1870 congress passed law providing
that the librarian shall perform all
acts and duties required by law touch
ing copyright" This put upon him q
vast amount Of detail work wholly
foreign to the legitimate duties of q
librarian.
Every new book, nearly, is copyright
ed, also q great many separate articles,
pieces of music and even title pages
The money in those cases comes in drib-
lets. It would be strange indeed If a
genius for books were coupled with q
genius for bookkeeping, or even with
ordinary talent in that direction. Mr..
Spofford has been obliged to depend in
these matters upon others. The fees
received are to be paid into the treas
ury Of the United States. As matter
of course, the librarian was not expect
ed to personally look after the finances
of the Office.
The law itself, says the Chicago In
ter Ocean, ought to be changed so as to
relieve the librarian from any financial
annoyances and responsibilities. It
may be set down as morally certain
that no man really fitted to be the
librarian Is adapted to "the duties re-
quired by law touching copyrights.
AS well expect trotting horse to work

Hickok was born at La Sale, Ill, in
1889. He was scout, gambler, frontier
officer and reformer. He was marshal
Of Abilene, Kan, when the Texas cat
tle-trail trade was at its height, and
compelled the untamable cowboys to

cattle towns secured his services, and
he always brought order out of their
chaotic conditions, regardless Of the
number of men he had to shoot to do
1t. 1t was said that his revolver never
missed it's mark, and it is certain that
the purse Of ten thousand dollars once
made up by the cattlemen for his death,
because he had killed, while on duty,
one of their number, was never claimed.
With tho close of the cattle trade

Another proof has come to hand Of
the value of kerosene for the destruc-
ton Of mosquitoes Prof. Howard,
chief entomologist Of the Washington
department Of agriculture, while at
Ithaca in the spring, was told that the
college campus was infested to an un-
usual extent by mosquitoes. Searching
for the cause, he found lot Of holes
for fence posts, in which there was
stagnant water. On close examination,
he found them crowded with mosquito
larvae, and he had kerosene poured
into each of the holes. At once the
plague ceased. Several times the treat
ment was applied, and soon the Cornell
campus, a plot containing several hun
dred acres and filed with shrubbery,
was practically free from mosquitoes.

Training . Cavalry OK.

A curious story comes from Berlin.
A lieutenant of a uhlan regiment made
a bet about six months ago that he
would train q young OK within six
months so that it would obey the word
of command liz cavalry horse. The
trial took place few days ago On the
drill ground of the uhlan barracks in
the Invalidenstrasse. Itseemed at first
as though the officer would win his bet.
The OK trotted, galloped right, galloped
left, and did everything perfectly, till
it came to the vaulting. In this the
animal failed, and the officer lost his
bet. He was congratulated, however,
on his perseverance and success in
training so unpromising an animal

Gen. Wolseley to BE Chief Conm:nder Of
tho British Army.
According to cable reports Gen. Wis.,
count Wolseley is to succeed the ven
erable duke of Cambridge as COM
mander in chief of the British army.
Garnet Joseph Wolseley was born in
Dublin June 4, 1888. His father was
Maj. G. j. Wolseley, Of the Twenty.
fifth foot regiment. The son went into
the army as an ensign when only nine
teen years old, and that same year
fought in the Burmese war, receiving q
medal for gallantry. Two years after
he fought in the Crimea. At Sebasto-
pol he lost an eye and received a
wound on his right cheek, the scar Of
which is visible to this day. He was in
the trenches and round shot struck a
gabion filed with stones. A piece Of
flint two inches and half long was
driven into his cheek. He came out Of
the war captain.
In 1857 he was ordered to China, but
his ship was wrecked near Singapore.

