Reply to Complaint of Yesterday.

Reply to Complaint of Yesterday.
 June 27, 1894. 10 the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: Sir: The statements made by a cor respondent in what certainly was Ia big waste O time'' in your issue of this morning are entirely devoid of truth. In all of the catalogues of this library the books are entered under both sub ject and author, and, in all necessary cases, under the title as well. Thousands of residents of the city can verify this statement by an examination of their copies of the printed catalogue, and to any person who calls at the library it will be made evident that he may find any book in the library as readily as he could find word in the dictionary.
 It seems pertinent to say, in this con- nection, that information concerning, books, catalogues and all other. matters pertaining to the use of the library is always readily given by the members of the library, staff. And it would seem that any candid seeker after knowledge within those limits would consider the library the proper place to make in- quiries. Very truly yours,
