LONDON. July 2l.-The standard says

Strong Movement in Favor of Keep
ing 1t Open Evenings.

The movement in favor of securing from
Congress the legislation requisite to pro-
vide for the opening of the Congressional
Library to the public evenings is growing
in strength and memorials distributed by
the East Washington Citizens Association
are receiving great numbers of signatures
Mr.. Thomas w. Smith, the president of the
association, has sent out a circular to all
local organizations and many prominent
citizens, inclosing copies of the memorial
and asking for signers and return of the
document by January-3, 1898, to the librari-
an of Congress.
The memorial. which is addressed to Con-
gress. urges that body to adopt the recon-
mendations of the joint committee on IL
brary of the Fffty-ffth Congress, first ses-
sion, and of the librarian of Congress- that
the new Congressional Library reading
room be opened evenings, and that the nee
essary appropriation be made for the ad-
ditional attendants needed which will be
the only expense involved, and that the
said appropriation be made Immediately
available. Continuing, it states that this
action is earnestly desired for the benefit
of the thousands of intelligent residents of
Washington and citizens of the various
states and territories residing here who
are now excluded from it on account of it's
being open only while they are at work. 1t
is believed that this measure Is so univer-
sally desired that it has only to be brought
to the attention of Congress to meet with
early and favorable consideration

Rare Transpnrencfes on Glass Made
by MIR. Jack Killers.

Great attention is being paid by passers-
by on the south side of street to the
group of remarkable colored Photographic
transparencies displayed in the large win
dow OF No. 1912. The pictures give views
of the Natural bridge in Virginia and two
striking scenes on the New river along
the lire of the Chesapeake and Ohio rail
road. The pictures are the work of M.
Jack Killers, who is the originator of the
photograph on glass in the natural col
Ors of the scene presented, and are among
the best examples OF his wonderful art, an
other fine specimen OF which is the large
scene in the front window of the Cosmos

Against Compromising With Shop
lifters.s

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
AT this season of the year, when the
stores are crowded with shoppers, atten-
ton is especially attracted to the GUS
tom of certain merchants to accept pay
ment in satisfaction for goods which are
found upon the person of shoplifters, in
stead of having such offenders arrested
and punished. This practice, In my opinion,
cannot be too severely condemned. not only
because it is violation Of law on the
part of the merchant, but because it is
attended with great danger to society. in
a: much as 1t encourages those who would
fear to commit a dishonest act by reason
of the punishment which would ordinarily
attach as an incident to detection, but
who feel, by reason of the custom referred
to, THAT the only result will be to pay the
price OF the articles stolen, or, as in the
case which l have in mind, to be COM
PEELED to pay twice the value of the goods
BY accepting payment instead of having
the offender arrested a premium is plac-
ed upon crime. and 1t is but proper that
the merchant for his own protection, as
well as for the protection Of society gen.
orally, should have every person found
stealing promptly arrested and dealt with
according to law. i s. NJ z.

CLEAN CHRISTMAS FRUIT CAKE.

Customers do not get the small

our Christmas Cake. 1t is as clean
as it is possible to make it, and it is
just as good as it is clean, only the
very best material being used in its
manufacture. All fruit'is washed
by our own process. Particular
care is given to the baking. The
choicest butter is used in making
Christmas Cake, just as it is in our
pastry. Orders have already been
received from many of the best fam
lilies in Texarkana. Many of them
have made their own Christmas
Cake heretofore but a sample has
convinced them that baking, as we
do hundreds of pounds we can bake
better cake than they can, and sell
it to them for less money than they
can possibly make it for. 1t sells at

mans body gets out of repair-the

whenever he is listless, is losing
weight and that his ordinary work
gives him undue fatigue, he needs
