crusade against saloons where women are

There is a very strong desire on the part
of the many people in Chicago to close
these places for good. that is, the saloons
visited by women Of questionable charae-
ter. and the crusade against allowing them

a week or ten days. L should say, how

this is the only line which has as yet been
taken up by the reformers. There is an

H. ]. HAYDEN'S DEATH.
Coroner Fitzpatrick Says He VIII
Make n Thorough Investigation.

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Coroner Fitzpat-
rick made the following statement to-day
concerning the death of Horace j. Hayden,
second vice president of the New York
Central, last night:
II do not care to say what I nave in mind
as the possible cause of Mr.. Hayden's
death. We shall make a very thorough in
vestigation at the inquest. which will be
held probably early next week. The win
dow was very low and Mr.. Hayden was a
very heavy man. He might have been ex-
aiming the pipe just outside of the win
dow and lost his balance. A slight touch
upOn his shoulder when he was leaning out
of the window in this position would un-
doubtedly have precipitated him to the
pavement below.
"Mr. Hayden was six feet tall and a man
of handsome proportions. If he leaned too
far over his weight might nave precipi-
tated him If he was seized with a Tempo
rary fit of vertigo. Standing near the sill
of the window and looking out into the
yard one gets dizzy, particularly when the
lack of protection is borne in mind. Just
as TO how death was caused / don't know.
I asked all the servants and they made
statements to the effect that Mr.. Hayden
walked past the servants room and went
up to his room and that he was alone in
the room at the time. / shall make a thor
ough investigation OF the matter and do
everything that will throw any additional
light on the matter"

condition, moreover, could not be long
maintained probably If IL were not for the
libraries in cities and villages. This is
especially true In New York State.
The work of many. and possibly Of most.
librarians has been more than doubled by
the demands made upon them by the wom-
ems clubs. Libraries furnish the books
which the clubs require. Librarians must
nave familiarity with the objects of study
In each club. and must make careful selec-
lions and purchases of books, not already
In their libraries. suitable to the needs of
the clubs. This requires not only study but
a large expenditure of money. Librarians
are also called upon to interpret or ex-
plain books by preparing reference lists
on club topics, carefully assorted by sub
jects. Often these lists are prepared at an
expenditure of much time. research and
knowledge In addition come innumerable
calls upon the library for help In individ-
ual cases, such cases demanding usually an
extra amount OF research.
