HAS MANY
Public Library N%umerousIy Visited
the First Day.

FupIc Library NumerouSiy vlSlteu
the First Day.
Having been formally dedicated to
the public and it's use, the library
vas visited yesterday by a large mum
Der of people who examined the in
terror Of the beautiful building at
their leisure and made inquiries con-,
corning books. To The Gazette Miss
Collins, the librarian, said that al
ready cards had been issued to not
a few Inc tudging~ffom the number
of applicants Received it would be
only a short time until a large de-
mand for books would be established.
So far only the books given by resi-.
dents have been placed on the
shelves, those which were bought by
the committee not yet having been
given a place on them, but will be
within a day or two.
The system Of cataloguing adopted
us one not familiar to many, but is
the one in use in all of the larger
eastern libraries and once understood
will be found to be simple and con
venient. Instead of the old list, eth
err written or printed on long sheets
of paper, the books are listed on
cards arranged in a cabinet, much
after the manner in which modern
newspapers keep their mailing lists.
A system Of initiating and numbering
enables the librarian to tell at a
glance the book asked for and it's To-
cation on the shelves and also the
number of it's pages, and if a his
torical work, the period Of which it
treats. Miss Collins hopes that the
patrons of the library will study the
system and familiarize themselves
with it, as it will prove of great conven-
fence to themselves and enable them
to acquaint themselves with the con
tents of the library and the location
of such books as they may wish to
secur
Unlike most libraries the shelves
in which the books are kept are not
! partitioned off from the public by a
railing and those who visit it have
free access to the shelves and may
examine books at their leisure, in
| stead of being compelled to approach
a window and make application for
a book and then find that it is not
the one they want. This arrange.
ment will undoubtedly strongly ap
peal to the patrons, as they do not
feel that whenever they go there they
are regarded as persons who are not
to be trusted and must not be allowed
to go where temptation might over
come them and cause them to com
nit theft.
Already files of a number Of the
state papers are kept and the tables
of the reading room contain some O.
the best magazines and other period
icals. This will be added to and in
short time it is also hoped to have
files of some of the leading newspa
pers of the larger cities Of the cas-
and west. On one of the shelves wa
noticed a large collection of city di
%rectories, a feature valuable because
of it's usefulness and without which
no modern public library is consider
ed complete.

CAR GOT OFF TRACK.
Blockade on Bainbridge Street and Street Railway Traffic Was
 Suspended

As the shadows of twilight began tc fall yesterday afternoon, it appeared that Montgomery was to be treated tc the unusual spectacle of one whole day passing without a suspension of busi- ness by the Montgomery Street Rail- way Company. But not so.
 Just before the dial on the big Capi- tol clock pointed to the halfway be- tween and ! o'clock, car on the Oak Park line came rumbling down Bainbridge Street. The rails were rough in places, and the car undertook to do some stunts in the street. 1t left it's accustomed tracks, and, after a shaking up the passengers. settled it. self down almost diagonally across the rails. between Dexter Avenue and Washington Street.
 There was a murmur of disappofnt- ment and uncomplimentary language among the passengers, who got out and walked to the city, notwithstanding they had paid fares to the Montgomery Street Railroad Company.
 Cars began to pile up In front and behind of the derailed car. and 1t seem- ed that every car in town was trying to join the procession. Passengers on the cars which could not get by the derailment got out and walked, and upon the abuse of citizens by the Street Railroad Company The blockade continued until about 6:45 o'clock, when the car was finally got ten on the rails.
 One gentleman. who said he waited a great while on Hall Street to catch a car to come to the city. said he was delayed at\the blockade. and. although he was in a hurry, it took him actually one hour and fifteen minutes to reach the city.

BRIBERY IS ALLEGED
sENsATIoN DEVELOPED IN
 OHIO COFFEE CASE.
Judge aAys Arhuekis's Attorneys Offered Him S1 900 for Jury. Counter Charge Drought by
 Defending Lawyers.

Toledo, O., Aug. 20.--There were some sensational developments today ip the case in which State Pure Food Conn missioner Biaekburn recently secured q verdict of guilty against A. D. White, a local grocer. charged with selling a glazed coffee manufactured by the Ar- buckles. The attorneys for Afhuckles went before Judge Mack in the City Courts before whom the case was tried and requested him to make tae docket entry So as to get the case into the higher courts. Jniae te.ek declined to do so until Walter Brown the attor- ney for the State, was present.
 A heated discussion ensued in which the attorneys for the Arbuckies charg- ed that Walter Brown the attorney for the State, ruled the Judge. Then the latter sprung a sensation by charging that the attorneys for the Arbuckles had sent three men to him offering s1,oca to let them have the jury and when he refused to do that they sent emissaries with the offer of s1.o08 to take the case from the jury. The Judge says he will. if necessary. make public the names of the men who made the proposition.
 To answer to this charge, Clarence Brown. one of the attorneys for tne Arbuckies. gave the Associated Press the following statement: T will esy that an offer was made to Us to secure a verdict for the defendant In the cot- fee case for consideration All: the price was named at which we could eb- tain a verdict. but we did not .are .o get one that way
 It is charged that the Woo!sois are back of the States prosecution of this case.

AT THE AUDITORIUM. Big Audience Enjoyed High Glass Vaudeville Performance.

Another big audience was highly pleased last night by the vaudeville bill at the Auditorium. The place is cool and comfortable and the audience re- peatedly applauded with enthusiasm the work of the players.
 Every number on the program was good. The singing O. the Nices. broth CT and sister. was one of the best. Miss Nice is a dainty. pretty little wo- man, who wears pretty clothes and has fine stage presence. The brother has fine voice which he uses with good effect.
 The monologue act of Edward Gray is as good as has been heard In Montgom- cry. His facial expressions are re- markabfe and he has a variety of dia- lect that is surprising. He kept the audience ir an uproar of laughter, and was several times recalled.
 The closing sketch by Amann and Miss Hartley was amusing ard well done. Amann is a good German come dian and Miss Hartley Is a pretty W oman with a good voice.
