Gen. GreelY Reports Encouraging

Gen. Greedy Reports Encouraging
Start of 81 Fund.
The plan of establishing u free public
library in this city received a de cided i'm
petus last evening at a meeting OF those
who are interested in this subject at the
residence Of Gen. A. w. Greedy. Gen.
Greedy is member Of the committee ap-
pointed some time ago by the Librarians
Association of this city to consider the
most practicable plans for establishing
free public library here. The result
of the deliberations of this committee was
that an appeal should be made to the lber-
ality Of the citizens for the funds neces-
sary to make a beginning. At the meeting
last evening. which ives attended by some
fifteen men, representative of those who
are most deeply interested in this project
Gen. Greedy stated that as result OF
personal canvass which he had made for
funds he had secured subscriptions mount
ing to $4,000, which had been pledged by
sixty subscribers. to be paid in five annual
installmel. is OF 5000 each Gen. Greely
was Of the opinion that If such a sum could
be secured by the efforts of a single in
dividCal. he thought that the cooperation
of others, and a systematic canvass, would
result in securing at lest as much more.
He believed that a large number of the
government employees in the city would be
willing to give. dolls year to such an
enterprise, and he thought that small in
dividual subscriptions would be better for
the interests of the future library than If
the entire amount could be obtained
through the generosity Of a single individ-
ual. In order to relieve Gen. Greedy of the
responsibility of the custody of-such-- q
fund 1t was decided to turn IT over to W.
A. DeCaindry, the treas sursrN of the Cosmos
Club, who was appointed trustee, Of the
fund.
The appots1tment of q committee of five,
of which Gen. Greely is to be chairman.
To-
up the plans for the incorporation and gcv-
ernment of the library. 1t is expected that
a building or at least rooms will be rented
and library started in a small way, SO
that by the time Congress meets here next
| winter a free public library will be In prac-
teal operation. .,.

OSCAR wILDE's TRIAL.
A Variety Singer Gives Testimony Re-
EarilinE Accused.

EartlinE Accused.
LONDON, April 27.-The trial of Oscar
Wilde and Alfred Taylor. charged with
serious msdemeanors. was resumed at the
Old Bailey court today, with a large at
tendance. Alfred Wood was examined and
vas then cross-examined by Sir Edward
Clarke, Q. c., counsel for Wilde; but his
evidence was not shaken.
Frederick Atkins. described as variety
singer, gave evidence as to knowing Alfred
Taylor and others mentioned during the
trial. The trial was finally adjourned until
Monday.
When Edward Shelley. the former en-
ploye Of the publishers. Matthews 4
Lane, was testifying and was asked to tell
the jury what had occurred in oscar
Wilde's rooms the witness pathetically ap-
pealed to counsel to read it from his
previous deposition and thus spare him
the shame of repeating it. Counsel how
ever. made the witness repeat his story.
The day was occupied by the examina-
ton of the same witnesses who have al
ready been called to the stand. and the
testimony was of the same character as
already outlined.

feet almost on the ground Charlie Weldon.
the fourteen-year-old colored orphan, ap-
peared in the Police Court this morning
and gave evidence against Montgomery S.

boys face and Detective Rhodes told the
court that there were bruises on his back.
