HENRY GEORGE is POPULAR.

I'VE have several Of the works of Henry
George" said the librarian. land his writ
ings are more asked for than any of the
other economic writer's. Working people
seem to seek such books rather than any
other class. They also favor the bound
volumes of the monthly magazines, and the
call for these has been large during the
past two months"
1t is a pleasing feature to note that this
class of readers is largely on the increase,
ana they are manifesting great interest
in the library Notwithstanding the fact
thai the country is on the eve of u great
political campaign, in which the financial
question will be one of the leading issues,
money are moIested. Fianked on either
side with large bound volumes is Il little
yellow-covered book, bearing the title,
Coins Financial School," back number
to all Appearances. No one desires it.
A scheme which is soon to be inaugurated
to encourage the reading of more substan-
tial worss, is to allow each applicant to
borrow two books at time, one of fiction,
anu accompanying it q book of heavier
caliber. This plan has been found to work
successfully in other cities.
Not a few colored persons of the more
intelligent classes are patrons of the Free
Library, and their selections are generally
of good literature. At tile opening of
school in the fall a plan will be adopted to
acQuaint the pupils with the new library by
allowing each teacher a certain pumber of
books to loan out among the scholars.

The last ten years experience under a

the masses of the people to demand a
change. The occasion of all this cry of
despair is unrighteous legislation. 1t has
been too long in favor of the classes and

THEY READ GOOD LITERATURE


From present Indications the same aver
age will about be maintained during the
month OF June, which is consider red by all
literary people TO be the worst time for
reading.
The reason for this seems to be that
people are out OF doors and many are
going away. Young ladies especially,
who are great readers, much prefer TO sit
in hammocks by the seaside and read
stories in lighter vein-love romances
and paper-covered novels. There is very
httie or this class in the Washington Free
Library. Nearly all of the works are bv
standard authors, and the patronage is
such there Is little call for cheap reading
matter.
There is wide field for character study
among those Who make use of the free
books, and this the custodians of the
office do not fail to take note OF. The
books called for and the manner in which
they regard the work and speak OF il
indicate great deal.

recently a wakened to the fac, [ hat a certain

BoNA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION.
A reference to the state
ment below will show that
the circulation sworn to is a
bona fide one.
1t is easily possible for a
newspaper with an elastic
conscience to swell its legit-
innate circulation enOr-
mousiy, i'm order to deceive
advertisers, by sending out
thousands of papers to
news stands, which are re-
turnabIe, and which are in
fact returned, but neverthe-
less are included in what
purports to be an honest
statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers,
however, Judge by results,
and bogus circulation don't
give them.
The family circulation of
The Times is many thou
sands in excess of any other
Washington paper and is
believed to be fully two
times that of its afternoon
contemporary.
The circulation of THE TIMES for the
week ended June S, 1895, was as follows:
Saturday, May so. ........ 54,406
Sunday, MAY 81 3l......... 1895

INCREAsE BOOKS.

When the doors were thrown open to the
public on January 6 there were on the
shelves 3,O51 books. BY the 1st Of June
number had beendoubled. there being few
over 100 volumes. Almost every day
free Contributions are received. Among
the many ladies who have taken active in
teres in the library are Mrs. John Mclean
and Mrs. Hears wife of the late California
millionaire Senator. Not week passes
but the former sends in from 30 to 1C0
publications, many OF them Just from the
press. Mrs. Hearst has donated 100 beauti-
fully bound volumes of American history.
Others have been most liberal Many we'll
to-do people purchase volume of the lat
est work, aud after the family have read it
present it to the free library. In this man
ner numbers OF new books have been placed
upon the shelves.
The method, adopted at the beginning,
of requiring of each applicant besides his
or her name, address and occupation the
name of some well known or responsible
party as reference, is proving very effectuaI
Books are kept in good order and for the
most part promptly returned.
During the existence OF the institution
the names Of 3,7s1 borrowers have been
enrolled; 26,09S volumes have been loan
ed for home use. and 5000 for use in the
reading room, making a total OF 3I,I67
VOLUMES called for and given out, an aver
age of 257 for 121 days. This the promot-
ers think, Is handsome showing consid-
ering the age and size of the library.

In the Five Months of It's Existence
the Number Of Volumes Has Been

The success of the Free Library, ut Fl
street and Vermont avenue, after trial
OF five months, has demonstrated beyond
question that that much-needed institution,
so long talked OF, is well appreciated by
the reading public OF Washington. When
a iiincs iepOr.er called touuy d Sne library
the rooms were well filled with readers
and those who were making application
for books.
The genial librarian, Miss GiIkey. and
her assistant, are kept busy from 10 o'clock
in the morning until o'clock at night
on week days in supplying tho wants OF
patrons, in citaloguing Z the new works which
are received daily, and arranging them in
their proper places.
The library is closed on Sundays and
will be for the present at least. There has
been considerable talk OF keeping the rc ons
open during certain hours on Sunday to
give those who have no opportunity to
come at other times a chance to share the
bene fits OF the institution. The librarian is
rather inclined TO favor such n project.
especially when the library shall have
grown larger, and another assistant will
be required.
