The newly organized Washington Library Association held a meeting last night at the Columbian University, which, in the absence of President Spofford, was pre- sided over by Dr. Adler. The object of the meeting was to receive a report from a committee consisting of Gen. A. W. Greely, chairman; Mr. A. R. Spofford and Mr. A. H. Allen, which had been appointed at a previous meeting to determine ways and means for the establishment of a free pub- le Mbrary in this city. Gen, Greely's Report. Gen. Greely presented his report, in which he stated that at the one meeting held he was authorized to ask, in the name of.the association, additional subscriptions to those already obtained by him in his individual capacity. About 150 volumes have been offered as a nucleus for the ll- brary itself, He considered that an_an- nual income of $2,000 for five years would be necessary for the care and existence of a small library and reading room, but hoped that the sum of $4,000 annually may be secured. He added that the sum of $2,385, payable in five annual installments, has been se- cured, and $500 to $600 more practically promised, thus insuring an annual income of nearly $600. There has been no plan formulated, no room selected, no step taken to advance any partial or imperfect scheme, but the whole question of organization, location and administration is left to the action of the committee to be hereafter selected by the subscribers. The Board of Trade’s Bill. After Gen. Greely had read the report, Dr. Adler suggested that as Mr. Dubois and Mr. Flint, two members of the library committee of the board of trad’, were present, he would like to hear from them as to the progress which the board of trade is making in the’ direction of securing a free library. Mr. Dubois said his commit- tee had prepared a bill which had been favorably reported by the House committee on the District of Columbia, and would be called up in the early part of the com- ing session. This bill has frequently been described in The Star and its provistons are familiar. He read the main points of the bill and sald it had been prepared with great care after consultation with the li- brarian of Congress. At this point a somewhat lengthy dis- cussion ensued upon the merits of the board of trade’s bill. It developed that there was opposition to some features of the bill on the part of the librarians of the various departments, several of whom were present. They feared that the bill proposed to take away some of their books, and they announced their opposition to such a plan. Dr. Ames of the Interior De- partment library, Mr. Fitzgerald of the War Department and Mrs, Kimball of the Treasury Department gave testimony to the effect that but Vefy few books could be supplied by the departmental Ibraries tor the proposed free library. Mr. Lowdermilk said the bill proposes to do what every othet litvary in the country is trying to avoid. To deplete the depart- mental Hbraries, which might be called branch libraries, and te establish a central library is not a good idea, as every one would have to go to the central library to get books which they can now obtain through the departments. At this point Dr. Adler suggested that the discussion was getting away from the business in hand. The question before the meeting was not t merits of the board of trade's bill, but G eely’s report. Mr. Dubois of the board of trade committee said his committee would be glad to con- fer with the library association upon the methods of securing a public library, as it was evidently the aim and object of both organizations to do this. The bill could be easily amended‘to met! any objections which might seem serious. Mr. Rufus Thayer advocated the plan of procedure suggested in Gen. Greely’s re- port, and said that if the city would first show some inclination to take a step in the direction of establishing a library Con- gress might be encouraged to ald the move- ment. The Report Laid Over. A resolution was adopted declaring that the association had listened with gratifica- tion to Gen. Greely’s report, and that on account of its importance it should lie over until the next meeting for further consideration. Secretary Fassig then announced the election of new members of the association as follows: Dr. J. M. Toner, Mrs. A, F. Stevens, Irene Tyler, Rev. Mr. Coppins of Georgetown and Dr, Cleveland Abbe. Committees Appointed. Committees appointed by the executive committee were reported as follows: Free public library, Messrs. Greely, Spofford and Allen, Formation of a union list of periodicals in Washington libraries, Messrs, Adler, Cutter and Fassig. Care of maps, Messrs. Darwin and Persons. Lending books, Messrs. Prince, Coppin and Pres- well. Public documents, Messrs. Ames, Lowdermilk and Church. partment books, gerald and Fuller. At.the conclusion of the business meet- ing Dr. Adier described in an entertaining manner a recent visit to some of the great libraries of Europe. BREITNER Exchange of de Messrs. Farquhar, Fitz- THE MURDER. The Brothers