ItsCondition and Noe ds.

The University Library now contains 10, 500
volumes, without counting duplicates. The
whole number of volumes received this year
is 5G; of which 43l were placed upon the
shelves, the remaining 1G being duplicates of
government documents Fifty-three volumes
were added 10 the Wheeler collection, Of
which 81 were the gift Of Mrs. NJ. c. Vince.
ler II We include in the count the George
p. Marsh collection OF some 1000 volumes,
the present total is about $4,000. But few
books have been purchased this year go vol.
umes for the Wheeler library and % for the
genera, library. The latter number includes
six indexes, Poolc's being among them, In
the making of this new Indispensable finger
post 10 the scattered but valuable treasures of
periodical literature both the University
library and the Free library of this city, had
each share. One hundred volumes, chiefly
periodicals, have been bound.
Among the donors tho past year, we men.

to catch up IN some sort with both literature

since Prof. Torrey bou GIT the main library
in 1885, 1t ought not to be difficult thing
to raise $1,000 year for library uses among

THE SCULPTOR WARD.
His Personality and His Works.

The home of J.. @. A. Ward, says New
York correspondent, is Il handsome stone
house upon an uptown street on the west
side. It's elegant interior hints at very
practical side of the successful sculptor
and probably no sculptor in this
country has found that his calliuginures
more 10 his pecuniary benefit than Mr.,
Ward. We enter the hall and pass through
to the studio, which occupies the place of the
rear drawing room on the first floor and is
the finest in America. Here, the light which
streams through the broad windows on the
north side, falls upon man whose pcrso nal
appearance Is worth noting Tall, broad
shoudercd, deep chcsled, with square,
leoninc head set upon full columnar throat,
erect, quick and elastic in every movement,
one naturally recalls the old Roman types of
manhood in first seeing Mr.. Wards athletic
| lightly that one hardly realizes that 90 years
have passed since his birth, 80 since he be-
gan to study under II. X. Brown. 1t was
in 1867 that he made his sketch
for the 'Indian Hunter" now in Cen
trail Park, subsequently studying the Indian
on The Western plains. In 1868, an acad-
emician in 1866 he modelled the group
commemorative the discovery of an9sthetics
in Bostons Public Garden in 1867 he be-
gan tue statue of Shakespeare in Central
Park, where stands also his 7th regiment
statue, and in 1874 he was elected president
Of the academy. At Washington his Freed.
man" stands on the steps of the capitol, and
there also are his equestrian statue of Gen.
Thomas, and his statue of Gen. Putnam,
executed for the state OF Massachusetts,
The principal work upon which The
sculptor is now engaged is the colossal
statue of Washington for the New
York sub-treasury. This he hopes
to have In bronze by next November
He has nearly finished in marble what prom.
ises to be very striking and powerful bust

THE PRRsIDENT,s FATHER.
a Burlingtonian's Rcminiscence of
Him.

To the Editor OF the Free Press and Times
Rev. William Arthur, the father of Presi-
dent Arthur, years ago, kept II school on
Main street, just below the Van Ness House.
in the old plasered and gravelled house. l
do not recollect much about him, but one in
cident is pretty well impressed on my men,
Dry. l had done something out of the way,
and he shut me up in garnet of the kitch-
Tn, back Of the school room. l thought
would investigate the place, being of all Gu
quiring turn Of mind SO l crawled along
until came over the kitchen. As there were
cracks IN the floor and plaster, could see
the mother of the future President engaged
in preparing their frugal dinner, and little
baby was PLAYING on the floor, who was prob
ably their first child and daughter. Being
inclined to mischief, began to drop
sticks down through the cracks.
My fun did not last long, for she sent word
up to Mr. Arthur and was called out, when
he seized me in his arms and doused my
head In pail of water that stood on bench,
from which the scholars drank. think
he was very angry as he was high
tempered. When he saw did not mind the
ducking much, he again seized me and rush
ed down stairs without taking his cane for
he was lame and used caue In walking. and
out into the yard and ducked me head and
shoulders In tub OF dirty soap suds. did
not lot him see ,hat minded 1t any more
than did the first plunge.

A YEAR OF DISASTER,

We suspect that if all the accidents and
casualties by field aud flood and fire in the
course OF each year were collected and pub
lished in body the successive years would
show but little difference as to the number
of lives lost ani the amour: Of property de-
stroyed Man was made to mourn AMI his
woes do not come intermittingly in scattered
platoons but with military regularity in
solid battaliols But fortunately our mem.
cries are short. We forget our own indi-
| vidual misfortunes aud cllamities even AS
we forget the little sorrows of our child
hood; aud OF distant vistalions and
accidents we have but short remem-
brauce. So, forgetting the past, 1t seems
in each year rs the telegraph an
| nounces its dreadful news that that
year is year OF disaster pre-eminent above
its predecessors. Perhaps it is for this rca-
son that the six months now past of the
present year seem months of unprecedented
disaster but the long list of caamites
which they present appears to furnish some
justification for the belief. Some one has
collected sach list and it is certainly very
dreadful one The year was ushercd in by
the grca, floods upon tn. Danube, Rhine
and other rivers which swept away hundreds
OF people aud brought famine and pestilence
among the survivors. When the year was
but little over a week old occurred the dread
full Milwaukee hotel holocaust aud on the
2ad of January came the memorable disaster
in which as u result Of collision with the
Sultan, the steamer Cimbra, an cmigrant
vessel, sank with seveu-eighths of those on
board the victims reaching the appalling
number of 457 On the same day and for
several days after came reports of other mi
nor disasters at sea, Involving in each case
| considerable sacrifice of human life. Eaily
in February terrible foods began in this
country, causing losses Of millions of dol
lars; and accompanying these details
OF direct losses by the action OF the
waters were accounts of frequent railway
| disasters resulting from injuries to banks
and bridges. While the elements were thus
devastating the laud, wind aud wave had
combined against those who go down to the
sea in ships. Close on the heels of the story
OF these disasters came the report that in the
Diamond coal mines in Illinois seventy min-
ers had lost their lives. The terrible school
accident in New York, In which sixteen little
girls fell victims to panic In an ll-conslruct,
ed building used as a school. next claimed
attention. Next was reported ,he loss with

Al this time, when the refusal of the gov.
erning board of Harvard College to give
Gov. Butler the honorary degree Of Doctor
Of Laws has atttaete,! general attention to
tn general subject Of suck degrees, it may
be Of inter, st t, briefly review the course of
on? own University in this respect.
The University graduated its first class in
1904 and bestowed its first honorary degree
