•\r\V 11AILWAY COMPANY'PERFECTS A BIG LOAN

A notable event in the library worldoccurred in the recent dedication ofthe John Carter Brown Library build-ing at Brown University, Providence,,11. I. For this building $150,000 wasgiven by John Nicholas Brown, son ofJohn Carter Brown. The donationwas but one of a trinityof gifts madeby this generous donor. For the en-dowment of the library he gave$500,000 and also a collection of booksvulued at over $1,000,000. In realitythis accumulation is of almost price-

less value because of the : rarity

of many of the volumes. InAmericana it is reputed to be the bestin the world, while its collection ofearly colonial, Spanl3h-Amerlcan andMexican records Is surpassed by few.A touching incident of the dedicationwas the presentation of the keys of thebuilding by the 4-year-o!d son of thedonor, who died before his benefac-tions had taken shape. y

Itis seldom that a city is perplexedby an opportunity of possessing twomain library buildings. Such an em-barrassment comes to the vcity ofNashua, N, H., which now owns the

Hunt Memorial Library building, uponnews that by the will of Mrs. Daniel

Husse^ of Kentucky, made' in 1871,the city is bequeathed $50,000 for apublic library building. The will stipu-lates that the building cost $40,000

and that $10,000 be invested for abook fund. A solution of this diffi-culty may be found in placing thesecond or new library building In thenorthern part "of Nashua.

The opening of Reno's $15,000 Car-negie building on June 4 crowned theprolonged labors of a few earnest menand women in securing legislation andin awakening general interest in free

libraries In Nevada.

The Fresno library wants—

as whatlibrary does not?-

—more books. An-

swering an appeal, a citizen offers togive 5 cents a day for twelve monthsby purchasing each month a $1 50book of his own selaction. which issubject to the approval of the librarianand trustees. He proposes that 499others try the same experiment.

Not satisfied by giving, with hispartner, a $2000 library building to theLaton Library Association of Laton,

Fresno County, Captain Saunders haschallenged his fellow citizens by an-other proposition. , He now offers theassociation $100 if it will raise an-other hundred by October 1.

LIBRARIES IN NEVADA^

One of the leaders in library workthus voices the belief of the far-seeing

men of this age, saying: "No thought-ful man can question that it is a su-preme concern to provide for our peo-ple the best of the literature of powerwhich inppires and builds characterami of the literature of knowledgewhich informs and builds prosperity.This can be done effectively and eco-nomically only through free public* li-braries. A limited number can buy, orhire* their books, but experience hasproven that unless knowledge is asfree cs air or water. It is fearfullyhandicapped, and ths state cannot af-ford to allow even the smallest ob-stacle to remain between any of itscitizens and the desire" for either in-spiration or information."

The Union Club of Santa Barbarahas donated a fine painting of Car-penteria Creek to the Public Library.

Sometimes the question is thought-lessly asked, "What Is the use of apublic library?" One answer may begiven in the description of a singlegroup that recently* stood before thedelivery desk of a free library. Therewere present four nurses from theState Hospital for wprks on physiol-ogy; three machinists, wanting latemechanical jvorks; two Swedes, askingfor books fn their native tongue; ayoung lady, for a description of Eng-land's crown jewels; a craftsman, seek-ing Information .as to women's guildsin America, and a clergyman, callingfor the best magazine articles on thenegro question..But there is a pitifulaspect in con-nection with the lack.of knowledge inthe public mind concerning the func-tions of the public library. There arethousands of people Inour large citieswho do not know even of the existenceof a free library in their midst. A lateincident in one of our bay cities em-phasizes this statement. It.seems thata longshoreman, who Is a,constantreader of library books 'at the noonlunch hour, had often been asked byhis mates what his books cost him.They refused to believe that there wasany institution in their city whichgave such privileges without charge.Reporting his experience with them tothe library management. It is Interest-ing to know that they at once took upthe matter for investigation.

Many of the larger libraries of thecountry which have longest beengrappling with the problem of how toreach the masses with good readingfind it advisable to do what every mer-chant does

—advertise. This is often

found most effective through placardshung on office, workshop and dockwalls.

OITICEKS ELECTED.

Because the Carriage Manufacturers'Association has refused to renew theagreement and the three unions affili-ated with this particular association—the Carriage Painters' Union No. 66,Carriage Woodworkers' Union No. 69and Carriage Blacksmiths' Union No.99

—there is a feeling of unrest existing

in the minds of the members of theseunions. They believe that the associa-tion intends to declare for an openshop. The association informed theunions that there would be no imme-diate change from the present-condi-tions regarding wages and hours, butpositively declined to renew the agree-ment.

The Master Steam Fitters' andPlumbers' Association has declined tosign an agreement presented • by theJourneymen Plumbers, Gas Fitters andSteam Fitters and their helpers on thesame terms and conditions as. havebeen in operation during the past year.

