Information Furnished on Demand.

The demand for information on the Chi
cago Public library from all parts of the
world has grown with the growth of the
library, and from great variety of
sources. There is, Of course, limit to the
amount of work which can be accomplish
ed by the staff Of workers employed by the
library board, and Chicago people must be
first served; therefore, when the demand
requires much research and some copying,
it can only be accomplished by voluntary
overtime work of an employee, which
must be paid for. The charges in this
case are very modest. For instance, an
editor of paper published in Marshall
town, Ia, in the line of some work he was
doing had need of rather lengthy excerpts
from "Hansard's Parliamentary Debates. -
He applied to Librarian Hid, and was
told the matter could be furnished, pro.
viding he was willing to pay for having 1t
copied. This he was quite willing to do,
and one Of the regular typewriters did the
work evenings, and sent on the bill with
the work. The editor deeming what he
received worth moro than tho bill called
for, sent double the amount, with the as
surance that the matter sent was just
what he needed. Chicago Tribune.

NEWSPAPERS AND MEN.

The Latter Pass Away, hut the FORMER
Survive and Continue Their Work.
A question that will often be asked
is, "What will become of The sun
now that Dana is dead?" The inquiry
is based on a mistaken idea A great
newspaper is far more than an individ-
uality, no matter how eminent its ed
itor may be. 1t is an accretion Of years
and Of effort in many departments and
when it reaches the first rank has pass
ed far beyond the limits of single per-
sonality. Mr.. Dana was an editor of
brilliant gifts, man Of rare scholar
ship, but the time passed long ago when
it could be said that he was The Sun.
IL was indeed his aim from the first
TO make the newspaper greater than
himself, for he knew from long expert
ence that the success he aimed at could
not be attained on other terms. After a
failure to adjust himself to the newspa
per field in Chicago Mr.. Dana took
charge Of The sun, once prosperous
journal that had been mismanaged. He
knew New York thoroughly, called
around him the right men and revival
lied the paper IN remarkably short
time But while he gave it strong
personal impress he understood that no
man was necessity to it. The Sun will
are that it will keep step with the times
and brighten as the years run by.
The great newspaper is in some de-
gree the creation Of the public itself,
who, approaching its firm principle and
intelligent championship of the right,
make it their forum. A journal of this
high order and broad influence is inter-
woven with current history and has a
perpetuity like the tide of human life.
When it loses laborer of exceptional
ability, the event is deplored, but the
paper goes forward without missing a
step.
One days issue Of a newspaper is the
work of many brains and hands Like
an army, it needs a general Like an
army, it survives a general, and, as the
chain of human affairs is unbroken, so
the continuity Of leading journal is
preserved. Mr.. Dana had been gradual
ly and purposely withdrawing from
The Sun for years He travelled much
and placed more and more responsible
ity in other hands as he felt the increas-
ing weight of years. He had selected
and trained his staff and realized that
The Sun would survive him. He was
broad minded enough to admit that his
successor might even improve upon his
model and apply ideas that would be
better than those of one nearing the
conservative line of fourscore Unques-
tionably Mr. Dana felt quite assured as
| TO the future Of The Sun. 1t is not the
ordinance Cf nature that there shall be
an interregnum i'll brains and energy. a
great newspaper is not for day, but
| for all time. st Louis Globe Dem

HUNGER AND cANNIBALISM.
rhs Desire to Eat Fellow Man Stronger
~ Sea Than on Land.

~ Sea Than on Land.
Then 1t comes TO pass, when the mo-
ment of keenest agony Is reached, that the
starving man begins to eye his companion
with the wolf glare of IA beast of prey. His
pangs become paroxysmal. During their
greatest intensity there springs up within
him fierce impulse to Stay his neighbor
that he may feed on his flesh and Stake his
thirst with his blood. This terrible
prompting to cannibalism, IL may be not
cd, Is, however, rare except in cases of
famine from shipwreck.
Although il is customary TO regard It as
common feature of starvation and To
make thrilling statements of the fire.
quency with which even mothers will, I'M
der the goad of hunger, kill and eat their
children, and though startling assertions
TO this effect have been made by historians
of great sieges, yet IL ought TO be said that
as general rule, well authenticated cases
of cannibalism among civilized people will
be found to occur only at sea. They are very
rarely found on land. And, what is more
curious still, whenever famished, ship
wrecked men set foot on shore, no matter
how desolate and barren may DO their
rock of refuge, they seem as IL by magic at
once to Danish from their minds the very
idea of anthropophagy, or man eating, and
that, too, though they might have been re-
signedly contemplating 1t as an imperative
necessity few hours before
In the case of Ensign Prenties OF the
Eighty-fourth regiment and his compan-
Ions, who were wrecked on the barren is
land off Cape Breton in 1880, the differ
ence between famine on shore and on sea
is curiously exemplified. Prenties records
that they were able to endure the most
fearful pangs of hunger without ever so
much as thought of resorting to canni.
balism for relief, so long, however, and
only so long, as they kept on land. But
when they took to their boats-and 1t was
not once merely that they experienced
this-in order to escape from their rock
bound prison, though they were not a
whit worse off for food than they were on
land, yet the moment they put to sea with
one accord they began to think of killing
and eating one of their number. On the
other hand, when they found their at
tempt to escape futile and put back to
shore, whenever they landed the horrible
idea Of cannibalism seemed to vanish. -

Making Marriage Easy.

A London weekly says some wise things
concerning the need of an Ideal matri-
monial agency" for the timid man and the
woman whose manner may be mistakenly
interpreted as repellant According to
the brilliant originator Of the plan, such
an agency would not only serve to break
the ice between the constitutionally timid,
but otherwise estimable, but would also
serve to widen the circle of acquaintance
of those who planned marriages "of con-
venience." "For," says the writer, iii
there were no marriages in England ex-
cept among parties of whom each was In
love with the other, there would, we fear,
be an abnormal number of celibates
among both sexes"

HER HEART AND HANDS FULL.
She Has Changed Her Mind About Sleep
ing Car Porters.


A young English woman who has not
lived in this country long was recently
called west by the serious illness of her
husband. The summons came unexpect-
eddy, and she took the first available train,
gathering together few articles for her
self and baby. The child was only 2
months old, and the mother naturally
feared that the journey of "a hours would
be severe trial. AS she said:
81 didn't know how baby would take to
travelling and the thought of his crying
all night in the sleeping car was simply
maddening. We started at o'clock and
for two hours baby was quiet But then
he became restless and soon he began to
cry. l did all L could, but he kept it up.
The men in the car looked at us ruefully,
as if expecting n sleepless night, and
finally began to cry myself. / know it was
foolish, but alarm for my husband and the
trouble with the baby were too much for
me-
"There were three women in the car, one
elderly and the others young, but none OF
them offered me even word of sympathy.
But the negro porters were as kind and
good rs they could be. l didn't know
much about negroes, and from newspapers
/ had an idea that the porters on sleeping
cars were greedy and soulless. These Ger
tainly were not. The one on my car may
have been animated by desire to get o
tip, but all the others on the train who
passed stopped TO speak to me and to ask
If they could do anything for baby. They
got me Jumps of sugar and warmed the
milk and spoke so cheeringly that l felt
much relieved. Fortunately baby quieted
down in an hour or two and slept well all
night. Now my heart is warm for the
negro race and especially for sleeping car
porters New York Tribune.
