THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 189¢-FOURTEEN PAGES : NEARINGCO,APLETION ‘Tho Library Buildingto Be Finished Within a Year. MECHANISM IN THE GREAT ROTUNDA Removing the Last of the Old Residences. : BEAUTIFUL DECORATIONS Late in the past week work was begun on the demolition of the last of the original buildings that formerly occupied the double square now the site of the new Congress- ional Library building. The larger of these buildings stood on the northeast corner, and was occupied until a few days ago by Mr. Bernard R. Greene, who has frum the first been Gen. Casey's chief assistant in charge of the work of construction. Here was assembled a force cf clerks and draughtsmen, together with all the neces- sary accompaniments of the great task of intelligently directing the erection of one of the largest and most beautiful buildings in the world. Behind this building was another, a smaller structure, filled with the paraphernalia of the work. ‘These two houses were once residences, that on the corner being regarded as particularly fine in appearance in its day. Jt was of an cld- fashioned type, and looked comfortable. In thg row that stratch:d between it and the Capitol grounds, one block distant, were many other fine old mansions that were all swept away ruthlessly to make rcom for the imposiig pile of granite and marble that is now approaching comple- tion. Moved the Offices. When the work had progressed sufticient- ly, Mr. Greene moved into the library build- ing itself, taking one of the rooms on the ground floor for his own office, and scat+ tering his force, now somewhat reduced, in the various apartments that are habitable. Gen. Casey has a desk in Mr. Greene's Toom, and keeps an eye rersonally on the progress of the werk. He is intensely con- cerned in this great project, and attends to details with all the enthusiasm and keen- ness of interest that he formerly showed in all of the engineering problems of great magnitude intrusted to his care by Con- gress and the War Department. The work of teariug down these old houses, which alone stand in the way of the completion of -the purk around the library, was started at once after the con- tracts had been let for their sale and re- moval, and the agreement is that they shall be entively out of the way of the graders and pavers by the Ist oi April. Then the curbs will be extended to the corner, and the foundations for the lawn will be laid ard the grass sown, so that in all likelihood this summer will find the entire park surrounding the building brilliant with the greenest of turf, adding material- ly to the beauty of the structure, the out- side of which is now completed. Active Work Inside. Inside of the walls there is yet a great deal of bustle and hurry. The work is still in progress in the great rotunda, or read- ing room, where the flooring has not been laid and the mechanism of the great cen- tral desk is unfinished. The work of put- ting in place the new book elevator has been started, and ir a short time it will be given a practical test. This device is the invention, in part, of Mr. Greene, and 1s thought to be perfectly adapted to the needs of the library. It commun:cates with each of the stacks or repositories of books, and is designed to carry the volumes to and from the central desk in the rotunda with- out the aid of human assistants. The up- paratus works on the principle of an end- less chain, with “fingers” or brass baskets at intervals, capable of holding a large vol- ume each in such a manner es not to in- jure the binding in any way. A book being caNed for by a reader in the central room or rotunda, a note or memorandum 1s writ- ten and sent by pneumatic tube to the sec- tion where that volume is known to be. The book is then placed in the carrier by the assistant in the stack, and goes forth on its travels toward the central desk. When it arrives there it is lifted from the “finger” by a corresponding set of hooks, which op- erate smoothly between the parts of the carrier, and so take the volume out of the reach of the traveler. This is done gently, and it is planned in such a manner as to give a greater speed than can be obtained by the use of human agenc.es,without hurt- ing the books themselves. The Book Elevator. As the apparatus is as yet only experl- mental, it has been decided to put but one chain in position at present, communicat- ing with the north stack. If that works satisfactorily on a test, to be applied as soon as possible, tlie entire system will be inaugurated, including a carrier working in the tunnel that has been dug between the library and the Capitol. It will take but a few minutes for any bock desired by a reader in either building to be delivered, and it is anticipated that all this will be done in so quiet a manner as not to disturb the readers gathered in the central hall. At present this hall looks rather chaotic. The great circular scaffolding is still in place, the finishing touches having just been put on the beautiful fresco at the peak of the dome. There have been only three of the statues that are to adorn the caps of ihe eight pilasters put in place, and until all of them are set the scaffolding will probably be left as it now stands. Un- til this is removed it will be impossible for the visitor