Acting Chief Allie at Work.

Acting Chief Allie is handling the affairs
of the police department like a veteran.
One point in his favor is that he is popular
with his men and is well liked by the citi-
zens generally. The only important arrest
made yesterday was that of John Taylor
who was shot a little over a month ago
by officer Morrisey as he was trying to es-
cape down an alley with some stolen goods.
Taylor soon recovered from the wound and
was then sentenced to thirty days in the
county Jail. Yesterday the police discov-
cred Taylor at his old tricks again and
promptly arrested him. He is being held
as a suspicious character Officer Sexton
has been designated as day jailer for this
month with Officer Hydock on the night
turn Officer Frank Crawford, who worked
as a detective last month, has been as
signed a beat in Albright.

Library for woman's Clubs.
Mrs. Sudborough's paper stirred up
great deal Of animated discussion On one
hand 1t was thought that a woman's club
should have a library complete for the pur-
poses OF the club but there were others
who expressed the radical opinion that very
little more than a dictionary and some ex-
elusive feminine literature were essential to
an organization OF this kind The idea was
expressed that everything that could should
be done to make the public library the one
great source of information 10 the public
and. IL possible lesser libraries should be
more or less discouraged; that is to say.
that no effort should be made by the
Woman's club in the direction Of a gather
ing Of literature that might in any way
detract from the value OF the public library
Mr.. Rosewater's remarks Just before ad-
journment were by way of emphasizing the
interest that had been taken in the congress
by out-of-town librarians. More than sixty
people Identified with library work through
