SPRINGFIELD, May 19.—For the | first time since the beginning of the | deadlock in the Illinois Republican | Convention the delegates commenced to | shuw signs of breaking away, and there was evidenced a disposition to leave the leaders. Many of the delegates left town this morning and some said they would not come back until some of the guberna- torial candidates got out of the race. | Their votes were cast by the mgcre faithful of the delegates, and in some instances a single delegate voted an entire county. The feeling of unrest found vent in the introduction of a resolution pro- viding that the convention proceed to the nomination of candidates for office other than Governor, but the propo- | sition was defeated. None of the gubernatorial candidates wanted the resolution to go through, and the candi- dates for minor offices were too timid | to insist upon it, fearing such action would hurt their chances. The pro- longed fight is bearing heavily on the | men who want the smaller places. All of them have been maintaining head- quarters which cost them from $50 to | salaries of State | is are very small, even | |$100 a day. As the officers in Illin: the successful didates will be behind in a financial way when the convention adjourns. Some of them closed their headquarters to-day. The ballots taken to-day were with- out change in the result. Sherman's men continued to vote for Deneen throughout the day, but he made no further gaing, and on the last ballot men returned to to-night Sherman’s him The result of the last ballot taken to-night, the fifty-seventh, was: Yates Lowden 483 | wa P 3935, Deneen 3881, ., Hamlin 109, Sherman 43, er rce 31.

THROUGH A CHILD'S BODY Surgeon Removes It From Girl's Hand Several Months After She Had Swallowed It. NEW YORK, May 19.—A piece of slate pencil two and a half inches long and sharpened .to a needle-like point has been remoyed from the right hand of Rosalie Layko, a nine-year- old Brooklyn schoolgirl. The pencil had been working its way about the child’s body since January last, when she swallowed it while at play. Ef- forts to remove it from her stomach then proved of no avail and for sev- eral weeks she has complained of paing in the side and shoulder. Fin- ally the object moved down through her arm and caused the hand to swell. The doctors were greatly astonished ! upon applying the lancet and encoun- tering the hard piece of slate. They ysay there is no record of so large a | substance passing through the human | body in a similar manner. | e | NERVOUS STRAIN CAUSES | FATAL STROKE OF APOPLEXY | ! Seattle Woman Drops Dead at Home | of Sister After Latter Had Under- gone a Dangerous Operation. ST. PAUL, Minn, May 19.——Mrs. Stella Hammond of Seattle, Wash., dropped dead here at the home of her sister, Mrs. J. N. Savard, after the lat- ter had undergone a dangerous opera- tion for cancer of the stomach. Mrs. Hammond apparently was in good health. The nervous strain of assist- ing at the operation is supposed to have brought on a stroke of apoplexy. The operation on Mrs. Savard, it is said, was one of the most difficult in {surgical science and included a re- {moval of a part of the patient’s stom- ach. Five surgeons worked four hours to perform the operation. —_————— The Old Man—Isn't it possible for you to go to college without having to play poker, spend money and rafse the devil generally?

When the $20,000 gift was obtained from Mr. Carnegie it became the ambition of the library trustees, the librarian and architect to produce the most convenient and ac- | ceptable building that was possible. More than sixty meetings of the li- brary board have been held, criticisms of the building plans were freely asked Cruz. their library asm of the public has lately provided ments for the rooms. The site for the building was purchased upon terms which are easv for the board to meet: {340 per month for ten ears. One of the libraries of San Fran- cisco of which the public hears but lit- tle, but which is accomplishing val- uable work, is that of the Academy of Sciences. It is not a circulating library and its 12,000 volumes of scientific works are purely for reference use. They are in fourteen different lan- guages. be found the proceedings of most of the important scientific societies of the world. The majority of the patrons of this library are instructors and pro- fessors. The Oakland Public Library Board allowed a number of the library attend- of the State Library Association and paid for their substitutes. This lib- eral policy is in line with the encour- | agement given to teachers under the | State law allowing full pay to teach- ers while attending the County Insti- | tutes. That long-heralded concert of the children in the Greek Theater at Berkeley for the furnishing of the children’s room in the new Library building netted $650. Part of this sum will be spent for books and the re- mainder for special adornments of the room. Artist Willlam Keith has of- fered to paint a picture expressly for the Library building. EUREKA LIBRARY. By the efforts of Congressman Gillette the Eureka Public Library will be made a repository for Government publica- tions. These number about 500 annu- ally, some of them being very valuable to the different interests of the State. The library board of Los Angeles will establish another branch library, to be located on West Washingtqn street. The residents in this neighborhood have agreed to contribute $500 toward the expenses of the first year. The ecirculation of books from the | Pasadena Public Library has in the |1ast two months greatly increased. ‘With a total of 22,000 volumes on . the shelyes, the criculation for home use | during Ap 1 was 9550, or almost one- half of the number of books in the li- brary. The library board has voted to join the Southern California Archaeo- logical Association, paying the fee of $10. This society proposes to recover and restore as much as possible of the early records of California, with paint- ings, statuary, architecture, music and all similar work of the early inhabit- ants of this region. Ballard, Wash., rejoices in its com- pleted Carnegie Library, and will dedi- cate the building June 17. It has two stories. The lower story has the usual appointments of a library, with the ad- ditional features of a smoking-room, where men can read and smoke; also a conversation room for.women, taste- fully fitted up with chairs and lounges.

They have also peti- tioned the mine owners to erect a build- ing for a reading-room. Our western neighbors of Hilo, H.

When the city of Waterloo, Iowa, was offered a $30,000 Carnegie library building the citizens were unable to agree whether it should be located on the east or west side of the river. The controversy raged for two rears, be- coming so warm that Mr. Carnegie, in the interest of harmony, withdrew his offer. He has recently made the un- usual proposal to give them $40,000, or $20,000 for a library building in each of, the two sections of the city. An example of special generosity has lately been displayed through the gift of a library building to Greene, N. Y. liam H. Moore and James Hobart Moore as a memorial to their parents, and cost, with the lot, $70,000. The donors have also given an endowment | fund of $50,000 for the maintenance and given and the generous enthusi- |p.. | | i | | of the library. outl Not content with these . when the estimate of the li- trustees for furnishing the li- brary was placed at $7000 the givers equipments and many beautiful orna- | gont’them a check for $9000.
