite many protests, especially from Brit ish delegates, who said that no such line would be drawn in their country. Ten thousand Joined in Sstorday'i big parade, singing, "Onward, Christian Boldiers," and other hymns. Congress adjourned to see it. On mission day, ftt5,u00 was raised by voting life memberships for noted persons, each at f 1,000, "which" was quickly subscribed. Halley'a Comet a Puzzlar. Astronomers and scientists disagreed mu id concerning tbe phenomena attend-, ing the passage of the earth through the tail of Halley'a comet last week. Some claimed it took place as scheduled; others that it was a day behind time; still others tbat tbe comet's tail did not touch the earth at all. It ia certain that the tail lingered in tbe eastern sky a day after it was supposed to be in tbe west, and ob servations of tbe romet since its appear ance after sunset fail to show any tail. Some observers report unusual phenom ena, such as sun spots, auroras and tbe like, but these were little visible at the earth's surface on account of tbe cloudy weatber. Mora Family Troublea Airad. The army has another scandal that will be aired at a court martial. Lieut. -Col. Robert F. Ames wilt be tried for conduct unbecoming an officer. At Fort Williaru McKinley in the Philippines, Lieut. Clar ence M. Janney committed suicide in Ames' house, following the discovery by him there of present that bia wife had given Ames. Bad Explosion of Dynamite. An explosion of several thousand pounds of dynamite in tbe barracks' of the Rural Guards at Pinar del Rio, Cube, last week caused the death of about 35 men, while 145 were injured. The explo sion resulted from the carelessness of a carpenter in nailing down the lid of a box containing dynamite. Bella Moor Convicted. As a result of the recent investigation, in which a Radcliffe college graduate did effective detective work, Belle Moore, a mulatto, was last week found guilty at New York of selling young girla into lives of shame. It appeared that the girla were much older than at Drtt stated. Comet Reveala Crime. Terrified by the comet, a Newark Italian last week gave himself op to the police and confessed the murder of a man who recently disappeared. A search re vealed the body just as tbe Italian de scii' el it, and he is held for triaL Gov. Rollina Did Smuggle. Former Governor Rollins of w Hampshire pleaded guilty to bringing in jewels from Europe without paying duty and paid a tine of (2,000 last week.

To be obtained only at GRANT'S DRUGSTORE JUDGE ROWELL HONORED. Tendered Birthday Banquet at Mont - poller with Judges Tyler and Powers. A notable event to Ihe state at large was tbe banquet given by tbe Vermont Bar association at the Pavilion in Moot - pelier Tneaday night to Chief Jodge John W. Rowell in honor of his 75th birthday anniversary, and tn Jurloe .lame. !f. T. ler of Brattleboro and Judge H. Henry Powers of Morrisville, tbe former having attained to 75 years on April 27, while tbe latter will pass that milestone on tbe 2tb Inst. Both Judge Tyler and Judge Powers have been associated with Jude Rowell on the supreme bench, and Judge Tyler stands second to him, among those now living in length of service. In 1882, Chief Judge Pierpont died and, there being a vacancy in tbe Su preme court, Mr. Rowell was appointed by Gov, Rosweil Firnham sixth assistant judge. At tbe following session of the general amenably be was elected to suc ceed himself and has remained upon tbe bench ever since, distinguished alike for tbe clearness of bis mind and tbe lucid, forceful English in which his judgment finds expression. He was appointed chief judge of the supreme court March 30, 1902, on the death ot former Chief Judge Russell S. Taft, and altogether has to his credit the longest term of service of any member of the court. At the banquet rovers were laid for 60 guests who included all the supreme and superior court judges and delegations of attorneys from every county in the state. C. G. Austin of St. Albans, president of tbe Bar association, filled the poet of toast master and made the opening speech in part in these words: "Upon the couvening of the present May term of Supreme Court, many ot the prominent attorneys of tbe State came to gether and it seemed to be tbe unanimous sentiment of the attorneys present, that the bar of Vermont should give some ex pression of their sppreciation for tbe long and efficient services ot our esteemed Chief Judge John W. Rowell, and extend our congratulations to him for the 75th anniversary of his honorable and useful life, and aa a token of respect for him personally, as well as officially, "It then occurred to us that Ihcre were two others, who bad long been associated with Judge Rowell In hia great and good work, whom tbe bar ot Vermont had learned to love and esteem; namely, Judges H. Henry Powers and James M. Tyler. These three honorable gentlemen were all born the same year, reared under similar environments and aspired to and achieved tbe same great goal of useful ness. And It seemed to us to be Httlng that we should include in this token of resect Judge Powers and Judge Tyler, and the board ot managers ot the State Bar association ot Vermont, bave ar ranged this meeting for that purpose. "The bar of Vermont bave long been proud of tbe bench of the state aud the high character of its peraonnel. Judge Howell has now served on the bench longer than any of his predecessors, and as ws look back over those nearly 29 Tears of faithful services the bar of the State can again say that they are proud of the able decisions rendered by our Su preme Court, 'and feel that, although our state is small, we have had a great court and that tbe decisions of our court do not stand second to any State court in the nation." Chief Judge Rowell was greeted by pro longed applause and "Hail to tbe Chief." He spoke of hia pleasure at the occasion and expressed his grstitude for the kind treatment received from (he bar. At the time ot hia appointment to the bench tbe late Homer E. Royce was chief judge, and the first time Judge Rowell sat in su preme court it was in session at St. Al bans. In those days tbe court sat in every county but Urand Isle, whose dock et was taken to St. Albans. Court used to sit seven hours instend of Hve, as at present, and he suggested shortening of arguments as a means of further shorten ing tbe period of court session and mak ing it more effective. He sketched the unification of court rules rnd the work ol tbe committee which made up the present code. This was not adopted until It 82, when the Supreme Court formulated rules for all the courts of the State. The other changes in the courts were also sketched to show tbe advances made.

