Just fifteen years ago, June i, 1894, the public library and memorial build

Just fifteen years ago, June 1, 1894, the public library and memorial buiId- ing was opened to the public and James E. Kennedy became the custodian. MT Kennedy was employed as a carpenter in the construction of the building by Robert Sherman, the builder While there were many applicants for the custodianship, the trustees offered the place to Mir. Kennedy unsolicited.
 It was essential to have a man famil- lar with the building, so the trustees were unanimous in the choice of MT Kennedy. He maintains the best of order in the large reading room, is courteous to all callers. and delights m guiding strangers through the Wellsap- pointed institution. and leaves a good impression with all patrons and visit ors.
 Both Grand Army posts have their quarters in the building and since MT.

At 8 o'clock Monday afternoon Ire alarm was sent in from box 73, at the Westerly Power and Light company. The Cyclone hose wagon, driven by James A. Welch, reached the fire be- fore the last round of the alarm was finished. The fire was of no conse- quence and there was no need tc send in the alarm. The blaze started in pile of rubbish against a small barn owned by Joseph s. Grills in Canal street and was presumably the work of small boys. The outside of the end of the barn was charred, but the nre was extinguished by the prompt appli- cation of a few buckets of water.

cohcERhIh pR. WILLIAMS.

WE notice a criticism OF Gov
ernG HaGey going the rounds q
the press On account Il the selee-
don Of Dr.. George Williams as su-
perintendeut Of Hospital No. /, az
Fulton, No. Governor Hadley had
nothing TO do with the selection OF
Dr.. Williams as superintendent Of
Hospital No. /. Dr.. Williams was
the unanimous choice q the board.
which Is composed q three Repub-
leans and Two Democrats. As far
as we ara enabled to inform our
selves Dr. Williams Is making a
most efficient and satisfactory super.
iDtendent Governor Hadlsy inform
Cd the board that they were united
ana turned looes and that be would
hold them responsible for ths man
ageEnent q the Institution and that
they should be free in selecting the
man they thought best equipped for
this important place. The board Sc
lected DR.. Williams. and gave him
a FREQ hand ia choosing The en-
ployes with the understanding that
they would hold him responsible for
a successful administration.
It seems that the chiS criticism
81 Or. Williams 10 that he Is a Re
pubbnan- Under the circumstance
such criticisms are. TO say the least
ridiculous.
Tho Ledger firmly believes that
the State institutions should b.
taken out q politics entirely. bu.
under existing conditions it wa!
thoroughly understood that when tn
time Of tho Democratic officers q
the State Institutions expired heii
places would be filled with Republi
cans, with the understanding that ef
sleisnt and satisfactory men shoult
be selected.
Politicians cf any party make
mistake to drag the State inst1tu
tions into political controversy. IN
less there Is some real reason. Dr
George Williams Is a Republican, bu'
az far as we are able to learn Ii
making q most successful superin
tendeR f the largest hospital ii
the State. This position Is hard u
fin under the very best conditions
and until sOms cause appears 70
criticism those who have the we.
fare Of tho un~fortunates Of the Stat
at heart should be slow to embal
rass the management. The State in
stitudons cannot be taken out Of pc.
tics by this line Of attack. Both pan
ties ara interested in these institl
tons and should confer with refe.
eDce to eliminating politics. Notl
ing in this direction can be game
by uncalled-for criticism or bicke
ings either on the part Of Dem
Gratis or Republicans.
There we're several applicants Il
the position Of superintendent
Hospital No. /, all Of course Repu
hcans. No applicant could have hs
stronger endorsements as a phys
clan. or as a high minded gent
man from both Democrats and r
publicans than did DR.. william
