THE FREE LEBRIRR.


The Directors OF tho Wilmington Insti-
tute win Proceed to Its Establishment
if the Stockholders Will Cooperate.
The board Of directors of the Whining
ton Institute, at q recent meeting, decided
by 3 unanimous vote to proceed with steps
looking to the establishment of free
library, if the cooperation of the stock
holders can be secured. Two plans for the
organization of the new board of control
were suggested and discussed at some
length, and it was thought that either
might prove feasible or that certain feat
ures Of both might lie adopted.
Both plans contemplate non-political
organization for the management of the
new library. one proposes to do this by
incorporating a free library association
consisting of the present stockholders, and
such persons as they may hereafter asso-
ciate with them. This association would
adopt its own constitution and bylaws,
elect its own board of directors, and be
altogether independent of any eXtraneous
appointing power. The other plan pro-
poses the selection of board of directors
IN part IRON the present Institute board
and i'll part from persons not members OF
that board, and who might be considered
representatives of the city at large. The
successors of the latter members are to be
appointed i'll the same way as the Park
commissioners are appointed, and the
successors of the first mentioned are to be
elected by the new library board itself.
After considering the plans suggested the
Institute board appointed committee II
present the matter to the stock holders, d.
rcGting them TO circulate and attempt To
secure signatures to the following agree
ment;
u, the undersigned, owner Of stock Of
the Wilmington Institute, hereby assent to
the property Of the Institute being trans
icTed 10 Free Library Association, if in
The opinion Of two-thiIis Of the executive
committee and also Of the stockholders
| present at meeting called to consider the
subject, such 4 course shall be deemed ex
| peaicnt,"
| y copy of this agreement will be pre-
scented 10 each slockhuider, ami he will bC
| asked 70 sign Il and return il TO the spnciA
! committee II will be seen that the whole
matter is contingent ON the acceptance ui
| the general plan by the stockholders afteI
thepans have been intelligcntly presentot

CONVICT CAMP EPID EMO.
DIR. Cantroli Makes an Interesting Repor
of His Professional Investigation.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. Cdr. G. NJ. D.
Cantrell of Little Rock last night made an
interesting statement regarding the recent
deaths of conyicts at that place. Or. Can
trel was penitentiary physician for four
years, his term of office ending in May,
1890
lie states that during his administration
he visited the convict camps and IN ms re,
port, made in January last, he devoted
one-half of il to the bad sanitary. condi-
ton of the camps and showed that the
death rate was greater among convicts IN
the camps than among those confined in
the penitentiary walls. Regarding this re-
port DIR. CantrCll says;
All that portion of the report bearing on
the condition Of the camp was stricken out
| by Attorneys general Atticks, who argued
| that nv province was with the peniten-
| tiarv, and that | had no authority over
convcts confined in camps Further, that
| the report, if presented to the legislature
as had drafted it, would act as two
| edged sword, inasmuch that IL would bring
| the board to task for being derelect in their
| duties, and, therefore, he thought ii best to
| strike il out. His opinion was seconded
/ ny the governor and that portion OF the
| report was suppressed.
As to the recent deaths at Helena and
Little Rock. he said Personal inyestiga'
| tons coupled with my past experience
| suggest to my mind that the deaths are due
to bad food and sanitary surroundings
sleeping in freight cars, and drinking
water from sewer drains contiguous to

sMALA.POx IN sITKd.
1t Breaks out Among tn. Natives--Quar'
antine Measures Adopted.

SEATTLE, WASH, Jan. IA Sitka,
Alaska, letter dated December oath con.
tains the startling information that small
pox has made its appearance among the
natives there. and says that the white set
tiers are thoroughly accused to the gravity
of the situation and are making every
effort to PIT down the epidemic.
The letter states that it is probably
owing 10 the prompt action Of United
States Marshal Oryilie w. Hortcr, who
had the patients u1nfantinrd at layunski,
across the bay from sitka, that the disease
did not obtain stronger fouthod, The
prisoners from the Jail are aboard small
schooner chartered by the government at
$1,000 month"; and will be kept under
guard until all danger Of another outbreak
is past.
Fears are entertained that the ncighbor-
hood of Juneau, 80 miles distant, will be
infected, as the prisoner who first con-
tracted the smallpox was one who had
been transferred from that place TO sitka
for safe. keeping.
The letter says that local quarantine
will be rigidly exercised III preventing the
spread Of the infection to Puget Sound.
