Then came another hitch. Vice-President
Hoxie out in St LOWS, would settle indi-
vidual difficulties with striking employees,
but he would have nothing to do in any
shape or form with an official committee of
the knights of Labor. He drew the line
there and was as granite in holding to it.
Meeting a committee of the K. of L. wasn't
his idea of ''arbitrating differences" And
when Mr.. Goulds famous letter of instruc-
tions to Mr. Hoxe came to be strictly looked
into l. was found to be no settlement of the
difficulty at all Mr. Hoxie was left free to
do just as he had been doing before, and he
has at no time since been informed by Mr..
Gould that the president of the road ''saw no

The strike was reopened, and then fol-

merits it is extremely difficult for either an
outsider or an insider to come to decision.
Powderiy and Gould mutually throw the
blame for the continuance of the strike upon
each other. What the outcome will be who

inquiry win, it is hoped, settle the difficulty.

HARRISBURG, April 20.-Such stories as
the recent revelations about soldiers orphans
homes in Pennsylvania may well make one
doubt whether the world is civilized. In
truth, it is not civilized, if the greed of people
is taken into account. Pennsylvania soldiers
and ex-soldiers have been going to their last
rest in the belief that their state had provided
ample means for the care and education Of
the children they left behind So the state
did, but the wretches to whose care they
have been intrusted have proved to be no
less than monsters in the avarice with which
they robbed the orphans.

THE PRESENT CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.
Not only have the shelves and tables of the
present library been fairly bursting with
books, but a number of dark unventilated
rooms in the basement of the Capitol have
been gorged as well, until the storage ca
pacity of the Capitol being exhausted, con-
gress was compelled to do something 1t is
to Senators VOORHEES,, of Indiana, and Nor
rill, of Vermont, as well as Representative
Singleton, of Mississippi, that the credit is
due in securing the long delayed legislation.
The present library has had a wonderful
history. twas founded by congress in 1902,
and 5000 books were selected in London for
it John Randolph was one of its strongest
supporters. When the British soldiers looted
the Capitol building in 1914 they used the
books from the library to kindle the fire
which destroyed the building About this
time Thomas jefferson had got into financial
straits. which compelled him to sell his very
valuable library of 1000 volumes. Congress
purchased them. These books, wrung by
poverty from poor old jefferson. We're the
nucleus of the new library @
The library was then in the room now occu-
pied by the clerk of the supreme court, but
in 1924 portion of its present quarters were
established. In 1851 the library numbered
about 60, 600 books, when it was again visited
by fire from defective hue, which destroyed
$4,000 of the books. In 1862 the present
quarters were built, with shelf room for less
than 500, 600 books, while the present col
lection considerably exceeds 500, 600. The
law library contains 10000 volumes and oc-
cupies the old chamber of the supreme court

We might in this country learn some
thing from the Chinese in this respect. In
China bad, vicious boy, whom the
teacher cannot control by appeals to his
better nature, is expelled from school and
is forever afterward deprived of the priv
ileges Of the public schools They base
this treatment of such q case upon the
idea that bad ignorant man is not SO
dangerous to the community as an edu-
Gated bad man, and there is good deal of
wisdom in the position. The knowledge
of the certain result of his depravity is a
far greater check upon such boy than

Over thirteen years ago, after years of
urging in the matter, congress allowed a COM
mission to be appointed to consider plans for
a new library. A report of the labors of
this commission and the various other COM
mittees selected in the matter later, together
with the bills introduced from time to time,
would fill a good sized library. Senator
Voorhees, says that never in the history Of
legislation has measure been SO thoroughly
weighed and considered in every detail, and
herewith We present the result in the illus

he was favored with. Approaching the

Human Swine at Washington Rec,

One of the subjects of conversation in
\ the city is how much the men eat at the
receptions. Washington seems to be full
of semi-political dudes who stamp around
to the receptions in each others company.
Their mailed tread is heard in the hall
They salute the mistress and form a
deadly phalanx around the wine table.
They eat all the good cheese first, and then
they eat all the green cheese and wind up
on therind. The diplomatic hangers on are
said to have appetites of an all-devouring
sort. They have been known for years
as self-exalted chewers> of the cud, not
being furnished by the home government
with herrings, caviare, macaroni or any
thing solid. So they eat like locusts at
the lunch table. But nobody can under
stand how the hunger has come upon the
rest of the world which seems to have
oyershadowed it this winter, so that, like
the children of Israel in the wilderness,
they gather mamma, locusts. wild honey,
dried apples or anything that will fill the
carcass. .-"Gath" in Cincinnati Enquirer.

Tanning Horses I'm New Zealand.

AS everybody knows, Mr.. Rarey's sys
tenn of tanning vicious horses consisted
mainly in throwing them down ON the
ground and keeping them there by means
of straps The New Zealanders have
much simpler and effective method.
They simply decoy wild horse into
swamp until his legs are securely i'm
bedded in it. Then they proceed to
"gentle" him. Well may the author say:
"Rarey's plan is nothing to this. There
were no legs swinging about to hurt any
one; the colt could not batter his head OH
the ground; the very babies could jump o.,
his back with perfect safety, and they are
not slow to avail thc.'iselees of the oppor
tunity." "The women sat on him, the nell
got astride him, and then put little J. q
under his tail" "The women shook t.e
dresses in his face" Best of all, when the
horse was dug out he was quite tame.
