Library Management.

President Gilman, of Johns Hopkins
University, speaking at the opening of the
library given by Henry w. Sage to Cor
nell University, said:
All books are not of equal value, and
the same book varies in value, not only at
dlnerent times, but also in different
places. II has, If / may say so, not only
historical but geographical importance.
That which is precious to-day was at one
time valueless, or il would not have disap-
peared like the fragments of the Antiope
of Euripides, lately found by Mr.. Petrie In
n mass or waste paper. That which is of
slight value to-day may become so rare as
TO he priceless four centuries hence, as are
now the original printed letters of Colum-
bus. Books that a single writer may wish
to consult but once in a lifetime, though
as worthless as brown paper to all hut
him, may be to him inestimable. Books
that have slumbered for many decades
suddenly wake from their lethargy and be-
come living, perhaps at the touch of
discerning critic who calls them from the
tombs, or perhaps mt the occurrence of
some unexpected event which excites the
public curiosity, as the Partisan Leader
was revivified in the beginning of the civil
war The technical treatises. the nuggets
of Americana, the first editions of famous
authors, the dissertations of doctors of
philosophy have their value when i'm place.

What, then, can keep the shelves from

tion, convenient storage frequent re-

NEWPORT REJ0ICES

RAH THE PROVIDENCE NEWS"
President Cailaghan and the Young Mems
Republican Club spend an Evening In
Jubilation-They win Carry the Ban
ner in the 1892 Campaign.

Rah Rah = Rah ~" Such was the
salutation that greeted President Callag-
han last night as he entered the rooms of
the Young Mems Republican Club of
Newport with smile all over his face.
Mr.. Callaghan replied: "Well, boys, we
have met the -, well, no, not the en-
emy. Well, we've met 'em and the ban
ner is ours"
This was met with a ringing cheer,
thrice repeated for the Providence Even
ing NEWS, and tiger, and the Newport
correspondent of that paper who had been
invited To attend, modestly craved mercy
when called upon to respond. 1t was a
lively night, but nothing compared TO
what Will happen when the banner is pre-
sented Already there are number OF
pledges, exceeding fifty, TO journey 10 the
sister capital 10 do honor 10 the NEWS,
whose generosity and enterprise is every
day more and more appreciated
The old Republicans became boys again
last night when the NEWS arrived, con
tanning tidings Of a Newport victory.
Representative Pinard, the Hon. Robert

THE GRAVES CASE.
Or. Graves's Attorneys Opinion Of
the Prosecution.
ANXIOUS FOR THE TRIAL
Col. Daniel X. Ballou Tells n " News" Re
porter of the significance of District
Attorney stevens Visit Here at This
Late Day.

A NEWS reporter to-day called on Col
Daniel X. Ballou, counsel for DIR. Graves
in his coming trial for the murder of Mrs
Josephine A, Barnaby, and asked what
statement he had to make in regard TO the
trial. He said:
have read the reported interview with
Mr.. Conrad, Mr. Barnaby's son-in-law.
and District Attorney Stevens. held in
Boston yesterday. / am professionally of
the opinion that the statements therein
contained point unerringly TO the fact
OF a weak case against DIR. Graves
1t is now the 18th of November, the case
is down for trial for the 24th. That
Messrs Conrad and Stevens in so import
ant case as this one is, are about i'm the
East hunting for testimony, indicates that
they are pressed for necessary evidence.
But the tenor of the interview shows
that they are endeavoring TO excite public
sentiment against DR.. Graves to bolster
up lost cause. DR. Graves and his coun-
sci are anxious for trial Of the case.

AN OLD CLAIM RECALLED.
Mr.. Halstead Wants George f.
Beane to Paw Him $400.

Senator George +. A. Beane of Johnston
was the defendant in peculiar case in
the Supreme Court before Judge Tilling-
hast to-day. The plaintiff is Charles Hal
stead of Webster, Mass.
Twenty years ago. SO the testimony
showed, the plaintiff, Mr.. Halstead, opened
grocery store in Webster and hired the
now Senator Beane as a salesman TO 20
down through Connecticut with goods.
The plaintiff claimed that out of the busi-
ness relations there was SlOi due him from
Mr.. Beane.
When he learned that his former sales.
man was "A candidate for State Senator for
the town of Johnston Mr.. Halstead hunted
Mr.. Beane up and made u demand for a
settlement of the old debt of twenty years
standing, which, with interest, amounted
to S400 Mr.. Halstead said he offered TO
settle for 500.
Mr. Beane says that he told Mr.. Halls
tead that he would give him $500 if he
would present his bill and prove that
he owed him that amount

Senator.

LOOKING FOR WITNESSES.
district Attorney Stevens and Mr.,
Conrad in Town.

When the 1922 o'clock train rolled into
the station this morning District Attorney
Stevens and j. II. Conrad got Off, and
ten minutes later the Narraganset
Hotel register bore their signatures
The two gentlemen in question came
here in the interests of that now famous
Barnaby case. District Attorney Stevens
greeted the News man cordially and i'm
answer to the question as to what attract
ed him and Mr.. Conrad TO Providence.
said I'VE are here in the interests Of the
Parnaby case, as of course you know.
There is absolutely nothing new in the
clse which was not published
months ago. The object of our
present visit is 10 get witnesses. There
are many whom we might take but we
value to us as it will be very expensive
to take them out TO Denver. We shall get
away from here as soon as possible, proba-
bly, by tonight. We go from here to New
York, where we shall meet other parties
interested in the case and from there we
go straight home 10 Denver. The trial of
DR.. Greaves will be on the 25th, week
from next Tuesday,
District Attorney Stevens talked very
confidently OF the case. He is certain
that the prosecution has evidence enough
on which Co convict DIR. Graves of the
crime for which he has been indicted
There will undoubtedly be several sensa-
tons in the course of the trial as the
prosecution promises 20 introduce an
abundance of new featurns and evidence
about which the public knows nothing
and will not until the facts are brought
out on the witness stand.
Another thing which has been kept
quiet until to-day, is the fact that lawyer
Daniel X. Ballou of this city, will defend
Dr. Graves in the coming trial. 1t will be
remembered that lawyer Ballou broke
away from DIR. Graves when the latter
filed the so-called "second will" Of Mrs
Barnabv
