MISUNDERSTANDING out of seventy.
Seven Presen.-Seventesa Hundred
New Novels Issued Last Year.
The Connecticut State Library assooia-
ton held an annual meeting in the lecture
room of the free public library building
yesterday, with Professor Samuel Hart of
Trinity college presiding. About seventy
members of the association were present
out of q total membership Of seventy -seven.
The visiting librarians were Welcomed In
behalf of the directors of the New Haven
free library by Alderman A. Msxey Hitler.
After the reading of the sscrstsry's report,
which showed great increase in member
ship, and also 9 surplus in the treasury, q
discussion was held in regard to vacations
for Librarians. 1t was shown that in many
small places only few days vacation are
given, while in New Haven about four
weeks are given. The general opinion WAS
that this was the proper term of vacation.
tanning paper on 'Books" was read by
Judge A. q. Fem, after which the meet
ing adjourned.
At 3 O'Clock an election of officers was
hsld which resulted in the choice of officers
as follows:
President, Professor Fart of Trinity.

North CRANKY, Charles s.. Woodin of Bristol,
Miss c. Belle Maltoy of Falls Village
Ess Of a
BRISTOL
Treasurer, ". J. Hills, superintendent of the
public library Of Bridgeport.
After the election . discussion was held
on "rhe Availability of Placing Fiction
with Paper Covers in Public Libraries"
In the course of the discussion It seemed
to be the prevailing opinion that more
novels were read than other books. 1t was
also stated that LOO new novels were
Published in England and the United
States during 1898. Letters were read
from various librarians, and all seemed to
think 1t not advisable to buy fiction In
paper covers.
Mics Hewing, librarian of the Hartford
public library aud . member of the state
library commission, then gave . summary
of the work of the commission during the
past year, a report of which will soon be
printed.
At the conclusion of the discussions
vote of thanks was rendered to the ofacisls
of the New Haven FREQ library for their
courtesy to the visitors; also to Judge Fem
for his fine address.
1t was decided to hold the next meeting
on May 30; the place was left to the decis-
ion Of the officers Of the association.

TO DYE FAST BLACK.
ANY WOMAN CAN GET A RICH
COLOR THAT WILL NOT FADE.

Three Special Diamond Dyes for
Black Home.Dyeing . Pleasure
with Them-Save Expense and De-
lay OF Sending Goods to she Dyer-A
New Dress for Ten Cents.
The fast black diamond dyes have saved
thousands of dollars to thrifty housewives.
There are three of them,-for cotton, for
wool, and for silk and feathers, and they
have all made to look like new many a
cloak, suit, dress, jacket or feather that
would otherwise have gone into the rag
bag.
Goods colored with these dyes will not
crock or fade, and are fully equal in beauty
to the work of the best professional dyer.
The color will not wash out in soapsuds,
and sunlight will not fade 1t. A ten cent
package colors from one-half to two
pounds, according to the original color of
the goods. Plain and explicit directions
on the package make it essy for the most
inexperienced to dye successfully with dia-
mond dyes, thus saving the delay and ex-
pense of sending goods to the dye house.
All the standard and fashionable colore
are easily made with diamond dyes, and 9
new dress for ten cents is often the result
of their use.

HIGH SCHOOL EXERCISES.

