Within a few minutes of o o'clock every after
noon that the Supreme Court is in session, a
group of sight-seers gather at the exit from the
Chamber, through which the Justices are to
come, aud await that important aud impressive
event. The door opens and Justice Jackson is
usually the first one to put in an appearance;
he sits nearest the door. Then the others strag-
gle along behind. There is no set order for
their emergence. They generally have a tired
look. It is heavy strain to sit for four hours
and listen to the set and sbStrHse arguments
which characterize the presentation of cases
before the Court. It is difficult TO change the
set precedent and long accustomed methods
of body like the Supreme Court. but many
leading members of the bar hold that it is
waste of time to make arguments before that
tribunal, and that the custom ought TO be
abolished. The Court inevitably make up their
minds and base their decisions upon the printed
briefs, and not upon the arguments of the at
torneys. But such a reform is very far out of
any Immediate probability of being put into
execution. One more in line with the ideas Of
advanced lawyers would be the introduction of
the English custom of having cases prepared by
solicitors and presented by harristers. 1t IS
argued that such a course would be productive
of souAder law and better lawyers.

During the 16 years that Miss Davis was
in charge of the school here there passed
through her hands the sum of SS8 GOO. She
is now at the head of very successful
private boarding-school about mile from
the Soldiers Home.
About 65 or 20 fine pictures (oil paint
ings, etc were procured by Mr.. Benjamin
Fitch in Europe, and they arrived at the
Home along about Christmas in 1868 or
1866. No place suitable had been prepared
to receive them, and the pictures were dis
played in the best manner possible under
the circumstances.
Rev. DIR. Lathrop gave sort of lecture
from the text, To what purpose is this
waste?" and said be was almost confounded
and hardly knew how to handle the text,
but as he thought the matter ever, he came

After prayer by Rev. A. Requa, of Moro
ton, Gov. Bulkeley made short address, in
the course of which he said that not only
had Connecticut stood by the old flag during
the war, but had promised to care for the
old soldiers in thefuture. "The State" con-
tinued the Governor, has been liberal in
its appropriat. ons from time to time, and
those acquainted with the rapid growth of
this institution have seen the rapid strides
it has made within few years past toward
actually becoming worthy Home for the
loyal soldiers of Connecticut. We come here
to-day for the purpose of dedicating this
building and the hospital ON the ground
adjoining. which buildings are the latest
acquisition through the munifcence Of the
State to the care Of our soldier boys"
Though many interesting speeches were
made, the length of this article iorbids refer
ence to all. 1t is proper to say, however,
that the able speech of Gen. VIM. B. Frank
lin, who has been so long identified with the
National Homes, gave evidences of much
practical wisdom in connection with the
management of Soldiers Homes in general,
and with some executive matters in particu-
lar. For instance, in answering the question
whether work should not be provided gen.

in accordance with plans and specifications
prepared by Mr.. Henry A. Lambert, of
Bridgeport. This amount was in addition
to the amount of $4,000 appropriated for the
same purpose in 1887
Mr.. II. B. Philbrick, of Hartford, was the
contractor, and the carpenter work was done
Bridgeport. The masonry work of the hos
pital was done by Mr. Frank Shea, of Stam-
ford.
1t is fine brick edifice, two-stories high,
with two wings of one story each for wards.
The Administration building fronts to the
north and is 100 by 80 feet. Each of the
one-story wards, extending north and south,
is % by 85 feet. The Administration part
of the hospital contains the House Physi-
clans office, besides dispensary and ope-
rating room and store-rooms on the first
floor.
On the second floor are nurses quarters,
domitories, bathrooms, diet kitchen, sit
ting-room, and library. In this hospital the
attempt has been made to avoid many of the
faults which experience has found existing
in many even more pretentious modern hos
pitfalls, and those who have carefully exam
ined its architecture and appointments cou-
cur in the opinion that it is beautiful and
commodious building, as well as fitting

wealth for her invalid and disabled soldiers
and sailors.
THE CHAPEL,
which was built about the same time as the
hospital, is about 80 by 90 feet, making a
neat frame structure, capable of seating
about $50 persons. Heretofore, religions
worship has been held, az was the case with
the disciples of old, in the upper room" of
another building, and both Protes ant and
though not, Of course, upon the same occas-
ion. This chapel Is not intended for sec
tartan purposes, but as place where religi-
Gus instruction may lie given the soldier,
whether he is Catholic or a Protestant.
No settled minister has yet been employed,
but the pulpit is filled from time to time by
the clergy of this and neigbboring towns.
According to the act of the Legislature the
chapel can also be used as a general reading
room for the inmates of the Home but in
stead of this an additional building has been
fitted up as reading-room and library.
Within, the chapel presents very taste

