EARLY CIRCULATING LIBRARIES
The Popular fnstitution Has I3esn ii
Existence for Bundredg Of Years.

The Popular Institution Has Be.a in
Existence for Bundredo Of Years.
From time immemorial, says All
the Year Round, booksellers shops
have been the favorite resort OF all
touched with the love Of letters, and
In the days gone by, when the art OF
advertising was practically unknown,
II was only by frequenting the shops
where sold that possible purchasers
we're able to learn what was going On
In the publishing world, to know
what new books were In course of
publication and to hear and exchange
the latest literary gossip. These early
book lovers, one may lie quite sure,
would he certain to while away many
a leisure hour by "sampling" the
wares on their hosts counters, and
would read, or at least dip into, many
volumes besides those they actually
purchased for more leisurcly con.
sumption at home. And hence might
arise, very naturally, the custom of
formally lending out books to read
for a monetary consideration. Thus,
at the end of Kirkman's ''Thracian
Wonder" published in 1861, the
bookseller makes the following an.
ncuncement: IF any gentleman
please to repair to my house aforesaid
they may be furnished with all man
ner OF English or French histories,
romances or poetry, which are to be
sold or read for reasonable cons idera.
tiOn." 1t is not quite clear from the
last few words whether the books
might be taken away to DO read, or
whether the reading was to be done
In the booksellers shop. But that
books might be taken home Is evi.
dent from the remark OF a character
In Nevile's "Poor Scholar" printed
Ia 1862. "Step to booksellers" he
says, land give him this angel, which
I'll lend you, for the use of the

them to your study, invite your father
to your chamber, show him your II.
brary, and tell him you are twelve
pounds out Of purse for those large
volumes" This was M ingenious
way Of getting around the relieving
officer" but 1t is doubtful, after ali,
whether the lending system was put
into practice to any great extent

Schuefzen Club.

1t was reported last night that
Harry Klemme's Schuetzen Club
had disbanded. They moved out
of the old armory on Beretania
street. The finances of the organi-
cation were not in very healthy
condition.
The general belief is that the two
Schuetzen clubs will now unite
under the leadership of Harry and
Captain Klemme. One purpose of
reorganization is said to be to shut
out couple of Objectionable mem

HEALTH OF EVA.
Cause of the Mild Visitation of
Malaria to the District.

DIR. y. 3. Emerson and Officer
Reynolds of the Board of Health
made an official trip to Eva plan
tation yesterday. They made the
visit as a committee of the Board
to investigate a threatened cpl
demic of malaria. Several cases
have developed lately and have
been brought to Honolulu for treat
ment. There have been no deaths.
DR.. Peterson, the Government ply
stefan, and the plantation people
have been active in guarding
against disease. A member of the
Health Board offered the opinion
that defective drainage and per-
haps bad drinking water invited
the fever.
The committee went over the
place thoroughly. They found that
the management had been atten-
tive and discreet in health matters.
The conclusion reached was that
freshly plowed land was most
likely to blame. 1t had been irri-
gated and the sun beating down on
the moistened soil probably fouled
the atmosphere.

FIFTEEN TONS OF SEED.
Such an Order Will be Sent Away
Today.

By today's mail Mr.. Marsden
will dispatch orders for fifteen tons
of canaigre. This is for the most
part for planters. 1t will be sent
all over the group. With this
amount it is intended simply to
experiment. When it comes to
embarking in the business the or
ders will be much heavier. \
number of gentlemen are conf
dent that culture of the tanning
root plant will be a success in
every way.
There is no certainty that the
fifteen tons will be sent. At last
accounts the sellers of plants had
more orders than they could fill.
Deming, New Mexico, is the supply
point.
Robbery by Railways" will be
the topic of a contribution that
Mr.. Marsden will, at some time
give to current economic literature.
To get sisal plants from Florida to
San Francisco costs but $40 ton.
There are several competing lines.
One corporation has a monopoly of
carriage out of Deming. They
charge $50 a ton freight to San
Francisco.

C0UNTERFElTERS.

United States Secret Service men are
at present hot on the tlial of daring
gang of counterfeiters Many pri-
soners have already been captured.
and indications are not wanting that
warrants have been issued for several
other persons. The chief Of the gang
is supposed to be Russell ID. Hoyt,
formerly hat curler. Samuel Massey,
another member, WAS found TO have
sixty-seven $40 counterfeit bills con-
cealed about him when arrested. The
third member whose name has been
made public is Humphrey Otis, "a
years old, who WAS arrested at Bethel,
near Danbury, Conn.
The public interests require that as
little information as possible shall DO
given out about the methods and com
panions Of these men, but the excel
lence of the counterfeit $40 bills il
beyond dispute. Whether Massey and
his comrades in crime had access TO tn,
plate from which the design was copied
or whether they engraved the counter
felt plate without assistance, is not o
much consequence, the main thin,
being that these men had the skill
and the practice to turn out such ex
cellent imitation, and that only tn
skill OF the secret service men prevente,
many plausible counterfeits from pas
sing into general circulation
One of the worst features of thi
oounterfeiting scheme is that thos
arrested in connection with it bea
well known American names and seen
to have had their headquarters IN
quiet village in Connecticut. We ar
familiar enough with the capture IN,
imprisonment Of Italians for counter
feiting silver half-dollars, and one o
these was arrested only the other day
In New York, with complet
standing plant in his possession. Tn
peculiar Italian bent for counterfeitin
is generally ascribed to the mechanics
genius, combined with an ignorance q
the ultimate power Of the Federal AT
thorities to convict criminals Of thi
kind. But the Connecticut gang car
not be accused OF ignorance of tn
gravity Of their offence or of the keen
ness of the secret service men in fol
lowing up the trail which the circuls
tion of base money is always sure :.
leave behind it, Their crime, there
fore, il proved to the satisfaction OF
jury, ought TO be considered ms YER,
aggravated one, worthy Of the severes
sentence which the law can impose.

single counterfeiters or gangs o.

places the crop Is fair and was secured In

The drought has becp broken in Con

will be late In many fields. Fruit prospects
are more encouraging. Pastures had got
extremely dry and much feeding has TO be
done from the barns. The hay crop was
secured In remarkably fine shape, very
little of IL getting wet and only q small
amount being over-rlpe. The weather was
excellent for harvesting, ard the hay was
secured with less labor than usual. The
quality Of the crop was appsroDhy never
better and the quanty Is far from deficient
in any section. In Fairfield and New
Haven counties a heavy Glover crop was
gathered, and timothy and redtop were
mostly In good yield. A late report from
Greonfeld Hill for last week states that

the drought will DO many thousands Of
dollars, many acres Of onions being unfit 10
