and Library Association, putting no faith
in the vagaries of our esteemed town
council, went TO work TO get up library
of their own. They are getting it; it is
almost here, If one thousand volumes in
hand is suggestive of a material library.
1t is for this reason that The Times takes
pleasure in calling special attention to the
entertainment, the details for which will be
found in another column, which will be
given tonight TO raise additional funds for
the worthy objectof thisassociation. Money
spent in this cause win be well placed; in
deed, money can have no higher or nobler
function than increasing the means and OPP
portunities for the eeduca tionofclasses many
Of whose members were able to attend no
school, early or late, but that of necessity.
II is, Of course, needless i'll these days of
enlightened sentiment, to speak Of the
benefits of this library to workingmen.
We would, however, emphasize one OF its
probable. in truth, assured advanta ges. 1t
will be a place of social gathering. 1t will
transfer idle hours to that exchange where
wOrkingmen may meet workingmen, and
where news of and for each other may be
best obtained. All success to the enterprise.

Wholly From District Revenues.

local expenditures. II is difficult to compre-
hend therefore, by what process of ratioci-
nation the appropriations committee ar
rived at the conclusion-that these two items
should be paid wholly out OF District
revenues, and not like all other expenses or
the District, share and share alike by the
District and the United States.
OF course, it will be understood that 1t is
not the amount assessed upon the District
treasury 10 which exception is here taken,
for that is OF no special consequence. 1T
would be all the same il it were only fifty
eight cents instead OF that many hundred
dollars. 1t is The principle involved and
violated by the action OF the House Gem
mittee that ought to be upheld. Congress
ought 10 stand by its agreement with the
District or abrogate 1t altogether, and sub
stitute something else for it. There should
be no playing fast an1loese in such matter
as this. Probably the best solution would
be the appropriation of lump sum equal TO
the amount of estimated or actual District
revenues, the whole TO be subject to Con-
gressonal legislation until such time as
the right of self government is restored to
our now dsfranchised people, when the
local legislature can make the necessary
distribution of funds. Until then, however,
Congress ought to be honorable enough to
stick TO its bargain.

sport" in Washington. The management
is to be congrat tulated aud the city is
TO be congratulated on the new lease
OF life given to the sport, as it once was
when men could not love / t half 50 much,
loved they not honor more"
What has been said Of the vogue at the
Benuing races is equally true of our an
cient friend, the national game, as il was
inaugurated for the season almost con-
currently with the steepie chase aud the
other events on the turf. Truly there is
a kinship between the home stretch and
the home plate. Perhaps it may be said
in favor OF our own game that it did not
require the introduction of the English
method to purify it, as was the case
with its twin brother. To use an Angli-
cism, Baseball was born q gentleman and
he has lived consistently up to his birth
mark.
But, as we said, Saturday was great
day for clean sport in Washington. As
long as it remains clean it will find no
more congcniaI or sympathetic herald and
historian than The Times, and when it
becomes degraded it Will find no enemy
more unrelenting.

YEAR CLERKS TO MEMBERS.
Resolution VIII He Reported to the

The House Committee ON Accounts will

the resolution providing for the employment
of clerks to members the whole year around.
instead OF during the sessions OF Congress
only. The question was recently agitated
anew in connection with the report OF the
conferees on the legislative, executive, aud
judicial appropriation bill.
1t was stated then hat the Senate
had amended the bill so as to provide
OF d committee. thirty eight in all, d clerk
at the salary of 81 500 a year. The House
con1erees had not agreed to the anne endment.
but General Bingham frankly stated that
he saw no outcome OF the struggle except
the concurrence by the House in the Senate's
proposition.
There was a feeling in the House that
its members should have the same assist
ance, and the resolution referred to was
introduced to secure it. The committee
were evenly divided on the question, and
it was decided TO direct Chairman Aldrich
to report it without recommendation which
he will do today.
The members will then have an oppor-
tunity, as Mr.. Cannon said the other day,
to secure annual clerks for themselves
IL a ma 5ority of them have the courage
to go on record as forming the proposition.
Mr.. Cannon Is OF the opinion that the
resolution will be passed. that 1.-The House
is stacked for ii. but Mr.. AldriCh believes
that 1T will be defeated. To provide these
clerks at 81 200 year, the same rate as
their present pay, Will cost S432 900

Clean Sport In Washington.

1T was great day for clean sport in
Westinghouse Saturday. That day
marked the beginning of new epoch or,
better. the rene wal OF a good old epoch
which had been Of late more hon9rcd IN
the breach than in the observance.
Reference is here made, OF course, to
the restoration by the Washington Jockey
Club to the District OF the ways and rneaus
Of making horse racing an unobjectioHable
Institution, retaining all that is good I'd
eliminating everything criminal or de-
grading from the royal sport. II was
tie assurance of sucha auspices that made the
opening day at classic Benning so distinct
triumph in social aud sporting circles.
1t is admitted that the evil in horse
racing is not in the horses, but N the
unchecked license to men and manners at
the race tracks. Some tracks, Indeed.
are Synonyms for scandals. crimes. and
disgraces, and of this kind OF track the
neishborhood Of Washington has been of
very recent years quite prolific. 1t need
not be said that the high tone of the
mana cement and the character OF the
attendance at Benning are guarantee

or unScrupulous. How far il can be en-
question, some hypnotists contending that
IN order TO cause a subject to commit a
chime while under The Influence of the
hypnoticsuggestion, there must be in the sub
ject ninatc cpredispositio todo wrong, and
that person with perfectly moral char
actcr will resist the hypnotic suggestion
as successfully US he would were il made
10 him while in his normal mental condi-
ton. On the other hand, however, there
are those who assert that the subject, once
he or she has been brought under complete
control OF the hypnotist, is as clay in the
hands OF the potter and must obey his
will, no matter where it may lead.
The fact, therefore, that hypnotlsm may
be employed for evil as we'll as for good,
ought TO be sufficient to engage the serious
attention OF physicians and jurists with
view 10 subjecting it to such regulation
as 10 minimize the opportunities of an
evil-tisposed hypnotizer TO work harm by
means OF his power. Just what legisla-
ton is necessary 10 do this cannot well be
indicated by the layman, for that is Of
the very essence of the task TO which the
gentlemen OF the medical and legal pro-
fessions ought to apply themselves. It is
clear, however, that the subject cannot
be taken in hand any too soon or too
earnestly.

