there Is no end"
The multiplication OF books in Solo
mons day seems to have made the wise
preacher, very weary; and yet, viewed
from the standpoint of to-day, the liter
airy progress of that age appears very
moderate, to say the least. Books then
were produced with infinite labor; every
word and mark being made with the pen
of the scribe. The printing press, the
typewriter, the hektograph, as well as
all other means for reproducing the
thoughts Of men we're yet several thous-
and years in the future; so that suppos-
ing man able to buy q copy Of any Civ
en- book, he must 60 to the scribe and pay
him to write 1t for him, which would be
considered very slow process OF getting
q book In this rapid nineteenth century.
In those days a person would be well-to.
do who should own one book; but it
would require wealth, as wealth was
counted then, to own even small IL
brary. seriously doubt IL Solomon's IL
brary was as large as mine, although i
feel sorely pinched for books now and
again. Yet books did accumulate even
in that slow age of the world for in the
early centuries of the Christian era we
are told of a library at Alexandria in
Egypt containing 100000 manuscripts,
and this must have been the literary
gleanings of many lands and imany CEN
turtles. The loss to the world Of that
magnificent collection makes one almost
grind his teeth with rage. The story is
in brief as follows: The Saracen Turks
In the seventh century had captured Al
exandria and were looting the city. John
the grammarian, who seems to have held
the post of Librarian, noticing that the In
vaders paid no attention to the library,
hoped that it might be spared, and to
further this end went to the commander
OF the troops and begged that 1t, the IL
brary, might be given to him. This
brought about the very catastrophe he
sought to avert, for the commander, re-
ferring the question to the Caliph, receiv-
ed the following terse and unanswerable
reply: IF these books agree with the
Koran they are useless and need not BIO
preserved; IL they disagree with the Ko-
ran, they are pernicious and must be de-
stroyed." In any event they were doom
ed to destruction, and tradition saga that
these precious books furnished fueI for
the city baths (4000 OF them) for the

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1897-09-22

The cruiser Chicago was the first OF opr
new navy to be built. She, with the Bos-
ton, Atlanta and Yorktown, formed the
famous White Squadron that went TO
foreign countries to show TO our cousins
abroad "a sample OF what we proposed 10
do in the first steps in naval development
undertaken since the Monitor revolu-
tionized the worlds naval architecture.
That was ten years ago and it is re-
minder that we have been at work some
wears now on our new navy that the
cruiser Chicago. the most imposing OF
the white Squadron" quartet has
arrived at an az, when she Is as far be-
hind the times In naval construction as,
at her launching, she was ahead of any
thing in her class in any of the worlds
navies.
The tight little ship that looked big and
brave enough before we launched cruisers
of the New York and Brooklyn type and
battleships. has lust been thoroughly
overhauled, equipped with new and more
powerful engines and boilers and changed
in model and rig. The masts with their
sails that marked the transition from
the picturesque ships Of the old navy To
the fighting machines of the new navy
have been removed and in their place
stand military masts like those of her
younger sisters. She is bettered in speed
and lighting power and instead Of being
obsolete is brought up to date with the
unarmored cruisers that have been built
in later years.

A DISAGREEMENT.
Fasteners and EMPLOYERS In Broc ton
Conferred without Settling Strike.

Brockton. Mass. Sept. PA confer
ence between the manufacturers and the
sole fasteners was without result. All
propositions made by the sole fasteners
contained a clause that the Goodyear
people would not interfere in any shop
where there was any trouble between
the help and the manufacturers. Messrs.
Cobb and Smith declined TO accept these
terms. Finally the manufacturers sub
mitted a proposition which they said
would be their final one, intimating that
II settlement was not reached at the
conference they would open free shops.
The proposition was given to Secretary
McSherry at 1915 p. m., to present 10
the councillors CT his union. and at l0:45
he reported that they would not accept
1t. The manufacturers meeting then
broke UP, and their action today is
awaited with great interest
The rejected proposition reads as fol-
lows: I'VE hereby agree 20 pay our sole
fasteners for work: Sewing welt. two
cents per pair. one operator; sewing cork
welt. four cents per pair. two operators;
stitching. two cents per pair. We agree
that in case OF strike or lockout we will
not employ agents of any machine com
pany to sew or stitch on shoes. We fur

If the above prices are not satisfactory
10 the Sole Fasteners union we agree 10
leave the question Of prices TO the state
board of arbitration for settlement"
The refusal OF the sole fasteners to ac-
cept occasioned great surprise, and IL
now looks as though long fight would
be the result. The machine company
claims that this is not its fight. but that
II is one for the manufacturers 10 settle
with the lasters. The sole fasteners
think differently.
T. ID. Barry's sole fasteners, 40 in num-
her, came out yesterday afternoon, and
those employed by f. T. Wright OF
Rockland also left their factory.

THE TURK AND THE FRESHMAN.

Among the Turks-employed on the line Of
the first Turkish railway was an old man who
had son who was a soldier in one of the
regiments in the garrison of Rustchuk whom
he had not seen for a good many months.
Each day the regular through train arrived
and left, but the old Turk never got the chance
10 run up to Rustchuk TO SEQ his son, for the
train just came and went at the very moment
when he was engaged at his midday prayer.
And so the day $ and weeks passed. and the
old man, between his devotion TO his religious
duties and his love for his son. was left
lamenting the inconvSnient arrangement of the
railway time table. One day he confided his
trouble to the Irish foreman, whose name was
Flynn.
"Ah, my friend, you do not know how sore
my heart is"
We'll, baba (father). what is the matter
with you now ?" asked Flynn.
Well you see," said the old Turk, "iny
son, wlsm you know, is MP at Rustchuk, and |
have not seen him for so many months, and
his mother is longing to hear something about
him."
why don't you get leave, then, and 90 TO
see him - said the practical IriShman.
How can ~" replied the old man.
"Doesn't the train come in and go away
while am at prayers? Allah wills it that |
should not see him"
And so the time continued TO pass the old
man telling Flynn how his heart was weary
60 sec his son. II happened one day that as
the train drew mp at the station. the old man
was engaged NJ his devotions on his prayer
carpet close TO the line, an empty truck with
the door run back had stopped just opposite
where he was on his kneos and his forehead 10
the ground, and the Irishman came along.
Seized by sudden inspiration, he caugh, up
the old Turk prayer carpet and all. and land.
ed him In tho truck just as the train moved
OF. Two days after the old man came back
by the down train, his face beaming with
pleasure.
'Ah. my friend he said. as he saw Flynn
on the platform, only FOR you | should mover
have seen my son. II must have been Allah
