ACTION OF THE BOARD OF TRADE | Practical Suggestions Made to Ac- complish This Great End. DETAILS FULLY EXPLAINED ——>—____ i ‘The report of the committee on libraries was read at the meeting last evening of the board of trade by the chairman, Mr. | Theodore W. Noyes, and signed by the fol- owing members: James T. Du Bois, Dan- fel Murray, John G. Ames and Frederick |B. McGuire. In connection | port, a draft of a proposed bill, incorporat- |ing the suggestions of the commitiee, was read. The report was adopted and 2,000 | copies were ordered to be printed for gen- jeral distribution. The report is as follows: “Why is there not a majesty’s Mbrary in every county town? There is a majesty's jail and gallows in every one.” The re- proach of Carlyle’s question of more than half a century ago has beea in large meas- ure removed in England through the series jof public libraries acts; and in New Eng- | land also, and in many states of other sec- {tions of the republic, majesiy’s livraries— | libraries of the American majesty, th | ple—are far more numerous and con |ous than the jails. The school and the li- brary, twin- agencies of education, lessen the need for the prison, and push ‘t into the background. Today there is general recogaition of the important educational position of the free circulating brary and reading room, ac- cessible at hours when their treasures can be utilized by students, both from schools and colleges, and from among the working people, whose daylight hours are largely occupied in bread winning. Especially are such libraries appreciated in this land of free schools. In state alter state, respond- ing to the popular demand for these educat- ing and civilizing agencies, has iegisiation been enacted to supply each iittle munici- pal subdivision at the taxpayer's expense. So notable has been this movement that it has been reasonably predicted that the last quarter of the ninetesnth century will go wh in history as the age of clectricity and free libraries. The progressive com- munity needs the public library as it does the telegraph and telephone. it is on the same fovting with the common school; it is the free university of the people. in the public school a liking for books, a desire and thirst for knowledge may naturally be j acquired. The Mbrary develops tis lik! and meets and gratities this lesire. be school imparis the ability to educate one’s self by the intelligent use of jooks. The library supplements this instruction by pro- viding the means and opportunity for such self-education. As Commissioner W. T. Harris of the bureau of education has aptly Stated: “The school teaches how to read— how to use the printed page to get out of it all that it contains. Tne library fur- nishes what to read; it opens the store- are complementary functions in the great work of education.” Benetits of the Library. The library ts, then, a true university, both for the graduates of the public schools |and for the whole people, without regard | to class, or sex, or age, or wealth, or pre- | vious condition of servitude to ignorance. | The people eagerly avail themselves of the | educational .opportunities offered by the |Public library. It raises the whole com- |Munity to a higher intellectual plane. 1t }1s also not withvut its beneficent intluence a3 a moral agent. In some of the small | New England towns the record stows that as Many as one out of every itants, counting men, women and children, is registered as a borrower of library books. | More persons have there registered to read |than have registered to vote. The statis- | ties also show that at first fiction was most jlargely drawn upon by such readers, but that, as the tasie for reading was Jevelop- ed, stronger food for the mind was ue- | |Manded, and the ratio of serious reading | Steadily increased. The reading room has | Proved and will prove a strong rival to all |Gemoralizing resorts in claims nthe jevenings of many, especially the young, and has served and will serve more and more as a satisfactory substitute for night- ly idleness in dreary lodgings or on the | streets. | What Carlyle sought for each English | | county town, and wnat many English and American villages now enjoy, the national | capital lacks and seeks to obtain. It is fast | becoming the republic's educational cen Universities are founded in ra) | Sion within its limits. But the ¢ library university, for those whom Linc jlovingly called the common peopie, is y: to be created. According to the statisti there are much more than a million boo in the semi-public libraries of Washington, about a twentieth of all in the republic; and when these have been apportioned among the citizens after the methods of statisticians it appears that the District workingman has fourteen times as many public books as the average American. And the only difficulty jis that he cannot possibly make any use | of them whatsoever. | Want Amidst Plenty. | |The resident in more elevated sec- | tions of Washington who could |on the upper floors of his hc | little on any floor, saw count | Wasted in the departments, in fo: otherwise, and learned fr. he and the other citizens were in per capita |average of gallons dally used among the largest consumers of water in the country. | The population of the capital, credited with nd very less gallons ains and |fourteen