to obtain an adequate idea of the beauty of this great room, with its wealth of color and its perfect harmony of Ught effects. The marbles are, of course, all exposed to view. the dark brown of the ‘Tennessee showing in fine contrast with the yellower and redder tones of the Sienna and Numidian marbles. The floor is to be of white marble tiling, which has not yet been set. The material is all at hand and ready for setting, but it will not be put in place until all of the other work in this apartment has been finished, for the reason that it might otherwise be injured. The clock that is to fill the center panel of the western gallery that opens into the rotunda has not yet been made, but it will be ready in season, says Gen. Casey. it is to be large and elaborate, with five bronze figures surrounding it. One is to represent Time, surmounting the whole, with a figure typical of the hours on either side. Below will be two readers, characteristic of the uses of the room. Lighting the Rotunda. Gen. Casey and Mr. Greene have recent- BANEFUL INDIGESTION. The Disorders. It Causes and the Poisons It Instils In the Blood. If we only knew how dangerous, Insidious and ruthless a disease indigestion is, we wou!d not wait as we do before endeavoring to cure it. The longer we wait the’ more dangerous it is likely to become. So the sooner we take Shaker Digestive Cordial the better It will be, and the better we will be. Indigestion {s dangerous because it creates polsons in the stomach which are absorbed by the blood and by it carried to all parts of the body. - Could anything be worse than this? ‘These poisons would not be formed if tho ‘stcmach could digest its food. When it can't Shaker Digestive Cordial will help it to do so. Nothing will-help the stomach so well as Shaker Digestive Cordial, nothing else cure indigestion 20 quickly or 90 positively. ‘The reason is that it purifies the stomach and the blood, and makes your food strengthen instead of poison you.

This is delicate work and requires a high degree of skill, and is necessarily performed slow- dy, and after all the heavier work has been done.

Be 3 " Some of the ceilings in the main lobby are yet undecorated, the contracts not hay- ing been let as yet. ‘These ceilings are groined, and will present a most beautiful appearance when the delicate colors of the designs have been laid on in mosaic. There is a large room at the right of the entrance as the visilor approaches the rotunda that ls yet to be finished in the decoration. Some of these designs have not yet been prepared, but as all of the other work is now out of the way there is no question but that every stroke of decoration will be completed before the 27th day of February, 1897, the day on which Gen. Casey years ago promised to deliver the building to the government in a finished condition, The Day of Completion. ‘When a Star reporter asked him the other day on this point the veteran engineer de- clared, with pride in his voice: “On the 27th day of February, next year, this building will be placed in the hands of the proper Cfficials of the government, whether it is finished or not. But,” he added, with a twinkle In his e: “T have no doubt that it will be finished. There are many.details yet to be ar- ranged. About nine contracts have to be let before theework is all done, in addition to the Tabor that is being constantly ex- pended under the direct supervision of the officers in charge. Mr. Greene says that when the building is finished. there will have been about 200 contracts awarded and performed. This represents a vast amount of clerical work, of drawing and of esti- mating. It covers several million dollars, and the present showing is a building that is declared by many travelérs to be the finest structure of its kind in existence. The unfinished building is already on ob- ject of great interest to tourists, and even to resident Washingtonians. Every day scores wander through the completed sec- uons and admire the portions of work that are exposed to view. Probably more would visit it if it were more widely known that, many portions of It are open :o all who may desire to enter from % o'clock in the morning until 4 in the evening. ——_—_— CHINESE TELEGRAPHY. Numerals Are Flashed Over the Wire aba Then Trnnglated by a Cod: According to the “Statesman’s Year Book,” all the principal citles of China are now connected with one another and with Pekin, the capital, by telegraph. Recent visitors to China say, ‘however, that tele- graphing there is a: laborious and an ex- pensive process, and that fie lines are a charge upon the state treasury instead of & source of revenue. The dispatches are, of course, sent in Chi- nese, for not one in many thotsands of the natives knows any language except h's own. But the Chinese have no alphabets Their literary characters, partly ideographic, partly phonetic, number many thousands. It 18 Simply Impossible to invent telegraphic signals. that would cover the written la: guage. Here was an obstacle in the way of using thé telegraph at all. 3 The difficulty was obviated by inventing a telegraphic signal for each of the cardinal numbers, and so numbers or figures might be telegraphed to any extent. Then a code dictionary was prepared, in which each number from_1 up to several thousands stoed