L'Ombre de Pane

LIE grand orateur ath6nien De-
mosth6ne plaidait un jour en- fa-
veur dun homme quill s'agissait
d'arracher au supplice. La foule
qui rempl'ssait le pr6toire 6tant
peu attentive, il s'interrompit tout
a coup. Les assistants, 6tonn6s, Sc
turent de leur cote. Alors Demos
theme Sc NIT a raconter ce qui
suit:
I'm voyageur allait d'Athenes
a M6gere sur un ane quill await
lou6 ct le propri6taire du baudet
paccompagnait. La route, CONNIE
vous le savez, est expos6e en- plein
soleil de midi. Notre homme ne
put resister longtemps a la cha
leur. II nit pied q terre ct s'assit
sur le sol a pombre de Pane. LIE
propri6taire de celui-ci n'6prou-
vait pas moins vivement lie besoin
de s'abriter du soleil, mais il ny
await pas place pour deux dams
pombre du quadrup6de. Alors il
s'emporta, d6clarant quill await
lou6 la bette, mais pas lombre. On
fnit par en- venir aux coups, ct le
soir meme laffaire fut soumise
aux magistrats d'Athenes. Ceux-
ci....
A CO moment D6mosth6ne s'ar-
r6ta ct, tranquillement, s'assit, en-
ayant Fair de penser a toute au-
tre chose. Mais la foule voulait
conna1tre la fin de l'histoire.
-Qu'est-ce que d6ciderent les
]uges? demandait on de toutes
parts.
Comment! s'6cria D6mosth6-
ne en- Sc relevant indigne, vous
6coutez dams un silence parfait
des sornettes sur Pombre dun
ane, ct quand il s'agit de la tete
dun homme, vous ne, me pretez
pas la moipdre attention.!
La lecon fut comprise. L'ora-
teur put terminer sans encombre
sa plaidoirie, ct l'accus6 fut acquit-
t6.

Committee Appointed by the Y. M. (
 A. Last Evening.

Committee Appointed by the Y. M. c.
 A. Last Evening. There was a meeting of the business mems committee of the Y. M. c, A. last evening in the parlors and about fifteen of the fifty members of the committee were present. The committee is one comprised of New Haven business men that was appointed to make plans for raising $50,0OO more for the new Y. M. c. A. building. At the meeting last night Wilson H. Lee acted as chairman in the absence of the regular chair man.
 It was voted to appoint a committee that would begin right away and can vass the citizens of New, Haven for the required amount. The committee ap- pointed is comprised of Wilson H. Lee, John c. North, Phelps Montgomery and Walter R. Downes, and the first eff fort of the committee will be to raise sic, 900 in amounts between $500 and $1,- 900. When this step is accomplished the committee will endeavor to get twenty subscriptions of $250 each and then twenty-five of $200 each.
 The list of the citizens that will be most likely to donate the larger sums has been all made out and the work in visiting them will commence Monday. It is thought that if the committee can secure the amounts stated the rest will not be so hard to get.

stead of cord in it's construction. It
 had long and heavy handle and a
 cover which could be quickly and se-
 curely shut down over the body of the
 net The open mouth of this arrange
 ment was placed over the entrance to the hole, and two men were charged to l hold it in place. The rest of the party
 went back number of feet and start
 ed to dig a long trench with the inten- ton of intersecting the beavers bur-
 row. Just as they struck 1t its occu-
 pant made grand charge out of his front door and landed full in the wire basket Later some of the beavers houses were attacked in the same way
 and altogether six live beavers were captured, which now live in the nation al geological gardens at Washington.
 Perhaps the most remarkable as well as the most breaking trip ever made in the attempt to capture wild an- imals alive was that which took "Buf- falo'' Jones and his partner thousands of miles into the frozen north after the young of the musk OK. Jones penetra- ted into the wild and uneXplored re- zion to the west and north of Hudson bay, where no white man had ever gone before He found himself opposed not only by the forces of nature, but also by the natives. When the latter found that the object of the strangers was to take some musk OK calves out of the country alive, they immediately showed signs of hostility. It developed that there was 8 superstition, in which all the natives believed, that if even sim gle musk OK was taken out alive to the white mans country all the other musk oxen, as well as all the other game, would be left to starve.
 After almost incredible hardships, Jones succeeded in capturing six calves. and with them he started back overland for civilization. All the way the party was followed by packs of savage Arc- tic wolves, attracted by the calves, and Buffalo" and his partner were forced to sleep in the day time and sit up at night in order to protect their prizes. Gradually they were getting nearer home, and it seemed certain that their project would be crowned with success. i They went to bed at noon one day. leaving the six calves tethered outside, each one by long rope, the other end of which was attached to a heavy rock. When they awoke they found the anil mals still tied by their ropes, but each 1 one dead, with it's throat slit from ear

