The first of the three handsome bronze doors for the main entrance of the new Congressional Library was completed Sat- urday in the foundry of John Williams, in New York. It was placed on exhibition this morning and has already been greatly ad- mired. The execution of the door, the New York Herald says, is a triumph of American art and artisanship, and no more beautiful or artistic piece of workmanship in bronze can be conceived. The sculptor was the late Olin L. Warner, wio received fatal injuries while riding in Central Park last summer. The dcor will be placed at the extreme left entrance of the library. Its exterior shows mythological figures. The tym- panum, the space within the arch, repre- sents Tradition, in the guise of a mother imparting information to a son, while grouped on either side are the four races of men. The subject of the right panel is Memory, the figure of a rior’s widow, ping in her arms a heimet and a broadsword. Underneath {s a small panel, on which are two cherubs supporting a shield with an urn, across which is a tendril of ivy leaves. The left-hand panel represents Imagina- tion, the figure of a woman holding a lyre. In the lower panel are two cherubs support- ing a shiel The inside of the door is plain, with the exception of the tympanum, which is orna- mented with the word “Tradition,” a Ro- man lamp and a leaf design. Each panel is surrounded on the inside by a molding of water leaf design. The whole door is fourteen and a quarter feet to the top of the arch, and the extreme width is eight feet. The door proper is nine and a half feet in height and three and a quarter feet in width. The weight is three and one-half tons. The doors swing on plvot bearings, and can be moved as easily as an ordinary wooden door. The panels and tympanum are four inches thick and set back from the frame in front seven inches. The theme of the second door is “Writ- ing,” while that of the third, which is be- ing modeled in Paris by Mr. Macmonnies, is “Printing.” The cost of the three doors will be about $75,000. SHE WANTED TO KNOW. Her Interest in Free Silver Was a Personal One. From the Chicago Post. “I want to git this here thing straight,” she-said, as she walked into the office and sat down near the desk of the man who an- swers questions. “That's what we're here for,” replied the young man in a breezy, off-hand way that showed he hadn’t struggled with the woes of that department very long. ‘What is it you want to know?” “I want to git this free silver business straight in my head, so’s I kin go home an’ lam it into John good an’ hard,” she ex- plained. \ “John being your husband, I suppose,” suggested the young man. “The same feller,” she admitted. “You see, I'm fer free silver, an’ John’s agin it, an’ what I'm tryin’ to git at is what John’ll have to say about it after the election.” “Nothing at all,” answered the young man promptly. “No matter who's elected?” “It won't make a particle of difference whether it's McKinley or Bryan. After’ your husband has put in his litthe ballot he won't have any more to say about it than you.” “Sure about that?” she demanded. “Positive.” “The people down to Washington’ll decide all about silver, and they won't leave nothin’ to his judgment. Is that right?” “That's right.” “Well, you jest write it out fer me, an’ I'll go home an’ lam it to him so hard he'll never squeal fer a week,” she safd with de- termination. ‘‘Here he’s been givin’ me a silver dollar every week since we've been married to cover my personal expenses, an’ I've been hollerin’ fer free silver right along, so’s I could git a chance to help my- self Jest once; an’ last night he up an’ said that free silver or no free silver I wouldn't git nc more than a dollar a week; an’ I jest wanted to satisfy myself that he wasn’t goin’ to have the dealin’ of it. There won't be no free silver fer me if it comes through his hands, which makes me mighty glad to learn that he don’t count fer shucks in the game. Now, young feller, I’m goin’ back to the farm to holler fer free silver some more—the freer the better—an’ if you want to see some fun you come right along with me. I'm primed to hold up my end of the argyment now, an’ you kin bet I'll holler right in the old man’s ear.”” Just Like a Woman. From the Detroit Free Press. Clement Howell was sprinting home the other evening, when he saw a young wo- man in advance of him putting in her best laps for the same destination. He knew she had run over to the drag store on the corner, and probably ‘feft the front door of the house open as d sort of protection. And she carried her p&cket book loosely in her hand. fa Clement decided to gtve her a lesson. She heard his steps, but did not recognize his particular hoof-beat, and,‘ besides, wanted to get home before her husband did, for she was happily married, ,as;the novels say. But when a hand suddenly reached from behind and seized her .pogket book, which she was easily perzuafied, to give up, she some the evening air with screams a yard and a half long. ? “Don’t shoot!” she ° yelled; “take my money, but spare, oh, spare my life!” “Hush up,” said the vdice of her hus- band; “‘you’ll have the ‘police here.” Sure enough one of the force grasped the smart Clement by the collar and wrested the pocket book from him. “I had my eye on you, young feller, and jit have you in the patrol wagon in a “But it’s a joke. protested Clem. “Tell that to the judge,” said the copper, with a sly wink. Then to the young wo- man, who had ‘stopped screaming, “Here's your pocket book, miss, and you'll be sum- moned as a witness,” “Oh, he is my husband; he only wanted to frighten me,” she sobbed. A good deal of explaining had'to be done before the policeman would relinquish his hold. Then Clement Howell told his wife that she could see how, easy it was for a robber to snatch her purse when she was so careless as to carry it in her hand. “T should have hated awfully to lose it,” she said, “for it was your Christmas pres- ent to me.” how much was in it?” asked her hus- band. “Not a single cent.” This lady is my wife,” NEW PUBLICATIONS. (rod Bestony Wi ington: “Robert ‘Bealls ‘The authors handle the subject in a frank spirit of acknowledgment of the prejudices that exist against this sport. They admit the dificulty experienced by the average spectator in the effort to fully appreciate the finer points of play, and to the end that they may increase the number cf those who see more in the game than a struggle of strength and anima! force for mastery, they devote a chapter to the instruction of the spectator. But it is to be questioned whether even with this ald a considerable Proportion of the onlookers will ever grow to love the game for the tactical maneuvers in which it abounds, but which are hidden by the massing of players. The charge of brutality is met squarely and denied, while the authors admit that the game is rough. and that there are other and better forms of bodily exercise. The volume is surprisingly exhaustive, and de- velops an unusual degree of interest, even for a person who is not enthusiastic on the subject. Diagrams and illustrations are added, and contribute largely to the pro- duction of a valuable work. THE LAW OF CIVILIZATION AND DECAY. Essay on History. By Brooks Ada S York: ‘The Macmillan Co, Washingt tano’s. Mr. Adams’ historical studies have led him into closely analytical methods of work, and he sees in and draws from the mere records of the past much that is of great value for the present. History, when studied from a world-wide and an eternity- long point of view, is capable of consolida- tions of thought, comparisons of causes and effects, and logical deductions that are without limit, and this “essay,” which de- serves a less modest name, is an instance of the value of such a treatment. Mr. Adams reaches one main conclusion from all his premises-—-that when a highly cen- tralized society disintegrates, under the pressure of cconomic competition, it is be- cause the energy of the race has been ex- hausted, and consequently the survivors of such a community lack the power neces- sary for renewed concentration and must probably remain inert until supplied with fresh energetic material by the infusion of barbaric blood. ‘Walter Camp and Lorin L.

