The study used by Edwards was little nook at
the west end of his house opening from the west
parlor There or twice each day he called
in his wife, and they Joined in prayer, and there
they prayed together after the children had re-
tired at night. Though Edwards usually gave his
evenings up to conversation on topics of the day.
his thoughts and speech always turned to religion
before retiring. On Saturday work was always
stopped in the Edwards house before the setting Of
the sun. and the family joined in the welcome of
Sunday with hymn and prayer.
In winter it was Edwards's custom to cut wood
every day for exercise. He devoted thirteen out
Of the twenty-four hours to study. In the after
noon he usually exhausted, and It was his
custom to take cup of strong tea brewed by his
wife. She made it point to save the leaves and
use them again when preparing the tea for the
evening meal.
Edwards never visited his people except in case
Of sickness and yet he generally liked by them.
He was not cOnversationalist, seldom speaking
freely except when in the presence of his friends.
Nor was he actor. What made his sermons i'm
pressve was not their rhetorical effects, but their
sincerity. His sermons were long, and in deliver
ing them Edwards invariably held his notes in one
hand. resting his elbow the desk. He seldom
raised the other hand except to turn over the
leaves But despite the length Of his sermons. the
records contain the information that the members

OLD PUBLIC LIBRARIES.

Though il is the popular idea that public libraries
are OF modern origin. there is proof that the Anglo
Saxon kings Of England were disposed TO erect
them, and works were brought from Ireland where
sciences had been much earlier cultivated than in
Great Britain. But the invasion of the Normans
stopped the srread of libraries, and the first in
England after the conquest was established at Ok
ford in Durham (now Trinity College. in the thir-
teenth century by Richard de Bury, who purchased
from thirty TO forty volumes Of the Abbot OF st.

POUGHKEEHSIE, N. Y, June 20
When college orsmen of Columbia and
Cornell looked out of their windows
this morning they were surprised to
find their race day opening with clear
skies and to see the sun for the first
time in twenty days. The wind was
hardly more than zephyr.
Never in the history Of Poughkeep
hsie has there been such a light at
tendance of college sympathizers and
followers as appeared in the hotels
and on the streets this morning. This
may be due to the fact that the races
are held late in the afternoon and
there is plenty of time for people in
the cities up and down the river to
get here by special trains before the
first race is rowed.
Four p. m.:-Cornell won the -four
oar race by half length, Pennsylvania
second by four lengths; Wisconsin
third; Columbia fourth; time .33 2-5
Official time Cornell 1924.

Rockefeller Said to be Investing
Heavily in Colorado Enterprises.

DENVER, Colo, June 25.-Coloraio
Fuel & Iron company's stock scared
upward on the New York STICK ex-
change yesterday, and as result John
d. Rockefeller is said to have invest.
ed more of his millions in Colorado
enterprises. The holdings OF Rookie
feller in Colorado Fuel & Iron stock
are already very large, and on his re-
cent visit TO Colorado he purchased
the greater part of $4,000 900 worth
of the companys debenture bonds.
Yesterday it was reported by one
closely connected with the company
that the Standard Oil king was the
principal member of syndicate which
had purchased bonds of the southern
division of the Colorado and Wyoming
road to the extent of $3,500,000, and
that this money was turned over to
the Colorado Fuel & Iron. If this is
so the company will have plenty of
finances to tide over its present af
fairs.
The Colorado and Wyoming road is
owned by the Colorado Fuel & Iron
company, and was projected by them
to run from Trinidad to the coal mines
and iron quarries of the company in
southeastern Colorado, and was built
principally for the purpose of hauling
its coal and ores to the steel plant at
Pueblo.
