have some idea Of what great libraries
are, it is hardly necessary to indicate
how narrow this limit is. In our
judgment excellent USE has been
made Of such opportunity as the case
afforded. The books that have been
chosen appear to us well chosen, and
applying all the tests we can in a
hasty way we do not find more sins
OF omission than we should reason
ably expect.
We wish we could say as much for
tho foreign collections, but we cannot
do SO. Small as they are, they are
inexcusably shallow, and in the case
Of the French list emphatically in
discreet. Perhaps, indeed the Ger
man list might pass; but on no
ground can the French one. 1t lacks
almost everything it should have and
shows far too many titles which
should by no means figure ia it. We
hear tho French shelves are being ex~
purgated. They certainly need the
process When they are to be replen-
ished, the Librarian will do well to
consult some authority on French
literature before he permits the re-
currence of the original blunders.
In conclusion, we are happy to offer
our congratulations to the trainers Of
the Catalogue and to the manage
ment generally. 1t seems to us to
bear strong testimony in favor Of
their services. We are glad to say SO,
for in every detail Of its history we
wish this splendid and benehcent
public institution prosperity and
success.

Opening of the opera House.


Mr.. Mullone says the New Opera
House is the PROTEST theatre in the
State and popular opinion win sup
port his statement when the doors of
the new theatre are thrown open to-
morrow night for the first time to the
public. The inaugural night promises
to be gala occasion. Governor Alb
bett and family will occupy one of
the stage boxes. and the best people
of the city will fill the house. Nearly
every seat in the orchestra and bal
cony have been sold. The last finish
ing touches to the house were being
made yesterday, and everything will
be spick and span tomorrow night. If
the people OF this city do not take
genuine pride in this beautiful theatre,
with its flood of light and brilliant
decorations, they are hard to please
The opening play is worthy the
house, for in many minds The Hem
rietta" is the best American comedy
ever written. Stuart Robson's inter-
probation of BERTHE the Lamb will al
ways be spoken of as an event in the
history OF the American stage. Rob
son has had many imitators, but no
one has ever succeeded in being so de-
lightfully idiotic as he. Altogether
the opening of the New Opera
House promises to be most
delightful event to those who will
participate.

t'Aii the Comforts OF Homo" at Home.
IAN the Comforts of Home" will be
obtainable right at our doors tomor-
rownight, for Charles Frohman's com
pany Of comedians will present that
very Imaginable comedy at the Acad-
envy of Music. "All the Comforts of
Homen opened at Proctor's Theatre in
New York last season aud made an
instantaneous hit. 1t ran until .'AIr.
Wilkinson's Widows made them
selves obstreperous, because they said
they had a prior contract to show
themselves to New York public, and
then All the Comforts Of Homep
were banished to make room for these
deluded women. But just little
while after Hermann's Theatre became
vacant and All the Comforts of
Home, brought back and put on its
stage, kent the theatre full OF laugh
ing people for the balance OF the sea-
son, thereby rescuing the professor of
ghosts and cards from Bankruptcy
and filing Mr.. Frohman's pockets full
of money. Mr.. Frohman's word that
the company this season is good is
sufficient, for that gentleman seems
to have the faculty of surrounding
himself with the cleverest people in
the profession. Probably because he
pays them the most money IAN the
Comforts of Home is bright, jolly
and full of laughs. If you haven't all
the comforts at home, you may learn
to laugh at some of them by visiting
the Academy OF Music next week.

the triinmen. Hon. Il. :. Coffin, Iowa, arrived
last night TO advocate the necessity of auto
matte couplerS for cars and Sunday rest for
railway employees. SO far as the switch

the convention will sustain the action of the
grand master. The latter part of the week

woman railroad engineer in the world,
and West Virginia has the honor of hav-
ing produced her. She is good looking
well educated, twenty-three years old and
blue gray eyed blond. She is the daugh
ter Of Charles II. Hewitt, one of the chief
owners of the short line which connects
with the Baltimore and Ohio railway at
Cairo, w. Va. During her schoolgirl days
she passed most of her leisure time in the
railway shops near her fathers residence
and not only grew familiar with every de-
tail of an engine, but became very much
interested in the work.
After graduating from the high school
her favorite amusement was to ride in the
cab, and when one day the engineer was
sick she managed the train, and did it so
well that she was soon given regular run.
1t is a narrow gauge road, and one of the
pretUiest sights on it, they say, is Miss Ida,
with natty engineers cap and neat fit
ting suit of blue wooden, as she sits in the
little cab.

The Now England "Hired Man

The hired man" on a New England
farm occupies a unique position. and in
many ways is privileged character. As =
usual thing he is regarded, not as serv-
ant, but almost as mem Der of the house
hold. There are New England farmers
worth hundreds of thousands of dollars
who never sit down to . meal that they do
not have their field hands at their elbow
In the ordinary household intercourse the
workmen OF the farm are treated not as
menials. not as interiors, but almost, if not
quite, as equals. They are on terms of
comradeship with the other members of
the household, young and old. and they
have their recognized place in ordinary
family gatherings.-Boston journal

The cabin stands on the verge of a cliff,
and to it the owner never admitted any
one. He got the name Of Santa Claus
years ago because Of his love for children.
He worked as stevedore, and with his
savings bought circus and fair tickets for
the little ones, and various presents-balls
and bats for the boys, and dolls for the
girls. Whenever one of his favorites fell
i'll he kept the sick room beautiful with
fresh flowers. One Sunday morning the
children failed to see him and told their
parents, who broke down the gate to the
high fence, forced the door and discovered
poor Santa Claus seated in rocking chair
dead, with half filled cup of water in his
hand. Then everybody made frantic
but futile rush to find the old mans gold.