for “a “pafilcutar Chinese letter’ or ideograph. It is,-in fact, a cipher system. The sender of the message need not bother hi ,about its/meaning. He may’'tele-- graph all day without the slightest idea of the information he Is sending, for he trans- mits only numerals. It Is very different with his friend, the re- celver. He has the code dictionary at his elbow, and after each message is recelved he must translate it, writing each literary character in place ‘of the numeral that stands for it. Only about an eighth of the words in the written language appear in the code, but there are enough of them for all practical purposes. But the Chinese system has its great dis- advantages. Men of ordinary education have not sufficient acquaintance. with the written language to be competent telegraph receivers, and the literati are not seeking employment in telegraph offices any more than our college professors are. So the gov- ernment recruits its employes with much difficulty. Besides, the patrons of the tele- graph are comparatively few in number. There are almost no Chinese who have busi- ness relations all over the country, as is the case with many thousands of our business men. The public is not invited to buy stock in the Chinese telegraph lines, and if it was nobody at present would buy with a view to dividends. The receipts do not equal the expenses, and the government makes up the deficit. . There is another great-disadvantage of the Chinese telegraph system. All over the world the movements of rajlroad trains are regulated by telegraph. The or received by the station agent are filed in plain view of the employes, and, if need be, the switch- man may take temporary charge and carry out the instructions from the central office. Railroads have been introduced into China to a very small extent, and there is talk of greatly extending the service, But how about running the trains? writer in Le Mouvement Colonial of Paris says that if railroads are introduced to any extent in China the personnel must be exclusively European and’ American, or recruited from the literary class. He says the Chinese government will net take for- eigners into its service, and that the edu- cated men of China, who alone among the people have sufficient knowledge of the written language to be intrusted with the actual running’ of trains, would refuse most emphatically to be either train hands or station agents. This is one of the man: gat stumbling blocks In the way of China's progress, but it is quite effective in its wa; too Told of Creek Shaftiers.

Eccentricity in bicycle costumes has been voted decidedly bef form. Women have finally decided that it is possible to have a costume for bicycling that will be becoming, suitable and inconspicuous; and, indeed, anything smarter or more becoming than some of the new costumes it would be ex- tremely difficult ¢o discover. It is not in the least necessary for a woman to ride phe- 1omenally long distarces at a frightful rate of speed in order to prove her ability as a cyclist. The successful cyclist is she who becomingly garbs herself in a trim, well- cut costume, and is always ready for a ride of moderate duration. She is then in good health, good spirits and good looks. There are constantly being advertised new styles of bicycle costumes. Some are good, some very poor, and the happy average is as hard to find as in anything else. The proper length for the skirt is now conceded to be about to the top of the boots; 1.0 shorter, and for hall riding even longer. The fullness is all in the back, but there is so much goring over the hips and width be- low that the outlines of the figure are be- comingly hidden, On the correct cut of the skirt depends the beauty of the costume, which may be made of a cheap material, if orly it hang well. There are two ways this season of arrarging the fullness of the shirt at the back. One has it all beneath the folded-over pleats which meet at the back; the other has two box-pleats, double, lke many of the walking costumes. The Proper Waists. The most becoming style for the waist is the Norfolk jacket, but this season the filled-in Eton jacket is more popular. The Norfolk jacket has the pleats sewed down (and cut away underneath), and there is Lone of the ugly bulkiness which formerly condemned that garment for stout women. It should be made to come quite below the waist line, and with full-skirt effect. At the neck it is cut open just enough to show the necktie—the fovr-in-hand, fashionable once again—and has small flat revers. The sleeves of a correct Bicycle costume are much smaller than for other gowns, and are invariably of the leg-of-mutton shape. When the Eton jacket is worn, it must be very carefully fitted, and the front have turned-back revers, which are broad at the skoulders and taper in at the waist. A full silk front is part of this costume, and is worn with a narrow turned-down collar, supposed to be the same as boys wear with their Eton suits. While the Norfolk jacket can be made becoming alike to thin or stout women, the Eton jacket is never be- coming to a woman with short waist and ticad hips. Large hips may, according to classic lines, be made very handsome; they certainly do not tend to graceful effect when riding a wheel, and the costume that will modify them is