There is an e0ifyng contrast between two
methods now being severauy advocated to
provide library for citizens of the District.
One of these is the Congressman's method
and the other is the workingman' s method.
For some months past the public has been
RECALLED with the more or less certain proyis
ion by Congress OF a free library. That In
stitution exists as yet only in the most
embryonic shape-a bill in Congress. Ii is
one of those institutions, by the way, which
cannot be enjoyed 10y anticipation In truth
the more the possibility OF obtaining this
free library from Congress is dwelt on the
farther away seems the reality. A great
many people believe, in fact, that Congress
may add to ills record for parSimony in
dealing with the District by laying the bl
on the table and performing the feat O. lay
ing the phantom library on one Of its own
ghostly shelves.
While the Congressman moves in a some
what mysterious way his failures to per
form, the workingman, and especially the
organized workingman, does not call on
Hercules until his own shoulder has been
put 10 the wheel. The Workingman Bureau

Hypnotism and the Law.

The people OF Kingston, in the Stale of
New York, are divided into two hostile
camps, and all anent a local reputable
physician who is strongly possessed OF
the hypnotic power and has practiced it
upon several men and women of the place.
Ii is reported that so great is this power
that he is able TO control two OF his sub
jects even at distance, one OF them hav-
ing fallen asleep in 4 cellar at the very
moment when the doctor, who was in
another part of the town, merely waved
his hands. On the side OF the physician
are number Of clergymen and other
reputable townspople, while ARA yed against
him is minority OF equally respectable
persons led by an Old lawyer, who claims
that the doctors practices are Injurious to
his subjects" The genuineness OF the
hypnotic phenomena is not disputed by my
body.

The part OF the medical profes sion and Of
legislative bodies to deal with the practice

CLEVELAND Is ARBITER.
He Is Adjusting "A Claim of Italy
Against Colombia.


President Clevela nd is now engaged
In the arbitration OF the claim OF Italy
against Colombia, all the papers in the
dispute having finally been presented in
accordance with the convention between
the disputants.
The case involves damages amounting to
nearly 81 500 900 on account of the
persecution Of Eruesto Cerruti, wealthy
merchant, and Italian consular representa-
tive during q revolution in Colombia
about ten year sagO.
The Italian brief which was delivered
to the President by Frederic H. Coudert
and S. Mallett Provost some time ago. a nd
to which Calderon Carlisle, for the de-
fense, has only recently filed an elaborate
technical reply, declares that Cerruti had
during a long residence in Colombia
amassed a considerable fortune, estab-
fishing one OF the greatest mercantile or
ganizatious in that country, was accused
Of violating neutrality between contending
parties in the revolution OF 1885, and all
his estates confiscated. After vaiuly
endeayoring to secure reparation, Italy
broke off diplomatic relations with the
South American State aud sent a warship
to rescue Cerruti and his family from the

MISS HOWE AS SoLOIST.
Washington Military Bands Concert
Filled the Grand Opera House


Filled the Grand Opera House
Will Haley and the Washington Military
Band last night gave another concert, and
il is announced as the last concert Of the
season. There is no questioning the popu-
lanty OF these entertainments. Though 1t
was an oppreSSively warm evening and
rain WIS threatened, Aliens Grand Opera
House wasas weIlfiledas was comfortable.
The appreciatiye reception given the per-
formers may induce the military band TO
continue the Sunday evening concerts.
The list OF selections was marked by the
dignified and popular class of mlsic Mr..
Haley has made the feature OF his cOUCertS.
Two of the popular director S own ,omposl-
lions were in the list and were welirccrITed.
1.-THE Kings Lieutenant" overture proved
a delightful composition, and the double
number embracing the pickaninny dance
from The Lady Slavey" aud a duet for
French horn and flute, was exceptionally
well played. The bdnd's bits in the second
part were fantasie from III Trovatore"
and q well devised descriptive military
piece called The Cavalry Charge"
Every number in TIE program was enthu
slastically applauded, and there were but
one or two exceptions to the general rule
OF encores. Mr.. Haley is, in this respect, so
obliging that his audiences depart tickled
with the thought that they have twice
their moneys worth.
Miss Mary Helen Howe was the soloiSt
of the evening, and, as usual, acquitted her
self admirably. Her selection was the
volero from Verdrs ''SiCilian Vespers'' -
Miss Howe sang with exquisite truth and
fine appreciation of tone values. A peculiar
flute-like flexibihty was noticeable in
the arpeggial passages. She made her
softest notes carry to the remotest corners
of the large house, even against the full
band which, however, played with a nice
sense of proportion. 1t was the first time
the band had attempted to accompany
vocalist.
Miss Howe's encore was the pretty little
song, . am Prtm Little Puritan Maiden"
from :" The Maid OF Plymouth
The closing number was q new National
Anthem composed by Tregina and TramOr.
1t has the characteristics best adapted to
inspiring choral performances, although the
large chorus did not sing with sufficient
volume to bring out the composition with
the best effect.