Addresses by DR.. Smyth and Profess
sor Hadley Before the High school
Pupils at United Oh rch-Washing-
ton at New Haven.
There was large audience at the United
church yesterday morning in attendance at
the patriotic exercises by the pupils of the
Hillhouse High school.
The body of the church was occupied by
the scholars, the teachers occupying the
seats at the rear. Principal Thomas and
Professor Jepson occupied the platform,
drsped.
The exercises began promptly at 1890,
and were opened with the singing of
hymn. A recitation followed on 1.-THE
Glory of Washington" by Paul AcQuaid.
Following this was an address by DR..
Smyth.
He began With pleasant remark to the
scholars on the inspiration he received
from looking into their bright, youthful
faces. He contrasted their present advan-
tsges with those children received during
the life of the great man they had assem-
"
a young lady in Center church a hundred
years ago to bs devoted to teaching the
poor children of that church reading, writ
ing and arithmetic.
He gave some interesting "reminiscences
of Washington's life and career. One that
had local interest was his visit to New
Haven shortly after his Inauguration SIS
president. He was making tour of the
Eastern states in his coach and four. The
people made 1t a triumphsl one. as every
where he was greeted with acclsmations,
tho ringing of bells and the firing of can
non. When in New Hoven he attended
service at Trinity church, and whils here
responded publicly to complimentary reso-
lutions rendered him blythe general assem-
bly,. then in session.
DR.. Smyth particularly emphasized one
sentence that occurred in Washington's
reply-'I was but the agent of favoripg
Heaven, whose benign influence has 30 Oft
en- aided my plans" That was the secret
of his success and greatness. He .cknowl-
edged the Supreme Ruler of the Universe,
without whose aid he was powerless.
Speaking of WsshinRton's political career,
he advised tho scholars to emulate his alb :
solute integrity, which admitted of no
compromiss.
II would have you enter politics, boys,
and purify them, and would have the
girls assist" Here the doctor smiled and
continued: Il have never spoken in favor
of women voting, but I think every man
needs at least one good woman to look af-
tor MIN and see that he votes right.
ENTER politics, but only on the ground
of high principles. You may get as far as
city hall by s'pulls" and crookedness, but
the solitary climber at the top of the polit-
ical ladder must depend on his own
strength and abide there through his own
Integrity. Such q man was Washington. :"
In closing his able and eloquent address,
DR.. Smyth loquently said:
"My young friends, the future belongs
to you. The past ia behind u.s. What shall
the future of this country be that will be
left in your hsndss"
The audience attsstsd their appreciation

Public Schools.
George Washington, father of his coun-
try, frat In war, first in peace, first in the
hearts of his countrymen, enjoyed unpre-
cedented popularity on this his 162d birth
New Haven has there been such an enthu-
siastic and patriotic celebration az was that
of yesterday. All classes and conditions
of men, from young America to the milk
white freshman and his cane and the bra
zen faced sophomore with his beaver-all
in their own various msnners-united to
pay tribute to him to whom all in 60 great
measure owe the blessings of country,
peace and prosperity.
1t is seldom of late years that New Ha-
ven's streets have presented such gay and
animated appearance As yesterday. It
| seems to have become rather fashionable
to pass the Fourth of July by unobserved.
But the revulsion of feeling has been in
favor of patriotism, and Washington's
birthday seems to have been the favored
occasion.
Long before 2 o'clock the Hyperion was
compile ely filed with people. The stage
was prettily decorated with flags and hunt
ing. At tho back of the stage was large
life-sizs portrait of Washington.
The officers of the various patriotic so
cleties, under whose auspices the celebrs-
ton was given, were seated on the stage.
General E. E. Bradley was the presiding
officer and delivered the opening address.
He spoke in opening of the reprehensible
lack of commemoration Of the day in re
cent years, and Of the really stion of this
fact by the country, and the renewal of
patriotic observance of the day. BE said
1t is, I think, q fair statement to make
that, as general rule, the day has been
A realisation of this fact has of late
especially within the past year OF
two-been growing in our country.
Thoughtful and patriotic people have
commented upon 1t and expressed re.
greet, coupled with desire to change
the existing apathy and apparent indlf-
ference into lively interest and active en-
deavor to properly observe the day which
saw the birth Of the one person who after
wards proved SO vitality necessary to the
| success OF the colonies in their strugg' Q for
freedom and the founding of our nation;
the one person who combined fervent
patriotism with ability, bravery and wis
dom and who was endowed by nature and
education with all the qualities of grea,
leadership. In closing General Bradley
paid fine and eloquent tribute in honor
of Washington that we'll became the occa
sion and General Brsdley's record as a
ready, fasnt and able speaker.
| St. Paul's choir next sang Keller's Amer
lean hymn, which WAS followed with an
Invocation by the R.v E. 8 Lines. Wal
lace B. Curtiss rendered solo, "The
Sword of Bunker Hill," which was very
enthusiastically received and encored. and

Observation Cultivated. I.

A novel method of cultivating the
faculty of observation In children has
been introduced by a teacher in an
uptown kindergarten. She tells her
pupils that she Is about to have a call
from someone who will remain only
three minutes; that no one must di-
rectly stare at him, but that the pu-
pill who gives the best description OF
him after his departure will receive Il
prize. The other day her father, q
Grand Army veteran In uniform, per-
formed the part Of caller, and some OF
the personal descriptions after he had
bowed himself out denoted unusually
quick and accurate attention to detail.
One boy had counted all his buttons
and gave the number correctly, an
other noticed an almost invisible scar
on his face, and various Others gave
details OF the color and shape OF his
beard, hair and uniform. The one
who received the prize was little
