EWING AND WHITE
The Judges Who Will Probably Determine
the License Question.

the License Question.
The License Court question is still an absorb
ing topic, and the saloon keepers who were last
year rejected by Judge White are fervently
praying that he will not have the dispensation
of the licenses this year. 1t is now, however,
very definitely settled that Judge Ewing will
preside at this session. B. c. Christy, Esq, who
last year appeared in behalf of the w. c. T. U.
before the License Court. said last evening
that he thought Judge White would be the as
sociate of Judge Ewing on the license bench
this year, on account of his experience in the
matter and knowledge OF the applicants
As Judge Ewing has definitely informed
Chief Brown, of the Department of Public
Safety, that it is his duty to produce the re-
cords Of Objectionable applicants, it is more
than likely some voluminous documents will be
submitted to the court, and although the police
officials state that there would be no prohibit
tory districts mapped out as was the case last
year, there will be several licensees dropped
from the list. When Mr.. Christy was asked If
he thought tho number of licenses this year
would exceed those of last year, be said he
doubted it very much. On the contrary, the
expectations among saloon men is that there
Will be large increase.

Mr.. Carnegie's Plans for Pittsburg's
Library to be Ready Monday.
A MONUMENT TO his BENEVOLENCE,
The Outlines Of Which Will be Presented to
Councils Next Week.
ORGANlsTS FOB THE OTHER OPENING

It can at last be truthfully stated that
practical measures are being formulated,
looking toward the long-promised library
offered Pittsburg couple of years since by
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie. A formal confer
ence was held yesterday between Councils
committee and Mr.. Carnegie which resulted
in promise on the part of that gentleman
to perfect his plans so that the City Coun-
ellis can take immediate action.
A quiet little party held meeting in an
Office on Fifth avenue yesterday afternoon.
1t was composed Of the following gentlemen:
Messrs. Carnegie, Lambie. Carnahan, Keat-
ing, Bighsm and Shannon, the last five COM
posing the Library Committee OF Pittsburg
Councils
A LIBRARY AT LAST.
No others were present, and no record
was kept of the proceedings, but R. B. Car
nahan was called upon at his residence, on
Collins avenue, East End, last evening, and the
following in reference to it was elected:
"NO formal action was taken" said Mr. Car
nahan. 1--WE met by mutual agreement, to talk
over the matter and receive the different views
of those present Messrs. Lambie. Heating
and expressed our opinions to Mr.. Carnegie
as to what Pittsburg required in the way of an
institution of the kind. and Mr.. Carnegie men,
toned some ideas of his own in return. At the
conclusion of the talk-which took up. possibly
an hour and a half-Mr. Carnegie stated
that he would Immediately go to work
on the plans he had in view, mature them, so to
speak. and present them to this committee on
Monday next. The members of that committee
then propose to take the matter actively in
hand, bring it up at the next meeting of Coun-
ellis, and l can promise that we will do every
thing In our power to put the library matter,
which has been hanging fire SO long, in work.
ing shape rs speedily as practicable.
NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT.
Further than that nothing was done. You
can say, however, that Pittsburg is going to
have library and grand one, too. At least
that is my opinion, from what Mr.. Carnegie
had to say concerning it. True, there is no one
who knows what the gentleman's plans really
are. unless it be some very intimate friend or
relative, but gathered enough to know that
he proposed to give us a library. and it will be
even better than the one first proposed. That
was all that was done or said, and anyone who
says there was more is telling falsehood."
