TEN YEARS OLD
Anniversary Occasion Will be
Observed With Donations
to Institution

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
M1DDLETOWN. Del, June 9-The
Middletown Public Library will cele-
brate its tenth birthday on Saturday
The day will be observed as donation
day when II is hoped that every
friend Of the library will make a do
nation, II only a small one. The
members Of the library COMMITTEES
have worked hard to place the library
on sure foundation and they, feel
justified In asking for donation In
token Of good will 10 the library from
the people Of the town. This is the
first library ever stated in Middletown,
which has lived and prospered for
ten years and the committee feels
justly proud Of Il.
The first library in Middletown in
the recollection of the present in
habitants was in the old Academy,
but II is not certain If II was public
library or a large school library. The
boys" Of some fifty or sixty years
ago know only that there was
library IN the building. At the time
Of the organization Of the next IL
brary, meeting was held I'm the
Sunday school room of Forest Pres
byterian Church. by a number OF in
terested persons. with Edward Rey-
nolds chairman OF the meeting. They
secured funds to start the library and
Mr.. Reynolds went to Philadelphia to
buy the books. sThe library was
opened, but after a time the books be-
came scattered and lost.
Some years later, the members of
the Irving Lyceum collected money
and bought books for a library. to be
known as the Irving Lyceum Library.
They had no regular librarian and In
time this library also became a thing
of the past.
In 1901, a number of women decid-
ed that they could and would have a
public library I'm this town and whom
a woman makes up her mind to do
anything, nothing on earth can stop
her With 500 and the gift of few
books. these women opened the Mid
dletown Public Library on June 10,
1901. with about one hundred mem
bers, each paying 81 per year mem
bership fee.
Thre are now 1905 volumes in the
library. Of which 976 are fiction; SCI
history. biography and miscellaneous;
144 hooks for children. and i2i books
of different kinds. formerly part Of
the Irving Lyceum Library. which
we're given to the library after the
death Of Or T. H. Hipin, who had
them in his possession for number
30 ,rooro L., Tho lthr,rv arc "a XVah
ster's new International Dictionary
and a set of Chambers Encyclopedia.
The committee propose spending
about $50 for new looks during the
summer months and all who will, may
for the nominal fee Of 81 enjoy this
feast OF literature.

Peru's Garden of the Gods.

the Peruvian Garden of the Gods, adj
mired by every traveller fortunate
enough to visit it," writes William v.
Afford, f. r. G. S., in the Century.
1T is locally called the Rock forest.
though in no sense of the word is it
forest. 1t simply resembles one when
viewed at distance of ten miles. The
traveller may be forgiven the error of
thinking it a forest as he sees it for
the first time and forgets that he is
no longer where trees grow, but with
in half an hours ride of the highest
city in the world. Cerro de Pasco,
perched like a condor on the high

a pike was dished up whole. Smaller