One of the objectionable sectionswhich prevented the signature of therepresentative of the Masters' Associa-tion is the stipulation that "No em-ployer must hire a helper who is not amember of the Journeymen's Union."This clause is heldi under a recent de-cision of the Supreme Court of Illinois,to be unconstitutional and the Masters'Association will probably remain firmin its refusal to accept the agreement.

TROUBLE EXPECTED.

A mass meeting of the striking sta-blemen and hack drivers was held atTurk-street Temple last night and ad-dresses made to the men by;James Mc-Cue and James Bowlen calculated torouse the spirits of any weak ones whomight be wavering. About 2.00 men

were in attendance and the remarks ofthe speakers were roundly applauded.The Citizens' Alliance was made a par-ticular target of attack, Bowlen stat-ing that Anthony Gallagher, who waskilled a week ago in a clash betweenunion and non-union men, was mur-dered at the direct instance of the Citi-zens' Alliance. Itwas also stated thatthe San Francisco Labor Council hadagreed to raise $1000 to retain James G.Maguire to represent the strikers in thepending Injunction proceedings againstthe sandwich men and that strike ben-efits would be paid regularly. In viewof these conditions the men were urgedto "stand pat."

WASHINGTON. July 2.—

John J.Hill, who was found unconscious inBan Francisco and later died, was for-merly an attorney in this city. Hewas unmarried. His father is em-ployed in*the Pension Bureau here.Young Hill was recently appointed toa clerkship in the Philippines at asalary of $900 per year.

Even the police believe that Hillwas

struck down for the purpose of rob-bery. When he was found at the cor-

ner cf Beale and Mission streets earlyFriday morning no valuables were onhie person. He had money when he se-cured his transportation and after hehad paid hi* hotel bill. The cause ofhis death vn* undoubtedly a harddealt blow, as Dr. Bacigalupi found,during the autopsy, that concussion ofthe brain had been so intense that itcould not have resulted from a fall.

Xo word had been received from theQuartermaster's department last nightas to Hill's antecedents, though thetransfer from the Virginia stationwoald indicate that he had been in theservice prior to being transferred toManila.

Coroner Leland had a jury summonedyesterday afternoon to view the re-mains before they were taken to theLogan and the same men willlater in-vestigate Hill's death.

After the Jury viewed the remains,

Hill's body was placed ina casket andtaken from the morgue in an army

wagon to the transport Logan, whereit will be cared for until the authori-ties at Washington decide what shallbe done or relatives claim it.ItIs understood that the matter will

be taken up by the Government andthe case turned over to the secret ser-vice department for investigation.

1>EAI*S IX THE COUXTRY.

The sales In the first half of 1904were distributed as follows: 50-varas,

379 sales, amounting to $5,S20,050;100-varas, 21 sales, amounting to $3,-

703,0S0; Potrero and South San Fran-cisco, 250 sales, amounting to $272,-341; Mission, 996 sales, amounting to$2,520,386; Western Addition, 994sales, amounting to $7,687,544; outsideland and homesteads. 1014 sales, rep-resenting $2,004,828. These figures

show the strong driftof capital towardinvestments in the resyience portionsof San Francisco. Downtown pricesare stiff and the people who believe inSan Francisco are devoting much at-tention to various sections where im-provement is assured, with consequent

appreciation of values.During the month of June the sales

of city realty amounted to $4,176,550,

the largest amount of any month inthe first half of the present year. Asshowing the immediate direction ofpublic interest, the distribution ofsales for the month just passed is alsogiven, the figures being taken from theReal Estate Circular: 50-varas. 152sales, $2,065,825; 100-varas, 33 sales,$516,875; Potrero and South SanFrancisco. 39 sales. $41,300; Mission,163 sales. $402,120; Western Addition,

130 sales. 1870,130; outside lands, 156sales, $260,300. Altogether there were673 sales in June, representing a valueof $4,176,550.

Building contracts In the citv ofSan Francisco during the first sixmonths of the present year repre-sented a value In improvements of$8,525,129. Thomas Magee &. Sons, Intheir Real Estate Circular, report 3844transfers of -city realty in the sameperiod for $22,008,229. This is thelargest number of sales in any sixmonths with one exception in the his-tory of the city. Last year the salesin the first six months numbered 2824and in the first six months of the pre-ceding year they were 3541. The onlysix months equaling the first half ofthe present year in number of saleswas in 1869, when the Central PacificRoad entered the city. The total thenwas 4615. Inthe second half of 1869the sales were but 2293. The Circularsays:

"Itwillthus be seen that in the year1869 the sales In the second half ofthe year were more. than 40 per centless than in the first half year inamount and more than 50 pet centless in number. The sales likewise inthe second half year of 1875 dropped50 per cent In amount and more than2SH per cent in number. This show-ing for the first half of the year 1904is therefore most gratifying, and theindications seem to point to no great

cessation in real estate transactionsfor the balance of the year 1904."
