THE CREAM OF LITERATURE.

A young man called at our office a few
DAYS ago and showed us a work which
is being introduced in this county, with
q request that we examine it. We are
i'm a position every day to examine books
and reading matter. but We consider this
book. entitled the Best Fifty Books OF
the Greatest Authors" the best book
of the kind ever issued from the press.
Il is a condensation of what the best
critics consider the bsst fifty books OF
HE whole range of literature. l. en-
braces about one hundred thousand
pages of the originals and covers a period
of over three thousand years.
A careful reading Of this work will
enable a person 10 converse more in
diligently on literary lines than ninety
par cent. of those who have read the
originals. We have never before seen
anything like il. or its equal in quality
Of paper or character of illustrations for

Buffalo. y. Y. Every family needs Just
such a work. and every young man and
woman should possess a copy. We have
ordered copy for ourselves and we
would be glad to know that every per-
son in The county who is trying to i'm
prove himself or the minds OF his family.

THE BRYAN MEETING.
Arrangements for the Coming of the Next
President steadily Going Forward.

The ARRANGEMENTS for the mammoth
mass meeting. to be addressed by Hon.
William Jennings Bryan, next President
of the United States. on the evening OF
October 1st. on the State Fair GROUNDS
nre steadily going forward, and IN very
few days the Register will be enabled 70
announce all the details in connected
and compact form.
The Committee on Transportation ana
Railroad Rates have made a partial re-
port. from which it appears there VIII
70 reduced rates on all the railroads
sach!ng this city, none OF them higher
than one fare for the round trip, ana
same will be even less than that.
The Ohio river road will make a rate
of one fare for the round trip over the
entire extent of its lines, and arrange
ments will be made to provide cars 1oE
any possible number OF people.
The Be,laire. GAINESVILLE and Cincln-
natl will make the same rate, and VIII
ensure ample accommodations.
The trans-Ohio division of the Balt!-
more and Ohio will make satisfactory
rates from points as far west as cam
bridge. and train No. 105, leaving this
city at lao p. m, viii be stopped at all
stations as far west as Quaker CO TO
leave passengers off, so that perons at
tending from along the line Of the road
can get back home the same night.
The Cleveland and Pittsburg and Pan
Handle offer a rate of one fare for the
round trip. and will be prepared to haul
as many people as may desire to come.
The Wheeling and Lake Erie and
Vieveland, LOrain and Wheeling Will
probably have a very low rate-les9
than half fare, but the exact figure can
not be given this morning.
The rate on the main line of theBalti-
more and Ohio and the Pittsburg diyis-
ion of the same road will likely be one
fare for the round trip.
These low rates will ensure an enor-
nous attendance of Democrats and sill
yer men from out of town. Washing
ton county, Pa, will send a very large
delegation. and PitJsburg will do the
same: many hundreds will come from
the upper Pan Handle counties, and JEFF
ferson Belmont and Washington coun-
ties. O.. will be represented by thous-
ands. while from along the main line OF
the Baltimore and Ohio and the Ohio
river roads it will require several long
trains 10 haul the delegations. 1t is no;
impossible that Tiers will be twenty
thousand strangers in the city on the
evening of October 1st, and they will be
provided for on the Fair Grounds.
