Early in the present year an inquiry
was started by the New England Edu-
cation league to test the views of Ii
brarians, educational people and per-
sons prominent in public business and
other pursuits no the subject of cheap
book post
The reasons for the inquiry, says the
Boston Transcript, We're the prevalent
unequal library conditions found every
where. which, 1t is believed, a compre-
hensive carrier system would do mucn
to remedy. In Massachusetts, which is
better furnished with books than any
other state, a few poor towns, eight in
number, are still without libraries, and
in all towns libraries differ greatly in
extent. In Vermont more than half the
towns are without free libraries and in
Connecticut So towns out of 1863 have no
free library and so towns have no Ii
brary. These facts illustrate New Eng
land conditions, while outside of New
England the public library conditions
are generally less favorable. A cheap
book post would tend to diffuse library
advantages and to bring individuals
and towns within reach of good GEN.
trail libraries. The plan of central Ii
braries with branches and delivery
places, which works well in large
cities might thus be judicously APP
pied to small cities and rural sections.
Cost and taxation may be equitably
adjusted and a library system be de-
velOped more effective and comprehen-
sive than now exists. Newspapers,
magazines and paper-covered serial
books, sent out by private publishers
corporations, are now carried at one
cent per pound. Thus the people who
sustain the postoffice and library sys-
TENS. and tax themselves for their
maintenance, grant unusual terms to
private individuals and corporations.

In order to continue the effort and Sc

New York, Sept. pa special to the
Herald from Washington says: Consider
able anxiety is being displayed in diplo-
matte circles over what is termed the
nliberal policy pursued by the United
States in it's treatment of foreigners in
the Philippines. Although it has been
specifically stated by the secretary of
war that the statutes of the United
States cannot be applied to the Philip
pines without action of congress, 1t is
nevertheless a fact that the immigration
laws of this country have been extended
to the archipelago, as shown by the ac-
ton of General Otis in excluding Chi
nese laborers.
The custom tariff enforced in the Phil
ippines also has been a source OF consid-
cradle discussion in diplomatic circles.
Under the administration of Spain Chi
nese were made welcome to the Philip
pines, though they were compelled to pay
a tax, not because they were Cinnamon,

Great Suffering Prevails.

Victoria, B. c., Sept. 25.-News reached
here by the Cottage City that a relief eX-
pedltion has been sent by the mounted
police to the Mackenzie river trail, where
great suffering is said to prevail. The
last arrival from the Mackenzie was an
Australian named Edwardson, who, after
losing his supplies, was a week without
food. A prospecting expedition, which
returned to Dawson recently after 10
weeks on the Upper Klondike, Porcupine
and Stewart rivers, report that although
colors are found there is no gold on any
of the creeks Of those districts.

BUY A BADGE.
Every Loyal, Patriotic Citizen Should
Decorate His Bosom.

Great Falls, Sept. 25.-The sale of
badges to defray the expense of bring
ing the boys from Butte to this city
continues and the amount thus taken
increases each day. The committee Is
very hopeful. but at the same time is
prosecuting the sale to the best of its
ability. Everyone who can afford to
give up a dollar for this cause should
do so. Wear the badge so that others
may be encouraged to buy. A more
selfish reason for the wearing of the
badges is that it protects the wearer
from the importuning of those who
have the badges for sale.

BEHIND CLOSED LOQRS.

"Something surprising is going to hap
pen scon,' was the statement of a We'll
known Irishman last night at 1880
o'clock after a meeting of his country
men which was held last evening II
at which a large number attended be-
hind closed doors. The deliberations of
the meeting were kept a profound secret
but it is understood was for the purpose
Cf discussing the matter of how to best
give aid to the Beers against England
and also get in Il good lick for Ireland by
stirring UP strife across the line in Can
ada. AS nothing can be learned of any
consequence it would be hard to make a
prediction as to what was done at the
meeting other than if the season was
sun,mer instead OF winter the next three
days would see no less than 200 Anacon-
diam cross the line into Canada. When
asked what they would do there, one
man said it was a great mining country
and they would spend the summer pros
pecting for valuables. When asked if
the meeting was in connection With an
other Fenian raid they say not exactly
but the objects for which the Fenian
movement was first started are Identical.
No matter what transpired at last nights
meeting the people who We're credited
with being there We're afterwards found
in good humor and had considerable fun
at the expense of their Canadian friends
whom the former claimed they would
make prisoners of war before they left
Anaconda to make sure of at least some
glory. Amid all the popularity there is
unuuestionably considerable seriousness
behind the scenes more of which may be-
come now later III.

SEVENTH CASE OF SMALLPOX.

The 12-year-old son of Mr.. Thomas
Plunkett. residing at 6o1 East Fifth street,
is the last victim and seventh case Of
smallpox in the city. The boy has the
disease in the pustular stage. Like some
of the former cases a great many people
were exposed by him and the result can
not be predicted. Vaccination is being
performed on hundreds of people every
day many of the physicians being unable
to attend to all those who call. A pest
house is what is needed badly and the
commissioners are coming in for
just censure for rot providing one ions

GERS McMasters and Sullivan started out

physician, was notified and was ready to
exa mine the patient as soon as found.
After an hours inquiry the officers gave
out that there was no case at ALL. A
woman named May Kennedy, a former
.inhabitant of Mainville, had come down
from Butte last night and struck terror
into the other residents of the bad lands
over the statement by herself that she
had but yesterday been discharged from

claimed she never had the smallpox but
held there under quarantine. AS early

off their coats and vests and threw them

their arms SO as not to keep the physi-
clans waiting. All of the physicians are
heavily taxed making their regular calls

selves.

It was not intended to close tlll Friday. the 72nd, but ou Ing to the heavy snowstorm and the lnelemen: weather ensuing.

As noticed In our Issue of last Sunday, rigid ,xam- nation had been planned for the last week, and nn Monday morning the scholars were engaged for three hours solving problems In arithmetic, and in the afternoon were engaged at orthographv or penmanshlp. On Tuesday algebra and geometry were the subjects for the seniors and geography for the academic grade. Dr. Gordon set ,he questions, and Miss Lewis. the steno- grspher. had neatly supplied sufficient copies for each student. The results have been emlnently satisfactory to both students and Instructor. as will be seen by the appended report.
