FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
Detroit Follows Brmingham's Exam pie in Not Accepting Carnegie Aid.
e Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 A late number of the Dial, published in the city of Detroit, mentions the fact. and at the same time commenting the city for "graciously declining three-quarters of a million offered by Carnegie for new library building, and by the same vote de- ciding to proceed to build such a build ing at the citys expense. Without ar rogating too much for Birmingham, we can truly say that such is also the Bir- mingham spirit. The city of Birmingham is not situated to follow in the steps of the city of Detroit, but few people can do so The executive board of the Bir- mingham Free and Public Library asso- citation made no mistake in calling upon her citizens to build it's library Those institutions are most helpful which are indigenous to the soil, and are not exotics brought in from foreign field" The ex- ecutive board looks forward with con fidence to our citizens, one and all, to build and mantain a library worthy of our city.

 A Credit to the Game.
 Willie Is a. young man and is always in the best of shape. He takes the best of care of himself during the baseball sea- son, and saves his money In a joking way he has said different times: Well, when l give up this game I suppose w4l have to go back to work"
 Ate Is an honor to the great game of baseball. He seldom kicks at the umpire, ana when he does it's a sure sign that the decision was bad. He joined the Yankees in 1903, and has been playing the same kind of a game day in and day out. He certainly is the big Liliputian of the baseball field. Keeler was once asked how he made his great success as a batsman. He replied:
 There is only one explanation and that is to hit them where they ain't'
 The Brooklyn man has no favorite pastime, but on the road he enjoys read ing, and always says: '"This will be my last year" Keeler is good for plenty of baseball, and there is doubt he will be sen in the right garden for a few years more. Wee Willie will go down in baseball history as one of the most scientific batters the game has ever pro- duced, and he has an army of friends in every city. He seldom makes an error
 The dope goes away back when he dropped one in the outfield. He went through season without striking out, and there was a big groan when he did fan the air, and the pitcher who accom- plished 1t was tickled to death. Tha honor of striking out Keeler was a big one.
 To show that Keeler has hit the ball some since he became a major league player we give his batting record from the time he was in the big league up to the present time. He led the National league in batting in 1897 and 1898.

Thos. Thorson, of Canton, says
he thinks eve" will have to put
somebody else besides Kittredge in
the United States senate. The
joker in this is the fact that Tommy
is a standing candidate himself,
and has c:ovetous eye on the SEN
atorship. He says zone of the
jokes of the day is Kittredge's at
tempt to su rround Secretary Taft
at Sioux Fa lis with a little coterie
of land office men and federal job
holders" This is rather a hard
slam at the. only four gentlemen

tions to that meeting Gov Craw-

The jury in the Emma kaufman
murder case now on trial at Flan-
dreau was completed last Saturday
and the trial commenced on Mon
day. The testimony for prosecu
ton is similar to that presented at
the preliminary hearing year
ago and is very damaging to the
defendant. It is considered pro-
per to reserve judgment until the
defense in a case has testified, but
at this stage of the trial it is diff
cult to conceive what reasonable
defense can be presented. The girl
died at a hospital after being buris-
ed, cut, scalded and neglected in
the home of the defendant, and
there certainly is guilt on the part
of some one, and there seems to be
no one else except the defendant
on whom the guilt can srest.

The contra act for the construc-
tion of the new state capitol build
ing was let last week to O. III. o.
son, of Saltwater, Mimi. for $528,
$50. The basement of the build
ing up to the water table is to be
of Sioux Falls granite, the super.
structure of Bedford limestone,
and the steps, pillars and lintels of
Ortonville granite. The bid for
Sioux Falls granite for the entire
building was 100000, and the
Black Hills sand stone would cost
% per cent more than the Bedford
stone. So it appears that the
plans of the old capitol commits
sion have been ratified both by the
legislature and by the new COM
mission. We are not disposed to
criticize the action of the commits
sion for selecting material from
other states considering the vast
saving to the state by doing so
but how about those awful lcharges
that were made against the old
capitol commission during the
campaign2 Because that commits
sion went to look at the Bedford
and Ortonville stone they were ac-
cused of disloyalty to their own
state. The stone question was
made the chief issue in Minnehaha
county and "home production"
won. Will the accusers of the old
! commission acknowledge that they
were mistaken in their charges !? or
will they admit that they manu-
factured the issue simply to help
them get the ofices2
