DEATH OF PROMINENT MEN

The past week has been fstal
to several of the prominent men
of the race. The death of Carter
A Stewart. sr., was a surprise 10
the community as we'll as a sad
shock.
John A. Hyman, formerly a
member of Congress also passed
away.
Henry Coleman, the veteran
messenger of the Department of
Justice also died.
All these men have interesting
histories, all of whom have been
beneficial members of the race.

MIR. EDITOR.
lam sorry you published the
letter handed you by "One of the
mary Interested" before ascertain.
Ing The whole truth, because it
entirely misrepresents me.
Two years ago when the work in
my department made it necessary
for me to have an assistant, I
asked for one and obtained him
The only consideration SO far as
the selection Of the student was
concerned, was that of fitness for
the work which [ wished him to
do. Had I consulted my person
al wishes, | should have asked for
my nephew, Byron Fisher, or my
cousin, Stanton Wormley, both of
whom were eligibles; but in edu.
catlonal matters connected with
our people at the present stage of
our development, there should be
no consldera ion other than mer.
it.
l asked for Robert Harris, my
present. assistant, who is the son
of q poor widow, so poor that she
was forced to put him in an Or
phan asylum until he was able to
work for himself. l selected him
because he was the best fitted.
Now when the growth of the work
requires another assistant, | asked
for Percival Brooks because he is
without question the best qualified
for the work to be done, Indeed,
he possesses more talent for this
line Of work than any other boy
who has studied under me.
The writer of the article re.
ferred to it's mlsintormed when he |
states that DIR. Shadd gave two
medals because $50 very close
were young brooks and another |
boy that 1t was impossible to de-
eide which boy was the more de-
serving or proficient. The fact is |
this: the instrument which re-
ceived the prize awarded by DR..
shadd, Was made jointly by
Brooks and Newman, the other
boy; when DIR. Shadd learned this
fact he generously gave another
medal.
In both these cases I have never
consulted anybody, nor has any.
one consulted me Two wears
ago l wanted the very best avail
able student, and I want the very
best available student now. With
ne a boys parents have nothing
20 do with his merit or demerit:
1e stands or falls by what he him.
elf accomplishes.
Very respectfully,
HUGH NJ, BROWNE.

are called because they consist simply OF
tiers of shelves, nine stories of them,
each story being only 8 feet high, 80
that the attendants may reach the top
most shelves without using stepladders
These shelves will run toward the courts,
which are surfaced with ivory white
enameled bricks made in England, and
costing, without import duty, II cents
per brick. The light rejecting power Of
these bricks is very great, and it is ex-
pected the attendants will be able to
read the titles Of the books without ar
tifcial light even in the most remote
parts of the ''stacks."
Pneumatic tubes will convex orders
for books from the rotunda reading room
to the stacks, and the books will be sent
down by means Of slides leading from
the shelves to the Office in the rotJlnda.
Books will be returned to the stacks by
the same means.
These two huge tiers Of book shelves
are to have space for some three millions
Of books. Other parts Of the building
will accommodate 100000 more, and it
is calculated that provision has been
made for the library as it now is, 700, 900
volumes and 200, 900 pamphlets, and for
the natural and expected increase Of
10000 volumes year for more than a
century. If 100 years hence the National
library shall have grown to the NAM
moth proportions of 5000, 900 volumes
the greatest library in the world, the
National library at Paris, has now only
one-half that mum ber-another million
books can be accommodated by the erec-
ton of lesser stacks in the four courts,
and that, too, without interfering with
the harmony and beauty of the plan or
with the light. This library, therefore,
is built to meet all requirements which
may be made upon it for considerably
more than 100 years, probably for 125
years, and it is questionable if it need
ever be larger than it is.
There is, or ought to be, some limit to
the usefulness of library in the direc-
tiOn of its capacity. 1t is conceivable
that there are books which will not be
worth keeping, and besides, as Architect
Pelz points out, when the bulk becomes
so great it will no doubt be found desir-
able to specialize by dividing the collec-
ton INTO classes, such as scientific an
mex, an artistic annex and so on. AT any
rate, posterity may be trustee to work
out that problem for itself.
The library is certainly great enough.
No other library structure, built as such
in a compact mass, approaches it in size
or capacity. 1t is as large as the Capitol