times their proportion | of books, and without a available Ihd- ing library, w 5 Tooms open at night, without ev command of books | enjo: by the working peopie of | northern and western towns, dete |lar mockery in the libra is | satisfactory substitute either for { water or actual books is furnished by com- | plimentary statistic The departmental libraries at the capital contain nearly three hundred thousand voi- umes, acce e only to a few loyes of the government, and closed to them early in the afternoon. ‘T 2 |matter in the ary is practically out of t ng men nil to the hours of tions |v fty-two libraries in the Distric | each containing over one thousand volume }and not one of them is a free lending ii with a rea Toom open at night nefit of the general public. Such }an institution is the most urgent n as workin n the public schools, small lit ormed in connec- tion w iid » and the High 1 has a very creditable colle. tion. But to complete and p. t its ed: cational system, already so admirable, by adding the people's free university to the free school, Washington absolutely needs the proposed public library, as an aid to the development of intelligent men and women, the good Americans of the future, the pil- lars of the republic. Its creation is Je- ded in the name of the 63,000 children school age in the District, and especially in the name of the 33.900 of this number who are over twelve years of age. Investigation of the departmental Mbra- ries shows that a very large percentage of their three hundred thousand volumes is composed of technical books and b of reference, which have a direct bearing with the re- | house of ail human learning. These two | ve inhab- | *| has demonstrated its usefulness and the | tno water | Statistics that | | ture for at least a quarter of a century. on the work of the department which pos- sesses them; that there are only between twenty thousand and thirty thousand voi- umes suitable for a general circulating library, and these are confined mainly to three departments. The Interior Depart- ment, with 10,000 volumes, and the War and Treasury departments, with 5,000 vol- umes each, possess nearly all these books. The clerks in the departments which have no libraries need and demand them, and the favored departments need a wider range of reading material than the small collec- tion at the disposal of each provides. There are, in round numbers, about twenty thou- sand persons residing in Washington who draw salaries from the government. Many of these represent families,;and the num- ber of readers in this government constit- uency can therefore be estimated only by the customary multiplication of the number |of government employes. In the name, | also, of this numerous and book-loving ele- | ment of the population the creation of the proposed local library is demanded. An Appeal for the District Working- man. Last, but not least, comes a powerful ap- peal from the District workingman. Some- times, in view of the notable absence from the capital of dirty, noisy factories, which would tend to reduce the city’s attractive- ness as a place of residence, the question is raised, “‘Is there any such individual as the District workingman?” The census of 1890 discloses the fact that, while it is the policy of the capital to encourage only light and clean manufacturing, like that of Paris, over twenty-three thousand adults were engaged in the District in lines of work which are classed as manufactures, | omitting from consideration entirely all | the other numerous forms of labor. Nine- teen thousand of these are engaged in pure- ly local industries. Over four thousand are discovered to be in government employ, | mainly in the government printing office | and the bureau of engraving and printing. | It appears from this report that there were in 1890 in the District twenty-three hun- dred manufacturing establishments, with a@ capital of $28,876,258, paying in wages $14,638,700, using materials costing $17,- rf and with products of the value of $39,206,259. To the census figures must be added the thousands of workingmen engaged im other lines of work not classed as manufactures, and then this number must be multiplied, since many are the heads of families, to ascertain the number of readers, and, in behalf of this great multitude of people, a free lending lbrary and night reading room are now demanded. While attention has been called to cer- tain elements of the population as standing in special need of library facilities, it is to be remembered that only a small frac- tion of all the people in Washington have the leisure to utilize and enjoy a public library during daylight hours, so that prac- tically a whole city of 250,000 inhabitants makes this appeal. The Resources at Hand. The first need of the free library—books— can easily be supplied. The librarian of | Congress states that there are many thou- | sands of duplicates in the Congressional | Library sultable for the purposes of this circulating Mbrary, which can be spared for | such use if Congress will consent, and he | has formally approved the granting of such | consent by Congress. The existing depart- | mental circulating libraries might be added to these books from the Library of Con- gress and made into a general departmental library, to which the people of the District not employed