NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-St. Paul, for rea-
sons that everybody can understand, Is
not likely to be mu ch OF a laggard. In
q little more than four months this stock
will be established on a A per cent. basis.
st. Paul may have discounted a great deal
OF prosperity that IL is now seeing,
but II the facts that govern at this time
could have been foreseen six months
ago, st, Paul would never have sold at
the low tR ures that 1t did. There Is no
doubt that with partial restoration OF
confidence abroad the stock will be taken
in hand and will become as great an in
vestment favorite of the fut ure as IL was
q speculation fancy in the past. The
earnings for the fourth week OF October
Will be out after the close today and Will
show most remarkable increase. The ST.
Paul Is making more money today than
Northwest is and is relatively the cheaper
stock of the two. The talk that one hears
around Wall street OF cunning for a
speculative line of 200 shares is that
questionable gossip that should not be
allowed to..infiuence even the most guilt

There is distinctly better feeling on the
Changers. There Is no danger, whatever,

The Tragedy Of Life.

FROM the LONDON daily news.
Our Vienna correspondent telegraphs:
The hard life which is the fate of thous-
ands in this big city, where their years flow
unseen, Is sometimes revealed to us by a
fash of lightning, when the circumstances
that lead to crime are exposed In a court of
Justice. Thus. on Thursday. young seam
stress, Paula Christ, appeared before the
judge to answer to the charge u having
pa~ned linen worth $50 fiorins belonging to
her employers. For four years she had
supported her old parents by the work Of
her needle. and this cold winter the need
of fuel prevented her from saving enough
to pay the small rent. Her father and
mother would have been turned out of
doors. SO she pawned the shirts she had
been working upon to pay the sum owing.
During all the bitter winter this girl had
been paid at the rate of shilling for each
dozen shirts made. The judge asked her
how long she took to make them. and she
said she had to work hard to finish them in
twelve hours. One penny for an hours
hard work. and three people to keep out of
it! The court considered the theft to have
teen committed under very hard circum-
stances. and sentenced the girl to only a
weeks detention.

MOVING THE BOOKS.
A Proposition to Build an Elevated
Road to the New Building.

A Proposition to Build an Elevated
Road to the New Building.
How are the books to be moved?
The new building for the Library of Con-
gress is now nearly finished. By the end
of next year 1t will be ready to receive
the treasures of literature which now are
stored in the Capitol. under Mr.. Spofford's
care. Yet the problem of transporting the
volumes to their future abode remains
today unsolved.
1t seems most nkely-this being the lat
est and apparently the best suggestion
that temporary elevated road will be
constructed to connect the Capitol with
the new library. Over this road cars will
be run swiftly by steam or electricity.
carrying loads of books. By such means
they could be transferred with great rapid
ity and ease. The tramway on stills would
pass directly from the floor Of the rotunda
to the main floor Of the Library building.
Mr.. Green, superintendent Of the new
library building, has been disposed hither-
to to favor the plan of Transporting the
books through the brick-lined conduit
three feet below ground, which is to con-
rect the library with the Capitol Through
this tunnel a cable will pass and cars will
be run, after a fashion similar to that Of
the trolleys in dry goods shops, though
utilized for transporting the volumes when
the time arrives for the move. But OBJ
lection is made to this suggestion, on the
ground that the books would have to be
lowered into the conduit at the Capitol
end and lifted again at the other end of
the line from the basement of the library
to the main floor. Thus, much more time
would be consumed and greater labor in
volved. On the other hand, the shift from
the rotunda by elevated road would be
easy and expeditions, and the volumes
delivered in the great circular reading
room may be readily conveyed to the ad-
jacent book stacks.
the transfer of the books have been sug-
gested, and very likely the one finally
adopted will be quite different from any
thing SO far Thought of. The method chos-
en- by the Boston Public Library in its
recent move from Boylston street to Cop

Unable. The collection, which numbers
about 100000 Volumes little more than
half the size of the Library of Congress
was transported BY means Of carts and
horses. OF course the labor involved was
enormous. How great 1t was may be i'm
agined when 1t Is considered that 40O.OOO
volumes placed side by side would extend
for distance of about seven miles
Equally primitive, however. was the plan
Library of Prussia, which is the third
largest in the world. possessing 1.OOO,OOO
volumes. A regiment of soldiers was call
ed out for the purpose, each man being
provided with basket. The men formed
line from. the old building to the new
one, and the baskets of books were passed
from hand to hand, like buckets at fire.
Maybe the National Guard will be called
on to do like service here but it does not
seem probable. The Library of Congress,
by the way, has 6S5.OOO bound volumes
and 23O.OO pamphlets. approximately.
