years after the cornerstone was laid by
Mayor Beth Low, the formal opening
ceremonies of the New York Public
Library were held at 2 o'clock this
afternoon, and tomorrow mornlnfe the

first time to the building. The cere
monies this afternoon were in the
main lobby, fronting on Fifth avenue,
and admission was by special Invita
tion only, as the seating capacity of the
lobby Is limited to 600 persons.
President Taft, Mayor Gaynor, and
Governor Dlx took part In the
ceremonies today. The opening prayer
was by Bishop Greer and the bene
diction by Archbishop Farley. After
the prayer by Bishop Greer Thomas
Hastings, of Carrere & Hastings, the
architects of the building, delivered!
the keys to the care of the city. It was
Intended to have this ceremony perform
ed by John Carrere, who was the prin
cipal spirit in the designing of the build
ing, but he was run down by a taxicab
and died before he could see the comple
tion of his greatest work.
Stover Makes Response.
Park Commissioner Stover made the
Epeech In reply to Mr. Hastings, and
the mayor followed with another re
sponse for the people of the city. John
Blgelow, who is now ninety-three years
old, president of the New York Public
XJbrarv, Astor, Lenox., and Tilden foun
dations, made a short speech, and
George L. Rives, one of thr trustees,
.made the historical address, telling
of the founding of the thiee branches
which are now combined under one roof
and tne Inception of the present build
ing. Governor Dlx followed Mr Rives
with a speech on behalf of the State,
and the last speaker was the President.
Though only six hundred persons were
admitted to the opening ceremonies,
invitations have been issued to some
fifteen hundred others to inspect the
building alter the formal ceremonies of
opening. The greatest care has been
taken In Issuing these cards, and it is
announced that no cameras, canes or
umbrellas could be carried into the
building.
The Enormous Cost.
The new library, which nas been nine
years under construction has already
cost $10,000,000, and It is estimated that
J2.000.000 will be spent on It before it Is
finished, while the land on which it
stands is valued at fc.000.00O. It Is a
merging of the Astor Library, which
was incorporated in 1S49: the Lenox Li
brary, incorporated in 1S70, and the Til
den Trust, incorporated In IbisT. The to
tal endowment of the three foundations
Is $3,446,600. and the new institution will
start with 373,000 books on its shelves
In the next twenty-five years it 1b ex
pected that 4,000.000 more books will be
added, while provision has leen made to
Increase the present card index of
8,000.000 cards to 10.000.000 card3.
' The new library Is the largest single
building in the world devoted to library
mirnobes It has a floor iVice of 373.000
square feet, as against 346,000 square 1
feet in the Library of Congress, 'n
"Washington. The architecture Is a
'Dlend of the Italian and French renais
sance, and it is said by the critics to ex
ceed anv other building of Its natuie
in the world for combined beauty and
utility. It ha3 facilities never before
attempted, and as a masterpiece of con
venience Is believed to be without equal.
There Is a reading room for the blind,
a room for the children, with diminutive
chairs and tables, and there are eight
private rooms for the use of scholars.

unwilling sufferer of the "faked" suicide
note, found in the Eastern Branch, Sun
day. Mr. Moore, who lives at 1501
Thirty-first street, and who has offices
In the Hutchlns building, has been busy
all day answering his telephone to deny
that his body lies in the Potomac river.

thought he would scare the police,
dropped a bottle, containing a note to
the effect that one Thomas Moore had
taken his life, into the rl'er. The police
took no notice of the note because It
was dated 1S36. but was written on
paper bearing the printed date 1900

building, wants all his friends to know
that he Is alive and well.
ANNAPOLIS. Md.. May 23.-The Na

this morning with the news that Super

event for eights.
Permission had alreadv heen trrantwi
i the second and fourth class crews to
i enter In their classes. Though the mem
i bers of the first crew had Deen hoping
io gei permission to enter the big event
next Saturday, yesterday they gave up
hope of takln- part, though they re
ceived permission to get Philadelphia as
spectators of tne race. The crew stop
ped practicing and was not on the water
for the first time since midwinter, when
the weather permitted.
However, the matter was 'placed be
fore the superintendent and he decided
to approve the request. The mid
shipmen will be matched In the
senior event against the Wahneta Boat
Club, last year's winners; Columbia
and other crews. The midship
men are especially delighted in getting
a crack at Columbia, whose victory in

cal men.

