UNCLE SANS NEW LIBRARY.
The Most Perfect Structure Of Its Kind In
the World.

The Most Perfect Structure Of Its Kind In
the World.
No such library as this new one Of
Uncle Sans was ever planned before.
You must imagine, to begin with, two
iron bookcases, each 65 feet high, 112
feet long and 45 feet wide. They tower
up through the building story on story
in nine tiers. Each bookcase will hold
800, 900 volumes. The metal framework
is made gridiron fashion to permit the
free passage Of the atmosphere, for
books need fresh air as much as human
beings, else they rot. The floors are
sheets Of iron, and fire could do no dam
age worth mentioning, for books will
not burn. They will only smolder under
favorable circumstances.
The library has 1900 windows.
Those which admit light to the great
book stacks above described are single
sheets of fine plate glass. Looking from
tho interior c~ourtyards, the walls in
closing the book stacks appear to be al
most wholly Of glass. Thus the title on
the back of every volume may be easily
read. The shelves already provided will
accommodate 1 900, 900 books-twice as
many as are now in tho library.
The building has been SO constructed
as to afford space for other stacks, which
may be put up at any time, and will
hold Q, 700. 900 volumes more. A mil.
lion books in addition may be accom-.
modated in the courtyards, and there is

PUNISHED FOR CURIOSITY.
A Learned Chinese Doctor Pays Dearly For
Little Innocent Sightseeing.

A Learned Chinese Doctor Pays Dearly Fol
Little Innocent Sightseeing.
1t is dangerous to crafty curiosity OF
to violate precedent at the Chinese i'm
perial court. The empress dowager is o
great stickler for etiquette. Recently
she required the services Of DR.. Ii Te-
ch'ang, vice president Of the Imperial
Academy Of Physicians, at Picking, for
one of the members of her suit at Eho
Park palace. The learned doctor had
never been inside these famous palace
grounds, and his curiosity was fred to
see the many curious objects Of which
he had heard wonderful tales. So he
bribed a palace eunuch to show him
around the grounds.
While the two were leisurely walking
about and enjoying themselves the en-
press spied them. She at once dis
patched servants to punish their efron-
terry. The eunuch was seized, thrown
on his face and accommodated with SO
blows with the bamboo on the calves Of
his fat legs. The doctor was locked
three months pay and received q severe
reprimand, while his assistant vas Or
dered never to venture again into the
empress presence.
The affair createda sensation because
Of the high position of the physician
and Of the humiliating punishment
dealt out to him.-New York Sun.

AerOnautics.

We do not know at how early a date |
man first envied the birds their pow.
er Of passage through the air, but
there is no allusion in classical lore
to any practical attempts, unless the
story of Daedalus and Icarus has
has some foundation in fact. The
first trial Mt aerial transportation is
little more than a century ago, when
on June S, 1874. the Montgolifer
brothers at Annonay, near Lyons,
France, sent up a small balloon inlat-
ed with hot air, but no person accom-
panied it. The following October
one Roster made an ascension at
Paris, the balloon being inflated with
hydrogen gas. The dates of first as.
tensions acros the channel are: Eng.
land, August 81, 1884; ireland, Janua.
ny 10, 1875. Coal gas was first used
for imitation July 10, 1921, the corona
tion day of George ", of England.
There have been some frightful acct
dents to %aeronauts, but really balloon.
ing is not particularly dangerous.
From 1883 to 1889, ffty-six years,
four hundred and seventy.one per.
sons made as%censions, many of them
a great number of times, and only
nine of them were killed or fatally
injured. But, though balloon ascen.
sions can be easily and safely made,
no reliable method of direction has
been discovered, so that practical
navigation of the air does not seem
near at hand. For Il time, then, we
must rely upon the railroads as u
means of travel, and are really quite
we'll off when such comprehensive
and we'll equipped systems as the
Burlington Route are at our service.

Of designing mammas who have unmar-

worthy priest of Cronstadt, recommend

The people of the thirty-6rst

The people of the thirty-frst
district can congratulate them
selves on the return of L. A.
Simpson to the house. His cleo
ton was the hardest fought of
any ever made in the district, and
considering the strong influences
which were brought to bear from
outside the district it is certain
the will of the people was with
him and the measure for which
he stands, or he could never have
received a majority of the votes
of the district. And it must have
been doubly gratifying to Mr..
Simpson to have carried Dickin-
son by the handsome majority Of
ffty-two on a total vote of -four
hundred.

