Standing Committees Appointed—Of- fer of Rooms for One Year—Books Ordered t Be Parchased. A meeting of the trustees of the free public library was held yesterday afternoon at the beard of trade rooms. There were present President T. W. Noyes, Secretary J. B. Larner, and Messrs. A. R. Spofford, R. Ross Perry, J. T. DuBols, 8, W. Wood- ward and Weston Flint. The committee on by-laws, through Mr. R. Ross Perry, chairman, submitted a draft of the proposed by-laws. The report was discussed at length and adopted. The President announced the committees which he was authorized by the by-laws to appoint, as follows: Rules—Perry, Spofford, Larner, Employes—DuBois, Woodward, Warner. Books—Spofford, Flint, Woodward. Buildings—Warner, DuBois, Flint. Finance—Larner, Perry, Du B Book-binding and printing—Flint, Spof- ford, Larner. Legislation—Hubbard, Warner, Flint. Donations—Woodward, Hubbard, Perry. A number of applications for the position of librarian or assistant Mbrarian were submitted to the board and referred to the committee on employes for acknowledg- ment and consideration. Under the by- laws, the election of a librarian is not to take place until next January, at the earliest, and will not, in fact, occur until the appropriation for the compensation of the librarian has been virtually passed by Congress. The committee on books, of which Mr. Spofford is chairman, | was authorized to proceed immediately to ar- range for the purchase of between $3,000 and $4,000 worth of books, this amount be- ing now available, with a strong probability that the fund will be largely increased when the time of payment for the books arrives. The bocks and plant of the ated Washington city free librar: were tendered to the Commissioners the use of the free public library, have been accepted by the Com: letter, in which they say: “Thi ers gratefully accept the si the formal delivery to be completed when’ the tr of the munteipal libra: a enabled to adequately vide for them in appropriate quarters.” The incorporated brary holds itself in readiness to turn over this liberal donation of books when- ever notified. There was some discussion of the sub- ject of a temporary site for the public li- brary, and in this connection a letter wa! read from the Pacific Building Compa: through A. T. Britton, president, te ing the free use for on purpose: of four reoms on floor of the Pacific buildin; © ins nks of ubmitted as the hould be made appropriation to be n tely available.

Mrs. Thomas R. Clendinen, only daugh- ter of the late J. Alexander Shriver of Baltimore, and sister of Mr. John 5S. Shriver, Washington correspondent of the New York Mail and Express, died sud- denly at the residence of her mother, Mrs. J. Alexander Shriver, 518 Cathedral str Baltimore, of heart disease, after an iil- of only about three hours. Mr. and Clendinen, with their two children, had been sperding a few days with irs. Shriver, and Mrs. Clendinen was in good health, having taken a drive with Mr. Clendinen in the afternoon, and not until after 9 o'clock was there any indic of sickness. The affliction Is particularly sad, as only twelve two weeks ago a daughter « at years of age, died at their ly Vernon place. Mrs. Clendinen’s de place on her birthday. The r of her daughter was so distre she grieved so much over it that her fil- ness was in part, at least, attributed to that cause. Mrs. Clendinen was bright and vivacious in temperament, was liberally educated and accomplished, generous and charitabie, and was beloved by a larg- circle of rela- tives and friends, and had many warm friends in this city, where she frequently came to visit her brother. SS Asleep on Duty. Some ong has circulated a report that some of the officers detailed at the White House had been found asleep on duty. The report reached police headquarters yester- day, but not in an official way. Major Moore is now making an investigation to ascertain if there is any foundation for the report. Sergeant Myers, who is one of the sergeants in charge of the White House squad, called at headquarters and made a statement. He said that one offi- cer was napping in one of the little boxes in the grounds. This officer, he says, was sick at the time. Captain Dubois found him, and he has been sick ever since. ‘There was another officer resting on a sofa in the Executive Mansion, but if he was asleep the sergeant did not know it. This officer has been put on duty outside the building. Policeman Austin has taken his place. Take Horsford’s Acid Phosphate.

He did not enter the marine service in 1861, He was being educated in France in 1861 and remained there until 1864, when he returned to Washington and entered Georgetown College. Although then very young. he addressed a letter to Admiral Joseph Smith, stating, “Though very you I would Ike to have a hand in the w The sdmiral was pleased with the boy, and proctred an appointment for him on the Den, tn which vessel he saw some service on the James river. Through the influence of his mother and his own quali- fications, although «till very young, which was urged against him, he secured’a posi- ticn in the marine corps. This was after the war was over, and not in IS6l. His father, B. F. Coston, was the inventor of the Ccston signal Mghts used by the navy in cornection with a code which were ac: knowlcdged to be of incalulable service dur- ing the war, and which was adopted after the war by some of the European nations. Capt Coston was himself the inventor of aerial sigrals fired from a gun or pistel. This system is now in use in the United States ravy.
