DECLINE IN FICTION
READING I'M LIBRARY
MARKING Ev0L UTl0N

LIVERPOOL. England. Sept 20.-On
the second day OF the meeting Of the
Library Association at Liverpool . pa
per was read by Mr.. Doubleday OK
Hamstead entitled, Public Libraries
and the Public"
Mr.. Doubleday said that one Of the
most noteworthy features Of library
evolution was the continued decrease
o. fiction circulated. n London II
amounted to almost 10 per cent, and
almost every library reported Z steady
decline in this respect and an In
creased demand for educational Woeks.
Universities and other educatiffial
bodies had recognized that the whole
trend Of modern library work was to-
wards education and were anxioueiy
seeking their cooperation. The charge
that libraries had eocialistic tenden-
cies Mr.. Doubleday rebutted. He IN
sisted that they were prefectly unpoll-
tical and we're supported By men fall
creeds.
He appealed for the cessation OF
purely destructive criticism which was
sometimes heard In public speeches
on the subject of libraries. Public lib-
raries had come to stay. and every HI
rary administrator would welcome
criticism that would tend to make
libraries more effective than they
were.
Mr.. Faxan, one OF the II American
delegates commissioned by the Arneri-
can Library Association to convey
greetings to English association. CALI
ed attention to the fact that In nearly
every American library taevs Was 4
room set apart for children. and there
was also now an attempt being made
to instruct the children n The use Of
books and libraries.

WOMEN SHOULD BE
ALLOWED TO SIARvE

LONDON, Sept. 17.-Mr. George
Bernard Shaw has returned to Lon
don and is In the limelight with q let
ter on the forcible feeding of the suf-
fragettes which, for lack OF more ex-
citing matter, occupies leading places
in this mornings papers.
After promising that suffragettes
who commit crimes, like attempted ar
son, require to be restrained, Mr.
Shaw says the method of restraining
them has placed the government In q
dilemma The only method of re-
straint at present available is impris-
onment. and prisoners. by the expe-
dent of voluntary starvation, could
always force upon the community the
alternative of either removing the re-
straint or seeing them die.
He adds. TO keep q prisoner
would mean allowing her to starve
herself to death. In such an extrem-
ity it seems to me that prisoners
right to commit suicide would have to
be recognized. AS long as the gov
eminent places within the prisoners
reach sufficiency of food, do not
see how 1t could be held accountable
for the prisoners death any more
than If she committed suicide in any
other manner. If a woman meets me
on Waterloo bridge and says: Give
me five pound note or I'll Jump into
the Thames and drown myself as soon
as you have gone sufficient distance
to prevent you from holding me-, /
really do not see how could reason
ably comply with her request, because
IL it were established as a rule of con-
duct that was bound to do so, or else
be held guilty of the woman's death,
all the women in London might make
me stand and deliver in turn until /
was beggar.
"In the same way, IL the govern
ment Is bound to release every pris-
oner who threatens to commit suicide
by starvation, then all the criminals
can compel Jail delivery and practi-
.cally abolish all legal methods of deal
with crime.
my conclusion, therefore, is that
.if the prisoners in Mountjoy, Mrs.
Leigh and Miss Gladys Evans, SEN
fenced for the Dublin affair, are de-
termined to commit suicide by starva-
ton, they must be allowed to do so
and the government could not be held
responsible for their deaths il it could
convince the public that they had plen-
ty of food within reach. " .-.
This is cold logic. and it has been
evident to intelligent observers for
some time that the moment DE mill
tant suffragists overstepped the line
which separates what may call par
dcnable ructions from offences against
public safety, which no community
could be persuaded to tolerate, they
would drive the government to this
cold logic"

cember 6, 1910, from which we ex-
tract:
II would like to have your opinion
and will give you my symptoms. My
legs, thighs and stomach are badly
swollen. My doctor tried strong pur-
gatives to relieve the dropsy, but to
no purpose. Four months ago the
swelling was so bad that my lungs
were full and the elimination as al
most solid with albumen. was in
bed three months previous to taking
the Renal Compound. 1t has done me
more good than anything else, but
am still belfast" 49,
Prescriptions we're sent to aid the
Compound to reduce the dropsy.
On January 81, 1911, Anderson
again wrote as follows:
81 wish to thank you for the letter
and prescriptions. l have completely
recovered. | had a test made two
days ago and am perfectly free from
albumen. Barring weakness | feel as
we'll as | ever did. l have been out OF

