Mr. Foster said that It was customary to expect an' address on occasions like this upon some subject connected with the theme of success, but that he should depart from this rule; that It semed un necessary to him to talk to young Ver montera concerning the requisites of suc cess or what- success means. For these many years the public schools of our lit tle state have-been sending out an army of young men and young women, who, at home and abroad, have demonstrated what success means, have shown what Industry and Integrity and fidelity can accomplish. These young men and young women have not only become good citizens, good men and women in their own state, fining positions of trust and honor 'and exerting the right influence over their respective communi ties, but they have gone into other states and distant-communities and have become leaders' there. 'In Mae other states they have become governors and Judge and lawyers and doctors and ministers and teachers nnd business men; In all tho varied field of human endeavor the young men and young women of Vermont have shown that appreciation of the responsi bilities or life that has resulted In their being called to positions of honor and trust. On the other hand our public school Is the corner stone of our free Institu tions, Our system of public Instruction Is as modern as is tho steam car, the steam ship or the electric telegraph. Even Eng land, with her ancient and Justly cele brated seats of learning, had no system or public instruction until within the pres ent generation. It seems appropriate, therefore, to call attention at this time to the responsibility that rests upon the graduates of our public schools to carry out the great purpose of the founders of the republic, to aid In reaching those mgn ideals for which the successive genera Hons have so earnestly wrought. For you remember that when our fathers adopted the constitution under which we now live, they declared that their first purpose In so doing was to secure a more perfect union. During the long and bit ter night of the revolution the colonists were bound together by the strongest tie of a common danger and a common suf fering. The midnight message of Paul Revere was carried not only to every Middlesex village nnd farm, but to every hamlet and hearthstone of the thir teen colonies and the contest at Lexing ton U rid ire and Concord Green knit to gether the minds and hearts of the colo nists in a common cause. But when that cause was achieved, when Lexington and Bunker Hill and Yorktown had become but precious memories, all the ties that had bound tho colonists tbgether burst asunder, and In place of a people working together to build up a great nation, there stood forth thirteen petty republics, each racked by tho Intenscst Jealousies of all the others, each fearful lest the least con cession of right or privilege for a com mon weal might open the way for tho tyrant. Then it was that our wise and patriotic fathers saw that In order that the people might not lose the benefits of their hard earned victory, a more perfect union must be secured. Mr. Foster then wnt on to show how this was the making of a new era In the history of the world; that the struggle of all the preceding centuries. had been to develop the Individual, to secure to him personal liberty, personal security, per sonal property. So our fathers were pio neers in this new movement in behalf of the union of the individuals who bad ben emancipated through the struggles or an me preceding centuries. Our fath ers had In mind the highest type of union when they proposed to secure a more per fect union of the American people. This means a union in which each exercises his own will and Judgment, but where all work together for a common cause. The familiar saying. "In union there Is strength," is true only in this highest sense, union is strength only when It conserves the strength of all Its members. If It tends to weaken or malm or injure any of Its members, thert It is not strength but ultimate weakness. The flrst step towards securing this union was the securing of a more perfect union of the states. But it was the peo ple who adopted the constitution, and the more perfect union which our fathers had In mind was that of the people. The tie mat binds together eighty millions of people under the Stars and Stripes is the spirit or democracy which underlies our government and permeates all our in stitutions. The East cave us faith Greece gave us architecture and liter ature; Rome gave us law: England cave us constitutional government; but the American people from their earliest his tory have been missionaries of human freedom. Liberty under law. law en lightened by liberty, has been our watch word, and with that cry on. our lips we have sought to establish as our gift to numanity popular government restlntr on the brotherhood of man; liberty resting upon organized institutions, through which the humblest as well as the might iest Individuals may enjoy the fullest op portunity lor growth and development, and through which society and civiliza tion may blossom Into their fullest and fairest flower. The speaker then went on -to show how for more than one hundred years the American people In peace and war had been earnestly striving for this more Der- feet union, and In closing called attention to me responsibility that rests urxjn every graduate of our public schools to Join the great host who continue to strive on' for this more perfect union, whose motto Is. "In essenltlals. Unity; In non-essentials'. LdDcriy; in an things. Charity." Commencement -week will close tonight with a reception nnd dance In the Brooks House at 8 o'clock.

Mrs. Rogers and the prison and court officials and others arrived in Brattle boro on the 2.17 train. The party Included Mrs. Durkee, matron of the state prison, SUDerlntendent Lovell. Sheriff Peck. Dep uty Sheriff Klnlry, all of Windsor, United States Marshal Bailey of Newbury, At torney General Fitts of Brattleboro, who had come from the Johnson murder trial In Manchester, Mrs. Rogers's attorneys, Judge Butler- and T. W. Moloney of Rut land and E. B. Fllnn of Springfield, be sides a large number of newspaper cor respondents, photographers and sketch artists, representing metropolitan news papers. The fact of the change of plans as to where the trial would bo held was not widely announced, but the knowledge of It became sufficiently widespread so that when the train arrived there were some 200 people at the depot, despite tae pouring rain. As Mrs. Rogers stepped from the train she was escorted to a carriage by Deputy Sheriff Klnlry and Matron Durkee. She wore a black dress and black hat, but no veil, her face being exposed to public gaze. The expression on her face was somewhat unnatural, because of the em harassing situation In which she was placed, but her features and general ap pearance were a surprise to those who had pictured her as a depraved looking woman. Mrs. Rogers and others rode In hacks to the office of Attorney Gen eral Fltts and there waited some 15 minutes until It was learned Just where the hearing would be held. Judge Wheel er was found in the office of the probata court. He announced that the hearing would be held there, and then he was in formed by Attorney General Fltts that the respondent was in town, Judge Wheeler had understood that the re spondent had waived her right to ap pear Deiore mm, dui wnen ne learned that she had come to Brattleboro he said she might be brought Into court, Mr. Fltts went to his omce to notify those in waiting there, and they, Mrs. Rogers Included, walked to the probate office. Orders were given to Marshal Bailey by the court to see that those con nected with the hearing be provided for nrst ana aiterward as many as could be accommodated conveniently. After the room was niled the marshal closed the doors, and many people. Including several Boston newspaper reporters, were shut out. Through the kindness of those on the Inside all the reporters succeeded in getting a "story" for their papers. Sev eral sketches were made, which appeared In yesterday's editions. During the hearing Mrs. Rogers sat close to Mrs, Durkee, who did not leave her nn Instant during her stay. She took nine notice or tnings In general, but oc casionally glanced at her nttnrnAv. During a large part of the time her neau was ooweu in ner handkerchief, and on two or three occasions tears filled her eyes,, particularly when Mr. Moloney ..luv u. uiuiiinuc ana impassioned state ment.

