Nelson, of Philadelphia, s. z. Sharp,
of Mcpherson, Kas., and DR.. ]. s.
Craig, Noblesville, Ind, responded
in spirited letters, all telling in
beautiful words the lif e, character
of the sainted dead.
Rev. E. A. Gilmore was called, re.
sponded in Greeting in behalf of
the Alumni.
During the exercises the Rev.
Alexander N. Carson, of Piqua,
Ohio, who was with us last spring,
and who won the esteem of faculty,
students and citizens, had stepped
into the room and occupied a va
cant chair near the door. The
chairman spied him and he was in
troduced to the audience. He
made good talk of about five min
utes.
After an Alumni song by five
voices, the audience repaired to the
library building in this order:
Trustees, alumni, orators, students,
and citizens.
The chairman of the Building
Committee made a written report
to the Board of Directors. Follow.
ing is the report:
Report Of the Library Committee.
The Library Committee to whom
the erection of this building was
intrusted, take pleasure in making
the following statement and report
For a long time the need of q
better library has been keenly fell
by both the faculty and the students
Of the College. TIE old Seminary
library in ante-bellum times was
one of the largest and best in the
State. The civil war scattered it te
the four winds. After the war
Prot. Lamar collected as many OF
the old library books as he could
find in the hands of his friends
These understandable for theil
age and associations rather than fol
their intrinsic w0rth-fOrm the
nucleus of the present collection o.
books. The library of Rev. Thomp
son Bird came as a legacy to the
college. Large additions were re
ceived from the libraries Of Revs. f
N. Sawtell and Prof. Henry Mills
D. d. Other contributions from
various sources followed, the mos
important being the library of The
late VIM. Aiken, of Knoxville
which was presented to US by hi.
widow.
Three years ago the library wa.
removed from the southern room O
the second floor of Anderson Hall t,
the room just below, where addi
tional and more convenient shelly
ing was put in. The librarian
devoted two months to the thorough
classification of the books. Tit

<Excellent Addresses--A Host Of
Alumni Present--Report Of the
Building Committee.
The occasion for which the friends
of Maryville College have been
waiting for many weeks-the dedi-
cation of the Lamar Memorial Lii
brary-was of great interest. The
program which we printed last
week was carried out, with a few
additions.
At 9:45 this morning the chair.
man of the faculty, Prof. ]. E. Rog-
ers, called the audience which had
assembled in the College Chapel, to
order; and prayer was offered by
Rev. w. G. Broadly, Of New Mar.

\ Music: "God will be with his
People." Quartette.
The Rev. T. T. Alexander, of
Japan, a student Of the College
during the administration of Prof.
Lamar, was introduced and spoke
for forty minutes on the Life and
Work of Prof. Lamar. The speech
was well prepared and set forth the
splendid qualities of the scholar
and the christian. We will pro.
duce the article in full in our next
issue.
Quartette: "The Resurrection"
The chairman introduced Rev. j.
King Gibson, of Ohio, who deliver
ed the dedicatory address. His
theme was, 1.-THE Use of Books"
The production was very fine, had
been prepared after much study
and research. His splendid deliv-
cry added to the interest and for
about forty-five minutes the atten-
ton was remarkab Although
too lengthy for these columns, it
should by all means appear in
print.

the civil service humbug, he passed
to the state and arraigned the adj
ministratiOn in terrible manner
spoke of the prohibition cause, etc,
and closed with an earnest and elo-
quent appeal to the labor element.
He proved beyond doubt that the
republican party is the friend of the
laboring men and always has been.
His tribute to East Tennessee was
very beautiful and brought tears to
the eyes of many.
There is no question but that his
speech made many republican
votes. We saw democrats present
who were inclined to scoff during
the first half hour, but when the
speaker got warmed up and when
eloquence began to flow out as wat
er from a spring, they began to nod
their heads in assent, and before he
had finished they were as wild as
any of the republicans. Such
speeches are needed ottener. With
few more like it Blount County
will astonish the natives in Novem-
Der and cast an almost solid vote
for Harrison and Morton.
I After Mr.. Nelson had finished
Hon. VIM. Rule, of Knoxville, was
introduced and spoke for few min
utes, giving his time nearly entire
ly to the fallacious policies and acts
of Grover Cleveland, Esq. He ar
raigned Cleveland for false pretense
In his administration Of civil service
reform, and spoke Of the rapidly
diminishing surplus, and Of the fa-
tile effort, made three years ago, to
find the retiring federal officials
tangled in financial affairs and per-
petrating fraud upon the unsuspect-
ing citizens. His speech was also
well received.

