Foot Cycling.

Calumet will have something entirely
new in the way OF enter ainment next
week when the grand opening ofthe Buff
alo Foot Cycle academy will take place at
the Light Guard armory on Monday
evening. Foot cycling has become quite
the fad in the larger cities and il said to
double discount roller skating which was
at one time the favorite pastime OF the
people here. These skates are something
entirely different from the old wooden
rollers. They are rubber tired, therefore
noiseless and have only two wheels to
each skate. Anyone familiar with ice
skates can master them easily. Skate IN

features will be eliminated.
They want to make this a leading social
vent and to see all the better class OF
'eople at the academy and will assure

Report of the District
Library Shows In
creased Interest
The Different Glasses Of Books
Prove 60 Re ofAdvan' age 20 the Large
Number or Pasronisers-Large
Numb ber Draws Last Month.

The report OF the librarian OF the dis
trict library for the past month presents
some interesting figures. The most in
terestipg part OF the report ia the kind OF
books that are taken from the library
and the class that is most read by the
patrons. The books are arranged in
sixteen classes according TO their nature
and OF the total number OF books drawn
from the library during the month about
75 per cent was fiction, but it should be
borne in mind that the term fiction in.
cludes most OF the children's stories and
Is very broad in its embrace OF different
kinds. 10 the libraries OF the larger cit
les it has been found that on the average
the percentage OF fiction read, comes up |
to 80, so that Calumet is really an excep.
tion in this regard and less fiction is
read than in most places.
The total number of books loaned dur.
ng January was 2,s27. divided into
classes as follows: Fiction, 2,133; his
tory, 142; biography, 1877; literature,
126; Juvenile travel, 1O7; general travel,
13; wit and humor, As; scientific, 81; re-
ligion, II; education, 8; drama, z; fine
arts. s; philosophy, 4; useful arts, 3; phil.
ology. 3; sociology, 5.
The report is very encouraging and
shows marked improvement in the
past few months. Each month is better
than the month before and the library ia Z
being patronized more and more right L
along.
The only trouble with the library now Z
the TACT that it does not have more I
han one copy OF many books, which are a
ust now in great demand with the pub
le. For instance, trere are a certain
lumber of standard works that are al il
'ays in demand, many times patrons
aye to wait months before they can Sc "a
ure the book they want. There are also
class OF books that become popular for e.

Charles Chipstani Brings One


There are several suits against benevo
lent societies pending action in the justice
courts and one has already been tried
and the man who brought suit against
the organization won the case. The trial
came of before Judge Fisher yesterday
afternoon after being adjourned several
times. The court room was crowded
during the entire trial with members OF
the society and friends OF the order who
we're anxious to watch the proceedings
and know the outcome.
It seems that Charles Chipatani be-
longed to the Society Tucana Guisippi

belong to this order it was necessary for
the member not only to be an Italian
born. but he must come from that part
of Italy known as Tuscany. one OF the
provinces. ChiDatani had been troubled |
Tor long time with poor eye-sight and |
was under the care OF the physician Tor |
many months. The society has a SEX
benefit which was allowed him aud paid
up to the last OF October.
When Chipatani put in his bill it was
rejected by the society, some OF the men,
bers claiming that they had repeatedly
seen the sick man on the streets in the
evenings and that il he was able to be on
the streets in the night be was not sick.
However, as was brought out at the
trial, be was i'll under peculiar circum-
stances. His treatment OF his eyes com.
PEELED him to remain in dark room for
month and after that the physicians
advised him to be out as much as possi-
Bile as soon as the weather was good.
But the society still refused to grant the
amount, which was S26.
Chipatani thereupon consulted Attor- c
hey Mcdonald and suit was commenced @
