which came from several wcllknown gentlemen in
iudng Junus Morgan, the London banker is in dan
ger Of lapsng because of the inacton Of the citizens
in accepting the conditions. These were in sub
stance that the should be increased by local
subscriptions TO 100000. The committee having the
natter In charge has not taken the public into its con
fdencs so that the exact state of the fund is not
Known II is certain, however. that Mr. Morgan will
not hold the offer open much longer, as it has now
been pending since June, 1883. Unless something
shall be done very the opportunity will slip by
and there will be no library.

statement has aroused the feeling Of the people to
great extent and there is loud call for more efficient
enforcement o. the law against drunkenness and also
