IOR
THE LIBRARY
William +. SmaIIey, Jr.,
Makes Valuable Gift to
The Institution

That many citizens of Wilmington
are deeply interested in the work of
the Wilmington Institute Free Library
is attested by the several recent gifts
that have been received by this institu
ton. Within the past few days one
gentleman, whose benefactions are
many, has presented to the library a
large cray0n portrait Of the poe Long
fellow This portrait has been frdmcd
and now adcrns the children's room.
Ever since the Children's room has
been fitted up with pictures and made
more cheerful Howard Pyle has taken
great interest in the room. He has just
given expression to this interest by
presenting to the library a set OF nine
teen photographs OF his Wilmington
pictures. The originals of these pic
lures We're made for his illustrations
oi Woodrow Wilson's Life of Wash
ington" and are now in the Boston
Public Library. The set of photographs
that Mr. Plye has just given are of the
largest size in which reproductions are
made and arc admirably adapted for
framing Mr.. Plye has promised to
Sign every picture thus adding to their
interest and value The pictures will
then be framed and hung in the chill
dren's room making a special eX-
lhibit
Another citizen, William +. Smalley,
Jr, has shown his interest in the IL
brary by presenting twenty-bhree por-
traits of Delaware jurists. This unique
collection includes the portraits of
early members of the bar including
James A. Bayard, Sr., Nicholas Van
Dyke, Jr. and Caesar A. Rodney. II
Includes the Chief Justices of Common
Pleas, Richard Bassett, James Booth
lSr.. and Thomas Clayton; Chief
Justices of the Supreme Court
George Read Kensey Johns, Sr.
and Samuel NJ. Harrington, the
Chief Justices of Delaware begin
ming with Thmas Clayton and ending
with Charles b. Lore, and Chancellor'
Iof Delaware from Nicholas Ridgley tC
james NJ. WolcOtt The library is es
lpecially fortunte in obtaining this col
lection. They are now on exhibition
in one of the show cases in the library
Each portrait is marked with the name
land term of office of the individual.
A fruitful means of arousing the in
terest on the part of the young I'M TIN
readlng or DOCKS, other tnan llclOn, Il
by the use of bulletins on special top
les. That these bulletins do interes
the children is attested by the fact tha
lsOon after one is posted the books men
toned are scarcely to be found en- tn
library shelves. Libraries throughou
the country are employing this mean
of stimulating reading and the design
ing of bulletins is made a part of tn
course of study at library schools.
The library has just obtained froI
the New York State Library School a
Albany a capital bulletin board alread
prepared on the subject Books Abou
Dogs. In its preparation many pic
lures OF dogs were clipped from mag
azines and mounted in artistic posi-
tions on the grey card board back
ground. Decorative borders and th
titles of books and articles on dogs ar
printed with white ink on this back
ground The effect is especially pleas
. ing and it will repay not simply boy
and girls but teachers and parents S
examine this bulletin board

FIGHT AGAINST WOMAN.
Warm Discussion In Presbyterian A.
sembly Over Female Delegate.

Warm Discussion In Presbyterian AZ.
sembIy Over Female Delegate.
Saturday mornings session Of the
Cumberland Presbyterian general as
sembly at West Point, Miss. was who'll
ly devoted to discussion Of a motion
made by DR.. 1. D. Steele. Of Birming-
ham, Ala, proposing that the young
woman who was enrolled as a ruling
elder commissioner from Litchfeld,
KY, Presbytery be unseated on the
ground that both the constitution and
the action of previous assemblies for
bade woman to serve as ruling
elder.
The presbytery from which Miss
Woosley halls several years ago or
dained as a preacher this same young
woman. This was declared unconsti-
tutional and her name erased from
the roll. Members kept up the agita-
ton ever since and the presence Of
Miss Woosley Is plainly aimed by the
Presbytery to test another phase OF
the question. The debate Saturday
was an able one without bitterness,
and the vote does not settle the ques-
ton.
A constitutional amendment cover
ing the case will be sent down to the
Presbyteries and the knowing ones
believe that In the end the church will
declare against the ordination Of wo-
men to both the ministry and elder
ship.

TRIP IS ABANDONED
Serious Illness Of Mrs. Mckinley
Stops Presidents Tour.
GREAT APPREHENSION IS FELT
Grave Condition Of Mistress OF the
White House Is Made Known
BY Her Attending PLY.
sician.

