ewer district ordinance. Thi an
couueeui-nt will give pleasure to 93
p-r cent, of the people of the North
Ei! A want of proper sewerage is
one of the greatest evil we have to

sanitary condition of the ptaot.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
In "Lady Windermere's Fan," which
will be presented by Charles Frohman'
company at tbe acadeinv this evening.
Oscar Wilde disappoinis no one. Peo
ple expect something out of the ordi
nary from him and tiiev always get it.
Columns have been written about the
play since it was produced in London,
and with that production the fame of
Oscar Wilde emerged from tne eclipa
into which it went after his salad an 1
sunflower day. An excellent perform
ance of the play is promised, the com
pany being headed by Miss Virginia
Harned. formerly leading lady to Mr.
Southern Miss Harned acts the part
of a woman with a past.
A TTXAS STEER.
Hoyt has never written anything for
the stage so consistently and uproar
iously funny hs "A Textl Steer. Giv
ing its initial metropolitan production
oyer three years ago, this satire on
Washington and Texan domestic and
political life was forced from the stage
of the Bijou theater, New York city,
after a run of over five months, to meet
the clamor of out of town managers
who held contracts for its production
in their respective cities. Its return to
Scranton for an engagement of one
night, next Thursday, Feb. 22, will
doubtless be greeted with a welcome
that will solidly demonstrate its popu
larity. It would be singular if tne
theme hit upon by Mr. Hoyt did not
furnish ronsing entertainment.
HANDS ACROSS THE 3EA.
That bright little soubrette, Mis
Dell Ellerson. ia this season playing the
role of Lucy Nettlefold in "Hands
Aero the Sea, " and the press speaks
of her acting in tbe very highest terms.
Mies Ellerson is not only a very clever
actress, bnt is also a very handsome
woman. Tbe play will be seen at the
Academy on Friday aud Saturday
evenings and Saturcay afternoon.

PUASANT SURPSISE PARTY".
The trustees of the Sttranton Public
librur have issued their report for tbe
year 1803. which niukoa the third an
nnal. The address to the councils is as fol
lows :
To tbe honorable, the select aud common
councils of the city of BcfantOD,
iHnti.kmks 1 It is with unalloyed pleas
ure Hinl honorable pride iu this third an.
nual report, the board of trustees can Con
gratulate you, the people of Serautou, in
having ii well selected working library.
Vhe use of tbe memorial building aud dis
tribution of book therefrom attest iu si
Itnre more emphatic than words, an ap
preciation OB the part of the people of the
gifts of the buiMing, grounds aud bonks,
and of the commendable interest which
you hs councilmeu have shown.
Mr. Albright at the inception of his gift
of a memorial building pledged an expendi
ture of $75,000, and Kxeurod the same by a
deposit of collaterals in order to guard
aoatnat unv contingency. The final cost
ot the building and appurtenances to him
has reached 1188 000; tne vouchers aud
payment tor winch have at his request
passed through the hands of the president
of the board.
The reports of tbe secretary nnd libra
rian, with the summary of the expendi
tures for the year ISBSt tell their own beti
eticial story. The rapid growth in the
utility of the library may OS uuderstood
from the fact that a maximum of over
1,000 visitor in one day has been at
tuiued, that 6,307 name have been regis
tered as borrowers, and U.il.Vl books have
been out at one time. All classes and lines
of society are attracted to its enclosure
and receive freely the benefit which self
culture, the best promise of future
growth, affords.
Iu our estimate for the absolute necessi
ties of the library tor tho coming year, wo
have cut close to the Una of rigid econ
omy. The estimate is slightly Increased,
but we assure the councils, aud through
thm the citizens, that we make no pres
sure on hem. which i not made up m us,
tiv the tacts aud the huiwer of our na
trons, who are your wards. We sincerely
trust that you will see your way clear to
grant our "praver in this regard. The
building and grounds, if spontaneous ex
pression of the people aud of all intelli
gent critics, which have come to us, are
any criterion, have more than met all ex
pectations iu their utility aud elegance,

