The Head of n Public Library Must Be Much More than ti Mere Custodian. Philadelphia Press. The usefulness of apubllc library to a community is not measured by books and building, but by the ability of its librarian and the number of its readers. Put a good librarian in a roomy shed with a few thousand books and he will do more for a city and its real education than a man who is not both an able and a trained librarian with half a million books and a building which, cost $1,000,000 or, as in Boston, four times the value of the books it houses. A great public library to-day is simply terminal facilities and a distributing station for literature. The business of being a librarian has to be learned just as :nuch as the business of being a railroad man, and ' to p?ople in libraries the best librarians are just as well known as the best railroad men are to people about railroad offices. A good librarian of the first rank can get $10,000 a year without asking for it, and he is cheap at the price, a good deal cheaper than a poor man at $1,000. No man really . equal to managing a library with an income of $30,000 or $40,000 a year can ba got for less than $4,000 or $5,000, though men can be had cheaper, and cheap management, always the dearest, Aill be the result. A librarian to-day is not a man who can talk about various kinds of books in an interesting way, or who can catalogue books, or who for years has always been at odd library jobs or even is interested in "literature," and thinks that his "general knowledge of books" fits him for the work of librarian. The new librarian is as active and pushing as any. business man; he studies a city like a retail dry-good3 man, he sees what people are going to read, and he uses the knowledge to turn them to what they ought to read. He classifies, and catalogues, and arranges and distributes his store of 100,000 or 500,000 books so that the rare book which some specialist wants to see once in ten years can be got just as easily and as quickly as the novel which every one wants and of which the library has to have fifty copies. Such a librarian knows what schools are studying, and he puts books in the way of the pupils. He knows what is going on, and the delivery desk is always ready with an answer to any question about the books on any subject up for talk. He is live to the finger tips and he makes all his books live. No big auction of book rarities worth their weight in bank notes which takes place from Berlin to San Francisco passes without his - getting what the library needs, and no ragged boy strays into the', public library wondering what it is like but finds himself, he does not quite know how, seated and reading an interesting book. A PUZZLE FOR DEBUTANTES. They Fall to Understand Why Certain Other Girls Are Popular. Philadelphia Press. There's another perplexity the debutante is going to be confronted -with, and that's the secret of what makes popularity. She sees that pretty girls, and clever girls, and rich girls all have excellent chances to begin with, but that even those with all these things in their favor don't invariably make a success, while occasionally girls who aren't really pretty, r.ot witty at all, nor rich either, come in and make a tremendous, success of it right over the heads of girls with the qualities they lack. She wants to know why that is. Well, the best way to find out is to ask owe of the men who dance with that sort of girl as many times as she will say yes during the evenIns. "What do you see in Mary Jones?" you say. "She's not pretty and she's not very clever." Then the young man will look at you as if he suspected you were not only bad tempered, but a little jealous of Mary as well and answer: "Oh, she's not a beauty, perhaps, but she's an awfully attractive looking girl, don't you think so? and then she's such a good sort." And when you come to analyze what "a good sort" 'means you'll find that it imRlies that Mary Jones is jolly, and gay, and good tempered, and very unselfish about trifles. She doesn't say nasty things about other girls; she is willing to let everybody share in her fun; he never plays any little mean social tricks; she i3 not taken up with herself all the while, and she is honest, genuine, frank and kindly. She is the girl who likes to talk to old gentlemen to give them the pleasure of a bit of gay gossip with a fresh young girl; she takes time to be civil to the old ladies, she sympathizes with the bashful girls younger than, herself and is good between whiles to awkward boys. She doesn't dangle about in hot rooms all day munching 1n lbons and reading novels, but is full of interests and occupations, and has the buoyancy and vigor of high health and overflowing spirits. The important part is that she doesn't pretend to be any of these things, but really is what she seems to be. The debutante will learn in time, as every one does learns that while it is very easy to pretend it is verv difficult to deceive people with pretenses. Our friends know our real characters pretty well, and the way to make people think we are good tempered and kindly is to be good tempered and kindly. A Story Tiat Sounds Fishy. ' MJajor Handy, in New Y'ork Mail and Express. The other day I saw an indignant Western congressman. "Look at that." said he:-"an other candidate for West Point turned dftwn and another big constituent made my enemy! But how am 1 to get the bovs in if they haven't the capacity?" To satisfy myself I sent for this one's examination papers, and I don't wonder that he didn't get through." I took the papers and loked them .-ver. They were about as funny as anything, that I have seen in a long while. Here are some ,of the questions and answers: "What oceans wash the shores of the continent of America?" Answer: "Atlantic. Pacific, Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western." "What is meant by latitude and longitude?" Answer: "There is no such thing." "In what latitude Is the city of New York?" K Answer; "If I wanted to know I would

look at a good atlas. "Where and when was the battle of Gettysburg fought, and who was the principal commander on either side?" Answer: "The battle of Gettysburg was fought in the Rocky mountains. Washington commanded the Americans and Lord Cornwallls the British. The British surrendered, but Washington would not take his sword. It was taken by General Montgomery." 1 . "Where does Mormonlsm exist? What is it? By whom was St suppressed?" Answer: 'Mormonism is a species of Mohammedanism.

