The Library Controversy.
We hoiHid last week that we
should be spared the disagreeable
task of saying anything adversely
to the management of the public
library. We visited the I'ortlaud
library last week and endeavored
to secure some information from
the librarian and stated to her that
we did not wish to say anything in
the matter until we had heard both
sides of the case that we might be
able to give the public an unbiased
account of the matter. The libra
rian told us that we would be able
to meet some of the directors who
were coming to St. Johns to adjust
the matter. We have kept close

writing we have neither met one of 1
the directors or has there been n
meeting held here looking to a set-,

to us as if we were being buncoed
by the lady in the big stone build-'
ug.
The facts so far as we have been
able to learu them tire about like
this, Up to the last visit of the 1
Portland ladies everything wast
loveiy. uiiuoiiue.se rortiaun w
dies stated to Mrs, Parker on her,
last visit but one, that Dr. Hliot, 1
one of the directors, who had just
before visited the library here had
reported to the main librarian that
the branch library at St. Johns was
nicely situated and the books and
library equipment were in fine con
dition nud that he was pleased with
it, We know Dr. Hliot. We
know him to be one of the most
gentlemanly gentlemen of our ac
quaintance. A man of honor
whose every word in matters ol
this kind can be relied upon, and
he would not make any such state
ment if it were not true.
The next time one of these ladies
came out it happened that the la
dies of some church were holding
a sale in a room next door to the
one occupied by the library, and
we have been told that two or
three of these ladies stopped in for
a few minutes to see Mrs. Parker,
our librarian, while the Portland
ady was there and during this
time Mrs. Parker attended the I
home ladies and permitted the
Portland lady to go through her
uspectiou alone. After the books
were inspected tins gentle lady
from the big stone house called our
title librarian down.
The women objected to the
church ladies coming in there to
see our librarian. According to
Mrs. Parker one of them stated
that the churches should be sup
pressed, that another said she
would rather have the library
placed in a saloon mid the books
disH;iiscd through the hands of
the bar keeper than have these W.
C, T. U. women have anything to
do with it.
Then our
little librarian was

choose to follow. Ve would not

things we would like to know, and
as the lady in the big stone house
would not tell us, and the directors
of the I'ortlaud library seem to
have nil awful time getting to St.
Johns to meet with our citizens, we

Two games of ball were pulled
off at the Jersey street grounds
Sunday, in which the locals came
out nt the little cud of the horn in
each instance. The Frakcs have
the strongest aggregation of ball
players outside of the Coast League,
nnd it was no disgrace to be beaten
by them. lint the playing of the
locals was not up to the standard.
In the morning game Wakefield
was wild as a March hare, to begin
with, hitting one man nnd giving
three passes to first in the initial
inning. This, together with a
couple of lucky hits nave the
brakes live runs cnouirh to dis
hearten most any team. However,
St. Johns played a good uphill
game, the score standing hen the
last man was out at 7 to 0 in Port
land's favor. Had Wakefield
warmed up before the contest ns he
should have done, the result would
no doubt have been different.
Clark Moore easily led the batting,
getting three hits a three-bagger,
double and single out of four
times up, besides making a splen
did one-hand catch of a liner.
Urown had an off day for the first
time this season. Hlcveu errors
were charged against the home
team by the official scorer.
Iu the afternoon Howard, the
Frnke's crack twirler, made mon
keys out of the locals. Not one of
our players was able to laud on the
ball safely. They had no trouble
in finding the ball, but there was
always a Prake under it. It was
only through the kindness of An-
tolue who obligingly made n bum
throw to first that the locals scored
at all, Philhrick got to first 011 an
error of his grounder to short and
came home 011 the wild throw. St.
Johns' pitching staff apparently
became exhausted in this game:
Wakefield started to do the twirl-
nc but soon pave wnv to iMnrk
Moore: McCarty, a new pitcher,
tried it uext, but he was soon put
out ot commission; rmiuricK tneu
got into the box and succeeded
n preventing any more scoring for
the last three innings, Parker,
who took his place at third sur
prised the audience by his light
ning work. The score was 10 to 1.
Herbert Pennington.
Herbert Pennington, son of Mrs.
Ada Pennington, died of rheuma
tism of the heart at Good Samar
itan hospital last week. He was
24 years of age and had served
three years iu the Uuited States
navy, having enlisted as yeoman at
Bremerton in 1904 and assigned to
the training ship, Philadelphia. A
year later he was promoted to reg
ular service and assigned to the
United States Steamship Benning
ton, doing service iu China seas
and the Philippine Islands.
He was sent home at the expira
tion of his enlistment, for medical
treatment at Mare Island United
States Marine hospital, California.
Was discharged tn good health and
re-enlisted as first class yeoman,
with orders to report for service on
one of the battleships uow on a
cruise around the world. A to
days furlough being granted him,
he was ou his way home to visit
his mother when he was taken ill
on the traiu aud conveyed to the
hospital when he arrived in Port-
and, where he remained until he
died.
His iuterment was made in Riv-
erview cemetery uuder the auspices
of the Spanish war veterans and a
firing squad ot the O. N. u., an
honor his comrades, family aud
friends acknowledge with profound-
est gratitude.
The sympathy of the tuauy
friends of Mrs. Pennington aud
family will go out to them iu this
time of their bereavement.

source. we will tell it as we

after the meeting and were near
Oak Park when one of them saw a
pretty little black aud white kitten
on the car track and made a dive
for the pretty little thing when
something awful happened. Kitty
uever mewed, but the pretty little
sister did, and she landed in the
mud beside the track and the other
brothers and sisters followed suit
because they could not bear to

"Mother" was seen burying some
