Sunday National Library.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
writer in The Star claims that the first
article in favor of opening the National
Library on Sundays was published in this
current year. The movement began, how
ever, in 1878. On February of that year a
ecture was delivered, under the auspices of
the Art Club, to very fashionable and
crowded audience at Willard Hall. The lee
ture was printed by the club on the request
of the late Mr.. Corcoran. On page 20 find
the following passage:
LAS a general rule, the museums and Ii
braries lin Europe) are free to public use,
and a large number of them are open In
the evenings and on Sundays. In some To-
calities, however it is still considered best
to keep museums open only at such hours
and on such days as are convenient to the
wealthy and unemployed, and the religious
thing to allow workingman no choice Of
resort on Sunday except between the low
tavern or gin shop and the church..
Not long after the lecture petitions in
favor of the Sunday opening were numer-
orsly signed and presented to Congress,
but no ction was taken. The movement
has always been popular in Washington.

Gold Is the main circulating medium

bill or a bank. note but ii soon goes out
of circulation. Fellows who are about to
start back for the states usually grab on
10 every piece of paper money they can
get hold Of. 1t is easier to carry than the
gold.
There were forty saloons in Dawson in
september, and all were enjoying a land

the ruling quotation for whisky, and there
was q never-failing demand for the arti-

man can get into any game he wants in
Dawson, and there is no limit to the stakes.
Poker and faro are played most.
Dawson has a theater. 1t is three stories
high and built Of boards. The rankest
Kind OF vaudeville show holds forth
every other night. On the alternating nights
dancing Is held in the building. and there's
where you have dead loads of fun. A lady
for partner is rarity. Women are so
scarce that there are always fights among
the fellows to settle as to who shall have
the honor OF dancing with the few.
Cotillon sets are filled out entirely by
tha male sex in many of the dances. 1
know of one fellow who sold out his claim
for 10000 and was devoting his time ex-
ciusively to the terpsichorean pleasure. He
was the first one on hand and the last to
leave the dance hall. And he never missed
single dance. AS dancing is somewhat
ore expensive than in the effete east,
inquired that he would dance out the
$4,000 by next June.
Most OF the women in Dawson are of
the demi-monde Some of them are indie
pendently rich. The miners money drifts
into their purse in steady stream.
Gold is the medium of exchange Every
store and saloon has a man who does
nothing but weigh gold dust taken in ex-
change for supplies or drinks"

To the Editor Of The Euning Star:
In your Observation-Disclosures with Com
missioner Evans, pension frauds in the case
of deserters Is spoken o. and he suggests
that bounty jumpers make up the differ
ence between 800 600 Ind the actual number
Of deserters. I havs Nd doubt that the
number given--viz, aOO.000-is part Of the
juggling with figures fhat has been in
dulged in ad libitumsbyY those whose high
est ambition and greatest pleasure consists
In smirching the character and belittling
the achievements OFT thu men who risked
everything, who suffered everything, to pre-
serve the government from disruption.
But let the number of deserters, as shown
by the army records, be what 1t may, my
present desire is to call attention to two
! Glasses of soldiers, who, unmindful of the
necessity of following a prescribed course,
nave, more than any other class, no doubts
contributed to enlarge that number, while,
at the same time they have honestly and
Vallantly served their country to the end.
One class consists of those men who,
after being duly mustered into the service,
nave found themselves in uncongenial sur
roundlngs, perhaps, or there may have
Deen some state of feeling existing between
them and their officers; or, as was not in
frequently the case, they discovered friends
or relatives had gone into another organi-
AdtloL. 10 leaVe the first organization with
out the fcrmality of discharge and enlist
In the other w. not in their minds, a
wrong act, but it involved their mourning a
record as deserter from the first organi-
eaton, notwithstanding an honorable serv-
Ice and honorable discharge as of the sec
ond organization. Cases of this kind were
SO numerous that law was enacted re-
moving the stain of desertion from those
really honorable soldiers.
announcer class consists of these who had
served up to May l. 1865, who had had at
least SIX months honorable service prior
10 that date. The war was ended. They
had served long and faithfully, and the
country had no further need of their serv-
ices, while, especially in the case Of farm
ers, their families needed them, and the ad-
vanced season admonished them that their
nelds also needed them If a crop was to be
harvested that year. Is it to be wondered
at that they did not care to wait for the
SLOW process of mastering out, but prefer
red to go at once to their families, and let
the government settle their accounts at
ITS leisure? Their officers had no choice in
the matter of record; there was only one
way to account for these men, and thar
was to place them at the end Of the roll
as deserters. A law was passed to relieve
tnese men also of the charge of desertion.
nave worked on such cases in the War
department, and will venture the asser-
tlon that very. large percentage of the
records of desertion were made UP of the
TWO classes l have mentioned.

THE BUILDING TRADES,
Proceedings of Weekly Meeting of
the Local Council.

the Local Council.
The weekly meeting of the Building
Trades Council, held last evening, was at
tended by a full representation of all the
affiliated crafts. President William Silver
occupied the chair and Mr.. D. j. Sullivan
was secretary.
Communications were read from the
Building Trades Council of Chicago, in re-
ply to a letter sent to that body relative
to the attitude of the Washington Build
ing Trades Council in the matter of the
construction of the federal building in Chi
cago and also one from the District Com
missioners, the contents of which were
not made public.
Credentials for the delegates from the
Plumbers and Gasfitters' Association were
read and the delegates admitted and OBJ
ligated.
Mr.. John P. Healey, who was delegate
OF the local council to the convention of
building trades recently held at St. Louis
submitted his report, which was accepted
Mr. Healey stated that, as a result of the
labor of the convention, national building
trades council was organized, and it was
believed that in the near future every local
building trades council in the country
would become affiliated. He further re-
ported that the representatives of the local
building interests of many of the largest
cities in the country, who were present at
the convention, were unanimously agreed
that a national alliance of the building
trades is necessary to the best interests of
that class Of workmen. He assured the To-
cal council and the building trades of the
District that through the national organ
ization much beneficial legislation will be
secured from Congress.
Mr.. Healey also stated that the national
council would cooperate with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and could not
possibly antagonize that body or the ma
tonal craft organizations, as each local
council is guaranteed complete autonomy.
The convention, he said, unanimously
adopted resolutions favoring suffrage for
the residents Of the District of Columbia
and will petition Congress for favorable
legislation relative to the matter
The question of utilization with the ma
tional organization will be definitely de-
cided by the council when the constitution
adopted by the recent convention is sub
mitted to the locals
Mr.. Healey was elected second vice presi-
dent of the national organization