Mr. Bunrer’s work was rather ephem- eral, appearing from week to week in Puck and only occasionally taking on a perma- nent form. As Mr. Matthews, one of Bun- ner’s warmest personal friends, tells in his brief introduction, there were but two books of verse published during the poet’s life, and these are now incorporated in the present volume, which offers, there- fore, what is probably the most complete collection of the verses that flowed so read- ily that wiil ever be made.

This is a curious protest against certain architectural and mental jars against the finer religious sense that are occasionally to be encountered in the old country.

H. Carew Being Investigated. Yokohama society is torn up over a mys- terlous poisoning case. Mr. R. H. Carew, a gentieman occupying a good social posi- tion, and secretary of the Yokohama United Club, who was married to a lady of sub- stantial income, was taken ill October 15 and died October A coroner's inquest was held, and it was discovered that he had been poisoned. The evidence showed that Mrs. Carew, just before his illness and after he was sick, had purchased arsenic in such quantities as to alarm the druggist. She said she wanted it for malarial fever. Mrs. Carew told a story of a mysterious veiled woman, dressed in black, who called on her husband while he was ill. After Mr. Carew had died and the inquest was in progress, a letter was received by Messrs. Lowder and Hall, stating that the w was going to join her “twin soul, and that she had fooled the chemist, the doc- tor and that “silly little wife hi have been unable to find an woman in black. Mrs, Carew was arrested and cherged with the » der of her hus- band, but was later released on bail. Indisputable Evidence. New York Wi y.
