Auburn.

Last month at the annual financial
meeting of the town of Cranston. $500 was
appropriated for the use of the Auburn
public library. The result of this appro-
priation may be seen now at any time in
the new library in the Odd Fell
lows building. Last evening was
opening night and the library
was open for inspection, about 100
people having visited it during the even
Ing. The library Is in the largest room
on the ground floor with an entrance on
Park avenue, The room Is long and quite
wide with high studded walls and fres-
coed ceiling. The back of the room is
taken up with the book cases and the
librarians desk. All the rest of
the space is utilized by the
tables and chairs capable OF seat
ing 30 people with desk room for each,
each table being lighted by a separate gas
fixture. The library comprises at present
about 400 volumes and nearly all the
periodicals, and the more important daily
papers. All together the Auburn Free
Library Is one that the people Of this viii
Iage may feel justly proud Of.

AN ENLARGED NERVE.

The freedom with which acquaintance
are formed on railroads, and the nerve Of
some people in forming them with an OBJ
feet in view, was illustrated on one of the
local trains yesterday afternoon. well
known librarian, who resides n short
distance from the city, was accosted
by stranger on the train, who
presistcd in talking to the m IN
OF letters, Notwithstanding the latter
desire TO read. After while the librarian
put aside his book and paid some atten-
ton to his talkative neighbor. Soon the
conductor put in his appearance. the
talkative stranger, who, by tho way. was
n Connecticut Yankee, suddenly asked his
new found friend II hc Travelled ON mileage,
ON getting an affirmative answer, he asked
for the losn of the mileage book, a. il

that his request was granted.

A Pyrrhic Victory.
Boston Herald.

The result of the by-election at South Hack
ney on Monday is n damaging blow TO the
succeeded in retaining the seat, but the reduc-
tion OF their party majority from a broad
margin TO a mere selvag is almost equivalent
10 a defeat. At the general election of 1892
Sir Charles Russell carried the district for the
Liberals by an overwhelming lead against
Mr.. Thomas Herbert Robertson, who ran in
the Conservative interest. The poll
stood Russell. 44i0; Robertson, 3sg3:
Liberal majority of ll47 in total
vote of 1888. At Mondays by-election
Mr.. Fletcher Moulton, the Liberal candidate,
received 1850 votes against 1888 for Mr. Rob-
ertson. who again came forward as the Con-
servative banner-bearer, Liberal majority
of l9s In total of s56s.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

Under the charter of the Slate of New
York revision of the constitution every
20 years is provided for. and yesterday
the sixth constitutional convention was
begun at noon at the Capitol in Albany.
The chief change, or rather the one the
most prominently discussed, is the pro-
position to strike out the word male
thus giving the suffrage to women.
The presiding officer, Joseph II. Choate,
put an end to any belief that this ques-
ton would not be debated seriously by
declaring that the application would be
treated with consideration. Mrs. Choate
is an enthusiastic woman suffragist, aud
it is to be presumed that Mr.. Choate in
the formation Of his various committees
will be conscientious in his selection of
the members Of the committee who will
prepare this part of the conventions
work. 1t is serious question for him
at all events.
Among the other important matters
to demand the attention of the conven-
tion are amendments to remodel the cleo
tion system of the State by the divorce.
ment of municipal elections from State
elections; to enlarge the Court of Ap-
peals; to increase the number of justices
of the Supreme Court to abolish capt.
tai punishment to provide for biennial
sessions of the Legislature, and to define
the rights of municipalities, especially
with regard to taxation and the relation
of towns and cities to corporations.
1t is very questionable whether the
suffrage is given to the women, in fact.
strong as is the sentiment in the metrop-
oils among the more educated classes in
favor of thus extending the suffrage.
there is little or no prospect that such a
change will be recommended.
The suggestion OF divorcing State
from municipal elections while in every
way desirable will be fought by politi-
clans of the machine order, but there
seems to be strong reasons for believing
that the amendment will be- carried.
The amendments for the enlargements
OF the courts are practically assured of
passage, but the adoption of the bien-,
nial system will be resisted most siren
uously and probably successfully.
1t will be interesting to watch
the way in which the convention
treats the relations of municipalities
and corporations. Interesting in more
ways than one, as it will demonstrate
either the ability or inability of corporate
bodies in New York to influence lecisla-
tion Of the highest class as constitu.
tional legislation always is, and second
to observe how the presiding officer.
Mr.. Choate, who is corporation
attorney and whose entire business is in
the handling Of corporate business
comports himself lie will be torn by
conflicting duties, those toward the pub
lie, which OF course are disinterestcd
duties, and his duties TO his clients.
Mr.. Choate is public minded, honor
able man and viii endeavor 20 act per-
iectly impartially in this matter, but

the part of many farmers this year

SURE THING.
All Decided About the Proposed Odd
Fellows Building,

It's all settled. There is no doubt
about it. The man who is going to
direct arrangements says so. This
mans name is John L. Johnston,
professor of civil engineering and
applied mathematics at the West
Virginia University.
What is settled?
Why the Odd Fellows building is
a go, and before two weeks you will
hear of the Carraco corner buildings
coming down. Prof. Johnston has
consented to do all estimating. On
the building this has been done.
The estimate is to get inside
of the $4,000 appropriation. There
is to be made building 116 feet on
Walnut street by SO back, and fac
ing on Main A feet. This Main
street is pretty frontage, but it
does not compare with that facing of
l16 feet on Walnut street. Think
of beautiful buildings on such a
frontage.
These dimensions and the fact of
the building to be made are all we
can add to what our readers already
know. The building was described
as to its interior previously, and the
ideas then stated are to be carried
out. Prof Johnston gives the as
surance that the theater part of the
building will be ready for the fall
attractions. There is grand element
of sure thing about what is here
given.
