Our Public Libraries =1 Public Libraries are among the char- acteristic manifestatmns of the educa- tional movement of the time. ‘ Their multiplication and growth all over the country within the past few years have been very remarkable and still more im- portant is the evidence that their popu- lar use is increasing even more rapidlr. In the State of New York, where the , free libraries are under the general supervision of the Regents of the Uni- versity, their number has increased in three years from‘238 to 351,witl1 an ag- gregate of 1,313,239 volumes and the free circulation, which was 2,293, 861 in 1813 and 3,146,403 in 1895, rose last year to 3,933,623 volumes. In New York city there are nineteen libraries recognized in the municipal system, which had a combined circulation of 1,529,385 vol- tines. These will receive, for the cur- rent year, an appropriation of $96,700. The figures above given are con- sidered especially encouraging as re- garding New York. This being the case there, what is to be said of the two pub- lib libraries in the Norwalk twin cities. .111 population and number of volumes compared with the empire city, the showing made by the Norwalk and South Norwalk public libraries as to number of books drawn, are far in ex- cess of New York. ' Every library must contain many ‘l‘iooks that are only occasionally called for and many that are not taken out, but are to be consulted only 1n the reading rooms; yet, making no allow- ance for these, it wOuld appear both in New York and in the Norwalks, a most of the public Whatever one’s convincing evidence library’ a usefultesu. theories may be on tae subject, it is evident that free public libraries have: become a recognized accompaniment of free public schools, and the wise and successful start that has been made hen, gives promise of the widest de- velopmeut. —-——~———-4 O >_...___.____. T0 MURDER THE SULTAN. The Young Turks Say He Is a Mad Dog and Must Be Killed. LONDON, Jun. 18 —-The Young Turk agitation is spreading in the Balkan pe ninsula. Placards posted on the walls of towns denounce the sultan in unmeasured terms. One placard which was torn down by the police of Philippolis was printed in red ink. This has created a great stir and alarm among the Turks, as it is believed to indicate a determination to resort to vi- olent measures. The red printed placard read: “Sultan Hamid is known to be mad, and our reli- gion prescribes us to kill every-mad dog. The Young Turks, who have hitherto ab- stained from bloodshed, have now decided to assume the title of revolutionary and in future will use arms against the sultan - and his followers. It is our duty now to kill, burn and ruin everything connected with the Yildiz kiosk. We shall blow it up. ) i The proclamation concluded with call- ing upon the Turks:-— to seek revenge, in- forming them that the hour to strike had arrived and adding, “Let every true Mos- 19m do his duty.” A LONG AGO MURDER. After Twenty-five Years Colyer Hall Must Answer For His Crime. JACKSONVILLE, F151,, J an. 18.—A special to The Citizen from Pensacola says an un- usual incident occurred in the circuit court there yesterday when Colyer Hall, an aged and highly respected citizen of Mobile, who was arrested last summer for a mur- der committed in Escambia county. Fla., 25 years ago and released on a bond of $15,000, was in court to answer to the charge. His case was set for trial on the 8th of February, and he left the courtroom. In the meantime the grand jury had come into court and filed a. new indict- ment against him for murder, it being held ‘ by the state’s attorney that the old indictment is defective. Hall- was imme- diately taken into custody by the sherifi and committed to jail. The strangest part of the case is that nearly every witness to the crime of a. ' quarter of a century ago is alive and ap- peared before the grand jury. _.______ 6 - Wilbur-'3 Domestic Trouble. WASHINGTON, Jan. ism—Upon the mo- tion of- counsel for Representative David F. Wilbur of New York, whose wife, Myra. 6. Wilbur, sued him here for alimony and support several days ago, Judge Cox has signed. an order restraining Mrs. Wilbur from removing Edith M. Wilbur, the child of the parties, from the district. The or- der also requires Mrs Wilbur to produce the child in court Wednesday next, at which time Mr. Wilbur is required to show cause why the temporary restraining order issued against him by the court the day the suit was filed shall not be made per- manent. “Condos-s of the Pamlrs. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 18.—Two Danish officers have just returned from exploring the Pamirs. They traversed hitherto un- known districts, discovered dwarf tribes and fire worshipers, domestic animals which were also diminutive and donkeys the size of a. large European dog and sheep‘ no larger than poodles. The use of money was unknown among these tribes, and 5 - “women were bartered for 15 sheep apiece. - TH E EVENING G AZETTE A coL__0_ WAVE. lhe Best Way To Prepare f___or it.

R. used to, but now “its different.” He says: ‘I have‘eufi‘ared with the most per- sistent and troublesome forms of nasal catarrh for many years and have been extremely susceptible to severe colds in the head, especially immediately after getting rid of a previous cold. I thus had a continuous cold. During a recent cold I used California Catarrh Cure, and 1t not only enabled me to throw off that cold quickly, but kept me from contracting another; and, more than all, so benefitted my catarrh that I have not had a trace of the disease since the first seven or eight applica- tions. ” The patient had catarrh in the head. He caught cold after cold, The disease spread down his throat. He began to inhale the disease banishing medica- tion,California Catarrh Cure. It bathed the membranes of his head and throat. The soreness of the head and throat bacame less and the desire to hawk and spit began to disappear. But per- haps best of all, he cured chronic catarrh by preventing the constant succession of colds, which continually aggravated the disease, made it more painful and tended to set more firmly upon the sufferer. California Catarrh Cure will do for all cases what it dld for Mr. Fisher; it breaks up the worst colds, prevents more colds and cures the worst forms of chronic catarrh.
