THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
Meeting of Trustees and Monthly
Report of the Librarian.

The public library board held a
meeting Monday night and decided
to order number of new books,
among them such valuable ones as
Library of American Literature
eleven volumes, photographic Gean-
alogica Americana" and some vol
umes of travel and fiction.
The librarian presented her report,
showing that less fiction and more
travel had been read, owing to the
good work of the teachers of the city.
The number of patrons registered
Dec. 1st was l, 421, gain of 81 during
the month. The number of books in
the library was 1896, gain of 26.
There were 2, 631 volumes issued dur
ing November, of which 10 were juve-
nile classes, 64S juvenile fiction, $40
adult classes, 1904 adult fiction, and
&c room. The circulation averaged
los day. The cash receipts were
$500.
The librarian asked permission to
leave the door unlocked from 900 to
1900 for those who wish to use the
reading room alone, the arrangement
to be. discontinued if it interrupts her
work. The directors approved of the
suggestion and authorized the open
ing of the reading room, but instruct
ed the librarian to issue or receive no
library books during those hours.
Geo T. Barr presented the library
with a volume of state documents,
and @. HI. Higgs with report of the

Many Gifts to Catholic and Episcopal
Churches-Mr. Coles Request.
The Milwaukee Sentinel of last Sun
: day, under the above heading, printed
the following:
While perhaps the city Of Water
town in itself has never yet been
blessed by any great act Of philan-
Ghropy, there have been neverthe-
less among it's citizens several whose
love for mankind has prompted
them to make donations of consider
able value which have been of great
benefit to others. Among these is Dr.
Edward Johnson, a leading member of
the Catholic faith, who two years ago
erected St. Bernardo parochial school
at cost of $4,000, and who has at diff
ferent times given handsome statues
and other altar decorations for st. Ber-
nard's church costing in the neighbour
hood of So, 800. DR.. johnson is also a
liberal giver to the running expenses
of his church, and takes great pride in
patronizing the College of Our Lady of
the Sacred Heart He evidently be-
lieves that philanthropy should be in
~dulged in while it can be appreciated
by the donor.
Another substantial supporter of his
chosen faith is Daniel Jones, senior
warden of ST. Paul's Episcopal church.
Besides being always liberal giver to
the maintenance of the church and
parish, Mr.. Jones few years ago added
to the edifce spire and beltry, with
q large bell, as memorial to his de-
ceased wife. Mr.. Jones has also con-
tributed literally to the endowment
fund OF the Milwaukee diocese.
Tho Cn1u Memorial ohorlpl nrQttu
little brick building connecting on the
east with ST. Paul's church, was erected
in 1856 by Miss Susan S. Cady as last
ing monument to her deceased father,
Linus r. Cady, for years banker of
this city. Its cost was about SIS, 900.
Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall J. Woodland
were both substantial contributors to
the erection of the new buildings at
Beloit college two years ago. In the
early history of Watertown, Luther
Cole, one of the first settlers. decided
to the city piece of land in the First
ward, facing his residence, for public
park, and it is now utilized for that
purpose. But perhaps the name of the
Eaters brother. the late John w. Cole,
is destined to become the most revered
LES public benefactor among Water
ttegn citizens. His Will DEGREES that
property aggregdIlHS @oo,Ooo oudl1 DC
beld in trust for the city until alter the
death of his wife and son, who are to
have the benefit of it during their
lives. The will, however, it is claimed,
f.eontainsmany flaws and complications,
,vand it>may not be practicable to fulfill
TTts provisions. The matter is now IN
the courts to secure a proper con-
struction. 1t is possible that the city
may never receive the benefactions OF
Mr.. Cole. The principal benefit which
would be derived from this legacy is
the establishment of free library.
Last summer, after the burning OF
the Northwestern university building,
various citizens subscribed large sum
Of money towards the fund for the new
building.
