PRESIDENT FUTILE EXPLAINS
Why Mr.. ManIey Was Taken Into Maine Cen
traI-Not to Be President.

LuciuS futile. president of the BoS-
ton Il Maine Railroad. denies that
Joseph II. Manley of Augusta will be
the next president of the Maine Cen
trail.
Mr.. futile read with interest the dis
patch from Portland in Wednesday
mornings Herald. stating that a
change is contemplated in the presi-
dency of the Maine Central, which road
has been the subject of all sorts of
rumors since Payson Tucker was dis
posed from the office of general man
ager. While President futile bears out
the truth of the assertion that Joseph
II. Manley is not a candidate for any
office under the Mckinley administra-
ton, he speaks With authority when he
says that Mr.. Manley's election to the
Maine Central directorate was only for
the purpose of strengthening the COM
pany. President futile made this
statement for the Herald:
"All rumors or statements that a
change in the presidency of the Maine
Central Railroad is contemplated are
without foundation, in fact, and are
evidence only of fertility of magma
ton on the part of those with whom
these rumors originate. Neither is
there any truth in the statement that
Mr.. Joseph II. Manley came into the
Maine Central board under any agree
ment or understanding, made or i'm
piled, as to his occupying, now or in
the future, any other position in the
company's organization than that of
director. By the declination of one of
the Maine Central members of the
board to accept reelection, a vacancy
was created, and, at the annual meet
ing in October. Mr.. Manley was selected
to fill it, in the belief that his presence
would give added strength to the man
agement.
1T is likewise untrue that Mr.. Will
son was made president because he
represented any individual interest or
preference in the Maine Central or
Boston & Maine ownerships. He had
been for some years a member of the
board, and was in 1898 made chairman,
and afterward president, because of
the belief in his peculiar fitness for the
position by all of the members of the
board. boston Herald, Dec. 10.

After a protracted contest. the city
government has expressed itself in
favor of the open shelf system for the
Lithgow Library We We're certain
they would come to this conclusion,
as it is demanded by the public. and
is clearly in the line of progress. The
trustees will now, of course, carry out
the wishes of the people. and make
plans for the adoption of this method.
A responsibility necessarily goes with
this privilege: the people who patron
ize the library will be placed upon
their honor. and they must see to it
that the privileges granted them are
not abused in the slightest degree. We
apprehend no trouble whatever, and
we have no doubt but the able libra
rian and her assistant will be fully

extra help. Where the system has
been tried, the work of the librarian
