APUBLIC LIBRARY.

Mr.. r. w Haines Heard From on the
Subject
EDITOR News: In your weekly issue
of October go, saw an editorial entitled
Free Reading Room and Library" Civ
ing some suggestions and reasons why
EmpOria should have such an institu-
ton, to which you invite expressions
fIom others in regard to the matter AS
L have not noticed any one express
themselves through THE NEWS l will
make an attempt, Last spring when /
first arrived in the city l inquired OF
a young man that / met on the street
where the free reading room and library
was. He seemed to be puzzled TO know
what meant, and after moments hes
itatIon asked me what that was. l was
astonishcd at one who said that he was
brought up in the city and did not know
what an institution of that kind was He
was ignorant, and l was furthermore
surprised On learning that there was
none in the city. There Is no city with
the number of inhabitants that Emporia
has but what should have a free reading
room and library There is nothing
Emporia stands more In need of than
an enterprise of that kind. The city
should at once set to fitting up room
for that purpose, and make choice Sc
lection of several volumes of books,
magazines, and newspapers and periodi-
Gals of different kinds, both for the
young and middle aged Good religious
reading should be placed at the dispo
sal of all who wish to avail themselves
of reading. The necessary officers
should be appointed to conduct it and
it should DC kept open from a M till
p. IN. except Sunday, and between
church services on Sunday so as to give
strangers an opportunity that are stop
ping over Sunday. By all means let
such an enterprise be started, Although
not resident Of the city at present l
will contribute to the extent of my atili-
ty TO start and maintain such an in
stitution. Who will second the
motion. You, editors of THE NEWS,
should continue to use your influence,
and not let the matter rest until the
work is done. Hoping that some one
may speak good word in favor of such
Il move 1 will close.

lions, consequently became very absent
minded at times. Not knowing how &c
proceed alter he got his face washed and
head combed, the gentlemen took him
up stairs, and when he appeared again
he was dressed in the shiny rig Of fen
years ago.
Dinner was served by the "wide
awakes' a. 2 O'Clock, after which VIC
had music on the new Esty organ by Mis-
Tina Vickers, of Michigan. Then came

A Treat in store.

We are glad to announce that General
David Ii. Bailey. who has been stopping
in this city for several days, on a tour of
inspection and to visit old acquaint-
ances and make new ones, has decided
to give our people his lecture on China.
Mr.. Baily commenced his career in
Leavenworth, Kansas, where he was a
prominent lawyer. q member of the ter
ritorial legislature, and editor Of the
Leavenworth Times He was appoint
ed consCl- general at Hong Kong, China.
in 1870, and served his country there
and al Shanghai for ten years. He is a
gentleman of education, is graphic
writer, good speaker, and
his long residence in China
has enabled him 10 prepare q
lecture on that interesting country and
its people which we venture has
never been surpassed, if equaled. by any
American who has ever undertaken the
task in the amount of correct informa-
ton it gives of the subjects handled.
By the advice OF friends he has fixed
the price of admission to the hall 3. the
very low price of % cents, in order thai
all our people may embrace the oppOr
tunity to learn more of China than they
can by perusing dozen books on tht
country. We hope he will be greeted
Thursday night by full house.
