BEST OF RECENT WORKS
Patronage Given Last Month Shows
Considerable Increase Over the
One Preceding.

In the experience Of libraries the
demand for reading matter usually
declines with the coming OF the warm
weather, but the rule does not seem
to hold good in the case Of the Parm-
ly Billings Memorial library, where
the book loans for the month of June
numbered 1,427, about SO in excess
of the preceding month. The demand
has been for the lighter reading, more
fiction being read during the spring
and summer months.

ing. Death was caused by rheumatism

sary to hold an inquest. Meter was

Billings something like a year and
a half ago. His parents reside at
Prairie Grove, Ark. They have been

Their instructions from them the body
has been kept at the morgue.

Mrs. Davidson. The father and
q policeman interfered and en-
tered a strong protest against
such an arrangement, for al
though married, Mrs. Grady is still
a minor and therefore subject to
parental control. After some argu-
ment she finally agreed to return to
the home of her father, Joseph Elan
agan.

POWER NOW ON.
New York's Rapid Transit Subway a Great
 Success.

New York, Aug 1S-For the pur- pose of establishing test, power has been turned on in the rapid transit subway and electric trains were run over the line from downtown stations to Harlem. The climax of the test was made by picked crew with four cars run at high speed over the entire route. Some of the turns were made at dizzy gait, precautions having been taken to have the track clear, The experiment. was complete sue cess, and Harlem was reached well within the time allowance of fifteen minutes from City hall. To those on the train the stations appeared and melted away as in picture. So quickly did the cars move at the highest speed that only the watch man heard their passage.
 The greatest secrecy was maintain- ed by the officials of the road. Men at the stations were instructed to al- low no one without special permit to get below the level of the street.
 One of the objects of the night ex- pertinent was to familiarize the men at the controllers with the twists and turns of the road The motorme1f were also confronted with problems conceived by the superintendent to teach them to avoid collisions.

 After turning on the gas at the main yesterday afternoon, he went back to the job. A few minutes later Thomas Leahy of 426 East Twenty-fourth street, another of the workmen, went into the cellar and stumbled over the foremans body. He, too, fell uncon, scious.
 Joseph Brunner of 28 West End avenue followed Leahy, but managed to get back upstairs before he was overcome He shouted to Patrick Car- ley of 672 Ninth avenue, who was busy in the street excavation. Carley turned off the cock and pulled Brtln- her out Of the gas filled hall. Then he went into the cellar after Leahy and managed to get him out. Brunner had revived sufficiently by that time to help him carry out the unconscious foreman
 Meanwhile the gas had risen into the rooms upstairs and the tenants began to pile into the street. Police man Rogers of the West Forty seventh street station sent for an ambulance and with the help of a priest from the church of the Sacred Heart tried to revive Cunningham by artificial res piration. Brlnner and Carley worked over Leahy and brought him around but Cunningham died before the ann bulance surgeon arrived. Leahy was taken to the hospital

NEAR TO DEATH
Aged Senator Hoar Bids Farewell to ReI-
 ativeS.

Worcester, Mass, Aug 1S.-No marked change was noticeable in the condition of Senator George F. Hoar at 7:45 o'clock this morning It is evident, however, that he is growing weaker constantly, although he may live 24 or possibly AS hours longer.
 The senator's life is slowly ebbing away and nothing but his great vital ity enables him to maintain the strug- gle. His relatives were still of the opinion to-day that the end was not far away. The vigil of the night was unbroken by any unexpected symptom, yet MT Hoar seemed to be losing ground slowly but steadily up to 10:30 o'clock, when a mild opiate was administered. From that hour the patient was reported as being comfortable and when the last bulle- tin for the night was issued at 2:15 he was sleeping soundly.
 Arrangements have been made to notify the people of Worcester of the senator's death As soon as the news is received, 15 blows will be struck on the fire bells.
 his son, General Redwood Hoar, have been with their father almost constantly during the past 36 hours. His mind is perfectly clear and he thoroughly realizes the seriousness of with calm resignation.
 Yesterday he talked with his son and daughter and requested them to convey farewell messages to near rel atives and intimate friends.

REPUBLICANS EXPLAIN
 ABOUT THAT SALARY

Some of the republicans about town are very busy explaining the conduct
 of their representative in the alder
 manic chamber Monday night in jam
 ming through the increase of salary | for the city engineer without conde- scending to offer a word of explana tion They fear that 1t will work
 harm to them at the coming elections
 Tn some quarters they are trying ao turn the tables on Mir Murray by say<| Ing that he was talking just to ger his name in the papers, but curiousIy enough those same partisans who are talking that way could not say too
 much In favor of MT Murray's re- marks when he raised his voice against the fixing of salaries at what
 he called high figure for the super 1 intendent and clerk of the department of charities, who at thar time haps
 pened to be democrats. They thought
 MT Murray was just right, clapped him on the back and voted with him. A few days later when he opposed d
 big salary for A. I. Chatfie1d, repup- lican, MT Chesson, then alderman
 from the third ward, Informed AIr
 Murray that if he considered hay good
 enough for his democratic friends. that kind of diet wouldn't go with re- publicans. They turned him down
 and charged him with playing to the
 gallery Now they are throwing
 bricks at hdm from all quarters about the row over the engineers salary, so you see 1t makes a great deal of diff ference whose OK is being gored. One of the aldermen who figured promln
 ently in the disgraceful exhibition Of last Monday night told a represents tive of this paper that the only thing worrying him until it was all over was the dread that the democrafs would wake up and object to inlmedi- ate action and thus block their game until the next meeting Perhaps. said a limb of the law, "the end Justt fies the means, but I don't think fhe courts would sustain any such palpa- bIe evasion of the law as that Ik is amusing, too, to see the man who made that law riding rough shod through it. MT Cairns may be en- titled to the increase, but such finn fam exhibitions are disgusting to ev- cry good citizen and I'm sorry to seu
 such lesson taught by the board of aldermen"