The students showed their appre-
citation of the improved arrange
ment by availing themselves more
than ever Of the privilege afforded
them. Seven hundred books were
drawn during the ensuing year and
each year the number has rapidly
increased until last year about two
thousands were drawn, and perhaps
an equal number were consulted in
the room.
All this was very gratifying, but
system always reveals imperfec-
lions if there are any. The classif-
cation emphasized the fact that
very few books of reference and Of
recent standard authors were upon
our shelves. This fact was easily
explained, for up to the present
year the college never had any
funds with which to purchase new
books or even any books, and all
we had were gifts from ministers
libraries that had been completed
years ago.
Another fact was forced upon our
attention by the new order of
things, namely that our room was
too small for the library. The
volumes had to be crowded togeth-
er in way that did not tend to
preserve the classification. Besides
all had access to the shelves, and
so the classification was daily inter-
fered with. Moreover the room
was needed for a recitation room.
During the last year he was with
us, Prof. Lamar spoke several
times to the librarian with regard
to the needs and possibilities of the
library, and his plans tor its i'm.
prOvement. Once he said that he
intended to use the first time he
could command,in raising sufficient
endowment to secure an annual
income of $500 for the purchase
of new books Of reference and Of
general literature. But the prufea,

taken from US.
When it was suggested that some
memorial should be erected to the
memory of our departed colleague,
our first thought naturally was:
"Let US have a Lamar Memorial
Library" One of the staunch
friends of the college Immediately
offered $1,000 on condition that
$4,000 more should be collected.
Accordingly an appeal for funds to
erect such a memorial was pub
lished in the page of the catalogue
for 'S6--S7 that chronicled the loss
of Prof. Lamar.
Soon after this time Prof. Gilmore
represented Union Presbytery in
the General Assembly of the Pres.
byterian Church that convened al
Omaha. There he met several
leaders in the church who under.
took to help as in our effort to
secure the memorial building. So
successful were they in their kind
Offices that in October last they
announced to US the happy intelli'
gence that the entire five thousand
dollars had been subscribed by
three old friends of Prof. Lamar
and of the College. The subscrip
tiOns were made in the heartiest
way, and revealed the great hold
Prof. Lamar and Maryville College
had on the subscribers. The donors
recommended that all local contri'
buttons should be directed toward
supplying the library with books.
The Board of Directors o: tn,
College thankfully received thu
gifts, and appointed standing
Library Committee composed O
Major Ben Cunningham and Hon
Will A. McTeer, from the Board
and Professors E. A. Gilmore, G. s
w. Crawford and s. T. Wilson, from
the Faculty. To this committee
they intrusted the erection of tn,
Library, and the collection of fund.-
with which to purchase books
This committee was organized b!
the choice Of Major Ben Cunning

Chairman of the Committee by tn,

LOST IN A SWAMP,
A New Orleans Young Man Comes to a
Terrible Death.

| A New Orleans Young Man Comes to u
Terrible Death.
New Orleans special: Arlstide Barthelmy
anl G. W. Ilisley went hunting last Wednes
day morning in the swamps twenty-five
miles above this city. They wandered of
in the cypress, and, heavy rain coming on
they lost their way. Illsley was taken ill
and Barthelmy sought clearing, but
without success, owing to darkness and
high water. Finally at olcock Saturday
morning he managed to reach the track OF
the Mississippi railroad which he followed
until he reached Sarpy Station, where he
received
DRY CLOTHING AND
nourishmeat. Then he returned to the
city. He notified Illsley's friends and a
searching party was soon made up. They
returned tonight, and reported having
followed Ilsiey's trail to the borders OF a
swift, deep lagoon, where the foot -prin ts
disappeared, and they had no doubt Ills
ley had met his fate by drowning while
wandering about in the dark. This theory
was borne out by the fact that Illsley's dog
was found at this point, still alive but ex-
hansted and unable to walk, and was
brought back in the arms OF the searchers.
During their exploit on the roads the
searchers were frequently in water above
their hips. Illsley was a son of j. H.
Illsley, formerly Associate Justice OF the
Supreme Court OF tine State.