by the government might also | have access. The circulating books, num- | bering between twenty thousand and thirty thousand, accessible in the main only to the clerks in three of the departments, and ac- cessible to them only so far as the fraction contained in their own library is concerned, would, if collected in a general department- | al library, be opened to all the clerks in all the departments. A great body of govern- ment employes would enjoy privileges of which they are now entirely deprived. Those now having a departmental circulating li- brary at hand instead of being limited to its five thousand or ten thousand volumes would have access to more than twenty thousand in the general Mbrary, augmented by large additions from the Congressional | Library and by private contributions,which, if the library were once started, would un- doubtedly be considerable. The clerks in the particular buildings in which the circulating departmental! libraries are now accommodated might suffer a tri- | fling inconvenience from the removal of the books for a short distance, but catalogues | of the library should be in all the depart- ments and delivery branches established in | different parts of the city. This incon-| venience would thus be reduced to a mini- mum, and as an offset to it would be the finer library, to which these clerks would have access and the public benefit of a great expansion of the number of readers | | to whom the accumulated books would be | available. Other departments and bureaus than those which now have circulating li- | braries have applied in some instances and intend to apply in others for like privileges. ‘The establishment of a general department- al library, open also to the public, would save the government the expensive duplica- tion of works in numerous small collections | and would also economize in the room space | devoted to departmental library purposes. | Apparently the government and the clerks would profit by the project, as ell as the population in general of the city. | When the nucleus of a library properly housed is once obtained, the collection will certainly grow rapidly through private do- nations of books and money, and when it fact that it is appreciated by the public, some one of Washington's wealthy men may be moved by local pride or other good | motive to endow it and attach to it his | mame. No citizen could erect to himself a nobler memorial. A Location for the Library. It is evident that the books can readily be obtained; the difficulty is in securing a hab- {tation for the library. A location In the | new city post office has been warmly urged. | In Senate debate it has been stated that all | the space in this building will be needed by the general government; but notwithstand- | ing this announcement,the amount of avail- abl space in this vast structure will be so | t, its location is so central and there is uch fitness in housing the library in a gov- | ment building which is primarily de- | voted, in name at least, to local uses, that our committee recommend that the first | effort on the city’s part be to obtain this lo- | cation for its library. If the library can be enabled with cer- | tainty to preserve {ts distinct existence | | while housed under the same roof with the | great national library, contingencies might which would render a location in some 1 portion of the new building for the library of Congress extremely desirable. There will be abundant room in that struc An extensive reading room and every library facility will be available. The disadvantages of a location not suffictently central may be | overcome by the establishment of branches | jin different parts of the city, like those of | | the Boston public library. | The New Post Office Building. Then the advantages of space in the pro- | posed new municipal bullding, or in a | structure to be donated by some public-| | spirited benefactor yet unknown, have been | considered. Your committee have thought | the wisest course to be to make every ef- | fort at first to obtain a location in a build- | ing already authorized or in course of erec- | tion, whose construction is assured. A | municipal building, worthy of the city, when | it is legislated into existence and actually erected, would be naturally the permanent home of a city Mbrary; but we must not wait for this event to occur, or for the wealthy benefactor aforesaid to appear or be discovered. Delays in securing the sug- gested nucleus of books are dangerous, and every month of the people’s deprivation of needed library facilities is injurious. The free library of Washington should speedily come into being. It fs, therefore, considered wise neither to commit the board to an un- changeable opinion concerning the library site nor to suggest postponement of action | by seeking quarters at this time in some prospective building, whose existence is ag yet only in our hopes. Your committee ask authority to urge upon Congress legislation which shall create a library of the kind described as necessary in this report, with the suggested nucleus of books, and in that location which ‘shall appear, after conference with the appropri- | ate committees of Congress, to be most available. Your committee’ submit the draft of a bill as a suggestion of the general lines of the proposed legislation.

