did not contribute anything to the cree
ton of this greatest of Libraries. 1t
was built solely by public money. he
did give some millions to New York
city for library purposes, but this was
used in smaller edifices. Carnegie is
like the Emperor Titus, who said Il
have lost a day" when he remembered
that he had done no good action that
day. Carnegie thinks he has lost a
day when he has not founded a Ii
brary.
The late Sir Caspar Purdon Clarke
once said that New York had few sat
isfactory- buildings, but rather pieces of
scenery-structures with elaborate IA
cades of stone and side and rear walls
of plain sbrick. The library building is
Of the same material in all its parts
and is beautiful from every. side. The
back OF It has q columnar effect owing
to the long and narrow Sits that serve
as windows for lighting the miles OF
bookshelves.T These Sits extend from
the bottom 10 within one story OF the
top OF the building. The reading room
is on the top floor and is splendtdly
lighted by broad and high windows.
Despite its palatiRiD appearance and
fashionable location on Fifth avenue,
the New York Pubic, library is open
to the poorestin the city. As matter
of fact, most of those who patronize it
come from the middle and lower class
es. II your member OF the smart set
does any reading at all, which is
doubtful, he does Il IN his own library
or club. Il is the student, the seeker
after knowledge, the specialist look
ing for technical Information, the
newspaper or magazine writer, the col
lege professor, the historian and the
great masses seeking light that crowd
the pubic libraries. The vast numbers
of foreigners at the old Aston library
were a revelation to the average Amer
lean Their presence made him more
hopeful Of the future of his country.
Some Statistics.
Now for some more statistics. There
is seemingly no way to avoid figures
when talking about anything so mon
umentaI as the New York Public IL
brary. The building contains 800
rooms, vaults and halls 1t covers a
floor space of about nine acres. The
shelving OF the entire stack room If
placed end to end would extend from
New York to Philadelphia. This stack
room, where most of the books are
stored, Is 297 feet long by IS feet wide
and Is made UP OF seven floors which
are seven and a half feet apart The
reading room, which is just over the
stack room. Is 295 feet long. II feet
wide and 80 feet high. One side OF 1t

OF this immense chamber is a double
screen. behind which the attendants
work. It is so placed as to break the

The Bookworm's Paradise.

This library is the bookworm's para
disc. 1t is the house OF wisdom, the
home of science and art, the abiding
place of the best thoughts uttered by
man In 1000 years. 1t Is the temple
of mind, the palace of the souls express
sion, and should have all the majesty
and beauty betting its high estate.
Suppose we pay 1t a visit. Approach
ing the main entrance by climbing the
broad flights Of steps from Fifth ave-
nue., we pass through high arched doors
into the main rotunda, two stories in
height, floors, walls and ceilings of
white marble. great marble monoliths
supporting the ceilings, broad marble
stalrways on either side and noble arch
ways above and below. On the en-
trance floor is the periodical room,
where magazines and newspapers from
all the world may be found. On the
second floor above is the famous Stuart
collection of paintings and rare works
Of art. To the west is the catalogue
room, containing over 100000 index
cards alphabetically arranged. Direct
~ off this is the great reading room,
with the stack room divided into seven
floors underneath. There are many
other chambers OF interest-the pure
science room and the technical science
room, for example. There is the read
ing room for the blind, the training
school, the exhibition rooms. There is
the patent room, the lending room and,
best of all, the children's room. There
are eight smaller rooms, or studies,
where distinguished writer's can "get
ups their subjects. Then there are
rooms devoted to American history, the
Hebrew department, music room, pho
tograph room. print room, containing
fine collection Of old prints removed
from the Lenox library; a reading room
for economies, a map room. picture gal

or streets to put in subways the New
York Public library building shines
like an oasis in a desert or a temple
in a wilderness. 1 think those who
know about such things say its archi-
lecture is a combination of the Ital-
ian and French renaissance. Anyway,
it is simple and strong and has a rest
full look. Any book can feel honored
TO be invited to such a house.
Three Libraries Consolidated.
This magnificent library, which is
Just now opening to the public, is a
consolidation of the old Astor and Len
OK libraries and the Tilden foundation
and already contains more than 1000
600 volumes. Measured by the num-
Der of books alone there are two or
three larger libraries in Europe and one
the Congressional library-in Amer
lea. But measured by the size or ca
pacity OF the building it has no equal.
In number of readers the New York
library also exceeds all others. 1t has
forty branches scattered about the
city, and from these millions Of books
circulate yearly.

add that the building contains over

MOLINE

Injured in Auto Wreck.-An automo-
bile accident on a country road near
Rockford resulted In the serious in
fury OF George W. WEIGH, student at
the University Of Wisconsin, who is
son of Assistant Fire Chief Thomas
W. WEIGH of this city. WEIGH was one
of party OF students on the way from
Madison to Rockford in automobiles.
When near Rockford a tire on the au-
tomobile in which WEIGH rode came
off with the result that the machine
skidded into a ditch and struck some
barbed wire. Occupants OF the car
were thrown out and numerous bones
were broken. Young Welch's arm was
broken. his shoulder was dislocated
and some ribs were broken. He was
also badly bruised. Others in the car
met an even worse fate, one student
being in a condition that made 1t nee
essary to rush him to a hospital in
Rockford.
May Festival Deficit.-Evidently all
the music lovers in the city did not
take advantage Of the opportunity. and
attend the concerts of the May festi-
val; or else there are comparatively
few music lovers in the city. Because,
as a result of the four concerts of the
festival, the Choral union faces a de-
ficit in the sum OF $1,109.61. Thanks
to the generosity of William Butter
worth, honorary president, the bills in
cident to the festival, which reached
an aggregate sum of S2,602.61, have
been paid, and the union has from now
till next year TO figure out a way to lift
the debt from its shoulders.
Bond Issue Invalid. - Visions of a
new city hall went glimmering yester-
day when, at the city commission
meeting, City Attorney G. A. Shallberg
reported in writing that, in substance,
the city council had no authority to
issue city hall bonds. And this is due
TO the fact. according to Mr.. Shall
berg, that the election at which the
people voted the bond issue was not a
valid election.
$50, 600 More for Watertown.-After
three hour fight in committee Friday
night Senator F. A. Landee succeeded
in having included in the appropriation
bill an item providing for 100000 for
WATERFOWL hospital. The bill previous
ly carried two items, one for $1o,b00
for standpipe which will provide fire
