ADDRESS ON LIBRARIES
To BE Delivered Next Friday by Mel
vii Dewey, Director of the state
Library OF New York.

To he Delivered Next Friday by Mel
VII Dewey, Director of the state
Library OF New York.
The free public library commission of
the state has issued the following circular:
"Mr. Melvll Dewey, secretary of uni
versity, director of state library Of the
state of New York, is to deliver an address
on travelling libraries and library interests
in general, at the meeting of the State
Teachers association at Bratteboro,
Nov. 3, at 3 z. NJ. You are earnest
ly requested TO be present at the meeting
and also TO urge all interested in the pro-
motion of library matters in this state to
attend. 1t is to Mr. Dewey more than to
any other individual, that 'the wonderful
growth of the library idea in this country
during the last ten years is due, and a talk
from him cannot fail of being both practi-
cal and inspiring. While Vermont has
many libraries which are credit to the
state, and while the law providing for the
state aid has helped many towns, there
still remains much to be done, not only in
further aiding and encouraging the strug-
Cling libraries already established, but in
awakening an interest in places not yet
aroused to realizing sense or the benefits
to be- derived from free library"
The subject of Mr.. Dewey's address as
announced will be 1.-THE place of the Ii.
braIy in modern education and its right to
public support.

Horace L.. Hastings Dead.

The venerable Horace L. Hastings.
editor of the Chrstion, Boston publca-
ton, died Friday, of typhoid fever at his
country home at Goshen, west of Mort
hampton, Mass. He was the author of
many books and hymns, among them:
"Shall we meet beyond the river
Where the surges cease to rolls"
He was born Nov. 20, 1881. He was
married Oct u, 1858, to Harriet Frances
Barnett of Moretown, Vt, who has proved
fit help and an earnest co worker in all
departments of Christian labor. Her
''Pebbles from the Path of Pilgrim" a
book full of interesting incidents, gives
some insight into the methods pursued by
these workers. Mr.. Hastings is well re-
membered in Brattleboro through his ad-
dress at one of the Y. NJ. G. A. open air
meetings held on the common few years
ago.

Vice President Kruttschnitt. who arrived
In the city last Saturday in his special
car from New Orleans. accompanied BY
General Manager Van Week, is still here
and his car with attendants is on a side
track near the Grand Central depot. The
car, is elegantly fitted UP with kitchen,
dining and sleeping apartments, which,
together with very elaborate drawing
room. Is one OF the hRndsomest in de.
tail and design ever seen here. An attempt
was made to interview the distinguished

ness of an important nature which claimed
his attention prevented an audience ON
the subject. Manager Van Week was To-
Gated at his office. but an indispositior,
consequent upon a threatened attack OF
grip, prevented an outline of his ideas
on the subject. His chief clerk, W. G.
Lane, however. who appears thoroughly

agement, said that 1t was the desire of
the company to extend the line from
Rocknprt to Kemp, and application had
been made to the authorities at Austin
to do so. 1t Will be necessary, however
for the incoming legislature to make GER
tain modification of laws governing the
extension OF railroads before the project
can be determined upon as "a certainty
and proper notification will have to be
made to the county authorities Of the
through which the extension will
run. No doubt they will gladly welcome
a railroad outlet for their farm and lumber
products, but agreeable to law the for
maIity of notification will have to be
resorted to. The company Is ready to exc
cute its part In the increase OF mileage,
and 1t only rests with the State govern
ment to sanction 1t by proper modifica-
ton of the laws In the case Of additional
road building.
This would give Beaumont the decided
advantage OF a direct air line to North
Texas, connecting with the Texas Trunk,
and through 1t the other important lines.
and the advantage of uniting by rail North
and South Texas in the Eastern part of
the State can readily be appreciated with
the good results for increased trade that
will naturally follow.

Hampstead, Texas January a.--The pros
posed reorganization and extension OF the
Texas Western has been subject Of dis
cussion for some time past. A representa-
tive Of tho prospective road has been here
time and again and 1t has been understood
that Hampstead is preferred as passing

Hampstead has been passive In the matter
and everything indicates that no bonus

perhaps Of the right oil way.s Merchants
here contend that an additional road would
not add much to the city's trade, but
that more than likely one or two towns
would spring up north and south, which
would In time become competing business
points. There are a dozen towns in this
State which were good business points
with one road and which paid a big sum
of money for another only to fnd In course
OF time their trade split up by new neigh
boring towns, creatures of their own en-
