Tastes Run to Science.

New York. Nov. "A most peculiar de-
velopment as to the tastes of the reading
public has been discovered on the lower
East side in this city. At the opening in
East Broadway OF the second OF the
Branch library buildings provided for by
the five million dollar gift of Andrew
Carnegie, Chairman Bostwick, of the cir
culating department of the New York
Public Library, read statistics covering
four years proving that there are twice
as many scientific books drawn in the
Chatham street section than in any other
circulating library in New York city. I'M
like the people in the wealthiest part of
the city he said. the population about
Chatham square rejects fiction to a large
extent and chooses solid information on
science ard other serious subjects.

Providence, r. l., Nov. Sat midnight
the returns indicate the reelection OF
Governor Garvin, (Dem.), by a greatly re-

Owing to the isolated situation of many