Eichelberger Will Plead Guilty to Mansinughter. Messrs. Samuel D, ‘Truitt and Alexander Wolf, counsel for Albert and William Etchelberger, indicted for the murder of Henry Breitner on the 14th of last July, hada consultation with District Attorney Birney today, with the result that Mr. Birney agreed to accept a plea of guilty of manslaughter from both defendants. The defendants, it is expected, will enter such a plea tomorrow morning before Judge Cole in Criminal Court No. 2, and it is understood that the district attorney will recommend that a sentence of seven years in William’s case and one of five years and six months in the penitentiary in Albert's case be imposed. The defendants are brothers, young white men, and beat and kicked the de- ceased to death at the home of their father, 205 N street southwest, in what is said to have been a drunken Tow, result- ing from an alleged insulting remark ap- plied to the mother of the defendants. Sena Ll WHEN DONS THH:ICENTURY END? se Is 1899 or 1900 the, Last Year of the Presen¢ Gentury. From the New York Sun? Just as at the end%of the last century, people are already be#inning to dispute the exact termination of,the nineteenth cen- tury and commencement of the twentieth century. It will be distressing not to know to which century we belong. So it has been proposed in P&ifis that the govern- ment shall fix the ff de siecle by official decision, At the proftr time placards like theatrical posters sWoald display: ‘'Tomor- row, close of nineteeritn century. Day after tomorrow, opening ‘df twentieth century. Admission free.” 0: Even such selentific'en as Camille Flam- marion and Dr. Bertilton had, not long ago, a shagp correspondence on the subject. One party maintains that the nineteenth century will end with its hundredth year, that fs, after % years, 11 months, 2) days, 23 hours and 59 minutes—in other words, at the end of 1809. The opposing party holds that, however this may be, the twentieth century cannot posstbly begin until Janu- ary 1, 1901, just as the second decade of figures in numerattons begins with 11, while 10 closes the first. The doubtful element is, therefore, the year 1900, which, according to one party, belongs to the nineteenth century, and, according to the other, to the twentieth, - -se0—- : Rear Admiral Balch 11.

Tributes to the Memory of the Late President Welling—The Ses- sion This Afternoon. When the final day’s session of the con- vention of the Columbia Baptist Associa- tion began this morning there was an at- tendance large enough to fill the Second Baptist Church, 4th street and Virginia avenue southeast, where the convention ts being held. A large proportion of those present were ladies, and they evinced an active interest in the proceedings of the day. Rev. Dr. C. C. Meador of the Fifth Bup- tist Church presided as moderator, and the session was opened with devotional ex- ercises, which were conducted by Rev. J. D. Smith, e The principal business of the morning was the consideration of the report of the committee. on total abstinence. The report occasioned considerable discussion, all fa- vorable to its recommendations, however, and the speakers all put themselves duwn as strongly in favor of still further re- stricting the sale of liquor in the District. The new liquor law came in for a fair share of commendation as doing something in this line, especially as to its effect in closing up saloons in the immediate neigh- borhood of churches and schools and with- in the mile limit of the Soldiers’ Home. Several of the speakers took the position that the members of the Baptist Church are not as active in the cause of total ab- stinence as they should be. One speaker especially expressed himself as of the opin- ion that any man who sells liquor or uses it regularly or in excess should never be looked upon as a true member of the church. Liquor in Grocery Store: One objection was raised against the re- port on the ground that it savored too much of favoring class legislation, and the pastor who took this position urged that if Congress should be asked to forbid the sell- ing of liquor by grocers there was no rea- son why others should not be prevented as well. The report was finally adopted, how- ever, and read as follows: “We believe that every step should be one in advance, and not a backward step. Some advantages have been gained by the present law: (1) The closing of some sa- loons within 400 feet of a church building or school house; (2) the mile limit about the Soldiers’ Home grounds. “Your committee believe that another substantial gain might be made if there could be a united and persistent effort. We, therefore, present for adoption the fol- lowing resolution: Resolved, That the pres- ent license law should be so amended as to prohibit the sale of intoxicants, either re- tail or wholesale, by the groceries in the District of Columbia.” The report was signed by the four mem- bers of the committee—Theron Outwater, R. A. Bogley, F. A. Roderick and G. W. McCullough. Following the action upon the report