drunkenness is too much in evidence III

In high society have taken to drink as

practice. though of recent growth, is
gaining a wider ana wider hold The
paper gives the following specific in
stances as Illustrations OF what is nc
tually taking place:
at one dinner party given not many
miles from here, the company being
made up of members of society whose
names many would recognize, and who

women drank so indulgently that she
ran from the table and, in the prcs-
ence of n dozen men, attempted to
climb pillar in the room, amid the
clippings and cheering of the drunken
guests Another woman had to be put

went well until the lot where the
Hereford cattle were grazing was
reached. The gate to this enclosure
was thrown open and Downey put on
the high speed and as it steamed out
toward where the bull was grazing he
threw up his head, looked around and
commenced to paw the ground. Dow.
ney yelled, but the animal took this
for challenge to fight and started
toward the machine. Downey put on
the big speed and the bull did the
same. There was crash and out OF
the dust and smoke that hung like a
pail over the scene, the bull stood over
the wreckage, paving and believing.

Library is Now Runnina.


The new Carnegie public library in
Norfolk is now open to the public.
Miss Lobdoll the librarian, is in
charge of the institution every after
noon excepting Sunday and Monday
from > till o'clock, and every Monday
evening from till o'clock Already
patrons of the library are beginning
to take advantage of the books to be
had.
The evening hours for Mondays
were determined upon at a meeting of
the library board last night, in order
to accommodate those persons who
were unable to get to the library dur
ing the afternoons.
The library furniture has not yet
been received, but has been ordered.
Mrs. George ID. Butterfield is making
a gift of a beautiful librarians desk
and Mrs Sol G. Mayer has volunteered
to make a substantial gift in furni-
ture.
The new building is beautifully fin
ished inside and will be a credit to
Norfolk for a great many years to
come. The board, in ordering furni-
ture, has taken the attitude that it is
economy to buy the very best on the
market, even though fewer articles be
bought each year
1t is probable that the name of An
drew Carnegie, and acknowledgement
to him for his gift, may be inscribed
upon a plate at the front Of the IL
brary. At present his name does not
appear, nor is it required that it shall
appear on the building.
1t is probable that when the furni.
ture is installed, some sort of formal
opening may be held.
Three new members of the library
board have just been reappointed by
Mayor Friday for three-year terms
