TRENTON. Sept. Il. 1s99.-The members
Of the State Library Commission will
soon be called together for the purpose
Of perfecting the plan for the establish
ment of travelling libraries within the
State. The travelling library idea is not
a new one. but 1t was not until Governor
Griggs suggested that an appropriation
be made BY the Legislature two years ago
to defray the expenses of making the
equipment, that the people Of New Jer-
sey gave 1T a serious thought.
The Federation Of Women's Club took
a lively interest in the suggestion, and
it was largely due to their efforts that
the Legislature last Winter was Induced
to appropriate 81 800 for the purchase
of books and paraphernalia necessary to
the conduct of the library.
1t is the purpose Of the Commission
to send books of a miscellaneous char
acter to small towns in various sections
of the State where there are no circulate
ing libraries or reading rooms, and give
the residents the benefit Of up-to-date
literature without expense TO them.
Tne appropriation will enable the
Commission to purchase 20 libraries of
so books each. and the cases in which
they are 10 be kept. To secre one of

THE DESERTED CAT.
Rescue Work Among Deserted OF
Neglected Tabbies in Lendon.

1t Is said that the dog is the friend Of
man. and that the cat is the companion
Of the spinster. Certain it is that few
men care very much for a cat Probably
this is due to the fact that when at
school-be 1t public or private-one is
taught that the possession of a dog means
that the boy has thrown off childish
things and has become a man But there
are cats and cats, and some are quite as
cheerful and as intelligent companions
as dogs.
A visit to the batteries in Park Hill
road will prove to any one that the aver
age London householder does not trouble
much about the cat supposed to keep his
rooms free from the invasion of mice.
Rarely does one hear that the eat belong
ing 10 a spinster has found It's way to
Nc. so Park Hill road. 1t Is the married
lady who is so frequently cruel to the
eat. When a family goes away to coun-
trv or seaside and the house Is locked
IN. does one member of it think OF the do
nestle cat? A railway ticket is purchased
for the dog, but the cat must live. or
rather starve until mater familias re-
turns.
Yesterday afternoon. In the course Of a
chat I had with one of the secretaries Of
the home, / was told that during this
season Of the year between forty and IF
tn cats are daily found straying in the
streets Of the West End Some are kept
at the home for d few lays but the mas
iority are put to death by the most mod
ern humanitarian methods, and the dead
bodies are sent to the Dogs Home at
Battersea. where they are cremated.
Some Of the cats received at the home
are half dead through starvation. Others
are defermed and many have been mall
treated by uYchins who think It sport
to hit one with a sharp, ragged-edged
stone. One pretty little kitten taken TO
the home was In great pair, and on ex-
animation 1t was found that a needle had
been stuck In its uppe jaw.
Al cat becomes attached to a house. but
rather than tina 1t should starve-and
often die-when the house Is ~unoccupied
It Is certainly charitable to either get
some one to take charge Of It or to have
1t destroyed. and the mauageress at the
home can arrange for either Of these
means.

Lack OF Police Profession.

The condition OF affairs In the north
eastern section of the Greenville Police
precinct is of the most alarming descrip-
zion. Robberies and attempts at robbery
are Of almost nightly occurrence n a
reign of terror prevails. In one week
Ave marauding episodes have been report
ed from one street and as yet nothing
whatever has been done by way of
remedy. There has been no arrest and
no recovery of the stolen property.
Il is not believed that the problem con-
fronting the poiice~of the Greenville sec
tion is a very intricate one. There is no
indication that a band of foreign house
breakers is at work. On the contrary, it
is almost certain that some one or two
local sneak thieves. probably colored, are
committing the depredations. There are
signs that the thieves know the habits OF
the neighborhood, their work is clumsily
done. and the collection of booty is made
In a hurried and amateurish way.
The lack of police protection in this
part of the city is something amazing.
Not only in this portion of the Greenvilic
precinct but also In the adjoining quarter
of the C~ommunipaw avenue bailiwick,
the appearance of an officer is so rare as
to be an event calling for comment. Per-
sons living on a quiet street north of the
railroad cut solemnly declare that in
three years they have only once seen a
policeman pass their door. This may be
exaggeration. No doubt officers nave
occasionally passed when they were not
observing; but IT is a very fair indication
Of the state Of things in a large section
OF the city. inhabited by well-to-do middle
class people. whose houses are worth
robbing. and who pay. directly or indi-
rectly, a good deal Of taxes for police
protection.
Some sort of reform is certainly de-
manded In the section Of the city lying
between Bramhall and claremont ave-
nues. 1t is now practically unguarded at
night, and burglary and sneak thieving
may be expected to flourish until the
streets are properly patrolied-
