He says the total weight of the library matter removed was not far from 800 tons, and the cost was $5,104.10, or nearly $4,000 less than the sum Congress provided for it. Furniture and Equipment. ‘The report concludes as follows: “Under the approporiation of $50,000 for furniture for the library building the greater part of such furniture, as desks, tables, chairs, carpets, etc., needed for the several departments have been con- tracted for and many of them already re- ceived. These include the special furnish- ings needed for the m&M reading room, the two congressional reading rooms, and Lbrarian’s office, and a part of what should be provided immediately for the exhibition halls, but there is still a con- siderable amount of special cases, cabi- nets and other outfitting needed for the departments of catalogue, maps, music, manuscripts, periodicals, néwspapers, graphic art, the Toner collection, Wash- irgtoniana, Smithsonian collection, etc. This is 1 planned for and procured as rapidly as the departments become set- tled and organized. All of it should be done during the coming winter, but the funds are quite inadequate and an addi- tional appropriation is necessary. ‘The expenditures and outstanding con- tracts to December 1 on this account amount to $42,739.47, leaving a balance of $7,260.53. it is estimated that at least $30,000 more should be appropriated immediately for furniture, to consist largely of cases, cabinets, shelving, screens, etc., that must be specially designed and constructed to accommodate the peculiar contents and collections of the working departments of the library above mentioned. Some addi- tional ordinary furniture must also be provided for. Withethis amount it is be- lieved that the library as now organized und administered under the existing law can be appropriately and economically es- tablished in the new building. —————————— GALLAUDET THE CHAMPIONS.

The Library Force. “The present force is about normal and will need but slight increase, if any, for some months to come. For economical management the force of laborers, char- women, firemen and mechanics necessarily varies from time to time as the seasons change and exigencies arise, requiring a certain flexibility in the strength of the force. Heavy duties of disbursing and clerical labor pertaining to the numerous operations of removal of the lMbrary and fitting up the new building with furniture, added to the disbursements for the library itself, the. Botanic Garden, etc., have re- quired unusually able and experienced clerks. “The care and custody of the building was an important part of the business of construction during the latter years, so that the continuance of that work with no great increase jn its amount, after the construction was completed, naturally called for the retention ‘of a number of the experienced employes, who were the sur- vival of the fittest for thorough familiar- ity with this extensive and complex build- ing. Comparatively few new ones, and those of the less skilled classes, were need- ed, therefore, in building up the new per- manent force. “All appointments have been made in strict compliance with the law, ‘solely with reference to their fitness for their particular duties,’ and all are held to con- stant accountability by. this standard. Such as prove not to be well adapted for their duties are discharged and competent persons substituted. “Some additional force is likely to be needed as the library becomes more set- tled during the coming. year, but the amount will be somewhat indeterminate until the several depastmants of the li- brary are finally ard ner het settled are “‘Teddy” Hale, who won in 1896, with a score of 1,910 miles to his credit; Joseph S.

Attorney Darr appeared for the defendant, while Assistant District Attor ney Pugh prosecuted the case. It was shown that it is the habit of certain auctioneers doing business in this city to employ, at times, a special crier, under the. firms’ license. This, the defense con- tended, was no violation of law, while the agsistant district attorney argued to the centrary, holding that under the law the only person authorized to sell is the person to whom a license is issued and who fur- nishes a bond to insure the proper perform- arce of his business. The importance of the question at issue, Judge Scott thought, would require some further examination by the court. He an- Lounced that he would give a decision in the matter in a few days. ———— MARINE HOSPITAL SERVICE. LADIES’ PURE LINEN _HEMSTITCHED HANDKERCHIEFS— 7, 10, 1214c, 15, 19, 25c.

Past Ye: Surgeon General Wyman of the Marine Hospital service has submitted his annual report to Secretary Gage. It shows tnat during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1897, the total number of patients treated at the hospitals and the dispensaries connected with the service was 54,477. The total num- ber of patients treated was 673 in excess of those treated during the previous fiscal year. The expenditures were $535,356, about $21,000 less than for the previous year. The numter of immigrants inspected by officers of the service at the various posts aggre- gated 232,147. The surgeon general invites attention to the excellent work done by the officers of the corps during the recent visitation of yellow fever in the south. Medical officers were assigned to duty in the infected dis- tricts, and although a number of them were not immune to yellow fever, neverthe- less they rcspcnded with alacrity, und per- fermed their duties with judgment and otfnee officers contracted yellow fever and one lost his life by accident in the iine of thie expert ecervice was of great value in the prompt: determination of the existence of the disease, witnout which the necessary precautions would not have been taken by local authorities. The surgeon general states that there is Uttle doubt that the work which was done had a marked effect in controlling the ef the disease and preventing a much more extensive epidemic. ‘The total number of cases of yellow fever Slosson the New Champion.

The program pre- sented was made up of numbers that could only contribute enjoyment to the occa- sion, and the manner in which the ap- preciation of the large audience was man- ifested showed the high esteem that this Popular organization enjoys in this city The Saengerbund was, of couse, one of the features of the evening, and, under the direction of Mr. Henry Xander, sang with finish and precision.

SOLDIERS’ HOME THEATER. — The Paint and Powder Club presented “The Deacon” and a French farce, “Ici on Parle Francais,” at the Soldiers’ Home Theater for the benefit and enjoyment of the in- mates of that institution Saturday night. As it was the initial performance of the club, which is a new organization, a good deal of interest attached itself to the event. ‘The Deacon” is a two-act comedy by Mr. Jcres, and, although the Paint and Powder Club is a creditable organization, it could not quite cope with Mr. Jones’ lines and situations. In the French farce the effect was much better, and the old soldiers thor- oughly enjoyed the comical situations and lines. Those who had parts in the two Productions were Mrs. Valentine Shepard, Miss Ethel Sigsbee, Miss Kimball, Miss Craigen, Mr. Wallace, Mr. Schayer and Mr. Riddleberger, all of whom were cred- itable in the characters, respectively, as- sumed. The next productions scheduled for this ambitious organization are Sardou's “Diplemacy,” “The Two Orphans and “A Sociai Highwayman.” REV. MR.
