BUTTE PUBLIC LIBRARY
Much Attention Given to Read
ing for Children.
A TENDENCY OF THE AGE
A List OF Good Books for Young People.
The Ideal OF the Library Man
ager-Providing for All
Glasses.
A TENDENCY OF THE AGE

One of the most marked manifesto
past few years is the attention that is
given to the reading of children. This
is a very worthy direction in which to
direct the didactic efforts of the age.
Children's departments in libraries
school libraries, school use of public
libraries, delivery stations of public
libraries in schools, travelling libraries
and neighborhood libraries are but
few of the agencies which have assisted
public energy in this direction. Such
efforts are deserving of the highest
commentator and encouragement The
danger is that in many cases an i'm
preston gets abroad that the only use
of public libraries is to provide reading
for children and to make the children
read the books that the authorities say
they ought.
The true use of a public library is to
provide for all classes. Something
there should be that will appeal to the
youngest child and to the scholarly
professional man or woman; to the
clerk, the business man, the engineer,
the artisan and the laboring man.
Something that will help all the patrons
of the library in the lines of their daily
i work and something that will take
them out Of their daily routine and
give them that inspiration and insight
I into other fields of thought that we call
culture.
What we have above outlined is g.
\ high ideal, and probably every true
library falls short of realizing the as
pirations of its managers 1t is the aim
of the Butte public library to do ell
that it can for every man. woman and
child in the community. There is no
age limit. The parent is better judge
than anyone else of the proper age for
child to have a library card. And
no one is too old to use the resources
of the library. So far as we can, we
are lacking, it is easy to call attention
care for. If, in any case, such books
are lacking, it is easy to call attentino
to the fact, and the trustees have al
ways been ready to provide. as far as
the funds of the library will allow. We
do not feel that the Butte library mas
yet arrived at the beginning of its
greatest usefulness. But we do feel
that. not only its patronage, but its
facilities and it's methods, have i'm
proved every year, with an unlimited
field before us for growth, both in pow

The PAUL|ST FATHERS
Their Mission Is the Center of
Attraction.
BIG CROWDS EVERY DAY
Meetings Are So Planned That Every
One Can Attend at Sons Time.
Impressive Services at
st. Patrick's.

The mission of the Paulist Fathers is
the center of attraction in Butte these
days, and the crowds attending every
day are increasing in size. The fathers
are dividing the meetings so that no
men or class of men will miss an OPP
portunity to attend. The first week Of
the meeting was for men working on
! day shifts, the next week for women
and the coming week will be devoted to
those persons whose daily labors kept
them away from church.
Yesterday the services in Sit. Patricks

meeting. The music was a special fea-
ture of the day. This mornings SER

series, and next week the services will

vival, to which every class, creed and

ers are exceptionally brilliant speakers;

parish, as it will undoubtedly be the

daughter lost their lives, is still confined
by illness, but will recover.
The recognition of Mrs. Margaret
Auze made by the two employees of the
hotel seemed to be very positive. Both
recognized the beaded dress, part Of
which remained. Mrs. Auze had been
a guest of the hotel for 10 years, and
Trainer said he always waited on her
in the dining room. He identified her
by the prominent jawbones and by the
teeth. Curran also recognized these
features. Mrs. Auze and Miss Dora
Hoffman, of Baltimore, were seen, it is
said, to go to their rooms on the fifth
floor shortly before the fire broke out
Although the work of clearing away
the debris is progressing as rapidly as
possible, it seemed when the shift Of
400 men was made at midnight that but
a small part of the ruins had been re-
moved. An effort was made 10 pull
down the section of the rear wall by
means of n wire cable, but the cable
broke, and the wall is still standing.
Lines of policemen are drawn all
around the ruins, and the big crowds
that still gather are kept off long dis
tance. The streets about the ruins are
impossible and debris is piled to a
height of Is or 20 feet on the Fifth ave-
nue. side of where the building stood.
On the Forty-seventh street side the pile
of debris is even more formidable, as
more work has been done along the edge
of the ruins here.
The workmen have succeeded in clear
ing away considerable of the debris for
a distance of about 20 feet toward the
=. 81. to
downward over this territory to the
ceiling of the cellar They had struck at
intervals what appeared to be party
walls, and are digging around them to-
ward the ground.
The servants of the hotel were for the
most part on the top floor of the Forty
seventh street side, and the wOrkmen
have unearthed many charred articles OF
cheap clothing in this vicinity, and
cheap jewelry as well. which evidently
belonged to the domestics.
| 1t was estimated that with the speed
with which the work is progressing at
present it will be at least a week before
the pile will have been gone over, and IT
may be longer. All during the night
articles of more or less value were
brought to the surface by the work
! mems shoyels and turned over TO the po-
! licemen, who were stationed about to re
eeive, number them and take them to the
station house TO await some one to come
and identity them. All OF the most val
liable of the articles are turned over to
the coroner's office. Many OF the things
found are Of no value TO anybody, bur
are taken just as much care of by the
police as il they were worth their weight
in gold.

ONAHA'S FATAL FIRE.
Women Suddenly Hemmed in by
Fearful Flames.
TWO DEAD AND FOUR MAY DIE.

The Fire Originated From Gasoline

idlN That seven Women w ere Forced
to Jump Down Forty Feet.
Omaha. March 22.-Comparatively in
significant in material destruction, but
appalling in the harvest of death and
suffering was fire that partially de
stroyed the Patterson block. at Seven
teenth and Douglass streets, yesterday
afternoon. Two Of its victims have al
ready passed away, four more are not
expected to live. and about % others are
suffering from broken limbs and burned
and lacerated flesh The dead are Mrs.
Thomas Taylor and Mrs Anna Schamel,
while Marguerite Holt, Mrs A. A..
Smith Mrs. Ed Schiner and Fireman
VIII Guider will probably die from their
injuries. With the exception OF Fire
man Guder all the victims are women
or children.
The blaze started shortly after 8
O'Clock. A group of women, busy with
the affairs of the secret orders with
which they were affiliated, were in a mo-
ment brought face to face with death.
Sixty seconds later seven of them lay
burned and bleeding on the pavements,
to which they had dropped 40 feet below.
and the others were rescued after they
had been more or less severely injured
in their desperate dash down the single
flight of stairs that led to safety.
The FIRE originated from a gasoline
stove explosion in the rear OF the third
floor of the building, and next to the
elevator shaft 1t was not discovered
until it had spread to the adjoining
apartments and the entire floor was
filed with smoke and flame. About 90
members of the women's lodge Of Mac.
cabees were attending a committee meet
ing in the front meeting room on the
same floor. They were unconscious of
danger until janitor threw open the
door and told them to get out before
the flames cut them off. The warning
came too late The fire swept through
the door and down the single stairway.
Those nearest the door fed through the
binding smoke and reached the street
with hands and faces burned and blis-
tered. The rest faced a solid wall of
flames. There was a fire escape at the
south front of the building but none of
them thought of it. They rushed panic
stricken to the windows, through which
the smoke was already pouring. The
| fire. scarcely Il foot behind them, caught
their clothing and scorched their faces.
| In another instant the spectators, at
| tTacted by the clouds of smoke. were hor.
| rifed to see one after another spring
from the open windows and fall heavily
| to the pavement. Not one arose. They
were quickly carried into the office of a
| physician across the street. Most of
them were bleeding from severe cuts
and bruises, and all were burned until
their skin hung in shreds. AS fast as
dressings could be applied the victims
were taken to the Clarison hospital
Aside from the fatalities and the inju-
ries to persons, the fire was not a serious
one. The loss will not exceed $4,000,
fully covered by insurance.
