according to their means-sOme Of

and those who can not raise money
to help the good work by day labor,
In this way several little libraries
have been started In these tow NJ,
which may become the nuclei OF
larger ones. The girls are going still
further, and propose To ask the
legislature 10 contribute 500 as II
starter TO any town which shows II
disposition to begin the equipment
of a library. The move is an excel

PLUCKY MAMIE CONNOLLY.
She Captures Two Burglars In Her
Fathers House.

She Captures Two Burglars la Her !
Fathers House.
LOWELL Mass, October 90
Two burglars attempted to rob the
residence Of John K.Connelly about
2 o'clock yesterday morning. The
first person who discovered the
robbers was Mamie, the eighteen
year-old daughter, who heard
peculiar noise IN the lower part of
the house.
She had retired for the night, but
she Immediately arose and making
her way tito her fathers smoking
room took a revolver from a drawer
and proceeded to the room from
which the noise had come. Here
she saw that the burglars had en-
tered the main body of the house.
Upon following them she found
a hard-looking specimen of man
hood, who later on proved to be
Tobin, notorious Boston crook.
He was just rifing the drawer Of
Mr.. Connolly's desk when Mamie
entered the room and shouted,
81 Either surrender or | will shoot. "
The ruffan sprang upon the girl,
who proved equal to the emergency
and empted two chambers of the
revolver into him, one of-the bullets
striking him Just above the left
lung, bringing him to the ground
At this point his accomplice, who
was on watch outside, entered the
house to assist his fallen pal, but
the plucky girl covered him with
her weapon, and he began begging
for mercy. She forced him to ST
down until the male occupants o
the house had been aroused, wheI
he was handed over to the police
for safe keeping.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 23d.-The cause OF
the delay of the officials at Washington in
selecting site for the San Francisco Post.
office was definitely learned to-day. Yes.
terday the substance of the petition that is
now being circulated was telegraphed to
congressman Morrow, with the request
that he delay the selection of the Postof-
flee site if possible until such time as the
petition could reach him by mail.
The document that has caused the delay
has been freely signed by the banking
houses, merchants and other prominent
members of the commercial community,
and recommends that the site OF the Post
Office be not changed, but that the present
building be demolished and the $500, 600
that has been appropriated for site be
utilized in erecting building as soon as
the ground is cleared.
The claim is made that the commercial
community should be considered in this
matter. TIE business transacted in that
portion of the city is very large, and the
necessity of having the Postoffice in loca-
tlon that is easy of access, is worthy of
some attention. Beside this it is urged that
to move the Postoffice to portion of the
city that might in a certain sense be termed
the residence portion, would be to remove
toogreat distance from the point at which
the mails arrive, and would cause valuable
time to be lost both in the arrival and de-
parture of mails.
The petition is still going the rounds and
is being freely signed, and will be mailed
to Congressman Morrow some time during
the coming week.

thought for years past, and that thought

limited the time to twenty years. but of
course if at the end of that time it is found
that the value of the land has increased the
loan can be renewed for an amount in pro-
portion to the increased value of the prop
erty. believe that if the bill is adopted
with such amendments as shall seem wise
to Congress, it will largely increase the
prosperity of the hum blest classes in their
labor and the wealthier to success in their
enterprises. 1t will place the means neces-

capable hands that know how to use
them, and great results will follow. The

TERRIBLE DEATH.
A Suicide at Sonoma Blows Out His Eyes
and Brains.

Suicide at Sonoma Blows Out His Eyes
and Brains.
SoNoMA, May 23d-About $50 o'clock
this morning, Swiss named Giacomo
Lanini, who had been temporarily en-
ployed by the Donohue Company as a
grader, shot and killed himself with sui
cidal intent, on First street. in the rear of
the residence of ]. P. Weems. The man
had been on spree for two or three days.
This morning be was seen walking down
the street in the direction of the place
where he took his life. He was apparently
sober at the time. On arriving at the spot
he sat down, and placing revolver, which
was of the bulldog pattern, to his right
temple, pulled the trigger and launched
himself into eternity.
The pistol l-ball went clean through his
head from temple to temple, shooting both
eyes out of their sockets.
The ground surrounding the suicide
shows that he had not died instantly, and
in his death throes he had struggled some
four or five feet from the spot where he
had sat down and fired the fatal shot
short time after the shot was fired II.
c. Calderwood passed the spot, and saw the
suicide struggling in the agonies of fear
ful death. He drove rapidly into town and
notified officer Sparks and others, who
upon arriving at the scene, found that the
man had expired. An inquest was held
this afternoon and verdict of suicide was
rendered