Dear Sir: I wish to join yoo and the Vermont Bar association in this tribute of respect and affection to Chief Judge Rowell and ex-Judges Tyler and Powers. I wish I coold be with you. As that can not be, will you kindly permit tne a word or two on paper T Judge Rowell has been to me almost like a father. Yon all know how he has gone about tbe Stste, year after year, always on tbe lookout for some gleam of promise among tbe young members of tbe bar, esger to welcome and encourage it. I am only one of many who have had reason to be grateful for his kind and helpful words w hen tbey were needed most. No one rejoices more than I do now, that he still occupies the high place fate destined him for, even from bis cradle. It ia my deliberate judgment that no finer body ot opinion can be culled from the rich treasury of Vermont reports than those that have for their beginning "Howell, J." or better still for they are always growing better "Rowell, C. J." I beg you to let him know, now, in tbe years while he may still be with you, that you bold bim at his worth a great Judge yes, great even (or Vermont 1 His por trait and Judge Tyler's hang side by side on tbe wall of my chambers in the court bouse here, wbere I point to them with special pride and turn to (hem often with reverence and love. Brothers of tbe bench and bar, I send fraternal greeticga to yon all. WENDELL PHILLIPS STAFFORD. Washington, D. C, May 23, 1910. Chicken Thieves Caught. Deputy Sheriff, D. D. Howe went to Swanton Monday night altera couple of chicken thieves, whom be escorted back to town the next day. His prisoners were two boys, 18-year-old Jesse John Sisco and bis younger brother, Harry, who had been staying a few weeks at the home ot their sister, Mrs. Irving Juckett, in BrookSeld. Monday, the lfith, they announced tbeir proposed departure on the express that evening for Swanton and bade tbeir frienda farewell. Instead of leaving ou the express, however, they negotiated the sale of 15 cbickena to Adams ft Wright and scurried around to find a team la which to go after their plunder. In tbe course of the evening a livery team was hired but too late for tbe poultry to be delivered that night. Bright aud early the next morning the chkkens were brought to Adams A Wright before they had fairly opened their market for business and a check for ft). 23 was eiven tbe boys in txebange for 15 nice lookiug birds. Tbey departed at once on the northbound train and were well on their way when the round-up of stock in their sister's hennery showed a noticeable shrinkage in tbe size of tbe Hock. A neighbor, Ueorge Wilbnr, also discovered a loss of 35 chickens, but the boys were not suspected until the sale to Adams ft Wright became known. For tunately, the chickens had not been dressed before Mr. and Mrs. Juckett came to look over the lot, in which they were able to identify one or two by peculiar color and marks as belonging to tbeir flock, as undoubtedly tbe others did also. Sheriff Howe was started out in pursuit of the Hiscns and at St. Albans he en gaged the services of High Sheriff George C. Holmes of Franklin county. Tbe two officers proceeded to Swanton and sent tbe local deputies, to whom the boya were known, tn hunt cut the chicken dealers. Tbe older boy was secured first but the younger kept out of sight until sir. Hone had left for St. Atban with bia brother, when he incautiously appeared, was promptly nabbed and hurried away to join Jesse John in captivity of tbe taw. On reaching Randolph Tuesday after noon in the custody ot Sheriff Howe, they were given a hearing before Justice H. W. Vail and were bound over to the June term of Orange county court in the sum of 300. In default of bail thev were taken at once to Chelsea by Sheriff Howe and comraiujod to Orange county jail. Diligent search on the part of tbe authorities failed to trace tbe theft ot the W ilhur chickens to the boys, who bad not sold in lots large or small any such quantity of poultry so far aa could be learned.
