Library in Rome to Be Scattered

In a few days the sale will begin of one
of the most beautiful private libraries in
the world, that of the late Prince don Bal
dassarre Boncompagni. AS his palace had
to be demolished several years ago in or
der TO widen the Corso where the street was
too narrow, he proposed to the municipal
ity that he would bequeath his library to
the city IL they would leave him his home
until his death. At the time the prince was
so years old. The city stupidity refused and
the prince, broken hearted at TINS refusal,
died a year after. This was ten years ago
and the palace still stands. as the admins
tration of the city was wanting In funds to
finish the work. The library. which is COM
posed especially of books of chemistry and
physics, in which science Don Dalddassarre
had won a great reputation cost $500 600,

The city auditor has refused to ap-
prove the bill of $3.50 presented by Su-
perintendent Foshay for expenses in at
tending the National Educational asso-
citation convention last summer. The
action of the auditor, doubtless, has
sound basis, and it will be likely to dis
courage future junketing trips at the
expense of the municipality. 1t will be
recalled that Mr.. Webb was inclined 10
put in a bill for $500 to cover his own
expenses in making the same trip. The
ex-boss has not yet put in his claim;
but whether it be $3.50 or $500 it will
doubtless be turned down with neatness

for the exercise of the greatest prudence
in affairs of national and international