All the water required for the various
uses of the Home is now supplied from
ARTESIAN WELLS
in the woods. One well has a depth OF 50
feet and another a depth of 251 feet, and
from these wells water is pumped by a
steam-engine into the tank in the tower, 80
feet above the grade of the main building.
This tank is elevated on a substantial
foundation of long, heavy timbers, aud the
whole structure is rooted In by sort OF
tower, on the summit of which is small
gilded brass cannon, acting as weather
vane.
Within two years past great many
changes and additions have been made at
this Home. The principal buildings, with
the exception of the water-tank or tower,
are arranged upon lhree sides of hollow
square, and this hollow square is occupied
by a fine lawn and several shade-trees.

Soon after this an archi ect named Marshall

finished the pictures were placed therein.
ONE INCIDENT ILLUSTRATES
some of the pecuiiaritIes of Mr.. Benz. Fitch,
the founder of the original Home. One
day Miss Davis was not feeling very well,
and several of the children were in the
room with her. Mr.. Fitch came in and
said:
Young ladies, look at me; do you know
who / amp"
They replied, Certainly; you are Mr..
Fitch"
DO you know what do for you ?"
One of the girls replied, "No, sir" and
Mr.. Fitch, in his enthusiastic way, said,
F" feed you, cloihe you, take care of you,
and l make you as one OF my own children"
When it is remembered that Mr.. Fitch
The National tribune., 1893-11-02

min Fitch endowed the Home with "a tract
of land and buildings thereon, and the sum
of $4,000 in addition thereto"
Bef re Mr. Fitch established this Home
the land was occupied by one-and-a-half-
story frame building, originally designated
bv the local residents as The Tombs. .
This building was used for tenement pur-
poses, and there were II families in it.
There was another house, built by Belina
Noyce. and still another frame building was
ased as shoe factory. and run by David
Waterbury and Charles Flannigan. One
night this shoe factory took fire, and the
building and contents were entirely con-
sumed.
An old record of the appearance of the
Home at the time it was formally opened,
July f. 1864. describes it as consisting of a
block of three buildings, and barn in the
rear. with five acres of ground attached. If
the same person had visited the Home In
1864 and also in 1890, he would hardly have
recognized itas the same institution, so many
and varied have been the recent improve
ments.
In 1864 there was a brick building, used
partly as library and an art gallery, in
which were afterwards placed a very large
number Of fine paintings, procured by do
nations made to Mr.. Benjamin Fitch while
travelling in Europe. All Of the other build
ings have since been removed, and the origi-
nal art gallery is now converted into a
ward.
The Stamford AdUocdte, an enterprising
paper published three miles from NOroton,
in lis issue Of July 8, 1864, gives lengthy
account of The Inauguration of this Home on
the preceding Fourth of July, at which time
it is said there were nearly 5000 people
present, and
HORACE GREELEY WAS ORATOR
of the day. The weather was remarkably
fine upon that occasion, yet Mr.. Benjamin
Fitch was unwen, and therefore not able to
be present. He sent word, however, that
" if more money was needed, TO call upon
him, for the soldiers must not want for any
thing"
The Greenwich company, commanded by
SapL Hdt2uly lOFuleu the HiiiitdIy SNSoiO,
and the Winslow Band furnished music for
the occasion. The Grand Marshal of the
day was ex-Gov. William T. Minor, now de-
ceased.
Rev. j. ". Coleman opened the proceedings
with prayer, and Rev. A. n. Gilbert, of Dan
bury, followed with an eloquent address, in
which he spoke Of the war OF the rebellion in
its moral, religious and social aspects Horace
Greeley, in his speech, contrasted the causes
of the Revolutionary war and the causes of
the civil war and showed the difference be-
tween the two. He said the rebel program
did not recognize the doctrine that all M,
are created free and equal before the law.
He also referred to Franklin, Lafayette,
Pulaski, and men of like stamp, and con-
cluded his remarks by speaking hopefully
OF what he Thought was the near end of the
war of the rebellion, expressing the belief
The National tribune., 1893-11-02

