Judge B, F. Gaffney said that Mr. Curtin would undoubtedly keep in mind the principle which, if followed is sure to bring succes: namely, to always strive to excel. A young man, he added, who out into the world from a university, undergoes a process of disenchantment, and he must make an earnest effort to excel himself, as well as to excel what others have done hefore him. Judge Gaffney assured Vice Consul Curtin that though he would be far away from New Britain, could always be certain that the prayers and best wishes of all assembled will be for him and with him until he returns again, “Ed” Walsh, Sox pitcher of who came up occasion, was extended M. due who made er for and is il an J vis) for Ang.

Mr. Curtin was then presented with handsome travelling bag and a cam- era. The presentation was made by Arthur E. J. Reilly, who told “Bill" that if the bag were a large steamer trunk it could not contain all the good wishes which will go with him on his journey, and that while the camera was a very fine instrument, there is one photograph it cannot take—the picture of the aggregate sentiments .of love and esteem in which all assembled hold the young vice consul. Mr. Reilly requested Mr. Curtin to take that picture and to develope it in the dark chamber of his innermost affections, then to print it indelibly on his mind and ta wear it in his heart forever, Postmastey W. T. Delaney then spoke. He remarked that the Curtin family had alveady spread out quite a bit and that branch of the fam- ily would extend all the way ta South America.

Klingberg has main- tained his orphanage for a period of fifteen years and always depending on prayer and faith for the means for the continuance of the work. Since he has kept the home the cash con- tributions have amounted to $145,- 647.21, which figures include the sum set aside for the building fund. The valuation placed on food, clothing, cte., received is estimated at $16.400, so that prayer and faith have yielded $162,000 to the institution. The annual meeting of the trustees was held last evening and the officers were re-clected and are as follows President, H. Walter; vice presi- dent, Henry Capen; secreta ) ity Moore; treasurer, E. F. Neumann. There were no deaths at the home during the year and Superintendent Klingberg expressed appreciation to Dr. George H. Bodley, Dr. F. Forest and Dr. L. E. Dary for constant medi- cal care and to Dr. J. H. Potts for spe- cialist care. Rev. Klingberg's report in part follows: “The need of a building as a per- manent home for the orphans mak itself felt more and more. For this undertaking extensive preparations | have been made. Tand was purchased | nine v ago for a cash price of 11,000.- Plans for a suitable building were prepared by an able architect and accepted by a building commit- tee, but owing to the lack of funds on { one hand and fear of going into deht on the other have caused the post- ponement of this enterprise from time to time. Although the building fund has had an increase of $5,154.75 this year, yet on account of the conditions relative to the war, it has been de cided to postpone the matter a little longer, and meantime wait upon God for Jarger sums .in hopes that the building might be erected fre of debt. “My hope is that the Lord may let me live to the day when these or- phans and hundreds of others will have a home of their own, whe they will be brought up in the fear of God and be trained for life’s duties. “This children. t ro vear we have received 23 new Tiwelve of the older boys and girls have graduated from the grammar school.