fined to bed nine months. 1t has Ia
ken about twenty-five bottles to cure

.Ex-KING MANUEL STIRRED
GENDARME'S SUSPICION

PARIS, Sept. 20.-A very swell ap-
pearing youth was strolling along the
Champs Elysees. In his buttonhole
was the rosette Of the Legion of
Honor. Two gendarmes approached,
their swords clanking.
"You are too young to be cheya-
lier of the Legion Of Honor, said one.
"It's punishable offense to wear a
Legion Of Honor decoration unless
you belong"
I'm not a chevalier; I'm higher
than that" replied the youth.
IAN officer, maybe" sneered the
gendarme.
Higher than that, too" quoth the
youth. -.....z,@a
"Ah, a commander" observed the
officer, comforting his face in an eff
fort to multiply his sheer.
I'm higher than a commander,
said the youth blandly.
ooh, see," responded the gen.
darme. You are Of the Grand Cross.
This is a little bit too much. You
come along to the station with Us.
The young man went along. AZ the
station he handed the Commissary OF
Police his card He was ex-Kins
Manuel, of Portugal. That was all.
He also established his identity, too.
Laughing, he left the station.

WRITES LETTER while

CFrom the Memphis Commercial-Appeal.)
On April Is, says the Scientific

1t was commanded by Lieut.. Takuma
EaOtomu. After the vessel was 10.
Gated n raised there was found In
the coming tower d letter written by
the commander as the last spark OF
life left his body and that of his crew.
1t is a remarkable document. Trans
world an ideal of the determined
courage of the Japanese. Calm. even
in the teeth of death. his letter tells a
story which will live in naval records
for all time to come. The submarine
sank shortly before 10 o'clock. The
last line of the letter is terrible in Its
pathos.
Il respectfully request hat none OF
the families of my subordinates shall
suffer. h only thing l am anxious
abou is this. The atmospheric pres
sure is increasing. 1 feel as if my

ing in the slime of the oceans bed.
Buried in the darkness of the water,
he uttered a prayer that his subordi-
mates families might not suffer. He
did not think of himself. He thought
only of others.
The early part of the letter, which
was written at intervals. told of the
efforts to pump out the water. but it
vas useless; the hand pump was not
sufficient. The electrical appliances
were cut off by the water, which partly
filled the engine room. The lights were
extinguished and the gas and fumes
Of gasoline brought oblivion before
death.
Tha anyone under such circum-
stances should have the cool, calm
courage to give in the minutest de-
tails the events tina TRANSFERRED is re.
markable.
True to his country. his first COM
ment is in regard to the nikado. His
faith in the navy. his faith in his gov
eminent, his faith in his fellow man, is
shown throughout this remarkable let
ter.

"Americans" IA Tripoli.
From the Chicago Journal.

There Is a strong probability that
Italy's new colony Of Tripoli will be de-
veloped largely by American money
and American-taught men.
Tripoli offers no opportunity to the
penniless laborer. The Oriental will
work cheaper than even the peasant
from Calahria or Sicily. But Tripoli
Offers good opportunities to men who
have q little capital. enough to buy land
and bring It under cultivation. In Italy
these men are largely returned Amer
icans."
The Italian peasant comes 10 Amer.
lea, works hard for three. four or Ave
years. saves his money. and goes back
with a stake that enables him to be
his own master henceforth. Instead Of
going back to his native village with
his savings. there will be q strong
temptation for him to go to Tripoli.
where land 10 cheap.
He will take to Tripoli his native In
dustry. perseverance,. and Unborn love
and knowledge Of the soil. He will take
likewise the energy. knowledge. train
Ing and money gained in America. The
Journal ventures the prediction that
there will be q large colony of re-.
turned Americans" in Tripoli within
q few years.
