purely for their own profit. She was
a very business-like woman with a
fund of sound common sense. and 1t
did not take her long to ascertain what
their little game" really was. This
she let them realize In no uncertain
fashion, and society adventurers OF
this type, quickly came to the conclu-
sion that II was the wisest policy to
give Lady Sassoon a very wide berth.
1t explains in no small degree why
bazaars and other charitable func-
lions with which she was prominently
identified. could produce balance
sheets showing out of-pockets expen-
ses on such a small scale, and clear
profit on such a large scale. by COM

1t will not have come as a surprise
to some people to learn that the Duke
of Connaught has resigned the post
which bore the exalted title of "Field-
Marshal Commander-in- Chief of the
Mediterranean forces and High Com
missioner Of the Mediterranean.
When the duke accepted the post It
meant that he was severing in a dip
lomatic way. and 80 as not to attract
public attention to the fact. his init

The so-called command OF the Medi-
terranean was an absured post, fol-.
as he now practically admits. there
is really onthing to Justify its exis-
tence. There is much rejoicing by the
members of a certain military cliQu"
that their desire that the duke should
no longer have any direct influence
in army affairs has been accomplished.

RoBRED A MoNAsTARY.

Paris, Aug. 21.--Among the many
robberies for which Delaunay, the man
who shot the Deputy Chief Detective
of Paris. Is held responsible, is that
of pillagfng the historic treasure of
the famous old monastery church of
Mount Saint Michael in Normandy.
The Crown of Saint Michael, estimated
as worth $4,000 was stolen as far
back as three years ago. and no clue
could be found to the thieves.
1t Is now known that Delaunay on
the day before the tragedy in which
he himself put an end to his life.
asked acquaintance to pawn dia-
mond at the Mont de Piete, which al
vanced $46 on the Jewel. The stone
has since been examined and 1t his
been proved that 1t is one of the dia-
monds belonging to the Crown of Saint
Michael The conclusion is that the
robbery must have been committed by
Deiaunay, who stripped the crown Of
Its brilliants and pawned them sepa.

and Catalonia has never been quite
happy in It's relations with the king
entered into the dissatisfaction of the
whole province beyond dislike OF an
unpopular and. at present. unsuccess-
full war.
The real gravity of the position has
already been illustrated by the decis-
ion of the government to proclaim
martial law throughout the whole OF
Spain. That is q step intrinscially
most distasteful to the truly Liberal
instincts of the popular young king
to whom, together with his wife, the
sympathies of all Britons go forth.
Alfonso XIII would certainly not have
sanctioned an appeal to the ultima RAJ
ito Of civilized administration unless
he were convinced of it's necessity.
Nor Is 1t easy to believe that the
grave misadventure that has befallen
the troops at Melilla is exclusively
responsible for the wave of unrest
which is sweeping over the Peninsula.
The unpopularity OF the war and it's
Ill success would not In themselves
account for the phenomenon of disaf-
lection, which is too obvious to be
denied. Spain enjoys all the blesa-
ings of Parliamentary institutions, as
also does her neighbor, Portugal. but
they seem as incapable OF producing
strong and pure administration as old
fashioned AbBolutism. 1t is obvious to
all that the system of Medieval Papa

fingers in Spain as 1t prevails now
where else in Europe. The inevitable
consequence Is that its antithesisl-a
blind, aggressive. anti-religious senti-
ment-thrives in Spain with an In
tensity and ferocity unknown else
where. With this spirit OF revolution
in the air and religious and anti-re-
ligious animosities at white heat, a
spark smaller than that supplied by
the incidents of Melilla would suffice
for such a conflagation as that with
which Spain has been menaced. The
Immediate need of Spain at the mo-
ment is leaders of the type of Prim
and Sagasta.
The late Lady Sassoon. in the course
of organizing the many philanthropic
enterprises for which she was noted,

+ The annual report OF Miss j. N
Sprague, city librarian, was presented
this afternoon to the board of directors.
She calls attention to the interesting
fact that the library has had an en-
couraging year, with circulation stead
| lily growing, and the increase over last
year in the number of books given out,
being especially noticeable. The chill
drens department has kept pace with
the main library in circulation and gen.
e1al interest. Miss Ward has made the

ing through the school year, 50 popular
that with the beginning of the series
next year it seems advisable to divide
the children, and have two sets Of
stories told, one especially to the young
er children. The general plan OF the
stories has been along the line OF an
cicnt Greek history and mythology,
with fairy tales for the small children.
Miss Wards withdrawal from her work
as librarian of this department, due 70
iii health, has been a. source OF great
regret. Her special training and en-
thusiasln fol. the work has made our
chfldrens room one to be proud of, ana
we hope to keep it up to Its present
high standard.
The work in the schools is 50 inti-
lnately connected with the children 8
department, as to be almost a part
of It. We have now a collection of b0
books each in seven schools, our funds
not having permitted additions TO the
collections this year. without clipping
The equipment of the childrens room
in the library. The librarian of the
childrens room visited each of these
schools at least once. explaining Inc
charging system and telling stories
from the books to interest the childran
of the different grades. The interest
in this work has been gratifying.
The new feature Of our work this year
has been the opening of a reading room
for the blind, in connection with the
auxiliary of the reading room for the
blind OF which Mrs. "A. s. Rowan Is
president The room is furnished by
the library, and readers are suppGed
by the auxiliary, The readings began
Sept 10, since which time they have
continued three times a. week. with at
tendance varying from 6 to 10. Books
for the blind have been purchased by
the auxiliary and put in circulation ana
two typewriters have been contributed,
one making the characters for the blind,
and the other being an ordinary Under
