In the absence of Richard Bliss of Newport, J. L. R. Harrison, librarian of the Providence Athenaeum, presided at the meeting of the Rhode Island Li- brary association held in the public library building at Arlington. There were two sessions, morning and even- ing, and the opening paper was read by Ethan Wilcox, librarian emeritus of the Westerly public library. His sub- ject was Book Buying in New York, and treated in a comprehensive and instructive way of a practical plan for the conservation of the library book fund, advocating the desirability of keeping posted on clearance book sales in all marts of the world, which can be readily done nowadays with the modern postal facilitie: Rev. Joseph L. Peacock, librarian of the Westerly public library, read the first paper of the afternoon session, his subject being The Stranger Within the Gates, which was an interesting and instructive interpretation of what the public expects from a public lbrary. He explained that a library was no storehouse of books, where the public could seek information within the building under prescribed conditions, but a distributing agency of knowledge and intellectual recrea— The physical, educational and tempermental quali tions of a libra- rian were referred to ir connection with the work and the need of sound moral judgment in the selection of boeks of fiction for general distribu- tion. There was a genera] discussion of all four papers and the meeting was help- ful to the forty or more library work- ers in attendance. At the funeral of Edward C. Brown ‘Thursday afternoon at his residence in Greenman avenué the services were conducted by Rev. John G. Dutton of the Broad street Christian church, many friends being in attendance.

Announcement was made Tuesday by the local management of Steeple- chase Island, says The Bridgeport Farmer, that negotiations between Maurice Boom, the vaudeville agent, and George C. Tilyou, lessee of the island, have fallen through. Monday George C. Tilycu, Captain Paul Boyton, his local representative and Mr. Boom held a conference New York. According to the statement of Capt. Boyton, Mr. Boom continued to regard the proposition that he amnd Tilyou had agreed upon, ag a good one, but he admitted that he was un- able to get necessary cash to finance the deal. It was stated here that Tilyou ad heres to ‘his determination not to r open the island as an amusement re sort of his own, but is anxious to transfer the lease. Tilyou leased the vears from the heirs of the late John McMahon. The lease has four years to run. The annual rental is at an in- creasing scale, and there is a purchase privilege included. in | island for ten | | Capt. Boyton said that Mr. Tilyou GOLD DUST Cuts Grease and Dissolves Dirt.
