MRS. JAMES JCERNOCHAN President. LIBRARY WORK TX SCHOOLS THOSE INTERESTED IN THE SYSTEM DESIRE TO EXTEND ITS INFLUENCE The circulation of book? the public schools of this city is fast becoming a feature of the system. an 3it Is hoped by Dr. Henry M.

Leipzig-- and many others, to whose efforts is due the present success of the undertaking, that in a time not far distant every schoolhouse shall have space set aside for the purpose. In many classrooms there are now permanent collections of books for circulation among the pupils subjects co-ordinating with the courses of. study. They have been provided by the special fund of $60,000 supplied annually by the city and State for the purpose, each contributing J2C.000 of the amount About IS. OOO of this sum was employed during the last year in putting libraries and readir.fr rooms in four of the public No.

30. East near Second-aye. No. 3, West Twenty-elghth-Ei-: No. 160.

and No. 90. in The Bronx. These are intended mainly for adults, and the reading rooms are open from to 10 o'clock every evening. The books in all cases were selected especial reference to co-operation with the subjects treated in the people's lecture course.

The Agullar Library, with its four branches; the New-York Free Circulating Library and the Cathedral Library are all co-operating with the public schools in the circulation of books. The Aguilar Library has about seven hundred books in ten of the public schools this year, and Miss Gertrude Cohen, who is In charge of the travelling libraries of that system, further aided the teachers by preparing graded lists of books suited to the various departments. These lists contained fiction, history, biography, travel, science and nature books. The outcome of the study of the Indian by many of the classes has resulted in an enlarged demand for books on ethnology. Miss Cohen has found the favorites among the school children to be mythology.

Norse. Greek and Roman stories, and Cooper's and Scott's novels Too many copies of "LUtle Women" and of fairy tales cannot be furnished. In the schools biographies are in especial demand. Ar. interesting fact in connection with the work is the preference shown on the lower East Side for standard works and the distaste for light reading.

The people in that quarter of the city are cither studying American life and institution or the philosophy of life. If they read fiction they want standard works from such writers as Dickens. Thackeray, Scott. Cooper and George Eliot. The Aguilar Library circulated last year 16.

books through the medium of thirty-three schools and libraries. The travelling library department of the New- York Public Library is supplying twenty-five public schools and twenty Industrial schools of the Female Guardian Society. Cathedral Library Is furnishing books to about thirty public schools. The books are sent to the schools at the first cf the school year. and remain there until its close.

As a rule, the principal's assistant looks after the books In each building. are distributed once a week, and while the children are the only ones to whom the books an lent, the parents in many instances arc also the readers. Not infrequently a child says at end of the week. "I have read the book, but my mamma has not finished it yet." SUGGESTIONS FOR SHOPPERS.

To the dress of the biz- doll was pinned the following- note: ttle Lilly has come to the hi? find a home t. you. She is from tne he kind to her and love her.

To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir: A friend asked me the other day where I found the poor to help. I answered. "At the Pro- on Stanton and Essex where the Rev. Robert L.

Paddock is giving his life and best energy to help those who are suffering- actual privations. There five cents which one may save from an extra car ride will purchase six rolls for breakfast, when- otherwise there would be no food." It is indeed a privilege to be able to do something- at this Christmas time to help the needy. If any one is not well, but yet is strong enough to go out and try to cheer some saddened home on the East Side of our city, let him try it and see if In helping others there is not a for "his own suffering. Go to any of the charitable societies and ask for the a.d-dresses of the needy poor. Help them, and see what brightness will be brought to your own home by so doitiff.

Board of Aldermen at its meeting yesterday adopted a resolution providing for a park in the Fourth "Ward. Brooklyn, to cost about $363,000.

Alderman Fleck brought up the old resolution calling for $180,000 for the Department of Street Cleaning. Alderman Mclnness said the only reason for again bringing up the resolution was to get the articles (dumps, horses, blankets, etc.) without public letting. Alderman McCall denied this, and said it was absolutely Impossible for the present administration to award the contracts. "If this Commissioner." said Alderman McCall. "is the terrible criminal that the minority says Is.

he should be in State's prison. The District Attorney should Investigate and have him imprisoned." The resolution was lost by a vote of 3." to 12. In the Council a resolution providing that the name of Brooklyn, be changed to Elghteenth-ave. was adopted. An ordinance providing for a public park in the First Ward.

Borough of Queens, was adopted. An ordinance providing for the laying out of a park on the land bounded by Edgecombe Road, West Jump! Terrace and West was passed. On this land is the old Jumel mansion. Councilman Leich introduced the following: Whereas, The members of the first and only council of the city of New-York having discharged their duties of the office to whir-h we were elected with zeal and fidelity to ourselves, if not to our constituents, therefore be tt Resolved, That we tender to each other a vote ol thanks, knowing full well that said thanks and self-adulation are undeserved. This caused considerable laughter, and was declared out of order by President Guggenhebner.

