New York public Library, the Arthur E. Bostwick, of the New York Public Library, writes: The present New York Public Library— Astor, Lenox, and Tilden foundations—is the result, as its name indicates, of the consolidation of several pre-existing institutions. The three whose names appear in the title were united on May 23, 1895, and on Feb. 25, 1901, the New York Free Circulating Library was added to the combination, the new body retaining its old name. Of these various consolidated institutions the Astor Library was originally incorporated Jan. 18, 1849. It was endowed and supported by various gifts of the Astor family, and at the time of consolidation owned its site and buildings on Lafayette Place, with 267,147 volumes, and enjoyed an annual income of about $47,000. The Lenox Library, incorporated Jan. 20, 1870, as the gift to the public of James Lenox, owned its site and building on Fifth Avenue, between 70th and 71st streets, with 86,000 volumes and an annual in

hey could not hope to win. Such of their leaders and agents as came to this country hastened to make his acquaintance and to invoke his counsel and advice, which never failed them. One of the first and most admirable of their number to lay down his life for the independence of Cuba was Jose Marti, and the news of his death aroused in no one greater regret than it did in Dana. It called from his pen a noble and touching tribute of admiration and respect, which will be found in the Sun of May 23, 1895. It runs as follows: We learn with poignant sorrow of the death in battle of Jose Marti, the well-known leader of the Cuban revolutionists. We knew him long and well and esteemed him profoundly. For a protracted period, beginning twenty-odd years ago, he was employed as a contributor to the Sun, writing on subjects and questions of the fine arts. In these things his learning was solid and extensive, and his ideas and conclusions were original and brilliant. He was a man of geni

Looscan, wife of Major Looscan, of the Confederate army, derived directly and personally from the participants in that battle. Its general tenor and minute detail are evidence of correctness, in addition to the high social standing of the lady. It was first published in the Houston Post of May 23, 1895, and is here quoted as supplementary to the report of the commanding general: Capt. Charles Fowler, whose recent death is deplored by all who love and appreciate the highest type of true heroic manhood, was a prominent actor in one of the most daring naval expeditions of the late civil war. The story of this achievement, of which he was chief director, and in which his inspiration called forth all the dare-devil bravery of his followers, was obtained from the lips of men who were with
