Absolutely Necessary to Keep Up
Clllclonoy.
The seventh annual report of tho Al
bright Memorial library for tho year
JS97 has been Issued in pamphlet form.
It contains a thorough resume of the
year's work In the Beveral departments.
In point of circulation a. matter of
particular Interest, especially to pat
rons of the library tho last year's
record exceeded that of any previous
yenr. The registrations of 1S97 were as
follows: New, 2,182; registered, 2,110;
total. 4,201, of which 4,195 were city res
idents, 2C non-resident, and SO of teach
ers' or other special cards. Divided as
to sex, LP21 were males and 2.3S0 fe
males; as to ages, 3,746 were persons
of 10 years, nnd over, and 553 under that
age.
In addition to tho 4,459 cards canceled
under their two-year limit, 112 others
were surrendered or canceled sooner,
making a totul of 4,571; leaving 8.09G
cards in force nt tho close of the vear
1S97. There are also 232 extra, or stu
dent's cards, now valid (Issusd to rec
nlur card holders, but not Included In
the registration figures above), upon
which may be drawn additional books
other than prose llctlon or juvet-lles.
At tho close of the last report the
library had 27,943 volumes. Accessar
ies of 1897 numbered 3,191 volumes, of
which' 324 were by Rift and exchanges,
2,723 by purchase and 144 of United

ing the number worn out and lost dur
ing the year there Is a total of 30.5S1
volumes on hand.
Tho list of gifts and exchanges re
ceived In 1S97 Includes 350 volumes,
1,740 pamphlets and current numbers.
The report says of the South Side
branch:
SOUTH SIDE BRANCH.
"December 2 a combined branch
reading room and delivery station was
opened on the South Side at 1418 Pitts
ton avenue. Funds sufficient for its
maintenance d urine; the next few
months, have been provided by private
generosity. The undertaking Is In the
nature of an experiment In placing the
benefits of this institution easily at the
service of certain parts of the city moie
distant from the central library. It
could also be equally well followed In
other sections than this present one
if means for the purpose were at com
mand." AIfo included In the general report Is
the report made for the board of trus
tees by Vice President William T.
Smith'. This, report includes the esti
mates of expenditures for carrying on
the present year's work. In full the
report is as follows:
To tho Honorable, tho Select and Com
mon Councils of the City of Scranton:
Tho enforced absence of our honored
president, Hon. Alfred Hand, In search
of health and strength, devolves upon mo
tho duty of calling your attention to tho
progress and needs of the Scranton Pub
lic library.
That this institution has become a most
Important part of our educational system,
is well known to you nil; and tho record
of an a vera go distribution of 630 books
daily, a total of Kl.fiGO olumes for the
past year, ii evidence of how much it ,s
needed nnd how worthy It If of your gen
erous support. Tho existence of a li
brary whero all who choose, no matter
what their condition, may have access
to tho freo use of a collection of books
that the wealthiest Individual could
fcenrcely make and control, Is certainly
doing something for the mast.es In tho
right direction.
DETAILS OF THE WORK.
The annexed reports of the treasurer,
tho secretary and the librarian, will give
you full details of the work of the past
year, and show you how wisely and well
our appropriations have been used; and
I am sure your deep Interest In the gen
eral good of tho community, and your
prldo in this noblo Institution, will lead
you to approve of tho following esti
mates for the year 189$, placed with the
city controller:
For salaries and labor ($h0) per
month J 3,760 00
For Incidentals ($;M) per month. 3,000 TO
For books ($250 per month) 3,000 CO
Total current expense $11,760 00
For Improvements recommended,
viz.:
Stone, or asphalt, sidewalks on
Washington avenuo and Vine
street ?b00 M)
The amount nsked for current expenso
Is absolutely needed to keep up the ef
ficiency of the Institution. The need
for Improvements may not appear so Im
perative, yet it does not seem llko ask
ing too much of a city that has' received
so beautiful and somunlllcent a gift, to
furnish It with an appropriate sidewalk.
By tho aid of privato generosity, the
experiment of establishing u branch of
the library hus been made on the South
Side of the city. It wns opened Decem
ber 2. and will probably be continued tor
a year; If found huccessful, and desir
able, It will be Incorporated into the gen
eral library system.
Tho trustees huvo nothing but tho high
est commendation for tho librarian, Mr.
Cnrr, and his assistants. Tho elticieney,
courtesy and systematic business meth
ods of the librarian have been a most
important factor In the success of the in
stitution. And now, gentlemen, acknowledging
with gratitudo jour appreciation of our
needs In tho past, and bellovInK that you
recognize tho gcod Influence tho library
exerts In this community, wo confidently
ask your continued and generous support.
In behalf of tho board of trustees,
William T. Smith, Vice President.

ONC MimSTHIt'S VIEWS.
Editor of The Tribune
Sir: I sco by your editorial of this
morning that you bcllevo that ex-Mayor
Fellows Justly deserved the calling down
ho receltcd from Rev, Dr. McLeod, I
beg to differ and protest. I wns present
at the said meeting, and can bay that the
remarks made by tho speaker can bo cor
roborated by every man that lovo good
citizenship nnd that desires a clean na
tional, state or municipal government.
The romarks made was not expected to
bo endorsed by any who upholds the
present condition of affairs and who hold
high influential position In the community
and in whoso congregation uppears tho
millionaires who today sway a tremend
ous power with their wealth In corrupt
ing tho body polltlct. Wo all know the
perilous drift of polltlcts today, and the
power money sways in their corruption.
We ulso know that character and prin
ciple aro no longer considered ns a picre
qulslto to political honor und that men
seek political preferment for personal
ends; and that Integrity and truth And
no longer a place In our political life.
And it can bo said to tho sliamo of tho
church that tho conscience of men aro
so hardened that we ilnd them very often
stirring tho (ires of Gods alters with ono
hand, whilst with tho other they give
readily of their wealth to purchase for
them what honor nnd Integrity would not
do. This money Is given under the pre
tense of paying compalgn expenses; but
alas, every honest and upright citizen
know that the money Is used by the con
sent of the elver to the corruption of
our body polltlct. I fall to Bee why ltev.
Dr. McLeod should take the position he
did unless the speaker cut to close to him
self and his congregation.

