THE NEwBERaY LIBRARY.

tate for the founding of a public library
to be located in the north division OF
Chicago, and more recently Mr.. Crerar
bequeathed a goodly portion OF his
wealth for the establishment of SINH
lar institution in the south division.
The city of Chicago has a public library
second to but few in the country, and it
Is source of great pride to the Ii
brarian and western people in general
that the circulating branch of this mu-
nicipal enterprise enjoys larger popu-
larity than any similar institution in
the United States. The new Chicago
university has, as everybody knows, re-
Gently purchased CHOICE collection of
books, pamphlets and manuscripts in
Berlin; and the Northwestern universe
ty at Evanston, suburb of Chicago,
has for many years been gathering the
nucleus for a college library which, in
time, under the able direction Of some
of the foremost American bibliophiles,
promises to be the rarest and most COM
plete on the continent.
The Newberry library, to which ref
erence has been made, will, when COM
pleted, be the most perfect library build
ing in existence. When Mr.. Newberry
died twenty -four years ago, he provided
for the erection of a suitable building
and the purchase of books but his will
was so worded that the trustees could
not spend any money until after the
death of his widow, which occurred late
in 1885. Since that time some books have
been purchased-S5,0 900 books and $4,000
pamphlets at an estimated expense Of
S242, eoo-but very little has been done to
push the library building to completion.
The newspapers of the city have lately
agitated the matter, and the trustees
appointed under the will have at last
shown a willingness to comply with
the wishes of the public. which, it is
hardly necessary to say, clamors for the
rapid completion of the building.
Work on one of the sections Of
the library is carried on as rapid
ly rs the nature of the massive con-
struction will permit. This section,
which was planned by Henry Ives
Cobb, will, when completed, be four
stories in height with a frontage of 300
feet on Walton place and extend back
on North Clark street and Dearborn
avenue rs feet. The material to be en-
ployed is rough-faced red New Hamp-
shiresgranite. The front of the library
will be severely plain, the only orna-
mental feature being triple-arched
front arch. Above the arches the stone
will be mass of delicate carving.
The interior arrangement will be as
near perfect as possible. The base
ment will be devoted to book-binding,
the machinery, boilers, engine, lumber
rooms and the bedrooms of the janitor
and his assistants. The first floor will
contain an auditorium with seating
capacity Of 600, two large administra-
ton rooms, a museum and offices.
The second and third floors will be
given up to fourteen large reading
rooms and fourteen small studies,
which are to be lighted by large plate
glass windows and will occupy about
81, 900 square feeSof floor space. The

stone, excepting the water table which
will be of granite. The colonnade will
be formed Of Ionic columns, surmounted
by frieze containing the names of the
worlds most famous writers. The floor
of the entrance hall and corridors will
be of marble mosaic. The main stair
cases, the walls of the two entrance
vestibules and Of the corridors leading
from them will be marble. The ceiling
will be light cream-colored terra Gotta,
beautifully decorated. A marble wains-
coting eleven feet six inches in height
will extend around the delivery room.
The walls will correspond with the
ceiling of the entrance vestibules, a low,
elliptical dome serving as a skylight
The main reading-room will have a
marble base, and the wall surfaces.
treated in the form of pilasters, will be
in light terra Gotta with a modelled
frieze and fancy ceiling of terra Gotta.
The main reference room will receive
similar treatment. The so-called
"stsck"-room will be constructed of
white enameled brick with unglazed
tile floor so as to keep the apartment
light and free from dust.
The patent record, public document,
stationery and reading-rooms will be on
the ground floor. The second floor will
contain the offices of the librarian,
secretary, directors and committees and
the registry and cataloguing-rooms.
The basement will contain apartments
for the janitor and the machinery neces-
sary to keep the library supplied with
light and heat.
The committee appointed to award
the prize says of Mr.. Coolidge's plans:
1.-THE building proposed by Mr.. Coolidge
affords the greatest amount of light to
the interior: it is simple and economic
in construction; it is dignified and i'm
posing in style and happily indicates
the character and purposes of the
structure"
Lovers of good books the world over
will congratulate Chicago upon it's
bright prospects and will be pleased to
know that this western city is the first
to undertake the erection of two ire
proof library buildings at the same
time When the Crerar library is added
to these structures-and that will be in
the near future-this city, once despised
by literary men and viewed with scorn
by eastern scholars, will have a verita-
BILE treasure of precious books and
manuscripts and will become the Mecca
of students in every branch of science.

top floor will also be divided into bed
rooms and studies. The entire building
is, of course. to be lighted by electric
ity and heated by hot water. The cost
of the section of the library here de-
scribed win, according to the estimate
of the architect, exceed 100000.
Eventually additions will be made to
this building.
DIR. William r. Poole, who was for
many years director of the city's public
library, has complete charge OF the
Newberry institution, and to him more
than to any other influence is due the
decision of the trustees establishing an
exclusively reference library, modelled
on the plan of the Aston library at New
York. DR.. Poole was also instrumental

It is not common thing for one city
to contain a number of libraries, each
extensive enough to attract the atten-

every part of the country. But, as has
been remarked before in this CORE

''Big Necl<'' smith TO Force a Hearing
of His Case.
Attorney Charles I. Jones, on behalf of
George (''Big Neck'') Smith, presented a
petition for q writ of habeas corpus to Su-
perior Judge Van Fleet yesterday after
noon.
Smith is in the County Jail, without
bail, having been held to answer for the
murder of Patrick Brannigan by Police
Judge Cravens. The petition sets forth
that Smith is being deprived of his liberty
without reasonable or probable cause;
that the evidence given at the preliminary
examination did not show that the crime
OF murder had been committed, and, ii
Smith is held at all, he is entitled to bail.
Judge Van Fleet ordered that the writ
issue, and it was made returnable before
him this afternoon.