He said they were ri tinted T motives of humanity, because they i lleved a great wrong was about to be mltted. Mr. Moloney said, in p.rt n.' Vermont statute denying a wrl of ert In criminal cases compels a r- -pondwt to waive any and every error that mT be made at tho trial, unless exoeptlte, are filed at that time. The elte. t of tS statute Is to cut off a rcspondi-rt entirely as in the present instance. As this shows, the respondent Is claim. J to hxxi been Insane and could not pos.-ibly hat realized the errors made against i.er ru this ground this statute is not due proeea of law and therefore Is In conflict with tho federal constitution." After the arguments were finished Judgo Wheeler announced that the ca could not be disposed of until the return hid been endorsed on the habeas con writ by the officials to whom It was i. sued, as the return must become a put of tho record. Therefore he adjourned court to 9 o'clock yesterday morning t give the officers opportunity to make the return. Judge Wheeler stated that the prisoner was constructively In the bandi of the United States knd ha therefore ordered United States Marshal Bailey tj keep her tn custody, stating that ht might be taken back to Windsor as av, would not bo needed In court the net: morning. Mrs. Rogers, Mrs. Durkee and Superin tendent Loyell walked ahead as the party went to the Brooks House, and as they descended the stairs and appeared at the door tliey were photographed by several newspaper representatives. AttheBroob House Mrs. Rogers was greeted by her at. tdrneys. Judge Butler never had sen her until this time. When the time arrived,- for the departure of the Brooki House -brga for the 5.30 train Mix Rogers was the flrst to enter the vehicle. At the station a large crowd had as sembled, 'making it necessary for the .driver '-to drive to the rear door of the station in order that Mrs. Rogers could find a way Into the waiting room. When court convened yesterday morn ing it was announced by Mr Fltts tint the return had been made on the of ficial papers with the exception of one or two things which he could not say positively about, but which could be ta ed tn later. After some discussion by counsel as to Just what ought to be in cluded in the return the court proceeded with the decision. In rendering his decision, which aj of considerable length. Judge 'Wheeler held that when the petition for a ne trial was allowed to be filed the cue came Into the Jurisdiction of the supreme court of the state, and It was evidently the purpose of the statute to give the 13 preme court Jurisdiction to fix the this of the execution and to issue Its order. The effect of the reprieve was to keep the respondent in solitary confinement, not only for the three months provided for by law, but also for the entire time jtace the reprieve and since the dismissing of the petition In the supreme court which would be In violation of law and which gave- the respondent no opportunity to be heard. The purpose of the statute be ing to give the supreme court the right to determine how the respondent should be kept during her confinement until he was executed, and Bhe already hivter served three months In solitary conise- mem. me court making no order, tie was being kept In solitary confinement without due process of law. But, hartu taken the whole matter Into considera tion. It did not aDnear tn him sufflelesfr clear as a violation of the federal com!- tution- to warrant discharging the p oner. .. Judge Wheeler said he would not a&t the writ of habeas corpus, but wodi grant an appeal, after the governor til opportunity to grant such further re prieve as he deemed necessary He In timated that matter would he much sim plified If the governor should grant a re prieve to extend until after the supreme court had an opportunity to dispose o! the case. The prisoner was remanded tt the custody of the state officials ail court was held onen tn .sa n'rloek to al low Attorney General Fltts to communi cate -with Governor Bell in regard to a re prieve. Attorney General lntfn onmmunlcited with Governor Bell at Korthfleld. this state, and It was decided that they would meet at Windsor. Mr. Fltts started for Windsor on the 11.05 train, taking with him a reprieve which was made out to weeks ago, pending the proceedings which took place this week. Governor Bell signed the reprieve, postponing tie ex ecution Of the senteni-A tn TW S. and at 4.40 o'clock It was delivered to Sheriff Peck. A telegram was sent at once to Judge Wheeler, which reached him as tt was sitting in the district court about 0.15 o'clock. The nn tiers erantlne an appea) to the United States Supreme court were signed by Wm and court was adjourned. Two Boston newsnaner representatives. one a writer and the other a photographer, employed by the Boston American, learned during their stay that It Is contempt of court to take snap-shots of people goinf to and from, court, not to mention the impropriety of such an act. As Judge Wheeler -was crossing the street at the Elliot street contur vAatArH.iv morntef a snap-shot of him was taken by JosepJ 8. Reld. Judge Wheeler saw Reld and Immediately had the young man delivered Into tho custody of United Statu Marshal Bailey.
