By some means these houses have always received warning wheoever any ailempt was to be made against them, and thus no evidence could be obtained on which to convict the accused. Last night Lieut. Kelly prepared a plan whieh proved in the end quite @ success. He divided up his force tnto squads, arfd selecting the houses suspected of running games, he pounced down upon them simulta- neously at a late hour. no one of the men know- jr g What was the service to be pertormed until the last moment. Lieut. Keily. with officers Herbert, Horn, Nicholson and Clarke, entered Parker's place, 1247 E street. The alleged pro- prietor was arrested and seme of his customers.

Sergeant. Johnson, with ONivers Colvmbus, Jones and Thompson, entered Dar- en's, 1333 E street. Here they found the door loeked, and before the officers obtained an entrance the birds had flown by the back windows, leaving their hats and coats bentnd them. Another lot of fixtures were, however, captured and eight witnesses summoned. Ser- geant Heffner and Officers O'Hare, MeMihon and Janifer went snto Jones’, 1345 E street, Where the game was found to be in full blast, and the ofticers’ sudden appearance was indved a@ surprise. The alleged proprietor and his dealer. Vandergrift, with his faro tables, one roulette table and 500 chips, were ared.

He then proceeded to give his own views and plans for an tmproved Ilbrary on @ lot of ground two hundred feet square. “The general features were: A fire proof vuilding; no climbing of stairs; no over-heating, to destroy buildings. The lot should have reference to Ughting, ventilating and plenty of room for a \iminutative service. There should be pine rooms on each floor, and four storles high, making thirty-six rooms altogether, with the classification of books with reference to subjects.

Spofford, librarian of Congress, interesting statements, particularly ence to the destructiveness of heat on books stored !n the upper rooms or galleries of libraries. He described the condition of the books in the fourth gallery of the Congressional library and said if the bocks were animate and intelligent beings they would cry aloud from thelr sufferings. Their shriveled and parched appearance showed plainly enough the destruc- Uveness Of heat, and yet there 15 no heat from gas burners nor coal gas; these are excluded irom the precincts of that brary. A dlscus- sien followed \!pon the action of neat upon the aifferent bindings of books, the opinion betag pretty general tiat Kussia leather bindings are the very worst kind and should be discarded altogether as the most suscepuble to damage from heat.

THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY. Mr. Spefford made verbal statement on the Congressional library buliding, and the ditti- culties in the way of the various committees and joint committees on this lbrary bullding, a perfectly efficient heater, but ts open to the serious objection of producing unexpected nolses and disturbances early in the moraing, When the steam 1s let on, and late at nigtt when It Isletoff.

ONM OCT OF Many SUFFERERS. aud the Causes which led to the postponement from time totime of this subdject.

Tne ceater cf that square, which contains nineteen acres, 4s the particular spot for the building, witch may be enlarged should it ever become neces- Sery. Theplans accepted by the committee as the best, were by Mr. Smithmeyer, at a cost of atout $3,000,000, Mr, Poole offered a resolution that a commit- tee of three be appointed to prepare « resolu- rea rds the code of wr bullding fo! then a regards the needs of a new yr the na- tonal Ubrary, to be reported at a later session; adopted, and the chair appointed Messrs. le, br.

Agatn, & uniform that fitted a man five or ten years ago, when he was of more boyish build, does not fit him very well now. To parade tn sucha varlety of uniforras as we have would elicit laugnuter and ridicule from the spectators, who might imagine us to be an intended burlesqve upon reai soidiers. 1f, from a sense of pride—for we have quite 48 miicb of that as any set of men fn Wasuing- Ton, a8 OUF-Old Officers Well know—we fmmedi- ately, in view of our proposed turn out, draw new uniforms and have them altered to tit us, ‘so that we nay make a presentable appearance, the expense of s0 doing will be quite great. High oftictals, men who draw large salaries, are now protesting against being compelled to pay $ for Inaugtration ball uckets for the laly members of their familles, saying that they cannot afford lt.

And yet, us" for this one occaston, We must either assemble itke a lot of ragamufins or else spend the price of @ nalt-dozen ball tickets to {improve our sonal appearance. Can we, on our pit{fal pend, afford such an outlay? As {tts the helmet whicb all of us will have to buy will cost over half the value of a ball Uck Ail this expense, remember, for just an ho’ two of parage, forthe men’ of te stu: are too busy attending to their Te: ules, Which are onerous and p aolge in many street pa Never before the history of the organization have we tur out to show ourselves as 5, nly mortiiied and ashamed 0: '$ be on inauguration day that we pri bly never Will agin exnhtbit ourselves on parade. We have little knowledye of soldter Mmovements—have Hitle ume and opportunity tne tn lo acquire any. We regret this to a certal extent, for among us there ts certainly a riy Spirit. ‘The personal houor of the men of corps is markedly conspicuous. 11 1 were possible for us to have frequent drills at a couvenlent place—Fort Myer is 100 distant and {t costs too much time and money to get aver there—we would enjoy having them; but we are enlisted vastly more for scientific than for military purpose: In our legitimate | eld of Javor—the observation and report ot sterms—we leave It to the public to judge whether or not we ably, faithfully and inte! gently perform our duues, IUs a rare thing to ind the soldier, the Clerk and the sclentist all embedied in one man. When you do, however, you always find such a combination of good qualities well paid for. ‘Those who wil) recoz- nize us in our Circus Clothes will think none the Jess Of us On account of our livery: those who don't know us we care little about.

Those who travel In the street cars or In any public conveyance, can easily see it for themselves, any day, and twenty times a day, for that matter, Nor 1s the reason far to seek, /t can be seen any day, and twenty times a day, too, The women themselves are to blame for | 1 The change on the part of the men ! this | respect Is due, 1 venture to say. largely, 1t Lot wholly, to the utter disregard shown by mvariy it not quite all Women for the comfort and feei- ingsof inen Under the same circumstances, Nothing 1s more common in a public convey- abve tian to see women occupying, by the spreading of thetr clothing and the placing by thelr side of a parcel or two, quite space enough on a seat for an additonal passenger; yet let a man enter, no matter how old or tired’ he may be, and no movement 1s made by Ubese though’ or heartless ueens of creation toward gi ing bim that which he may need as mucu as they, and to which he is as justly entitled. Nor, as a rule, do they show apy disposition to ac commodate even thelr own Sex; and if reque ed to oblige others, they generally do 1t with an alr which indicates that they feel elthe: to- ‘sulted or injured. . A very marked instance of this selfish char acteristic occurred on one of the cars on the ‘9th street line, walling the close of Judge Tou gee’s lecture in Association Hall last e ing. In this Sat two persons who had evidenuy entered tt at the oto Street railway Station, and who, by thelr appa at last. one was bound to consider ladies.
