competitors in a civil service examina-
ton fOr that position, has been settled
by her appointment 70 u trauslatOrship in
the State Department Miss StahIneCker
made a high percentage in the competi-
ton, while all the other candidates failed
She was certified for appointment by the
Civil Service Commission, but the War
Department officials interested said they
did not want q woman for the place. as it
involved other work besides translating
which a woman could not perform salts
factOrily- The Civil Service Commission
maintained that the failure 10 appoint Miss
Stahlnecker would be a violation OF the
law and was prepared 70 push the War
Department to an issue In view Of Miss
Stahlnecker's appointment to the State
Department, however, it is unlikely that
any action viii be taken by the commits

There are two distinct callings. one
involving training. learning, and skill in
the realm OF the tIDe arts -tnaJ OF the aTchi-
tect; the other training and skill in
Northumberland Of the engineer. The first
operates TO create the harmonious blend
IIic'b. grace, bcaui y, and ULiiIJy, winch make
the perfection OF comfort and the ornate
symmetry OF our buildings, and produces
in ancient and modern times the oTna-
mentation OF the worlds cities It de-
mands the delIcaCy and refinement of
taste and conception and the power OF
expressing warmth of feeling and the
beautiful ! n form that raise the painter
and sculptor to a sphere apart nom other
men. This is shown in all types of good
architecture, and finds almost universal
illustration, as in the Acropolis, the
Coliseum, the Cologne Cath edral, st. Isaac's,
the Kremlin, the Cathedrals OF St Peter
and st. Paul. the Mosque OF St Sophia,
the Tale, and, in the present, our beau
tiful dwellings, and the white spIendors OF
the Worlds Fair. Ii deals with the
dainty comforts. eleganCies, and refine
mentS that surround mankind in the highest
social relations. Ii has ever erected the
grandest monuments TO the most perfect
civilizations.
The other deals with the useful and
mechanical only, outside the realm of
the fine arts; as in spanning rivers with
bridges; confining obStreperous streams
with massive, solid enpankments of
cement and granite; the reclamation of
overflowed land by sluices and heavy
dykes; the construction Of channels and
trimming of water fronts by great piles,
the pile driver and steam Iredges; the
building OF sewers, reservoirs and aQue
ducts The Army engineers field is ONE
what different, in that lie builds pom
derOus banks or walls TO resist cannon
slot; makes roads over impossible ground
for the rapid movement Of large bodies
o. troops, and throws pontOons over bridge
less streams.
Engineering is typified by the skinful
adherence TO the laws OF mechanics re-
sulting in the Brooklyn Bridge, that won
derful stringing together OF gigantic iron
bars and steel cables; in the Mount Gents
tunnel, blasted and torn through the vast
rock OF the Alps; in the EadS Jetties, that
grasp and bend the fierce iInpetuosity Of
the Mississippi. It is further typified,
nearer home, by the reclamation, from the
med and slime of the Potomac, of the flats,
formerly the lurking place of pests 1t
deals with natural distractions to tie
progress of man in their toughest mani
festations. While the knowledge of
mechanics and the fitting together of
wood, stone, and iron may enable an engf-
peer TO put together the materials neces-

The eminent Librarian is widely known

about the building beyond piling one stone
But he who sees but the surface. OF things
is not an ordinary man, as we have most
forcibly shown, and cannot be understood
by the application OF ordinary rules.
1t is TO be presumed that Mr. Green
found the authorship of the plans iFk-
some TO him, when added to the weight
of the many other triumphs in the arts
for which he is so widely known, being
naturally modest, and felt that, being his
own, he could dispose OF it as he would,
and so gave it to the son of his old pa
tron, out of love and respect for the de
parted. But it does look awkward and
tends to give rise in the minds OF the en-
vious to unpleasant suspicious.

1t Will be borne in mind that, Just priorto
the lecture, Mr.. Snithmeyer and Mr. Pelz
had declared, in a Taper to the United
States Senate, that the plans were theirs,
and that the United States Court Of Claims,
after searching judicial inquiry. had SO de-
ternined, their judgment being affirmed
by the Supreme Court of the United States
1t is also fact that this judicial cOnSIGera-
tion extended from April II, 1883, to Jan
uary 23, 1898, beginning several months
after the new and diffeTeat' plans which
Mr. Green says I'VE made" were ready 10
be put in evidence against the preSEmptu-
Gus assertions of authorship made by jir.
Smithmeyer and MT. PelZ; and until June
8, 1898, while the building itself also be-
came evidence, the entirely new ana Gif-
ferent'' plans lay in the keeping of the
government, sure damnation of unjust
prctensions. Here again Mr.. Green's benev-
olence and diStaste for honors had full
sway. He yeaTned to be the EenefaCtOr
of Mr.. Smithmeyer and Mr.. PelZ, and re
Trained from going on the witness stand 10
confound them, Andit is u further fact that
leading architects OF this country, inClud-
ing Mr.. Richard MOrri Hunt, then 2 resident
OF the American Institute of Architects and
Member of the Academy of France, We're
on the witness stand n this suit, III 1889,
ana that the Attorney Generals office eX-
hausted its large powers in efforts to Sc
cure additional experts of the profession in
opposition TO the claimants, and that there
We're the new and different plans, com
plete, in SIS, open for the scrutiny and eX-
animation Of all.
Some would suggest that these things
had induced Mr.. Green TO think that the
claim to the authorship of the building
was a most excellent thing To let go of
and that he had handed it to his young
friend, while he slipped around the neigh
| boring corner, as did the ATtfuI Dodger
| when he cunningly switched the hue and
| cry on to poor Oliver Twist. Some would
recall that truly good and great man, Peck
sniff, so maligned by Mfr. Charles Dickens,
| who charged that he changed Martin ChuZ-
Zlewit's plan for grammar school to the
| extent of two windows and then appro-

Healey & Whitney, the popular mana
gers of the San Francisco Minstrels, an
nounce that their company will make tour
of the east. The fame of the San Fran
cisco Minstrels is co-extensive with the
boundaries of our land, yet the east has
not seen this popular company; excepting
their Boston engagement, they have never
played in New England. Healy & Whit
ney have kept their company up to its
former standard of excellence and no mat
ter how many minstrel shows have ap-
peared before you will never have the op-
portunity of seeing the distinctive features
Of refined minstrelsy presented properly
until the advent Of the original San Fran
cisco Minstrels. The show is new this
year from start to finish, from parade tc
afterp:ece. The military band, the superb
orchestra, the sweet singers, the comic enc
men, the original comedians, the grea
specia ties. are all new to this section. A
performance exceling anything ever seer
in minstrelsy is promised at the Bellows
Falls opera house next Monday evening
