THE SCHOOL

is always to be -sectarian, founded strictly on equal rights for all Christian denominations. We cannot add further or better words than to quote froms Gen Washington, think, who says: "Of the dispositions which lead to political pros- perity, religion and morality are the in dispensible supports. Where is the se- curity for prosperity or life if the sense for religious obligations desert the paths which are administered in our courts of justice. And let it not be supposed that morality cannot be maintained without religion" Thanking you, my dear friends, for your kind attendance here, permit me to say, believe the greatest thing in the world is charity.
 A handsome Bible was presented to MT Staples by Edward Sherwood. In the absence of MT Relyea, the congratulatory address was made by Rev MT Mckenzie
 He emphasized the fact that the founder of the school had found great pleasure in doing good for others. We congratu late him on having found out the secret for best enjoying life, which is not ir getting, but giving. MT Mckenzie closed by saying, "God bless you for youl noble work, dear friend" C. B. Dolge of Westport spoke substantially as fol lows: Westport's ''Grand Old Man" eel ebrates his 93d birthday and the people of Westport in their desire to show the appreciation they. have for one of the most prominent and public spirited citi zens of Westport, assembled here to-day to do honor to him who has set this mon
 ment, in which the younger generation receive such excellent tuition under the
 very able, strict and conscientious Prin
 cipal Pratt. When Horace Staples
 weighed in his mind, in what manner he could do the most and lasting good tc the town in which he has spent the lar
 ger part of his active and successful life he founded this high school.

will be needed. Already we want more room in each department. My great de- sire is that it may become one of the


 MOST USEFUL INSTITUTIONS in Western Connecticut. We need large addition to our library and some more fixtures in the laboratory. In fact, there is always something wanting. Our library is one of the most important at tachments to the school. Properly sup piled, it enables it's patrons to study and learn every good thing, and were it not for financial losses, it should have 2000 more volumes this year. The books on hand are of the highest standard, and have been kept in superior order by an aided by Mrs Mary F. Page, Robert Mar tin, Morris K. Jessup and other contrib tutors, besides the original contribution of Mrs Morris Ketchum, deceased, who we mention as lasting memorial to her many good deeds. The library is patron iZed by many of our best citizens. besides the scholars. It has cost besides outside contributions, 5000 and over. The great delight in seeing this audience to-day showing their interest in the youthful generations, foreshadows the hope of { lasting prosperity to this blessed coun l trV.

HORACE STAPLES, ADDRESS.

My Friends: I am very glad to see you
 on this occasion, entering as I do my
 93d year, and the 10th year of the school year. Allow me to say that through Di- vine goodness no 10 years of my life has given me a larger proportion of solid comfort than the last. I have been be- reft of my only child in the time, but blessed with his descendants, and with the satisfactory prospect of this school, so that striking the balance, the Great Ruler of events has made me feel greater enjoyment than any other 10 years of my life. As look upon what the school has done, rejoice, truly so. When I see the highly respectable audience manifest such an interest here, am inexpressibly gratified. The school throughout has had extra care and is being conducted with superior skill by the principal and his worthy assistants. Should it contin- ue to increase as it has done for the last four years, an addition to the building

was told nc last that he might take the
helm.
He obeyed the summons with alacrity
and listened TO the captains cautions In re

and then the captain went below.
The tide was rushing by at a great rate,
and the amateur helmsman felt much graft

as he looked down &C the water.
In time. however. an investigation of the
surrounding landscape led 20 slight feel,

Political BacIsing-New Public Printer.
The reader who Is interested In the art
of printing should not neglect to visit
the largest printing Office In the world the
next time he goes TO Washington. The
place Is not very accessible and Is out OF
the itinerary OF the average tourist, but IL
Is worth an inspection. The government
printing Office Is situated at the corner OF
North Capitol and II streets in the heart
OF that unromantic region known as
SwampOodlc. The neighb0rhood Is re-
spectacle enough, but IL Is not attractive.
There are long rows Of red brick dwelling
houses Of uniform size and ugliness. The
streets are not 80 well shaded as In more
favored regions Of the national capital, nor
are the pavements so clean and regular
Moreover, there Is a workaday atmosphere
about Swampoodle that contrasts strange
ly with the general air Of laziness and lei
sure for which Washington Is distin-
guished.
The exterior of the government printing
Office Is not pleasing. IL looks like pris-

rambling, four story structure built OF
bricks and painted dirty white. The
building will fall down some day. 1t was

MANS INDIGNANTLY TO HIMSELF,

The most inhuman outrages, outrages which
would disgrace the savage, man perpetrates
upon his own system by swallowing drastic pur-
gatives which convulse his stomach. agonize his
iniestiues and weaken his system. Many people
constantly do this under the impression that
medicaments only which are violent in their
action, aud particularly cathartics, are OF any
avail. Irreparable injury to health Is wrought
under this mistaken idea. The laxative which
most nearly approaches the benehcent action Of
nature is HOstetter's stomach Bitters, which Is
painless, bat thorough, and invigorates the in
testinal canal instead Of weakening and irritat-

benign discipline instituted by this compre-
hensive medicine. whose healthful influence l.
