Editor Ucr0id:-I heartily endorse
your plan for furuishishing libraries TO
the public schools, and will take great
pleasure in selecting suitable books for
the schools winning the prizes. Your
offer seems 10 me "a very liberal one,
and / trustit may be the means Of
giving 10 our children a large number
Of readable books.
Ofall our needs / consider this our
greatest. a library in each sch00lroOm
would awaken the minds Of the chill
dren, make them better students, give
them an added interest in the school,
make them more regular in attendance
and open 90 them world OF good
things Of which very few Of them get
even glimpse. And the parents
would also derive great pleasure from
these books when they were taken
home by the children.
Very truly yours,

Call Issued For a Conference Look

 DENVER, Jan. 1O.-Chairman D. B. Fairley of the Republican state central committee has issued a call for meet ing of the committee in Denver Mon- day, Jan. 19. This is in response to request signed by seventeen members who wish the committee to attempt to harmonize the two factions of the par ty, now divided on the senatorial ques- tion. It is said that an effort will be made by the Wolcott adherents to oust Chairman Fairley.
 Frank c. Goudy, one of the leading Republican candidates for United States senator to succeed Henry M. Teller, has issued a statement to the voters, in which he declares that some of the members of the legislature who were pledged to him have been won away from him by misrepresentation. MT.

AMBASSADOR VON HOLLEBEN. carried on the pay roll in that capacity. Oddly enough, the exact whereabouts of Count von Sternburg is not known at the foreign office, where it is thought he is visiting kinspeople in Saxony.
 The only thing the foreign office off, cials will say about pr. von Holleben is:
 'He has not been recalled and his leave is granted upon his own initia- tive. The government would never re- call an ambassador in the midst of im- portant negotiations without grave req sons, which certainly do not exist in this case. The supposition that the gov ,ernment is annoyed because the am- bassador failed to obtain President Roosevelts acceptance of the arbitra- torship of the Venezuelan dispute is wholly incorrect. Germany reckoned in advance that the president might have weighty reasons for declining; hence her note of Dec. g contained the alter native proposition to refer the matter to The Hague arbitration court. Still it was felt that the international po- litical factors in the case dictated the appropriateness of first offering the president the arbitratorship."

WILL ADDRESS MEMS MEETING.
The Honorable Ernest Crosby of New
 York City.

The Honorable Ernest Crosby of New York city will address the mems gathering in Jacques opera house next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. JufIga Crosby is so we'll known it is hardly necessary to say very much about him to create a great deal of interest and enthusiasm with regard to his visit to this city.
 Born in New York city MT Crosby was educated at Mohegan lake school and afterwards graduated with first honor in the University of New York in 1876. He served in the New York legislature three years, was ap- pointed by President Harrison judge of the international tribunals of Egypt. He is now president of the civic council of New York city, and author of "Plain Talks in Parable and Psalm," Edward Carpenter, Poet and Prophet" Captain Jenks, Hero" etc.
 Judge Crosby's subject on Sunday will be ''Tolstoy, the Typical Modern Democrat, or Tolstoy and His Mes- sage" While connected with the diplo- matic service in Egypt during the liar. r1son administration, the judge be- came so interested in Tolstoy that he made Journey to Warsaw for the sole purpose of meeting the count. He will tell of his impressions formed while on this visit. His intimate knowledge of the life and habits of the celebrated Russian together with his powerful manner of expression will afford thoroughly enjoyable hour.
 The Toledo O., Commercial says: "Mr Crosby is fascinating speaker and held his hearers attention from the time he ascended the platform His handling of the subject was most masterful, and better still, there were constant glimpses throughout the lee. ture of the speakers mastery of many other subjects of current interest thought which left the audience. de- sire to hear more lectures from thg same source.

POLICE COURT DOINGs
Cook Made a Racket Last Night and
 Settled for S1O To-day.


 James Nichols, colored, employed on South Main street, went on the ram- page last night because his wife locked him out. The woman went to her par ents' house and Nichols followed her. There they had a controversy and Nichols plucked a revolver from a hip pocket and scared the wits out of his father-in-law. He was arrested, but he was very sorry this morning. His wife and her father made him make a lot of good promises and were satis. ned that the case should be settled for $1O.
 Bernard Dressel, who has a long rec ord in the court, was charged with in, toxication. He looked to be on the verge of delirium tremens, and Judge Peasley considered thirty days in jail would do him good.
 Patrick Hayes of the West End was also sent to jail for thirty days for in- toxication.
