To the Editor of The Appeal: Will you pardon me for roturntngto tho important subject of building the Cossitt Library on tho bluff? Undoubt edly tbo noises aro loss at night than in tho day time, but then Mr. Holmes mm uiins's railroad bonch and bar have al ways held him responsible tor this in flictionmakes as much noiso in the dark as in the light, and as tho business of tho country increases night work on the ruilroud becomes a necessity, though it is not so much in the way just now. More over, the library is not to be built tor a tow hours in the evening only. My export ence with public libraries istuat they close iiromnt v at V or 10 o ciock. anu me custo dian is trenerally inexorable. Quite recently I havo hud one rclutto to allow me a lew moments to finish an cditorinl in Tiik Ap- i'kal and to shut oil the gas pitilessly when the long hand of tho clock marked the moment of 10 o'clock p.m. My ob servation is that public libraries are mostly crowded in the late hours of the afternoon, itud not at night so much. There is nl- wavs noiso enouuh on this bluff to inter fere with reading and thinking until very late at night, and to put a public library buildinir on it would bea very groat public calamity, and obviously tho trouble in creases us tho city grows. 1,. O. 11AMMONU. Memphis, May 30, 1HS1. A Niiartiou l t. knowtlen. To th K.ti tor of Tbe Appeal: Sir I have read both Col. Bnowdon a and Judgo Hammond's objections to the locating of tho "Cossitt Library" building on the bluff next south of tho custom houso, and I rccognizo tbo force of their reasoning upon the subject. Nearly all of the vuluublo "corners" and vacnnt prop erty east of Second and south of Madison streets, centrally located, belonged to tho original Overton estate, of which Col. Suowdeu is probably ono of tbo chicfest beneficiaries. Now, rccogniiiing his high public spirit, his homo pride, his imiuenso financial in tercsts in the growth of Memphis, and especially tho rapid appreciation of his lari;o rem estate in the ncltfliborhoods suit gested bv the erection of this hiriro aud eleirant library in its midst, msv 1 be par uoned lor suL'L'csling that no person could so sppropriuioly, so profitably una Willi more credit to his public spirit than Uol. Suowden donate a suitublo corner for the erection of this library buiidimt.

City ASCENSION DAY AND K. T. CELEBRATION AT TBI CUM BEEL AND CHURCH LAST NIGHT. Impressive Ceremonies, Inspiring Musla and a Beautiful Address by Blr Knight the Rev. B. A. Jones An Occasion Full of Interest. he Knights Tomplar of Memphis and St. Elmo Commanderlea will long rcmem ber yesterday's anniversary of Christ's ascension. Groat prepartions had been made for tbo observation of the day, and tho ami- iputionsof the Sir Knights wero fully realized. Tbe Court Streot Presbyterian Church was completely filled with the members of tho two Commandories and their frionds. Tho service throughout was exceedingly impressive, especially the address of Sir Knight and the Rev. Dr. II. A. Jones. Dr. Jonos is always eloquont, but lost night'a effort was one of the greatest of his life. His talk was filled with metaphorical and allegorical illustra tions. The speaker was a Sir Knitrht and he was talking to brothors. His talk waa not only an anneal for Christ, hut on address of love. He worshiped his Christ nnd be loved his commandory. He un- uerstuou uuin, ana was ablo to talk with much leeiing, ana all present were very much affected. Tho musical procram. under tho dime. tion of Sir Kniitht C. P. Winkler, waa grand. The choir was largo and was com posed of the leading vocalists of the city. At 8:30 o'clock the grand organ of the church pealed forth the "Vienna March," toe doors wero thrown open and tbo two commandories marched in with the Key. Dr. Junes and Prelate W. 8. Jones at their head. As soon as they were seated in the center aisle the choir sang Mozart's ernnd chorus, "Praise the Lord." J lie beautiful Kniuhta Templar service was then read by the prelate, with responses by mo Mr Knights. Alter' Deus Aliseratur was sung by the cbolr, the "beatitudes" was rea I and was followed by StrauclhiV'Te Deura Laudumus." The Angela grayer was sung alter the prayer, and tbe address followed. I be ajs'aker said: "1 crunne no History ol philosophy has taught the elevation of man as Masonry. It leada him from the lowest state. It finds mau a barbarian. It brings him step by step to trim manhood. Masonry takes man back ami unus bun in lus bar barity. Masonry teaches all that wo can know of God, and all that we ought to know of man." "God revealed Himself to man In the genesis of our race, as he waa ablo to beur it. I liulicve man left his Creator perfect in physique, but with the command from Ins .Maker to make himself as ho saw lit. God led man step by step until ho became Christ tlieoionous. "1 he revelation uf Christ reveals to us the Deity personified. What can man know of God? Itcssou reaches out alter God, but man in his weakness finds himself in darknesa. What Christ was when He siillered is w hat He would have ns bo. "Christ leuds us until we see Him united tn the cross. This teaches another lesson: He bore my sins. As I stand before that picture I know that tho kingdom of heaven la open fir inc." He spoke of the resurrection, and said that this bud robbed duuth of all its ter rors. "Another lesson I taught n. Because Ho lives, I live. Has God (riven mo the reason snd unfolded to tue the wisdom of the world? lias He given to me all the powers of tho mind? Has He given them to me to blot them out in the grave? Not a thousand liim-a no! Christ livea in me. Tho aun shall hide ila fjice and the moon become a clot of blood, but 1 shall live al ways." 'i he speaker made a realistic allcirorical picture of the return of Christ to his apostles and bia ascension from their midst, "Christ ails on bis throne, clad lu the rolx-s of heaven," continued tho orator. "What does it teach us? That where Ho is you may bo also, and on these teachings depends the life etornul. Ho, brethren, a wesinnd In the itlory of tho Nineteenth century ami gaxeun the Masonic temples and s lirKilhoiiaes throughout tho world and think of tho advantages of '.he modern civilizution lo educate the woild we must rejoice that Chiist Iin come." ilo spoke ol Hie early history of the church, and the Pilgrim who were ready to luy down their lives in Palestine for the religion of Christ. He closed with an ap peal to bis brethren to become as the Kmirhls of old. "Brethren," said he, "is Knight Teuiphiry a mere form? 11 us go back to the early ccuturies snd Itaru of Iho Knighis of obi: Oh wale araln, Teutonic l.tlirrV Ac a, siaiik ataiti.
