THE ENTERPRISE of the Public Library, of Marion,
Ind., in its first art exhibition recently heid, resuited
most encouragingly. The Library includes a well-
lighled picture gallery, provided for in the original
plans on the insistence of Mr. George Webster, of
the board. The Gallery had remained empty for
several years, but is now demonstrating its appro-
priateness. The first accessions came from citizens
of the town, one of whom gave a collection of
Indian curios and
another one of Jap-
anese carvings and
costumes. Several
cases used by the
Imperial Japanese
Commission at St.
Louis were recently
given to the Library
by an order of the
Commission. The
recent exhibition
was made up of
pictures by Indiana
artists and others.
It is said that 20,-
000 people attended
in the two weeks
during which the
exhibition was on
view. A committee
has been appointed
to raise funds for
purchasing works of
art for permanent
addition to the col-
lection, and Bun-
dy's BeecA fEootL,

exhibition, has al-
ready been selected
as a probable pur-
chase.
