Early Records of Congress.

VALUABLE DOCUMENTS WHICH SHOULD BE
PLACED IN THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.
A Hartford dispatch to the New York Times
says that Mr.. Charles ]. Hoadly, the state
librarian in the capitol there, is the only per-
son in the United States. SO far as known, who
owns copies Of the Weekly Journal issued by
the Continental Congress in 1779. few
copies, some of them duplicating Mr.. Hoadly's,
are preserved in the New York state library.
The numbers owned by the Connecticut state
librarian extend from April "a to July 5. The
pages in several numbers of the Journal have
not been cut. The numbers owned by the
New York state library, issued during the
period in question, are May / and 10, May "A
and 81, and June Z. The New York library also
possesses three numbers, February 1, March
l and 81, not owned by Mr.. Hoadly. All the
numbers were printed by David c. Claypool
They contain more complete record Of the
proceedings of Congress than is to be found in
the annual volumes. In fact the records are
very complete, and contain great deal of val
liable historic information. Mr.. Hoadly has
been urged to place his copies in the possess
sion of the national library at Washington.

Got Mixed as to the Funeral.


Two young ladies residing on the North
Side started out the other day to attend the
funeral OF one of the prominent pillars Of
their church. The two young ladies were
sisters. One was very devout, and sat every
Sunday in the family pew. The other went
ENTHUSIASTICALLY to witness the new bonnets
The deyout sister called upon the indifferent
one and asked her to go with her to the funeral
OF the deacon. At first she refused, but il was
urged that he had been pillar Of the church.
and 1t was really her duty TO pay her best re-
spects, and finally she consented 10 go, but
with an i'll grace. They started out to-
gether, and when they reached the deacon's
late residence they were surprised TO see
no Grape upon the door and no signs Of
hearse or carriages anywhere about. The
Indifferent sister asked the devout one il she
was sure he was dead, and she replied that she
was quite positive, she had read the funeral
notice in the paper. Ii was suggested that
they walk up to the house of a lady member of
the church, who lived near by, and find out
about 1t. They did so. Isn't Deacon
dead!" asked the devout sister, as the lady en-
tered the parlor. Yes, poor man, be is dead,
and he was buried yesterday" was the reply
The devout sister said she did not see how she
could have made such a mistake in reading the
notice. When they got outside the indifferent
sister turned and said: well, I've done nv
duty to the pillar of the church. hope. Next
time one dies hope you'll get the date right"

in the county clerks Office this morning, as she
leaned her elbows on her desk and rested her
fair head on her hands, Il wish some more
divorce cases would be filed"
A reporter who was present inquired the rec

she replied with a charming smile. Every
divorce case means nice, crisp, emerald hued

Haven't there been many divorces lately?"
why, we haven't had one in nearly three
weeks. she exclaimed. marveling ct the won

married people in Toledo, land there seems no
prospect for more"
What reason do you assign as the cause Of
this stagnation in the divorce courts?''
20, I'm sure don't know. guess married
people must have been more congenial TO each
other during the last few weeks, and during
the month ending to-day" she concluded, in
the language Of her monthly reports Of legal
transactions, marriage has been anything bus

of importance, but all Is to be summed up at
the eleventh hour. Thousands Of our young
men have thus learned TO take their
chances when they came in contact with the
world; nor is 1t surprising, inasmuch as their
whole education had tended to impress them
that such is life. Hundreds of children in our
country every day have no idea of the true
value of an education.
Their idea of it is to get per cent in exam
nation. II given their choice in knowing
much, and ranking low in their class. or know
ing little and ranking high, they would unhes-
itatingly choose the latter.
Oh! the lying, copying, cuff-defacing that
has been done at these annual, to-decide-all
farcical examinations. do not underrate the
valve of the written examination when sup
plementing il with the current work of the
school, and used in the same spirit, and with
equal common sense as the oral test"
THEY CALL UPON THE PRESIDENT.
At IL o'clock a recess was taken to enable the
members Of the department to call upon the
President. In response to an invitation from
Mr.. and Mrs. Cabell after leaving the White
House the members were entertained at their
residence, 1407 Massachusetts, avenue.
The Afternoon Session.
At the afternoon session an interesting paper
was read by President Campbell ON .sThe State
and Higher Education"
He defined the word commonwealth to
mean not the common riches or money, but
the common well being, that soundness or
health Of community which necessarily is
COMMON to all, because every mans well being
in the highest sense is a contribution to an es-
sential condition Of the well being of all Public
virtue then, and public intelligence consti-
tutes the true commonwealth, and these can
be attained In but one way, by the attainment
in every individual member Of the community
Of personal virtue and personal intelligence.
THE AUTHORITY or TEE STATE
TO provide for education was discussed He
defined higher education to mean mot any par
ticular study or set Of studies, NOT any particu-
lar method, or plan or grade Of instruction.

unclouded. Mrs. Cunning supplied her hus-
band with all the money he could spend.
They lived happily together, a child was
born to them, and to guest their heme ap-
peared model one. Cummings extrayagant
expenditures soon exhausted all Mrs. Gum

and when she refused to sell this he sought
to compel her by threats, and afterward by
blows. Only the interference of servant

Cunning finally succeeded in obtaining the
last dollar his wife had. Then he ran away.

THE YACHTS
All Records Beaten In the Run from
Newport.

COTTAGE CITY, Mass, August 10.-The
race of the New York yacht squadron from
Newport today was accomplished in heavy
sea and strong southwesterly winds. The
preparation gun was fired by the Electra off
Brenton's Reef light ship at 1923, and ten
minutes later the starting gun. The Clara
was first across, the Cinderella second. The
Harbinger led the schooners of her class.
Thirteen started The Maraquita passed the
line behind the class. The Palmer, Fortuna,
Fredonia and Sea Fox were first of the large
schooners, the Bedouin first of the sloops.
1t was schooner day, and the run was
highly interesting. The Constellation passed
the Sow and Pigs first, with the Sea Fox
second and the Fortuna third At the en-
trance to Vineyard sound the most of the
yachts set spinnakers.
Just off Gay Head the Constellation led
the fleet with the Clara still ahead in her
class At 2.20 the Electra came to anchor off
West Chop, and at 2.34 the Constellation
crossed the line. the Sea Fox close after, the
Quickstep Sd. The Titania was second, an
other handsome victory over the Katrina
The run was one of the fastest in the club s
history. The CONSULTATIONS run of 81 miles
in 3h. 3lm. los. beats all previous records.
The following is the corrected time:
