THE NEwBERRY LIBRARY.

tate for the founding of public library
to be located in tho north division of
Chicago, and more recently Mr.. Crerar
bequeathed goodly portion of his
wealth for the establishment of SINH
lar institution in tho south division.
The city Of Chicago has public library
second to but few in the country, and it
is source of great pride to the H.
brarian and western people in general
that the circulating branch Of this mu-
nicipal enterprise enjoys a larger popu-
larity than any similar institution in
the United States. The new Chicago
university has, as everybody knows, re.
Gently purchased CHOICE collection of
books, pamphlets and manuscripts in
Berlin; and the Northwestern universi-
ty at Evanston, a suburb of Chicago,
has for many years been gathering the
nucleus for college library which, in
time, under the able direction of some
OF the foremost American bibliophiles,
promises to be the rarest and most COM
plete on the continent.
The Newberry library, to which ref
erence has been made, will, when COM
pleted, be the most perfect library build
ing in existence. When Mr.. Newberry
died twenty-four years ago, he provided
for the erection of suitable building
and the purchase of books but his will
was so worded that the trustees could
not spend any money until after the
death of his widow, which occurred late
in 1885. Since that time some books have
been purchased-s5,0 900 books and 45, 900
pamphlets at an estimated expense of
$242, ,000-but very little has been done to
push the library building to completion.
The newspapers Of the city have lately
agitated the matter, and the trustees
appointed under the will have at last
shown willingness to comply with
the wishes of the public. which, it is
hardly necessary to say, clamors for the
rapid completion of the building.
Work on one of the sections Of
the library is carried on as rapid
ly as the nature of the massive con-
struction will permit. This section,
which was planned by Henry Ives
Cobb, will, when completed, be four
stories in height with frontage of 800

avenue rs feet. The material to be en-
ployed is rough-faced red New Hamp-
shire granite. The front of the library
will be severely plain, the only orna-
mental feature being triple-arched
front arch. Above the arches the stone
will be mass of delicate carving.
The interior arrangement will be as
near perfect as possible. The base
ment will be devoted to book-binding,
the machinery, boilers, engine, lumber
rooms and the bedrooms of the janitor
and his assistants. The first floor will
contain an auditorium with seating
capacity of 600, two large administra-
tlon rooms, museum and Offices.
The second and third floors will be
given up to fourteen large reading
rooms and fourteen small studies,
which are to be lighted by large plate
glass windows and will occupy about
$1,000 square feet of floor space. The

HE PROTESTED.

A Tenderfoot That Had No Idea of Diving
- The bad man of the town had been
bulldozing all the customers in the
Gray Gulch saloon, and finally he rolled
across the room and resting both hands
on the counter he fixed his terrible eve
on the tenderfoot who had just arrived
that day to fill the position of drink dis
penser in waiting to the sovereign peo.
pie.
"Say, young feller," he growled, do
ger want ter die?"
II beg your pardon?" said the young
man, with the manners of a Delmoni-
co bar-ister
"You don't have ter" snarled the
rough, still holding on to the counter
81 don't do the pard'nin'; does the
KILN. What want to know is, do
you want ter die?"
'No. I don't, and I won't either"
snapped the young fellow, sticking a
"a" revolver into the questioner's face,
unless you can pull gun with your
teeth, for if you move your hands off
that counter before say you can I'll
fill you so full of lead that the coroner
will think he has struck a Galena de-
posit that will boom the town out of
sight. See?"
The bad man held on to the counter
till the tenderfoot made every customer
in the place come forward and kick him
awhile for luck, then he bounced him
out and resumed business. Detroit

idea thata congressional funeral is a
Junketing trip en- the part of the COM
mittee which accompanies the remains
to their last resting place. 1t has been
asserted that the special car of the con-
gressional committee is stocked with
wines and liquors of all kinds, cigars,
pipes and tobacco, and that the mem
bers of the committee spend their time
upon the funeral train not only III
smoking, drinking, carousing and story
telling, but in playing poker and other
games for money, thus converting the
funeral train into travelling saloon
and gambling den.
II have had charge Of great many
congressional funerals" says Mr..
Thomas Cavanaugh. late deputy SER
geant-at-arms of the house. 81 at
tended the funerals of Speaker Kerr,
Sam Randall, Sunset Cox, Gen. Spinola
and others; and upon no occasion have
l witnessed any such scenes as are
currently described by vapid writer's.
Every congressional committee that I
have known has been composed of hon
orable, upright gentlemen, as proud of
their own regulations as men can be,
and as respectful to the deceased as
they could well be towards members of
their own families. There is absolutely
no truth whatever in the statement that
congressional funerals are iunletino
trips. They are exactly what congress
intends they shall be, respectable and
respectful funerals
Zone peculiar fact, concerning which
have never seen anything in print and
OF which believe the public knows
nothing" continued Mr.. Cavanaugh,
lis that members of congress do not
hke to serve upon these congressional
funeral committees. 1t is a matter of
no little anxiety and trouble to the
speaker upon the occasion of the death
OF any member Of the house to secure
committee to accompany the deceased
to his home. If this aversion to service
upon such committees were to oc-
cur in any other body of men
| should regard it as superstition. OF
course it is nothing of the kind, so far
as the statesmen are concerned. But it
is a singular fact that oftenti,nes when
the committees are ready to be an
nounced, gentlemen go to the speaker
and beg that their names may be omitted
from the list. This necessitates changes
in the designations sometimes at the
very last moment and causes no little
annoyance to the sergeant-at- arms at
the same time. When mem bers are alb

MARRYING TITLES.
It Is a Risky Business as Well MS an Ex.
pensive One.