The summary of expenditures for tho
past year will be found among the reports
herewith presented.
The accessions to the book department
during the year were4."3, making a pres
ent total of IS, 720 volumes.
A great encouragement to the manage
meut of the institution is found in the
spontaneous and unsolicited generosity of
those who have adtleil their guts or valua
ble books to the library. Wo trust that
this spirit will grow and be a constant
support nnd a fitting compliment to the
int-rest which our municipal authorities
and public otlicers aud representatives,
both state and national, are showing.
The meetings of the board bave been of
the most interesting and harmonious char
acter, and the fuitbfulness of all tbe otli
cers engaged in the active work of the
library are worthy of special mention. We
desire to place the future growth and ex
cel leuce of this beneficial Institution, both
as to its incoming supplies aud its outgo
ing benefits, as a grateful burdu'i on tbe
hearts of all of our people, young and old:
and we invite kind, intelligent aud faith
ful exsmination aud criticism, and a uni
versal nse of its privileges.

MANY BOOKS TAKCN
from Li bra -interesting:
our.
Tho number of book takers has proven
large from the first and fully In excess of
any prior anticipations. From flay 26 to
Dec. 30, 18113, a total of 6,807 names were
registered and library cards is-ued to same
as follows; City borrowers. 6,960; non
residents, 33; deposits nnd special, 14.
Thero were surrendered or cancelled for
ono reason or another, SO cards; leaving in
force at tho end of tho year, 6,891. Of the
,307 enrde issued 500 were to males and
3 s47 to females: 4.65!l were to por-ons aged
18 years and upwards and 1,648 to those
undor that age.
As to locality in tho citv no spoclflc
count has been kept, hut frequent Inspec
tion of tbe applications and home address
es recorded shows u good representation
from all sections, even those most remote
from tho library.
Particulars concerning the home circu
lation ot books will appear iu a summary
appended to this report. Total issues from
the circulating department for the seven
months l7o days), number 85,021; a daily
average of 500. This wns exceeded, how
ever, by the daily average in November,
which wna 699, Largest Issue of anyone
day was 1,018, on Monday, Oct. 2. Largest
daily number out in the hands of readers
was 3,053, on Monday, Dec. 1.
Percentage ot circulation from the sov
end sections of tbe librnry, other tban
Prose Fiction aud Juveniles, has been
higher than was originnlly expected aud
shows a large class of reading of inostgrut
ifyiog character.
Use of reforenre department hns not been
specifically recorded In statistical terms
since, of those hooks, over 3,(100 aro placed
on open shelves for public access and read
ers make uvnil thereof freely. That por.
ti 'ii of the library has received a pleasing
patronage unci the MUM . is true of the
reading room proper as well as of tho pe
riodical literature placed thero for free ac
cess and nse.
Annual report of 1802 showed the pos
session ot 14, 100 volumes at the oloso of that
year. Accessions of 18'JH number 4,633 vol
umes of which 1108 were by gift. 980 by pur
chase from Citizens' Subscription fund and

balauce on haud Dec. 30, 1893, ia 18,720
volume.
Whether the library can continue to
grow a vigorously in 1804 depends, In the
main, upon the extent of the appropria
tions for that year. Having now a good
start and foundations well laid, ft will be
possible then to give especial attention to
the matter of duplicating, more or less, In
the line of most popular and ' Bervicenble
works, and of filling up any classes found
deficient in quantity.
A "finding list" of books In the circu-
USUng department, up to tho oud of Feb
ruary, 181)3, wus punted iu March and
April, making a handy pamphlet of 204
page in manlila bag-board cover. Being
in readiness at the opening of the library
aud sqid to book-takers at the nominal
price of 10 cents each. I.'.CI copies have
been so taken, up to tho close of i the year.
Two hundred and fifty copies remained
for sale at that date, together with a small
number additional in uubouud sheets for
future use.
Lists of additions to tbe circulating de
partment, since the punted finding list,
have been currently made on the typo
writer aud posted on the bulletin board
at the library. During 1894 it will prob
ably bo desirable that those and subse
quent additions be printed in a supple
ment form and supplied to the library
patrons. While doing this it may be feas
ible, perhaps, to combine with it an author
Index to the entire contents of the library
and thus supply a feature which was omit
ted from the original finding list fur rea
sons of economy.
As usual, exchanges with other librar
ies and Institutions huvo beou carried on
sine - the last report; resulting in tho r
csipt of many catalogues, reports, bill
lot ins and kindred1 publication of interest
and value. Various other volumes aud
pamphlets have beou given to the library
from sundry sources, as showu iu list