of the committee on total abstinence came the report of the committee on obituaries, sub- mitted by the chairman, Mr. A. M. Clapp. In this were included the reports from all the churches in the association, giving the names of all their members who have passed away during the past year. This showed that since the last meeting of the association there have been forty-eight deaths, many of those who have passed over to the other shore being among the most prominent and active church people in the District. When the name of Dr. Well- ing, the late president of Columbian Uni- versity, was reached many a head was bowed, for he was a man who was always interested in all the movements of the Bap- tist church of the city. He was the first moderator of this association, the first pres- ident of its executive board and the author of its constitution. In President Welling’s Memory. “He was the truest man I ever knew, said Mr. Richards, who was one of those who paid a tribute to Dr. Welling’s mem- ory. “He was the most honest and reli- able man I ever knew. He may not have been without fault, for no man ever 1s, but I have none to record against him. His was a blameless character and with- out spot, a pure and honorable soul. Noth- ing more can be said of any man. Rev. Dr. Muir, the moderator, and others, took advantage of the opportunity to speak a few eloquent words of tribute to the memory of the late president of Columbian University. ‘They were men who had been associated with Dr, Welling in his work in this city and they spoke in turn of va- rious phases of his character and meth- ods. Rev. Dr. Muir presented a resolution ap- proving the action of the ministers’ con- ference and the churches in inviting the Southern Baptist convention to meet in Washington next May and uniting with them in the invitation, The resolution was carried unanimously by a rising vote. Secretary Yeatman read a letter sent to the association by Rev. Wheeler Boggis, who is in charge of the Washington Bap- tist missionary station in Burmah, giving an account of the work accomplished by himself and his wife during the past year. The morning session was brought to a close by the singing of the hymn, “There Are Lonely Hearts to Cherish,” and prayer by Rev. 3r. Ellis. During the recess a handsome luncheon was served to the members and guests of the convention by the ladies of the con- gregation. The afternoon session began at 2 o'clock with devotional exercises, conducted by Rev. E. W. Bliss, and this was followed by a business meeting, at which a num- ber of matters of importance were taken up for consideration. Reports were read and received from the committees on edu- cation, Bible and tract distribution, nom- ination of a new executive board and for the place of meeting for the next con- vention. The session this evening, which is to bring the present conyention to an end, promises to be the most interesting of all. It will be devoted to the young people of the church and there will be brief address- es from various Sunday school superin- tendents on the subject of young people's work in the church. Following this will be an address by Rey. Dr. Ellis of Balti- more, and the closing consecration and testimony service will be conducted by Mr. M. M,\Shand. Yesterday's Session. Yesterday afternoon the report of the board of trustees of the Baptist Home, prepared by President J. J. Darlington, was read and adopted. The receipts for the home were $7,104.25. The evening session was devoted to a dis- cussion of methods of Sunday school work. Mr. Miles M. Shand conducted the open: ing devotional exercises and Secretary Yeatman read the report of the Sunday school committee, which gave the follow- ing statisties for the year: Number of officers, 140; number of teachers, 404; num- ber of scholars, 5,402; officers, church mem- bers, 126; teachers, church members, 3v2; church members, 1,279; average attendance, 3,192; volumes in library, 8,120; contributions for current expenses, §5,020.- sont Pane for benevolent objects, 932.55. The committee presented this question for discussion: ‘All the church in the Sun- day school and all the Sunday school in the-church,” and -Rev. J. W. Pilcher, sec- retary of the General Baptist Association of Virginia, was introduced as the first speaker. He talked about the best meth- ods for bringing all the Sunday school in the chugch, and advocated the change of name from Sunday school to Bible school. By this action, in his opinion, a larger number of the older people could be gath- ered into the schools, The Bible School. Mr. Zalmon Richards introduced a reso- lution providing for the establishment of a normel Bible training school for Baptists in this city. The resolution also provided for the appointment of a committee of five persons to execute the plans for the estab- lishment of the school. Mr. Richards’ resolution was generaily discussed, and was finally referred to the committee on Sunday schools. The general question submitted by the committee was the subject for an animated