He next fought in the Indian mutiny,
and came out of it a lieutenant colonel,
wearing the Victoria Cross, the decora.
tion for personal valor most priced by
the British soldier. Then in the Chi
nese war he served a. quartermaster
general, winning q medal and two
clasps. In Canada in 1867 he was pro-
NOTED to be deputy quartermaster gen.
eral and had command of the Red
river rexpedition. For this he was made
Knight of the Cross of St. Michael and
St. George.
In 1871 he served as assistant ad-
jutant general at the war Office. His
fame as a brave man and as On able
commander was widespread, and when
in 1878 the Ashantee war broke out he
was given command Of the troops on
the Gold coast. His brilliant conduct
Of the war earned him a major gen.
eralship and his K. G. B. Parliament
gave him o grant Of 100000 for his
services, and he became the hero of the
day.
He served in 1874 as inspector gen.
eral of auxiliary forces, in 1875 was
governor of Natal, and in 1878 governor
of Cyprus, then just acquired by the
masterstroke of Beaconsfeld. In 1879
he was sent to put an end to the Zulu
war, the previous commanders having
bungled it.
Then in 1899 he conducted the Egyp-
tian campaign with signal ability, and

made commander in chief Of tho forces

rapher and typewriter. To aid her In
performing the duties Of her Office with
satisfaction she has devoted her spare
time to studying law, paying particular
attention to the constitution and stat
utes of Wyoming.
Early in July Gov. Richards and his
wife attended the interstate drill of the
national guard in st. Louis, and dur
ing their absence Alice not only man
aged all the business Of tie governors
Office. but was at the head of the
household affairs at home, where
there are three younger children.
While the secretary Of state is, dur
ing the absence of the governor, ''act-
ing governor" that official, very gal
liant gentleman, did not assume any of
the duties of his position, except such
as required his official signature, and
SO far as the performance Of the duties
of the position were concerned. Miss
Alice was the ''acting governor"
On one occasion notorious criminal
who had murderously assaulted .
Cheyenne policeman, and who was ap-'
pretended in Kentucky, was wanted
here for trial. Miss Richards signed
requisition papers requesting the gov
ernor Of Kentucky to deliver the man
into the custody of officers from Wyo-
ming, which, in due course of time, was
done. Every evening she telegraphed
her father. giving him briefly an idea
of just how the affairs Of the Office
stood and how the children were at
home.
The fact that Miss Richards performs
these duties causes no particular COM
ment here, and the matter was scarcely
thought of until notice in outside
papers wrought it forcibly to the atten-
ton OF Wyoming people. The institu-
ton of woman suffrage, which has
been in practical operation in Wyoming
for the past twenty-five years, gives
very many clever women of the state
an opportunity to assume political
duties and perform them satisfactorily,
and the opinion prevails here that there
is no position in the state beyond the
ability Of Wyoming women to fill.

PRETTY GIRL GOVERNOR.

The private secretary Of Gov. w. A.
Richards, of Wyoming, is his nineteen
year-old daughter, Miss Eleanor Alice
Richards, better known In this COM
munity as Alice Richards, writes the
Cheyenne correspondent of the New
York Herald. Miss Alice not only per-
forms the duties Of an amanuensis
while her father, the governor, is here,
attending to all the correspondence
Of the governors Office, but during the
absence Of the governor from the cap
ital or from the state she is, to all prac-
tical purposes, his representative, and
fulfills in q very creditable manner the
duties Of his Office.
Alice was born at Oakland, Cal, Just
nineteen years ago. AS she has never
been east of the Missouri river she may
be considered q typical western girl.
She lived with her parents at Oakland
until she was five years old, and then
removed with them to Colorado Springs,
Col. At the age Of ten she went with
her parents to live on bigcattle ranch
on the banks Of the Big Horn river in
northern Wyoming. Here for four
years she was instructed by her par
ents, there being no schools in the
country. Here, too, she formed the
habits Of independence and self-reli-
ance which life on the frontier gives to
western girls. She learned to ride half
broken cow-ponies and sometimes went
on the 'round-ups" with her father.
She also learned how to keep house in
the practical, common-sense way Of
earlier times.
Mr.. Richards, Alice's father, was ap.
pointed surveyor general Of Wyoming
in 1889, and came to Cheyenne to live.
Alice went to school in the Cheyenne
public schools for several years and
then attended Mills college, near Oak.
land, Cal, where she graduated last
year. Her father, upon his election as
governor Of Wyoming, gave her q posi-.
tion In his Office last January as his
private secretary. She was taken on
trial, and the trial resulted favorably,
and she is pretty certain to hold the
position throughout her fathers term
of Office, which does not expire until
1899. Miss Alice is an expert stenog.

would be absolutely irreparable and
very great. It is not often that a. loss
is really irreparable. He entered the