Police Court Must
Pass on Rachet Horns
Judges of the Police Court will ulti
mately be called upon to decide whether
the regulations which provide that auto
mobiles must be equipped with horns,
authorize the use of the noisy rachet
horn.
Major Sylvester yesterday notified all
the precln ts to warn automobilists to
se horns of this type sparingly, and only
when necessary to warn pedestrians.
He instructed the police to warn the
owners of cars first, and if they per
sist in sounding the rachet unduly, to
obtain warrants for them, and then al
low the courts to decide the merits of
the cases.
Who Wants A
Nice Head of Hair?
Easy to Get One in a Few Weeks
by Using Parisian Sage.
Lack of nourishment that's the rea
son hair falls, out, grows thin, fades
and turns gray. ,
Dandruff germs dig Into the hair roots
and rob the hair of its nourishment.
Parisian Sage, the delightfully re
freshing hair grower and beautlfier not
only completely destroys these germs
but penetrates into the roots of the
hair and furnishes the stimulating
nourishment that causes hair to grow
abundanuv and lustrous.
Parisian Sage Is guaranteed to put an
end to dandruff; stop falling hair and
scalp itch In two weeks, or money back.
Large bottles 50 cents, at Henrv Evans
and James O'Donnell. and druggists
everywhere.
"I used Parisian Sage and it did my
hair a great deal of good. I find it a
very good hair tonic, the best I ever
used. It's a very good scalp cleaner,
hair grower, and beautifler." Yours
very truly, Alice Baumgartner, Hague,
N Y.
Any invention that saves time and labor is bound to come into
universal use. Witness the sewing machine, the telephone, the
electric light and scores of others. They were received with doubt
at first; now every intelligent person takes advantage of them.
So Fels-Naptha soap will some day be used by every woman in
this country who washes clothes. More than a million now make
it save them time, bother and hard work, and the number is grow
ing every wash-day. If you are not one of these million modern
women, you will be some day just as
soon as you have courage enough to break
away from old-fashioned methods. Every
week your delay means another half day
of backbreaking labor, coal or gas wasted,
danger of colds from steam, unnecessary
wear and tear on clothes.
With Fels-Naptha you can wash in cold
or lukewarm water without hard rubbing,
and in half the time it takes by the wash
boiler method. Follow closely the direc
tions on the red and' green wrapper.
No Imitation for Anty Drudge.
Grocer's boy "The boss told me to tell you he was just
out of Fels-Naptha, but that this soap is just as good,
and he's sure you'll like it."
'Anty Drudge "Just out is he! Well, he's going to
be out some more. If he thinks I'm going to use an
imitation of Fels-Naptha, just so's he can get a big-
.ger rake-off, he's got another think coming. Some
other grocer will get my trade in the future."

The highest point of woman's
happiness is reached only through
motherhood, in the clasping of her
child within her arms. Yet the
mother-to-be is often fearful of
nature's ordeal and shrinks from
the suffering incident to its con
summation. But for nature's ills
and discomforts nature provides
remedies, and in Mother's Friend
is to be found a medicine of great
value to every expectant mother.
It is an oily emulsion for external
application, composed of ingredi
ents which act with beneficial and
soothing effect on those portions
of the system involved. It is in
tended to prepare the system for
the crisis, and thus relieve, in great
part, the suffering through which
the mother usually passes. The
regular use of Mother's Friend will
repay any mother in the comfort it
affords before, and the helpful
restoration to health and strength
it brings
about after S; -.4?. A
baby comes.

Friend is for
