Publie Library.

: eee

Mayprine INE Tmur CITY COUNCIL CHAMBER. | v3

AccoRRING te notice, a meeting of citi- vons was held last evening in the - City Council Chamber, to take up the question of a Public Library forthe citizens of Charlottetown.

His Worship the Mayor presided.

Mr. Warburton, introducing the subject, explained that ata previous meeting of some gentlemen interested im this. matter, a committee, consisting of Messrs. Warbur- ton, L. L. Beer, Perey Pope, W. L. Cot- ton and F, 1. Newbéry, had been appoint- etl to consider the practicability of estab- lishing a Public Library, and to report to a meeting of the citizens. This was the origin of the meeting now present. On behalf of this committee he was glad to be able to report that a large number-of our citizens are fully alive to the advantages, to be derived from a good Public Library > that with scarcely an exception all those spoken to had expressed themselves favor- able to the movement, and many had. pro- donations of beoks and money. card fo feasibility, the committee also feel warranted in reporting favorably. Vhough they do net hope for sufficient sup- port te’ evable the Library Association to procure a room + for the sole use of the Uibrary, to fie it up, and provide for main-

nance and attendance, still they are issured that a beginning on a.smaller seale, but yet on a satisfactory basis, can be made; and when, from experience, our citizens more fully appreciate the advan- taves pertaining to a well-stocked Library, the sphere of action can easily be enlarged. In reference to the immediate establish- ment of a Library tho committea would beg leave to present for the consideration of the management of the Library Association so sgon as it is organized the following offertaf the Executive of the Y. M.°C: A. Phey herein oller to provide accommodation for, and take custody of, a‘ Public Library, uutil such time as asuitable building can be ubtaimed, fiee vi all charge, save only that as admission to the Library. would neces- sarily also give the full use of the Y. M. C, \. reading rooms, access can only be vranted to holders of Y. M. C. A. Reading Room tickets.

As, however, a large number of citizens of all denominations already hold these, and as full value in papers and magazines is given for the ‘price ($2 men, “$1 ladies), the committee, whilst recognizing the desirability of having the Library perfectly free, do not consider that the provision will in any appreciably degree restrain access thereto, ant! in view of the many advantages connected with this offer, would strongly recommend it to the consideration of the Library Association.

A discussion followed, taken part “in by Messrs. A. McKinnon, F. H. Arnaud) Percy Pope, F. T. Newbery, J. H. Guod, A. B. Warburton, Charles Palmer, A. A. Bartlett, D. J. McLeod, J.T. Mellish, W. L.. Cotton and others, after which the following resolution was carried unani- mously ;-

That a committee of ten be appointed to canvass the eity for the parpose of obtaining subscriptions for the establishment of a Public ‘Library in Charlottetown, and the following: gentlemen were then chosen; Charles Palmer,

mised

With re

A. A. Bartlett, F. T. Newbery, A, B. War- burton, L. L. Beer, R: R. Fitzgerald and Perey Pope.

It was then moved and also carried un- animously, —

That the canvassing committe do make ap- plication to the Legislature of P. E. L., for an act of incorporation for the Charlottetown Library Association, so soon as, in the opinion of that Committee, the first subscription list is far enqugh advanced to warrant such action.

After a vote of thanks to the Chairman the meeting broke up.

The Catholic Chureh in Australia. Late Australia papers contain a detailed account of the celebration of “Australia’s centenary, and of,the special part taken by the Catholic and Irish colony therein. ‘‘Amidst the glorying of Australian Catho- licity in its strength we are glad té see,” pays.,a writer, comreenting on*the celebra- tion, “that it did not forget reference to ics origm, and acklowledgment of the debi

ows to Irish spirit and sacrifice.” It was two exiled Irish priests who first preached the Catholie faith in Australia. "The poor rebel priests, who labored first, have their places taken now by one Cardinal-Prince of the Church; by ‘four Archbishops © and twenty-one bisheps. The public worship of the church is celebrated in eleven hun- dred and forty churches, by athousand priests, and thare .are two hundred-and twenty-five brothers of religid orders, and two thousand one hundred and ninety; one huns,

the abandoned, tliree other charitable in- stitutions, homes for aged and consump- tive persons, &e. and two servants’ homes. There are seventy thousand children re- ceiving Catholic education in Catholic Schools, and there is a Catholie population of nearly seven hundred thousand. In the metropolitan province alone, comprising the’ whole of the colony, there are thirty- two thousand nine hundred gnd ninety-one children receiving Catholic education, and there are close upon a quarter of a million of persous * belonging to the Catholic Church.

-Maine has.all the advantages of ‘ un- restricted reciprocity’ with the United States, but aecording to the Lewiston Journ, one real estate agent in that city has on his list three hundred farms for sale. As a fair sample of the list. the Journal refers to a farm of four hundred acres, with good buildings, in Oxford County, Which is offered at $700. Wiman’s market of sixty millions does not seom to have enhanced the value of farm property in Maine.