that after peace had been declared, not a
single Union man would regret either the
blood or the sacrifices that that peace had
cost.
Fitchs Home was first incorporated by an
act Of the Legislature, approved June "a,
1864, and six citizens of Fairfield County
were named as the body corporate. As this
sct provided for the support and education
Of the children of soldiers, and as at that
time the institution was not greatly needed
for disabled soldiers, school was started for
such children, and was taught by Mis-, NJ. J.
Davis, OF Vermont, assisted by other teachers,
among whom was Miss Helen Pitts, vino
afterwards married the colored orator, Fred
erick Douglass. Miss N. ]. Davis came TO the
Home Sept 5, 1864, and for about 16 years
abe had charge Of the school.
Among her pupils were children of citi-
zens as well as of soldiers, the law in regard
to the admission of pupils having been con-
strued somewhat literally There were
many who have since taken prominent posi-
tiOns in the world, some of the pupils being
those whom their re atives would not then
recognize, but who have since married mil
lionaires. Another pupil is now working
as a trained nurse, while many other scholars
in that school have since
BECOME PROMINENT
various walks of life.
Miss Davis had the reputation of being an
accomplished and painstaking instructor,
and many from the surrounding country
were glad TO be permitted to become her
pupils.
There were only very few soldiers in the
Home at tn { time. During the entire 16
years that Miss Davis taught here there were
only two deaths among soldiers children.
There were s. soldiers orphans Ia all, n
boarders from New York and elsewhere, and
LOB psuper or INDECENT children; making a
total Of PCS. The following statement has
been made of the way in which Frederick
Douglass and his present wife Formerly Miss
Helen Pitts became acquainted:
Among one Of the first teachers who wen;

Miss Helen Pitts. She did not remain there

office of Mr.. Douglass, and thus it seems an
intimacy sprang up between them, and
soon after this Miss Pitts became teacher
at Fitch's Home, but Miss Davis did no
then know of her acquaintance with Fred
Douglass Miss Pits taught school here
during the year for which she had beer
engaged, and afterward married tie coloreC
orator.
The National tribune., 1893-11-02

never married, and never had any children,
the dryness of tbs remark is apparent.
Along about 1880 the school was disc0n-
tinued, and On March 8, 1881, the original
act of The Legislature was amended, whereby
the incorporatoTs of the Home were dis
placed by board of three trustees; namely,
Francis S. Fitch, Hon. Talmadge Baker, and
Gen. ID. n. Couch lat one time commanding
the Second Corps in the Army Of the Poto-
mac). In1S82, the Legislature passed an act,
approved April 6, authorizing the trustees
to transfer Fitch's Home to the Board of
Managers of National Homes for Disabled
Volunteer Soldiers, but the transfer was
never consumma' ed.
By an act approved March "a, 1893, it was
provided that an additional building be
erected, so as to accommodate 200 inmates,
the State paying $4,000 toward defraying
the expense of building such addition and
of furnishing the same.
In accordance with this act, large brick
building was erected, which, together with
the original edifice in which the art gallery
was located, now forms the main building
of the Home.
THE MAIN BUILDING
faces south, ard is 10 by 40 feet; the GEN.
trail part has three stories and story above
under Mansard roof; the remai inder has two
stories. In this main building there are at
present six wards, also used as dormatories !;
and besides these there are, in the basement
of the main building, kitchen, two dining
rooms and a bakery and store-rooms
! On the first floor above the basement, in
/ the western part of the building, is located
/ the business Office of the Superintendent,
besides several other rooms winch are occu-
| pied by assistant officers of the institution.
In 1887 the State of Connecticut, by
virtue of an act approved April 20 of that
year, assumed the control and govern
ment of Fiich's Home, since which time a
very large number of alterations and i'm
proyements have been made.
AS a large amount of water is necessary
for snch an institution, the boring of an
artesian well was commenced in 1887, but
after reaching depth of over 100 feet, the
supply of water was found to be inadequate,
and further boring was discontinued. An
additional piece of ground of about five
acres having been purchased, the further
boring for water was transferred to lower
tract, in the woods, and now plentiful sup
ply of water is obtained. The first we'll
that was bored, short distance south of
the main building, was subsequently filed
up, and is now covered by fine tower en-
circling water-tank of about "a, 900 gallons
! capacity.