itself in area of ground covered, though
not in floor space, for the Capitol, though
only four acres in extent, has no courts
within its walls. In addition to the
great book stacks, the new library will
have innumerable rooms for special
classes of works, consultation rooms, ad-
ministrative Offices, and a number Of
noble apartments and corridors for dis
play of the huge collection of engravings,
newspapers, maps, music and sketches
of value which are piled mountain high
in the present library, and inaccessible
to the general public.
Probably there will be an acre of such
space in the new building, while the
walls of the long corridors will be re-
splendent with examples of the graphic
arts.
The National library is built of granite
from Concord, N. H., and the contract
amounts to 81 100000. 1t is beautiful
blush gray stone with sparkle in it,
and when raised to its height of about
100 feet, with a front Of nearly 500 feet,
will make an exquisite wall of color
The enameled bricks are from Leeds.
England, because none of the right
quality are made in America; the iron
work is from New Jersey, and the COM
mon bricks, of which 25,000,000 will be
used, are from the District of Columbia.
The building is to cost, complete, &c.
100000. 1t will be finished in 1896. 1t is
to be fireprcof in every particular, moth
ing that will burn entering into its COM
position, and the boilers and heating ap-
paratus being in a separate building.
Gen. Casey, the distinguished engineer,
who won fame by putting the Washing
ton monument on stills while new
foundation was packed under it, is in
charge of the work, and pledges himself
not only to complete it in the time set,
but to turn over Il balance of the money
appropriated. He is assisted by Mr.. D.
Il. Green, an engineer and executive Of
ficer of marked genius, both aided by
the architect, who watches every brick
and stone go into the structure, which is
to be his monument.

which the architect has so deftly woven
in. The huge courts are shining with
their ivory white pressed brick, and Civ
ing taste Of the treatment which is to
make their corners massive and endur-
ing as the hills. The floor Of the great
rotunda is here, on which one may pict-
ure in his minds eye the students and
savants of the near future sitting at their
studies under the magnificent dome.
Only the basement is finished now,
but in its halls and corridors one may
wander for an hour, at every turn find
ing that which will amaze and delight
in the beauty of Gothic arches, the in
genuity of the vaulted ceilings, the long
perspectives, and in the suggestions of
future glories of marble finish.
This will be not only one of the great
est buildings in the world in size and
magniicence, but it will be the most
artistic large structure on this continent,
if not on the globe. Books will be writ
ten about it, portfolios will be filled with
drawings Of its beautiful parts, archi-
tects the world over will visit and study
it. Yet its artist, its creating genius, is
a modest young man, till recently un-
known in the world. and not long since
a draughtsman in the office of the super.
vis'ng architect of the treasury, Paul J.
Pelz.
1t is with pardonable pride that Mr..
Pelz turns over mass of drawings
which show how this idea was born,
how it was developed and perfected
The first complete designs provided for
magnificent building, and if the work
of evolution had stopped there all the
world would have admired the result
BUTT did not stop, and in the light Of
what has followed the earlier designs
seem crude indeed For once congress,
which usually economies in the wrong
place, decided in favor of the best, pro-
vided the money, put famous engineer
in charge, and in SO doing builded bet
ter than it knew.
This library building will be 40 feet
long and $40 feet wide, with basement,
three full stories and an attic. It covers
nearly four acres of ground, and is sur
rounded by park containing three
acres more. To provide this site score
of the Oldest houses in Washington were
torn down and several streets were va
Gated. 1t lies contiguous to Capitol
park, whence a broad driveway will lead
to the porte cochere under the main ap-
proach. Just within is to be the grand
staircase, which the designs show is to
excel in beauty all other staircases in the
world, even that in the Grand Opera
House, of Paris. 1t will be of white
marble, with quiet tones of onyx for en-
richment. Next, the visitor of the future
will find, is the great rotunda in the CEN
ter of the building.

principle, is to be the reading room, and

Even his antagonists, such as Mr.. Nc
Kinley and Mr.. Reed, greatly respect
and admire his sincerity and zeal. Mr..
Read once said of him:
"If Mills were in the place which, let
US hope, will never know him, and there
was tariff on birthstone, he would
never be satisfied till he had had that
tariff reduced, even if the increased inn
portatious to follow were sure to make
the atmosphere hotter and more sui
phurous in his immediate neighbor-
hood"

Concerning MIR. SPRINGER.

During the Fiftieth congress he pre-
sided over the great debate on the tariff
question. Though apparently nervous
and jerliy on the floor, in the chair
Springer becomes another man. He is
no longer the advocate, spirited and
partisan, but the grave judge, cool, i'm
passive, steady as clock He would
make a good speaker, and the red rose
which Mrs. Springer, the poetess, pins
upon his lapel every morning would look
well under the American flag that hangs
behind the chair.

streaming down from the dome over

One hundred feet in diameter, or five
feet larger than the rotunda of the Cap

and with accommodations for two or
