Similarly it is not true econ omy to do without Ivory Soap; your health requires the daily removal of the bodily excretions which are discharged through the pores of the skin. These tiny mouths must be kept open, and they should be opened only with a pure soap. IVOUY SOAP-PO PER CENT. PURE. The Morning Astorian TKI.KPIIONK ei.

Generous; Response to Appeal for Funds Interesting Account of Library' Jllntory. The ninth anniversary of the founding of the Aria Iubllc Library was cle brat"! last night at th room of the library, where the ladles of the board of director received the guests. During the evening Dr. A, A. Finch entertained the audience wKh the pla nlatlst. kindly loaned by Mr. B;exarth, and Mr. and Mis Frdertckson render ed a delightful violin duet, acompanlej by Miss Blnvre. Ihiring the ev-nlng seven new yearly subscriptions wer received and when th boxe scattered abvmt for contribu tion were opened in was found that more than $30 had been netted from th. source. Th.-re was a constant ir-in or jM-opie aunng me evening and the ladles of the board were con a-r&tulated on the splendid progress micle by the Institution under the ad verse circumstances It has been oblig ed to overcom?. The history 'if the trials and tribu lations of the ladles who stood sponsor for the llbrary'a continued existence is succlntly rela'ed In the following pap-r which win rea4 by Mra. Samuel El more: On this, the ninth birthday of this child of many car:-a and trUla. the As toria Public Library, we, Its fifteen sponsors, thought that a brief history of the jvar .hat have meant so much to us, anl we h.fpe also to the patron nnd friends of the association, would be of Interest to you all, for we are as rurel by your presence that you are also fri.'nds to this enterprise that has ciainvvj more of the time, earnest; inougnt. worn ami anxie:y t.l rhe man agem and financial sutisrtrs than jer h.'i.s you think possible. Th'- project of a public library was roa. h..-d first by the Young Women's t hrlstian Association in October. 1-90. At a called meeln:r. February 6. 1S92. the public library was duly organized and Incorporated under the title cf th" Astoria Public Library. The following ctilcers were elected: Mrs. A. L. Ful ton, president; Mrs. J. F. Rogers, vice president: Miss I5rll. recretary: Miss liadollet. treasurer. The first board of directors were the M!ss Powell. .Sayre. v-4mplell, .Mckerson. Brolie, McKean an- nadollet, and Mestemes Fulton. W'ngate, Warr.m, Pvonn. Rogers and El more. The V. W. C. A. transferred to the A. P. L. aasoeiitlon the sum of M13.OT. monies raised by them for 11- Dre.ry purjvjseji. During Februa-y. Marc and April meetings were new in Ihe x. W. C. A. room and In the Chamber of Commerce room. On May 28, 1S92. Just nine years ago, for the first time we had a li brary in evidence not on paper in the room baok of the bank In the Kinnev building on Commercial street: 63' book w?re In order on the shelves and thlrty-sev'n yearly subscribers on our record book. In June the executive board xas illed to the requisite num ber of fifteen by the addition of Mrs. P. A. Stokes and ever since the num ber has remainfd the same. Several verv emcient members from -time to time nave, for various causes, found it expedient to resign, their places being filled by others equally efficient. From the very beginning we hAve had many donations of books and money, the first year from the football club. $S0: Hay Railwav Company, $22; Mr. chut ler, $10.50; $50 worth of printing1 for life membership from the Astorian Pub l.sning Company, store, chairs, tables, curtain? and other small furnishings to aid In beautifying and making com fortable our library room. February 1. 1S93, wa r?moved to our present room where we entirtain you tonight, in these nine years we have had only two librarians. Mrs. Sturfris. who was oblig ed to resign on account of ill health. July 15, 1S93, anj Miss Geary, our pres ent very efficient librarian. Our reading room was made free In April. 1S93. In June, 1S93, the reading room was opened on Sundays, a most excellent move on our part and one that has given great satisfaction. In the same year the result of a book re ception given in our room wrj the ad dition of 139 books and quite a sum of money. The treasurer's report on March 3, 1S94. showed the finances of the association to be in a most distreSsinsr condition, reserve fund exhausted, ex penses greater than receipts, and finan cial affairs very appalling, but our friends came to our aid by many unso licited and solicited donations, notice ably $73 from Grace church guild, our diminished 'unds gained a moet de lightful welirht and we weathered that storm. Three years of these continued efforts br.-iiisht to us their reward In a librarv of 13GS volumes, valued at $1500 and a list of thirty yearly subscribers May 4. 1S95. the council passed an ordinance allowing us $40 a month for current expenses, but as the warrant was dis counted for cash we only received $36. In 1S9S the amount .received from he city warrants was cut to $27 30. As we Ind relied on this to cover the expenses of the free reading room, we had to draw on the reserve fur.d every month to provide for a monthly deficit of $32 65. We have reduced our current expenses to the lowest possible amount, an aver age of $i0 oer month. As we at pres ent receive only $25 from the city our monthly deficit Ls $35. To meet, this we have, I am sorry to say, only thir teen yearly subscribers, making about $3 a month from that source and we must make up the balance of $32 a month In some way. Do you wonder that we have all sorts and kinds of en tertainments to coax the necessary funds from Astorians without resort to direct begging. To date we have yearly subscribers only thirteen, eight three-month sub scribers and an average, very small, of single book subscribers. The number of yearly readers In the free reading room has Increased from 65SS Hhe first year. 1S93, to 15.109, in 1900. The total number of readers for the nine years amounts to 106,669. The money received for that time was $8.610.6S; expended for books; furniture and necessary run ning expenses. $8590.29. We have 2057 bound volumes: of these 2R9 are free ref erence books, between 200 and 300 pa per covered b.vks. twenty-one monthly and weekly mair.izines and twenty-five daily and weekly papers and periodi cal. We have been many times cast down and badly discouraged but you know th3 old saving. "When a woman will, she will, you may depend on't," so we will, and have weathered every storm so far, snll,d serenely through what has looked like a financial typhoon more than once, and tonight are smil ingly awaiting vour congratulations and, as asuil, your generous assist ance. The pre?nt executive board are: Mr. Prael, pr'dirt; Un. (ttokei, vlca preslitit; Mrs. Tmyar, aecretary, Mr, .'!eorr', trMurer: Mesdamrji Hmith. Tee, Wlngate, Taylor, Kendall, lphur. JSjlto1.

