gallery is not yet completed. but the

Some Jumped in Time.

The Fourteenth street car, blocked by a
truck, was standing near by the end of
the bridge above Attorney street Its
passengers saw the other car bearing
down on them with a frantic moUorman
making signs that he could not stop. The
men on the rear platform of the standing
car jumped off in safety. The three
score passengers inside the car fought
wildly with each other TO escape, but
blocking the doorways, as the runaway
car approached the rear platform, those
near the doorway pulled back the pas
sengers who were stepping out upon the
platform. thereby undoubtedly saving
several lives. This platform was split

made TO maintain a public library
through many years past. With the
splendid opportunity, such as is now
presented for broad reading and gem
eral culture, II is believed there can
never again be the real want for books
which has been felt by the city in times
past.
The public library movement dates
back TO the later sos, when the old Ma
sonic library. which had been held open
by the members of that fraternity, was
closed and the books turned over for
consideration to a stock company. This
board, in the hope of selling the stock.
held control of the books for few
years with steadily dwindling funds
and lack of equipment. The books were
transferred from the Masonic hall on
Main street TO the Board of Trade
building, and here. with the aid OF
few women who felt the extreme need
of a reference library as well as one or
fiction, ii struggled for a time longer
till ali funds were gone and an effort
was made to close the doors. However,
under the direction of Miss Anna Il.
Chapman, who was the chief librarian
till the time of her death, the books
were still kept accessible 70 the public,
although some years passed by in
which no compensation was at hand
for the services of a librarian.

The Kirmess in 1892 grew out of the
efforts OF the Ladies Literary club 10
raise funds for the maintenance Of
the library and so great was the sue
cess of this undertaking that over $1,000
was netted for carrying on the work.
Although the plan emanated from the
Ladies' Literary club. women of all
clubs turned out in earnest and helped
the affair along working for the sue
cess of the affair The Kirmess was
held in what was the old exposition
building, and was without doubt the
most successful effort ever made 10
raise money for any work i'm the city.
After this sum was gone a call was
sent out TO the club women Of the city
asking their appointment of a library
committee to work for the establish
ment of a public library. This commit
tee, with Mrs. c. 5. Kinney as chair
man. went to work IN the legislature
and finally succeeded, IN 1893, in getting

Merging Of Railways.

There will be no open mergers. How
ever. efforts are being made TO do indi-
rectly what the courts viii not permit d.
rectly. Many lines are being united into
systems and then the systems are grouped.
By means of this grouping process a few
railroad magnates can meet in New York
and agree upon plans which will result 10
their special benefit and to the detriment
OF shippers and the public. Six of these
groups or systems are said TO control u.s.
900 OF the 204. coo miles of railroad mileage
Of the United States. BY this means COM
petition has been destroyed and the ne
cessity for rate legislation has become
more and more urgent This proposed reg
ulatiOn by congress will result in no in
justice to either shipper or carrier. Let
the question be stated fair All that is
desired is that after complaint is made
and after a thorough investigation, both
shipper and carrier having been heard If
the rate is then found TO be unreasonable,
the commission shall name one, said rate
TO go into effect Immediately and remain
in force until the question is finally passed
upon by the courts.

When the applause that followed the

part:
Gentlemen. as you have greeted me
so well, you have given me the OppOr-
tunity TO indulge myself in a luxury.
There have been moments in the past
when I was afraid OF saying how well
thought of the senators and representa-
tiVes in the national congress from
Louisiana, for fear l might damage
them. Now l am emboldened by your
generous kindness and confidence to say
that ii has been indeed a pleasure TO
deal with Louisiana's Representatives il
the senate and in the lower house OF
congress. because whenever I had to do
with a great question of national impOr-
lance / could go to them convinced that
if 1 could show them it was really Cor
the good Of the nation. they would
stand for il.

We stand squarely upon that platform
and will fight IL out upon that line. We
are not the enemies of the railroads. Time

friends. In my opinion they are making
a mistake TO oppose such a conservative
measure as the proposed amendment 10