the best for women in general. There are many devices for the placket- hole, and the skirts that quite do away with it in the back and have the front breadth button at each side are the smart- est in appearance as well as the most com- fcrtable to manage. Where buttons are not Uked, - invisible hooks and eyes on a flap answer every purpose. A linen collar looks very smart with a wheeling costume at the start, but so alarmingly soon wilts that most women prefer the pique stocks, which do not re- quire a collar and launder so well. These stccks are long ‘enough to go around the neck twice and tie in a full four-in-hand, and retain the starch and fresh look a sur- prisingly long time. Tight lacing when bicycling is quite impossible, and a short cerset is necessary to comfort. The health waists are liked, but, after all, they do not support the figure well, and require to be worn with gowns that are heavily lined. Leather leggins and low shoes or high laced béts are the proper footgear; and as the feet ere very prominently displayed, boots or shoes must be of good shape, ‘There is very little chance for econcmy in a thoroughly fit bicycle costume, for every detail ts so much en evidence, end there are no additions of trimming to cover up Cefects of cut. Colors. The most fashionable color for a bicycle costume ia brown or mixed cheviot. Light cloths soil too easily, and solid colors show dust in| a mest discouraging way. The fashionable shade of brown is a light chest- nut, which Is relieved by yellow tie, or full front of yellow, and a feather in the soft felt. hat. Tan leather leggins, tan shoes, and gloves of the same look uncommonly smart with these brown costumes, giving just that touch of individuality that any gown of the sort needs to relieve it of its too masculine effect. ‘The right sort of @ hat is a soft Alpine or.<fomburg hat, its only trimming one small colored feather stuck at the left side of~‘the ribbcn band which encircles the crewn.

It has a brim to shade the eyes, and fits dcwn cver the hair, so that naturally un- tidy locks can be kept in some sort of or- der, and is now universally worn by young and old, who have tested it to their satis- faction. Thoroughly well equipped, and with the knowledge that both wheel and costume are the very latest thing, the wo- man cyclist is & charming object to behold, and if she does not ride too far nor to> long at a time, will find herself growing younger every day, and will discover how much there is to live for outside a routine of social duties or a treadmill of household worries. —— A DIAMOND MISER. Lives in a Tenement, but is Able to Pay $50,000 for Jewels, From the New York World. There came shuffling through the length of a well-known jewelry store in this city the other day a creature strangely out of place among all that finery and gleaming jewelry. It was not possible to suppose that she was even the servant of one of the magnifi- cent-appearing women who sat there wait- ing. She paid no attention to them. They thought she was some scrub woman who had entered by the wrong door. For she was shabby, oh! so shabby. On her head was a hat which no woman could describe, and which was but a relic of a former generation. A sealskin coat that had been worn out years ago was co) spicuous because of its worse than shabbi- ness, while her skirt was really disrep- utable. And yet beneath that shabby ex- terior was a fortune in diamonds. The firm’s expert in diamonds approached the shabby old woman with deference’ and placed tefore the homely woman in the shabby clothing the finest and most rare diamonds that were in the safes. Indeed, everything in the line of diamonds that a millionaire buyer would look at was Placed before this very indiiferently dress- ed woman, Instead of having an eye to de- sign and setting she was all indifference to everything but the quality of the diamonds. The salesman flashed the big white beau- ties in her eyes to show their perfections. The strange woman tried on the orna- ments. She studied the effects of one after another. The bracelets gleamed below the tight sealskin sleeves. A gleam of pleasure came in the woman's eye as she caught the: lights from the biis of white stones. The last necklace was a magnificent af- fair. The woman turned her head this way and that to catch the effect of the rows of diamonds. She took off the necklace and held the stones to the light. The price was told her. 4 She tried it on again over the common- looking waist. “T'll take this,” she announced. And, as if the cool, indifferent way in which she bought the necklace wasn't suf- fictent, un immense roll of money was pro- duced from her skirt pocket. Fifty thou- sand dollars was counted out from the roll, and then the woman tucked apparently as much more away in her pocket again. “That,” said the salesman, as he looked after the cisappearing figure, “that is a wo- man who prefers diamonds to everything else. She buys diamonds instead of real estate. Of course, there’s no income from her diamonds, but that is her way. What is more, that woman and her diamonds live in a tenement house. She gets all of her comfort in life out of her diamonds. She and they represent a though was A WORLD'S FAVORITE, Go, But This Has Come to Stay. ‘This season has brought’ many fashions.
