Literary Direction.

Literary Direction.
AS has already been mentioned in
,he GAzETTE a German Library has
1een opened at No. All Shipley street :
This library isthe result of much labor
on the part of several very intelligent
herman citizens, and deserves more
than brief passing notice. 1t is
really valuable addition to the liter.
ature of our city.
Inc library at present contains
over 6OO volumes, and will be increased
ny fresh accessions during the next
tnree weeks, to about 1000 volumes.
The books have been selected with
great judgment, care having been ey.
ercised in taking nothing but the stan.
dard works of eminent authors. A
few of the most important works will
illustrate the general character of the
whole collection, and these few are
here given.
Fred Brockhaucr's valuable Lexicon
comprising fifteen volumes of solid,
practical information on subjects innu.
nerable. Becker's "History (Chris.
tian) of the World" and Rotteck's
History QnfdeD of the World, -"
thereby suiting the religious views Of
all classes of readers. Then come
the thoughtful and profound writings
OF Jean Paul, the philosophical and his.
torical works of Wieland, the choicest
gems of Schiller and Goethe, and
nearly all OF Bschokhe's famous
novels.
In addition there are German trans
| lation of the leading works of Bulwer.
Scott, Byron, Dickens, Cooper and
| other eminent English and American
writers. Also, fine editions of Shaks.
peare, and of Paine's political works
An interesting feature of the library
is a number of very old and rare vol.
umes, which were presented by John
Griner, The most valuable of these
are
"a Theory of the Treatment of the
Horse by Matthias Goetz, printed at
Frankfort, in 1864. This book contains
number of engravings which would
even now compare favorably with the
work of some modern presses.
"a Book for the Health and Family
business, by A. Egenofln, printed at
Frankfort, IN 1914. This old volume
retains the bold appearance of its ori.
ginal Typography and contains a
number of well executed colored en-
cravings.
"a book on Astronomy, Medicine,
&C." by Heinrich Vogt, printed at
Strausbourg. in 1889. This is very
quaint old volume and has many
curious engravings.
volume of Tales, Mysteries and
Legends, printed in 1904 is bound in
hogskin.
These old volumes are valuable ad.
ditions to the library.
The establishment OF this library
has been going on about four years
and the volumes purchased cost about
5000. The men who organized it are
Henry Miller, President; Fred Borden,
Secretary; A. Wilhelm, Treasurer; c.
Mehfus, Herman Rau, A Hauber, and
Kaiser Aperger. These seven gentle
men were in the habit Of meeting and
having literary exercises at each 9th
er's houses on Sunday mornings and
from these meetings the library sprang
into existence.
The library will hereafter be open
daily and all German citizens, and all
Of our peorle who are able to read
German, can freely avail themselves
OF its privileges, AZ no charge is made
tor the use of the books.

"a n.ver " the Board should decide

taV '.Vt and if it is, to decide where re.
.I'b .I'.,bment shall be effected.
'tIf ~ further said that in a recent con.

ssined the following points;
Jet ,.t That Council has no right to

so ,souuts asked for by the Board.

a That this financial trouble be.

Nh That is too late for the matter
n he settled by the Courts this year.
Wr. Eckel further said that if the
BOARD had any remedy to suggest,
NV il the time to announce it.
MI M Ferris said this same trouble
ssd existed in Brooklyn, and had been
ssttld BY the Courts in favor of the
Poald Of Education. He suggested
sttbe schools should be conducted
.ususl until the end of the school
rssr, and then closed if the appropria.
5ous are exhausted. He thought the
roestion should be made an issue at
Ne next city election, and no man
.scted to City Council who is not in
yor of giving the Board of Education
money enough toproperly conduct thu
shOcls.
W. Woolley, in his remarks, showed
ta&tween Dec. 1st, 1858, and Dec,
lS 1913, Council had appropriated to
heBOard, $45l ,649. Az, but only paid
gg $416, ,9l1.0 02, leaving a deficiency
dS4,737.55. Thus the Board has for
yan been financially embarrassed
ndslarge deficiency will exist at the
tose of the next school year.
Mr.. Zebley thought the Council was
tound by law to raise the amount
Esed for by the Board.
M Baird moved that the subject be

With instructions to confer with the
City Council Finance Committee and
committee of three citizens, relative

Mr.. Eckel thought this would only

Comm ,ss; oners Convicted,

PorTsvILLE, Sept. 6.-After long and
tedious trial the former Commissioners OF
this country, Valentine Benner, Moses Hine
and Patrick Conry, were convicted of NAL
fesiancc in Office, and although they en-
ployed the best legal talent that could be
procured their guilt was so glaring char.
acter that they were at once convicted.
Their counsel at once applied for new trial
and the case was argued or both sides, the
court rescrving its decision until this morn
ing: Atthe appointed time large audience
assembled in the court house to hear the
decision of the court, which was delivered
by Judge Pershing, who refused the motion
for a new trial and the Commissioners were
arraigned for sentence. The sentence was
as follows: Benner and Hine were each
sentenced to pay a fine of 81 1000; the cost
of the prosecution, be removed from office,
and undergo an imprisonment of two years.
Conry was sentenced to pay fine of $500,
and the rest of the prosecution, and be re.
novel from office. The sentence took al
most everybody by surprise, yet all concede
1t Is just decision.

OUR CITY HOSPITAL,

COUNCIL APPROPRIATION EXHAUSTED. j.
Last evening, in Council bill in favor OF
W.Q. Moore was presented for approval,
but Mr.. Farrell, member of the Hospital
Committee stated that only $144 of the
$4,000 appropriated by Council for the sup
port of our hospital, remained, and that
other bills which must be- passed would
cover that amount. .... ......
The bill presented was for $117 on account
OF board, due the Superintendent, and had
to be paid out of the miscellaneous fund, by
special action. 1t was stated that parties
who had become responsible for patients
board, had failed to pay and hence the pre-
sentation of the bill to Council. If the
amounts due We're paid in there would be
no necessity of applying to Council for as
sistance.
The appropriation, however, is now ex-
hausted and unless the city comes to its help
the Hospital will have difficulty in getting
along.
