Libraries for Rural Districts.

! Libraries for Rural Districts.
Millions Of dollars have boon
given i'll tho past year to provide IL
brarios for some of tho largest and
richest cities Of our country. The
country districts arc far moro desti-
tuto of literature, and genorally
quite unable to purchase it. The
American Sunday School Union con-
ducts its publication work, not for
money making, but for tho widest
usefulness, and proposes that ap-
peals be mHdo to onable tho Society
to distribute its literature in larger
amount and at lower rates to the
needy. Foremost among tho ncods
are:
l. Circulating Libraries for Rural
Townships. ps.-Appeals como for a
thousand libraries, which could be
wisely placed in thousand rural
communities in tho Southern Statos.
Those would cost from $50 to $50
each. AS many moro such libraries
could be wisely used in rural COM
munities in tho Southwestern and
Western States and on tho Pacific
coast.
2. Religious Reading for Pris-
ons.-There arc over n million of
"dependent and delinquent persons"
in the United Statos The Union
has done much for them, and with
the requisite funds can do much
more.
3. Helps for the Study of the
Bible for the Adult Immigrants
SwedoF, Norweglans, Danes and
other foreigners coming to our coun-
try, and tho new Spanish popula-
tions in Puerto Rico, Cuba and the
Philippines, call for special religious
publications.
4. Bibles and Religious Roading
for Homes.-Tho Unions mission
arios could supply Il hundred thous-
and non church going families with
q Testament or Bible, or with some
book filed with the marrow of the
gospel.
The funds, Of which only the in
como can be used for distributing
publications are: Bucknell Fund,
$4,000; Copo Fund, 81 1000; Liberia
Fund, $04G; Book Fund, $13,O1O;
Brace Fund, $14,017.
Ono-sixth of tho income of tho
John G. Green Income Fund is also
available. Tho income Of those
income funds is utterly made

ton Of the needs. At loast $4,000 a
year is required to meet the ordinary
calls, and $4,000 for supplying cir
culating libraries in rural districts
One thousand dollars has beon
addod to tho funds for publishing
and distributing the Society's pub
locations while this report was in
preparation.
Besides graded lesson helps, i'm.

IN VIEW OF DE VETS IRRESPONSIBLE
ITY, BOER LEADER REOPENS
NEGOTIATIONS

Cape Town. April 1O.-General Botha has re-
opened negotiations with the British for peace.
AS explained here, this action determined
in part by General Botha's discovery at a re-
cent meeting that General De Vets intellect
had weakened, that his influence with his
followers diminishing, and that a continu-
of the campaign in view of General De
Vets irresponsihility rested with General Botha
alone.
1t is understood here that, although General
De Wet at his recent interview with General
Botha refused to surrender, General Botha, re-
garding him Irresponsible undertakes to
negotiate in behalf of the entire Boer forces.
