The Library Architects Explanation

y
To the Editor of The Times:
We beg to correct q false impression
growing out of typographical error in
the printed memorial of John l.. Smith
meyer and Paul J. Pelz, architects Of the
building for the Library of Congress, pro-
testing against the placing or the name OF
Gen. Casey's son as one of the architects
of the building on the commemorative
tablet, and the subordinating Of their own
names OH it to the engineers, who have
performed inferior parts.
This paper was presented in the Senate
on January % last. In it we quoted the
resolutions passed in 1896 by the Washing
ton Chapter of the American Institute OF
Architects, in condemnation Of the con-
duct or the son of the late Gen. Thomas l..
Casey in publishing himself to the world
in Harper's Weekly of December %, S95,
and other papers, as the architect of
the Congressional Library"
By a typographical error, occurring in
some one of the several copyings to which
the paper was subjected, the two words
"W ashington Chapter were omitted,
so that the resolution reads, I'VE, menbers
of the American Institute of Architects"
instead of I'VE, m embers of the Washing
ton Chapter of the American Institute of
Architects" as it should be. casual
reading might lead one to think that We
were quoting the institute instead of the
Washington Chapter only, though more
careful examination would show to the
contrary. To obviate the possibility of
an erroneous impression being conveyed,
even in q small thing. we will be greatly
obliged If you will publish this simple state.

Grave Charges

for its delinquent nd dependent classes
Tor less per capita than any other State,
Governor Budd has sought 10 malign the
State, 10 lie about conditions, so as TO set
a false and infamous pretext to justify his
criminal career in overthrowing all order
and giving places 10 the lowest and most
brutal politicians that ever infested III e
com monwealth.
THE management of the reform schools
was once good, but under Budd's reign
boys have been stood up in platoons and
whipped until they fain ted, blood running
into their shoes. Some of the great iusti-
tutions have been practically destroyed
by bands of thieves rut in control by a

these schools are in their present base and

TREATED With EQUISINE B
Boys Are to Be Made Secure
Against Drunkenness by
incubation.
DR.. d'Evelyn Thinks All Youths
Should Take the Treatment as
Preventive.

The boys of the Youths Directory who
have been recently inoculated with equi-
sine in order TO render them proof against
the desire for strong drink are getting
along nicely aud were no more incon-
venlenced by the operation than if they
had been vaccnated.
Father Crowley, when seen last night
about them. said he was not taking much
interest in the matter himself, as he had
given the subject no study ana had no
opinion as to the adequacy of the opera-
tion. However, as Superintendent Frank
Kane thought it would be good Tor the
youths, he made no objection to having
some OF them taken down to the office and
have Dr.. d Evelyn put into their blood his
prevention of drunke mes.
Father Crowley was So l1fied that 1t
could 10 the boys no harm at any rate.
and if there shou be any benefit in it
he would be glad for his charges to
profit by il. He thought about half
dozen of the boys had been inoculated,
and of these there were three whose
parents were victims OF alcohol. Only
| very small proportion of the boys at the
directory are the children OF drunken
| parents.
Dr. d'Evelyn says that the number of
boys from the Youths Directory whom
he has inoculated now reach tw I've or
! thirteen, and that he will continue to
work on them few at a time until all OF
| the inmates have been made secure
| against lurking germs of alcoholism.
He says the parentage o. all these
| thirteen had been inquired into and found
! to be such that the children were liable to
inherit the thirst for liquor B sides this

Al A +
| meut should be confined 10 boys of such

that, as a preven tive, all should be IN

Perhaps every one, said he, has a taint
of the thirst for liquor handed down from
| some mere or less distant ancestry, and
