FIRST LIBRARY IN AMERICA.
Annapolis Was the First City to start n
Public Library.

DIR. Bernard G. Steiner, librarian of
the Enoch Pratt Free Library, of Balti-
more, read paper Monday night at the
monthly meeting of the Maryland His
torical Society giving an account OF what
is claimed to he the first public or circu-
latlng library i'm America. It was found
ed in Annapolis i'm 1892, in connection
with st. Anne's parish, through the ef
forts of Rev. Thomas Bray, an English
clergyman, and with the aid of a liberal
contribution from Princess (afterward
Queen) Anne in return for the compli-
ment of naming for her the new capital
of Maryland.
The Annapolis library was part of Il
general plan of DIR. Bray's for the estab-
lishment of libraries in connect o n
with the parishes of the Church of Eng.
land in both the old country and the
colonies. In Maryland the idea was
generally followed, and in a few years
there were sixteen libraries in this colo,
ny, a much larger number than in any
other of the colonies. DIR. Bray also
played an important part in the estab-
lishment of the Church of England in
Maryland. He was appointed commits
sary-general of the clergy of the colony
in 1896 by the Bishop of London, but
did not visit Maryland until 1899, being
engaged during the intervening year in
trying to secure from Parliament the
passage of Il satisfactory measure legal
izing the English Church in Maryland.
On his visit here he induced the Assem- !
bly, of Maryland to pass a measure es-
tablishing the church and providing for
the maintenance of the clergy, and on
his return to England he obtained the
approval of it.
In 169S he proposed plan for estab-
fishing Protestant propaganda, which
resulted in the formation of the Society
for Promoting Christian knowledge,
still i'm existence. He was also engaged
in other philanthropic and religious
undertakings and was the author of
many books. Rev. DIR. John q. Morris
presided at the meeting of the Historical
Society. The Following active members
were chosen Philip ID. Laird, Il. Ed
ward Hamilton, Daniel Miller, Joshua
Levering, James Ii. Cranwell and Rev.
DIR. James III. NJ. Knox. Thomas Ash
burner, of st. Louis, Mo-, was elected a
corresponding member.

Pay Director Fulton, whose death oc-
Cured at the Naval Academy yesterday,
occasioned by heart trouble and other
complicated diseases, was in his sixty
sixth year and would have been retired
in 1897. He was the senior pay officer
in the Navy. He had formerly been
stationed at Mare Island, Cal, which
duty he left when he came to Annapolis
four years ago. He had been connected
with the navy thirty-seven years, having
been appointed from Tennessee, as pur-
ser, in 1858. He was made paynasser
in 1860, pay inspector in 1871 am. pay
director in 1875. superintendent Coop
er, of the Naval Academy, said during
his thirty-seyen years of service Pay Di-
rector Fulton had endeared him to all
who had the privilege of being associated
with him, and that his loss will be felt
by all, especially by those ut the station
who have served with him. Superin-
tendent Cooper, in an order announcing
the death of Pay Director Fulton, sus-
pends studies and exercises at the Naval
Academy from dinner formation until
roll-call to-day so that officers and cadets
might attend the funeral. The funeral

Taken in Time

Hoods Sarsaparilla has achieved great
success in warding off sickness which,
if allowed to progress, would have un-
dermined the whole system and given
disease a strong foothold to cause much
suffering and even threaten death
Hoods Sargaparilla has done all this
and even more. 1t has been taken in
thousands of cases which were thought
to be incurable, and after fair trial has
effected wonderful cures, bringing
health, strength and joy to the afflicted.
Another important point about Hood &
Sarsaparilla is that it cures are perma-
nent, because they start from the solid
foundation of purified, yitalized and ell
riched blood. But it is not what we say
but what Hoods Sarsaparilla does that
tells the story.
