Publishers aud Librarians

The future Of the publishers work
for a higher standard Of literature de-
ponds largely upon the Libraries and IL
brarv associations. Larger library funds
and better methods of distribution will
make the next generation Of sCribblers
better fitted 10 scribble. The books
which puzzle publishers the most are
those which a few people could use to
great advantage. If we publishers could
be assured that 500 public Libraries
would buy them, it would be possible for
as To publish many books which are now
refused. but which would be in demand
by scholarly reading public. now not
able To buy them. Out of 1000 Libraries
in this country only about 200 have a
buying income, and Of these perhaps 100
can take these books which the scholars,
who would use them with great benefit,
can take. Here in New England you
are doing your full share in this direc-
tion of catering to the most scholarly
taste Of readers, but many of you lack
funds, and what we need all over this
country is a.better understanding of this
need and library endowments which
shall make it possible for us TO publish
these works that would be Of benefit TO
Libraries and to the very best class Of
readers. Mr.. q. II. Putnam TO Massa-

to correspond with the design approved by
the Secretary of the Navy, caused by the
admittance of Utah in the constellation Of
States. Although there are many flags at
the yard to be changed, it will not require
the services of additional tiagmakers, as
was hoped for by number of deserving
widows and others desirous of securing
employment at the yard. While the art
of fag-making is simple one to master,
it is strange ruling made by the Secre-
tary of the Navy, as we'll as the Board of
Labor, that, although they carry the rat
ing of seamstress on the list OF eligible
employees for labor, no person that has
registered as such can ever be employed
as tiagmaker, unless they have had expe-
rience as such, and the consequence is that
they are debarred, even if there was work
of this class to perform. Outside of the
few fagmakers now employed, there are
eight or ten ladies registered as hagmak-
ers, and an equal number of seamstresses,
and who will never be called for by the
board, therefore it is unwise for any others
to spend their time and money to come to
the yard and register their names in hopes
they will be employed to sew additional
stars in the flags now on hand at Mare

MAXWELL'S ULTIMATUM.
Junta Troubles in the Forty-Fourth
Reach Crisis.

The efforts of Chairman w. P. Sullivan
and Gavin McNab of the Democratic Junta
to preserve the highest degree of harmony
and to avoid any specific revelations of
the strength and attitude of the Rainey-
Daggett faction have not so far been par
ticularly successful.
The most important row attending the
recent election of a new general committee
has been the one in the Forty-fourth Dis
trict where George Maxwell is at the head
of the Rainey forces which control the
district. Last week it was stated at Junta
headquarters that Maxwell had surren-.
dered to Chairman Sullivan's ultimatum
that Maxwell could name but twelve of
the twenty five delegates. regardless of his
majority. This Maxwell denied, and at a
meeting of the Democratic Club of the dis
trlct Saturday evening the Rainey forces
stood py their guns and gave Chairman
Sullivan an ultimatum expressed in the
following resolution:
RESOLVED, That we, the Democrats of the
Forty-fourth Assembly District in meeting as
sembled, in order to restore harmony in the
ranks of the Democratic party, make the fol.
lowing propositions:
That all nominations and elections hereto
fore held in said district for the office OF gen.
the primary committee OF the general commit
tee of the party declared off, and that meet
ing OF this club be held on Monday evening,
March 9, 1896, and that new nominations be
made therefor. And that each of the two fac
tions in said district appoint two officers of
election ard that an election be held on
Wednesday evening, March IL, 1896. at 8
o'clock, at 1927 Stockton street, and that every
enrolled voter in said clup, and no others, be
allowed to vote, that their ballots be received
and counted at said place, and that the results
of said election be then and there announced
at the close of the count, and that the twenty
five persons receiving the highest vote at said
election be declared elected, and that the club
declare the results OF the same, and this shall
be final; be it further
ResolUed, That an acceptance or rejection Of
the above proposition be sent to this club on
or before Monday evening, March 81 at 8
O'Clock, by Colonel William P. Sullivs3l. the
chairman of the general committee, in viting;
and if not received on or before said ti}he the
former action OF this club will be considered
final.
At this meeting 125 members of the club
were present. Should a new open election
be held in the m amer described the Rainey
forces would have no trouble in carrying
the election. Further efforts at compro-
mise will be made To-Day.

Good Shooting Done by Members of the
Empire Gun Club.

Good Shooting Done by Members of the
Empire Gun Club.
The first regular shoot of this year of
the Empire Gun Club took place at Ala
media Point yesterday afternoon. The
weather was not perfect, but yet not bad
enough to materially interfere with shoot
ing. Nearly thirty members were present
and the scores all averaged fairly high.
Mr.. Winning had the first shot of the
main match for twenty-five birds at un-
known angles. He missed his shot, but
eventually piled up score of Is. Pringle
and Trombone made the highest scores,
killing twenty-one birds each. Following
is the score of all over 16: Pringie u,
Trombone II, Daniels 49, Burgans 10,
johnson 10, Andrews 10, Winning 18,
Grass II. Quinton 16, ingalls, 16.
The second event was a scrub match of
twenty birds at unknown angles. The
highest scores made in this were by Bur-
gans and Zeiner, who got each sixteen
birds. Varney, Ellington and Allen each
made scores of fifteen, and Fisher, from
bone, Quinlan and Johnson each killed
fourteen. There were eighteen shooters
in this match, the scores of the others
running very low.
The best shooting of the day was done
in the second scrub match for twenty
birds. There were six shooters. Allen,
Trombone, Burgans and Smith each got
seventeen birds, and Taylor and Fredericks
each got fifteen.
The last event of the day was match
for six pair of doubles. Zeiner made the
best score, getting ten out of possible
twelve. Allen made nine, from bone and
Burgans eight each, Taylor six and Fred
ericks five.
