 Somewhat less than two years ago the hope was expressed that, within three years I should present to the town of Colchester, in memory of my father, library building on the site for many years my home. This after noon my hope is about to be realized, and to you, sir, as president of the board of trustees, have the honor to present the deed of the land and the building thereon, as also the keys thereto.
 The library is no longer mine, but yours, for the benefit of the town, and trust, sir, that under the supervision of your board, the people of Colches- ter. without regard to race, creed or color, will be made to feel that the building is theirs, theirs to be proud of, theirs to work for, theirs to use.
 Tt is not the wishi of the donor, nor would it have been the wish of him in whose memory the gift is nEEs, that this should be a mute monument to the dead, but living force, acting for the uplift of the town in all that Is noble, all that is good. Mir. President, the fu- ture of the library is in the hands of your board. May God bless the gift on its life of usefulness!"

THE WHITE CITY.
Dare Devil Caste1Iane Opens Engage
 ment Monday.

ment Monday.
 The White City has secured for next week, beginning Monday, July 10, the biggest feature that has ever been seen in outdoor vaudeville, namely, Dare Devil Castellane. He performs a feat that requires courage and almost su- perhuman skill. It is the only act of it's kind in the world and is combina- tion of the famous loop-the-loop, which created such sensation in Barnum's circus, and the leap-the-gap, In the aE~ tempt of which so many lost their lives at Coney Island. Castellane is called the Little Demon on account of his fearlessness.
 Mounted on bicycle, he starts at the top of an incline forty-nine feet above the ground, rides down twenty-four feet, leaping a gap through which fierce flames from a gasolene tank are blaz- ing; lands on another and lower incline, describes half circle and flies through the air, turning 8 somersault, landing on the third incline, and after one rev. olution lands on the final sloping plat form which brings him to the ground.
 Castellane will prove intensely inter esting to those attending the big excur- sions booked for the White City the coming week.

JOHN HAY.

Oh! hush Columbia's world and weep In sorrow for the great one dead; With muffied drum the hours keep And walk your rounds in solemn
 tread. Our world should mourn the fallen
 chief;
 The wise, great, honored chief of state, While ones So high bend round in grief As round a knight in king-held state. Our own elected peoples king; Loved king on proud Columbia's
 throne, Has cast his time to honors fling Around the dead so wise, so known. The nations halls are wreathed in woe; Tokens of grief are gathered there; Sadly the great ones come and go; Grief for the dead waits everywhere His course was ever wise and great; A nations mantle round him thrown, He gave his strength to cares of state: His power of help was great and
 known. Dead statesman! round his honored
 form
 A nation filings its garlands fair; His toiling for the people done, He rests him now just over there" ** *% And post,-ah! what shall be sung Unto the poet laid at rest; His glad thoughts through the nations
 rung
 That long for thoughts still unex-
 pressed. His poet friends hold him in thought From out the number passed away His greatest longings still unwrought, Gone with him to the brighter day. May loved incense with soft wings
 come
 To rest upon the poets tomb, While records of his great deeds done Wait with him in the Great Un-
 known.