SEEKING PROPER STREET SIGNS. CITT MAT MAKE THEM OR ILLUMINATING COMPANIES MAY HE ASKED TO FURNISH THEM. Jacob A. Cantor, Borough President-elect, yesterday afternoon, at his office, bad a conference with Nelson S. Spencer.

Milo R. Maltbie and Charles R. Lamb, representing the Fine Arts Federation and Hi- Municipal Art Society. The subject under discussion was equipping the city with proper street Signs. As a result of the conference Mr.

Cantor said he waa now considering two main propositions: First, tty to have appropriate signs made and pay for them from a necessary appropriation; second, to have the illuminating companies that lisht tiie streets erect the necessary' signs at thetr aa a partial consideration for the lighting contra If the latter course should be adopted it would mean a competition between the gas and electric lighting people, and the matter would be open to competitive bidding. The Edison company already has submitted sample signs. Mr. Cantor said that the men who called on him yesterday would consult with him again soon after Christmas. He added that it was practically decided that signs attached to house corners would DOt answer the purpose.

He thought that illuminated signs attached to gas or electric light poles would be necessary to meet the public demand. In his recent communication to the Fine Arts Federation, asking its co-operation in the matter of securing proper street signs for the city. Mr. Cantor was unaware that the matter had been taken up by the Municipal Art Society early last spring. At that time the Municipal Art Society addressed a memorial to the Municipal Assembly, pointing out the necessity for a propel designation of the streets and making' certain suggestions to the manner of designation.

Including a suggestion that any design or designs should t-e subject to the approval of the Municipal Art Commission. In a subsequent memorial it submitted a proposed ordinance embodying its of which the purpose was to compel the adoption of some for every street, on the buildings if possible, and if nut. on a post at the street corners. No ordinance has ever been passed by the Municipal Assembly. In response to the communication of Mr.

cantor to the Fine Arts Federation, the Federation referred it to the accredited delegates to the. Federation from the Municipal Art Society, consisting of John De Witt Warner. Charles R. Lamb and Thomas Tryon. These, with the officers of the Fine Arts Federation who are ex-officio members of all met last Friday and organized a committee by the election Mr.

Warner as chairman and Lamb as secretary, and added to its number Nelson Spencer and Milr. R. Mall le, who. with Mr Lamb formed the Municipal Art committee on the subject, ar.i designated Mr. Spencer Mr Lamb and Mr Maltble as an executive subcommittee.

This sub-committee, therefore, represents both the Municipal Art Society and the Fine Arts" Federation. Their efforts will result in rescuing the street from the present disgraceful condition with regard to signs. DECISION AGAIXST A TENANT. VAN" BRUNT.

Commissioner Lantry then dismissed him from office. Hasan was in a when he went to the office of Cimmlssioner Lantry about 10 a. m. Hp had been by the appearance of Warden Fallon of the penitentiary with several keepers at the Tombs, and had lrarned that Mr.

Fallon had been sent there to take marge pending an Investigation of the prison management by Mr. Fanning. In the office of Commissioner Lantry there was a stormy scene after Hagan arrived there. Hasan demanded the right to be at the investigation in the Tombs. Commis- signer Lantry.

in Mr. presence, he had anthortzed the investigation by Mr. Fanning, and wanted Hagan to absent himself for a I'-a Jays whiie the investigation was in progress. fiatfsn raved and protested. Snaking his finger at Mr.

Fanning he roared: "I don't recognize his authority. 1 protest against having my reputation assailed by a coward and a a cowaraly sneak- who is looking out for himself. I am innocent and I defy him. I repeat what I said: he is unfair, he is a toward. I am not supplanted as Warden of the Tombs.

I am in authority there. I have rights, and I am going to stand up fur them. I will be heard. I am not supplanted, no matter what he Mr. Fanning- said that Hagan had made himself liable to dismissal by his language, and Mr.

Lantry said: "Warden Hagan. if there were not charges against you which I want to give you an opportunity to defend, I would dismiss you." "I court dismissal," Hagan responded. "lie would have the public believe I am guilty of wrongdoing, and I won't stand for It." "If you make another assertion like that, you will be dismissed." "I am ready to accept dismissal." "You are dismissed, said Mr. Lantry. "You are removed as Warden of the Tombs." "All right, Hagan said.

Then, making a threatening movement toward Mr. Fanning, he said: "I intendt to give vent to my feeiings. I ntver ivas a coward, but you are."

COMMISSIONER KEATING WOULD LIKE TO GIVE OUT PAVING CONTRACTS BEFORE HE RETIRES. Assistant Corporation Counsel Stapleton will on December 21 make a motion before Justice Marean in the Brooklyn Supreme Court, for an order vacating the injunction restraining Commissioner Keating from advertising for bids or letting contracts for asphalt pavement in this city. Justice Marean asked if it would not be better to move the case for trial before the Special Term, saying that he could not consider the case on its merits the end of the term. Mr. Stapleton naid ha was wlilinjr to stand or fall on a motion for'diamlasal if the court would decide the case on its merits.