A San Francisco special says: Ow-
ing to the very serious character OF
Mrs. McKinley's illness, the president
Wednesday definitely decided to aban-
don his contemplated northwestern
tour and to return to Washington d.
rect, as soon as Mrs. Mckinley Is able
to stand the journey.
The gravity Of Mrs. Mckinley's con-
dition has been known to the members
of the presidents immediate party for
several days, but had been concealed
in the belief that she would rally, as
she has done so frequently in the past,
and that with a few days Of quiet and
rest she would be restored to her nor
NAL condition. But her present illness
has been attended with entirely new
complications, which have not yielded
to treatment, and the president finally
concluded that it was time the public
should be apprised of the true situa-
ton. He is also anxious that the citi-
planned route Of his return trip, who
have made such extensive prepara-
tions for his visit, should receive
prompt notification Of the circum-
stances which compelled his decision.
A bulletin which Secretary Cortel-
you gave out Wednesday, announcing
the abandonment Of the trip, coupled
with another announcement that Mrs.
McKinley's condition Tuesday night
was better in some respects, but worse
in others, prepared the way for a bull
letin issued two hours later, that DR..
Henry Gibbons, of San Francisco, had
been called in consultation with DR..
Hirschfelder and DR.. Rixey. Ever
since Mrs. McKinley's arrived at the
Scott residence she has been desper-
ately i'll. Her extreme weakness has
been the most alarming feature Of her
condition. Her vitality has been at
low ebb, and she has seldom spoken
to those about her.
The strain which the president him.
self has undergone during the past few
days has been very great. It has been
a personal sacrifice for MIN to carry
out his engagements in San Francisco
in order not to disappoint the people,
but he has made it unselfishly.
Mrs. Mckinley has taken nothing
but liquid nourishment for several
days, and her extreme weakness ex-
cites much apprehension.
The members of the cabinet called
at the Scott residence Wednesday
night. They reported Mrs. McKinley's
condition as unchanged.
When she is conscious she recog-
nizes the president and asks for him.
She Is not regarded as in immediate
danger of dissolution. There Is no
abandonment of hope that she Will
rally, but In her weakened condition
there could not fail to be apprehen-
sion lest the spark Of life might go out

Pack of Wolves Cause Terror.

Pack Of Wolves Cause Terror.
News comes from Marlboro county
telling of wild excitement in Smith
vile township over the discovery of
pack of wolves. A strange animal
which attracted dogs owned by Dud-
ley Stanton,a few nights ago was iden-
titled as bear, and an armed posse
followed the tracks to the deep woods.
Going far in the underground the
posse ran upon wolf bed which was
guarded viciously by a she won. She
was driven off fighting. The crowd
captured the young wolves, nine in
number, and they are held as hos
tages Other hunters are still search
ing for the rest of the pack. There is
so much fear in the township that
schools have temporarily closed and
at nights the doors and windows of
every home are nailed and locked.
The finding of both wolves and signs
of bears has led the community to be-
lieve that other wild inhabitants in
habit the swamp lands nearby, and
IN some quarters the excitement is in
tense. This is increased through fear
that the maddened she wolf will go
trailing for her young.

fesses to Killing Of Clark Ayres.
The mystery attending the killing
OF James Seymour Ayres, acensus Of
fee clerk, in the Kenmore hotel In
because of the peculiar circumstances
surrounding it, has aroused Washing
ton more than any tragedy in several
years, was solved Monday by a volun-
tary confession from Mrs. Lulu l.
Bonnie, a married woman and guest
at the house, that the three shots
which ended Ayres life had been fired
in a struggle between herself and
Ayres.
Mrs. Bonine, whose husband is a
drummer for the wholesale drug
house of Dewitt & Co., Of Chicago,
explained her presence in Ayres room
at 2 o'clock in the morning by saying
that he had come to her room COM
planning of a chill and asking for med
icine and had induced her to follow
him to his room to talk over some
matters Of difference there had been
between them. She said TINT she
dressed herself in a wrapper and went
to his room. He had preceded her,
and when she opened the door and
walked in he quickly closed it and in
formed her he had enticed her to the
room for his own purpose, and said II
she did not submit to his wishes he
would kill her. Ayres, she said, was
undressed and had a revolver In his
hand and in a struggle for its posses
sion which ensued Immediately after
she entered, it was discharged three
different times, the shots striking
Ayres at each discharge, the last one
proying fatal,

MRS. M'KlNLEY IS IMPROVING.
Wife of President Able to Sit Up and
Crisis of Her illness
Is Passed.

