Tiie women occupy positions either in charge of small libraries or as subordinates in larg libraries, while the men were almost alto gether librarians in charge. It eo happened that the American Pharinaceutical tion was holding annual meeting in Den ver at the same time, and one of the libra- zians remarked that he overheard an Intelli gent resident of Denver say ‘that the men visitors were all druggists and the women visitors all librarians.” Yet, although the women were largely in the majority, they oc pled a minor place in the diccussion and when the election of officers occurred not a single important oflice was given to a woman The p ldency of the association went to Mr. J. C. Dana, the librarian of one of the Denver libraries, while the meeting place for next year went to Cleveland, IN DENVER'S LIBRARI looked hastily through Den public libraries, both of which are smaller than the Omaha library. One of them, the city library, was established by the Chamber of Commer in 1886 and was mainta d by funds subscribed by members of the Chamber of Commerce for a period of five years. At the expiration of that time the city rtouncil made an appropriation of $6,000 a year, and it has since been iucreased to $7,500. The fibrary contains about 28,000 volumes and is very much cramped for room. One little incident in connection with it will show that .t does not quite fill the place which it might be expected to fill. 1 called at the library Monday morning about 10 o'clock and found” that tho circulating department was open and doing business. The refercnce room and the reading room, however, which are reached from the strect and by a dif- ferent entrance, displayed the attractive s'gn Not Open Until After 2 p. m."” The very next window, however, in the very same building, offered a display of literature ac. cessible at all hours of the day w h would have made a train newsboy leap for joy. Spread out a space of not more than six square fest is a collection of yellow bacl and paper novels, among which I noticed “‘Boccacio’s n” “Bel Ami3 “We- man Prope Dispozes,'” “Her Fatal Passion, Delights” while a Po- lico Ga wag artist'eally suspended from a wire across the top. The Chamber of Commerce, therefore, seems to be encourag: fng not only very wholesome reading for the people of Denver, through the city library, but the circulation of a most vicious litera ture through a small news vender, who may perhaps pay it $20 a month rent “Denver's second public library is maln- tained by one of the schrol districts and is established in one wing of its High school building. It was opened in 1889, consisting then of 1,500 volumes, which had previously formed a public school library. Additions by purchase and by gift have increased the collection to 23,676 volumes, exclusive of 2,300 volumes of bound medical journa 8,000 volumes of public documents and sev- eral thousand pamphlets. The librarian, Mr J. C. Dana, acts not only as head of the li- brary. but also as secretary of the Board of Education of that district. Mr. Dana has made several innovations in library work Ho has inaugurated a system by which book orrowers have direct access to the shelves and he has also established a library train- ing school, In which pupils are trained to undertake library work. They act as as- sistants to the librarlan while undergoing tuition and receive no pay for their work dur dng that time, There have been qu'te a number of students in this library school. They are all young women who would probably other wise have gone into the ranks of public school teachers. CONSIDERED ONE TOO MANY. I spoke to a number of people as to the advisability of maintainiog two public li- braries in the same city with two s:pirate and distinct administrative forces, both sap- ported by the public funds. Most of them agreed that the plan is not a good one. The double library system requires the duplica- tion of a great many works of reference and standard reading, of which a single copy would be enough in a ecity the size of Den- wver. Instead of increasing the number of public library patrons it tends largely to serve the same book borrowers simu’taneous’'y who draw books out of both libraries. It . also Involves Increased expenses for bullding lighting and many other items. If it is ad- visable to have more than one library in a clty, it seems from Denver's experience that it would bo much more advisable to have them both under a single management, or rather to have the second library a branch of the first “I tried me fixed T in cure librar 1 the libr stimulate large west as stern th s as four get the the of of It was notice fons meeting a ral idea nducted manner over Is assocla. its e r's two Devil *“Dangerous zotte to induce dibrarians, who must Tomes, to stop over in Omaha and our public libra Some of them to do so If it were possible, and one or tw of them have alrealy redeemed their promises.

LOUIS, Aug. 24.—W. W. Ramsey and other bondholders of the Equitable Savngs and Investment company have applied to the eireuit court for an injunction restraining the officers of the company from collecting any more dues or declaring the plaintiffs’ bonds forfeited by a non-payment of dues. They also ask for the appointment of a recelver and an equitable distribution of the assets of the company, which was organized in 1893 nnder the name of the St. Louls Mutual Bond Investment company The exteut of the operations of the invest- ment company were enormous before the post office declared the ccncern to be fraudulent It has not enjoyed public confidence, the plalntiffs state, since the reorganization, which took place immediately after, and has done little new business, although $129,92 has been paid in and only $56,620 expended in maturing bonds There has been a continuous lapsing of bonds since 1893 and the plaintifts complain that no report or statement has been issued siuce November of that year.

The Indians for whom habeas corpus 1s to be lssued, however, took no part in the Bannock trouble. They are Shoshones from the Wind River agency and were arrested and fined $75 each for killing game out of season, some time before the Bannock trouble began. Being unable or unwllling to pay their fines, they have been working them out In jall.

Shippers & t of Dix rested Weighers, CHICAGO, Aug. ~Unless the demands o the Illinois Grain Dealers assoclation are promptly acceded to by the elevator men of Chicago there is a bright prospect for the institution of a virtual boycott against the latter class that will affect their business to a serious extent. This is the kind of gaunt let that was thrown down last evening at a joint meeting of committees from the Illinols Grain Dealers’ assoclation and the Chicago Recelvers and Shippers assoclation. L former committee represented some 500 grain shippers throughout the state and the latter was composed of members of the Board of Trade, commission merchants and shippers. The meeting was arranged for the purpose of discussing the evils of the present system of weighing grain in vogue among elevator men and to devise means for its correction. It re- sulted in the unanimous conclusion that the | interests of the grain dealers of the state de- manded that disinterested weighmen should be on duty at each public elevator and that such elevator companies as refused to adopt the suggestions should be discriminated against_by dealers making shipments to Chi- cago. Tha chairmen of both committees were outspoken in denouncing what they term the utrageous methods of the elevator men and cach claimed to voice the sentiment of his association as being in favor of public weigh- me e i Made n S riling Disclosn ANN ARBOR, Mich., Aug. 24.—An alleged startling revelation has just been made con- carning a cave-in of a main sewer h on January 1, 1894. City Marshal Peterson has | just been informed of a deathbed statement made by Mrs. Henry Oltmeir to the effect that she believed that the cave-in was delib erately planned by her husband, so as to cause the death of Richard Suppler and George Henry, who were burled in the cive- in. The sewer in question was twenty deep and it is claimed that the bracing screws in use were purposely loosened to cause the collapse.
