Hab,tue. Of the publ,o I,,br.rv.

1t is curious to watch the frequenters of
the reference department of the public
library. A great part of them is made up
of searchers in the various patent Office
reports They are provided with liberal
quantity of tracing-paper and an assert
ment of sharp pencils. These men are In
ventors in search of original ideas in me-
chanics, just as those other men at that
table are authors hunting for original
thoughts in the tones of ancient writer's
The patent Office reports and the British
patents are continually laid under contri-
button by these inventors, and the results
of their investigations will be seen in fu-
ture patent office reports At these tables,
too, can be seen bevies Of interesting girls
pursuing under the direction of schol-
astic dame researches into art. Isolated
figures here and there can be seen making
copious quotations from dusty volumes.
Some of these people are daily habitues
of the library year in and year out. What
most of them do with their notes no one is
able to find out, and few Of the attendants
ever discover what the notes are. Some
time, however, a compiler's ear-marks can
be traced through all his authorities
When a certain college professor was en-
gagged in compiling his works an attendant
kept "tab" on him, and discovered the
source of nearly every chapter in his books.
He was able to outline the professors
forthcoming work every time. The greater
parts of late book of European travel
published by local firm was prepared in
this room, after the trip was made, with
the aid Of various guide books and maps

DAILY HONOLULU PRESS possesses
unequaled advantages, having retained all the
subscribers to the late Saturday Press, in
addition to new subscription list, which is
daily increasing, SO that the paper is not only
enjoying large circulation in this city and
vicinity, but is also mailed by every steamer to
subscribers at almost every landing on the
other Islands, and also to foreign countries,
thus combining the advantages Of both daily
md weekly editions. The coming month,
especially, our paper will have much large
circulation than all the other daily papers
combined, as we intend sending specimen
copies to every resident on these Islands
who reads English.

THE CANNON WENT OFF,

But Being Too Heavily Loaded, Was Dam
aged by the Concussfon--The Mormon
Apostles Futile Attempt to Escape From
the Onicers After Giving His Parole.
SALT LAKE, Utah, Feb. 17.-Ex-Dete-
gate George Q. Cannon, the Mormon
leader whe was arrested in Nevada on
Saturday, and was being brought to this
city by United States Marshal Ireland
and three deputies for prosecution under
the Edmund's law, jumped srom the
overland train near Promontory, Utah,
yesterday morning in an attempt to es-
cape, and was severely BRUISED. Cannon
had given the officers his word of honor
not to make any effort to get away,
and although pretty close watch was
kept on him, he was not treated
as prisoner. Early yesterday
morning when the train was running at .
high rate of speed he passed through the
sleeping-car, where he was riding with
the officers, into the closet, and thence to
the platform, where he sprang from the
train. His escape was discovered in
few minutes, and the .rain was stopped.
The officers went back and found Cannon
sitting beside the track, bruised and too
much injured to walk. He was taken to
Promontory, where his injuries, which
are not dangerous. were attended to.
At Ogden where the prisoner was to
have been transferred to Salt Lake
train, great crowd of Mormons gather
ed with the hope of catching glimpse OF
their leader. When the news of Cannon's
desperate effort to escape arrived there
was great excitement. Women ran up
and down the streets crying and wringing
their hands out of sympathy for Cannon.
The federal authorities did not think it
wise to bring Cannon to Salt Lake on
regular train, and yesterday evening sent
special carrying twenty-six soldiers and
more deputy marshals to escort him from
Ogden to this city. Cannon's arrest is
looked upon by the Mormons as one OF
the most serious blows yet dealt them,
and conversely by the Gentiles as most
effective stroke in support of the fed.
erai laws. His desperation Is pretty
clearly shown by his daring effort to es-
cape from his. captors.

DASHED To DEATH.

The Terrible Fate of the Wife OF Prof. Leon
ard Waldo, of the Yale Observatory--She
Escapes from Her Nurses While Tempo
rariIy Insane, and Is Dashed to Death on
the Rocks.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 20.-The
wife of Prof. Leonard Waldo, of the Yale
Observatory, while laboring under q 1t
of temporary insanity yesterday morning,
escaped from her nurses and left her
home on Prospect street. For long
time Mrs. Waldo had suffered intensely
from various troubles, and Thursday
night she passed without sleep until four
O'Clock in the morning. She was first
missed about seven. O'Clock. A hasty
search revealed the fact that the lady had
scantily attired herself in a wrapper, and
with nothing but a pair of slippers on her
feet had left the house.
Prof. Waldo was informed and with
his servants searched the observatory
grounds. BY three O'Clock yesterday
afternoon nearly six hundred students
and at least two hundred citizens were
searching for the lady In al directions.
About four O'Clock one. of the searching
parties got clue to Mrs. Waldo's where
abouts and finally found her at Pine
Rock, a few miles from the Waldo resi-
1ence. As the party approached Mrs.
Waldo was trying to ascend the face of
the rock, which is nearly perpendicular.
They called to her to hold unit they
could come to her assistance. At that
moment she was seen to slip from the
rock and fall headlong down the precipice,
striking among the rocks at the feet of
her friends. She lived but a few min
utes after being picked mp. Mrs. Waldo
was thirty-five years of age, and leaves
two young children. 1t is thought that
her insanity dates from the birth of her
last child, three months ago. She was a
native of Philadelphia, and niece of
Judge Fullerton, of New York. This
accident recalls the attempted suicide of
Mrs. Waldo's sister Mt Double Beach in
July last.
