and wait for the public to know about
US, Many people stlll think, from our
name, that we are sort of Christian
association, devoted to benevolent work
among young men. To correct this idea
should be the aim of every well-wisher
of the institute. Friends can be invit-
ed to inspect our quarters and an oc-
casional complimentary card for a brief
term has been found to be an easy
means of attraction. Judiclous adver-
Using would undoubtedly help us, but
personal advertising is more effica-
ciouS.
In conclusion, T wish to thank the
directors for their hearty support, the
ladies committee and the librarians for
their faithful service, and our many
patrons for their loyal interest. trust
that the tide has now turned in our ia
vor, and that we may look forward to
O year of increased prosperity.

Lowered in Yesterdav's Dealings.
New York Oct 6.-The bulls MAIN

were successful in shaking out further

so precipitate a decline to point
where stop loss orders are added to the

Sugar, Chicago Gas, Manhattan, Bay
State Gas and the grangers were the
objects of the most aggressive attacks.
The lowest prices of the day were made
early in the final hour but the last
half hour of trading saw a steady
hardening of PRICES which materially
reduced the net losses

The announcement Of the withdrawal
from the Bank of England of $500, 900 in
American eagles for shipment to New
York had only a momentary effect.
This was notable as the movement is
considered the beginning of a steady
import. Sterling exchange sold at 4.S4A
to-day at sellers option for the balance
of the month. The ample supply of
gold at present in the country must be
accepted as accounting for the small
effect produced by the impending gold
movement. The New York clearing
house banks now hold S92, 1866, 100 in
specie compared with 500, 100 year
ago. The last of the first lot Of gold
engaged in Europe for import two
weeks ago has just arrived here from

Although the New York banks have
lost the last two weeks 6,605, 800 of
their deposits the specie in the cash re-

ing at the rate of quarter of million
dollars a day for several days rast.
The rates for money in the New York
market show no further tendency to
harden. London was a buyer of stocks
in this market to-day and statements
of railroad earnings all continue to
show increases. Nevertheless the result
of the days irregular trading is the
showing of net losses extending from

YOUNG MEMS INSTITUTE
OFFICERS OF THE PAST YEAR RE-
ELECTED LAST NIGHT

at the Annual Meeting Held in Institute
Parlors-Annual Address by President
French-The Field Covered by the Insti-
tution-Siight Decrease in Membership
Plans for Coming Year.
The annual meeting of the Young
Mems Institute was held last evening
in the institute parlors. The following
officers were elected for the ensuing
year, all being reflections: President,
James r. French; vice president, GEN
eral E. E. Bradley; treasurer, Samuel
Lloyd; secretary, William s. Pardee.
President French delivered his an
nual address, which is printed in full
below
The Young Mems Institute is ar in
stitution which Is doing a splendid
work, although Its aims and accom-
pishments are not generally known.
The institute owns it's own land and
building, occupying about thirty feet
on Chapel street, worth at least $1,000
per foot, or a total valuation of S75, 900
1t also has about $4,000 in trust funds
the income of which is used to pur-
chase books for the library.
President Frenchs address last even
ing was as follows:
THE ANNUAL ADDRESS.
The history of the institute for the
past year presents but few features
sufficiently interesting to chronicle.
Our old patrons have remained with
us for the most part, in spite of the
stress of the times, aud we have en-
deavored to cater to their wants with
faithful regularity.
A special circular was issued in the
early winter setting forth our musical
and other facilities, and the result was
an accession of several new members,
who were almost unaware of our ex-
istence. The publication of our new
\ catalogue of music and the location of
the Piano club in our upper room made
1t an opportune time to do this special
advertising, which brought us more
than the cost, as issthe case with all
judicious advertising.

Il cent examination Of the record of our

1t will be noticed that the loss in
membership has been pretty steady
&since 1898, amounting in all to a loss of
members. This loss is not
perhaps an unreasonable one when We
recall the fact that during thai period

has been frequently called for by pa
irons who send for their books by mes
sengers. Such an one as we need could
be published for 500, and it might be
well to prepare it IL the near future.
This branch of our library is more used
than any other, and new members al
ways ask first for a catalogue of this
department. 1t seems; to me also wise
to issue, at least three or four times a
year, list of all books added for the
previous two months. This would be
an inexpensive way of advertising, and
would keep us in closer touch with all
our members.
1t is my firm belief that the institute
ought to hold a permanent place in this
community. The character of this work
is entirely different from that contem-
plated by its founders, but that is due
to the changed conditions. The public
library is now firmly established and is
welding powerful and rapidly in
creasing influence. 1t is vast respon-
sibility to shape and guide the reading
of the masses. This we do not under
take. We can only hope to cater to
| the wants of people whose tastes have
been formed, who generally know what
they desire to read. To them we can
offer good supply of the best current
literature, with a service which causes
( them no delay, in rooms which are
never overcrowded. Our reading room
is always quiet, well stocked and well
managed, and our supply of periodicals
| is even more generous than that of the
public library. Our officials aim at all
| times to give every needed attention to
our members. Yet with all our facili-
ties we might easily lapse into ''innoc-
uous desuetude" if we relax our efforts

Murderer kpsey, VITO Killed and cremated
an Empioye, Lsnves State
pryeo1

PHOENIX, ARIz., April 27.-In order to
restore him to citizenship Governor
Franklin has pardoned Robert G.. Apsey
out of the Territorial penitentary at
Yuma. Apsey was committed from Pinal
County in 1890 on ten years sentence
for manslaughter. The crime for which
be was convicted was a most revolving
one, and the verdict of the jury has al
ways been a marvel TO the understand
ing OF ordinary men. According to the
evidence, Apsey was caught in the act of
cremating the body of a man whom he
had murdered.
The discovery was made by Captain ].
W, Watson, U. S. A, and party of In
dian scouts from San Carlos, who were
out after renegade Indians. When they
reached Apsey's ranch, seven miles below
the Deer Creek coal field, they detected
the oder OF burning flesh. In reply to a
question from Captain Watson. Apsey
said he was roasting q hog. "Rowdy,"
the noted scout, who was with the party,
declared that the odor was that of Durn-
ing human flesh.
Captain Watson ordered an inves,iga.
ton, and the charred remains of a man
were discovered. These were at once
Identified as the remains of man who
worked for Apsey and to whom Apsey
owed $780, The theory of the prosecution
was that Apsey killed the man to avoid
his frequent demands for payment, and
TINS was borne out by both direct and
clrcumstantial evidence.
