The public must not be led into the idea
that since the late Hon. VIM. Reddick left the
bulk of his fortune to endow public library
The Reddick library will not be available for
some time to come-a year or more,-and
meantime the library now in use wants the
cordial support of the people. And it needs
funds. Therefore the support Of the Dickens
entertainment Of next week should be liberal
and spontaneous. For in addition to the H.
brary the proceeds will assist worthy young
person to an education, which without these
funds it may never receive.

Last night the Streator Base Ball organza.
ton held n meeting for the election of officers
and for the purpose Of putting nine in the
felu for the season. LaSalle and Peru will
have clubs, and as yet there seems to be no in
dication that Ottawa will make any effort to
secure a strong amateur club. StreatOr has
wisely resolved to re organize the Reds and
keep its players at home in preference to let
ting them 20 AFRO d. If club were organized
here, some of the players, who, as it now
seems, will be compelled to seek other fields,
could be induced to remain, and strong nine
organized. With Ottawa, Streator, LaSalIc
and Peru in the association there would be no
necessity Of piling up travelling expenses to
visit other cities to get games, and there can
belno doubt that if the home club were wisely
and economically managed 1t could be made
A paying investment. THIS city is certainly
large enough, and there are plenty Of people
here sufficiently interested in the game to en-
courage and support club. Ottawa has
enough base ball talent to make up nine
that can down Strcator, and there should be
some one to lead in the matter. Who will
volunteer to re-organize the old Mascottes?

A representative of the FREE TRADER was
recently shown II preparation by Oliver Cor
nell, the accountant, which will doubtless
take the place of all ink erascrs yet known.
This fluid eraser, as it is called, is combina.

erase ink from paper, leaving it in good
condition to be written upon again. Twill
also remove stains from silks or laccs without
iniuring the fabric. This preparation is of
great value TO boOkkecpcrs and officials, as
writing can be rapidly erased, requiring only
two applications Of the fluid, when 1t totally

show the method OF it's application to any
one who may call at his office in the Opera
