PUGLTsT AND COMPOSER.

Over in New York the other night there was held benefit for broken down little prize fighter, who for years has not done a days work except that involved in training for encourenters with other bruisers. The man had earned thousands upon thousands of dollars in the art of pounding some- body else into insensibility, all of which he had squandered through the dissipation of drink and other sorts of excesses.
 Plainly the young fighter should now be Independently wealthy, and he would be had he exercised even the common sense of a squirrel. Instead, he is a battered and poverty-stricken derelict, and his friends-with a loy- alty for which others can not help honoring them arranged perform ance to help him, and in one way and another actually got eogether, it is said, $25,000 for his maintenance.
 In q little country town of New England there lives in poverty and the pitiful gloom of a darkened intellect one of the greatest composers this western land has ever produced. He is Edward Mcdowell, whose splendid orchestral works have delighted music lovers both here and in Europe. He la bored for years in theinterest of art at salaries that never adequately paid for his genius. But he gave freely the best there was in him, and that best
 was glorious. Then came a mind dis eased, and now there is hope only of a long and peaceful twilight. A fund is 1 being raised for him, too, but with all the work of year or more it has not reached the proportions of the prize | fighters reward.
 Are the people who pretend to love | the higher things" of life less willing to translate that love into dollars and
 cents than those who regard mill as the height of human enjoyment? |? They have far more money in the ag- 1 gresgate than those who rallied to the
 support of Terry McGovern, but they | have colder hearts. It is a sorrowful commentary upon the alleged desire l for culture and the fine arts in this country that men and women all over
 the land should not pour in upon the

PENNYPACKER's RARE BOOKS.
Governor Made Collection of Penpsy

Governor Made Collection of Pennsyi-
 vanla Literature for Forty Years.
 Governor Pennypacker's collection ot books relating to the history of Penn sylvania from the earliest to the pres ent time comprises thousands that are rare and many that are unique. For more than forty eyars the Governor collected these precious items relating to the Keystone state. As result there Is in his collection a library of bibliographical information of general historical value.
 More than ten thousand volumes and twenty-five hundred magazines. news papers and other periodicals published in Pennsylvania from time to time form the Pennypacker collection now on dis play at No, 1l12 Walnut street.
 Stan " Henkels, librarian of the col- lection said yesterday that Governor Pennypacker had gathered his four de- cades of research the gems that have been dispersed during that period in Europe and America, and he described the whole as the most important col lection ever made regarding Pennsy- vania.
 In the Pennypacker collection is the first map of Pennsylvania, a fine copy of an excessively rare publication Of Pennsylvania made in London in 1890 Henkels says Tt Is the only copy l ever saw, and as far as diligent re- search will prove, it is the only copy that has ever been offered for public sale"
 One of the rarest of the volumes was printed in 1859 by Peter Cornelius Van Zuriskzee, "a lover of truth and peace The author founded a settlement on the Delaware In 1862, and lived in German town He founded Socialism, and was the first in America to denounce slaV- cry. The book is a compilation of his letters to Cromwell outlining his plans in America, latter carried out at the Horekill on the Delaware.
 Another rare and perhaps unique vol ume gives the first printed laws Of Pennsylvania. It was printed and sold by, Andrew Bradford in Philadelphia in TIA. and contains early session laws of Pennsylvania totally unknown to collectors,
 These and other publications relating to the early days of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia are Illustrated with DOT traits and views of peculiar interest to antiquarians, Many are in the German language and contain local historical information not readily accessible. Tn mixing his collection Governor Pennypacker attended public sales of famous books in various parts of the country, and frequently made rare pur- chases under the noses and eyes of the most astute collectors, llbrarains and dealers.
