Dr. Wayland Hoyt of Philadelphia upon the subject, “ ‘Some Les- sons for Christian Endeavorers From Lasi Summer's Wa Preceding the general meeting, a number of conferences on the various departments of union work were held, being presided over as follows: offi- cers’ meetinge, led by W. H. H. Smith; lookout committee, led by M. M. Shand; player meeting committee, led by Miss Ka- turah Smith; missionary committee, led by A. L. Dietrich; Sunday school committec, led by John D.

President Grant Lee of the union was in charge of the general meeting. Percy S. Foster, assisted by Mrs. Ernest Sparks, led an impressive song service, while devo- tional exercises were conducted by Rey. A. F. Anderson. Dr. Hoyt then spoke to the young people, saying there was never a time when the American had so good rea- son to be proud of his country as today Speaking of Manila, Dr. Hoyt said the flag Waves there today. “And what placed it there?” he inquired. “Why, it was the preparation of the American navy. There was no chance about that. It teaches the invincible lesson of preparation. Some- times we fail to go to work at something because we don’t feel like it, but do you know that the oniy way to feel like doing anything is to do it until you feel like it.” After a prayer by Dr. J. G. Butler, the singing of ‘‘America’’ and benediction by Rev. C. H. Butler, the meeting adjourned. ee Alleged Swindler Again Operating. The woman who was alleged to have operated a swindling game on the mothers of school teachers in South Washington and on Capitol Hill about a month ago, as published in The Star at the time, has re- newed her operations. Yesterday after- noon complaint was made to Inspector Boardman that the woman had called at the houses of two teachers on Capitol Hill with messages which were proved to be false. At one house she saw the mother of a teacher in the Waliach schoo! building and said she had been sent by the teacher to get $2. THe woman applied to refused to give her the money, and said she knew her daughter had not sent for it. “Yes, she did send for it,” insisted the woman. “I’m the janitress of the Wal- lach building, and I know your daughter well.” Then the woman proceeded to give a description of the daughter, but she did not succeed in getting the money. Her intended victim was alone in the house at the time and was unable to send for a po- liceman to have the alleged swindler ar- rested. Inspector Boardman detailed a detective, on the case, and an effort is being made to apprehend the offender. The officers have a good @escription of the woman and some of the teachers have an idea who she is. meeting of the of the District Calvary Baptist THIS APTERNOON, TOMORROW. FUTURE DAYS. FUTURE Days.

Green, superintendent of the Congressional Library building, has been submitted to Congress. Mr. Green ss “The removal of the Library of Congress, exclusive of the law library. from its old quarters of nearly a centary’s standing in the Capitol to the new library bufldtng, had been completed at the date of the last report; therefore no money of the appr priation for that pur has been ex- pended since. Condition of Building and Grounds. “The building and grounds have been maintained in excellent condition through- out the year by a comparatively smal! force, All parts of the building within and without, including those under the jurisdic- tion of the librarian as well as those undet this office, are kept clean and in repair by this force, which also does all heavy hand- ling and moving. The care of the grounds extends to the sidewalks and the four large jaterior courts. The building contains 93 acres of floor space, 258) acres of coppered and glazed roof surface, and over 2,100 win- dows. ‘The grounds, pavements and cou cover 8. acres, “The grounds have been finely Mghted regulariy every night by the electrical ap- paratus of the building. which has also sup- Pied the artificial light needed in some parts on very cloudy days, and the power for the book-carrying and ventilating ma- chinery. Since the Ist of October last th building has been open to the public every secular day continuously from 9 o'clock a.m. until 19 o'clock pan. From declining daylight until the closing hour the principal public spaces have been lighted by the same local electrical apparatus, using some 00 lamps of different sizes equivalent to 4.40 of sixteen candle power each. These public sprees comprise the whole of the staircase hall, the main reading room, con- gressional reading rooms, the two west ridors in the first story and the exhibition halls of the west and south fronts. “AN of the mechanical apparatus of the building, comprising chiefly that for heat- ing and ventilating, lighting, water supp! elevators, plumbing and the automat book-carrying