distinction of establishing the first

though other towns had accepted gifts
of libraries, and there have been in
Europe for three hundred years or
more municipal libraries, Peterboro
was the first place to vote money
for the formation and support of a
free town library. It's first catalogue
issued in 1884, consisted largely of
religious works, but there was fair
showing of works on travel and a
respectable representation of fiction
both as to quality and quantity.

MONTREAL'S COSTLY FIRE
Buildings Destroyed Vai-led at Al.
most $3,ooo,ooo.

Montreal, Jan. 24.-One of the most
destructive fires from which this city
has ever suffered began at 8 o'clock
last night, and notwithstanding the
efforts of the entire fire department,
the progress of the flames was not
checked until 1 o'clock this morning.
BY that time it had destroyed prop
erty valued at between $2,500,000 and
100000, and was still burning,
though the appearance was that the
firemen have at last got it under
control.
Included in the property burned
is the splendid Board of Trade build
ing, which cost over half a million
dollars, with over a hundred tenants
and half dozen large firms and two
scores of smaller concerns. Outside
OF the Board of Trade building there
was not a modern structure among
those burned. The narrow streets,
Anticipated buildings and the inflam-
n1able nature of the stocks they con-
tanned, made a combina ton which
the department was powerless to
overcome. The fire practically burn
ed until it came to an open space,
which gave the firemen an oppor-
tunity for effective work.

Place Until 1902.
London, Jan. 25.-An extraordinary
gazette publishes an order in council,
that sit is expected that all persons
upon the present occasion, the death
of her late majesty of blessed and
meritorious memory, will put them
selves into the deepest mourning"
Another order in council substi-
tutes liking" for queen" and ed
ward'' for "Victoria" in the prayer
book. 1t also inserts "our gracious
queen Alexandra; George, Duke of
Cornwall and York, and the Duchess
Of Cornwall and York"
The fact that the court goes into
mourning for year, and the further
fact that the public is enjoined to
go into the deepest" mourning, lead
10 the supposition that the corona
ton will not occur until 1902.
The instruction that the Duke of
York is to be named in the prayer
book Duke of Cornwall" seems to
throw light upon the much debated
question of the heir apparent's title.
1t was supposed that the title
"Prince of Wales," which belongs
only to son born OF the king, would
be conferre,. upon the Duke of York
by royal patent; but the gazette an
nouncement seems to Indicate that
this will not be done, and that the
Duke of York will henceforth be
known as the Duke of Cornwall.

NOT TO ne ASSESSED AS MERCHANT.

Supreme Court on Method of Assessing q
Farmer Who Fed and Sold Stock.
Des Moines, Jan. 23.--In reversing
the decision of Judge Platt Of the Bu-
chanan County district court IN the
case Of James e. Jewell, appellee, VS..
the board of trustees OF Sumner
township, Buchanan county, appel
liant, the supreme court, in an oplmcN
written by Judge Deemer, had oc-
casion to determine an important
question as to assessment OF live
stock. The case was an appeal from
an assessment of the plaintiffs per-
sonal property for taxation for the
wear 1893. The trial court reversed
the action of the defendant board.
which had confirmed an assessment OF
$50 head of sheep purchased for feed
ing and selling in the Chicago market.
TIE amount of the assessment was
SRI, but as petitioned by the plaintiff,
the trial court cut this down to $780,,
the proportionate value of the num-
Der of Sheep he had on hand during
the wear 1897. The supreme court,
in turn. reverses the trial court and
holds, under the facts stated, the
owner should be assessed for the en-
tire number of animals owned by him
on the first day of january. The
main question at issue was whe Their
farmer, under such circumstances,
should be assessed as merchant, I'M
der section 1918 of the code, and the
average value of his stock during the
wear taken as the basis for taxation.
The supreme court holds he should
not be considered as merchant.