pensive One.
If an American widow or maid
chooses to take her millions and Law
them down on foreign soil in exchange
for title, there surely should be no
objection to her doing SO. If this is the
free country which it claims to be, any
interference with liberty and the
pursuit Of happiness is clearly uncon-
stitutional. of course, there is great
risk to run. American girls are not
brought up in foreign ways, and alli-
nnces of this sort are almost always
inharmonious; but that is or should be
so well understood, that it is part of
the contract and natural consequence
OF such an arrangement. Therefore, if
my lady finds herself black and blue
from the too. too material chidings of
her lord and master, let her not be
rebellious, but accept stripes as part
OF her bargain. AS she has sold herself
for title, let her title console her in
her trials.
While there are, possibly, some happy
and harmonious relations between
American girls and titled foreigners,
the number is very small as compared
with those that turn out disastriously
to the woman in the case.
Especially is this true of marriages
with titled Frenchmen and Italians.
Ihe constitution of society in those
countries is so unlike ours and the
position OF women differs so greatly
from that to which American women
nre accustomed, that half lifetime is
not too long to learn to adjust oneself
to such changed conditions.
In defense of the women, it is said
that those who marry titled foreigners
have live abroad long enough TO be.
come acquainted with foreign ways
and foreign men. But this is
scarcely possible unless they have
lived in those countries and been
part and parcel of the family life,
and even then it is difficult to learn the
undercurrents of society so diamet.
rically opposite to ours in many par
ticulars.
IT happiness is the object in life, as it
seems to be to many persons, then it
should be sought where individual fancy
directs. What is the highest happiness
TO some is the greatest misery to others.
Therefore it may be said that if the
American girl finds title IN the bright
est day-dreams of her life, let her buy
it If she has the money to do so. But
having done this, and taken with the
title the various peculiarities and ecccn-
tricities of the foreign nobleman, let
her seek consolation in the fact that
she has got what she paid for, and
should take the consequences ''like q

matters of minor import. Sometimes

instances where as many as sixty were
required. After the scrgeant-at-arms
has made his plans, he gives an order to

to perform his part precisely as in the
case of private individual. The fune-
raj may take place from the city resi-.
dence OF the deceased, or, if it is desired
by the family or friends, the funeral
arrangements may be made and obsc-
quies be held from the capitol. A coffin
which is made of polished red cedar
and officially known as q state cas-
ket' is generally ordered by tho SER
geant-at-arms. This coffin is covered
with black cloths and has mountings,
plate and bundles OF silver, with bov-

now, as II used to be, to order iron,
steel or copper caskets in which to en-
close the state caslset;' but orders for
the additional metallic casket are some
times given at the present time. No
funeral could be more simple than a
congressional funeral in this city, for
at the conclusion of the services either
at the capitol or at the residence the
body is unostentatiously escorted to the
railway station and put aboard n special
train. on which it is conveyed to the
former home of the deceased. There
are usually three cars in this special
train; one for the deceased, one for the
family and another one for the commit
tee in charge"
The duties of the committee are very
simple. Although they have general
authority and supervision over all ar
rangements for the funeral, they usual
ly carry out the plans which have been
made by the scrgeant-at-arms, unless
something extraordinary or of an un-
usual nature occurs, when the commit
tee will have authority to make neces-
sary changes in the programme. Their
duty is mainly to be present at the
funeral, to represent both houses of
congress in order that proper respect
may be shown to the memory of the de-
ceased in the presence of his relatives
and personal friends. When the dis
tance to be travelled is great the ex-
pcnses are in proportion, and that is the
reason why the cost of congressional
funerals varies so much. The bills are
always paid by the sergeant-at-arms,
after the passage of a resolution in each
case. authorizing him to pay such ex-
pcnses out of the contingent fund of
the house or senate.

MOB LAW ARRAIGNRD.
Comment Upon Just CO Bleckley's Ad-
dress Before the Bar Association.
From the Nets York Post

From the Neto York Post.
The address lately delivered before the
bar association of Georgia by Chief Justice
Bleckley of THAI state, is one of the most
complete arrangements of mobs ever made.
Following close upon the proclamation of
Gov. Northern. it may help to check the
lawlessness which has of late been so rife in
Georgia and In neig Aborlng states. Chief
Justice Bleckley declares that mobs would
not exist If we could silence their deIuded
advocates and apologists. He especially
deplored the tone of those newspapers
which confound the mob with the, people,
and treat some, if not all instances of mob
violence as cases in which the people act in
their own behalf and take justic1 in their
own hands. He maintains that mobs are
not the people; that they who compose them
are for the time seceders from organized
society VINO outrage its fundamental prin-
pies and trample on its institutions He
even contends that if all the people should
perpetrate an act Of violence on the worst
of criminals, the case would not be one in
which the people had taken justice in their
own hands, but one IN which, in violation
of their own law, they had inflicted injus-
tice in the name Of justice. I'm such mat
ers," he added, 1.-THE people cannot act
otherwise than through their legitimate
agents. BY appointing these agents and
committing all punative power into their
hands, to be exercised in tho name Of the
people and for the good of the people, the
people renounce completely and forever all
right and all power to transact such bust
ness In person or by means OF their own
direct Intervention" This language is not
too strong. The chief justice asked what
newspaper would speak with appreciation
of the people assembling in a mass
and making lawsl Why, then, should
mob agency in the administration
of laws be countenanceda By Interfering In
the first instance. or by reviewing the
verdict, as in the New Orleans case, they
make the jury system contemptibls. AS
Chief Justice Bleckley well says, ANY
thing which assumes to be better and tends
to make itself bigger than the jury is out
of place where trial by jury is an institu-
tion of the country and forms the chief
bulwark for the security of person and
property. Society works by and through
established institutions, and can work
wisely and safely in no other way. To
weaken or discredit these institutions is to
enfeeble government and bring authority
into contempt"
