UnveIling Ceremonies.

The event of yesterday was the unA
yelling ceremonies of the Woodmen at
Sunset cemetery. The mbnument was
one erected to the, memory of Thos. N.

The procession formed at the corner
of Second and Court streets. 1t was
headed by The Dalles band and imme-
diately followed by the Woodmen on
foot, to the number of SO. In the pro-
cession were delegation of 15 from
Dufur, also Mr.. o. D. Sturgess of Col
dendale. The Woodmen Circle, the
ladies auxiliary of the order, followed
in carriages. Then came many citizens.
Probably 1000 people altogether were
| gathered at the cemetery to witness the
ceremonies. These were under the di-
rection of Consul Gibbons, Advisor Mann,
Banker Phillips, Clerk Filloon and
Neighbor G. II. Brown. The opening
song was "Nearer My God to Thee.''
DR.. Doane read the poem 'Oh, Why
Should the Spirit of Mortal Be Proud. -
Two beautiful hymns were sung by
mixed voices. The oration by Mr.. John
Mcneil was mastery. He extolled the
virtues and sterling qualities of the de-

upon the benefits of the order of which
the deceased was an honored member.

HOW SOME WOMFN WORK.

1t is claimed that fifty years ago
women had only six occupations to
choose from, while now they have 500.
Like all general statements, this must
be taken with liberal grain of salt.
Fifty years ago, and long before that,
women carried on much of the retail or
small shop-keeping business in this and
other counties. They were midwives
and nurses, and-a fact perhaps not
generally known-they received de
greeS authorizing them to practice
medicine. 1t is doubtless true that
the old occupations were mainly do
meStic in their character, such as could
he acquired and practiced at home,
and they were rarely Of Il moneymak-
ing nature. The raw materials. of
which food and clothing were made by
women, were furnished by men who
were masters of the situation. who
represented power and who made what
money was made. 1t still remains for
women to acquire the power to make
money. They have sufficiently dc
monstrated their ability to earn Il live
lihood, but they can never take promi-
nent places in active affairs till they
have learned this lesson.
Madam Ristori once said to Il Young
girl who thought she could be both
great actress and Il great singer, but
was not sure but she would rather be
a composer than either .'Having too
many talents is rs bad as not having
any" This is Il bit extreme. TIE
rirl who is possessed of diverse gifts
may choose between them and cul-
tivate the most pronounced or the one
she finds most to her liking to serve
her professionally. and use the others
for her own and others pleasure. But
in order to do this she must also be
possessed of good common sense and
persistence. which seems oftener to be
bestowed upon the otherwise ungitted,
and in the long run often serves them

pamphlets, and it is expected that they
will be removed to the magnificent new
white granite building adjoining the
| Capitol in January, 1897. The Libra
ry of Congress is entitled by the copy
right law to two copies of every publ
cation issued in the United States, and
will thus in time possess an approx
mately complete representations of the
entire product Of the American press.
The site selected for the new build
ing is an ideal one, and perhaps with
out an equal in Washington. 1t is
eligible, elevated, dry, and level, and
separated from the eastern front of the
Capitol only by small park. The ex-
terror is wholly of white granite, with
four corner pavilions slightly projected
to relieve the monotony of the long IA
cade, 40 feet in length, with a depth
of $40 feet. In the interior the central
idea, as in the British Museum, is the
domed rotunda reading-room, 100 feet
in diameter and l20 feet in height, su-
perbly finished in Sienna and other
imported marbles. 1t is octagonal in
form and capable of seating more than
two hundred scholars. When the writ
er visited the Library with Gen. Casey,
the builder, and Mr.. Spofford, the IL
brarian. in the last week of the past
year, he was informed that the total
cost of the structure was more than
six millions; that some of the dupli-
Gates have already been stored in the
new building: and that it was connect
ed with the Capitol by tunnel. so that
book ordered by telephone by men,
bers of the senate or house could be
delivered in less than five minutes!
The total appropriation made for
the Library amounted to $500, 900, of
which General Casey expects to re-
turn to the treasury abont quarter
of Il million of dollars,-an unusual,
if not, indeed, an entirely unprecedent-
ed, proceeding in government work.
Forty-three miles of rccently-patent-
ed steel shelving has been ordered to

will all he in place before the books
are transferred from the Capitol. Two
beautiful halls have been prepared for
the respective use of the senators and
representatives, and the building will
also contain well-equipped bindery
Hereafter no visit to Washington will
be complete that does not include
couple of hours devoted to an inspec-
ton of the national library. 1t may
be added, in conclusion, that such
scheme of throughly artistic pictorial
and plastic art decoration is being
carried out in the new building as will
be worthy of the closing decade of
the century, promising to mark new
epoch in American art.-Hone Jou-
