REV. DIR. E. J. CRAFT
 EULOG|zES GEN. GRANT

Speaking in honor of Gen, U. s. Grant. Rev. E. J. Craft of Christ Episcopal church, gave an address at the church last night, especially for members of Angeline H. Bartlett tent, D. of ", and other patriotic organi- Zations that gathered to pay tribute to Gen. Grant. Rev. MT. Craft gave a splendid eulogy of Gen. Grant He traced his career from childhood to death and interjected personal obser- vations of the man. He pictured how Grant was like many other great men born of poor parentage and grew up without any marks of exceptional brilliancy or indications of future fame. He said that the Mexican war did much to prepare Grant for his career as an army general because it brought him in touch with other men who afterwards became great in war fare. In that war he also learned the rudiments of war. He said that Grants success depended upon other factors than his genius as a leader in battle. Rev. MT. Craft glorified Gen. Grants generalship and he attri- buted four distinct reasons why Grant was a great man: His superb self-coD- fidence his persistency, a remarkable insight and. his ,ableness as a master of strategy. From these four ele- ments of greatness the speaker drew lessons for his audience.

 A week ago an automobile driven by w A. Stagg collided with the and driven by a Russian with an un- spellable name. The wagon was wrecked and the horse injured by the end of the shaft which penetrated his neck. Mr. Stagg took the horse to Nettletons stable and employed is now recovering. He also gave the peddler a wagon as good as the one wrecked and engaged a horse at his own expense to take the place of the one injured. The peddler was un1n- jured and he wants s150 damages. The whole outfit was not worth more than $50 and Mr. Stagg, who is willing to do anything reasonable regards his de- mands as exorbitant. The headlight of an approaching trolley car so blinded MT. stagg that he could not see the wagon and avoid 1t. He is regarded as one of the most careful drivers in town.

BETTER SITES FOR HIGH
 SCHOOL ARE PLENTIFUL
Large and Expensive Building Should Not be Buried Where Drainage
 is Poor
Special to The Farmer.)

Stratford April 29-The effort to ob- tain a new high school building for the town has been revived, although it is believed that it will not amount to very much The voters turned down the proposition to buy the sel- leck homestead in Main street deci- sively. It is pointed out that neither the site nor the building is suitable. Bridgeport is buying a site for a new High School and the highest ground in the city has been chosen. The promoters of the new school propose to spend a large amount of money on an ornate building. It IS pro posed to bury such building on the low grounds of Main street. If it should be demonstrated that new High Schol is of the first importance then a site more central and com manding should be selected. A resi- dent and taxpayer of the center of the town said yesterday:
 Although I have children who will attend the school and live at the cen ter, I do not believe that it is proper to locate such building as the School Board want to build anywhere in the center I believe that there are plenty of sites better adapted for the purposes which could be bought for much less money. The command ing bluff on Barnum avenue owned by Andrew Graham, I believe, would make a much better place and would cost much less. The building now on the property would accommodate the High School alone for some time and it could easily be removed at small expense if it was decided to build a larger and more imposing building. There are sites in KnOwlton Park which are much better adapted for such building than the Selleck prop erty It seems to be a favorite meth cd to unload property that cannot be handled by the owners onto the town. I understand that a large commission has been offered for the sale of the property. I for one will not stand for punching any more public build ings at the center where the drainage is poor and likely to remain so for many years. We have one big school at the center now and I believe that it would be fairer to the whole town to select some other site for a High School if one is really needed"
 There are sections of the town which need schools and need them very bad ly. Anyone who has seen the loads Of children brought into the town in furniture wagons dUang the winter, and has noted the blue noses of the shivering youngsters could not help to remark the need of schools for these. The residents of the Hunting ton road are crying for a school. Be- fore any attempt is made to get an expensive High School it would be well to look to the needs of those sections who are really suffering for school OmmOdatiOnS

A. the Murray.

It IL only necessary to advertise the
fact that Suns Childhood Days will
be the attraction at the Murray this
week to insure capacity business. This
act with the ever popular Jules Held
has played here several times and
each time to an increased business.
Jules Held. the German professor,
Prof Lmberger. by name. Is acceded
by all to be one Of the celeverest com.
edians in vaudeville and his present
vehicle gives him wide scope in
which to demonstrate his ability. In
the act he Is assisted by eight boys
and girls who sing. dance, play games
and practice the usual childish pranks
upon the unsuspecting teacher. The
girls are all pretty and dainty and
sweet while among the boy scholars
will be found the different types Of
boys, such as the tough mug, the
fop," the "dago" and last but not least
the little Jew" who furnishes so much
comedy with the act

lpetual lease of the site; so that they
are presumably at liberty if they like.
to pull down the Mansion House. and
rebuild it elsewhere, and make a very
large profit on the transfer OF the
lease.
Among the various rumors that have
gained currency during the past week
as the result, of the discussion in the
Court of Common Council is one of
suggesting the site of the old post
Office in ST. Martin 's-le-Grand as a
possible position for new Mansion
House. Another proposal is that the
present Mansion House should be
sold, and that with the proceeds the
property should be acquired adjoining
the Guildhall SO that the Lord May
or's Official residence might be identi-
fed with the scene of so many his
toric events in civic history.
AS matter of fact, neither propo-
sition has the smallest chance OF be-
ing seriously considered. The ques-
ton of the condition OF the Mansion
House has been referred to the Gener-
al Purposes committee. and it is an
ticipated that the utmost they will be
likely to recommend is certain struc-
turai alterations, with a view to giving
increased accommodation and bring
ing the sanitary arrangements up to
date.
