What to Read.


Every intiIlegent p!rson desires to read
something more than the news q the day.
What to read, Is the question. 1t ID not
possible Tor every man TO read everything,
There are so many good things in the great
store house Of literature, and Of making Of
books there Is no end. TO what books
should the preference be given, and which
should DO made neutrality-suspicious.
circumstances will mark out special
lines Of reading, and persons Of cultivated,
mature mindH will not need the assistance
OF friendly suggestion. Youug people,
who desire to divert and improve their
minds have much to gain by starting
right. 1t 10 something for them to know
tlat the best entertainment Is TO bo found
ia the books which have tho preferred
pace in the libraries OF the best'read,
most thoughtful men and women.
The ditcustion prompted by the Pal

column, brings out prominently this fact,

sire to add something that would give an
American flavor to his library, and there
ought TO be room for Charles Lamb, Dean
Swift, Sidney Smith, Keats and Shelley.
Books are so cheap in these days that
scarcely any one who has employment

Mr.. Eustace Gibson tells the lSlEILl'
GENcRR's Washington correspondent that
he takes the middle ground on the tariff
question. There isn't any middle ground
ON the tariff question, The conflict Is be-
tween american industry and foreign
industry. Those who are not for AmeT''
can industry are against It,
Those who believe that this Nation can
protect ltsell from invasion by foreign
manufacturers as well as HON invasion by
armed foreign forces, and that the one is
as necessary M the other, do not talk
about middle ground, They do not
split hairs over fraction Of ono percent.
They do not wish 10 cut down the t"riti
lust low enough to enable them to DOW
not AID cold, while The flood OF loregn
manufactures Pou's in TO gladden. the
hearts o! American iree-tTadeIsand British
political economists. .
Whsa Mr.. Gibson says he IAvors tam
for revenue, he may rs well stop night
there. Thers Is no need TO add any Of tho
conventional glbberish about doing harm
to no American industry. A tariff for
rrpcne is not tat,iy .Jor protection. A
tariff i1r revenue was the pet idea Of
Robert j. Walker, vino had his idea eur

LOCATION CHOSEN.

The Old Tradesmenss Savings Bank,
 On Chapel street, to be Turned Into
 a Free Public Library.
 A meeting of the board of directors of the free public library was held in the Mayors office last evening. at which it was decided to accept the generous offer of MT. G. St. John Sheffield, and lease for about ten years the entire upper floor of the Tradesmen's bank building on Chapel street for the li- brary. This floor was formerly occupied by the Canal railroad company for it's offices, and has dome rooted room 45x5O feet, and two offices about 40x25 feet on each side of the staircase. The place is now occupied by the Newhall billiard parlors, but the lib rary committee will take possession on January 1, and expect to have the library open February 1. The main room, which is excellently lighted by the dome and several rear and side. windows, will be used as the reading room. One of the other rooms will be used as library, and the other by the librarian and other officers. There are also two large iron vaults, books, and the entire building is said to be ireproof. The expenses the first year for fitting up the building, rent and other expenses will be about $7, 800, and the bal ance of the appropriation will be spent for books. The library VIII coRIaln all the ieao- ing papers and periodicals of the day, and it is expected at the end of the first year to have six thousand books in the library, which will probably be kept open week days from 9 a. m. to 10 P. m. and on Sundays from p. m to p. m. for those who cannot come other days. Among the other buildings looked at by the committee were the Insur- ance and the Lefingwell, also buildings on State street, Mendel & Freedman's, Register building and others, but none were found except this which did not have objectional features The reason the old State House was not chosen was because the committee did not know but what if they went there this year it might be torn down next, but they are not bound 80 they cannot remove there if necessary. The committee will soon hold another meeting to decide further about the matter.

BOARD OF sELEoTmEN.

The Midd1etown Avenue Roadway
 The Ice HOuses-A Nuisance in West-
 ville-The AImsh OuSe-The Force Re-
 duced-Other Business.
 At the regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen held last evening Selectman Treat presided, and all the members of the Board were present excepting Selectmen Tyler and Brown.
 On the recommendation of Town Agent Reynolds the Board voted to build tool house and forge at the quarry where the men were getting out stone.
 Mir. Lewis Hemingway appeared before the Board and said that the road in Middletown avenue, across the meadows, was in a very bad condition, and that it should either be closed up or fixed, as it was regular pond of ice most of the winter. He stated that it was also very dangerous to drive across, as every high tide flooded it. The matter was tabled, but the street, as it cannot be raised this year, will probably be closed to travel. The Board voted to fill the ice houses on the farm instead of renting them, as they co1ld benefit the town more by so doing. Sylvanus Butler appeared and once more displayed his plans for the layout of roads on the new town farm.
 Bills were approved as follows: Outside poor, $424 50; almshouse, $85.15; new farm, $138 OO; roads and bridges, 219.25; con struction, $46 50; general, $77.63; insane, $30. .45; salary, $52S. 84; election, $5.
 A communication was received from c. Il. Webb stating that some old wagons near John street, Westville, were standing in the roadway and liable to frighten horses; if they did the town would be liable to pay damages. Selectman Beecher stated that they were the goods of John Smith, junk dealer, which were put in the street by sheriff Thanks giving day and had remained there ever since At this juncture MT. Beecher read the law on the subject from the general statutes of Connecticut, which states that person who places goods on the street shall be held liable for creating a nuisance and can be fined $50. The matter was referred to MT. Beecher with power to act.
 Selectman Treat said that at the beginning of the year it was understood that at the end of the year some of the salaries of the town help should be cut off and I now think we should take some action on the matter. refer to Mir. Clerkin and think that he can be dispensed with without injury to the work ing of the town.
 Selectman Beecher thought so too and recommended that MT. Clerkin be resigned on Friday night
 when MT. Reynolds stated that it was the busy season just now and MT. Clerkin could not be spared, or at least MT. Sanford should be consulted about it first.
 Selectman Klenke said that MT. Sanford was not always around the almshouse and that someone should be there all the time and thought MT. Clerkin should be retained.
 A vote was taken on Selectman Beecher's motion which stood as follows: For dispens- ing with MT. Clerkin, Selectmen Treat, Beecher and Feldman; for retaining him, Se- lectmen Reynolds and Klenke.