should be ample telephone and delivery arrangements between the branches
 and the central library To establish
 this system would require at least five years. The average cost of the branch libraries 1t is estimated at from $75, 900 to $125,000, including sites and equip ment The cost of maintaining this system when completed estimate at $5O0.OO0 per year. The circulation of books for home use alone, in these boroughs, should amount to more than 5,0OoO0O of volumes per year and there should be at least 800, ,OOO volumes in the circulation department. with additions of new books and to replace worn out books of at least 10000 per year.
 With regard to the other boroughs of Greater New York, I have made no special plans or estimates, but have said that about twenty-five libraries would be required for them"
 Dr. John s. Billings said to-day: MT. Carnegie's offer to provide library buildings for Greater New York at a cost of $5 100000 is made with his usual conditions, that the city shall furnish the sites and make a satisfactory agree ment as to their maintenance.
 If accepted, it will result in the greatest free public library system in the world We may fairly Infer that MT. Carnegie's idea is that the whole system should be under one manage ment, that of the trustees of the New York public library, but this is not made one of his conditions.
 My estimate that it will take five years to provide and equip all the oullolngs necessary is probably a reas- onaple one but if the matter is taken up promptly by the municipal authori- ties 1t would seem as If this time could De shortened. The matter is so import ant that we feel assured prompt action will be taken"

 Signed: Andrew Carnegie
 Secretary G. l.. Rives of the New York Public Library association wrote to Mayor Van Wyck, submitting MT. Carnegie's letter, as follows:
 New York, March 15, 19O.. Hon. Robert A. Van Wyck. Mayor
 By direction of the board of trustees of the New York public library, Astor, Lenox and Tilden foundations, I have the honor to hand you herewith a copy of letter which we received through our director pr. John S. Billings from Andrew Carnegie, on the 18th instant. the day of his sailing for Europe.
 You will observe that MT. Carnegie offers to bear the expense of building a large number of branch libraries. at an estimated total cost of S5, 200, 900, pro- vided the city will furnish the neces- sary land and provided satisfactory ar engagements can be made for the main- tenance of these branches. There are no other conditions.
 T am instructed to say that if the city authorities look with favor upon the general plan, our board of trustees will hold itself in readiness to cooper ate in every way possible in furthering the beneflcent purposes which are the object of MT. Carnegie's munifcent of fer.
 Tt is understood that Mir Carnegies offer is intended to apply to the entire city The methods and agencies of ad- ministrating branches in boroughs other than Manhattan and the Bronx may we'll be left to be settled hereafter.
 T am further instructed to say. in communicating MT. Carnegie's proposal to our board Dr. Billings accompanied it with the following statement:
 "'In the conference referred to by MT. Carnegie, the suggestions which I have made have related mainly to free public library system for the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx
 T have stated that such a system should include the great central refer- ence library, about forty branch libra ries for circulation, small distributing centers in those public school buildings which are adapted to such purposes between the branches operated from the central building. | Each of the branch libraries should l contain rooms for from fifty to one | hundred adults and for from seventy | five to one hundred and twenty-five | children and in these reading rooms | should be about 500 volumes of encyclo- pedias, dictionaries, atlases and large and important reference books.
