Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. pa special
to the Enquirer from HOpkinsville, ky.,
says:
Carefully prepared estimates of the in

the remainder throughout the rest of the

dollar yesterday in the local tobacco
market and a further advance of fifty

Bowdoin College Library.

The following concerning the library of
Rowdoin College has been issued TO the
alumni of that institution:
The library of Bowdoin College is end
Ing its first century. During this period
It has been the largest collection of books
in the State The Importance of this fact
10 our professors and students hardly
needs mention.
Scholars and investigators in other
parts of Maine have looked hither for
hooks not accessible at home. Too often
they have looked in vain; but, If unsuc-
cessful here. they have rarely found help
this side of Boston. This use of the Ii
brary has given prestige to the instttu-
lion and the reflex influence of connec-
ton with literary and historical workers
has been of great value. Books. have
flowed in steadily from both individuals
and Institutions.
The growth and consequently the char
acter of the library, is now seriously
threatened The building in which II has
found a home for fifty years is full to
overlooking. 1t can hold no more books
without turning students and readers out
of doors The alternatives are new
building, or a library restricted in size
and scope to a lower standard than that
of other New England colleges.
Not only the future, but also the pres
cnt usefulness of the library is threatened
by the lack of structure adapted for its
administration. There is not today suf-
lcient table or desk room for the stu
dents In certain classes whose instructors
require reference work to be done in the
library.
The danger of serious injury to our col
lection of 50 600 volumes, if not its total
destruction, by fire. will continue as long
as 1t is kept in rooms finished in soft
wood and directly above apparatus for
heating. which, at certain seasons of the
year, is pushed to its utmost capacity.
These considerations have been brought
to the attention of the board of trustees
and overseers. But they. of course are
unable TO appropriate from the college
funds the large amount necessary for
new library building. Therefore the Ii
brarian refers the problem to the alum
nj and friends of the college, hoping that
their influence may turn to this object
some of the wealth that of late is so
freely bestowed upon institutions of
learning. Within the last five years suf-
heient has been given to libraries in
Maine alone to erect three such build
ings as the college now requires for the
proper housing of It's valuable collection

Ready for Revolt at Pairos-Cabnet Crisis at

clamoring for food at Almyros.
( The Athens correspondent of the
Times says: The Greek army has beer
compelled to abandon Salogora and
Fort Imaret, the Turks having occu-
pied the heights commanding the lat

Apart from the peace negotiations:
the principal feature of the situation is
that Turkey is pressing reinforcements
forward and preparing for a rapid ad-
vance. Unless the Powers succeed II

Greeks are likely to suffer further dis
asters. The exact disposition of the
Greek army is uncertain, but, roughly
speaking, the first line of defence ex-
tends from Alnyros to Loucon; tht
second follows the old frontier and tn
third is drawn at Thermopilas. Fight
ing is probable within the next few
days, unless the Powers intervene.
