YOUNG MEMS INSTITUTE.
New Books Fresh from the Press Deli'

New Books Fresh from the Press Deliv-
cred at Homes.
The Young Mems Institute library is
about to celebrate its seventy-fifth an
niversary by a most radical departure
from conventional library methods.
For many years one of the great prob
lens of public library management In
this country and in Europe has been
how to meet the large and increasing
demand for popular books without di-
verting the library funds from other
equally important objects. In the sue
cessful efforts to solve the problem in
this country two libraries are far in
the van-the Mercantile library, of ST.
Louis, and the Young Mems Institute,
of this city, more Familiarity known as
the Institute library.
The latter is now about to take one
more step in advance and will not only
keep a plentiful supply of these books,
as 1t has done for years, but will deliv-
er them to all parts of the city as fast
as they are issued from the press
How they are going to accomplish
this is one of the secrets of library man
agement, but that it will work great
good to the community and great
convenience to busy men is obvious.

There still remain four large windows
of the ten that have not been pledged,
and it is expected that before the time
comes to begin work on the windows the
entire ten will be pledged. The church

ready response from it's members which
shows the interest taken in the church
by them.

YESTERDAY MORNING.

Occasion of Much Interest and Much
Enthusiastic Feeling.


Occasion of Much Interest and Much
Enthusiastic Feeling.
The Twentieth century service at the
Grace Methodist Episcopal church yes
| terday morning was an occasion OF
great inspiration and enthusiasm. A
| large and appreciative audience assem-
! bled at 1890 a. m. to hear Henry H.
Benedict, the president of the Twentieth
Century Wesleyan league on the sub
ject Of Fire" One of our leading cit
liens who was present says: "Mr. Bene-
diet has recently delivered several adj
dresses, such as 1.-THE Burden LITTER"
1.-THE Ideal Pastor" The lecture on
Love" and his sermon on Fire"
which ought to be published through
out world wide Methodism that his
words might help move and mould the
thought of the century. Mr.. Benedict
is certainly 1.-THE Giant Leader of Lay
men," In manner he is animated and
earnest, his train of thought natural
and humorous; his expression chaste
and simple. To illustrate some partic-
ular thought he will lay science, philan-
thropy, art, history, poetry. and the
classics under contribution. His latest
production, given at Grace church Sun
day morning, on Fire" Is one of his
best efforts In it his own intellect and
heart moved, and his thought that
breathed and words that burned deeply
moved the entire audience.
In the evening Rev. A. ]. Smith
preached upon Giants and Grasshop-
pers." IIe selected as the text Numbers
xiii, SO: "And we were in our own sight
as grasshoppers." He said Christians
to-day are just as tinid and fearful as
We're the children of Israel thousands of
years ago. You have only to be large
enough and have numbers enough and
make noise enough to make men shake
and tremble as if there were no God.
Where are the Calebs; where are the
Joshuas; is there no one who will say
Let us go up at once and possess the
land, for we are well able to overcome
it,"
The annual subscription for the cur
rent expenses of the fiscal year were
taken up during the day. The whole
amount was guaranteed at the closing
service.

Angelo was jealous of his friend, the

more or less attention to Angeles wife,
and when they met on Easton street at

duel that resulted in both men coming
out of the mix-up severely cut. Fenni
was stabbed in the leg, breast and head,
and fell from the result of his wounds.
Angelo was cut in the face and head,
and was taken to police headquarters,