discussi participated in by Rev. Dr. Anderson, 4 Green Clay Smith, Mr, A. L. Swartout, Mr. Weeden and others, in the course of which it was shown that the proposition to change the name from Sunday school to Bible school, met with considerable favor, and while no definite action was taken upon it, it seemed as though the sugges- tion would find many friends whenever it came up in an official manner, GEN. LAWLER SATISFIED Believes the Grand Army Will Now Re- ceive Better Treatment. Had a Long Interview With Secretary Thurber—Enthusiastic Over Wash- ington and the Local Posts. Col. Thomas G. Lawler, commander-in- chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, had the interview yesterday with Private Secretary Thurber for which he came to Washington. Col. Lawler left with Mr. Thurber a copy of the resolutions which were passed by the Grand Army at tts late encampment at Pittsburg. The pro- gram of the interview was carried out as outlined in The Star of yesterday. The President was not seen, but Mr. Thurber promised to lay the whole matter before him. Col. Lawler and a Star reporter had a pleasant chat this morning at the Ebbitt. He said that he was pleased with his re- ception at the White House. He could not have asked for better treatment than was accorded him, He found Mr. Thurber an attentive listener, and, he thought, a sym- pathetic one, and he felt certain that any wrongs which had been done veterans an@ Gen. Lawler. their widows or orphans would be rectified by the President. Mr. Thurber had ex- pressed the opinion that if such injustice had been done Union veterans as was charged by the Grand Army of the Re- public, he was sure that it would be un- done. He knew the sentiments of the President toward the soldiers and their families, and he knew that these senti- ments were of the warmest and most grateful nature. Col. Lawler told the re- porter that although he should have liked to have had a personal talk with the Pres- ident, yet he was amply satisfied to leave the matter in the hands of the private secretary, whose talk was very, very fair. Col. Lawler said that there was no politics in the stand which the Grand Army had taken in the matter of the dismissals of its members from the public service, and to The Star man he did not charge that there was any politics in the dismissals themselves. The veterans had the right of way according to law when it came to retention in office, and although he be- Heved that great injustice had been done, yet this was the first tlme that the atten- tion of the head of the administration had been formally called to it. He was confi- dent as to the result. Last night Col. Lawler inspected La- fayette, Lincoln and Charles Sumner Posts of this department. He was accompanied by Adjt. Gen. Jones, Department Com- mander Nathan Bickford and the depart- ment staff. In his conversation with the reporter today, Col. Lawler said that the Department of the Fotomac was in ex- cellent condition. Its membership was flourishing and it was a membership of which any organization might well feel proud. He had never met a better set of They were earnest, hearty and enthual- astic. All the veterans had seemed glad to meet him, and he knew that he was glad to meet them. There was a ring in their speeches which had added to his enthusi- asm,and a grasp in their handshakes which made him feel as though he had lived in Washington all his life. Washington was a city of courtesy. It was the fairest city in the land. If any man was ashamed of being an American, let him come to Wash- ington and be ashamed of himself. Col. Lawler will leave at 5 p.m. today for Bal- timore, where he will inspect the posts, thence to New York, to Philadelphia, and thence back to the boundless west. The president of the Department of Poto- mac, Woman's Relief Corps, Mrs. Indiana Cowling and her staff. Mrs. A. M. Dykes, A. Burgess, I. Hendricks, 8. McCabe, J. M. Layton, G. A. Chambers, A. Thompkins and A. Johnson, called upon the com- mander-in-chief at his eadquarters this morning. A brief outline of the work done here was given to him by the ladies. —_——.__ YOUNG WOMAN'S HOME. Am Appeal for Money or Provisions by the Managers. The managers of the Young Woman's Christian Home have made an appeal to those interested in this worthy charity, as well as the public generally for donations of money or provisions. The home receives no ald from the public funds and relies en- trely for financial support upon the gen- erosity of the puvlic. The demand for the expansion of the work of the home was partly met by the gift of the present build- ing by Miss Kibbey. Quite a debt was con- tracted and additional funds are needed to meet the increased expenses, i Individual Chairs, From the Upholsterer. One of the prettiest of English fashions is that of inserting by embroidery on the covering, or by painting or carving, the name and favorite flower of the owner on his pet clfair. A chair seen recently in a charming home was beautifully inditidualized by this treat- ment. It was « low slat sewing chair that had belonged to the grandmother of its present owner, and as strong today as it was seventy years ago. The clever girl gave it three coats of white enamel paint, then gilded the two balls terminating the side posts. On the top slat across the back she painted La France roses, her favorites on the middle slat she inscribed her name, “Mary,” in an up-and-down English writ- ing, and on the bottom slat were old-fash- foned pinks, her grandmother's posies. The cushion of the seat was pink India silk, covered with a pattern of delicate green leaves, tied an with ribbons of two colors. The autograph and the blossoms stamped the chair with a unique individual- ity, and it was altogether quite as “fetch- ing” as those seen across the water, +00 New Occupation for Women, From the New York Times. A busy woman wondered the other day if there wefe not enough women like her- self, who found their correspondence duties a burden, to make the occupation of “trav- eling amanuensis,” as she put it, a paying one to some woman. Her idea was some- what different from the usual secretary's office, and was formulated to group several employers for one clerk. “If,” she said, “a woman could come an hour a day to me and have the rest of the day similarly employed by a number of other women, it would be a great relief, a small individual expense, and yet make a sufficient aggregate compensa- tion.” a Some Stylish Tea Cloths. From the Philadelphia Times. Realism in decoration has to be handled by a master hand. Some new tea cloths have for their embroidery design, first, a figure 5, then the letter O, followed by a clock face with hands pointing to the hour of 5, and last the letter T. Graceful vines and flowers entwine the symbols, but the idea is not artistle. It smacks of the rebus of the puzzle departments. Much prettier is one with an exquisite design of autumn leaves, which makes one think of crisp evenings, when the blazing fire and hissing urn are most inviting, and need no clock dial to indicate the hour to seek them. Lowell speaks somewhere about the best writing being that which leaves some- thing in the ink bottle. Art, too, should leave the imagination a little work to do, COL. COIT ON THE STAND. He Detail ‘Wash the Action of t ington ©. H. Mob. The board of inquiry into the conduct of Col. Cott returned from the scene of the recent riot at Washington Court House, Ohio, yesterday to Columbus, and recon+ vened. Col. Coit was represented by ex-Attorney General Nash and H. J, Booth. The citi- zens of Washington Court House sent A. R. Creamer and i. W. Marchant, local attorneys, to look after their interests. Adjt. Gen, Howe of Cincinnati was the first witness called. He produced the offi- cial telegrams, including those from Sheriff Cook, asking assistance from the state government, and also the orders from Gov, McKinley to himself and to Col. Colt to proceed to Washington Court House, Col. Coit was then called and gave his testimony. He said he had ordered the placing of sentinels on the balconies and in the windows, with orders to halt all comers, and if the commands were not obeyed the guard was instru to fire, “In the afternoon it required all the force - at my command to repulse the crowd, 1 further belteved that with the guards inside the crowd would be less excited.” He detailed the action of the mob during the day, and gave a description of the hand-to-hand conflict that occurred when Dolby was removed from the jail to the court room, the mob having broken through the guard in an attempt to secure the prisoner. He estimated the number in the mob at 2,000, One of the number got his hands on the prisoner, and was pulled away by himself. Four or five ~ among them the son of Mrs. Boyd, the colonel, called him out and asked him to make only a slight show of resistance — jet them “take the nigger and hang mi Repeated calls from the crowd de- manded that Dolby be hanged, and Sheriff Cook and Colt, too, if they could not get the prisoner. He explained that he had repeatedly re- quested the mob to disperse. The demonstrations of the mob con- tinuing, Col. Coit ordered the soldiers to load their guns in the presence of the crowd, and he then warned them that they were remaining at the risk of their lives. Maj. Speaks, the next witness, said the soldiers were continually cursed and abused, and were at all times on the de- fensive. Argument was fruitless, as the Mob would not listen to persuasion. TRICKED THE WHOLE STREET. False Rumor About Burlington Gave Plotters $100,000, None of the attempts to tap the wires from the race tracks to secure early knowl- edge of results and then swindle the pool rooms were ever planned on such an ex- tensive scale as the swindle that was car- ried through yesterday in New York, net- ting the plotters $100,000. The whole speculative world has been dis- cussing for weeks the quarterly dividend which it was expected the directors of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy road would declare at their meeting at Boston