A FORTUNE FOR RARE BOOKS.
H. T. Goodwin, Who Ended His Life
 Was to Pay $1so,oOo for Dickens.

From the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
 When Howard T. Goodwin. cashier and confidential man for Cassatt X Co.,, bank CTS and brokers, in the Arcade building. killed himself last December, with re- volver in the office of his employer, it was said of him that, aside from his stock speculating, his only eXtravagance was bookbuying To what length Goodwin carried his biiophilism develops us a re- suit of the cataloguing of his library, valued at several hundred thousand dol lars, preparatory to it's being offered for sale by Davis & Harvey. He indulged in first editions de luxe, rare works and extra illustrated volumes that stopped at no ex- pense and gained for him the possession of many notable examples of the printer and bookbinder's art.
 Pre-eminent in the collection, so far as actual cost Is concerned, are three vol- umes of set of Dickens for which Goodwin had contracted to pay s13OO00. There were to have been 15 volumes in each edition, with an extra portfolio of illustrations.
 When Goodwin committed suicide only three volumes had been delivered to him. They are masterpieces of the allied crafts. which seemingly exhausted their re- sources in creating these books to justify the imposing of such an enormous price.
 Other sets bear such names as the Elm pyrean edition" and the "lmmOrtals edi- tion" or the "connoisseurs edtion"--a gentle filip to the pride of the buyer and feebly indicating the attempts at gor- geousness and lavishness that are their characteristics.