and pneumatic machinery for communication between the great reading room an book stacks, and under ground between the library building and the Capi- tol, has operated throughout the year ver: perfectly and without serious interru Public Interest. “The intense public interest {n the build- ing. as a worthy and attractive architect- ural, artistic and mechanieal work, which began as soon as it was completed and thrown open to visitors in the spring of i897, has continued unabated to the present time and is evidently permanent. The peo- ple come in numbers, frequently in small parties and anon Jarge excursion parties from a distance. School classes, studying the art work and inscriptions, under the guidance of their teachers, are often secn here, and no day thus far has been so tn- clement that several hundred persons hay not visited the building. Any observer of the steady flow of imterested visitors, quiet- iy and thoughtfully moving through the cious public halls, studying and enjoy- ing the ever-varying vistas and instenctive and amusing details of form, color and mbolism, will realize the svisdom of Con- in having provided for the erection of such a building for the housing of a great library freely to allvthe people. ‘The great extent to~ Hit 8 already used by readers and students, who constitute a goodiy portion of the general visitors, will of course be shown’ b¥ ‘the librarian’s re- port. 7m i “Thus the building proves to be what its builders endeavered to make it—a good book itself, as well as a safe repository and preserver of good books. “The very beauty and dignity of the building seem to be in a large measure Its safeguards against wanton, or even ear: less mutilation or defacement, for it is truc that no instance of the sort whatever has occurred during nearly two years of visiting by many thousands of people. The few watchmen employed are indeed well organ- ized, competent and vigilant, and their presence is indispensable, but beyond this they rarely have to act to maintain orderiy behavior and respect for the cleanliness and integrity of the building. “The number of visitors to the building during the last eleven months was 546.8’ being an average of per day. The maximum for July cecurred on the sth during the conyention of the National § ¥, when 6.5¢ ed the building during the day and 1 during the evening from 8 to o'clock only—about 9.000 entering througn the main door alone in one hour. On the following day the day visitors num- 115, and in the evening 10,944. irnjture consists, as stated in cational Association in this cit persons Vis! hours w the nnual report, of the greater part of Ks, tables, chairs, carpets, etc., needed by the several departments of the library, including the principal reading rooms and offices, and also a part of th permanent caSes for the exhibition halls and the general fitting up for the copyright office. With the present additional appro- priation of $20,000 for the current fiscal year the remaining cases to complete the west exhibition hails and an outfit of spe- cial safe-cases required for the manuscript department have already been procured, and the furnishing of the periodical and newspaper, music and map and chart de- partments is being planned. “Steps in this direction are being taken slowly and cautiously to insure to these important departments the best permanent results under the new conditions peculiar to their proper establishment in the new building. A balance of $12,758.46 on the furniture account remains in hand, and this, with an estimated additional appro- priation of $15,000, should provide the re- maining furniture, partitions, etc., needed for all immediate purposes of the library. The Bronze Sculpture. “Of the pieces of bronze sculpture for the building, purchased under the appropria- tiens for and during the period of construc- tion, and still remaining unfinished in the hends of the artists and bronze manufac- turers at the time of the last annual re port. there now remain but two pieces, botn for the main rotunda, namely, the statue of Michael Angelo, for the gallery balustrade, and the small group to surmount the clock. The former has been finished in the model which is now being put in bronze in New York, and will probably be delivered within the next two months. The model of the clock group is not yet Snished, and ft is noi expected that the bronze will finally be de- livered for many months to come. ‘The south pair of bronze doors at the main entrance were put in place on Febru- ary 19, and the north group required te complete the fountain in the front ap- prcaches on February 2. Accordingly the sums of money, still unpaid are $5,000 for the bronze statue and $?.491 for the clock.” —— If you.want work read the want columns of The Star.
