A QUIET CAMPAIGN.

South Sfders Endeavoring to Secure
the New Library ON Their Side of
Ii Creek.
A very quiet campaign Is being made
by a number of prominent South Side
citizens together with the members of
the Board of Education from the dis
tricts south of the creek to the end of
locating the proposed new library
building on the present site of the City
High School on Market at Twenty
first street. Their object in keeping
the matter so quiet is t. put the scheme
through as a sort of surprize before
any protest can be entered. The scheme
embraces a High School and library
combination building. Although in
cities of this size it is the custom to
locate the public library in the same
square with the High School, it is never
found in the same building, as it is
impracticable.
A gentleman in speaking of the mat
ter yesterday said that while this plan
might afford a convenience for the
residents in that section, it would be
most ~inconvenient for the residents Of
the other portion Of the city.

President Castro told the Venezuelans,"
said Mr.. LOOMS. that they and the Eu-
ropeans in Trinidad were at liberty to
seize claims in the Orinoco district on land
previously ceded to Americans. 1t was
evidently his intention to embroil the
United States government and force it to
make armed demonstrations, such as
would possibly lead to trouble with foreign
nations, owing to the large German and
British interests on the coast.

states government is concerned, has pass

exist can be settled automatically.

"A convalescents' dining 0 has been

highly satisfactory.

upon a suggestion which has been
made, to further increase the capacity
of the institution. 1t is to erect a
small building for nurses quarters on
the ample grounds. The idea has been
~favorably received. The grounds are
in process of improvements, as has been
previously published. A stone driveway
is to encircle the entire building, and
flower beds will be constructed, which
will greatly improve the appearance.
