competency from it though mis- many
years of active life, during W hlch he carried
the American Flag-hs special pride-into
every commercial port of importance on the
globe, leaving in each such reputation for
strict integrity, sobriety and uprightness of
character that brother sea captain said of
him: wherever the name of Everett
Staples is mentioned it is with the highest
respect" In religion he was a Unversalist,
and in politics staunch Republican, being a
firm supporter of the present administration
and a believer in its policies. For the past
