Succumbs to Typhoid Fever at His
Home in Dalton.
Attorney David W. Brown died early
yesterday morning of typhoid fever at
his home In Dalton. U was for itev
erul years a member of tho Lackawan
na county bar and was an -pnnclpal
of Keystone academy.
Mr. Brown was 42 years old. Ho was
Lorn in Lathrop township, near Hop
bottcm, in Susquehanna county, whora
his mother, Mrs. Xenas Brown now re

in life Mr. Brown taught school in tho
country and later attended Keystone
academy, where, after his graduation,
lv was retained as Instructor in pen
manship. Ho later entered Colgato
university unci graduated there in 1S82.
During that year he married Miss
Miry L. Hill, of Montrose.
Mr. Brown studied law In Montroso
with Little & Allen and entered the
bar there in 1KS5. He practiced law
th"i-e for live years and then relin
quished practlco to accept tho prlncl
palshlp of Keystone academy at Fnc-

HER POINT OF VIEW.
'A great deal ot superfluous comment
has been made on nil sides regarding
the library book question. It Is really
a stupendous task for any one person
or any one faction, or any one society,
religious or otherwise to satisfactorily
settle what Is good for nil tho world to
read. There are smc souls so envel
oped In nn Impalpable armor of un
conscious purity that a bad book would
have no power to penetrate that inner
security. There are othoro so suscept
ible to this most Insidious danger that
for them, the Bible, Shakespeare and
even the fairy tales of childhood should
bo thoroughly expurgated. There are
people who read books with the sole
hopo of finding something sug -estlve
to satisfy a sensual taste, but tho av
erage reader of ordinary Intelligence,
reads simply to be amused anil the
style of literature ho selects conveys
no practical Idea to his mind ns to
whether this theology Is sound, whether
Christian science or the strongest Pres
byterian doctrine Influences the author
In the written sentiments. To him, or
genernlly speaking, to "her," the book
Is a good or bad according as It ends
In the triumph of the hero over all his
enemies and tho happy marriage of
the heroine, or In tho tragic death of
the chief chaructcrs. In the latter case
she Is rather prone to designate It to
her friends as a "perfectly horrid
book."
Scranton Is a fair representation ot
the world at largo In Its literary tastes,
All races, all creeds and all degrees
of Intelligence are found within the
city's confines. The person ot a scien
tific turn of mind sees no reason why
any book not bearing on scientific sub
jects should be found on the shelves of
the Albright Memorial Library. He
approves only W that fiction which con
tains a. plot hinging on nn abstruse
point In his favorite theme and even
such boks he Is likely to sniff nt as
having been written by some one who
didn't know what he was talking nbout.
The average young girl who hasn't
had the boon of a cultured mother to
direct her earliest literary tastes, will
naturally weep over the woes of Edna
Browning and consider the Dickey's
and Algy's of the Duchess too sweet
for anything.
Tho "history girl" has her Innings
now and revels in the fnd nf the day
and couldn't become Interested In tho
sickly sentimental of the school girl
favorites of other years.
A West Side man who perhaps toils
by day or night In the mines, comes
over to the library, or now, that ho has
n branch station nearer homo, selects
some abstruse philosophical subject or
some biographical work and feeds his
yenrningy for a wider sphere and lives
another beautiful life above the sordid
one of the piesent. I have seen German
young men rending poetry at the llb
rury and hnve peeped at the book held
by a dark browed Italian to find It a
study of architecture. I saw a clergy
man rending "tho Damnation ot
Theron Ware" which by tho way I be
lieve he could not get from the literary
non, and a fair little maid with a
flower like face was seen the other
evening with her hands clasped over
her brow In a thoughtful attitude, por
lng over a literary review. Oh It would
be a hard matter for any one Intellect
to plan n schedule of reading for thN
community or even to say what tne
other people shall not read. Fortunate
ly we have olio of the wisest. moHt
tactful librarians ever called to the
delicate vocation he follows and his
careful discreet management of those
matters Is a subject of admiration by
all who know the inside workings of
the library.
The fact Is that when a demand i3
mode that n certain book shall be
withdrawn from circulation, Librarian
Carr quietly removes! that book from
the shelves and placidly stands It by
Its head In a corner reserved for those
In disgrace and general Usability. The
truth of thp matter is that less than a
dozen books have this unenviable op
portunity for reflection upon their tnls
wnt mission to Scranton. Let mo see!
there Is the Lady of Quality with her
regal beauty and willful contradiction
of character, with her saintly later
years in which the misguided past lu
atoned for and forgiven. She stands on
lur head In this tabooed corner in a
manner quite lu keeping with tho un
ties attributed to the Cloiinda nf the
wild riotous days In her father's an
cestral dn Us.
"A Summer in A ready" occupies an
ndjacent space on that same shelf nnd
let it lip here said n rightful place,
away from tho absorbing grsp of too
young minds. where, by the way, should
also be placed the lecture on the "Harp
of the Senses," given recently In the
high school nuditorlum by Professor Do
Motto a really excellent lecture, but
not at all suited to little gltin In short
frocks nnd little boys In knickerbock
ers, such ns made up the larger por
tion of his nudlencc.
There aro two or three other books
which nro alleged to contain u profus
ion of swear words not deemed partic
ularly ornamental to the vocabulary of
the boy with a taste for tales of ad
venture, for whom the stories were
written.
But here let It bo mentioned that the
works' of the late 13. P. Roo have not
been withdrawn from public circula
tion as some local paper has an
nounced nnd are not found in the re
treat described. Possibly they may be
itwny nt the bindery for they nro qulto
in demand, but who in this highly
moral city of Scranton could have the
heart to request the extinction of the
works of the gentle (lower lover who
wrote from his garden up the Hudson
tho Innocuous stories that have in the
Green Age delighted almost every wo
man in the land? To be sure Mr. Roe
was a preacher more or less unsuccess
ful, and to bo sure his books aro not
great from any point of view but they
nro harmless. They don't (111 tho youth-

