In the place of such weaklings we could

SCHOOL LIBRARIES
Superintendcnts have referred to the i'm
portancc Of establishing public libraries.
Even greater y the Importance of school
libraries. Indeed, the main reason why
many people are not more interested in
public libraries, is because their primary
education neglected to give them Il fond
ness for good and wholesome books. Their
literary palates are now satisfied with the
"mince pie literature Of the daily news
and sensational weekly. Ithas always been
a matter of wonder to me, this apathy, even
of teachers, about literary culture. Surely,
if it is necessary to teach the child ho'r to
read, it is not unimportant to teach it ,chat
to read. It is but repeating one Of tho com
monplaccs to say that knowledge is useful
only when rightly used. Our schools owe
it to tho future life of the child to SO cult
vatc his taste for good books that after
leaving school he will not undo the work of
the school BY dissipating his mental cner-
gies over the trashy and sensational litera-
turc Of the family (D story paper. Our
schools have always been neglectful in this
matter, and we see the evil results all around
u.s. If one wishes to remark the lack Of
literary culture even among those who make
some pretensions to education, he need only
examine our Sunday School libraries, where
ut least we have right to expect that some
literary Judgment be exercised in selecting
books for the young It is only a few year.

 The annual meeting of the corporation of the Bridgeport hospital was held in the Mayors office at Bridgeport Thursday after noon. Jarratt Morford, in the absence of P. T. Barnum, occupied the chair, and Dr. G. F. Lewis was secretary pro tenn. Dr. Bun nell the regular secretary having removed to Portland, Ore.

 can Scandal.
 BOSTON, Dec. 3.-A special to the Herald from Mexico says: "A number of inquiries have been received here within the past few days regarding the alleged scandalous con- duct of the American minister. There has been much exaggeration in the matter. Judge Manning since his arrival here has been ill and complained early on taking his room at the hotel of chills and nervous trouble, frequent among new corners on ac- count of the rarity of the atmosphere. The story that he became intoxicated at the din ner given him by private gentlemen is un- true. There were present at the dinner one resident director of the Central railroad and the manager of another railway, and Judge Manning after dinner went to his hotel, bathed and then went to the legation, where he worked for several hours After that date he continued to be troubled with chills and took the usual remedies Later on he was attacked with symp oms of pneumonia and the physician was summoned. There can be no doubt that since his arrival Judge Manning has been indisposed, as your core spondent has seen. The foundation for the story seems to be that the judge to get rid of malarial chills took liquor with quinine and neglected to call a doctor, while all the time his sickness was gaining on him. Evi- dently there are political motives behind the attack, as MT. Bayard has some strong ene- mics here. In the same way the Sedgwick sea dal was handled for political capital against the present administration"

Though France has fewer inhabitants than Germany her army has higher peace and war footing Shall we allow ourselves to be outstripped by neighboring State in which we cannot perceive that degree of reticence from warlike preparation or that peaceful disposition necessary to enable to live in peace indefnitelys The bill must pass be- fore Christmas if the purpose of the govern ment is to be attained.

Chinese sneakIng over the Border.

OTTAWA, Dec 3.-Advices from British Columbia report that the influx of Chinese from British Columbia into Washington Ter ritory is increasing, much to the annoyance of the settlers south of the boundary. Last week large number crossed over without any resistance being made by the authorities and customs officers of the United States. They, as rule, go down the New Westmin- ster road and cross over near Blaine, at which point there is no customs officer nearer than thirty miles. It is customary for them to carry with them when leaving British Colum- bia large packages which they allege contain their effects only, but which, it is stated, very frequently contain opium and other ar ticles which they smuggle into the United States in this way as well as themselves.

 audience at Carll's Opera House last evening. His lecture on the incidents of his journey across Africa is full of graphic descriptions of the dark continent and of his hairbreadth escapes from it's inhabitants, interspersed with many amusing episodes in his travels. For nearly two hours he held the closest at tention of his audience and he was often in terrupted with applause as he related in modest, straightforward, yet fascinating the story of his efforts to explore the valley of the Congo and to bring it with in reach of the civilized world. The found CT of the free State of Congo is as interesting as speaker as he is brave, patient and in- telligent as an explorer, and we predict for him on his interesting lecture tour crowded houses everywhere
