...Reading-room resolutely refuse to subscribe seems to point to the fact that the Reading-room is considered as common property. The disappearance of Harper's Weekly and several other journals within the last few days shows that this erroneous opinion is growing alarmingly prevalent. This petty thieving must be stopped at once, and the Executive Committee are ready to "make it exceedingly unpleasant" for the offenders...
...stock in trade has become exhausted, he resorts to calling good things by bad names, which does quite as well. Strengthened by these advantages, he has succeeded, within the narrow compass of some seven hundred lines, in knocking modern society quite out of time.

There is, to be sure, some water in the Connecticut, but not enough. Nearly in the middle...

The author of that suggestion must have forgotten that the positions of the crews at the start are given out by lot, and I hope that he does not accuse any of his friends of using head-work or management in the drawing of places...