WHEAT'S RAPID PACE

LEADING CEREAL SET IN WITH LIVELY' TRADING AND GAINED IC. Corn and Oats' Likewise Made Gnlns nnd Provisions Were In Lively Demand. - CHICAGO, Jan. . 5. The wheat market showed more bullish- vim during to-day's . short session than it has for a month back and at the close had gained a' clear lc per bushel on yesterday's final prices. Wheat set the pace for the other markets with the result that corn is c higher for the day and oats lie, higher, with the speculative articles in hog products also up a trifle. New York's buying of wheat through numerous commission houses , and August Brosseau's heavy purchases gave the market its final upward impulse. The wheat market perceptibly needed something to keep It up at the opening today. The scalpers seemingly had the entire crop for sale at from 57c down to 57c during the first ten . minutes of the session. The market received, at a critical moment, all the support it required and soon the scalpers were as unanimously trying to buy as they had previously been desirous of selling. Receipts were lighter than ever and foreign stocks small and their market steady. Chicago received forty-one carloads, Minneapolis reported receipts of 122 cars and Duluth 62 cars, or 184 together, compared with 322 cars on the , corresponding day a year ago. The United Kingdom stocks of wheat and flour were given by Beerbolm's at 12,000,000 bu, as compared with 29.000.C00 bu the corresponding day of the year before. One item of news was to the effect that the Argentine wheat crop is anywhere from 20 per cent, to 85 per cent, smaller this year than last, and of inferior quality. Several caoles gave further confirmation to the above eitect and heavy buying orders, based, it was sa;d, on the Argentine crop fanure, wtre received from New YorK. The market, from being rather weak, became very strong. May, which opened at trom 57c to 6tc, was cavorting around 58c near the close. A great deai of business1 was done and May closed at 58c. Corn opened very weak, but screwed up its courage when the boid advance in wheat was under way. The opening price for May was 47c, and from that down to 47c, as compared with 47c at the close yesterday. It rose in sympathy with wheat to 48c, and closed at 4?c. Oats were active throughout the session and quite a heavy business was transacted. Early in the day Counselman and Bartlett-Frazler offe-ed stuff freely and broke the market from 30c to 30!2c Then the' disposition to buy began to improve. Wheat and corn corrmenced to advance and the shorts in oats became alarmed and bid freely. The price started to go up and continued to do so until 31c was reached, at that price the market closed. Provisions were very steady, and, in the end, rather firm. The strength of wheat helped to sustain the hog market at the slight advance which marked the opening prices. May pork started with an advance of 2c, and, after dropping for a while, picked it up again and closed with that much gain for the day Lard and ribs rested at .02c over the closing price of the day before. The receipts of hogs were only 18.000, as compared with 22,000 estimated. Estimated cars, Monday Wheat, 72; corn, 400; oats, 155; hogs, 35,000 head; hogs, next week, 180,000 head.

This is the first complaint , made bv citizens of that suburb, and some of the citizens fear that the misfortunes of West Indianapolis are being transferred to them. The skating on the river near Haughville has been excellent for the last few dvs. and large crowds have been enjoying the sport A small twy named Dill, living in Haughville, fell and broke his arm yesterday while skating. The first real issue of the West-side Herald, a newspaper venture of Messrs. Brown & Smith, in West Indianapolis, appeared yesterday. An edition was published two weeks ago as an experiment, and it is claimed that the paper has now come to stay. The citizens of Haughville indignantly refute the charge that a policy game is running in that suburb. They say that agents for such a game, and also agents for a Southern lottery are constant visitors there, but that no such games are located in the town. Some even assert that the" policy game is located in Indianapolis and that the Interested persons are attempting to make it appear that the game is in Haughville In order to shield themselves. The West Indianapolis Council w ill meet to-morrow night. The principal business of the session will be the appointing of a fireman. There are a large number of applications in the clerk's hands for the position, and the appointment promises some controversy, as the two Democratic members claim that the appointment should be nonpartisan and should therefore go to a Democrat, but the Republican members can't see it that way and will probably appoint a Republican. A few citizens of West Indianapolis say, concerning the proposition that the next grand Jury take up the cases of the gambling dens of that suburb, that it is hardly necessary for that bedy to take the trouble, as Justice of the Peace Herig is doing everything that can be done. The keepers of the rooms have already been arrested and lined and the sarwe thing will be done again in a short time. It is claimed that this plan will be kept up until it will be too costly for the saloon men to run gambling room attachments. Anderson Post G. A. R., and its auxiliary the W. R. C, vill install officers to-morrow evening - in Grand. Army Hail. Delaware street. The exercises will be enlivened by popular music, t

