1se. Mr.. Spetford, the Librarian. is a re-
markable man, possessing an eXtTaOr-
binary knowledge Of books, as well as the
faculty Of carrying this whole mass in
his head. so to speak, otherw wise little use
could have been made of them. When
any member Of Congress want a book, or
wants TO know anything about a book, he
sends to %SpOffOrd, and the information is
promptly furnished. Probably there is no
man in America who knows so much
about the character, contents and alu
Of the book literature of the world as
AinswOrth Il. SpOtfOrd. Certainly there
is not another man who could handle the
great library under his charge to such
advantage. under the same disadvanta-
geous circumstances. Gen. Garfield was
a great friend and admirer OF SpofOrd,
often consulting him concerning pur-
ghases OF books, and all the bOOk-worms
Of the capital do the same, more or less.
Mr.. SpOtfOrd was a very happy man when
the bill for the new building passed the
House last week. 1t is understood that
he has expended much care and labor
upon the plans for the interior of the
structure, all OF which have been adopted.
The Library of Congress, as il is named,
started from a foundation of small begin
ninPs. At the first session OF the Sixth
Federal Congress, at Philadelphia, when
the act was passed providing for the re-
jngtOn, section five OF that act arnropri-
ated % 600 to purchase books M d fit up a
suitable apartment Ia which TO keep them

every printed page, in book or pamphlet,
bearing on the subject, which has come
from the American, English, French and
German presses for over a century-pages
dim with age or bright and fresh from the
publishers hands-the collections in an
Gent and rare historical works, and in
books and pamphlets pertaining to the
history OF States, counties and towns.
Among the very rare works are
two great volumes written on vellum,
issued in the thirteenth century, acopy of
Eliot's Indian Bible, and the various
works written by Cotton and Increase
Mather. The departments of miscellane-
Gus literature are very full also. Many
an old novel forgotten long ago; many a
poem, song or play, dead and buried for
two or three score Of years, can be eX-
humed from this vast literary catacOmb.
The ann has been to collect everything
published in the United States that could
be obtained, and as much of foreign liter
ature as possible. Only members of Con-
gress and about forty high officials have
the right to take books away from the
library, but many residents OF Washing
ton have no difficulty in obtaining any
book they want, to take TO their homes,
through orders from some accommodate
ing Congressman or Senator with
whom they happen to be acquainted. All
persons over Is years OF age nave the priyi-
lege of freely using the books inside the
halls, and every day the rooms are filled
with readers, many OF whom come from
various sections OF the country to avail
themselves of the use OF these literary
stores in their resources upon different
subjects. This library, gathered prima-
rlly for the use OF the legislative and
judicial branches Of the government, has
now grown so entirely beyond the wants
OF Congress that its use and benefits
should not be confined within the original
limits. When the new building Is erected
an effort will be made TO have il omen
every day and every evening Of the week
as a free public library.
There is little doubt that the Pre- sideuf
will sign the House bill, and that WORK

ered-The Proposed New Building.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-Both Houses
OF Congress having at last passed a bin
providing for the erection Off new build
ing for the Congressional Library, there
Is reason to believe that this m-uca-needed
structure VIII some day materialize. For
years the condition Of this library has
been a disgrace. the lack Of room for ar
ranging the books rendering many OF
them entirely inaccessible aud useless.
It's the most important and valuable
library on the continent, and the only
Incorporating completeness IN certain
important features. AT the beginning OF
the preseut year it contained, in round
numbers, 55l.OO0 books and 100000 PAM
phlets. A great part OF this vast collec-
tion is stored away in boxes. in cellars
and lofts. and piled up wherever space
could he found, because there has been no
shelf room. nor even floor room, in the
apartments Of the Capitol devoted TO its

stroyed by fire. Congress then took the
matter seriously Ia band. and in 1892 az
prOpriated $12,J00 for repairing the lib
rary aud $4,000 for the purchase
Of new books. The letter Of Mr.. Jeffer-
son, conveying 10 Congress the offer
10 sell his library, contained the follow
ing characteristic paragraph, copied YER

named by themselves, and the payment
made convenient 10 the public; 10 may be,
for instance, in such annual installments
as the laws Of Congress has left az their

for the use Of both Houses OF Congress.
Among the members OF the Senate Com
mlttee assigned to the duty of carrying
this provision into effect was James A.
Bayard, OF Delaware, grandfather Of the
present Secretary OF State. Two years
later Congress provided for a Librarian at
81 per day when actually employed. For
several years following the expenses of
the library must have been very small,
rs in the year 1896 the sum Of $3.50 COM
prised the appropriation for that pur-
pose, and for the hve succeeding years
$1,000 was appropriated annually. At
the end of fourteen years the whole num-
Der OF books accumulated was 5000. On
the evening OF Aug. "a, 1874, when the
British, under Gen. Ross, entered Wash
lngt0n n burned the public buildings,
including the Capitol, the library was de-
stroYed. From that time the Congress
sional Library ceased to exist, until
January of the following year. when
Congress purchased for S23,9 $50, the lib
rary OF President Jefferson, containing
9, 200 volumes. For thirty-six years after
this the library continued to Increase IN
