After the matter of locating the Car
negie library building had been taken
up by the city council and the city lots
on State and Center streets decided
upon, word was received from Mrs. c.
III. Conover, of Chicago, in a personal
letter to a friend, that she would give
if desired. a lot 60x120 feet east of the
Boardman home on East Main for the
library building. This would have made
fine location provided one more CEN
trail could not have bdrn secured, and
the people of the city very much appre-
ciate Mrs. Conover's generosity.

TO the expediency Of this Improvement

the debt of the district Is further re-

the district debt, several thousand dol

auently, now that the pleasant weather
is here. The directors would feel highly
pleased with such visits. while the dis
play of interest would be greatly en-
couraged in their efforts. The assur-
ance can be given that hospitable re-
ception awaits every one who may visit
the farm, as the steward and matron
are famed for their warm-hearted hos
pitality. On the other hand. the iil-
mates would be greatly cheered. The
party that visited the farm on Tues
day spread Il good deal OF sunshine
among the inmates the entertainment
that was provided. such as 1t was, en-
livening every one and making them
feel that everything was not sad and

AT THE POOR FARM.
What Visitor May See on a Trip
to the Almshouse,

AS indicated in The Tribune. We'd
nesday, the cheerful tone of the sur
roundingS of the inmates at the Car
bOndale almshOuse in Greenfield was q
refreshing surprise to the representa-
tives OF the press who accompanied the
directors on their Inspection.
In placing credit for these conditions
Il big share must be bestowed ON Stew
ard Jerry Clune. and Mrs. Clune, the
matron. No more conscientious pair
could hardly be found, While the inter-
est they take in the welfare of the in
mates is quite parental. The sixteen
inmates all readily testify to this fact,
and all who We're able to express them
selves We're profuse in their ucknowl-
edgment of how Mr.. and Mrs. Clune
tended to their wants and looked after
their comforts. The look of cheerful
contentment on their faces reflected
their feelings. The directors likewise
shared in the grateful acknowledgements
of the inmates.
Aside from their hospitable care of
the inmates. Mr.. and Mrs. Clune are
valuable factors in the administration
of the affairs of the poor district by
reason of their knowledge of agrcul-
tural pursuits. Both are so qualified in
this direction that the highest results
have followed their stay at the farm.
For the first time in years there is now
considerable revenue from the sale of
farm produce. One item alone, the sale
of $50 pounds OF butter last year. will
suffice 10 show the results of their
labors. This is all the worthy of notice,
when it is recalled that the farm is
quite barren and is far from desirable
for the purposes for which it is in
tended. 1t would be Il wise thing to
dispose of the farm ana procure IL more
favorable place, If only Il half-decent
price could be secured. The stock on
the farm was found to he in exceptions
ally fine condition, and was the subject
of much favorable comment from the
directors.
The watchfulness and economy of the
present poor board are SO well estab-
lished that 1t is not necessary to dilate
on them at this time, But the improve
ments which have been made ut the
farm and amshouse the past year call
for more than passing notice. The most
important of these Is the sanitary sys-
TEN of plumbing that was installed in
the almshouse last fall. There was a
woeful condition of affairs before this
change, and this one Improvement
alone could be considered worthy
achievement. The water for the system
is supplied from II dam that provides
pressure as strong as in certain parts
of this city. The dam was built by
order of the directors, the supply being
furnished by springs, whose source is
about 1 pO0 Narls hack nf tba n Inns

We're made about the almshouse which
had been sorely neglected.

Trenton Paper.

Albert Il. Jones. one of the proprietors
of the Saturday Review, the smart
weekly publication, has received n
flattering offer from one of the Trenton
dailies, which seems too tempting TO re-
ject.
The offer asks Mr.. Jones to accept
the position of advertising manager. at
u salary that does not usually go with
such positions. The paper Is the Oldest
established in Trenton and leads the
other papers in force and prestige. The
work is what Mr.. Jones Is happily
adapted to, having proved his success
in the field not alone at home. but
abroad. He has not decided as vet as
to the acceptance of the offer, but it
would not be surprising if he should
decide to go to Trenton. as there are
opportunities there which could not be
expected in Carbondale, no matter how
favorable things may be here.

ABANDONED HIS FAMILY.
Fsank Lamoreaux Writes Note to
His Wife That She Can Sell House
hold Goods and Leaves Town In
Her Absence-Familyi in Want.

Frank w. LamoreauX. teamster,
whose home was ut the corner OF Arch
bald street and Tenth avenue. aban-
doned his family on Saturday morning,
departing from the city, leaving MS
wife and children in distressingly des-
titute circumstances.
I.amoreaux was employed as team
ster for Patrick McGarry, the coal
dealer. On Friday he received MS
monthly wages. and during the day
visiting the stores where he traded, he
settled his accounts.
That night Mrs. LamoreauX went TO
the assistance of a sick neighbor re-
manning at her bedside until morning.
Lamoreaux. himself, arose earlier than
was his custom, and arousing his young
son, rather hurried him off to work
before his usual leaving hour When
the lad was gone, the father packed
his belongings, that is his clothing, old
and new, into a grip. and without any
intimation to the neighbors he depart
ed.
I, Mrs, LamOreauX, returning some tinle
afterwards, expected to find her nus
band at home. But the house was de-
serted. She was somewhat disturbed,
but her real dismay came when she
found a note in her husbands hand
writing, lying in conspicuous place
in the room. In substance the note
said that her husband was going away
from her. and that she could sell the
'things," meaning the household goods
When Mrs. Lamoreaux recovered, she
notified relatives, who began to trace
the missing husband. Inquiry was
made at the railroad stations. but there
was no knowledge there that he had
purchased a ticket. The suppostion is
that LamereauX left town via the
trolley. ";
LamereauX's motive in going away is
not known. None Of his relatives can
explain his action. His family sorely
need his support. as he earned only
sufficient to meet his needs, and was
obliged to somewhat limit his wants.
Nothing has been heard from him since
his departure.