(EP Millions > y Len <y \4 i} can be made accessible to the mass of its people, the city will be well supplied. It will no longer sterve in an overflowing grainary. The project of a public and de- Partmental circulating brary and reading Toom, open in the evening, is worthy of the strongest and most enthusiastic labors in its behalf. It will doubtless receive the hearty support of the board of trade, of every pub- Me-spirited citizen and of all’ friends of the capital and its people, who appreciate the fact that a city of a quarter million of in: habitants contains men to be considered, and not merely streets, buildings, trees, statues and monuments. IN HOTEL RRIDORS, “The woman's suffrage question is being violently agitated in Kansas just now,” said Andrew F. Heiser of Kansas City, Mo., at the Metropolitan. “It will be put toa Ppracti- cal test at the municipal elections, which will be held in April at Kansas City, Kan- sas, and Rosedale. At the latter place an independent convention nominated a ticket containing the names of two women for members of the city council. In Kansas City, however, the straight-out democrats at their primaries placed the names of two women—Mrs. Frame and Mrs, Scharff-on the regular ticket for members of the board of education, Woman's suffrage will be the issue in the campaign in both municipali- ties. The Kansas democrats are not very enthusiastic in behalf of the reform, but they nominated the two ladies in order to practically ascertain just how the people Stand on the question. Consequently, as no possible objection can be made against the female nominees, the leaders assert that only party prejudice and opposition to woman's suffrage can cause their defeat. 1 believe the cause is gaining hundreds of friends every day all over the west, despite the object lesson of Mary Ellen Lease, and I won't be surprised to see many states ex- tend the voting privilege to women before very long.” “To secure a proper idea of the optical ex- pression of injured innocence, silent indig- nation, outraged sensibilities or any simi’ar sentiment the drtist should go west and punch cows,” said Charles R. Miller of St. Joseph, Mo., to a party of story tellers at Wormiey’s last night. “In following this occupation he will at the proper time run across a very young calf lying in the bushes: or in @ little hollow, where the grass grows high. Then he can have just dead loads of fun with the animal and forget all his woes for a whole hour. Muley cows, be it under- stood, have a way of hiding or of thinking they are hiding their offspring in some re- tired spot while they go off to graze. They just dump the animated veal down under a bush or a bunch of grass, talk with it in the cow language for a minute or two and assure it that it is safe from all harm and absolutely concealed from sight and scurry off to secure a supply of cud. Like every other infant, a calf has absolute faith and unquestioning confidence in its mother, so it lays there, nine times out of ten,as promi- nent as a white ball on a drab background well could be, never moving tail or limb and firmly believing that nothing with eyes can see it, That is the reason one can have so much fun with it. When you come across a calf that believes you don’t see it and stop the expression of the animal's eyes is one of surpreme disgust. It knows, of course, that you can’t see it and wonders what you want to loaf just in that particular neigh- borhood for, Then you can tantalize it into a thousand different feelings by making motions and grimaces toward it. I have seen a calf's eyes express more emotions in @ minute than those of a sensitive woman would in a week. Scorn, pity, anger, every- thing, but it never moves. But you'd better have your horse close by you if you touch it. Such an agonied howi of surprise and rage will go up as you never listened to before, and mother and herd will be there in short order to wreak vengeance on the disturber. Then you want to have a saddle between your legs, for a man on foot in a bunch of western cattle has just about as much chance for his white alley as a snow ball does in the place Bob Ingersoll don’t believe in.” “We are going to have a great revival of trotiimg at Charter Oak Park during the last week in August,” said Jared Butterick of Hartford at the Ebbitt tais morning. “The directors held a meeting on Saturday night, at which ex-Gov. Bulkeley was elect- ed president, and it was decided to have grand racing on the last four days of Au- gust, the stakes for which will foot up $60,000, There will be a $15,000 purse for four-year-olds; one of $20,000 for three- year-olds, called the Nutmeg stakes, and the Charter Oak stake of $10,000 will also be trotted for. Then the National Breeders’ Association will have its colts’ stakes trot- ted at this meeting, making altogether a four days’ program rever before rivaled. I believe that no pool selling will be al- lowed. I know that many people say that trotting races have fallen into disrepute, but up in my state you can easily see trom what I have told you how the sport holds | its own high place.” “I don't think Corbett will ever meet Jackson,” said Arthur Richards, the St. Louis sporting man, at the National, on his way north from Florida. “He has been keeping shy of the coon for over two years. Every sporting man knows that Corbett did the baby act when he met Jackson out in San Francisco. He said his hands were broken and quit the fight instead of going in and trying to make the scrap interest- ing. He knew he was going up against a broken-down drunkard when he went against Sullivan, and that he overmatched Mitchell. in height, reach and everything else when he got ‘up against that fellow. Mitchell had lushed himself pretty near to death, so far as his prize-fighting qualities were concerned, also, and Corbett didn’t have to fight a little bit to make a chop- ping block of him. But he’s afraid to run the risk of losing to Black Peter. I don't mean that he ts physically afraid of tak- ing punishment, but that he hasn't the courage to stake his easily won reputation on a go with a man who has half a chance to take it away from him.” “I have seen the Toltec tunnel and the Royal gorge, and all those other wonderful creations that nature has compressed with- in the boundaries of Colorado,” said Fred. Babcock at La Normandie yesterda: when it comes to Royal gorges I fellow @ couple of weeks ago at the Hotel in Memphis who put all freaks of old Mrs. hadow. other ature in a deep, dark I was attracted to him at break- He sat at the table next to mine, and was nearly through hi meal when I sat down, but he sent back three times for ham omelette and had his coffee cup twice refilled. At dinner I started in even with him, so far as time is concerned, but he outfooted me in a jiffy when it came to performance, so I just nibbled away and watched him. He squared himself, tucked a napkin under his chin and ambled away with four plates of soup, into each of which he fairly crammed water crackers. The fish was pompano, and he ate three of them to show, I presume, a proper appreciation of Lent. When his dinner came on the wait- er’s tray was piled high with dishes, and he cleaned up their contents with vora- cious speed and kept the darkey going on a trot to replenish those that tickled his palate mostly. His appetite was positively appalling. When he had finished the solids he ordered his dessert, and I declare that he called for at least half a dozen things, including ice cream, chocolate eclaire, bread pudding and baked custard. I imagine that if a dozen fellows like him would favor any hotel with their steacy patronage thi would drive the owners to hang out a red flag and start a nigger walking up and down in front of the premises ringing a great big bell.” Nature's Remedies ofttimes poorly flattered by chemical and dangerous {mitations.