Hon. FRED FANcHER of James
town was in town last week and
spoke as advertised, at the opera
house. His speech showed a
thorough knowledge of his SUBJ
ject-the principles of republican
ism-and an equally clear insight
into the fallacies of the claims put
forth by populist and democrats.
A fine sense of humor, tempered
by good judgment, enables Mr..
Fancher to clinch an argument
and keep an audience in good
humor without committing the
error of many public speakers ir
whose hands humor become:
worse than useless. Mr.. FancheI
is a practical, successful farme
and business man, not one VIII,
can tell other people what to d,
but is a failure in everything him
self. Mr.. Fancher made hosts O

The results of Tuesdays cleo
ton confirm our prophecy that
lit is a republican year" DEM
ocracy is thoroughly beaten in
New York, and from all the cast
ern and central states comes news
of overwhelming republican ma
jorities. The House of Repre-
sentatives will be republican too
but the returns are not in enough
to make the exact majority Ger
tain. Republicans gain one con-
gresham in North Carolina and
two in Kentucky.
Minnesota rejects her COVER
nor and all the states Of the
Northwest are in the republican
column.
In North Dakota the republic
can victory was anticipated. The
people have had enough of un-
kept promises and fusion rule,
and spoke in no uncertain tones
at the ballot-box Tuesday.
The legislative fight in the
thirty-frst district was hardly
fought; and, everything consid-
cred, Mr.. Simpson must consider
his reelection a great compli-
ment.
Stark county is republican save
one officer-the sheriff.
The people of the United States
want sound money, good credit
at home and abroad, protection
of home industries, good wages,
and plenty of work. And the
Republican landslide Of 1894 is
but the omen of a far greater one
in 1906.

A MYSTERIOUS CONVICT.
He Concemls His Identity, but Not His Br
liant ACCOMPLISHMENT.

He Conceals His Identity, but Not His Bril-
liant Accomplishments.
"Who is Hogan?" is question which
has troubled prison officers at the south
ern Illinois penitentiary for years.
Hogan is the brightest convict, intellec-
tually, in the prison and and is one Of
the most valuable because of his versa
tility. Interest in Hogan has increased
materially since Governor Altgeld, a
few days ago, committed his sentence
from 48 to 81 years, and OF next Christ
mas eve Hogan will transplant his tai
ents to more c%ongenial surroundings.
Thomas Hogan, peggy Ryan and q
man named Pritchard were. beating
their way across the country in 1873,
and one day in September they boarded
a Chicago and Alton freight train in
Greene county, near Carrollton, and
found several other tramps in posses
sion. A fight ensued. During the melee
one Of the tramps was thrown from or
fell off the train and was killed. Hogan,
Ryan and Pritchard were arrested for
murder. They were quickly disposed Of
at the rate of 48 years each in the peni-
| Tertiary.
The prison officers soon recognized
Hogan's superior talents and placed
him where he could render valuable
service. He took a deep and intelligent
interest in every duty assigned to him
and wa very quiet, orderly and neat in
everything he did. He gave up a
word as to his parents, relatives or
home. he never wrote a letter, except
to his lawyer, or received one, but it is
confidently believed that Hogan is high
~ connected. He is a college graduate.
Said Warden Baker, speaking Of Ho-
gan: "Do we want a translation from
the Greek or Latin inscription, Hogan
does it. If any piece Of copy is to be
written in q copper plate hand, Hogan
does it in the most elegant manner. If
we require a trial balance made, Hogan
makes it. He is filled with accurate in
formation upon all sorts Of subjects and
makes all kinds Of calculations with
ease, yet he never volunteers to say q
word unless asked. He appears to be
contented and applies himself diligently
to his duties. He is one Of the best pris.
oners we have"
A correspondent met Hogan in the
office the other day and vas greeted by
a cordial handshake. eyes, I am very
glad I am going out" he said. "Ihave
been here 81 years and am anxious for :
change. I have had some very warm
friends here during that time among the
officers, whom I shall be pleased to SEX
again" And he led the conversation
away from himself as if he wished tx
avoid it.-Chicago Correspondent.