try nn amateur lynching operation on a
companion. Tlny don't Rive the youiie
girl an Idea that her mission Is the
Htase or anywhere away from the safe,
sunet embrace of her childhood's home
and they don't contain any deep, dark
MiKKestlvenesK that sets the fertile
liraln at work wondering how much
worse the real facts of sonieuody'3
Indiscretions were than appears In tht
titory. They are simple, yes rather
dimply certainly, but pleasant, highly
moral books and as yet nobody has
asked their withdrawal.
As to that, nobody has requested that
the works of May Agnes Fleming and
Mary J. Holmes be obliterated from tha
finding list and therefore they remain.
As Jerome K. Jerome said of his own
first book of essays "They wouldn't
elevate a cow." They never did any
good yet, except, perhaps, to keep girls
off the street. I never heard of a boy
who read them, but they have given n
vast number of false Ideas of human
existence to an army of feminine read
ers who still eagerly peruse their worn
pages. In fact, every few months off
they trot to the bindery to be re-bound,
so Indefatigable is the pursuit of their
lovely persecuted heroines and impos
sible villains."
The librarians of the Oaterhout li
brary at AVllkca-Ilarro exclude these
works from the shelves, In tho theory
that tho readers will acquire a tasto
for a higher grado of literature If they
aro not "doped" with these silly tales.
In our library the case Is different,
Tho public furnishes the funds and It
Is held that the public has a right to
a voice In the choice of books. Per
sonally, I do declare that a girl might
hotter read everything Mary Jano
Holmes, Bertha M. Clay, May Agnes
Fleming, Mary Cecil Hay and the en
tiro outfit of that class ever wrote than
to read "Quo Vadls," which Sunday
school teachers, ministers and highly
moral authorities In general havo been
recommending. The craze for historic
al noveU has reached, such a pitch that
all a writer needs to do nowadaya Is to
drag In a few Christian martyrs and
arrangeamodern conceptlonof an npos
tie, to havo tho book placed alongside
tho Bible, the Churchman, Christian
Advocate nnd other unmistakable
specimens of religious literature. It
doesn't In the least matter what bes
tiality, what gross and sensual details
are the main features of the book. If

be taken straight. I fall to see any
necessity of learning tho Intricate mi
nutiae of the orgies of Nero, or tn be
harrowed In sensibilities over highly
wrought, pictures of the nrena. If you
must hear about tho horrors of those
times read S. Baring Oould's uew book,
"Domltlii," which has St.-I.uko for a
central llgure.
But, dear me. I meant to tell of
some new Christmas books. I would
suggest that the young girl who Is lu
doubt what to select In current fiction
for her own reading can scarcely make
a mistake by reading the high class
magazines, In which the greatest nov
els of the times are first appearing,
Tho Century, Harper's, Scrlbner's, the
Cosmopolitan, McClure's, and a num
ber of others to he obtained at the li
brary contain the cream ot llteratoro
of tho day.
Walter liesnnt's new book, "The
Changeling," published by Frederick
Stokes, Is otje of the most entertaining
books offered. It Is n relief In one re
spect as making no attempt at his
torlnal effect. It Is simply a study ol
two mothers, with numerous Interest
ing details Interspersed. The llttlo
glimpse of the real tramp Instinct tn
one of the characters Is moro than
fascinating.
Stokes also Issues a wild and weird
sea story, "Grace O'Malley by Mach
eray," with a thread of history In Us
woof founded on the incidents con
nected with the Intended alliance of
Spain and Ireland against Elizabeth.
It Is a well written tale, pure tn tono
and entertaining throughout to those
who care for tales of ocean combat
and struggles on land.
"John Oliver Hobbes" sends out by
the same publisher, "The Ambassador,"
a cleverly written comedy In four acts
which Is just aa charming as a novel
and a deal moro concise and Interest
ing than most. The cover Is especially
attractive as a gift book.
Georgo Glsslng's last book, "The
Town Traveler." also Issued by Stokes,
Is sure to be popular. It deals with
the lower strata of London's middlo
class and has a certain Dlckens-llke
flavor Impossible to resist.
Itlchnrd Harding Davis new book,
"The Cuban and Porto Itlcan Cam
paign," whloh lias been so eagerly
awaited, and which will throw consid
erable light on some vexed questions
and Incidentally on General Shafter,
Is Issued today by Scrlbner's.

ERIE YARD AT JESSUP.
Trying to Have It Finished by First
of Year.
The Delaware and Hudson Coal com
pany Is making every effort to get Its
breakers refitted for steam oars and
aro tearing out tho gravity track a.i
fast as each breaker Is changed over.
The abandoning of tho old gravity
necessitates a large yard near the con
necting point of tho toad they ship
over.
To fill this need tho Krlo will rnako
a large yard at Jessup, where tin ir
engines will make up the trains for
Port Jorvls. Years ago when people
were settling at Jessup the Pennsyl
vania Coal company allowed them to
build on their land for a email yearly
rental, little thinking tht tiino would
come when this land would bo valuablu
to them. Tho time has arrived and
the houses, some of which aro very
fine buildings, are to be moved to niako
way for the twelve new tracks which
will make up the new yard for tho
storing of coal, ready for tho Erio
engines.
From this yard the Erie will take the
coal over the Wlnton branch to tho
Eria and Wyoming Valley at Rock
Junction and thence by tho way of
Hawley to Port Jervls. Tho yard Is
to bo completed by tho first of tho
year.
