The Liberty Ben VIII Come.

Philadelphia, August 30.-Judge Thayer
rendered an opinion today deciding that the
city could take the Liberty bell to the At
lanta exposition. The opinion was deliver
ed in connection with a bill in equity re-
Gently filed by certain well-known citizens
against the city, Mayor Warwick. James L.
Miles. president of the select councils;
Wencel Hartman. president of the common
council; Director Of Public Works Thomas
and Chief Eisenhower of the bureau of city
property.
The complainants appeared In the role or
citizens and taxpayers and asked for an
injunction to restrain the defendants from
taking the bell to the Atlanta exposition on
the grounds among other things, of the
Elegantly OF the appropriation to pay the
expenses and also because such a trip be-
yond the city limits would be putting the
bell to use other than its proper and
legitimate one.
Judge rhayer refused the motion for the
injunction and ordered that the bill be dis
missed with costs. In his opinion Judge
Thayer says among other things
Independence bell. or the Liberty bell
as it is commonly called. is the property of
the city of Philadelphia. The property of
Philadelphia in the Liberty bell is as alb

as is the title by which any individual

It may have cost us a few pence, or it may have cost us pounds but it is not really ours, that tome that tomorrow may be gayly borne away from our book shelves. to come back it may Dc never.
 And the worst of it is that no opprobri um, not even a moral one, rests upon the book thief That ghoul is of all others the lightest hearted filcher in the world The ruf1ianly highwayman of tho library than whom never was braver, gallant, more impudent, graceless, picturesque, forgiya ble creature imaginable.

The Tricycle. Ad. Writer.

A novel scheme for advertising is accom- plished by means of the tricycle. A French inventor is using tho machine for printing various trade statements on the payements of Paris. This feat is accomplished by means of immepse types set into the tire of tho hind wheels of the machine. Ink is used in the printing and the typo is made of rubber. Each rubber type is-independ- ently inserted in tho wheel so that it can be removed and other type inserted. Thus tho machine can be made to print any sen- tence whose length is not longer than the circumference of the wheel
 A reservoir, or fountain, of ink is situ- ated back of the seat and flows to rollers, which bear on the top of the wheels. Then as the latter roll around the ink is con- veyed to the pavement and the impression of the letters is left there, While the streets of Paris are additionally clean, yet there is always enough dust which would be caught up by the ink faced type, a condi- tion which would result very soon in the clogging of the machine. To prevent this a little blower, or bellows, is placed in front of each wheel and as tho machine moves it eiects YInd enohgh to blow away all dust immediately in line with the wheel. Tbe machine was shown at TO- cent exhibition of bicycles in Paris.-St Louis Post Dispatch.

It so happened that had crossed the Fay bridge in a gale of wind few weeks be- fore its collapse, and was talking to John Nasmyth about it, when he said: Ut has always seemed to me that the constructors of that bridge made great mistake in talk ing the letter I instead of A for their mod el. Look hcre," he continued, rising from his chAir and straddling his legs wide apart, 'you give me push sideways, but you can't move me. Now''-drawing his feet close together and standing bolt up- right-"the least lateral pressure will up- set me at once. "-John Murray in Good Words

One sympathizos with the rule made by some people, indulgcnt enough to lend indeed, but not of faith sufficient to lend unguardetlly, who, with the volume, issue the proviso. "Please GOV CT while you rcad it.
 There is book ghoul of the exterior, and thero is a book ghoul of tho interior. Some times indeed he is in combination, and then, alas and alack, the day for tho un- fortunate ownerl For, in addition to the. horrible treatment just mentioned, he makes tho further outrage of dog cars and pcnciled passages-nay, even of common taries, and, more horrible still of thumb marks scrawled upon tho margins Au- dacity pure and simple is it for man or woman to write upon the book that is lent, unlcss-and the exception must be most narrowly taken-the friendship that exists between owner and borrower is of the closest and longest character. For, be it recollected, that apart from the insight illness of marginal marks, thero is an ann biguity about them that is excessively irri- tating to the next reader of the book and those who follow. Why should this passage or that word be scored? Can any one save tho near friend even guess tho reason? It is unfair to the author and unfair to the peruser, US well as unfair to the possessor of the book, to mark 1t. The result is the taking off of the next readers thoughts from the subject matter of the volume, the undue excitement and bowilderment of his mind and the defacement of the pages three unpleasant and undesirable happen ings
 Marked by it's owner, book is not de- faced. His marginal notes, his scored pas sages, arc but the testimonies of his regard or interest for that which he has read. He sets down reminders upon the pages of happy studious hours, and should his friend who loves him be privileged to see tho copy and his marks the deep interest he feels in him will receive spur, light will be thrown upon his character and metaphorical hand clasp will result. For to know those we love is surely highest bliss and perhaps this suitable way of making his acquaintance beyond the husk of his outer personality, besides being a most enchanting method is also sure one Herein is Set forth the great differ ence between an owner and borrower.

LITERARY GHOULS.
CREATURES WHO CAUSE YOU NO
 END OF ANNOYANCES.

Most Audaoious Fellows, Who Defaces
 Books - What Difference When the
 Owner Marks a Book.
 From time to time plaintiye letter ad- dressed to tho papers, or an advertisement pcremptorily assertiye, reminds us of the existence of the literary thief, tho wolf in shccp's clothing, who borrows books from his friends and hastcns not to return them. The fact of his being n friend makes it the more annoying. If he were an acquaint- aeee merely, 0 letter beginning sir or inadam, indeed printed form, demand ;;ig tho return of specified volumes, might .ae forwarded to him when a decent time after the loan had been mado had elapsed. -3ut seeing that he is something more he aust bc treated as such. Even hint may l,o taken with resentment. Tho narrow line separating excellent good camaraderie rom outraged feelings is so easily bridged that bold indeed is he who cndeavors to re- cover his severed property by such O hum- ble sentence as If you havo quite finished with 1t Cor them), should like to have that book tor those books) of mine back, please.
 Chesterfield, Bayard, Gandison, a Crichton could scarcely risk the saying of such scntnece with impunity. That which Is our own, when lent, is loss ours than tho persons to whom we intrusted it. So rather than keep in book Q list of the volumes with which we havc parted, with tho dates of lending and the names of those to whom lent, let us refuse abso- lutcly to ono and all plea for borrowing This selfish plan is the only one that can save us completely from tho loss of books. It may also save us from other annoyances.
 Among tho minor irritations of book lending tho usage they receive nt tho hands of borrowers may surely count. Some peo pie swathe all their volumes in brown pa- per or linen, rendering their shelves un- slightly in order to preserve tho backs of their volumes. Others like and encourage the signs of age and usage that oft read worn hands of faithful servants or the gray hairs of devoted parents touch and pleasure them But in the same way that they would hate upon either signs of i'll treatment, tho blcary eyed and bloated countcnance, so upon their books do they resent tributes of unfair usage at tho hands of their friends.
 An owner of books can do with them what he will. It is perhaps tho sign of a reyerential possessor, rather than that of a literary lover, should books be met in shelves with the outer covering paper upon them, and for this reason ono would prefer
