that the rush and excitement created by it

Presently Cannavan was asked if he would

BELOW THE JANTroRsHIps of the

Of the cuspadores at the Mayors
Office, the meanest position a person
can hold under the government of
the city of Philadelphia is that of
driver of the prison van. Even the
dog catchers hold themselves superior
to it and yet the driver of the prison
van has been discharged because, in
the pride of his race, he refused to
allow negro policeman to sit beside
him. During the last few years there
has been a reaction with intelligent
people against the indulgence and
fayoritism with which the freedmen
were treated just after the close of the
war, but a few more exhibitions of
such unyielding race prejudice as this
among the lower classes will make
the colored man again the spoiled
child of politics. Philadelphia Press.

Joseph Sabine, who died in New York
Sunday night Of last week, aged GO, was
placed bv the trade as the first book expert
in the country. and as perhaps the best book
auctioneer in the world, and to all librarians
he is known as great cataloguer. Born in
Northamptonshire. England. his intimate ac-
quantance with the rank and fle Of the vast
army Of books with which the world is over
run, was due in some measure to the rough
treatment given by long apprenticeship to
an Oxford stationer; but the love of books
for their own sake seemed born in him, and
gave his knowledge a fulness and accuracy
which no amount of mere persistence could
have conferred.
He married at So the daughter Of an Oxford
architect but soon after came to this country
intending 20 farm il in Texas. Finding his
farm not next door to New York. as he had
thought it. he entered the service Of w. II.
Appleton. the bookseller, then Of Phila-
delphia In time he established himself there
as book importer, but at the beginning Of
the war he opened store in New York, and
began the greatest work he undertook, a
dictionary Of all books relating to America.
Thirteen volumes Of this dictionary have
appeared. the last covering the letter o, and
more than 100. 900 books are named.
Many stories are told of his wonderful
memory for books, which might be called
Photographic, 40 exact was his recollection
of the size and appearance Of thousands of
volumes. He astonisbed the New York book
connoisseurs at an auction once by bidding
90 for n copy Of smiths History Of New
York" printed in London in 1923, more than
they thought it was worth But when 1t wa-
knocked down to him he explained that u
was printed on paper \ little wider than the
ordinary edition. and he sold it for $500. lie
could recognize books even when they were
wrapped up. Where are you going with
that HoearthI" he once cried to a passing
friend with parcel under his arm, though
not of unusual size OF shape. II is said that
he could walk by the shelves Of any large
library and tell something interesting about
| 90, 900 out of 900 hooks.
He bought for many libraries and collectors
and had the reputation Of compiling more
| catalogues than any man in the country. At
this as well as at great booksales, he made a
great deal Of money, netting. it is thought,
5000 out Of the three Brinley sales; but Of