Nevspapers Re,pousib,e for Sedan.

The newspaper correspondent was re
garded with little favor by commanders
on both sides during the civil war, and
that he is not popular abroad is shown by
a recent remark of the French General
Schmitz, who says: IF war breaks out
tomorrow the first measure would be the
proclamation of the state of siege, and the
order that newspapers should say nothing
of military undertakings. Offending edi
tors would be treated as traitors. The
newspapers, and they alone, gave Count
Won Moltke at the end of August, 1916, in
formation of the departure of MacMahon's
army for Sedan"

The Human Ear.

The human ear is an organ the true in
wardness of which the physicians have
never been able to get at. They can ex
anime the interior of the eye with ease by
throwing into its dark chamber ray of
light reflected from little mirror, and or
late they have found it possible even to see
the gray matter of the brain by looking
through the little canal by which the optic
nerve enters. The cavity behind the nose
they inspect with the aid of light placed
far back in the mouth.
They have no difficulty in seeing into the
stomach by an electric apparatus; the in
testines likewise are readily enough inves-
tigated, and the bladder also. But the ear,
as to its internal arrangements, is unap-
proachable. 1t is impossible to dissect it
satisfactorily after death, for the reason
that the parts collapse at once when the
vital spark leaves the body.-EXchange

A Monument and Sepulcher for Columbus.


Last February. by royal order. the gov
eminent of Spain invited the artists Of
that kingdom to compete for the honor of
erecting sepulcher for the remains Of
Columbus. in the nave of the cathedral at
Havana, and also for the erection Of a
monument properly COMMUNICATING the
discovery of America in the Central park
of the same city. For the sepulcher the
sum of $4,000 was appropriated, and $780,
600 for the monument, with the additional
sum Of $500 as prize for the author of the
plan second in merit. The designs were
submitted to the Royal academy, of San
Fernando Spain, which has awarded the
contract for the sepulcher to Don Antonio
Melida, and that for the monument to An
tonic Susillo. The second prize of $500 is
given to Antonio Alsinx for his design for
the sepulcher. 1t is announced that the
work will commence at once.

OF new forms OF taxation. which will be required
TO meet its present extra:agant expenditures.
When money on call falls 70 one-haf per cent.
or even to one and 4 half per cent per anuum.
this rate of taxation will cause Eastern banks
10 deposit lawful money at Washington for the
element of elasticity to the general circuatioll
Experience may prove that this tax can be
still further increased, adding to the income OF
the treasury and giving Stll, greater heXlDlllty
10 the Tolune OF paper money.
T. The present United States tax
upon the circulating notes of state banks
shall cease, provided such notes are secured
i'll precisely the same manner as national
bank notes by bonds deposited with the
auditor or treasurer of the state: and pro-
vided, also, that the state in which said
bank is located shall guarantee the pay
ment of its circulating notes. State banks
shall pay the same lakes on their notes ami
in the same manner as national banks.
This would. in every state where there was
demand for it. restore state banking to Its old
condition OF usefulness. and would silence the
now wel-founded charge that national panhS

ilege-that Of issuing circulating notes
s. The amount of the notes issued by any
state bank shall be under the control of the
state in which it Is located. and nothing Ill

OF any state bank to 80 per cent of the capt

The Deadly Pilgrimage to Mecca.

An Indian journal says that of all the
pilgrims leaving Bombay for Mecca and
Medina more than third never return.
Out of "a ,63s pilgrims who left in the six
years ending 1890. 90 o. 49 were missing. In
1883, of 1890 who started, 1866 did not re-
turn The vast proportion of those miss
ing owe their deaths to epidemics, starva-
ton, and, it is said, murder, between Jed
dab and Mecca. 1t is said, we know not
with what truth, that gangs of budmashes
travel regularly by the pilgrim steamers so
as to select as their victims such pilgrims
as betray the possession of means while on
the voyage.
On the return voyage the deaths range
from 200 to nearly 400 per 600 per annum.
This is due to privation before leaving Jed
dab, to overcrowding and sickness on
board, to insanitary ships and want Of
supervision, and to the age and infrmity
of many of the pilgrims. The voyage to
Jeddah is long. and the allowance of space
between decks is 9 superficial feet per
adult, or by "a feet, so that if each pill
grim lay down and the deck were free from
baggage there would be just room and no
more for the passengers
The health officer Of Bombay, in his re-
port for 1890. describes the voyage of the
pilgrim ship Ocean, ON which cholera ap-
peared on the eighth day out from Bom-
bay Disease and starvation decimated
the passengers-ll3 persisted in eighty-five
days; and Of l,246 passengers who set out
on the voyage only LIB returned.
The appearance Of the survivors when
the vessel arrived at Bombay was heart
rending. The physically strong had be-
come feeble. and the passengers were with
comparatively few exceptions. emaciated,
fever stricken. scorbutic and dropsical;
and the suiferings they had undergone at
Camaran were clearly and unmistakably
depicted on their bodies-Toronto Globe.

THE DEATH OF SANTA CLAUS.

It Was Followed by a Ffercs Rush TO
Find His Hoard.
Frank Gallego, better known as Old
Santa Claus. died recently at his solitary
shanty on Telegraph hill, San Francisco,
and since then the people of the neighbor-
hood have been hunting for his buried
treasure. Somehow the story got abroad
that Gallego died wealthy and that . rich
hoard lay concealed somewhere in the
sand about his cabin. So far, however,
nothing has been found
