Trainload IA Days in Transit Across
the Continent.

PHILADELPHIA, March 10. - A
train load of Hawaiian raw cane sugar.
the vanguard of a shipment of 100000
tons shipped by rail from San Francis
60 TO the Atlantic seaboard, has arrived
at the Port Richmond freight yards of
the Philadelphia & Reading railway
here. 1t was the first time that train
Loaded with sugar ever made this
journey, as it also established a new
record for freight trains carrying non.
perishable freight by making the run in
II days. The sugar, which is being
shipped in trains of so cars, each train
carrying a total of more than 1000
tons, represents the largest transcon-
tinental freight haul of any one com
modify ever handled by the railroads in
solid train load lots.
The scarcity of ships and the in
creased ocean freight rates. as well as
the saving in time, influenced the
Hawaiian planters to transport their
product by rail. BY the all-water route
from Honolulu to this city, Sc DAYS
would be required The rail-and-wa-
ter route took only % days.

Library Appropriation Cut OFF.

Patrons of the town library will be much
disappointed at the vote of the town Tues
day that no money be appropriated for the
library this year, save that required by
law. This means that no new books can
be bought during the entire year and that
either the room must be opened for few

CURED by law $3.50 is not nearly suffi-
Gent to pay the present salary of the libra
ran, insurance, etc, or a small reserve in
tended TO be used for necessary book
cases must be used for these current ex-
penses The book cases, which are greatly
needed, had been planned for and would
have been ordered within a short time. At
present many of the books are stacked on
top OF cases and tables for lack of room.
About 1000 books have been given out
from the library the past year. The cases
are thoroughly searched by readers, old
and young, and new titles are constantly
requested. The librarian, Mrs. Plumb. has
used excellent judgment in the selection of
books and the money voted by the town
each year has been used with care and
discretion. The educational value of a
good library to the town can scarcely be
estimated
