Mr.. phillins, Views Change

London, Nov 27.-The Rev Mr. Phillips.
American consul at Cardiff, was formally
received into the membership of the local
Baptist community on Wednesday, aud it is
only fair to say that everybody was very
kind to him, said lots OF nice things about
him, and showed friendly desire to forget
and forgive his denunciations of Cardiff Is
immortality and wickedness.
The attention that was called TO his
indiscretion evidently had Soldering effect
upon the consul, for in the course of speech
on Wednesda V he protested that Cardiff was
a town of which he was proud, and he eloved
1t more than any other, and hoped to end
his days In it.

The Rosemary Library.

To the Editor of the Dispatch;
Dear Slr.-A statement has been MADE
in the city papers that the Rosemary
Public Library may close on the LIST or
June unless its subscription list Is in
creased, and that 1t has an average OF
some $4,000
The fact IS that the library has an
endowment fund of $1,000, and has no
average. 1t sees its way clear up 10 the
1st OF June. :,
The Rosemary IS the only public IL
brary the city has. II has now o'Uo
volumes. and has recently bought
MANY new books. It is open from 8
A. M. 10 10 =. NJ. The library is abso-
lutely free. The circulating feature Is
g per annum. An effort Is being made
to increase its subscription Hst, upon
which it is so largely dependant FOR It's
permanent existence.
IL has now 225 subscribers, ana we
hope by the 1st Of June 10 see the NUM-
Der much larger.
The citizens of Richmond are asked
TO contribute 50 a year TO It's support.
IL one were to give a man -, ne might
be as poor I'm n week as before, out IL
one gave him a subscription 10 TINS IL
brary he would be giving boon when
might bless a household for year, at
least.
Our people do so much Tor hospitals
and other charities that heip inc pouy'
may not an appeal be made Tor assiss-
ance TO the main part or hiah-h'S
mind, heart, and soul?
I write this. because the statement
above quoted may do the library irrepa-
rable damage before its board can DC
called together. Respectfully yours,