The ageregate receipts of the treasury from all sources so far this month are $21,- 639,236, and the aggregate expenditures, $28,810,000, showing a deficiency to this date of $7,170,768. The fact, however, that | nearly all of the large amounts to be met during March already have been paid makes it a safe prediction that the net deficit for the whole month will not exceed $6,000,000. A warrant for $200,000, to pay pensions in New York, was sent forward yesterday. At the beginning of April the payments on interest account will be ex- ceptionally heavy. On Monday next the quarterly interest on the registered bonds of the four per cent loan of 107 becomes due, and amounts to $5,5¥U,154. Of this amount $44,185 will be paid to foreign holders; $1,759,- 010 to national banks as interest on these bonds deposited to secure circulation; $3,- 088,960 to domestic holders, and $703,999 on the coupons of this issue. While the entire amount of $5,596,154 must be paid in gold if den-anded, it is not expected, Judging from past payments, that more than a small per- centage of the whole will be asked for in gold. Except in New York and San Francis- co, where United States notes and treasury notes are always demanded, there has been | no difficulty in paying out silver certificates to meet these interest obligations. This payment will likely be the heaviest during the remainder of the fiscal year. Its effect, however, will be distributed over two or | three months, and in consequence the cash balance will on no one day show any great falling off, either In gold or curency. ——— 2+ COXEY CHEERED AND JEERED. Arrival of the Army et Alliance, ‘Where Camp is Pitched. Crowds of spectators jeered and cheered as Coxey’s army of peace marched into Alliance, Ohio, at 12:45 yesterday and under the escort of twenty mounted men, which met it on the outskirts of the town, pro- ceeded to Rock Hill Park for the night's encampment. The woman who claimed to be the wife of the mysterious Marshal “Smith " left for Cleveland, while the others pitched tent and prepared for rest. Of the 100 recruits promised only ten were added to the roll. A citizens’ meeting was held in the Opera House at 4:30. The army Was not admitted, but the hall was crowded with a respectable class of people, who listened attentively to the speeches of Coxey and Browne. Coxey made a tirade against the newspapers in general and said much of the difficulty he is experiencing is iy due to the press scandalizing him. Browne, after a harangue of about three-fourths of an hour, made an appeal for money, saying Coxey had not a dollar in his pocket to de- fray his expenses on the proposed trip. The sum realized was $10.19. After Coxey made his speech he left for Chicago to attend the horse sale. He must sell me horses today to get money to make payments on what he owes, hence his desertion of the army. ‘The camp of the commonweal was situ- ated in a muddy field and was two miles from town. The weather was so chilly that the men were driven around the fires. At 6:30 o'clock “Unknown” Smith drilled the men. They do not like this anarchistic commander and do not hesitate to say so when he is not around. He is instilling into paged minds a something which may result In riot. There was a good deal of liquor about the camp last night, but all was quiet. The men told stories and crackéd jokes with each other. Not a dozen of them ever saw a bond or know what one is, and the ques- tion whether they bear interest or not has never occurred to them. A wagon load of supplies was sent up to camp, and the bill of fare was quite ex- tensive. The Independent Church, a non- sectarian congregation, offered the church as a lodging place for the men, but the offer was declined. A leading merchant offered store room with the same result. The route teday is through Columbiana to Salem, where a witchcraft trial has ju: been concluded. Coxey will join his forces tonight and with good weather insists that he will yet make a success of the project. The weather has not been conducive to the longevity of the movement and even “Un- known" Smith is unable to keep all the men in camp. ——______-e___ Civil Service Investigations, Official investigations will soon be made of various charges of violation of the civil service law recently filed at the civil serv- ice commission.
