Stands on the Moral side q An Public
& Questions Calls ON Mem Of All Races
and Cresds to Strike Down Evil-Wsnts
Pure Mon In Public Places.
The Municipal league Of Boston .is an
organization which has for its object the
better government Of the city. President
Samuel b Capen at . meeting of the
league delivered an address outlining
ito work for the coming year. After ex-
planning the reforms advocated by the
league Mr.. Capen concluded al follows:
Upon the moral side Of all public
questions this league Will ever be found.
We are eager Tor the time tooome when
we can embody our principles In list
Of candidates for the suffrage Of our
citisens We know that it is.when great
i einciples are sean in men whom the
people trust ethats the people are stirred:
/ through and through, enthusiasm 10
aroused and evil is destroyed as. by a
breath from the Almighty. We want
moro pure, honest, God fearing men In
public plsoea The religious citizenship
Of tho city, Protestant, Catholic, he
brew, must combine ito ballots and
strike down every evil Those whom We
represent hold more than tho balance al
power; they hold the majority Of the
ballots Of the city, and We hope to use
them at an early day 40 never before tor
righteousness and truth and God. ~
The splendid words spoken by Arch
biahOp Ireland in the Boston theater last
April need to be ever before us:
LET the country always elect as its
guardians It's best and worthiest sons;
let voters seek them out and give them
honor. Never should voters choose in
capable men; less yet, dishonest and i'm.
moral men. The party placing ON its
ticket dlshonored names should be over.
thrown IN inglorious defeat and learn
the stern lesson that insult is never Of
fered with impunity to the sacredness
and purity Of the republic. ~
Until that time comes we 'iaean to in
spire all as God gives us strength and
opportunity to attend to their public
duties. It means rk. constant and
unremitting, from Our citizens. We
cannot do our whole duty to the state
by spending five minutes twice a year
In marking list of names In polling
booth. There is preliminary work Of ed
ucation to be done for ourselves and
others. There are great problems to be

SALE OF THE RETREAT
This Valuable Property Was Purchased by
Miss Ella Wood on Yesterday.
WILL Be USED BY ST. MARY'S ACADEMY
The Retreat Found Its Quarters Too
Mach Cramped ana Purposes
co Erect a Modern City Hospital
60 Cost 860, 1000 as soon as Lot Can
Possibly Re- Secured.

The Retreat for the Sick. located on the
large square bounded by Holt, Mariner
and Riley streets. has been sold. The os-
tensible purchas ser is MISS ELLA Wood,
and the price paid Is In tho neighborhood
of $4,000.
For some time past 1t has been appar-
ent that the building occupied by the Re
treat was inadequate to the large and
growing needs OF that institution and
som-' months ago IL was decided to dis
pose OF the old property and erect at
come point in the city modern and
commodiols city hospital, at as carly a
date as possible.
Tine plan Of charging and undermining
the old building was rejected because
Of the fact that II was one OF the Oldest
buildings in the city and would soon fall
into decay again.
To tea: down the structure and erect q
new building IN is place was ref ,c.t i
as impracitcable owing 10 the extra rost
involved. and therefore Il was decided to
sell the properly outright and start anew
somewhere else.
Capt. John l.. Ropar, president If the
Eoard OF Trustees, was seen at his iesi-
dence last evening and confirmed the ru-
NOR OF the sale.
He said: I'VE have been contemplate
ing some such action for some time, be-
lieVing that the gr at work the Retreat
is now doing would be cramped uni SIS we
enlarged our quarters to keep pace with
the growing scope of usefulness. The
sale has been made and possession will
b. given on September /. While the Re-
treat will bu!Ndl as soon as eligible quar-
ters can he secured we will endeavor to
secure temporary quarters by the i,me
the property passes from us. Failing in
this however. our work will have TO be
suspended until our new quarters are
completed.
Where the new building will be locat-
ed cannot say at present, but we will
purchase an ample trace OF land and I'm
prove It. This will be done at the ear
| liest possible moment"
The Retreats new hospital will be of
| b'ck and stone, and will cost $4,000
Plans have already been prepared. the
| money is in sight. and 1t only remains
| now to decide where the institution
shall be located.
The building now used by the Retreat
will be used by st. Mary's Academy,
which now occupies the old Catholic
Church. dlagonally across Holt street
| from the Retreat. The school has al
present ne play ground to speak of. and
he spacious lawns of the Retreat prom
ety. shaded by Stately trees, will be an
| Invaluable addition to the schools at
fractions.