DEPUTY MINK'S
DESPERATE TASK
Ho Succeeded In Arresting Fourteen.
Ycar-nid Thomas Collins.
CROWD ENTERED A PROTEST
Thoy Did Not Iitke the Mnnnor in
Which tho Deputy Constable Was
Handling Ills Prisoner -- Might
Have lioen Trouble If Patrolman
Johler Had Not Arrlred-l!oy Com
mitted to tho County Jail by Alder
man Wright.
Deputy Constable Frederick Mink,
attached to the Ninth ward aldcrmanlo
court, arrested a boy yesterday. True,
It took from .twenty to thirty minutes
to make the trip from the City Hall,
where tho boy was arrested, to Alder
man Wright's oillcc, two blocks dis
tance; true, also, Deputy Constable
Mink had .to drag his prisoner by the
use of his two hands, and, true, finally,
the boy had been discharged by Mayor
Bailey a few minutes before on tho
samo charge for which he was now be
ing arrested but, nevertneless, with
all, etc., Mink landed his prisoner.
More than this did Deputy Constable
Mink; he afterward was called upon
to .take this 14-year-old boy to the
county Jail In default of $200 ball,
nsked by Alderman Wright, after a
hearing on tho charge.
The boy was Thomas Collins, son
of a widow who lives on Ash street,
this city. Thomas, despite his small
stature, got Into a tussle with Joseph
Coldschlager, a boy of 18 years. This
happened Monday evening on Penn
avenue. Who was "licked" Is best
shown In the fact that Goldschlager
pointed out Collins to Patrolman Hart
and the little chap was taken to
the police statfon, pending a hearing
In the morning.
DISCHARGED BV MAYOR.
Young Collins spent Monday night
In a cell. In police court yesterday
morning Mayor Bailey found that there
was not sufficient evidence to hold the
boy and he was discharged with a rep
rimand. Meanwhile, however, tho Goldschlag
er boy's father had appeared before
Alderman O. B. Wright, of the Ninth
ward, and had sworn out a warrant
for Collins' arrest charging assault and
"battery. The warrant was given over
to Deputy Constable Mink. The lat
ter took the warrant and stationed
himself In .the corridor of the city hall.
When Colling was discharged by Mayor
Bailey Mink nabbed the boy, saying:
"You are my prisoner!"
Then grasping his quarry firmly the
deputy constable began the trip to the
alderman's office. Young Collins, af
ter a night spent In the close confine
ment of a police station cell, naturally
rebelled against this sudden eclipse of
his freedom. Mink says he tried to
run away. However that may be! the
deputy constable caught the little fel
low's wrist with one hand, and with
the other grabbed him by the neck.
In this position ho escorted the boy
down Washington avenue.
A large crowd was attracted by tho
unusual sight and followed after the
constnble nnd his midget prisoner.
Shouts of "Let him go!" "Shame!
Shame!" and the like were directed at
the constable. But Mink plodded on.
At the corner of Washington avenue
and Spruce street the crowd, consist
ing of men nnd boys, kept up a con
stant shouting of derisive expressions
and earnest appeals for the release of
tho prisoner. "Where's your -warrant?"
demanded a business man,
pushing himself In front of the con
stable. "Run away boy, get away from
him." called .out ex-Deputy Sheriff
"Billy" Craig from hl carriage. Tho
demonstration became so omnlous that
Mink sent a boy for a policeman.
JOHLER ON THE SCENE.
Patrolman John Johler was located
nnd hurried up to the corner, where
Mink stood with his prisoner. u.e
nlderman's ofllce Is not fifty yards dis
tant. "What do you want, Mink?" asked
Patrolman Johler.
"Why," replied Mink, "these men
here say I've no right to take this
boy. Look at this warrant," and the
constable handed out his authorita
tive paper.
Patrolman Johler read It: "The war
rant's all right," he announced to the
crowd.
Mink went on. Finally the alder
man's ofllce was reached. The crowd
followed In. Young Goldschlager, with
his father, was present. He was called
upon and gave his story of his fight
with Collins the day before.
"I hold you in $200 ball for court,"
was Alderman Wright's Judgment on
the prisoner. The commitment papers
were accordingly made out, and Col
lins was taken to the county Jail by the
same Deputy Constable Mink.

MEARS &
Mink, in telling of tho affair, said:
"He was trying to run awny."
"He's a wiry little tarter" put in
Alderman Wright.
"Yes," continued Mink; "he tried to
get away. I got hfm first llko this."
Ho caught a firm grasp on the report
er's coat sleeve.
"Then," said Mink, suiting tho ac
tion to the word, "I grabbed a hold
of his wrist and caught him with this
hand by the neck. Why, I nlmost had
to carry him!"
"Did you bend hlo arm behind his
back, so that ho cried out from pain 7"
"No, no, I didn't I only bent It hls
way"-and the constable bent the re
porter's arm half way up his back so
thpt It hurt.
"After I took the boy to Jail," con
tinued Mink, "I went to look for his
mother, on ABh street, but I couldn't
find her. I don't believe Rhe lives there.
The little scamp said she's lived there
threo weeks. I think he lied."
Thomas Collins, 14 years old, Is still
a prisoner In the county Jail.
