for the use Of the class previously mem
toned.
The literature and the art departments
Of the Woman's club, the MI Sigma club,
the Dundee Woman's club and the mis-

users of the reference department.
The directories and telephone books Of
other cities are in constant use by business
men. also such reference handbooks as the
Railroad Manual. Moody's Corporations and
various state gazeteers.
The reading room has added during 1909
a number Of newspapers IN foreign Ian
guages, also periodicals in foreign Ian
guages which were circulated after one
month. This room contains, in an alcove,
the collection of medical books largely pro-
vided by the members OF the Douglas
County Medical association. An unusually
fine collection Of medical periodicals was
received through the courtesy Of the med
ical profession.
The library has received for the museum
a collection of S-halesperiana, formerly
owned by the Hon. James w. Savage, and
now the property of Mrs. William Norris,
who has also deposited in the library the
William Morris Indian collection. These
collections are not yet on exhibition. but
will be as soon as proper arrangements
can be made.
The librarian ecommends that no new
departure in the purchase of books be con-
sidered. but instead that each department
be strengthened and kept up to the highest
standard.
The librarian further recommends that
all possible efforts be put forth toward the
establishment of distributing stations out
side Of the library. This will mean a
large duplication OF the popular books. The
central library is now serving as many
people as it can reasonably be expected to
serve. The next Improvement must be for

the honor which was done to him, and
he rode out with his familiar pose
and made little speech thanking
the patrons for their loyalty. az
The show is the same that he has
brought here for two or three years,

Described as an Imposter.

Yes, Count Davydoff. | think We
know each other he said, and then
relapsed into silence. He had visited
me some ten years ago with letter
of introduction from Father John OF
Kronstadt and told me then that he
was monk from Jerusalem. He was
trying to collect funds for building
monastery in Siberia, of which he
wished to become abbot. sent dis
patch to the father In Kronstadt and
asked him IL his letter of introduction
was genuine, for | was suspicious of
it's bearer | got a reply that he never
met a Father Wostorgoff and never
gave him any letter OF introduction.
This angered me and | wanted to ar.
rest Father Wostorgoff, but he had
guessed my intention and escaped.
Later learned that although a
monk, he was living with sweetheart
in st. Petersburg, and ordered the dis
trict attorney to make an investigation
of his doings. Nevertheless, Father
wostorgoff managed to become init
mate with the police. and all the legal
efforts 10 punish him for his action
remained futile.
For several years | lost him from
my sight. Then at once | heard that
he had Joined the Black Hundred
League and was working with Duoro-
vim Krushevan and Purishkevitch on
massacres. Through that league he
came into touch with the car. Now
he dominates the car and Is practi-
cally his right hand. The car never
signs an important document without
consulting Father Wostorgoff and Dev.
er appoints anybody for an official po-
sition without the fathers advice.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 13.-Thsre
Is no country In the world which In
conspiracy and intrigue, prosecution
and spying can rival the Russian OF to-
day. This has been emphasized by
despotic bureaucracy which suppresscs
every rational expression OF the ma
tional need. The favorites Of the car

plunge into schemes which to those
who do not know Russia seem impos-
sible OF fulfillment or such nature is
a strange group which Is called the
smoking-room club OF the palace, being
led by Father Wostorgoff, chaplain OF
the palace.
Although the appointment OF every
high Russian official formally
made by the car with all due solem-
nifty and ceremony, the fact remains
that the real appointment OF most OF
the governors. directors of various de-
partments and even ministers Is Sc
cretly arranged by the smoking-room
club OF the palace and Its leader. This
is a regular hotbed OF Russian career