Mr. Beerhohm Tree has leased the Haymarket Theater to Mr. Lewis Waller, an actor, during his absence on his American tour, and Mr. Waller Induced such well-known artists as Maud Millet, Julia Nellson Charles' Hawtree and Fanny Brough to join him In producing Mr. Wilde's play. The action takes place in London during the present day, and the play received splendid staging. As to the plot, it must , be classified as of the tawdriest character and unworthy of a playwright claiming originality. The story Is told by unreal characters, who excite no sympathy. The "modern woman" of the piece, understands everything except her husband. "An Ideal Husbnnd" is distinctly feebler than "Lady WIndemere's Fan" or "A Woman of No Importance," and the leading critics condemn it On the whole the successors of Mr. and Mrs. Beerbohm Tree at the Haymarket have not had an auspicious opening. Mr. Wilde replied to the call for a speech after the fall of the curtain, and thanked the audience for the pleasant evening which he had spent. Another failure must be chronicled at the Garrick Theater, where Sydney Grundy's "Slaves of the Ring" was produced on Dee. 31 before a notable and expectant audience, including Henry Irving and Ellen Terry. The play ends without a result of any kind, shows poverty of treatment, and Is altogether feeble, as the misunderstanding in the first act is easily removed and altogether'unneeded. But John Hare's acting as the Earl of Ravenscroft is the best he ever did, ' and Kate Rorke was also very successful. Miss Calhoun, a gifted American actress, who has not been seen here since she played Hester Prynne in "The Scarlet Letter," In 1888, also achieved success. "The Slaves of the Ring" Is an old play, but It has only just been produced after having been rewritten. In view f the failure of "The Slaves of the Ring," preparations for the production of Pinero's new play which is to fellow it, are being hurried torward. Unless there is a change in the program "The School for Scandal" will follow Mr. Pinero's work. The opening of the dramatic season of 1893 receives increased importance to-night at the St. James theater, where Henry James's "Guy d'Omville," was given. It is a romantic play in three acts. It was produced to a crowded house attended by many of the notables of London. Great interest was taken In the costumes. The play was a comedy in the manners of 1750. The scene Is laid in an out-of-the-way place In Som ersetshire. The play is a history of an old Catholic family. It was favorably- received by most of the persons in attendance. In the end there was a storm of hisses and "booing" from the pit and from the galleries that the applause from the stalls could not drown. After long and persistent calls for the author, George Alexander appeared, leading Henry James. This wasthe signal for a tumult in the pit, which both men faced without flinching for a moment and then retired In the midst of cries for Mr. Alexander. These cries were renewed and Mr. Alexander appeared on the stage several times, bowing to the people, but when he 'stepped to the center to speak hisses were so numerous that he could not be heard. He finally remarked: "I have received so many favors from the public hitherto that the discordant note to-night pains me deeply." This was followed by renewed interruptions, but Mr. Alexander continued: "I can only say that we have all worked' hard, and we hope, in our next effort, to win your favor." The speech of Mr. Alexander was regarded by many as injudicious, it being interpreted as a virtual admission of. the failure of the play, whereas, there is reason to believe that the animosity was really directed against Mr. James. On New Year's eve and again on Wednesday last a series of "Living Pictures" was presented at Osborne House before Queen Victoria and a number of guests. In these pictures, Prince and Princess Henry of Battenberg, the Marquis of Lome and the Princess Louise the Duchess of Albany and all the royal children, as well as the ladies Meade, daughters of the Earl of Clan William, the admiral commander in chief at Portsmouth, took part. Mrs. Fannie Bloomfleld Zeissler, of Chicago, accompanied by her husband, sailed for New York and Southampton on the steamship Paris to-day. Her recitals in the most important cities of the continent have everywhere met with the greatest success. She had a number of engagements in England, including one to appear at the Crystal Palace concerts in March, but she cancelled them, as she was anxious to get home. Mrs. Bloomfield Zeissler will probably return to Europe in May. CITY NEWS NOTES. Rev. N. W. Heermans, of Michigan City, will preach at Grace Cauiedral Sunday morning. Dr. R. H.