But for the OmHy and energetic In terference of Sheriff Llnvlle yesterday a party of fishermen would have de stroyed the trap owned by Otto Carlson near Ulind Slough. The trap has been In operation for three years and at the beginning of the present season wait moved so that It extenled farther cut into the stream. The glllnettem assert that Ihe new location of the trip Interferes with the drifting of fishing boats and complaint wis made to the Fishermen's union. Secretary Lornsten arranged with the steamer O.

Sheriff Llnvlle warn the captain of the boat that he would be held personally re3(onsible if h de stroyed the trap and the mVe-s of the union that prosecutes would follow If their plins were carried out. The result was that the trao was not disturbed. NOTICE TO MARINERS. Noonday Rock. California. Notice is hereby given that the Noonday Rock Bell Buoy is not striking, the bell be ln broken.

The secret service has unearthed an other band of counterfeiters and secur ed a large quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly executed that the average person would never suspect them or being spurious. Things of great value are always selected Vy counterfeiters for Imitation, notably he celebrated Hastetter's Stomach Bitters, which has many Imitators but no equals for indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness and general debility. The Bitters set things right in ihe stom ach, and when the stomach is in good order it makes good blood and plenty of It. In this manner the Butters get at the seat of strength and vitality, and restore vigor to the weak and de bilitated. Beware of counterfeits when buying. CANNERY FOR STRIPED BASS. Probability That Salmon Canners Will Handle the Baas Soon. There Is talk of establishing a can nery for striped bass. It is not only one of the most delicate meated of fish, but the meat is readily removed from the bone., m large Hakes, rivaling salmon in this respect. say3 the San Francisco Journal of Commerce. These two at tributes, combined with the prodigious size to which It grows, 50-pound fish being common in San Francisco bay, constitute th three advantages which commend it to the canners.
