GROWTH OF GREAT LIBRARIES.

The greatest library event in li- brary history. measured by material | standards,'' is what the Chicago Dial calls the opening in New York of the splendid building that has cost more than $10.OOo.O0O. that contains literary and art treasures worth several mill limos more and that occupies a site valued at about s20.000.0C0. The dedi- cation ceremonies mark the completion Cf fourfold plan conceived in the brain of Dr. John S. Billings. T wanted first of all,' said he, ito see the erection of a big, handsome li- brary building, centrally located, which should be the business and ad- ministrative center of the system. I wanted also to see a wise distribution of branch libraries all over the city. My third hope and aim was to have the system acquire a sufficient num- Der and variety of books When I became director there were only about 4S0000 books in the central libraries. I wanted to see that number increas- ed at least to a million. The fourth and last aim was to organize a com plete and efficient library staff so that the public could be served with books promptly and efficiently"
 An interesting parallel is drawn by Richard Garnett in the North Ameri- can Review between the growth of the British Museum out of the be- quest of Sir Hans Sloane and the gradual enrichment of the city of New York by similar benefactions from John Jacob Astor, who set the example; James LenOx, who followed it up, and Mir. Tilden, whose noble bequest, partly secured for the com munity after much legislation, has led to the fusion of three libraries into one.-Current Literature.

GAINESVILLE CLUB
TO Be DISSOLVED
PERMANENT lNJU-:oTlON ISSUED
AGAINST CLUB FOR NONCOM.
PllANCE WITH CHARTER.

There will no longer be a Gaines
vile Club in this city.
Such was the decision of Judge
Clem b. Potter today.
The case of the state of Texas vs.,
the so-called Gainesville Club, was
taken up yesterday afternoon, the
state attempting to recall the char
ter which had been issued to such
club, alleging that it had been fol
lowing pursuits not specified by the
charter, and to collect an occupation
tax of $4,000 for the club being a
place where deposits of intoxicating
liquor were kept for others. The ev-
dence and arguments were finished
this morning, having been begun yes
terday afternoon, and at two o'clock
this afternoon Judge Potter rendered
the above decision.
Judge Potter found for the defend
ants, on the question of occupation
tax, that it is not liable for the
$4,000
He held for the state in all other
propositions, granting a permanent
Injunction against the Gainesville
Club and its officers and also the
amount Of the costs of suit against
the club.
County Attorney Rogers was asked
| if this ruling would affect the NOr
waerts Club, and he said that il
would not, because it was chartered
under different specifications, but
that the trial of the states case
against the Vorwaerts would likely
be taken up this afternoon, as the
state had already announced ready
1t is expected that the state viii
have a harder fight against the Vor
waerts than against the Gainesvill,

RODE THE RODS

CARTER COUNTY'S LEGISLATOR
JUMPED A THROUGH FREIGHT
AT WRONG TIME.

How | rode the rods or the eX-
perience of Joe Ben on the bumpers,
is a new serial story that will likely
appear in some of the magazines in
the near future. The foundation for
such a story happened yesterday when
Hon. j. b. Champion OF this city, who
Is familiarly known to his friends as
Joe Ben, made a trip to Marietta,
where he had some le2al business to
attend to. He went down at noon and
in few hours had finished his bust
ness affairs and was very anxious to
come home. There being no passen-
ger train until midnight, some one
suggested that he catch freight
train. Joe Ben was profuse in his
this and swung on to the first freight
that came through. This happened to
be through freight, and as they were
going at a rather rapid pace, Joe Ben
could not select his place to catch on,
but landed on the first place that he
could, a little platform at the rear OF
the caboose.
With barely enough room to stand
on and only a small iron rod to support
| himself, he started on the trip as he
! thought, to ArdmOre. He says that
