completely equipped for the use of the
student, the lawyer, or the man of al
fairs. as is the Maine State library.
With all these valuable collections for
the use of our citizens, there is not to
be found in the library single room
or any adequate space where one can
sit down and consult these books with
any degree of satisfaction, and without
interruption and Inconvenience. Every
inch of space in the present library.
where a book can be stored, is now oc-
cupied. Every inch of shelving is now
full to repletiOn. Every store room
outside the library proper is crowded.
Under the laws enacted within the
past ten years the doors of this library
have been flung wide open to all the
people. Every citizen has had a right
to call upon its officers for single
volume or for a travelling library.
Every citizen has a right to send his
questions here for answers. 1t is well
known that the people never give up
right. valuable 80 privilege, once
granted them, but proceed to increase
the privilege and to enhance the power
obtained in the original grant. To
meet their wants and demands it will
be absolutely necessary to double the
number of travelling libraries in the
coming year: to give to the State Ii
brary additional rooms in which to
transact business, and in which to
store its rapidly accommodating vol
umes. 1t will be also necessary to
supply money for the employment of
two clerks beside the assistant Ii
brarian and cataloguer, now worked
beyond the limit of reason. The State
library belongs to the people. 1t is adj
ministered in their interests and for
their benefit 1t should be suited to
their convenience. Their should be
one or more rooms for study and re-
search. and ample space for the stOr-
age of books. There should be a
sufficient number of clerks to carry on
the library work faithfully and
promptly We need, at once. storage
room for ten thousand volumes which
will come to the library during the
next two years. There should be erect
ed before the Legislature of 1905 meets.
a building capable of holding 100000
volumes. which will be collected within
the next twenty years. Such building
should contain study and reference
rooms. 1t should be constructed for
use. and not for show and the display
of artistic fancies. l believe the peo-
pie ard the Legislature are now ready
to authorize such expenditure for Ii
brlry."

The following rescript was received,
Monday:
Knox cOunty-Abbie f. Hamilton,
Admx.. VS.. A. F. Poole, Per Curtain.
The defendant had purchased of the
plaintiffs intestate and accepted and
paid for 2-256 of a new vessel. The
plaintiif claims that he also purchased
and accepted an additional 1-256 which
he has not paid for. This action is to
recover the price of this additional
fraction.
The only evidence of any acceptance
by the defendant. or of any complet-
ed delivery to him. of this additional
fraction was the circumstance that the
ships husband had paid him out of
the earnings of the vessels three divi-
Gends which he had retained. These
dividends. however. were paid by
checks sent by mail, and no evidence
was adduced that he was informed. or
knew. or even had reason to suspect.
that the checks were for dividends
upon any more than the 2-256 which he
had bought and paid for. For want of
evidence the retention of the divi-
dends does not suffice to prove his ac-
cnptance of the additional 1-256.
Motion sustained.
Verdict set aside.
Received Dec. Is, 1902.

en- route from Cincinnati to Mem

boats and every available craft
from the city went to the scene
for the work of relief. Efforts
were made to catch the New
South of the same line at PaducaE

had passed Paducah upward

The smoke was sitting, grea-
clouds tloated through the blaz
