"A library 10 garden" the aspira-
ton OF nn old scholar who loved ma.
ture as well as books. is In a fair way
to be realized for everybody In Brook
lyn. By the cooperation OF the public
library and the park commission there
were reading rooms and libraries In
three of the Brooklyn parks during
the summer. and one OF them was
visited by more than 5000 persons in
a month. People who used to sl,
around stupidity half asleep. read
while enjoying the peace and quiet
OF the place, and children found some
thing to do beside playing until they
were tired and quarrelsome. They all
are to be congratulated. but equally
warm congratulations are due to the
public library, which has found one
more way to fulhli its mission OF
reaching the public.

CUBA IS PROSPEROUS AND
HER PEOPLE ARE CONTENTED

Washington. Oct. 25.--The condi-
tion of the people of the island of Cuba
TO the best of my knowledge and be-
lief Is one of content They realize
that wonderful progress has been made
and they feel as people kindly to-
ward and have faith in the people Of
the United States
This statement is made by Major
General Leonard Wood commanding
the division of Cuba. In an extract
from his annual civil report relative
to the administration OF Cuba. made
public by the War Department TO day,
Is n statement showing that n remark
able advance has been made by Cuba
during the last year Hospitals have
been established in every important
town. nsyiums have been provided for
orphan children. 5000 schools have
been established. $500 teachers, most
of whom receive higher wages than
teachers of corresponding grades in the
United States. are employed and there
are 10000 scholars where. under Span
ish administration. there We're not more
than 10000 children attending schools,
General Wood calls attention to the
fact that the two southern provinces
for the first time are free from yellow
fever and In general there has been 4
great improvement In health through
out the island. Seven hundred miles
Of railroad have been constructed dur
ing the year. bridges have been re-
built, streets paved and millions of dol
lars have been spent on public works.
yet there is a surplus of $1.50O.OOO in
the Cuban treasury. General Wood

Denver, Colo. Oct 20.--The first pol
Of the state has been taken, and very
completely and thoroughly In mos,
counties. II is possible now sor the
state committee to form some estimate
OF the possible results. The commit
tee Is not OF course giving ont exac,
figures. but 1t may he safely said that
the poll shows majority for the Re
publicans. Doubtless the Democratic
poll shows majority for :hc fusion
lists: preliminary canyasses are always
colored more o. less by the preferences
Of the canyassers, even though they
mny try to be Us exact as possible. II
is safe to assume at least that the Re
publican canvassers are as accurate
as the fusionists'. and on this assump.
ton the state Is very close. The tide,
however. is still running toward the
Republicans, and in the two weeks re-
naming before election day II Is prob
able that the doubtful voters will
come more and more to the Republican
side.

self. because II Is the largest county
and Its vote may be decisive. Is Arap-
ahoe. The results OF the registration
show a Republican majority in this
county OF about 5000. To overcome
this the fusionists are relying upon the
police force. upon their trained force
OF repeaters, and upon fraud In the
count The Republican managers are
fully aware of this. and have taken
measures which they believe will be
entirely effective to meet any Demo
cratic force or fraud. They are sure
that there Will be fair vote. and hon
