Opening of the Ottendorfer Branch
of the Free Public Library.

N. Y. Herald Dec. Z.
At No. 135 Second avenue, neal
Eighth street, is an attractive
appearing building of brick
with terra Gotta decorations.
Suspended on Its outer walls yesterday
were German and American Flags, and
in the afternoon quite a number of the
distinguished residents of the neighbor'
hood thronged its interior.
The occasion was the opening of the
Ottendorfer branch of the New York
Free Circulating library. The building,
with the books and all the necessary APP
purtenances for library work, Is the gift
of Mr.. Ottendorfer, the proprietor and
editor of the Staats-I situng.
In the reading room the visitors-who
had for an hour previously wandered
around inspecting the bookshelves and
their contents-assembled about half past
three o'clock. Mr.. Henry E, Pellew, the
president of the board of trustees, occu.
pied the chair. The proceedings were
opened by the German L~iederkranz quar-.
tet singing "The Chapel" Mr.. Often
dorfer followed In a short address and
formally presented the building and its
contents to the New York Free Circulat.
ing library. In the course of his remarks
he referred to the origin of a free library
in that neighborhood. He said that a
few ladies connected with Grace church
had In their mission work found a great
desire on the part of the children of the
district for books to read. The ladies
went among their friends, and begged
sufficient books to form the nucleus of q
library. Out of that apparently humble
effort had grown the present require
ments, and the need that there was for
supplying the demand. Healso explained
that the ground on which the building
stood was q portion of the land purchased
by the late Mrs. Ottendorfer for a Ger
man ~dispensary for the neighborhood. II
was found that 1t was not necessary to
appropriate all the land for that purpose,
and he had concluded that it could
not be put to better use than that of o
building for a free library.
Mr. Pellew accepted the gift OF
the part of the trustees, and In tbs
course of his speech commented upon th'
great want in New York Of a large free
public library similar to that in Boston.
that while the city possessed free libra
ries, where works of great value to thu
student and ~li'e-ary man could be re
ferred to, still there was 10 library of
free and public character at which tn
mass of the people could have their liter
airy wants supplied,
Mr.. Carl Schurz delivered an address
on the advantages of the public library
de was followed by Asissent Bishop Pot
ter. who briefly expressed his g~ratiica
ton at the appearance OF what he ha
heard described as an ''oifspring" of tn
church and parish with which he wa
once connected.
Singing by the quartet brought tn
very interesting proceedings to a close.

To the Editor BEE.
In a late issue of your paper l was
somewhat astonished to read a clipping
from the st. Louis Globe Democrat,
stating that, "a. d. Hurley" meaning
myself, had eloped with a certain Miss
Moody, and left my wife at Hamburg in
8 destitute condition, 1t is needless to
~particularize in reference to the several
allegations but will simply say hat they
are unqualifedly false, except as to my
being at Hamburg Friday and going

ones family troubles before the world,
and | would scorn to do 80 now were it

his neighbors fitted him out with on the

In regard to my Burlington trip
l will say that | never was in that city
but once In my life, and then In company
with my wife; and as to Miss Moody, |
have not seen her for at least five
months, nor do l know of her present
whereabo uts. The article in THE BEE
stated that l had left my wife penniless.
This is untrue. She is in possession of
one house in Hamburg, which ia we'll
provided for, and receives sufficient rent
from other property to furnish her a
good living; in fact, has more property in
her possession han d. S. Taylor ever
had, or ever will have, from the fact that
