FICTION Is BARRED.
NO NOVELS IN THE NEW CRERAR
LIBRARY AT CHICAGO.

John Crerar's Request and How It Is EN-
p1oyed-A Big Library without Build
ing of Its Own-valuab1e Addition to
Chicago's Educational Facilities.
Chicago is TO have distinct novelty
in the way of public library. This is
the John Crerar library, which, on the
1st of next April, is to be opened to the
public. Instead of occupying an expen-
sive structure in some inaccessible por-
ton of the suburbs, it is to be located on
the sixth floor of large Office building
in the business center of the city. 1t is
to be a reference library of scientific lit
erature, too, which will give it an indi-
viduality which the ordinary public Ii
brary does not possess.
The late John Crerar was born in
New York of Scotch parents, but when
he died, in 1889, he had been resident
of Chicago for 81 years. During that
time he had accumulated a fortune Of
So, 500, 900, which he had made as a
manufacturer of railway supplies He
was bachelor and left all his wealth,
with the exception of few requests to
personal friends, to various philan-
buIODlC ana f044S51OUS 1ASt1GUG1OUS AdS1O
was hardly a worthy charity in Chicago
which did not receive a generous gift.
But the bulk of his fortune, So, $780,
900, which was SO wisely invested that
it could readily be turned into cash, he
bequeathed to the people Of Chicago for
the erection and maintenance of a FREQ
public library which should bear his
name. He named d number of his
friends as directors and trustees of the
fund and stipulated that Normal Will
liams be made the first president of the
library corporation.
Legal complications caused by an at
tempt to break the will somewhat de-
layed the carrying out of the provisions,
but the will was declared valid in 1898,
and year later the administration of
the estate was closed. The library was
incorporated soon after and organized
Jan. 10, 1895. After the directors had
decided on the character of the library
they concluded that to erect a building
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1897-02-11

at present would seriously impair the
endowment and consequently the imme-
diate usefulness of the library. So it
was concluded to get the books first and
build a suitable building later.
Mr. Clement W. Andrews OF Boston,
who for six years had been the librarian
of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology, was selected as the man best fit
ted for the office of librarian and his
services were secured. He has now been
at work for more than year organizing
his force of assistants and selecting the
necessary volumes. This latter work has
been done with the greatest care and
painstaking, and it demands just such
special knowledge as Mr.. Andrews pos
sesses.
When the library is opened, it is
thought that there will be So, 900 books
on the shelves, and this number may be
increased to so, 900 volumes before the
library will be compelled to seek new
quarters. The library occupies the whole
of the sixth floor of the Marshall Field
building and can be easily reached from
all sections Of the city. Some time in
the future it will be housed in a hand
some building of its own.
There are to be no works of fiction in
the John Crerar library, and all the vol
umes will have either a direct or an in
direct bearing on some scientific subject.
It's special field will be that of the nat
ural, physical and social sciences and
their application. This gives it range
from photography and psychology to
manufacturing and photography. No
attempt has been or will be made to OBJ
tain rare volumes or expensive first edi-
Io,7E hn licf Of
under each classification will be made
as complete as possible, and no expense
will be spared to obtain book that is
necessary to this purpose.
As the books come in they will be re-
bound in the uniform binding adopted
by the library, and in each will be in
serted the library book plate, which will
make the Identification complete. There
will be no bound catalogues, but readers
will find the card catalogue system
which Mr.. Andrews has introduced and
perfected to be a most convenient one.
Under this system each volume is cata-
logued under three heads-frst, alpha
betically under the name of the author;
second, under the subject name, and,
third, under the class name which log
ical and scientifically trained mind
would naturally make when seeking in
formation in any particular line The

drawers accessible to readers.
The large library reading room is
handsomely furnished in oak and leath-

to librarians, bat not often used. 1t is
very durable and serves to deaden the
footsteps On the whole, the John Crerar

facilities OF Chicago.

Death Come Quickly, But the Electric
Fluid Left a Mark Fourteen In
ches Long on Little
Amelia Ackerley.

On July % the Atlantic coast was
visited by one of the xiercest electric
storms ever recorded Lightning
played many pranks, but none more
startling than those reported by the
New York Journal in the following
words:
Of the many strange freaks of light
ming during Fridays storm, the
strangest and saddest was that which
killed baby girl nesting in her moth
er's arms aboard the floating hospital
of ST. Johns Guild down the bay, and
brought into the world the little
dark-eyed, chubby son of another
woman who was seated but few feet
away on the same boat.
All yesterday Mrs. Amelia Ackerley,
of No. COZ West Forty-ffth street, wept
over the body of her tiny daughter,
named after herself. Still dressed in
her little cap and clothes she wore on
the excursion, the body of the child
lay on table in back room on the
third floor.
The Ackerley family consists of the
father, a laborer, long out of work; the
mother, sickly woman; an 1s-year-
old girl, boy two years younger and
two other boys, aged respectively four
and three years. They have been Elk
ing out miserable living on the small
earnings of the oldest child Katie.
Little Amelia, three months old, had
suffered much from the heat, so Fri
day morning the mother took her on
the excursion, in hopes the salt air
would prove beneficial. The sail
seemed to do the pale-faced little one
much good, and she was resting in
her mothers lap, her head reclining
on the right arm, when lightning
struck the boat.
Close to where Mrs. Ackerley sat
slanting iron rod ran from the upper

Residents of Penitentinry Town Want
Ii Written "Ossining."
The matter of changing the name of
Sing Sing village to some other that
will relieve it of the odium of prison
is again being agitated. The president
of the village, William Brandreth, says
he has positive assurances from the
New York Central e. Hudson River Rail-
road company if the people will change
the name of the place the company will
establish new station on the prison
grounds, to be known as "Sing Sing
station" and use it only for transporta-
ton to AMI from the prison. The people
have grown tired of seeing in the news
papers that such and such a criminal
has been "sent to Sing Sing" the i'm
portant> word prison being habitual-
ly left out.
Again, large number of the wealthy
citizens make Scarborough, the first
station south, about l1s miles, their
station, and, coming home from their
business in New York, leave the train
ut the pretty little suburb and drive
home in their smart traps. The name
of Ossining, the appellation of the town
in which Sing Sing is located, seems to
meet with the most favor as the new
name for the village.
