+ THE EVENING STAK bas the fullest Leeal Clreelatien of any Newspaper in the Werld, aed as an Advertising Medinm ts worth more thas tke ether papers published im Washington. ——— At last sutumn’s conference of the American Librarians’ Association Mr. Weston Flint, statistician of the bureau of edneation, sid: “Ag you all know Washington is not only the political center of the country, but is fast be- coming alxo the educational, scientific and literary center,and it may be easily claimed ‘that it is soon to be the library center as well, ne statistics will show. The number of books im the public libraries of the whole country, ‘sccording to our last report in 1864-85, wes a ttle over 20,000,000 volumes, and of this large number Washington had 1,208,156, or about oue-twentieth of the whole of the library treasures of the United States. The population of the eapital at that time was 198,000" and according to ite proportion of ion its libraries shoaid have contained ‘volumes instead of over 1,000,000; that is, fashington, with only 36-10,000 part of the fon of the country, has in fact over BBo pare ot ite books in ‘public libraries or fourteen times its and the above See i cee hiraries forthe past os years, it in our libraries ‘ which would probably show the proportion still greater than what is given. Why with all this wealth at hand are the gen- eral public starving? ‘These treasures are not acceasibie to the working people in their hours of leisure. The water-taker of Washington who could get no water on the upper floors of his house and very little on any floor, saw count- Jess gallons wasted in the departments and in fountains, and learned from statistics that be and the other people of the city were among the largest consumers of water in the country. The population of the capital credited with 14 times their due proportion of books and with- out @ single available public library, without even the command of books eoteree by the working people of little New England towns, detect simuilar mockery in the library statis- ties. Ifa small fraction of the books in Wash- ington were accessibie to the mass of the peo- ple of Washington the city would be well sup- plied. But no satisfactory substitute either for water or books is furnished by complimen- tary statistics. += ‘The dream of modern civilization is interna- tional coucert. It has been preached by phil- osophers, sung by poets and has formed the burden of much of the work of statesmen. The monetary conference of the American nations now in session here to agree upon an interna- tional coinage may not set on foot a system that will answer all the ends of a common coin- age for America, but it is a step toward that object. Ax it grew out of the late congress of American republics it bids fair to Dz.

Dr. Lighthill takes pleasure to submit to those in- terested the following testimonials of cures: ASTHMA CURED. ‘When cure is affected of « disease heretofore con- ‘sidered incurable, and particularly one which often entafls life-long suffering, it shonld be made public for the LeneSt of like sufferers, and for that reason I am pleased to make this statement: I have been cured of a very severe case of asthma, attended with the usual distressing symptoms, which stubbornly refused to yieid to ordinary medical aid. The cure was performed by Dr. Lighthill, 1411 K st. n.w., under whose care I wus for a few months, From the beginning of the treatment I experienced great relief, and which was followed by a complete enre. It is now abont six months since I have dropped the treatment, but not the slichtest paroxism bas re- turned, and I have remained perfectly well. I hope other sufferers will profit by this statemeut.

In Mr. Jobn Dillon, who will probably lead under the reported agreement, the Irish will have a capa- Die and single-hearted chieftain. He is com- monly regarded as the ablest of the lieutenants of the late leader. Mr. McCarthy's position wes merely that of a locum tenens. A good man, a good writer, he is not regarded as the best political leader in troublous times. += “If entitled,” according to Clerk Jewett, was entitled and the republican governor and United States Senator followed as corollaries, likewive the amaller plums of legislative places. Bat if New Hampehire has arranged everything ‘the deadlock continues in Connecticut, where ‘the senate is democratic and the house is re- publican and the end does not appear just yet. The deadlock continues in Minnesota and South Dakota. The Nebraska situation is most pecu- liar of all. The democrats and republicans seem to be ina combination against the inde- pendents. Among other things governor's election hangs on the result. This is a winter of strange things in politics. a ‘Those interested in the public library pro- Jeet—and who in Washington is not?—will read with great satisfaction the interview with the Librarian of Congress published elsewhere in Tux Stan. No one can speak more authori- tatively and forcibly on the subject of libraries than Mr. Spofford, and there is no one who can render more valuable and intelligent assistance than he in establishing the library which the people of the capital so much need. ———— ‘The killing of poor Sakers yesterday on the elevator at the Center Market should be a warn- ing to last this generation at least. Elevators should be bandied with care by those authorized ‘0 propel them and never handled at all by others. The very ease with which they are man- aged by the experienced elevator boy is a trap, as in Sakers’ case. The passenger soon fancies that be can do the thing just as well. a Did Representative Vaux forget Grant and Sherman and Sheridan and Lee and Jackson and Johnston when he stated in the House yee terday that the greatest glory the United States had made in war was made by men who never heard of West Point or any other military in- sttation? ee ‘The attention of the Postmaster General is called to the lottery drawing which took place im the Senate yesterday and in which Senator Shoup of Idaho got the capital prize.

CURE OF DEAFNESS. FROM MR. T.E. ROESSLE, Proprietor of the Arlington, “THE ARLINGTON,” Washington, D.C., March 6, 1890. My Dear Dr. Lighthill: It gives me great pleasure to state that you effected s remarkable cure of deafnees and discharze from the ears in the case of my cousin, Marcus C. Roessle, and ‘that the case has proved as permanent as it was radi- cal. Tfeelsure thet without your skillful sid my cousin would have been a deaf man all his life. Know- ing of other cases in which you have been equally suc- cessful I cheerfully rive you leave to refer to me at ‘any time, and hope that your practice in Washington ‘Will prove a distinguished mccess. Yours truly, ‘T. E. ROESSLE. CURE OF DISCHARGE FROM THE EAR OF 35 YEARS STANDING. STATEMENT FROM ME. EDWIN F. JONES. 1820 13th st. n.w. Washington, D.C., November 17, 1800. For over thirty years I was seriously troubled and annoyed from 3 profuse discharge from my left ear, attended with alinost total loss of hearing on that side, ‘and although greatly inconvenienced by the deafness, yet Icared nothing for thst in comparison with the exceedingly offensive nature of this continuous dis- charge. Physicians who examined my ear pronounced it in- curable; some feared that the stoppage of this long ex- isting flow might prove detrimental to my health or even endanger my life itself, but seeing a statement from Mr. T. E. Roessle. proprietor of the Ar- Tington, of s similar case cured by Dr. Light- ‘ill of this city, I gained new hope and applied to that physician forrelief, and Iam happy to state that in about three months’ time Dr. Lighthill suc- ceeded in curing my casecompletely. There has been ho discharge for over five months; my hearing has fm- Proved and iny general health is all right.

Ofice of “The Republic, 1308 Pa. ave., ‘Washington, D. C., March 28, 1890, (Dr. Lighthill: Dear Sir: Having suffered for « long time from a se- Vere and obstinate catarrhal affection, which hereto fore defied all medical treatment, I felt impelled tocall on you for advice, and I must say, while I was very favorably impressed with the thorough manner of your examination, I felt somewhat doubtful as tothe eff- cacy of your treatment, because of its extreme mild- ‘ness. Bat since I have given it a fair trial, resulting, as it did. in such decided benefit to me—in fact,amount- img substantially to a cure—I deem it but the simplest Justice to you to express roy entire confidence in the same.
