Proposed Gift scorned.

LOUISVILLE. KY, Nov. Is. - The an
nouncement that Andrew Carnegie had Of
fered 600 for a public library building
for this city brought out the publication Of
the following this afternoon:
In the judgment of the Evening Post,
Louisville does not want a Carnegie IL
brary' as n free gift.
Louisville is not a pauper city, and mast
not accept gifts from princes not Of her
own people
1T was bad enough to attempt to build
here a library by licensed gambling. 1t
would not be right to erect on these gam
bling foundations structure that would be
monument to beggary. Louisville is able
and willing to establish and maintain IL
brary, but ii will not build a monument to
Mr.. Carnegie, nor will it tax itself for any
private corporation"

DIR. Tanner on Diet.
New York Medical Record.

DIR. Tanner, who some years ago was the
hero of a fasting feat prolonged for forty
days and nights. Is still alive and well at
the age of seventy-seven years. The predic-
tion was made by some medical men that
his digestive organs would be irretrievably
injured by his lengthy abstention from
food. and Dr. Tanner prides himself consid-
erably on the fact that despite these gloomy
forebodngs his health continues good. He
is a strict vegetarian. arc thinks that
man can live comfortably on the modest
sum of 121z cents a day. Much OF the i'll
puts down to the consumption OF pork and
badly cooked food. He as wholly disagrees
with the manner in which hotel ana restau.
rant managers cater for their patrons. and
is of the opinion that the true idea of cook
ing is To retain the natural flavor of the VI
ads. and not, as seems TO be the aim OF tns
modern cuisine. to disguise it.