yester- day. The stock has been a 5 per cent one in quarterly payments of 1% per cent. The board of directors, with all the re- ports and data before them, went into se- cret session at noon yesterday, as tele- graphed to The Star, with the reporters on the various newspapers on the outside. Among those waiting was C. W. Barron of the Boston News Bureau, which makes a specialty of financial news. In a few mo- ments after the meeting began the tele- phone in the Boston News Bureau rang and a voice something like that of Mr. Barron announced that the 1% per cent dividend had been decided upon. In a flash the news was upon the special wire in waiting and was in the financial news agencies in this city. Another clicking of keys, and the tickers on the exchange floors and in dozens of brokers’ offices told the same story. The stock had closed the night before at 73 bid. It was then at 73%, and with fast and furious bidding and selling the price Tose to 74%, all in a few minutes. Then came a halt. " The stock might have gone up a few points further had not the telephone boys frantically motioned to the hustling and excited brokers on the floor that a check- mate had been called on the game. The boys were getting the calmer, later in- formation, which was then trickling into the offices. The price started down, but be- fore it had reached the starting point of 73% a round total of about 30,000 shar 3 had been sold, on which the tricksters were ready to enjoy a pleasant Thanksgiving. When the directors came from the coun- cil room and announced that the current business of the Burlington and Quincy road did not warrant more than a 4 per cent aunual dividend the revised news was sent cut. Away prices started on the decline, and during the remainder of the day Bur- lington went down and down to a closing figure of 701-2 on total afternoon saies of 65,000 shares. This was the opportunity of the tricksters, who could buy back at 70 the stock which they had sold at 74 on! an hour or less before, and thus pocke' the very handsome difference of $4 per share between top and bottom prices. There was indignation deep and bitter when it was explained that the first "paone message in the voice of Mr. Barron was a clever fiction. Nor was the opportunity of the sharpers confined to the one stock. The whole mar- ket, and the Grangers particularly, moved in sympathy, so the efforts of the in- siders might have covered the entire flow with profit. The telephone authorities are making an investigation, with slim chances of a cap- ture, and for a time brokers will be loth to operate recklessly on points taken from a mysteriously loaded tape. A cool $100,000 ae more was neatly raked off by the trick- sters. ——_—— +e —____ GIRLS AS WAGE EARNERS, , They Appreciate the Importance of Learning Thoroughly Detal From the Philadelphia Press, - Florence Nightingale once said: “Three- fourths of the mischief in women’s lives arises from them excepting themselves from the rule of training considered need- ful for men.” The attitude of women has changed in this respect since the remark was made, but only to a certain extent. Unskilled labor is at a tremendous dis- count In these de For instance, a young girl who has just left school with a fair education, in trying to decide what she will learn to serve as a self-supporting voca- tion finds herself blocked in various at- tempts because of her lack of requisite ace quirements. Ten y€ars ago a bright, intel- Ugent girl could take a library position, learaing the repes and being paid at the same time. Now, as the above mentioned girl learned to her disappointment, an as- pirant for the two years’ course of library, training at the Albany school must pass rigid examinations and college graduates are given the preference. And the same is true, though perhaps somewhat less strictly, of the Drexel In- stitute in Philadelphia and the Pratt In- stitute In Brooklyn. Women are beginning perforce to realize the importance, or rath- er the imperative necessity, of taking trou- ble and giving time and patience to learn- ing thoroughly the details of the profession they intend to follow, but they have not yet fully realized it. The woman wagé- earner is no longer looked upon with scorn because she works for her living, unless it is by the veriest snob, nor is it the girl that stays at home, engaged in in- dustriously waiting for some man to come and marry her, especially admired for her occupation. Public opinion has broadened very much during the past years in this regard, and women who “accept ‘compensation,’* as the delicate old-fashioned phrase put It, for thelr services have almost learned that those services must, in order to command a fair equivalent, be as well rendered as men would render and that chivalry and defense are as out of place in the business world as a pale-hued, silken evening gown would be in .he office at the ledger or type- writer. ‘ od All Kinds of Ruptures tive and ay le method of treatment « No danger--no ‘hiood—po pain at. tending. the operation.