A San Francisco dispatch says:
At 8 o'clock Saturday night Mrs. Nc
Kinley's physicians held a consultation,
after which the following bulletin was
given out:
Mrs. McKinleys physicians report
that she has had comfortable day.
But there is a slight rise in tempera-
ture tonight"
Secretary Cortelyou said no further
bulletins would be given out unless
unfavorable symptoms should develop.
In the event that Mrs. Mckinley con-
tinues to Improve the president and
his party will prepare to return to
Washington.
Sunday morning Mrs. McKinley's
condition was so far improved that she
was able to sit up a short time. Gen
eral Shafter had called on President
Mckinley, and while they were talk
ing, word came down stairs that Mrs.
Mckinley was sitting up. The presi-
dent at once asked to be excused, and
hurried to the sickroom.
There were many callers at the
Scott residence during the day Sun
day. There was a general feeling that
the crisis had been passed, and that
Mrs. Mckinley would continue to gain
strength. No definite date has yet
been decided upon when the president
will start for the national capital but
it is hoped that Mrs. Mckinley Will be
able to travel within a few days.
Secretary Long left Sunday morning
for Colorado Springs to visit his
daughter, who is Ill.
Sympathy Of Royalty.
President Mckinley is in receipt OF
a cablegram from the king and queen
Of England, President Loubet, OF
France, and many other potentates in
quiring as to Mrs. McKinley's condl-
ton.
Among the callers on President Nc
Kinley was Calvin S. Titus, the first
American soldier to mount the walls
of Pekin, who returned Friday on the
transport Sheridan.

CORN KING PHILLIPS.

Still Holds His Corner and Bids Cereal
Up to Sixty Cents.
George H. Phillips, of Chicago, who
has the supply of corn deliverable on
contracts this month cornered, bid the
price up to GO cents from the opening
Wednesday, which was at 54 cents.
This is the highest price since May 81,
1892, when the Coster-Martin deal
reached it's climax and corn sold at
81. The total amount bought by Phil
lips during the forenoon did not run
over 10000 bushels, which was sold,
mostly in small, lots by people who
claimed to have the corn to deliver.

Charleston Closed Tight.

Following the orders issued from
Columbia every dispensary in Charles
ton was closed. In the same blocks
the blind tigers started in for a rush
business, but before a great while
the constables swarmed down and
nearly all of the big stock purchased
by the tigers was seized. The raiding
was incessant, and drinks are hand
ed out cautiously. In many establish
ments there is no beer to be had, and
in other places the price has taken a
tremendous jump upward.
There is no intimation as to when
the tangle will be cleared and in the
meantime the state is losing big reve-
nues. 1t was learned that the orders
to close were issued without the
knowledge Of the state chairman,
who was not informed Of the affair
until later on. Many Of the tigers are
trying to get in shipments Of beer
from Atlanta, Savannah or some other
point in Georgia if the constables can
be eluded.

BUFFALO SHOW IS DEDICATED
Formal Opening Of Gates Marked BY
Military Parade, Fireworks,
Music and Oratory.

In the presence Of vast concourse
of people, with ceremonial, both con-
ventional and novel, the Pan-Ameri-
can exposition at Buffalo, N. Y, was
dedicated formally Monday. The day
began with parade in which there
were men from nearly every coun-
try in the world, and ended in an
aerial bopchardment from flying bombs
and brilliant electrical illumination.
Between the two were the formal ex.
ercises Of the dedication, with oratory
that took its theme from the lesson
Of the time, prayer for right, music,
song and poetry.
Two thousand troops led the way
and after them were hundred car
riages with the officials and guests.
Behind them came the concessiona-
ries from the midway. Western In
dians mingled with the children OF
the tropics, the orient and the Medit-
terranean and gave the procession its
truest touch Of color. They were in
native costume, had score Of artis-
tic floats and fifteen bands furnished
them music. The entry of the proces-
sion to the exposition grounds at noon
was a magnificent spectacle. The
crowd in the grounds at the time num-
bered fully 100000 and the greater part
Of it was massed in the esplanade.
The formal dedicatory services in
the presence of a crowd, limited only
by the size Of the hall, were impress
sive. There were strong words for
closer union among the American re-
publics and the remarks Of Vice Pres
ident Roosevelt on that point and the
congratulatory telegrams from the
presidents of the American republics
excited the greatest enthusiasm.
All of the American republics
were represented at the dedication,
and their military attaches and COM
missioners were given conspicuous
places in the group Of special guests.
Friendly expressions came by cable
from national neighbors, and the local
directors rejoiced in the kindly feel
ing and interest shown.
